Washington. July l6.-Hcrc III
Washington we don't feel quite as
pure as we did. The mantle Of virtue
and self Righteousness which we may
have been wearing these last few
years for the benefit Of the rest of
the country appears to have slipped
The new chief of police, Major
Henry G.. Pratt. has been mean
enough to disclose the figures OF,
Washington crime for a period Of five
years and we don't seem to be show
ing any improvement whatever.
Local cops made 122 900 arrests last
year. which outdistanced all previous
records, and the total number Of ar
rests for five years was 100000, which
is just about 80 per cent Of the cap
itals population.
That does not mean that 80 per cent
Of WaShingtonians have been ar
rested within that time. of course.
One can think Of quite a few friends
and acquaintances whose names
haven't appeared on the police blot
ter. But It must mean that others
have been arrested all too often.
Enforcement May Be sStricter
One way to regard these sad figures
Is to assume that Washington is be-
coming and more wicked.
Another way Is to suggest that laws
are being more effectively enforced
and that crimes and misdemeanors
are more difficult to commit without
paying the penalty.
In the latter case it is obvious that
Washingtonians are gluttons for pun
ishnnent.
The facts become all the sadder as
one considers just what sort of a city
Washington is. In the first place, the
President himself is virtually the
mayor. It is he who appoints the
three commissioners who govern the
District Of Columbia and it is to him
that these three are responsible. Mr.
Coolidge. incidentally. and not Mr.
Hoover. has been mayor for the
f~ive-year period.

meant it. Thank you. Colin. 1t will
be easier now to tell you about my
self, or rather, about my two selves:

the that is Just beginning to

And she did tell him. poured it out
upon him in an eager flood. Ome
times bitterly, sometimes with the
saving grace Of hunlor. She made him
see the shy child she had been. striv-
ing with such pathetic eagerness and
SO biunderingly to be like other chill
dren-or rather. as she thought other
and prettier girls were. Told him. as
frankly and unashamed as if she had
been speaking of another person. how
the old Crystal had behaved-over-
painting her face. fluttering her eye
lashes and hands. initiating popular
girls. fancying herself in love with
any boy who asked her for a second
date, mentally preparing the wedding
announcement if he asked for a third.
Told him. too. how shy and sick-at-
heart that old Crystal had been. And
then she told him about Pablo Men,
doza. and the false romance she had
woven about him until real romance
had brought her to the verge of in
sanity. Told him how. in her en-
tremity. she had kidnapped herself,
sparing nc detail of the ransom letter.
Of her lonely Standardization in
the. shack in the woods. of her self
%wOundlng and of her rescue by Harry
Blaine. And then she told him how,
after she had lain at the point of
death in the hospital. she had been
born again. had discovered the
heaven of BE Yourself"
So Colin Grant drew a deep
breath, that's what is behind that
picture Crystal that the Pruitt chap
painted. | wondered. when I saw it.
how any grown-up girl could look so
well. SO icy and untouched and yet
so purified by fire as that girl in the
