Berlin.--Germany has no rackets, but the Nazi police have now completed a system of crime prevention by the systematic observation and control of known criminals that 1s probably far more thorough than the new methods developed by the New York police. Not hindered by considerations of personal liberty, which are out of place in a totalitarian state, a system has been evolved In which every person suspected of. being a habitual criminal lis under ..control constantly. ./ The result has been a 50 per cent reduction in the number of arrests on criminal charges. - - r The control consists of various forms, of what amounts to permanent custody. Sometimes the police merely order the suspect nbt to enter betting rooms, cafes or saloons which receivers of stolen goods are to frequent. Others wha hjive robbed stores and houses at night are ordefed to stay at home,ev^y night fcow li p. PK to 5'ft. m»' police or to commit crimei? ^'e' ordered hot to leave their^hMne. cities -except by perjmission'of the |iolice.. Criminals with long records of convictions are \ h^Jd in concentration, camps known as training institutions. This form of detention is not the result of a court sentence and is not intended as punishment but is a preventive police meaatire. Theoretically the police can force a habitual criminal to serve a life terrt in such a canip. Internments are also ordered for those who disobey police orders about frequenting certain localities and going out at night . 7 Age of tli« Horse The first five years of a horse may be considered as equivalent to the nrst 20 years of a man; thus, a horse of five years may be comparatively considered as old as a man of twenty ; a horse Of ten years as a man of forty; a horse of fifteen as a man of fifty; a horse of twenty as a man of sixty; of ™ „ « . , twenty-five as a man of seventy; of /^ym0Ut thirty as a man of eighty, and of A-l Condition.

This time it is a little four-j ear-old girl, Deborah Sue Itivkin, of Overbrook, who has topped the records made by the two noted child film actors, Cora Sue Collins and Freddie Bartholomew. Cora and Freddie, in the Binet-Simon test, compiled marks of 151 and 135, respectively. Dr. Lightner.

Deborah never has attended a school, or ?kindergarten, and she never has been forced to learn any of the many things she knows. She can count to 100 and read almost as well as a seven-year-old jjirl. She knows the alphabet and can write and spell ber own name and the place where she lives. Also there are 20 words she can spell aside from her name. Deborah Sue Hi ngs from memory the words of 15 popular songs. She dislikes dofls. ^ France Has Monopoly in Finding Work for Idlt Paris.--This country of government monopolies has t(ust created a new one In an unexpected field. To fight unemployment the, labor ministry established an unemployment bureau, and it has just been discovered that the decree creating it is so worded as to give the government monopoly of finding work for the jobless. • • , The organization which made that discovery was the Foyer Hotelier, a welfare organization in the hotel industry which was engaged in finding Jobs for unemployed hotel workers. The labor ministry complained, and the appeals court sustained the ministry, fining the welfare organization for having olfered its services, which were free, to the jobless. The court hqnded down the oplnioto that the letter of the law makes it Illegal for, anyone to tell an unemployed person where he can get a job. Bounty Sails wwmi '//X4'//s i m Philadelphian Rejects $3,000 Offer for Fish Philadelphia.--Gustav O. Armbrtister, fish grower, has refused an offer of $3,000 for 76 discus fish and their parents, which he has raised. The offer was from a commercial concern. The discus, pompadour fish, or blue scalare,: as It is-variously known, is a native of the Apiazon river. Armbruster believes he is the onlyx person to have kept them alive more than a dpF or two after hatching in captivity. He said that even with the post careful care more than half of the 'delicate hatch died within a week. t,**- i Here, under the sail off Catalina island, Is the famous ship Bounty, once I a?ain afloat The vess 1 was built esi ppc-lally for use in .he filming of | Charles NordholTs "Mutiny on the .

BARRETT ' Lighting of Baal Fir* Th« lighting of the Baal Fire in land is always a great event, with children dancing about the fire and their elders dancing the old English dances on the green. In Finland the peasants "drive to centers where they dance and sing and leap over th» ben- Ores till long after midnight IunrMct PIra*«r» British Insurance companies pioneers ot Insurance ta tbs world. Cowper writes, "Absence of occupation Is not rest; a mind quite vacant is a mind disturbed." It is Interesting to note the .various ideas people have abont a vacation. True, it Is freedom from customary toll and yet many persons return to their work after their vacation more tired than before they went away. They toiled very hard to have a good time. The very idea of a rest period is thus defeated. We should return to our daily tasks refreshed, strengthened and with rene ed vitality. A vaca on, however, does not mean that the time, whether it be of long or short duration, should be spent in complete idleness. Homer writes, "Too much rest Itself becomes pain." One of the tragedies we occasionally meet Is that of a man, able financially to retire on a perpetual vacation, but has nothing to which he cair retire. He has never learned to play and has never cultivated a hobby. When bis usual routine is abandoned he finds himself very miserable Indeed. The very idea of an endless vacation to him 'Is positively unendurable. The greatest benefit of a vacation comes from a change In thought and habits and perhaps environment, in other words, in complete contrast with and freedom from daily grind. The real benefit is found In the change 1 "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Much benefit may' come to us not only physically but mentally. When we are on .a vacation we absent bur selves from our problems and are thus able to view them from a distance. What seemed large and important mav appear relatively less important. What seemed unsolvabie may appear easy of solution. It Is possible to be too near a problem to thoroughly understand or comprehend all the issues Involved. Many of onr mos* fruitful ideas come to us in the early morning hours after a good nights sleep. Vacations also afford a time 'for spiritual rejuvenation. The mountains, forests and ocean, or whatever may be the environment, inspire us to higher thoughts; to a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the beauty and grandeur of this very wonderful world. Mountains were' not made to be Inhabited. We climb them to obtain a point of view. Who would want to spend an endless vacation upon a mountain top? True rest Is not found in, idleness but in service. "Rest is not quitting the busy Career. Rest is the fitting of self to one's sphere." Rest is not found in freedom from duty, but is found in doing our duty in every day tasks. If we have thus learned how to rest the entire year may be a vacation. t WssUra Kwnw WW.
