Fighting Crime With Science

Students of criminology say that Europe has succeeded better in curbing crime than the United States because foreign police rely more on science than on third degree methods to trap guilty persons In Vienna plastic process has been devised for reproducing, for evi- dence, tool marks left on window sill, teeth indentations on fruit or other food, auto tracks in the snow or dust, and so on. In France a criminologist has per fected method of detecting the faintest imprint of few pores on criminals finger, less than one-thousandth part of a complete fingerprint.
 Such work is not unknown in America. One of the most familiar instances of ap- plying the scientific method to crime de- lection was the work of the wood expert who studied the ladder used in the Lind bergh Kidnapping. Other work in the analysis of fragments of evidence and Identification of materials, so slight as bit of human hair or thread of cloth, is being done with increasing success. Yet science has not been widely applied in city police departments and has not yet won much confidence in trial courts AS the war on crime gains in intelligent sup port, there will be more O. this sort of thing, with less political interference and less third degree brutality.

Little Parks

Public parks in America are usually rather pretentious, and not valued very highly unless they are large and expen- sive. The park director of Cleveland, an industrial city spread over great many suare miles and densely populated, has different idea. In addition to the big parks he wants to open up small parks at various places around the city, especially in the thickly settled neighborhoods.
 They would be mere breathing places" not for admiration but for use. They would cost little, and might be as small as an ordinary building lot, with just patch of grass and few trees and shrubs and some benches. They would not be equipped for games, but merely for rest, air, sunshine and Sociability. They would be established where people need them most.
 This sort of thing is more common in other countries. It would be sensible in any American city, large or small. The cost would be little, and would probably be repaid in improved neighborhood property values and tax collections. City life would be more healthful and cities would look pleaSanter.

Extension of the National Park system has been demanded for many years past. A new note has just crept into the de- mandS, though. Now the extension is asked to conserve our wild game. Native wild animals in this country are practic- ally extinct save for species that may be seen in ZOOS and other exhibits, say some of the nations leading conservationists That's pretty strong statement to make, but there may be some truth in it. We do know that the frontiers of civilization have penetrated the wilderness and plains homes of our wild life. But we were sort of under the impression that conditions had improved in the last decade and that wild life was on the increase Of course, eastern regions have lost most of the wild life, such as bears, partners, moose, etc. But if they could be preserved in sections where they would not be endangered and endanger themselves the situation would be solved. National parks may be the answer, amplified by state areas.

A Fine Proposal

The idea of the city to acquire land from the Waterbury Buckle Company so that Washington street and Washington avenue may be joined in one straight cross-over at South Main street is deserV- ing of considerable support. Crossing South Main street from one or the other thoroughfare to get to the other one has long been a problem. And today with South Main street traffic as heavy as It is, something radical must be done to correct the condition.
 The city has hit upon the correct solu- lion of the problem. And that is to make the ends of both streets coincide as closely as possible. This could only be done by cutting away part of the Buckle com panv's office building on the southwest ern corner of Washington avenue. That this would demand considerable cooper ation on the part of the manufacturing concern goes without saying. It would probably entail lot of detail work Tn re- moving departments and setting them up elsewhere.
 Saturdays news to the effect that the Buckle Company has bought more land south of it's present plant would seem to indicate that the company is prepared to meet the city halfway. All that would remain is for the city to acquire the nec- essary land and have the engineering work taken care of. Accomplishment ot this project would be marvellous con tribution to the solution of traffic prob lenls in this city. And Waterbury needs to solve good many of them. Nows the time to start working on them.

Real Purpose Of The Law

That the courts may be called upon to define the terms of one provision of the state liquor control act seems certain following the ruling of State Referee Isaac Wolfe last week. His decisions on a Bridgeport and Waterbury case are bound to bring the matter into the courts for final settlement The exact definition of a restaurant under the liquor control act will be sought. AS it stands now it seems able to be interpreted in different ways.
 In the Waterbury appeal the applicant for restaurant permit was denied 1t on the grounds that his establishment did not comply with the necessary require ments However, Judge Wolfe pointed out that the definition of restaurant in the statute was in itself ambiguous and uncertain. All of which is certainly no credit to the legislative judiciary com mittee. We believe that the section 1n question was one of those changed at this years session of the General As Sembly.
 An early interpretation of the same by the courts should be had so that any 1n- justices that may have been caused throughout the state in denying and issu- ing restaurant permits may be corrected. We do not look however, for broaden ing of the terms of the statute that will permit almost every establishment that boasts a front door to be considered restaurant. The law did try to define what should be considered restaurant. If it failed to do so clearly, then by all means clarify the wording but stick to the idea underlying the restrictions.

Many Connecticut industries are going to profit by the recent trade treaty com pleted by the United States and Canada. Waterbury will be among the several in- dustrial 'centers that should feel the ef- fects of this agreement. Only in one re- spect may there be cause for complaint in this state. Typewriters, one of our principal manufactures, still are subject to 25 per cent ad valorem duty. This is due to the fact that an agreement exists between Great Britain and Canada whereby the former can send typewriters into Canada free of duty. However, there is wide range of goods made in Connec- ticut that is affected by the treaty.

Precious Metals

With nearly all the nations off the gold Basis, and now with China going off silver and locking it up, it begins to look pretty bad for the precious metals" used for money since the beginning of civiliza- tion. Talk of a general return to gold by international agreement has died down lately. Half the worlds monetary gold has flowed into the United States Treas ury, and the flood still continues coming, but arouses less enthusiasm here and apparently less worry abroad. Foreign countries seem to be getting the habit of using managed currency" for a medium of exchange. Uncle Sam, with his Treasury vaults jammed with gold, has taken to burying it in the ground.
 Is it possible that gold and silver, for which so many millions of men have fought and bled and died through the ages, will end in the ground where it came from, while mankind devises some other medium of exchange? However, that may be, the precious" metals are no longer the traditional ones. Platinum and several other rare metals are more valuable today. Such common metals as iron, brass and tin have long been more vital to civilization. Aluminium, chrom- ium, magnesium and other new indus trial metals grow steadily more impor- tant.

do we issue stamps to celebrate their crimes, nor do we recall them fro<l exile to help us win 1936 elec- tions.
 To sum it all up for you, MT. Harris, the system which you de- fend, to which you are so devoted is synonymous of everything that's rotten and crooked from the bottom up. This is the common knowledge of every being from the Atlantic to the Pacific. There is no need to substantiate 1t.
 First, begin right at home, MT. Harris in this little city of Water bury. Stroll down the street some- time, MT. Harris, and ask anybody what they think of it all, what they think of your mayors, your tax col- lectors, and your everybody else. the entire city administration. YouH learn a truth that'll make your ears blush red with shame.
 And amidst all this corruption and filth, MT. Harris, the record of the communist party, a criminal or- ganization to you, stands clean and undef1led. As @ member of that party I challenge the slanderous contention you tried to pass of on young impressionable minds.
 If there is anything outstanding in the character of Charles Camp bell it is his inflexible honesty, a rare virtue MT. Harris If you look closely about you, a quality not apt to lead one to fraternize with crim- inals and a lot of other people equally undesirable.
 And in conclusion one last point. The communist party makes no false promises. The program of the communist party is based on the es- sential needs of the people. A study of our record MT. Harris will yield plenty to show you that we are the most courageous and effective fight- CTS for the demands of the people: against war, against fascism, for higher relief and higher wages, and for the betterment of humanity. A pretty queer record for criminals, don't you think, MT. Harris?
 And to put a question to you, MT. i Harris. Since when has it become criminal to demand g decent stail- dard of living? DO you, MT. Harris, as head of the Mutual Aid approve of the existing misery which you see every day under your very nose? Can 1t be possible that you, social benefactor, consider those people who seek relief from you, and who of necessity must be discontented. that they are nothing more than criminals or would be criminals whom you are rescuing from the gallows.
 MT. Harris, neither I nor anyone else in the communist party is able | to fulfill the requisites alluded to in your petty islander. And so all this became necessary to dispell the very incorrect impression made by your fond illusions.
 Signed,

Selected Poem
CRICKET

CRICKET Eleanor Alletta Chaffee in the New York Times) Such shining armor shields so small a heart That it must be surm;sed, not being seen Of what strange universe is he part That climbing up this stalk of yielding green, Some shadowy fear bids him to pause and be So still he is invisible? What peril lies About so frail traveller as he Who with most valiant effort can but rise A hands breadth from the groundP Now all is
 well; His rusty fiddle scrapes it's tiny tune, Making lovelinesS of summers knell, Fashioning music of forgotten June.

MIR. RUSSO THINKS M. HARRIS HAS WRONG SLANT ON COMMUNIST PARTY
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Nov. 24, 1885.
litor of The Democrat

Editor of The Democrat:
 Once more the eminent MT. Har- ris of the Mutual Aid Welfare rem ders social service to the people of Waterbury. This time in the role of educator and sociological prodigy. Wednesday he had the rare oppor- tunity to present his case before the youth of Mattatuck College. His address dealt with penology, and criminals. His treatment of the sub- ject was very curious at certain points for its psychological implica- tions and unscientific character.
 MT. Harris has thorn in his side that has bothered him considerably. And this thorn is none other than Charles W. Campbell of the conn- munist party. MT. Harris has had unpleasant experiences in which Mir. Campbell played no small part.
 Charles Campbell is wont to show considerable energy and courage on the question of securing genuine and adequate relief for the people of this city. MT. Harris being on the other side of the fence does not relish the idea. So MT. Harris very conveniently, with unctuous venom disposes of Charles w. Campbell in @ manner ridiculous, stupid and un- believable from 8 highly touted in- telligence.
 The great benefactor intimates to his own satisfaction that MT. Camp bells associates are recruited from the ranks of criminals and jailbirds gone sour under system which the enlightened MT. Harris hopes will be corrected and so suppose stop the rising tide of discontent.
 If MT. Harris were really inter- ested in improving the social sys- tenn he need only look about him. self to discover the true responsible criminals. They flourish right under his very nose and come right from his own ranks.

Down in the fastnesses of North Caro- lima there is forgotten village. Forty years ago it was a thriving little com munity. It was the center of the mill stone industry of the state. Today the place lies in ruins and nobody seems to know what happened or where the in- habitants drifted to. But there it stands slowly mouldering away. Perhaps it, too, was once the fairest village of the plain.
