A Supreme Court Building.

It will be gratifying to the American
people to note that Congress is moving
forward steadily with plans to provide
Cor the United States Supreme Court
D structure in keeping with the position
this court occupies as the highest
tribunal in the land.
A preliminary design for the build
ing has just been completed and un-
doubtedly will be passed upon without
delay by the Supreme Court Building
Commission. Having acquired the site
on First street between East Capitol
street and Maryland avenue northeast,
there is every reason to believe that
Congress will put through the neceS-
eary follow-up legislation for the con-
etruction work as soon as the commits
sion is ready to submit its final report
On the plans and specifications.
The drawings and miniature model
gust made public are tentative, but they
reveal that in its new home the court
will have adequate facilities not only
10 handle its present volume of work,
but for the future growth that is bound
10 occur. j
At the present time the court is
crowded Into a limited space in the
central portion of the Capitol Building,
between the Senate and House. where
Its accommodations can not be ex-
banded as time goes on. In the new
structure there will be suitable quarters
for the clerical staff, for counsel and
for the appropriate housing of great
law library.
Every day of the year Americans
visiting the National Capital visit the
Supreme Court in their journey through
the Capitol. The seating capacity OF
the present courtroom Is limited and
there is nearly always a waiting line OF
visitors in the corridor. The new court
room will be approximately sixty pei
cent larger.
Aside from actually providing the
court with adequate housing accommo'
dations, this proposed building will b
q notable addition to the area sur.
rounding the Capitol Grounds.

Doctors of CriminologY.

Both the University of Chicago and
Northwestern University are to estab-
ush departments of criminology for the
training Of police officers.
This may we'll mark the start Of a
new era in the administration Of law
in America. There is no single cure-all
for the allegedly growing lawlessness. 1t
arises from sundry fundamental causes.
One of these causes is the increasing
anadequacy of the policeman to deal
with the increasing complexities of
human relations.
This is no slur on the individual Of

We've got to stand together,
AS the world goes on its way.
And leaves us wondering whether
Life has lost its spirit gay.
We're setting up defiance

And things we said were Science
We're informed are quite untrue.
We are worried bout the weather
Crime waves put us in all wrong
But we've got to stand together,

GRADUAL INCREASE
OF INSANITY CASES
In STATE, REPORT

Washington, D. c., Feb. 28.- The
department of commerce makes the
following announcement for the state
of Montana concerning results of the
1927 census of mental patients in the
state hospitals.
The Montana state hospital had a
total of 293 first admissions during
the year 1927 as compared with 81
in 1926 and 317 in 1922.
These first admissions represent
patients received during the year, who
had not previously been under treat
ment in any hospital for mental dis
ease. Such newly admitted patients
afford the best available measure of
the number of new cases of mental
disease which are brought under hos
pital treatment during a given year.
The decrease in the number of first
admissions to the Montana state hos.
pital between 1922 and 1927 represents
a still larger decrease relative to the
population. as compared with 56.7 il
the fact that the first admissions il
1927 numbered 53.4 per 100000 Of
population a scompared with SGT il
1926 and 57.8 in 1922.
| The extent to which provision hal
been made for state treatment of in
sane patients is indicated by the mum
Der of patients present in the stat
hospitals on given date. In Mon
tana the number of mental patient
under treatment in the safe hospits
increased from 697 on January 1, 191
to 1,451 on January 1, 1922 and t
1.472 on January 1, 1928, and tn
ratio of such patients per 100000 o
: general population increased fror
! 1853 on Jan. 1, 1910 to 264.4 on Jan
1, 1922 and to 1852 on Jan. 1, 1925
Of the first admissions in Montan
during the year 1927, 202 were male
y and 81 were females and of the ps
tients present on January 1, 1872

DRAMATICALLY SPEAKING

CINEMATICALLY SPEAKING
Two directors with megaphones at
tached sit discussing the deplorable
lack of new material, when in bursts
a strange creature in the likeness of
a young man, dressed in plus fours
and with small eyebrow sprouting
from its upper lip. 1t waves its cap
in erratic circles, shouting in a high
soprano voice and in accents excited:
"Eurekal Eurekal"
With much gusto and some profan-
ity it outlines an idea which has al
ready been exploited from fifty differ
ent angles, above and below.
The two directors put their heads
together, drink a couple glasses of
real champagne, and nod pleasantly to
each other; then they knock wood.
Director Number One winks at the
leading lady of "Tear-stained Pajam.

dies his fingers coquettishly at the
equally leading lady of "High, Wide

megaphones thru force of habit, an6
again knock on wood. Having thus
earnestly and thoughtfully deliber
ated, they pronounce the idea a bril-
liant inspiration and begin laying
plans for its production.
