PRIMITIVE TIME
PIECES SHOWN

The division Of mineral and me-
chanical technology of the Smith
sonian Institution has just com
pleted an important addition to it's
section of measurement.
The division has assembled in one
case several examples of time telling
devices used by primitive peoples.
The exhibit starts with the sinking
dish which was like a basin having
small hole in the bottom. When
placed upon the sur ace of water the
bowl gradually filled and sank, then
1T was emptied and refloated. The
time required to sink the dish was
the time limit.
The next exhibits are two other
water clocks. or clepsydras. Among
the other specimens are those which
tell time by the period required to
burn unit. These included knotted
rope, punk. tobacco, candle nuts. a
marked candle, and time.indicating
lamps. There is also a representa-
tive collection of hour glasses, which
were invented to overcome the de.
ficiencies of water clocks. Water
evaporated or froze but sand was
more permanent.
, The collection also includes an Eli
Terry shelf clock of 1918 and a
cuckoo clock OF Swiss or German
origin, made in 1868. They were de.
posted by George H Kernodle.

GETS WORKER
80 DAYS

PHILADELPHIA, May ga one.
man racket that had the appearance
Of novelty was uncovered by Dela-
ware county police. who arrested
John Roggerio, 10. Roggerio was
committed to the county Jail at
Media for 80 days by Justice of the
Peace A. C. Mathues on a charge
Of pandhandling.
Roggerio, according to Deputy
Sheriff George w. Plotts, who ar.
rested the youth, worked his racket
at funerals.
On April 25. Plots said, Roggerio
went to the home of Emil Yorke, in
Prospect Park, where the funeral Of
Yerke's wife was about to be held.
Roggerio told Yerke he had been
asked by Yerke's brother to deliver
message requesting that the fu-
neral be held up for an hour.
Yerke thanked Roggerio, gave him
81 and held up the funeral for three
hours, waiting for the brother.
Finally. the funeral was postponed
until the following day, and in the
meantime Yerke started to investi-
gate. The police were notified.
The next day police got word
from the home of Mrs. NJ. Smedley,
in Upper Providence Township, that
a youth answering Roggerio's de-
scription had tried the same scheme
there. at another funeral. but
haGn't been successful.
Roggerio explained to the justice
that he had been making a living
off this racket in and about Phila-
delphia for some time. He said he
charged from Is cents to 81 for the
messages, he delivered, the charge
being in keeping with what he
thought he could get.

.HUTCHINS SEES
CRIME FACTS
NEEDED
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
Copyright. 1929. by international
News Service)

News Service)
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May g.
The first step in bringing about law
enforcement in the United States
should be "the acquisition of accu-
rate information on the administra-
ton of criminal justice"
This is the viewpoint of Robert
Maynard Hutchins, dean of Yale
law school who at the age of 30
has been appointed president of the
University of Chicago. When he
assumes his new duties on July Fl
he will be the youngest college
president in the country.
Conferred With Hover
Dean Hutchins recently on
ferred with President Hoover at the
White House, and 1t is believed he
may be asked to serve on the
Presidents so-called crime COM
mittee.
Interviewed today at his office in
the Yale law school, the tall, good
looking young dean admitted that
crime is one of the paramount prob
lens confronting the American
people. Asked what in his opinion
should be done to strengthen law
enforcement, he said:
ACQUISITION of reliable informa-
tion is the first step. There are
only Ia few States in the country
that know what Is happening.
Georgia has made a good survey of
criminal justice. Virginia is now
making one. Illinois and Missouri
have done excellent work in this
respect, and a survey is now being
made in Massachusetts,. But. gen.
orally speaking, our methods are
notably defective.
Yale is now conducting a study
that embraces both the criminal and
civil business in Connecticut, Mas.
sachusetts and New York. We have
four years more on grant from
one of the Rockefeller boards and
will carry the study into other
jurisdictions in that time.
Aims of Study
We are trying to find out,
among other things, whether there
! is delay in bringing criminals to
trial. What produces it. Also.
just what the public prosecutor
are doing-what influence the
prosecutor has on the fate of men
ami women he arrests. Can he
decide whether the person is to be
prosecuted? Is he exercising com
plete control? How does his atti-
tude differ in the prosecution of
various types of criminals.
Americas administration of
criminal justice is a complicated
machine. the accounting system of
which is notably defective. We
wouldn't run a collar factory in
the loose manner we do the busi-
ness of administering the law"
Dean Hutchins would not attri-
butte the increa in crime in
America to prohibition, or any
other one factor. He said he had
no idea" just what has caused the
apparent" increase in crime. He
might be able to answer that after
a trustworthy national survey had
been made. He said people attribute
crime Ito whatever they do not
like, whether it be the automobile.

METERS
FOR 'PEPCO'

Permission to replace the present
style electric meters with six new
and approved types has been asked
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion by the Potomac Electric Power
Company. it was learned today.
The new meters, it is said, are
much more accurate where over
loads may occur than the ones now
in service.
Experts of the commission are
studying the question and within
the next day or two will order the
power company to file reports
showing just how many meters in
service register too slowly or in
excess of the percentage they
should show.
Under the present plan the COM
pany is required to report each
month on the number of meters in
service and the reports show
variance of from SO per cent to
104 per cent. the larger figure rep
resenting the limit beyond which
a meter may not go.
The commission, it is understood,
is now working on a plan to have
the companies show just what the
percentage of fast meters is as
compared to the total number in
service. Congress is also to be
asked to change the variable figure
so that 102 per cent will be the
limit
1t is pointed out that under the
present method of reporting the
commission cannot determine
whether say 80 per cent Of meters
are fast or to the contrary. This
the commission is interested in de-
termining with a view to rectifying
any condition which might be un-
fair to the consumers of electric

BUSINESS ASKS
STAY IN RISE
Of STOCKS
BY MERRYLE S. RUKEYSER
(Copyright. 1899, by Universal
Service. Incl

NEW YORK, May s.--organized
business through the Chamber Of
the United States has called upon
the financial community to call a
halt in the aDnormally rapid innu-
ance of new securities.
The delegates to the seventeenth
annual meeting of the chamber
were impressed with the recon-
mendations of Harry A. Wheeler,
vice chairman of the First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, that the
credit situation could be best cor
rected by allowing time for in
4 vestment absorption of present
undigested securities.
OF course. IL the pace of issuing
new securities should be ternpo-
rarily slackened, it would follow
that companies, with huge cash
accumulations now lent on call,
might gradually find it necessary
20 draw on such balances to take
care of their own requirements.
After considerable sniping, at
the Federal Reserve authorities
by individuals, the chamber passed
a. resolution favora hle to the ed
eral Reserve Board. Likewise,
Congress n its present session at
least, according to the best in
formed opinion in Washington, is
unlikely to take any action un
friendly toward the system.
The Chamber of Commerce res
.olution hardly supports the state.
!ment made by William &. Durant
on April IA to the effect that 971a
per cent of the industrial leaders
of the country are against the
policies of the board. ''The Cham
ber," according to resolution
adopted ''has confidence in the
Federal Reserve System, and its
adaptability to new conditions,
AID holds that the system is en-
titled to the utmost cooperation.
A. Il. Graustein, who acquired
interests ia 13 newspapers as pres
ident of the International Paper
Company, obviously lacks unani-
nous support of the directors of
the company. Ogden M. Reid, one
d the directors. is responsible
head of the New York Herald.Tri-
bune. which offered the subjoined
editorial comment on the Grau.
stems newspaper acquisitions:
1--WE are strongly convinced
that such investments are strong
ly against the public interest. The
independence of newspapers
policy constitutes its greatest op-
.portunity for public service. When
that independence is compromised
in whatever degree, by financial
influence or otherwise, the loss to
its readers and to it's community
is grave the danger Of rer-
: mitting such a corporation to OBJ.
tain a financial influence in a
