whole story.
"The good citisen," says Mr.. Ian
deseo, "has grown up in an atmosphere
of obedience to law and respect for It
The gansster has lived his life in q
region of law-breaking, graft and AK
ing That Is why the good citizen
and the gangster have been unable to
understand each other. They have been
reared In two different worlds"
The boy in the "gangster" district
has the same tendency to become q
sangster as the boy In . farming dis
trict has to become q farmer. 1t is
the line Of least resistance. He Is
not a congenital criminal. He is not
particularly cruel or ruthless. Often
he Is q very likable fellow. MIR. Lam
desco confessed q real affection for some
Of the ganssters with whom his work
has brought him in contact.
The vital point Of attack, he points
out, Is the slum itself and the proper
method Is to raise It's moral and
intellectual level through schools,
churches, community centers, etc. But
II these are of the patronizing type, as
so often they have been in the past
their work will be practically worthless

Victor BERGER.

Victor Berger was the first Socialist,
elected as q Socialist, to sit In the
House Of Representatives. He was an
organizer of the Social Democratic
party In 1898-known since 1900 as the
Socialist party in this country. When
he was first elected to Congress In 1910,
there was CONSERVATION in some quar-
tiers. His election, it was feared, was
only the forerunner Of the election Of
other Socialist members of the House,
and perhaps of the Senate. But the
growth Of the Socialist party up to the
present time has not been such as to
cause grave alarm to the other political
parties or to the great mass Of people
who differ from the Socialist in
principle. The World War, perhaps,
was stumbling block in the pathway
Of the Socialists. Nevertheless, the
Socialist party polled its largest vote in
the election for President in 1920, when
the candidate Of the party, Eugene
DebS, received sl9,7ss votes. At the
same time Harding, the Republican, was
receiving upward of 100000 votes
and his Democratic opponent, Cox. had
more than 100000. Four years lateI
the Socialist party largely gave its sup.
.zort to the candidacy Of the late Sena-
tor La Toilette in the presidential race
Last year the Socialist candidate
Thomas, had 267,420 votes, although
the greatest popular vote in the history
of the country by many millions va:
polled In that election.
And now Victor Berger, one OF thu
organizers of the Socialist party ant
one of the few who succeeded in bring
ing about Socialist control In his owr
community, is dead. His memory Il
honored in Milwaukee. Many OF thos'
who served with him in the House vii

The Gangster.

An adequate understanding Of the So
called "crime wave" requires an under
standing Of the personality Of the
"eangster," his psychological makeup
and the conditions responsible for his
existence.
Working in that great laboratory OF
criminology, the city Of Chicago, John
Landesco, research director of the
American Institute Of Criminal Law.
has gone far toward such o funda-
mental comprehension. He has learned
Of the sangster from gangsters them
selves, their families, their neighbor-
hoods, their schools and their churches.
MIR. Landesco finds that the two
most prevalent popular conceptions are
wrong. The gangster Is not q weak
youth who has become the victim OF
evil associates. Nor Is he vicious in
dividual waging q vindictive war on
society. He Is o very ordinary fellow
with the inevitable human mixture
Of good and bad qualities natural
product" says Mr.. Landesco, "of his
environment-that is, Of the slums OF
our large American cities"
These slums, he points out. are the
FIRST homes Of immigrant groups. Some
families prosper and move to better
sections. Only the unsuccessful are
left behind. Their children grow ur
with only two models Of success-the

Dangerous Posts.

Several years ago Congress author.
lied the removal of the big gates at the
entrance of Executive avenue running
between the White House and the
State, War and Navy Department. The
gates were removed and sent to Spiesel
Grove to be placed ct the entrance OF
the Hayes Memorial in Ohio.
Col. u. s. Grant, Sd, in asking per-
mission from Congress to send these
gates to the Hayes memorial, also
asked for an appropriation for the re-
moval Of the posts. Congress failed to
grant this appropriation and the posts
have remained a menace to both pedes-
TRANS and motorists ever since.
At the present time this avenue Is
more or less thoroughfare, being used
by all kinds Of motor cars, including
big buses. During the rush hour Of q
recent morning one Of the buses goins
north on Executive avenue struck the
post on the east side Of the street and
came very near upsetting. The posts
are massive and obscure the vision Of
both motorists and pedestrians and
should either be removed or the street
closed to public use as far rs motorists
are concerned.
This street originally was for the
private use of officials Of the White
House and State, War and Navy. Old
Washinetonians remember when these
gates used to be closed and the public
prohibited. Today the cars Of the
White House oficials and employees line
the east side Of the street and the west
side is lined with cars In ofhcial use
by members Of the State, War and Navy
Departments. When q car backs out
from the curb, traf1c is tied up for the
moment, but even this brief delay
causes q trafic jam.
There is always more or less trafit
on this avenue all during the day, but
during the morning and afternoon rush
hours 1t is impossible to get through
this street without many stops, because
at the Pennsylvania avenue entrance
there is q crossing policeman directing
trafic both ways and because Of thu
! thousands Of Government clerks. Why
not remove these unsishtly posts or clos'
this street to public use before fatality
occurs?

Zeppelin World Tour
Shows Builders Spirit

From the Boston Evening Transcript
By airship against seaship Germany
seems almost to be waging war with
herself. No sooner does the Bremen
come pushing past Ambrose Light with
new speed record for westward con-
quest of the Atlantic than the Graf
Zeppelin roarS into Lakehurst as though
specially intended to remind the Amer
lean public that the Bremen's crossing
was not so fast. after all. The great
new steamers time was bettered by 20
hours, even though the Zeppelin, de
head winds In the north. came by q
course $500 miles, longer than the
Bremen's route from Cherbourg to New
York.
Even 30, the margin Of time saving is
not large enough to be of much avail.
Taking $500 as the normal average fare
for the Bremen against the $4,000 rate
on the Zeppelin, the 40 hours gained
cost each passenger on the airship
$l,5oo. or &75 an hour. This scale Is
obviously q bit too steep to be called
competitive. The compensation has to
be sought In the thrill, the immense
novelty. Of crossing the Atlantic via the
sky itself and not on the sky-blue water.
Here Is justification, certainly, for the
high tariff. And quite apart from all
practical considerations, the United
States certainly will mark and approve
the strong resolution and steady sports
manship Of the German hackers Of
Zeppelin night in undertaking and
completing this fresh, successful at
tempt to drive across the Atlantic so
soon after the failure of the previous
effort, which might well have diScour-
aged hearts less strong and ambitions
not so determined.
Now o. "round-t the world -by. sky
cruise is announced for the Zeppelin.
Here Is novelty complete. Whereas the
Atlantic crossing has several times been
mastered, no lighter-than.air craft has
ever gone round the globe. If the Graf
Zeppelin can accomplish this amazing
night In the stages planned-Lakehurst
to Friedrichshafen, to Toxic, to Los An
geleS ana so back to LakehurSt-the
feat will unquestionably deserve rank as
century. It seems necessary to say,
however, that unless exceptional good
fortune Of weather favors each Of the
long, long stages, completion of the
world tour appears almost an impossi-
bility. Even the largest of airships siln-
ply Is not the master of wind and
weather which the airplane has repeat
edly shown that she can be. But that
fact only increases the respect In which
one must hold the courage and persist
ence Of the Zeppelin pioneers, even
ord to date has yet supplied any broad
basis for confidence In the commercial
practicability Of long distance naviga-
| ton by airship. The Bremen and Maui
retania still press too closely behind
even the mightiest balloon.

@. To how many countries can
Americans 60 by airplanes?-M. @.
A. Foreign countries to the number
Of 16 are now connected with the United
Central and South America, the West
Indies, and Canada.
e F. r. what Is the Hotel oe' 'n''i'os''
A. 1t is the famous military hospital
and soldiers home in, Paris. 1t was
founded in 1870.
Q. How far below the surface is
Echo River In Mammoth Cave?-C. K.
A. 1t Is $50 feet under ground.
@. What countries ind 1t unnecessary
to take o nteracy census?-M. T.
A. Neither Switzerland nor Sweden
takes any cognizance Of illiteracy, since
they have compulsory education, and
enforce the laws so rigidly that 1t Is not
necessary to take q census tabulating
Nliteracy.
Q. What makes the wind blow
r. l.. H.
A. Wind Is air In motion. II all parts
of the earth were equally heated by
the suns rays, the atmosphere would be
equally dense and In state Of perpetual
calm. It happens, however. that the sun
heats certain areas Of the atmosphere
more than IL does others. The heated
portions of the air expand and blow out
over the cooler areas. The heavy air OF
the cool areas is no longer held back by
the lighter air Of the warm areas and
rushes In to restore the equilibrium.
Thus winds are formed. The direction
of winds is considerably detected by the
rotation of the earth on its axis.
@. What States have daylight saw
ing? Does England?-C. r. s.
A. States having daylight-saving
laws are Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land. It is observed by municipal ordi-
nances In New York City. Albany fBuffa-
10, Rochester, and q number OF other
towns In Connecticut it Is also observed
locally in some towns, as In Maine, New
