CRIMES ROOTS

EOR years penologstS have damned the Ameri-
can attitude toward crime and criminals as
mixture of rage sentimentalty and medevalism.
Inc, to bulwark this damnation with facts reveal
ing our penal system as almost an utter failure.
In the 10 years between 1924 and 1884 the prison
population of the United States increased lust 100
per cent, says the associations report There are
10000 persons now in American prisons and re-
formatories. The annual crime bill is around IA
billions or about one-quarter of the national income
The indictment is long and bitter Prisons be-
come schools for crime as the result of overcrowd-
ing and idleness due to "the devastating effect of
the Hawes-Cooper Act" aimed at prison industries
Only few Substantially New Hampshire and Vir-
ginia-are providing well-rounded prison industrial
programs Only few honest attempts" are being
made to develop educational programs looking to re-
haoiltatlon of inmates On the other hand, crime
is sensationalzed by such morbid scenes as public
hanging, certain wardens herding of prisoners to
witness gas chamber execution, Gov. Talmadges
glorif1cation of the chan-gang SYSTEM Roman holi-
days like the Hauptn1ann trial and execution
Crime is not an isolated problem that can be
fenced OFF by prison walls crushed by whipping
posts, executions, chain gangs or exraegal bruta-
ties, 1t has its roots in sums hobo junges ure-
ployment, poverty ignorance disease, broken
homes and the unholy alliance between politics and
law enforcement.
The new penology will not only turn our great
penal institutions into real -eformatories it will
also seek to remove crimes incubation places.

This is the last of the series of
l. articles on diet which I have
written for about the last four
months. The knowledge obtained
from these articles should enable
you to avoid deficiencies in your
diet and obtain from your food the
maximum benefits for health and
for growth.
There is a great difference be-
tween just living satisfactorily, and
having the exuberant, buoyant feel
ing that comes with perfect con-
dition of tissues and excellent nu-
triton.
Perhaps the most significant of
all information offered in this series
of articles is that concerning the
protective foods, such as milk,
fruits, vegetables, eggs. cod liver oil,
liver, lambs kidneys, and similar
substances, which are essential in
providing the diet with necessary
vitamins and mineral salts. These
are likely to be taken in insufficient
amounts if one SubsiSts largely on
the meat, potatoes, vegetables and
bread of a previous generation.
Dietary authorities recommend
that at least half of the total in
take of food consist of the protec-
tive foods. They suggest that at
least as much money be spent for
milk, cream, and cheese as for
meats, fish and poultry, and at least
half as much be spent for fruits
and vegetables as for meats of all
kinds.
y n
THE essentials of well-balanced
L diet are those which provide, in
the words of an authority, 1.-TWO or
more liberal servings of fruits each
day; two or more servings of veg
etableS daily, of which one should
be a green or yellow vegetable, if
desired, such equivalents as canned
milk, milk powder, cheese, and
cream, and an average of four or
five eggs a week, more or less, de-
pending on how well eggs agree,
and their price"

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

CTORIES about vice rings in New York City are
~ disquieting. Not only because investigation has
barred sinister rackets with unspeakable moral evils
but because we are told that respectable married
woplen would be llred by taxi drivers and profess
sional procurers to participate quiet little poker
game at some club
From these quiet little poker games it seems the
victims speedily went down the road to prostitu-
ton. e..
But isn't there something sadly wrong in
country where respectable married women are so
eager to gamble that they be lured to their
destruction by strange taxi drivers? Perhaps all
this is clear to New Workers. but to those whose lives
are set in less exciting places it is puzzling.
We admit, of course, that the desire Ito take
chance" is inherent in most of and amounts to
a passionate urge in many 1t is apparent, never
theess that Americans ought to call halt on
their unbridled lust for this sport. Gambling is so
often the first step in a Of crime Thousands
of young who might have been useful citizens
lead amless, even dangerous lives because they were
attacked early with the virus of speculation.
The professionals have their counterparts in
every corner of the country. Scores of other re-

land might not listen to taxi drivers urging little
poker games OH them, but they do neglect their

that gambling is vice, and begin to educate the
young to that notion?

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

THIRTY great mineral districts,
Il scattered over the face of the
earth, produce three-fourths of the
worlds mineral supplies. These are
the districts where nature has con-
centrated her mineral wealth with
a lavish hand. These are the we'll
springs of modern civilization, the
fountainheads of national greatness.
They are also the storm centers
about which the destructive winds
of the neyo world war will blow.
Nations bordering the North At
lantic, particularly the United
States and the nations of western
Europe, possess the most impor-
tant of these mineral districts.
That is the chief reason, in the
opinion of Prof. C. K. Leith, chair
man of the Mineral Inquiry of the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers, why those
nations dominate the world today.
Today, every nation is striving for
mineral self-suficiepcy. But no ma
ton has adequate amounts of all
minerals. From This fact arise
many international complications
and new Importance for the free
dom of the seas.
Prof. Leith says that a third of
the worlds mineral tonnage-con-
sisting chiefly of coal, oil and iron
moves across international boun-
diaries. III war time, control of the
seas will be essential to victory.
Three-fourths of the worlds sup
ply of iron ore, the chief raw ma
terial of the Age of Steel, comes
from handful of sources in five
countries of the world.
They are the Lake Superior re-
gion and the state of Alabama in
the United States; northeastern
France and Luxembourg, the Cleve-
land, Lincolnshire, Northampton
shire and Cumberland districts of
England, the Kiruna district of
Sweden, and the Bilbao district of
northern Spain.
The situation with regard to coal
is much the salr4a.

A JUDGE is REMOVED

TINE conviction and removal of Federal District
Il Judge Halstead j. Ritter of Florida by the re-
quired bare two-thirds Senate vote was big news,
but not because the count upon which the convic-
ton was based sensational AS a matter OF
fact the Senate failed to convict on six specific
counts and convicted only on the general charge
of unfitness under the seventh.
The news of the conviction was big because of
its rarity. In all our century and half OF his
tory as a nation Judge Ritter was only the fourth
Federal Judge to be convicted Only nine altogether
have been impeached and brought to trial
Why? One would like to believe it because all
Of these thousands of Federal judges through all
the wears have been so circumspect to be above
suspicion of misbehavior We know this is not the
case for Federal judges are less human than
the rest of US and the moral and professional batting
average Just naturally is not that high The charges
that enmeshed Judge Ritter related to pretty
widespread and scandalous ev-the misuse of Fed
eral judgeship powers in passing out receiverships
to friends.
The reason Federal judges are not removed often
err we think is that the removal process is curnber
some, unfair and inadequate. First, charges must
be BROUGHT in the House. then the House Judiciary
Committee must sift them, naming subcommittee
to visit the scene and often under handicap of in
sufficient funds, conduct amateurish investiga-
tion then the House votes impeachment; then the
Senate sits as court with board of House man
ayers" acting as prosecutors. The House and Sen
ate legislative and political bodies suddenly must
turn themselves into judicial bodies. Often they
must take out weeks of their valuable time The To-
day trial of Judge Ritter fairly we'll attended,
but in the trial of Judge Louderback last session the
Jury" often consisted OF mere handful OF Sen
ators The process is unfair to the taxpayers. the
Congress and the accused judge.
Trials of Federal district and circuit judges could
be made more simple, just and dignit1ed Congress
could make House Investigations more expert and
Senate trials less clumsy. The Senate could author
ize its Judiciary Committee or board of its MEM
bers to act as referees for taking testimony and
making recommendations. And it should clarity
movable offenses so that judge could be removed
for simple misconduct without having to be charged
with high crimes and misdemeanors.

BLAMES DEPRESSION
ON PROFITEERS
By w. Williams, Columbus

BY w. Williams, Columbus
The Democrats have been in power
almost four years and this is what
we find:
Between IL and 13 million idle
men, about Is million people on re-
lief. We also have about rs more
million lodging the poorhouse and
bankruptcy court, while a mere
handful has more than they can
spend or reinvest.
The answer is simple. It is that
the real owners do not and will not
distribute sufficient purchasing
power among their employees to buy
it's output.
I read an article the other day in
a paper where it said that eight
women in Moscow were sent to
prison for trying to profteer. The
joke is that in this country we do
not arrest them for prof1teering, but
we send them to Congress and to
the Legislature. 1t looks to me like
the New Dealers will get away with
the election this fall, sailing under
the same sort of a flag that put
Hitler in power in Germany. But
here and there a red streak shows
up on the 'horizon that promises bet
ter things for the man that works.

But Portsmouth Struggled down
behind it's flood wall and went about
its business dry-shod.
There is the neatest kind of moral
in all this, both for those who live
in river cities and for those who
do not.
Those great natural" catastropheS
that visit us every so often-whether
they be floods, industrial depres-.
sions, or wars-don't come out of
a blue sky. We can see them, years
in advance. And despite all that we
say about their irresistible force, it
is possible to get ready for them.
Portsmouth proved it. Isn't the
tip worth taking?

anyone with imagination may vary
it to make greater appeal to the
appetite.
The information in this series
isn't scientists final word on nu-
triton and diet. Those who have
been following the tremendous adj
vances of the last Is years know
that we are only on the threshold
of what we ultimately will be able
to learn on this subject.
In addition to the research of sci
entists in laboratories of the great
universities and schools of nutrition,
manufacturers of food oducts
have begun to realize that foods
constitute the most important item
in the American budget. All the
great good industries have estab-
lished laboratories in which research
goes on constantly to determine how
foods may be improved from the
point, of view of value in the diet
and appeal to the appetite.
IN the appllcatlon OF the newer
IL dietary knowledge to the con-
troll of disease, physicians also are
beginning to learn much that is new
and significant. Newly discovered
facts have changed our viewpoint
regarding the relationship of certain
dietary Deficiencies to various
diseases of some organs, to the
breaking down of bones and of
teeth, to the occurrence of such
conditions as pellagra, neuritis,
scurvy and similar deficiency
diseases.
Some specialists, even, are pre-
pared to say that we may eventually
be able to improve the human mind
by modifying the diet.
AS result of our new knowledge,
children are growing bigger and
taller, and they weigh more than
did their ancestors. And we know
that it is possible for them to live a
little longer.
That is certainly more than
enough to warrant widespread dis
semination of the Truth About

ONE-HOUSE ASSEMBLIES
FIND FAVOR

BY L. L..
Slowly the idea of unicameral
Legislatures takes hold of the coup-
try. Nebraska, after a long battle,
adopted the plan and New York
state solons will be asked shortly to
indorse a resolution providing for a
study of the one-house system.
Proponents that, among other
advantages, the unicameral body
eliminates the necessity of a legisla-
tor lobbying" his bills through a
second house. Moreover, it is said,
the one-house body would command
a prestige not now possible because
'buck-passing" has become an all
too familiar practice of the present
tWo-houSe Setup.
Tt is significant that our delibera-
tive bodies, recognizing their own
imperfections, are setting about to
improve the modern Legislature.
And if the new proposal does little
more than call attention to the
weaknesses of these bodies, it has
been worth while.

SEES MORAL IN CASE
OF PORTSMOUTH, o.

BY Reader
Anybody who lives beside an
American river might do we'll to re-
fleet on two things-the' case OF
Portsmouth, O., and the fable of the
three little pigs.
The pigs, as you may remember,
set out to build houses. One pig
saw trouble coming, built house
of brick, and got by nicely when
the huffng and putting began. The
other little pigs, building less Sc
curely, had a great deal of trouble.
Now, Portsmouth is a solid indus
trial city nestled down on a point
of land between the Ohio and Scioto
Rivers. Some years ago the citi-
zens decided to take leaf from the
smart pigs book and get ready for
trouble. So they laid out $4,000
to build a great steel and concrete
flood wall along the water front.
There are a good many other
cities along the Ohio, from Pitts
burgh to Cincinnati, and of them
all Portsmouth seems to have been
the only one that went to the ex-
pense of putting up big wall. There
must have been years when the
$4,000 put into that wall looked
like a bad investment.
But Portsmouth sat tight and
waited. This spring the SHOWS
melted, the rains descended, and the
waters rose; and what happened?
