with crime and lawlessness,
am convinced that the
surest cure is a healthy
respect for law and constituted au-
thority.
If society is to be protected, our
law-enforcement agencies must be
efficient and well trained. They are
our only authorized agents to protect
US from the ravages of the lawless.
Yet behind American law-enforce-
ment agencies stands ''Our Best Po-
liceman." He wears no uniform. He
arrests no criminals. He is not armed.
He is assigned to no particular beat
nor to the discharge of any detailed
duties. Without his aid, however. the
forces of crime cannot be routed.
In brief. Our Best Policeman" is
state of mind - an understanding
of the solemn responsibility which
every citizen should possess if his
home and his community are to be
freed from the bondage of lawlessness.
The fight against crime boils down
to this: Whenever "Our Best Police
man" gets on the job. outlawry imme-
diately runs into difficulties. Witness
the tremendous improvement in law
enforcement technique. made possible
by public support in recent years -
the new methods of apprehension and
detection. the improved personnel, the
greater use of science in tracking down
offenders And remember that only
few years ago. many of our law-en-
forcement agencies. through lack of
public support. we're almost archaic
in methods and equipment.
A survey conducted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation reveals a
startling relationship between crime
rates and police personnel. In COM
munities where the citizens have pro-
vided themselves with adequate pro-
lection, far less crime occurs than in
similar communities where budgets
for law enforcement fail to provide
adequate police personnel.
Our Best Policeman" sees that the
needed protection is provided. He
makes sure. too. that this adequate
police force is properly trained and
equipped, for he realizes that maxi
mum effectiveness cannot be obtained
otherwise.
In too many of our communities
lack of interest tips the scales in favor
of the criminal: the law-enforcement
agencies are insufficiently manned.
poorly trained and improperly
equipped. Nneteenth-century prac-
tices cannot defeat twentieth-century
crime. Even practices which were
adequate ten years ago fall far short
today.
All of the new methods, however,
are useless if there is lack of public
support If Our Best Policeman"
is not on the job. Courts can mean
little; prisons can become bird cages
or country clubs. But when the Aver
age Citizen realizes that he has the
same responsibility toward crime that
he has toward epidemics. then all the
things necessary to stamp out crime
new methods, new equipment.
better judges and juries. more efficient
crime preventive methods, surer
punishment and reformation - will
follow quickly and certainly.

Keep Normal
Weight Is
Advised
Underweight Must
Cease to Worry
And Eat More.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

OUR national beauty problem is no
longer how American women
should reduce. but rather, how those
who are underweight can put on more
pounds.
Too strenuous diets and constant
worries have undermined the health of
numerous women. The depression has
something to do with the problem but
emotions have even more.
The woman or girl who Is very much
below normal weight is usually the
worrying type-or a fadist. One type
builds mountains out of mole hills
mentally, the other goes in for any
diet she sees printed or is told about.
Marked obesity is neither healthful
nor pleasant. urge any woman who
is too stout to do something about
her overweight. but to do it sanely. If
it is glandular let her put herself in
the hands of competent gland ply
sician. If it is caused by over-indulg-
ence in eating. then she should master
the will to limit her menus. Exercise
(Which the majority Of women ignore)
is so vitality important in keeping the
mechanics of the body in order that
I do not understand why it is neglected
Adequate menus, enough exercise
and enough to do, should keep most
women in their proper physical pro-
portions. But, alas, We find over
weights and underweights and some
thing must be done for both!
Nervous energetic types are fire.
quently skinny. And to be skinny is
not beautiful. The new high hair
styles. and strapless gowns demand
normal weight. And a girl of normal
weight is happier and lovelier to look
upon, than one who has dieted or
worried herself to the skinny stage!
My advice to underweights is this
Eat more than you need daily and
learn to "unlax"! You must worry
less. Adopt the motto Put off until
tomorrow all you can possibly avoid
doing today!"
Eat and then sleep. Sleep after
lunch if that Is possible. Eat some
thing or drink glass of milk before
going to bed. Eat two extra meals
One during the morning, another dur
ing the afternoon.
Whether you like them or not eat
many green vegetables and drink quart,
Of fruit juices. They furnish the
foundation on which the sugar and
starches build flesh.
Put on extra pounds by doing this
Once you have gained that weight
you can exercise and massage it into
proper proportions.
Exercise enough to create an appe-
tite-not to use up your energy.
Learn to sit or lie down whenever
you can. Save yourself.

"Oh, couldn't do that"
why not?"
II Just couldn't Besides, my
mother would come right out after
me and what could I say? There
isn't any use in asking her If I can

me go to an affair at the inn anyway.
She just wouldn't"

you don't know my mother. She
would let me pack my bags. And go.
And getting back home would be up

way, wouldn't be so silly. I don't
want to worry her, and I wouldnt t
run away from home. Goodbye for
now. No, won't be able to 60;
thanks just the same"
Not now, not any time" she
murmured as she went up the walk
to her own front door. why should
I make my mother feel bad? Acting
like kid. Packing my bags. Like

little late. I was talking to Lima.
Were you waiting for me?"
"Yes," said mother. Il was watch

you out for the weekend. An old
friend arrived unexpectedly with a
daughter, just your age, and your
Aunt wants to have a little party
for her. I have your things all

frock we admired in Young's window
last week. Just the thing YOU
wanted, you remember? You're going
to have wonderful time. Isn't it fun
to be 1872"
1T Is If you have mother who
happens to like you, like mine.
Mother, wouldn't trade you for
for anything. And wouldn't frighten
you, not If I could help it. You know
that, don't you, mother?"
"Of course. Run along now, and
get yourself ready for the train. You
do think of the strangest things. At
the strangest times. And don't forget
to give your nails an extra doing.
They can stand it. I want you to
look nice. This is your very first
week end from home and you must
do us credit"

finds herself in another woman's house
with her mildest suggestion regarded
as interference. For years and years
she has been busy, the days not long
enough in which to finish her work.
Now she finds herself with idle hands
with nothing to do but kill time. In
her own community she was a per-
sonage Of importance. In her sons
or daughters house she is merely
Johns or Mary's mother.
STRANGELY enough her own child
is changed. She still thinks of
John and Mary as little children who
must obey her and now she finds that
she must obey them. Their ways are
not the ways she taught them. They
don't cook the way she cooked, or rear
their children the way she reared them.
and they laugh at her advice instead
Of taking it.
1t is because two generations always
look at everything from a different
point OF view and there are bound to
be clashes between them that it is un-
fortunate for mothers to have to live
with their married children. but fire.
quently this cannot be helped. and
then it Is up to both parties to make
mutual concessions and meet the situ-
alton with good will and unselfishness
