Sugar didn't create enough acid.

FROM time to time we shall tell

G. K. Chesteron told me such a
story about himself little while

most missed writing it. If hadn't
written it, | would have stopped

of wine. 1t took my all, but |

The Woman in Crime

belief that woman can do no wrong.
This has been engendered not SO
much by the law-enforcement officer
as by the juries which tried women
offenders Given a certain amount of
beauty, an ability to weep, the aid of
sufficiently scurrilous attorney to die
tate what clothes should be worn,
what actions should be carried out in
the courtroom, what lack of makeup
to use and what theatres to indulge in,
feminine lawbreakers have found it too
easy to win acquittals.
And since statistics are based on
convictions rather than accusations,
women have been placed in false
position regarding crime.
Prosecutors and other law-enforce-
ment officers naturally are guided by
what happens in the courtroom. After
all, they are not the last word in the
freeing of the innocent or the convic-
tion of the guilty - that usually is lett
to the jury, no matter what the evil
dence may portray. For many years it
was almost an inviolable rule that,
given the proper training in THEATRES
by criminal attorney, almost any
woman except those guilty of utterly
heinous crimes, could walk free of con-
viction. This applied especially to
that part of the underworld which is so
important to the desperate criminal,
the woman consort, who aids, abets,
advises and assists the main partici-
pants.
Due to the fact that it was almost
impossible to convict them, many
women escaped simply because the
prosecuting attorney feared to file
charges, lest the ensuing acquittal re-
act upon his record. The crime had
been committed, but it could not be
proved to the satisfaction of the twelve
Don Quixotes in the jury box.
So crime continued to fatten = be-
cause women had been freed. Now,
however, the spirit of false chivalry to-
ward women criminals is being broken
down - and women everywhere are
being made to shoulder their response
bility when they break the law.
As a result, statistics showing the

nF AMERICA is to smash the vast
army of crime that menaces the
property and life of every decent
citizen in the land, we must wage
relentless war on the women in crime.
We must recognize the fact that wom-
en- can be dangerous, vicious and
utterly conscienceless criminals when
they so choose.
"Cherchez la femme" says the old
French axiom = and it is an infallible
rule for the detection and apprehen-
sion of criminals. In my experience as
Director of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, | have seen this rule work
almost without an exception: Where
you find the woman in crime, there you
find the man, who all too often not only
committed the crime because of her,
but has been aided by her in its execu-
ton and in his escape from the conse-
quences.
The Bureau. which | am proud to
head, adopted an inexorable policy in
this regard, especially when it was
given Jurisdiction in kidnapping, extor-
ton and bank robbery cases. In prac-
tically every outstanding instance, it
was found that gangs lived because of
their women. The feminine members of
the gang arranged hideouts; they
looked over the scene of the robbery,
thus allowing its careful planning by
the masculine members; they made
getaway charts for easy escape; they
hired lawyers; they acted as go-be-
tweens i in fact they performed al
most every highly necessary duty in
the commission of crime, except the
actual perpetration Of the o4ense itself.
In instances, we found women to be
the instigators of crimes = such per-
sons as Ma Barker, who headed the
murderous Barker-Karpis crew, and
Kathryn Kelly, the brains Of the Ur-
schel Kidnapping Also, woman was
most important to the welfare of the
Dillinger gang.
So we sought vigorous prosecution
against these female criminals in every
instance. And we obtained convictions.
For too many years there has been
spirit of false chivalry regarding wom-
en- in crime. There has been too much

"Since the beginning of the con-

No American cotton and no dark fire

reau said.
Dark fire-cured tobacco exports to
snain averaged almost 100000
pounds a year before the civil war !.
For the six-year period of 19so-51 to
1885. these exports to Spain were
1875 percent of the total to all coun-
tries, the report said. Exports TO
France made up the largest share.

No announcement was made that he

Refusal of the high court to re-

Shanghai, Oct 18.-(AP)- Chinese
o,tborities said today that a death
battalion of 1.4OO Chinese troops and
more than 5000 Japanese attackers
moro killed in battle for possession
Of Tazang, about five miles north
west of Shanghai.
They described the engagement, in
which Chinese fought to protect sup
nlv bases, as the heaviest single en-
counter in the Shanghai area since
hostities began.
Colonel Ching WI, commander of
tbe Chinese force at Tazang, had de-
cared they would fight to the last
man. After 80 hours of continuous
battle against Japanese infantry, sup
norted by planes and naval guns, Col.
Ching was killed and his force wiped
cut.
Chinese and Japanese air raids and
ant-aircraft Smelling caused increas-
inc fears in the international settle
ment that Shanghai may suffer a re-
petition of the bloody Saturday ca
tastrophe of August IA.
There was a growing demand a
mong foreign residents for some sort
of remedial action. It was learned that
American and other foreign consuls
are asking their home governments to
protest to both China and japan a
gainst war planes flying over the
foreign area.
Japanese, falling to break Chinese
resistance in the Chapel sector of
Shanghai, in 81 days of continuous as
sault, resorted to air bombardment of
oil Chinese communication lines and
supply bases behind the lines.
