more pathetic than ever. me

became confding. You know,
he said. Il don't drink bee! OFTEN.
Melvina doesn't like it. She's as
much against beer as she is
against whisky and hard liquor.
Strong drink is what she calls
them and they're all the same TO
her. OF course, in a way she's
right. | don't hold that a man
should make a slave Of himself
TO alcohol. No sir! But a glass
of beer now and then-well. l
don't see that it does much harm
and it certainly tastes mighty
good! Mighty good"
Once more he raised the glass
to his lips and drank. Bannister
remembered what Mrs. kcnneDec
had said about Melvina HOllister
managing her own and her
brothers joint income. Was II
possible Melvina's hold On the
nurse strings was so close that 4
10-cent glass Of beer was. for her
brother, a rare treat? 1t didn't
seem possible.
Matthew was enjoying his beer
nevertheless. He set the glass
down, rested his arms on the
table, and leaned toward Bannis'
ter. I'm glad met you this
afternoon, Mr.. Bannister.' he
said. There a"e some things
want to talk to you about. Are
you a detectivc?"
Bannister fastened to explain
that, strictly speaking, ne was
not. He was working on the King
murder case, however, making a
sort of private investigation.

"Is it something about the King

Boston, Jan 9-Striklng evidence of tho benefits derived from the recreational industry by typical northern New England community Is contained In q survey complet- cd at Dartmouth college by A. l. O Brien, at the suggestion of and In cooperation with the Now Eng land Council, all-New England de- velopment organization, 1t was an- nounced at council headquarters here to-day.
 "The results of thls survey show graphically the business values of recruational development In Now England" declared Dudley Har- mon, executive vice. president of the council, In making public the results of MT O'Brien's study.
 "rhe fact that population and standards of living In tho typical community studied have risen while both manufacturing and az. rieulture have dropped off, proves conclusively tho economic value of the natural recrcatlonal assets of New England upon which our New England communities can capital i&ts Au EGSVBuAttVh VI eAas' VfFSs tunity, tho New England Council Is conducting It's second annual all.

 In the community chosen for thu research study by MT O'Brien, the population and standards of living have risen oonspicuously since 1920 although manufacturing and agriculture, formerly the towns chief sources of livelihood, have both declined steadily since the early years of tho century, the survey shows. Industries have de- creased in number from 13 to 1908 to seven, and while manufacturing gave employment to more than 800 In 1908, in 1928 less than 200 were so employed. Since 1900, sheep and cattle raising have been aban-

 to society prepared to take his
 rightful place.
 Dr Davis who was the chairman of the legislative committee on jails whose report will be acted on by the present legislature referred
 bI , i1y to the major recommends tlons of this report which are: l.
 That a Central state farm should
 be used for convicted prisoners in place of tho ten county jails and
 that the county jails should be
 used merely to detain persons awaiting trial. 2. That R much
 wider use of probation should be
 made and that fines would often serve the purpose of society better than a short jail sentence, Accord ing to Professor Davis about 25 per cent of our convicted criminals
 are mentally defective and about 50 per cent aro victims of bad habits and an unwholesome en- vironment.

Traurlg in an address delivered at the January meeting of the Water- bury Bar Association nt the Hotel Waterbury this noon. Subjects con- sldered by the council and con- tained in Attorney Traurig's re- sume included business manage ment, jurors, district court bill, de- lays in waiting for trial, co-ordi- nance of common please courts and committees on professional ethics,

An annual crime bill from three to fivo billion dollars Is the penalty which tho United States pays for having the worst criminal record in the world, according to Profess sor Jerome Davis of Yale Unlver- sity who spoke at the forum at tho Central YMCA yesterday afternoon. For example, In m average year there are twenty-two times as many crimes In Now York as In London. In Chicago between 1914 and 1919 there were more murders than in all England, To some ex- tent our lawlessness may be attri- buted to the fact that America Is Il Pioneer country, and that we have built up the idea that each man stands or falls on his own merits. Furthermore, Puritanism and q tendency to make too many laws has been another reason for our disregard of law.
 There are three theories of pun lshment which have been followed. The first is that of retribution, m eye for an eye, for example. Pros lessor Davis expressed tho opin- ion that the notorious Burns case Is a fragrant example of state seeking retribution rather than jus tice. The second theory Is that the offender should be isolated for the protection of society. This theory makes "ropeaters" of many crim- inals because nothing Is dono dur Ing tho term in jail to remedy tho defect which caused tho crime. The third theory of punishment is that of reformation which seeks to

doned, and fruit growing has shown a steady decline.
 Until 1920, the population of this community also decreased, along with industry and farming, drop ping from 1900 to l,42S in 1920. In 1880, however, tho population had again risen to 1,600. During tho period 1920 to 1880. also, standards of living In the com. munity us indicated by telephones, automobiles, bank deposits, ana high school enrollmcnt rose at q faster rato than was shown by the state as a whole. The rate of in- crease for telephones was 45 per cent higher than for the state; for automobiles registered, 100 per cent higher. Between 1920 and 1925. bank deposits increased more rapidly than in tho state us u whole. Enrolment In tho high school was two and one-half times as great in 1880 as In 1928.
 This amazing rise in population and prosperity ut tho samo time as the decline of manufacturing and agriculture was entirely caused by tho influx of summer residents dUu NieltoTbt tUc Htuuy PVAhto Ott' Located in attractive hill country, near a good sized lake, this com. munity presents many desirable beatures to summer vacationists, but because of its former relative inaccessibility, no great growth in recreational business occurred un' til the town was reached by a trunk-line state highway and other roads In the vicinity were im- proved. Since then, cottages, hotels, and resta urants have been built to meet demand, and grocery and general stores have doubled iD number.

 In relation to business manage ment, the council recommended n thorough re-orga nixation of the business management of cost of judicial administration, Many sug- gestlons for reducing the cost arc contained In the report, such as printing of dockets, unnecessary number of sheriffs in court att tendance, travelling fees of jurors
 Under the subject of jurors. the councils recommendation that tho number of Jurors in a panel be rec duced from 12 to nlne met with considerable comment throughout tho state. It pointed tut In tho re- port that the fees and expenses of jurors in superior and common pleas courts of the state for the fiscal year ending in June 1881, amounted to more than $l20,0 0OO, With nine jurors, the report states, the cost could be reduced S20,00O yearly. Unfortunately, MT Traurig pointed out such a change would require constitutional amend ment,
 The council approves the princi- pie of the district court bill sub- mltted to the last legislature, which recommends that the district court supplant all our courts below the superior court, common pleas, town city and borough and Justices of the peace for both civil and crim- inal business, There would then be thrco courts, the supreme court, superior court and district court,

 It is believed that tho growth and prosperity that have come to this community through recrea- tional development are typical of scores of other New England towns and villages, and more than justify tho council and varied busl- ness interests In spending substan. tial sums for advertising to attract additional summer residents and visitors.
