feiting, using and selling narcotics.
Thtrty-nius per cent Of soonss'' finger
Printed in 1916 for crimes had tres'-
ons criminal histories.
And. of course, they were guilty
of many crimes of personal disor-
ganization. In 1916, prostitution
caused 6,316 arrests, sex offenses
$500. And no fewer than 26,3O7
women were arrested for drunken
ness, disorderly conduct and
vagrancy.
What can we do to combat the
rising tide of female crime?
Well, we probably can't eliminate
women from the crime problem,
any more than we can wipe out male
crime. But we can try to identity
and treat them early, as we do with
men.
We were discussing this problem
with a judge. He said, 'Half of the
crime that has appeared be-
fore my bench could have been
averted. Looking over the case his
tories of these offenders, invariably l
can spot a point in their lives where
they met difficulties with which they
could not cope - usually when they
were quite young. If they could have
had adequate guidance, they would
have come through successfully. But
they did not have that guidance and
they foundered. So they end up
before my bench. and even while
sentence them, l realize it could
have been avoided. That's the great
pity - and the great waste"
A Better Way
AFTER a moment of angry silence
he went on, IF only we could get
our legislators to understand that
it's cheaper to educate than to i'm
prison. Why, it costs eight hundred
dollars per day merely to keep this
court open." Earlier a district
attorney had informed us that it
cost New York County $495 a year
tomaintain each prisoner.) Through
education and guidance we could
produce a useful member of the
community for less money"
In 1894, Professor Sheldon Glueck,
of the Harvard Law School, and his
wife, Eleanor Glueck, made study
of 500 delinquent women, inmates
of a reformatory. Three hundred
and forty-five of the 500 manifested
bad habits in childhood such as tru-

lying and stealing are not natural
manifestations of a child. These devi-
ations are storm warnings: a signal
that something is wrong with the
child's life at home or at school.
If these children had been identified
and treated quickly a good percent
age of them would not have turned
up in prison.
The Attack
In ORDER to achieve this objective
of early identification and treat
ment, we must have co-ordinated
attack on the problem, including:
I. Schools with child-guidance
bureaus.
:. Improved teaching staffs.
;. Intensified parental guidance
through adult education, visiting
teachers, aid from social agencies.
Gin 1856 of the 500 cases in the
Gluecks' study, both parents had
not attended school, or were illit-
crate or barely able to read and
write.)
4. Improved mental-hygiene facil-
tiles.
8. Adequate recreation to take
the place of the lure of the drug
store cowboy or the cellar club.
CThe Gluecks' study showed that
less than 100 women had had

childhood.)
Police must learn not only to
"cherchez la femme" who will lead
to the male criminal. They must
suspect her of the crime.
Court attitudes must change.
Last year two out of every five wom-
en- who appeared before the courts
had previous records. Yet judges
and juries persist in tear-gas atti-
tude toward men and a tear-duct
attitude toward women. 1t is still

somehow, on a more ''genteeI

when Norway and Denmark con-
cluded a union under the Danish
King in 1850. At dissolution of this
union in 1914, neither Greenland.
Iceland nor the Faroes were men
toned and they therefore were re-
tanned by Denmark. In the mean
time, communication with Green
land lapsed and the Morse colonists
died out. The first of the modern
settlements in Greenland was
founded in 1921. From 1774 on,
trade with Greenland was a monop-
oily of the Danish crown until the
German occupatio of Denmark in
1910 cut off the homeland and the
United States sent needed supplies
to the island.
Denmark actually exercised SOW
ereignty over only the west coast
of Greenland and one trading sta
ton in the east before 1917. In that
year, it was formally extended to
embrace the whole island. =,
The question came up in the final
negotiations leading to { American
purchase OF the Virgin Islands from
Denmark for $25 600. 900
Ina December 4, 1915. memoran-
dun TO President woodrow Will
sson. ia1en Secretary cfaState Rob-
Fert Lansing reviewed discussions
with the Danish Minister about the
Virgin Islands and said:
Peary Protested
II believe We are now In posi-
ton to enter into negotiations for
the purchase of the islands. You
will observe that the question of
Greenland is involved. I do not
think 1t Is of material importance,
but propose to ask to what extent
possession is intended, because much
of the island is still unexplored.
Another memorandum by Mr..
Lansing, dated December u, 1915.
contained this paragraph:
"The Minister also spoke to me
about the desire Of his government
to obtain from this Government an
agreement by protocol that it would
not object to the extension of Dan
ish occupa ton of Greenland. I
told him that the Danish West In
dies and Greenland should be COM
bined In one negotiation; that Den
mark had something which we de-
sired, and that evidently We had
something which Denmark desired;
that it seemed to me it would be
possibly the most advisable way to
incorporate the two subjects in one
treaty rather than to have treaty
of cession of the Danish West In
dies and protocol relating to
Greenland"
The treaty, eventually signed on
August 4, 1916, and put into ef-
feet the following year, was &C
companied by separate protocol
stating:

States will not object to the Danish

the manufacture or in higher cost
Of railroad transportation de-
pendent upon coal.
Some goods and commodities will
be hit twice or more by the higher
cost. Take steel for example. Some
authorities estimate that it will be
necessary to raise steel prices as
much as IS per ton. If that is true,
the effect of the coal wage increase
will spiral through the host of
products made from steel-automo-
biles, building materials, household
equipment, etc.
What May. Follow
Then, there are the railroads,
probably the largest users of coal.
Railroad men claim present freight
rates already pinch them badly.
The need for rate relief will be ap-
preciably greater because of the
higher coal costs. An increase in
transportation rates will add to the
price of steel, which in turn is re-
f1ected back into operational costs
of the railroads because so much of
their equipment is made of steel,
and so on.
Organized labor, like all other
consumers, of course, will feel the
pinch on its pocketnook as the re-
suit of any price rises which may
follow the coal wage boost. The
worker, naturally, will seek raise
for himself to offset the higher
living costs.
Aside from that, there will be the
rather natural desire of workers
in other big industries to try to
match the huge concession won by
Mr.. Lewis the next time their con-
tracts come up for renewal.
Other Unions Unhappy
Within the past several months
the CIO unions in the big mass
industries such as auto
electrical appliances and
steel, settled their new contract de-
for the equivalent of about
Is cents per hour increases. The
leaders of these unions are ur1-
happy. The miners As cents an
hour boost makes them look bad.
For months many top union Of
flcials have been genuinely con-
