Editorial Comment
Urban Crime
Detroit Free Press

detroit Free Press
A study of figures for federal and state penal inst;-
tutions. which has been made in Washington, shows that
proportionatey large towns and small cities have higher
commitment ratios than the great metropolitan areas
The ratios for cities of 100000 or more population was
found to be 225 per 100000 of population. while it was
1916 for cities OF from $4,000 to 100000. 25.8 for cities of
from 10000 to 5000 and ga for towns of from $500 to
1000.
Specifically these figures damage tho fairly prevalent
idea that life and property arc safer in our smaller urban
communities than in the larger ones. They make our
sinks OF iniquity. vice and crime" almost blush at their
own comparative virtue. There is. however. danger in
jumping too readily to conclusions from a single set OF
figures. The commitment records Of a city do not neccs-
sarily tell Its whole crime story. The larger the city the
more hiding places 1t contains and consequently the more
unsolved crimes it will have. The police have more to do.
The courts frequently are so orerburdened with work that
resort Is had to every conceivable legal expcdient to
settle cases without trial. and some of those cxpedients
avoid committing confessed criminals to penal intsi-
buttons.
Whether 1t would be far more agreeable to those OF
us who live in cities Of 100000 or more to accept the
implications OF this survey at their face value. We are
con:tantly reminded Of a volume Of crime III our i'm
mediate neighbori,oods that suggests that life and prop
crty would be safer II cur commitment ratios were higher.

Why the Navy Objects

There is so much talk OF naval disarmament these Gay.
that many Americans have grown just a bit impatient
with our naval officers who arc protesting against an,
proposals that would reduce the strength of The Ameri.
can navy.
Their position. however. is not hard to understand
They arc trained for tn. national defense. They know
precisely what its problems arc. They know just what
the value of each cruiser. submarine and hattcst,r
would be in case OF war. And. as Fear Admiral Hug!
Rodman once rcmarkcd-"A sccond-bcst navy is like
a sccond-bcst poker hand
That's the navys viewpoint. and it's not hard to UNI
dcrstand. Doubling the efficacy of any peace program
they want to leave nothing to chance.
In a way. too. they arc right. We sl,an't do anyone
any good by reducing our navy. unless we sec to it. a.
the same time, that our foreign policy is SO handed
that the danger Of war is removed.

Watch Chicago in Congress
ln11,,fh Hereby

Chicago has lost It's water diversion case In the SUI
prerne court. fo- beyond doubt that body will indorsc the
findings of Judge Hughes.
But the lake statcs--and the Mississippi states, too
will need to watch Chicago In congress, which will be the
next battle-ground on this issue.
Chicago cannot hope to get any support anywhere for
Its purpose Of divertine water from Great Lakes channels
to flush its sewage down upon the people who live on
the rivers below 1t.
But Chicago can and docs hope to get support for this
plan by camouflaging it under the pretense that water

Is needed tor navigation In the Lakes-to-Gulf waterway.
There Is good authority-the best. indeed-for the con-
vtction that this Is anything but true.
Certainly q waterway does not need water enough to
make electric power. for that much flow means a swiftel
current than q waterway can comfortably handle.
Chicago wants ten thousand cubic feet per second. and
ultimately the Hughes report cuts its take to fifteen hun.
bred feet.
Engineers have said that that is plenty for navigation
purposes.
But Chicago viii try to convince the Mississippi states
that " needs ten thousand cubic feet for navigation, and
that the lakes states that oppose its unwarrantcd and
unnecessary diversion from channels that are shared by
another country. as well as several states, are opposed

Growth Of Air Lines

During the war, when flying was in its infancy. many
millions were expended in the development of aircraft.
not only for war purposes but with the idea that ulti-
raately air transportation would be taken up by commerce
and industry generally. Millions were wasted, 1t seemed
at the time, but now 1t is seen that the money and effort
we're well spent. Commercial air transportation on a
large scale In the United States is a direct outgrowtn
Of that experimental work.
Ten years after the war finds the nation covered by
= network Of airmail lines, al operating efficiently and
p~rofitably. Other lines are engaged In carrying pas.
sensers and valuable express. Together they form an
important branch Of the national transportation system.
Probably the msst revolutionary and interesting recent
Development In the field Of commercial aviation Is the
coordination Of railroad and air transportation. utilizing
TIE railroads after nightfal and the airplane during the
hours Of daylight. This coordinated long distance trave
hes cut IA half the travelling time between New York and
0an Francisco. That alone guarantees . large public
sdemand Tor the new service.

Not Keepinr In With Tools

It is rather startling-or it would be. if we were no;
pretty we'll used to miraclcs-to read that three men IL
an airplanc. flying over New York City, held a long
distance telephone conversation with officers on board
the L%eviathan, hundreds of miles out at sea.
The wireless telephone is a wonder worker which can
obliterate all barriers Of time and space. When you con-
slider that stunt in all of its implications. man seems to
be a towering giant, ready to take the whole universe
apart and put it together again, more to his liking.
But the inspiration that the stunt brings fades when
you read a report of this telephoned conversation.
The weather, one gathers. was simply fine where the
Lcviathan was. It was also fine up in the clouds over
New York. Everyone was we'll and happy. Everyone
could hear everyone else quite plainly. And that. 1t
develops, was just about all.
Now 1t isn't altogether an accident that the thing turn
ed out that way.
We have invented for ourselves some marvellous tools
but we don't seem to have muc, idea how to use them.
Surely it was hardly worth while to connect a modern
ocean liner with a distant airplanc, by telephone. merely
the weather; not any more than it has been worth while
to develop that other miracle, the talking movie. merely
IN order to see and hear a lot of sccond-ratc music
hall revues.
Our hands, in other words. have worked faster than
our brains. We have contrived a lot of wonderful devices
which we do not quite know how to use. Science is treat
ing us better than we deserve.
It is quite possible that we may talk with Mars one OF
these days: but, II We do, what on earth shall We say?
Will it be anything more profound than information
about the weather and our own health? II not. we might

WHY TEETH CAVITIES

While examining applicants Tor lie
insurance, a large company found
only one perfect set of teeth per 10000
people. This is certainly evidence
that few know how to properly r
for the teeth.
The problem of tooth decay Is
easier to understand than 1t Is to
correct, especially with adults. since
hard or soft teeth are formed during
babyhood and childhood. and the
teeth cannot be made harder after
they have fully developed. Soft
teeth arc as a rule a result of using
a diet that is deficient in calcium
and fluorin up to about the age Of
ten. Mothers can insure better teeth
to their children if they provide them
| with an abundance of food rich IN
these two clements.
The first indications of decay in a
| tooth are usually OH the biting or
| grinding surface. This is because Of
the small bits and impressions In the
teeth where food particles may lodge.
The real cause of the decay seems to
be the acids thrown off by the de-
| velorment of bacteria in these food
! particles. These acid forming BAG
terra work most readily in mediums
containing sugar or starch. The acids
first attack the enamel, and when
this has been dissolved. the hardest
part of the tooth structure has been
broken down. After the ivory-like
enamel has decayed. the soft bone
like dentin can be attacked by the
bacteria. AS a hole is eaten through
| the detin it may W reach the CEN
trail pulp or nerve canal. at which
stage violent toothacnes may appear.
Whenever a tooth shows the first in
dications of decay. the cavity should
be filled while 1t is small before the
nerve is reached.
The accumulation of Starchy food
in the crevices of the teeth could be
largely prevented If we could make a
habit of chewing some hard vegetable.
;such as a raw carrot after eating. or
if we would thoroughly brush and
cleanse the teeth after each meal. 1t
is significant that the front teeth
called the invisors or biters arc not
as subject to decay as often as the
first and second molars. If you ex-
anime your teeth in the mirrow YOU
| will see that the front ones do not
have the same biting surface o. the
! abundance of small crevices as the
back teeth. The teeth should be kept
clean of tartar but if the brushing is
too vigorous some harm may be done
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-01-04

er than a hard one. and the brush
should be thoroughly stcrilizcd every
few days. The teeth should be
, brushed from all directions. especially
up and down and between them. Any
good dentifrice may be used.
It is believed that the teeth may DC
injured indirectly from a saliva that
is deficient in alkaline clements
which retard the growth of the acid
forming bacteria. This condition can
be improved by using an alkaline
forming diet.

We Have Good Cooks, Too

People who have been places and seen things are
fond of saying that the art OF cookery, in the United
States. has fallen upon evil days. Most of our house
wives, they tell us. are bunslers-and our restaurants
are the worst in the world.
Maybe so. But we happen to know a chap who re-

had lived long in Paris. where good cooks go when they

old England. He had tackled the tasty. solid food OF
the Germans, He had dined in Scandinavia, where every
woman is a perfect cook.
And he said that the very incest thing about getting
back to the United States was the fact that he could &c:

Ontario's Supcr-PrisOn

In the province of Ontario there is a prison the like OF
which cannot be found anywhere in the United States.
1t is a prison without any walls or barred windows; a
prison where no guard carries a gun or a club. where any
prisoner could escape at any time simply by walking
away.
It includes in its list OF prisoners some Of Canadas
most dangerous mcn-therc are, for instance. moro
than 100 criminally insane lifcrs kept there.
Yet it is conducted without any trouble. 1t has never
had a riot or anything approaching one. 1t keeps It's
700 convicts and has an average OF only two escapes a
year. Not one of its supposedly desperate lifcrs has
tried to escape.
This contrasts so amazingly with most prisons south
of tho international border-vith Auburn. Dannenora
and Canon City, for instancc-that 1t is worth a good bit
of consideration.
The prison is located at Guelph. and it was instituted
a quarter of a century ago by DR.. Fred Leonard, who had
been warden Of the Ohio State %reformatory but whose
plans for conducting a prison were too ideaistic and
visionary" for the hard-headed Ohioans.
1t is handled along very simple lines.
There are $50 acres of prison land. divided into farms.
diaries and orchards. In addition. there are WOODEN mills,
a canncry. a woodworking factory. a bed factory and a
quarry. all operated by the prisoners.
Thus there is a full-tilnc Job for every man in the
prison. There is no dreary idlcness. Every man is kept
busy. Every man is trusted. Every man has a good
place to sleep and good food to eat.
Every man. in short. is treated as though he we're a
decent human being. And-lct those Americans who
object to the "~coddling' of prisoners c@Jider this
every man responds to this sort of treatment. There are
no riots. There is no discomfort. There arc no morc
escapes than there arc in the average heavily barred
and heavily guarded prison in the United States.
Most important of all, no prisoner staying there comes
to feel that society is his cpprcssor. his enemy.
-IDlre- is a great Lesson III that Ontario prison for tho
authorities south of the border: a lesson for the author
iS..s. and a lesson for the rest of US as we'll.
II you give decent treatment you. will get a decent
response-whcthcr you're dealing with ordinary mortals
or with criminals.
We might try to remember that.
