"A short time ago an investigation in two of the leading cities' of 14Iis- solid revealed the fact that, whereas information had been laid before' the a► police concerning some 14,000 major felonies, arrests had followed in only 8 per cent. of the cases. worse --it was shown that a total of only 3 per cent. had been found, or had pleaded, guilty, e "To trent to the efficacy of punish- ing severely the 3 per cent, while al- lowing the 97 per cent, to escape scot- free would scarcely appeal to a Euro- pean as an example of our boasted ef- O ficiency or our hard common sense. They, on the contrary, have built up - non-political police forces that make It decidedly risky for an individual to engage in clime, "The second thing that impresses the visitor to European prisons is the existence, in the care and treatment of prisoners, of a standard of care "e steadily and faithfully maintained, To ,,,t throw out the entire staff of a prison from the warden clown to the lowest guard simply to make places for the friends of the incoming administra- tion, and to have this process repeat- ed over and over again as has been done in many of our States, is a thing utterly abhorrent to the .European's notion of public administration or of proper public protection of society from crime." Richmond Times -Dispatch says in reply: "There's nothing 'wrong with the criminal laws of the States or of the United States; so far as the detection et persons who have colnmltted- crimes which fall within tho category of malum in so is concerned, there's nothing wrong with the police of the States or of the United States. When, the vast expanse of the United Status. is compared with the densely popu- lated countries In which Dr. Robinson re investigated conditions, the American Police are as able and keen as the police of any other country. "What Dr, Robinson has overlooked, apparently, is the -difference between the administration of the criminal laws in tiro United States and in other countries. It isn't the fault of the laws in the United States that offend ' ere go unpunished; 1t isn't the fault of the police; it isn't because of mild- er ponalties in Europe than are pro- vided. in America that 0110)1nals are punished in Great Britain and on the Continent who would go free in America.

ELPING BUILD CANADA Starting Young Canadians Right With a Healthy Foundation is Recognized as of National Importance A SPLENDID EFFORT Government. Caps a Notable Year With a Notable Publication The Dominion Government has just published "The Canadian Mother's Book," written by Dr. Helen MacMurchy, chief of the Division of Child Welfare of the Department of Health at Ottawa. The foreward—"The greatest gift is a child, and the greatest honor is to be a mother," and the introduction—"This book has been written for you—a Canadian mother. The Government of Canada knowing that the nation is made of homes, and that the homes are made by the father and mother, recognizes you as one of the Makers of Canada. No National Service is greater or better than the work of the Mother i In her Own Home. The First IJ Mother is the e Servant of the State."—These These tell the story. Simply Told Dr. MacMurchy is to be congratulat- ed upon the simplicity and clearness of the language with which, she tells her story of how to care for young Canadians, Dr, MacMurchy used to be teacher of Literature in the Old Gram - near School or Jarvis Collegiate Insti- tute in Toronto and well does the re- viewer remember how colloquialisms and Popular expressions were frowned upon by the Doctor when she en- deavored to teach him the rudiments of the English language. The Doctor, a master of English, has worded her book in the simplest manner pos- sible and where popular expressions carried her thought most forcetully she has used such expressions until the result Is absolutely clear, read- able, and understandable by nnyoue who can read words of two syllables. To stress the important points Dr. MacMurchy has resorted to repetetion so that any one seriously wanting to benefit by her instruction can- not possibly fail to have her truths driven home. She has written, for the good o1 the great mass of Canadian women in average circum- stances. Fier simple, direct and inti- mate language proves her as great a master of English as ofphyscology. A New Era The old time method of "rocking the baby," picking up the darling,'•' "cuddling the little pet" is past and Dr, MacMurchy has stressed the point so often forgotten that the first year of a baby's Ole is made up of sleep, food and bath. The reviewer's personal experience, arrived at through watching and helping his bet- ter half raise a fair steed family fully confirms the Doctor's methods, Free For The Asking The publishing of the Canadian Mother's Book is without doubt one of the most notable events marking Canada's Jubilee Year and every mother, prospective and expectant, sbould have this most excel- lent publication which will be mailed Free by simply writing and asking for it to the Department of Health, Ot- tawa, Canada. Advice to Doctors Being a mere newspaper man the reviewer hesitates to offer advice to the mod•lcial profession but as the father of a successfully raised family who has been through the experience he does notlbesitate to say that every doctor in city or country should keep a supply of these little books on band and give one to every wife and mother. We congratulate the gov- ernment on their Chief of the Division of Child Welfare and -we congratulate Dr, MacMurcby on such a noteworthy achievement. Opium Monopoly in China Singapore Free Press: The news that Chiang Kai Sleek is returning to the old system of farming out the opium monopoly as a means of rais- ing revenue, is a sufficient indication that financially affairs are far from satisfactory with the new Govern- ment. It would of course have sorted ill with membership of the League of Nations when praying to be free from a foreign drug tyranny in one's own country, but now that the Chinese delegate to Geneva has departed It is possible to sacrifice the shadow of morality for the substance of ma- terialism and to make use of the tyranny to produce funds for the con- tinuation of campaigns.

Silo Filling Practically ' ever since silos came into use it has been one of the cardi- nal rulesof silo 'poreation that the silage must be very thoroughly tramp- led as put in, to prevent molding and spoilage. This job of trampling in the silo is one of tiie most disagreeable ones en the farm, andthe good wages demanded :adds quite a little to the emit of filling the silo. The high cost an0 searity of labor led a number of farmers 1n dlffeffrent sections of the country to try the plan of filling without trampling, and sev- eral have used it the last three or four years with perfect success. Many clang that there is less loss from spoilage in silos filled this way, than under the old plan of two or three men trampling down the silage. By not trampling the tillage, and us- ing a smallensilage cutter and tractor, and a binder with bundle -loading at- tachment, a farmer and his hired man. or boys can fill the silo without extra help, greatly reducingthe cast and labor of filling the silo, The advocates of the non -trampling plan recommended cutting the silage in one -fourth -inch lengths, adding plenty lent of water if the corn 1s frosted and dry, and directing the filler pipe at the •centre of the silo, allowing the ensilage to fill up In a conical shaped pile, the tenter tending to push down and out, packing the ensilage tightly and eliminating air spaces. Experiments carried on at some of the agricultural experiment stations indicate tbat these farmers are right, and that where the silage Is cut rather fine and made rather wet, that there is little, if any, more spoiled silage than with the older and more costly' method. It is important that the sil- age be quite damp, so that water can be squeezed out of a handful, that the ' elle not be filled too rapidly, and that it be refilled after settling. Also, It is recommended that the top two or three feet be even wetter than the average, and be tramped well. I.W.
