So Smith became "Meditate" Smith to his fellow students. One evening a party of students gathered in the roo n•of one of their number, and Smith was one of them. The meeting was for fun and per- haps mischief. and such a meeting was an infringement of the rules. When the jollity was at its height a warning came that the professor was earning to investigate. The room was cleared a: once. Smith as usual. was the last and hearing steps ap- p aachig. he crawled ander the bed. seeing no other way of escape. Here he sat doubled up like a jackknife waiting the event with no -tittle ap- prehenaion. The professor entered, looked about m, saw that the room was empty, then turned to depart. As he closed :he door, a though seemed to strike m. he re-entered the rosin and ked' under the bed. "Hey.

That very rhing hap- pened often in prehistoric ages, and there are remains .oil clear evidences 01 the destruction of primitive civiliza- tions that at times existed along the borders of earlier Salton seas. A serious break did occur a genera- tion ago, during, the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, and only by tre- mendous efforts on the part of the Southern Pacific Railway and the Fe- deral government was total destruc- tion then averted. From that time until today the Salton sea has been a visible reminder of what this powerful river might do if left to itself, .The government recognized the need of a settling basin for these silt - filled torrents, of .quiet water areas in which this:: mud might deposit it- elf, so that the flow could no longer build itself higher and higher above surroanding country. The dam will furnish this basin, is the form of a lake 125 miles long and up to 600 feet deep. with a short line of between 300 and 600 miles. It will be by far the largest artificial lake in existence. and its waters would cover the State of Massachusetts seven feet deep. It is true that in time this lake will 'be filled by sedinmen:. But the term of its usefulness has'' been variably esti- mated at irom .100 to 2.00 years.

It is only two years ago since the Chief Scout prophesied that the building would be the biggest bit of team work the Girl Guide movement had ever undertaken, and already the magnificent response of 541,000 has come in 'to prove the truth of his words. All the counties in England, Scot- land, cotland, Wales, the Irish Free State, Ulster and the Channel Islands have: been and still are sending what they can, and the response from: the Dom- inions has been unexpected- and generous, Within a few days of receiving the special appeal. Bombay cabled for a door at £30 to be reserved, and don- ations of special interest are those received from places where there ate very few Guides, such as the Gold Coast,' 570; -Uganda, 510; Falkland. Islands, 520. Gilbert Islands, with a company of native girls, sent baskets home-made by themselves, to be sold in aid of the building. • Brownies are always very impa- tient to own a brick in the building, and whereas a company of Guides us- ually waits until it has raised a fair strm to send in, a Pack wIl send half a crown for one brick with the prom- ise of "another half-crown ' eery soon." One Brownie turned up at her commissioner's house with a real brick, which she put down with much pride. "Please, father's a bricklayer and says half.a crown is too much for any brick, so, here's one, anyhow!" As for the building itself, all the offices are completed and a full staff Is working in them. The main hall and shop still remain to be finished, and over 533,000 to be collected. The Guides have set their hands to the task, however, and the walls are rising. GTJAB.DL4.i OF TOWER BRIDGE. Bas Held Post Ever Since Bridge Was Finished. Every Londoner and nearly every visitor to London, England, knows the Tower Bridge which opens to al- Iow ships to pass beneath and chert shots again to let road traffic resume its normal way. But if you want to make the acquaintance of the man who looks after the bridge you must climb eighty-six steps to his office perched at the top. Sfr. John Gass, the superintending engineer and bridge master, has held his post ever since the 'bridge was finished thirty-nine years ago. He'is now seventy-eight years of age and will shortly be retiring. In the whole of his long time on the bridge there has not been a single accident. Be- fore the war, when pleasure steamers were more numerous, about twenty- five hoists a day were made, but now the number Is not more than about sixteen. The warning that a ship will want the bridge raised is given es she stationa short distance been invested in efforts to extend the arises a away.

THE COST OF RACKETS I have been reading a book writ- ten by a friend and former pupil of mine. Dr. Clayton` J. Ettinger is pro- ,iessor of sociology at the Western Teachers' College of Kalamazoo, Mich. His book is called, "The Prob- lem at Crime,” and it deserves wid reading. How can any taxpayer view with complacency the enormous public cost of crime? Dr. Ettinger estimates this at $4,000,000.000 annually. ILosses through frauds, property ized crime, Most hateful of all is kilo, naping. tI am not at all. confident that kid- naping has become organized, but there is an increasing number of cases. The Lindbergh affair brought home the seriousness of the under - e world menace. It is the vilest, of : all crimes. I't is a terrible commentary on gov- ernment that convictions for minor offenses are far more readily accomp- lished than convictions for crimes of 'violence. I do not criticize judges or losses through burglary and robber the economic value of 112,500 murder ed persons every year, and the gener- al waste due to crime—these items amount in excess of $8,000.000.00 more. "In recapitulation," Dr. Ettinge says, "after pondering alt these items and considering the far-reaching el feats of crime. we come to the cons elusion that the highest figures o 155 annual cost yet ventured -513,000, 00).000 probably not nn exaggera That is a terrible commentary prosecutors; doubtless they do the best they'can. But intimidated or soft- hearted jurors are not to be praised, It takes courage fora juror to stand 0: out against a hardened and danger criminal. But until love of counfry ✓ and insistence that her free institu- tions shall be preserved are drilled in- to every -heart, we must fail. n Wife: ""Before we were married you used to send round a dozen roses a- 'every week." ' Husband: "Roses are easy, This an organized nc ietyl'. It makes one hudder to think than crime saps more from the people than all the legitim- ate costs of federal, state and local gov e nen:. 'We. ;are amazingly complacent ab,u.t modern condi sans. An occas - !anal newspaper article reviews the t)1ect of racketeering g and comments on the :mp..ehse o' aociety. Yet nevspapdrs record murders, rc+oiber- ies and assaults. L3cal and state .force pore officers are doing all they can. But in spite of every efiart to cot rel crime, what is the cause for failure? One reason why so many murders are committed in the United States is because of the ease with which the weapons of crime are acquired. More than 70 per cent of the homicides in the United States result from the use of firearms. - 'Contrast these figureswith the fire= arms slayings: in. England, 10 per cent; 1r per cent in Australia, and 1 per cent. in japan. The free sale of firearms is the curse 61 America.
