TIVE electric refrigerator is re-
L garded as one of the greatest
developments of modern civilization
and in view of It's convenience its
popularity is not surprising. House
hold refrigerators are even more
common than certain small
automobile.
Recent news dispatches told of
the poisoning of twenty-nine per-
sons in Chicago from refrigeration
systems and the deaths of ten of
these. A study of these cases has
been made by DR.. A. H. Kegel and
DR.. w. D. Mentally in the Chicago
health department and a summary
of their findings is presented below
The most widely used modern re-
frigerators employ sulphur dioXide
gas, methyl chloride gas, ammonia
and brine. All of the Chicago cases
resulted from escaping methyl
chloride gas.
Because the gas has no odor and
does not manifest itself readily by
irritating the eyes or throat, its
presence was not detected until in
furious effects became apparent.

Likely to Get Caught

IT generally is supposed that the
L laws Of England are not only Sc
verer than those Of this country, but
administered more harshly.
For some inscrutable reason we
Americans associate efficiency with
ruthlessness, and since England has
the faculty of catching her GRIM
inals, we jump at the conclusion
that she treats 'em rough.
AS a matter Of fact, the average
sentence imposed in English courts
is less than that imposed by Ameri-
can courts, but the average English
thief, forger or murderer is far more
likely to get caught.

FutiIity of Fright

QUITTING aside the part played
4 by his estranged wife, was not
such a sentence too severe in the
first place, and was not the fact
that he led a fairly decent life after
escaping worth some consideration?
What profit is there in imprisoning
men who have shown that they can
conduct themselves reasonably well.
or in imposing excessive penalties
on them with the idea of frighten-
ing others?
What does our criminal record
prove more conclusively than that
men can not be frightened by see
ing others hurt?

DR. PERRY M. LICETENSTEIN
~ the Tonbs physician, examined
Morello in the Fifty-thir street
prison and said that, in his opinion,
"All symptoms point to a functioned
mental disturbance"
This affidavit was presented in
court, with a plea for the reduction
of bail. At this hearing the prisoner
tainted, but since the district at
torney explained, Hes only sham
ming" the court presumed to over
ride the doctors opinion and to
send the innocent bystander back to
a cell.
Later an examination was made
by Cornwall and Wechster Of
Columbia university. They stated,
1T is our opinion that continued de-
tention in prison under the present
circumstances, which of necessity
must increase both his anxiety and
depression, will aggravate his men
tai condition and that there is grave
danger that much severer psy-
Ghosts will be precipitated."
This testimony was shown to the
police, and the prisoner was trans
ferred to Queens prison, but there
was no mitigation of his treatment
If he were an accused criminal he
could see a visitor between $50 and
10 in the morning, standing in line
with other inmates and talking
through two thicknesSes Of screen
Since he stands under no accusa-
ton whatsoever, he is permitted to
see his wife under precisely the
same conditions as prisoner in
dicted for a major crime.
Indeed, New York's oficialdon1
takes so slight an interest in the
welfare of any normal ally, such as
witness for the state, that Deputy
Commissioner of Corrections Robert
Tudor declared yesterday afternoon
that he had never heard that the
innocent bystander was suffering

Peace by Force

TN this particular case, the Jews
4 seem to be the victims of I'M
necessary persecution.
Apparently, the Arabs accept the
liberty guaranteed them by England
as a license to raise hell, and ap-
parently England must take up the
cudgels, though she has compare
lively little at stake.
In spite of our dreaming to the
contrary, peace still is a matter of
force, especially on the fringes of
civilization, and there is intoler-
ance to be met outside the Amer
lean Bible belt.

Crime in ENGLAND

Z NGLAND is now sending $4,000
H persons to prison annually,
where twenty years ago the number
was 100000.
E. Roy Calvert, British penologist,
says this is due to more lenient laws
rather than to a decrease in crime.
Crime remains about the same in
England, he believes, and about the
same number of persons are brought
into the courts as before, but the
number sent to prison has been
greatly reduced.

Peace Still Is a Matter of
Force, Especially on the
Fringes of Civilization.
SAYS:
IF the Hague conference fails, 1t

IF the Hague conference fails, 1t
l. will be Germany's fault.
That, perhaps, is the most i'm
portant thing to remember.
Germany has accepted the Young
plan, but the allies have not.
England is dissatisfied with the
division of reparations payments
which the Young plan provides.
Mr.. Snowden has demanded that
England's share be increased by
some $11,000,000 annually.
France, Italy, Belgium and Japan
are willing to grant an increase of
eight or nine million.
Put in plain English, that means
the world is being held up over a
sum of money hardly sufficient to
operate a good size fresh water COL
lege.

The fortified town of Courtrai, on the
River LyS, IS miles southwest of Client,
dates from the Roman times, when it
was called Cortoriacum and afterward
Curtricum, from which the present

government and from that time to the
present 1t has been an important man
ufacturing place.
In 1902 the famous Battle Of the Spurs

gagement the Duke of Artois, brother
Of King Philip the Fair, and high con-
stable of France. was defeated and slain
by a Flemish army consisting chiefly of
weavers from Client and Bruges, under
Duke William Of Juliers and Count John
of Namur. Twelve hundred French
mobiles and thousands Of the Soldiery fell
with their royal commander and more
than TOO Of the gilt spurs worn by the
knights were picked up on the battle
field by the victorS and hung up as
trophies in the convent church Of Gore
nangen, close by, which has since been
destroyed. A small chapel erected a
short distance outside the Client gate
