Only Answer to Crime

Almost the only bright spot in Americas crime situation is
the splendid work of the Federal Secret Service hunting down

They don't lay off, their quarry the behest of

They don't leave him alone because he has money pull

him Federal Cour-where the Judge the
thumb big shot, and where the criminal be tried
promptly sentenced promptly and packed off to Federal
prison promptly
And the criminal is in Federal prison. he cannot be
pardoned by potica governor turned loose by
State parole board.
Witness Mr. Aphonse Capone formerly of Chicago Of
Alcatraz.
The only way therefore, to combat crime successfully in
this country INCREASE the Federal Secret Service and
WIDEN it's powers.
It is the only agency that business.
It is the only agency free from political corruption and

is the only agency that clean up only the crooks

politicians who shelter them.
State and city police forces will that alone

They work with the Federal authorities the

Thus the first duty the National Conference Crime which

That will bring results. Nothing else will.

show, we are so apt to say:
But we must make allowances
for these poor people: they
couldn't know any better" That
is just where the trouble came
in. 1t was their job to know
better.
RIGHT AND FIT
When a ship runs on the
rocks nobody blames the poor
stoker who is working in the
fire hole. When a train is de-
rallied it is not the Pullman port
er who is blamed. In both cases
there was an expert present who
was supposed to look after the
job. And so the captain gets
cashiered or the man in the sig
nal house goes to Jail, and no.
body feels unduly sorry for him.
That is only right and fit, and
such punishments are merely
what an ancient monarch, with
a sense of proportion, once
called the dangers of the job"
I, therefore, find it as diff
cult as ever to feel any SYM
pathy for the Hoovers, Cool
idges and Hardings and all the
others who were in high COM
mand during the years follow
ing on the great war. If they
didn't realize what was coming
it merely shows that they were
as unfit for the high offices
they were holding as the cap
tain of a ship who in plain day.
light would put his ship on the
marshes of Jersey.
God knows I am a peaceful
man and totally averse to vio-
lence. I wish all these bunglers
a comparatively happy and ripe
old age. But from the historical
point of view they belong with
the young English duke who
couldn't enjoy his glass of
sherry because they had fired
his pastry cook, or with the
king of France with his two
thousand flunkieS who couldn't
dine off a round table. They
belong nowhere at all.

of about half a million pounds.
When this amount had grown
and grown until it had reached
the sum of minus 100000
pounds, the creditors reluctantly
decided to act and try to come
to some sort of an arrangement
by which they would at least
receive one-half a penny out OF
every hundred due them. And
so they called together a COM
mission of inquiry.
The commission commissioned
in the Well-knoWn fashion OF all
commissions, and came to the
conclusion that a certain amount
of money might be saved if
his serene highness dispensed
with a few of his 1873 servants.
The first one whom they con-
sidered for instant dismissal was
his serene highneSs' italian pas

the good duke, who in great and
honest indignation exclaimed,
my God, can't man even have
a biscuit with his Sherry!"
ANOTHER STORY
There is another story which
comes to my mind, an episode
which took place during the
first half of the nineteenth cen
tury. Members of the houses
of Bourbon and Orleans were
succeeding each other so rapidly
that it was hard to keep count
of them, but 1 think it was
either Skinny Charles or Fat
Louis, who after a short period
of incredible stupidities found
themselves out of a job and be-
ing chased toward the British
Channel. For England didn't
believe in revolution and was
willing to give hospitality to
any and all victims of popular
violence, no matter how thor
oughly they might despise these
fugitives for their personal
habits.
Well, then, the royal majestieS
and the royal counts had been
riding for their life all day long,
with the enraged revolutioniSts
lickety-Split behind them. Tired
out and deadly faint with hun
ger, they at last reached a castle
where they might expect a mod
est dish Of SuStenance.
They were in a dreadful hurry,

sells unless they were sold as a
whole.
Consequently. only large CON-
panieS could buy the DeSSelS,
and those ships 1Oere sold to
be Scrapped.
And Japan bought the scrap.
In the event that the London
treaty negOtia tiOns cannot be
made and it is decided to pur-
sue the warned-Of naval race,
the American Government would
be in a much better position,
observers say, if they had not
permitted the sales of iron and
steel scrap to Japan.

The Cherokee Strip
BIZ Frank Sullivan

The Cherokee Strip is to be
introduced in Congress at the
coming session for the first time
in many years. The Cherokee
Strip is not a dance nor form
of poker. When one party
elects so many members that
there is not room for all of
them on their proper side of
the chamber the overflow is
accommodated in seats on the op-
position side and the encroach-
ment is called the Cherokee
Strip. I would explain why it
is called the Cherokee Strip if
I had not lost the newspaper
clipping explaining why it is
called the Cherokee Strip. 1t
had something to do with
Cherokees, I think.
The Cherokee Strip will ac-
commodate the members of the
Congress until the next elec-
ton, when another seating ar
rangement will probably have
to be made, in which the Demo-
Gratis will need the entire floor
of the House while the Repub-
licanS will be seated in the
Smithsonian Institution, in the
small cloakroom near the main
entrance.
In the election following that
election still another adjust
ment will have to be made, but
this one will be simpler. The
New Dealers will take over the
small cloak-room in the Smith
Sonian Institution, in addition
to the entire floor of the House.
and the sole Republican then
remaining will be stuffed and
moved up to the main exhibi-
ton hall of the museum, along
side the first telegraph, the
first submarine, the authors of
technocracy (alSo Stuffed) and
the petrified section of the
California redwood trunk.
It seems too bad that steps
cannot be taken to prevent the
disappearance of such an inter-
esting and characteristic fea-
ture of American life as the
Republican. 1t will be a pity
to sit by and watch him go
the way of the bison and not be
able to do anything about it.
We Americans never seem to
learn. When the bison was
becoming extinct everybody
knew about it but nobody did
a thing. Now that the bison

make a speech since Ills arrival
in 1881.
There are some indications at
the present time that after his
maiden career he will loosen up
and spill a few wisecracks.
The Senator, on his recent
return to toWn, called on Col.
Ed1Oin A. HalSey, Senate Secre-
tGry, to pay his respects. He
seemed to deriUe much amuSe-
mlent about the necessity of
changing the Senate seating
arrangement because of the
overwhelming number OF Demo-
Gratis UhO will attend the nert
session.
He announced:
"Whatever you do with the
seating arrangement is your
business. But remember my
seat is right next to the spit
tOOn. Don't move my chair.
1T would ruin me-"
One of the customary prac-
ticeS at the Capitol is to secure
biographies from newly elected
members of Congress. for the
Congressional Directory.
Some OF the documents re-
turned by memberS-elect are
UOluminOuS, Uhile others are
brief. Some contain interesting
facts of cdreerS-otherS are er-
ceedingly dry.
Not long ago, Sherman Min
ton, Democratic Senator elect
from Indiana, was requested to
submit a biography.
One line of his reply read:

SOnality."

Yet, at g., once more the be
loved toast of America. How
did she do it? She tells in that
story
SHE DID 1T BY ALWAYS
BELIEVING IN HERSELF AND
HER RIGHT TO HAPPINESS.
Not just a legal RIGHT-a
BIRTH RIGHT. Always she be-
lieved that she was MEANT to
have a grand time-and give it
to others.
Poverty? Heartbreak? Years?
These were accidents. They
had, she felt, nothing to do with
the natural scheme of things.

WOMAN WASN'T DOWN AND

SHE WAS. And Marie Dressler

cried.
Il, who know, tell you that life
can begin at 50-at so. It can
begin the day before you die,
if on that day you learn some
thing that gives you a fresh
vision Of beauty or service"
A FULL LIFE
And then there's this, that
every discouraged woman over
40 should be forced to read:
1T makes me positively ill to
see you women who have raised
your children settle back and
fold your hands in your empty
laps. Instead of thinking that
the world has ended for you,
you should feel that it is be-
ginning.
Not every m d d ! e-ag d
woman can fill her life with act
ing or music. but she can fill
it with something absorbing and
vitalizing if she tries hard
enough"
Fill your life with-SOME-
THING! If you can't write a
best seller-cook the best sponge
cake, plant the best tulips, be
the best listener. the gayeSt
giver, the grandest human on
the block.
Believe in yourself. Believe
you're a WOW. Believe that
nothing can lick you. AND
NOTHING CAN!

so, believe it or not, the royal
flunkies wasted a precious hour
while saving a piece off that

an oval one. Then at last it was
possible for the king to sit down
