Writing in Harper's Magazine. Jack
Black, who served long terms for felo-
MES. effectually exploded much OF the
hysteria about crime and criminal leg
islatIon. He says most OF the reform
ers begin at the wrong end They ad-
yocate more laws. when present laws
are adequate and additional legislation
serves only to make the problem more
complex and create more criminals.
They criticise the police. when The
fault lies in the system that has un-
dermined our police departments.
Graft and corrupt politics have so
lowered respect for public authority
that police departments are crippled
and honest, intelligent men are dis
coursged from taking up such work as
G vocation.
Mr. Black speaks as an authority
lie has been a criminal and has known
thousands Of other criminal. He as
serts that third degree methods. the
American prison system and a burden
OF laws. tend to increase crime.

yAsHoN ISLANDS CONTRIBUTION
TO oLYMPIA-JUNEAU BOAT
RACE

Two weeks ago little attention was
given to the pretty, trim cruisers that
sailed northward through the West
Pass, with Juneau, Alaska, as their
goal yet one boat, the Bolinder. owned
by Richard Froboese of Seattle, was
followed through the news columns
daily by John Metzenberg,
Now the secret of this interest is out
On the morning of June 16 John was
called to put back into running this
boat which had broken down at Bates
Landing. As there was only short
time limit allowed until the boat would
have been disqualified fast work was
necessary. John made the trip to the
Landing about as quickly as the
Plymouth could travel, which was
plenty fast, and with his unerring
mechanical skill located and remedled
the trouble, sending the boat on its
way in thirty minutes, just an hour
and half under the time allowed.
Consequently John was one of the
most interested in the boats progress,
and felt well rewarded when the
Bolinder reached Juneau after the long
grind, and was declared winner in the
capital to the capital race.
While the outcome of this particular
service is u bit more spectacular than
most of the responses, it is only one Of
the many calls these boys" at the
Met-Cro respond to daily giving glad
ly the best of mechanical skill,

This year Mr. Mukai is developing
on large scale that which he has
tried on small scale in past years, the
barrelling of logans and raspberries.
This will mean more to Vashon grow
ers than would appear ON the surface,
for where the canneries prefer the un-
der ripe berry, Mr. Mukai wants the
.ul'y ripe berries, difference of prac-
tically a ton per acre to the grower.
These berries will be packed as soon
as delivered to the packing houce, and
under normal conditions will be in
barrels within two or three hours after
picking, with another two or three
hours until placed in cold storage. BY
working two shifts day, it is estimat-
ed that from 20 to 80 ton of fruit can
be handled in every "a hours.
Contracts have already been signed
for l25 tons of logans. and Mr.. Mukal
states that this is only a small part of
the fruit he expects to handle.

Of Record of Court
Reporter

That the plaintiffs il the Har-
lingen parksite row will appeal the
decision recently rendered against
them in the civil district court be-
came apparent Saturday when they
ordered statement of facts from
the court reporter.
The decision against them in fa-
vor of the Harlingen city commits
sion and several other defendants
was rendered on an instructed ver-
dict. Other necessary papers in
the appeal was expected to he
placed before necessary authorities
soon.
The suit revolved about the pur-
chase of the Arroyo Colorado park
site by the Harlingen city Ccumis-
sion. A total of 100000 in war
rants was issued to buy the land
This, the plaintiffs alleged, was too
high a price and constituted legal
fraud upon the taxpayers of Har-
lingen. The court failed to sustain
their allegations, however.
The Harlingen park row has been
under way for some time between
two factions. one favoring tie pur-
chase of the Arroyo site and the
other favoring park on the other
side of the city.
