BOYD CASE DROPPED
State Moves to QuaSh
Radio Fraud Action.

Criminal court trial of Clarence
Boyd, radio dealer, on charges of
conspiracy to commit forgery, was
ended abruptly today when the
state moved to quash the indict-
ment. The case probably will be
laid before Marion county grand
jury for reaction.
Boyd'S trial in criminal court
was the echo of his wife'G testi-
money in a civil case recently in
which she asserted she took the
rap to save her husband. Mrs
Frances Boyd now is an inmate of
the Indiana womans prison.
Boyd was charged with fraud in
financing the sale of radios.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Tho
Wickersham law enforcement COM
mission has been told that the
number of Americans engaged in
gang enterprises has multiplied oy
ten in the last four years, and that
illegal beer manufacture consti-
tuteS the nations largest individual
source of crime.
The group has been told that
there are as many as 100000 per-
SONS connected with bootlegging
and the myriad ''rackets' which
may or may not have sprung there
from.
There likewise has developed the
significant opinion that drinking
of the so-called light" beverages
has provided a greater problem in
criminality than consumption of
1 liquors with high alcoholic content.
My information, which I am as
sured comes from data Of the COM
mission, would tend to indicate that
crime experts ascribe to the sale and
non ripened, quickly fermenting
wines and beers most of the cur
rent overcrowding of prisons, gang
madness and the participation of
extreme youths in unlawful activ-
| tiles.
Incentive to Crime
l was informed the generally held
belief regarding use of strong intox-
icants as an incentive to crime has
been upset by the mass of evidence
collected Systematically by the COM
mittee from penal institutions, crim-
inal courts and federal agencies.
From time to time there have
been reports that the Wickershsm
commission will recommend to con-
gress next month the passage of a.
law extending the amount Of per-
MISSILE alcoholic content so that
per cent beer may be brewed.
Although these reports have re-
ceived no confirmation, my in
formant has provided me with
statements which may have effect
upon the commissions final conclu-
sions. The statements may be sum-
married. as follows:
1t has been found that the large
percentage of arrests in Violation Of
the eighteenth amendment are
among young people who have been
drinking beer, ale and wines.
Beer Mostly Poisonous
The making of these products
may be discovered to be the basic
reason for existence and growth Of
gang life. The traffic in seemingly
mild intoxicants is so great as to
make it appear that they are do
ing more harm generally than
whisky, gin and other strong liquors.
Majority of inmates in the large
penal institutions of the country
are there for commission of crimes
attributable, directly or indirectly,
to the underworld structure raised
by prohibition,
The estimate that 100000 Ameri-
cans were connected with modern-
day gangland was accompanied oy
an estimate that IS per cent Of this
number find their livelihood in beer
racket.
Very little of the beer has been
matured more than a month and
thus the vast portion Of it is poison

Superintendent StetsOn in
Plea for Understanding
by Parents.

One of the greatest crises OF a
child's life is faced in his fifth year
of school, declared Paul G. Stetson,
superintendent of city schools, at
the big meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association of School rs
Wednesday night. This crisis is due
to the fact that the average child
then is entering the period of ado
lescence, changing, physically and
mentally he asserted.
Statistics gathered over a long
period show that this period makes
of breaks" a vast number OF pupils
and parents we're urged to employ
the utmost tact, sympathy and UNI
Outstanding in dealing with the
situation which then arises.
The value of training for the child
before he enters school for the first
time also was stressed by Stetson,
who pointed out that this was the
initial one of the four crises which
a pupil faces in his school life.
Several hundred parents of the
district attended the meeting, work
of the pupils being shown in the
several rooms and booths being es-
tablished in the halls for sale Of a
variety of goods to help the P. z. A.
fund.
Stetson was introduced by Julian
Wetzel, member of the school board.
Work of the traffic patrol was laud-
ed in brief address by Mrs. Her
bert Cummings, head Of School rs

tanned a clear safety record at the

4 Glimpse Into the Future

Each town will have between $4,000 to So
600 people and must lie around the industrial
enterprises Similarly, agricultural towns will
be built around the large state and collective
factories. The existing system of large towns
will, it is thought, decentralize in the near fu-
ture, beginning with Moscow, around which it
is planned to build number of small towns.
As | have already pointed out there will be
no giant structures in the new towns. Soviet
architects are of the opinion that with the
present rate of progress of building technique
it would be ridiculous to put up skyscrapers,
at enormous expense, which would have to be
pulled down again after few years.
The New Town will be little distinguished
from the New Village" All housing will be
externally, both industrial ami agrarian towns
will be much alike. 1t is thought the best
houses will be of the large block type-con-
tanning from one to two thousand persons
Although Standardization will prove neces-
sary factor in this enormous housing construc-
ton work, this does not necessarily mean row
after row of monotonous and tedious barrack-
lite houses. Soviet architects are to take into
consideration that houses are most likely to
undergo changes as living conditions alter
and develop and this will, of course, require
that each house should consist, as much as
possible of standardized parts; but the arch-
tect has been given carte blanche in as far
as his creative fantasy is concerned in Great
ing as many combinations, AMI styles, of these
parts as he can

closely bound up with the events of everyday
life. Lectures are being arranged dealing with
the new type of house and the future aspect
of family and home life. The new education
of children the problem of individual or COM
munal housekeeping, are other topics that are
receiving much discussion and attention.
1t is firmly agreed by all that the new
houses will have to be entirely different from
those of the present day. The New House
will have to serve not the individual but the
Collective 1t has been established that the
preparation of food, even in the far from per-
feet public kitchens that now exist, takes one
sixth of the time that spent by individual
housewives. A similar enormous waste of
time and energy goes on in other branches of
individual housekeeping, care of children,
laundry, etc. The great problem that the
builders of the New House are engaged in is
how to organize life so as to avoid this unpro-
ductive labor.
The education of children also will assume
different aspects in a few years hence. Some
authorities consider that children ought to
live in so-called "hygienic children's towns" of
course, under the observation of their parents.
Together with these, special "school towns"
would be built for the elder children.
Numerous plans and projects are being sub
mitted to the central authorities. The main
lines laid down in the construction of the new
towns that they must consist neither Of
sky-scrapers nor cottages. at is unhealthy
for people to live in close proximity, in COM
parativey small territory. While, on the
other hand, cottages are uneconomic, especial
ly from the point of view of their utility serv-
ice: heating, supplies etc"
