Among the other entertain

book is one by DR.. William John
Cooper, professor of education
in George washington Univer-

and another by DR.. William G.
Carr, director of research Of the

telling all about the sources
from which the public schools
derive their support.

In his outline of "The Fed

Strayer, professor of education
at Teachers College, Columbia
University, in the city of New
York, says:
"The founders of the Repub.
lie were quite clear with respect
to the responsibility OF the Fed

velOpment of a system of edu.

His quotations from washing

other trainers Of the Constitu"
ton, completely corroborate this
assertion.
The seal of the Roosevelt
administrations approval on
this entertaining volume logi-
cally comes from the Secretary
of the Interior in the Roosevelt
Cabinet. The concluding chap
ter by Secretary Ickes contains
this warning to those politicians
who are so largely to blame for
the desperate plight of public
education in this country today:
"Our schools ought to be the
last to feel the pinch of econ

experience the return of pros

purpose Of economy and it is

not.

MARRY-GO-ROUND

From childhood, a woman
is always consciously or sub"
consciously thinking of the
man she's going to get, the
man she's got, the man she
didn't get-or the man who
happens to be present at the
moment. But there are eight
or ten hours a day when a
mans mind is as free from
any thoughts of a woman as
it is from thoughts of murder
or the Einstein theory. He can
: look straight through the pref
tiest girl in the office as
though she were cellophane
and see nothing but a stock
ticker or a bill-of sale.
If men weren't like that, no
married woman would ever have
a moments peace of mind! Yet
a bride can't understand how or
why man simply must escape
from the feminine influence for
part of the day.
To almost any normal woman,
the whole business of life is
LOVE. She may go through
the motions of building a career,
working in an office or running
a tea-room; but only a small
portion of her heart is in it.
And when love goes blah, she
discovers that she is only mark
ing time. But. to a man, love
is only the business of his leisure.
And he seldom "sees a dream
walking" until he has locked his
office desk.
, Another mistake which a
' woman makes, in the first year
of marriage, is that of regarding
a man as an ADULT, as reSpon-
Sible as herself. Whereas, few
men ever develop emotionally

our crime fiction 10 no more
lurid than London's. IN fact,
the English writer's of murder
fiction have no equal anywhere
in the world. Also the criminal
trials of London are reported
in the press, just as fully as
are those Of our cities, and I
doubt that it is much more
difficult to obtain firearms
there than it is here.
England has few murders,
primarily because the hang
mans moose is something more
than a symbol. The murderer
over there, be he peer of the
realm or woman with child,
knows we'll before hand that
the path leads straight to the
galloWs.
Chief Reason
Many persons, including Dr..
Hoffman, are opposed to the
death penalty and, in support
of their argument that it is
not a deterrent, they point to
the low percentage of hoIni-
cides in Holland and Denmark,
where the law is not a life for
a life. But none, it seems, can
dispute the fact that wide
gulf between crime and punish
ment in the United States is
the chief reason for our high
murder rate.
It does seem that at last
we have awakened to the sltu-
alton. Indeed, if it had not
been for the activity Of the
Federal Government in the past
year in the cases of Machine
gun Kelly, Verne Sankey,
Bailey and Dillinger, we were
sure to have had a popular out
burst against both the present
criminal statutes and the
methods of enforcing them.

In the city of London the
chances of a person being muir"
dered are one in three hun
dred and thirty thousand,
whereas in these good old
United States the chances SIM
mer down to one in a mere ten
thousand. Such are not only
the facts, but also they are
the cold stark figures put be-
fore our eyes by Lord Tren-
chard, Commissioner of Metro
politan Police of England's
capital, and by DR.. Frederick
L. Hoffman, American Statis-
tician.
Coming down to a closer
analysis, we have his lordship's
official statement that last year
in London there were twenty
one murders. The latest avail
able figures for New York show
in the year 1882 a figure of
$50 homicides.
And it must be noted, too,
that New York is not the "kill-
INCEST" city in the United
States. She is outstripped, in
ratio of murders to population,
by a dozen other communities.
Appalling Rate
DR.. Hoffman, writing in the
insurance magazine, 1.-THE Spec
tator," reports that bloodlust
on the part of countless num-
The Washington times., 1934-05-18

bers of men and women in
the country is reaching un-
heard of proportions.
His records from thirty-one
American cities, for which he
has returns since 1900, show
that the rate of homicides has
more than doubled in those
thirty-three years. Whereas in
1900 five persons out of every
100000 in the United States
each year met violent death at
the hands of another, today the
number is close to eleven per
hundred thousand.
DR.. Hoffman deduces that
murder more than ever is be-
coming an ingenious art, if
not a trade, in this country"
For these conditions he blames
the unrestricted sale of fire
arms, crime fiction, lurid
criminal trials and, as he said
in a previous report, the fact
that ."crime and punishment
often lie far apart, leaving no
other conclusion than that our
crime detection agencies are in
efficient, helpless or corrupt to
a degree that should startle an
apathetic public"
For my part, I will take the
doctors conclusion before his
other reasons for this appall-
ing state of affairs. Certainly

In view of his support Of the

The President asked Stephens
to confirm Thorp. He did not
demand his acceptance, as has

should be. He was a professor

business training consisted Of

World War.
In his list of original indors-
ers only one business firm was
listed. Later, a few more busi-

approving his selection but
some of them withdraw their
names.
Thorp, to Stephens, was an
economist and was supported
by economists, statisticians, pro-
fessors and the like, including
one Rexford G.. Tugwell.
Thorp was just one too many
theorists for Stephens to add

Early in 1912 P. A. S. Frank
lin, president of the White Star
Line, came to washington to
testify before a special Senate
Committee relative to one of
the greatest marine disasters
of all time-that of the tragic
sinking of the Titanic.
William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, was chairman of the
committee. and as such pro-
pounded two odd questions.
He asked a witness what is
an iceberg?" Later, he asked
"why passengers had not been
put in water-tight compart-
ments (sections of the ship
to prevent them from drown"
ing"
Recently P. A. S. Franklin
again appeared before a special
Senate Committee in the in
terests of marine affairs. It
was the special Senate COM
mittee investigating air and
ocean mail.
Senator Hugo Black, of Ala
bama, was chairman and for
Franklin it must have seemed
like time turned back.
Genial George Norris, Of
Nebraska, is adding another
furrow to the wrinkled brows
of Democratic leaders.
Having supported Roosevelt
in his campaign for the Presl-
dency, Norris was given that
which he had lived years to
behold-the enactment of Mus
Gle Shoals and Tennessee Valley
Authority legislation.
The realization of a part Of
his life's ambition pleased
George. Not only pleased but
it placated him.
Administration measures were
sent to Congress. They gave
new powers to the President.
Their changes in the established
order of government were con-
sidered dangerous by many.
Ordinarily, Norris would have
jumped on them with both
feet and clawed like a cornerel.
cat.
The Tennessee Valley Au-
thority was in operation, how
ever, and George hoped that
similar legislation would be en-
acted to defeat his arch enemy
the power trust. He wanted
legislation similar to that en-
acted for Muscle Shoals to be
passed so as to set in opera
ton Government controlled
power plants along the Mis-
souri, River.
Administration leaders were
pleased at the docility of a man
recognized as an important fac
tor in the Senate. For them it
was far better to have Georges
mouth closed than open.
Norris, however. reached his
limit. His lips would remain
shut no longer and he opened
up on the Home Loan Corpora
tion bill recently before the
Senate.
He decried partisan appoint
ments and said that sooner or
later the President would be
forced to answer the charge
that:
ellis party has organized a
corrupt machine and sacrificed
the poor of our country for the
sake of building up a political
machine!"
