After Al years of municipal own

city enjoys rates for electric power

paying off all the city's indebted

favorable cash balance in the treas

Other civic benefits, traced dir

THERE'S NO ROMANCE
IN MODERN CRIME

The public is changing its attitude
toward crime and criminals. Largely,
Americans know that there is no romance
in modern crime. They know that GRIM
inals, as usual thing, partake much of
the characteristics of a half-breed rat
and rattlesnake, except that the rattle
snake is no coward, he warns before he
strikes rat will fight if he is corner
ed, and so will the modern criminal.
Otherwise, both prefer to carry on their
depredations only when the odds are ov-
erwhelmingly in favor of their success.
One factor has had as much as any
other to do with growing unpopularity
of criminals The public, like an indi-
vidual, likes to take Sides. Too often, it
has taken the side of the criminal. The
James brothers and other colorful out
laws of the old west caught public fancy
to such an extent that they became al
most heroes in the public eye. All that
has changed.
There was nothing of heroism about
John Dillinger, nor is there trace of
respect due others of his clan. Al Ca
pone, the swart, over-stuffed gang over
lord, doesn't rate very high in the list of
admirable characters. The most fiend-
ish, cowardly crew of them all is made
up Of the kidnapers.
Instead the public has come to know
that the men who deserve sympathy and
help are those who hunt down the ene-
mics of society. They are not playing for
the high stakes that lure the criminal.
They work for wages, and most times the
wages are not very much. Any day, any
hour, they may be called upon to risk
their lives against man who has moth
ing to lose by desperate defense of his
freedom, and everything to gain If he
does win free. The odds are against the
officers of the law, whether they are G.
men or policemen. They must know be-
fore they act that their quarry is a GRIM
inal The criminal knows that every
man is his enemy. The officer cannot
take a chance that he has the wrong man.
Every man is the right man for the
criminal. Usually, the officer is in uni
form, his calling advertised for all to
see. If there is one between hunter and
hunted who must fight against odds, it
is the hunter.
1t has been just another obstacle, in
times past, when the officer found him
self pitted not only against the criminal,
but against public sympathy as we'll.
1t is encouraging that this one obstacle,
at least, has been removed
Control of crime, annually, costs the
American public as much as all the rest
of government duties. The men respon-
sible for this cost are the least desirable
part of society, working in the dark, TAX
ing advantage of every break and refus-
ing to give any break to the public or to
the law. One group of men, the nations
law enforcement officers, is charged
with thinning of the criminal ranks,
stopping the huge losses to the public.
1t is only right that the public should
have the interests of these men at heart,
for those interests are everyone's.

WHICH divides New Orleans, was
packed from side to side with a seeth-
ing live flower garden of costumes.
The real Mardi Gras had begun. and
the town went mad, and we, the
visiting strangers, went mad along
with il.
BY eleven o'clock in the morning,
the homes along St. Charles Avenue
we're crowded with guests, costumed,
some of them masked, the children
darting in and out among their elders
like wild creatures. From the gallery
of the Du Bots house, we looked down
upon the gay crowds which thickened
every moment as new groups arrived
to swell the masses already over
flowing into every yard.
Then came the procession. Rex,
King of the Carnival, high on his
throne, halted his float directly in
front of the Du Bots house, to pay
homage to the daughter who had been
former queen. She stood between her
parents, smiling and waving. A ladder
was brought out, and a retainer
climbed the float, with a glass Of
champagne in his hand. Rex raised the
glass, toasted the family, and then
moved off in a riot of music and
dancing.
And from then on, the day split up
into a kaleidoscope of excitement
which swept me completely off my
feet. At one time / found myself
dancing on truck - truck provided
with its own band, which played gaily
as we literally danced from street to
street in our movable ballroom. At
another time l was feasting in a
sumptuous house in the old quarter -
whose house. had not the remotest
idea. Then suddenly discovered
what carnivals are for.
A tall. masked figure in Venetian
costume appeared at my side. There
was no need to ask what face was
hidden by the mask. His touch on my
arm told me that, and l made no at
tempt to get away. Instead, laughed
up at him and pulled him into snake
dance that was weaving up the street.
chanting an old creole song. 1t was
curious how alone we were in that
mob, yet how completely their crowd
ing presence made us throw aside all
pretense. We loved every unknown,
made so deliciously unknowable by
their quaint DISCUSSES. But our hands
spoke to each other; the glass of wine,
shared, spoke volumes; the singing in
chorus; the rhythm of our bodies in the
dance. The whole world had suddenly
cried, Down with silly man-made
