CUREOFCRIIE Jones, MA. ED. Social Service Council of Canada. What are some of the Causes of Crime? In a short series of articles, it is proposed to discuss this question. In a very fine article in the “Atlantic Modhly,” Francis Hall tells us that when he was a magistrate in India. during the' great wave of unrest which passed over some of the yrovlnces, there was an outbreak o lawless- ness and crime. In a time of famine for instance, thefts are doubled and crime increased. Half the thieves would have been honest men, but for the famine, and the conclusion he draws is that local conditions are sometimes the cause of crime. greatest' is that of the my, and Qure of -ermeszys 130ml. {billion One of the causes of crime, is un- doubtedly, poverty. In one of our western cities, less than a year ago, a carpenter who was out of work, in desperation, which had been brought on by poverty, smashed the window of a jeweller’s store. He did not run away, but quietly sub- mitted to capture, and when his home was investigated, it was found there was no bread nor butter, no tea. only a little sugar, and his wife and three children hovered over a stme with the fire out. Was the man a criminal? No. With him it was, "Anything to help his loved mws." When the case was known, It stirred the whole city. Among the many problems of life that_cr_y _f0!_‘_ sqlutjaq tgday, m9 «in» or the results of poverty is, undoubtedly, our slums. Booths “'[Xukest Enligland,” Riis’ “How the Ulhei Half Lives,” S pargo’s “The 1:11 of the Children,” Stead’s, “If llu'ist flame to Chicago,” all show the nwnace of the slums on our so- cial life. Huxley tells us that dur- ing a tiip around the world, having M 1-11 many miseries of barbaric life, he saw nothing so hopeless, so in- tolmabl1 dull and miserable as 11 hat he saw of life in the East End of London. and if he had to choose ilo‘i-WN‘H that and the life of a sav- age. ho would have chosen the lat- ter. Lord Byng in speaking before the Canadian Club in an eastern city of the Dominion, said, “Canada should have no slums, and yet I flnd in your city, slums where homes haw been built from old stables and the manure smell comes up through the [111111.

Someone has described these as “that aggregation of wood- en \\ alleol, tarpaper-covered, tin- tack-sluddml shacks and sheds.” There's a description of an Italian colony in one of our midwestern cities. "A lot of miserable shacks, filthy inside and outside. closets above the surface of the ground. no drainamn lilthy beyond descripthm.” A description, too, which tits towns in some of our coal-mining areas.

V filfldly, mm 1!, M A NOVEL DINNER GOWN sion of mports showing the comparâ€" atve cost of constructing the St. Lawrence seaway route and the project that is ofi'ered as a 331th- tute for it by its opponents in the Eastern United States, the Oswego- Hudson River Ship Canal. New York which sees in the St. Lawrence pro- Ject a danger to its commerce. has presented the strongest opposition to the Canadian water route, and has magnified the merits of the scheme by way of the Hudson. It was contended belore Congr that the cost of this project. would be less than that of the St. Law- rence waterway, and much was sought to be made of the fact that the undertaking, if completed. would lie wholly within United States ter- ritory. That is, patriotism and economy were equaly enlisted in surpyort o! the ppm osal. As a re- t of the pressure pghrou ht to hear. Congress appointed a Board of En- gineers to study the whole question and lace findings before 1t as speedi y as ossible.

' The findings of the engineers, however, are unlikely. to be in ac- cord with the hopes of the promot- ers of the ()swego-Hudson pr sal. The work of investigation, whi e not completed. has been carried far enough to enable the Board to say that the expense involved in build- ing this canal will be at least dou- blm if not treble, the estimate of $200,000 which was placed before Congress. That would be from one hundred million dollars to one hundred and fifty million dollars more than the cost of the St. Law- rence route. Another advantage, too. which the St. Lawrence waterway would pos- sess over this proposed Oswego- Hudson canal is the immense power which it would developâ€"enough, it is estimated to pay almost all of the capital cost of the project. It is. indeed. claimed for the Oswego- Hudson proposal that much electri- cal energy could he developed as a by-product of the navigation enter- prise. but no details of ”how this is to be accomplished have so far been given. The more theSt. Lawrence route is investigated. the more clear it becomes that it is the only feasible proposal for lake-sea navigation, and that all attempted rivalry event- ually must disappear. Nor will it be possible for opposing capitalistic interests to succeed in preventing this boon to the trade of half a con- tinent ultimately being assured. Delay may resulta but opposition finally must give way before the de- mands of the rich and expanding \Nest.â€"-'I‘oronto Globe.

A poriml of mild wnathm' or a hot spell in latn Sepember, October or Nowmlmr is bound to be labelled "Indian Summer" by the amateur weather prophets. and every mortal practisos to some degree this sort of pmgnoslication.

St. Martin’s festival falls on November 11, and Indian summer is due about the same date, perhaps a litle earlier or later. as it may happen. or even as late as early Dacgmberu Late gum- mcr wcathcr of September and the autumn days of October are not to be mistaken for Indian summer.

A plausible derivation is seen in the old lndi_a_n custom of harvest- -‘L .. lll till: Uuu nun-5...- ing corn in this season. Another theory is that the Pilgrims gave it its name when they were told by the Indians that summer would re- turn after the first spell of winter. An interesting explanation is giv- en in the “Notes” of Dr. Doddridge, horn in 1763, a student of the folk- lore. traditions and history of the Indians and early settlers. He traces the origin of the name to the fact that the neursions of the saw- ages against the white settlers which were interrupted by the ar- nun-nu in The amnion. It Pays.

The cunning animals alwa a managed to eecape before I coul arrive to take a hand in the affair. But one moonlight night about the. middle 9; august. i was awakened by Laddie’s hay- ing. He was down by the. cotton- woodagain in a state of excitement; so I armed m self with a twenty- two and, pic ing Up a flashlight, hastened out to his assistance. The cottonwood was taller than the barn and stood far enough awaz so that the tip of the longes branc was about nine feet above and near- I four feet out from the comb of t e ,roof. I threw a beam of light up into the tree, and at one}: caught sight of a big coon far out on the long limb toward the barn. I raised my rifle to my shoulder and took aim. Then the animal vanished, and an instant later, I heard sev- eral soft thuds on the roof of the barn. I dashed out from under the tree. Then I stood still in amaze- ment as I beheld a procession of five coons hurrying along the comb of the roof toward the other end of the barn. A thirty-foot section of twelve- inch iron pipe, set firmly in con- crete, stood upright, ten feet out from that end of the barn. The top of the pipe was eight inches lower than the comb of the roof ank sup- ported one end of a steel trac , four inches in width, that carried the big hay-fork used inside the build- ing. When the coon at the head of the procession reached the end of the roof, he never slackened his pace. but walked fearlessly out on the narrow, steel track,‘and in the twinkling of an eye, was hugging the pipe with his front legs an sliding rapidly earthward. A sec- ond later, he had reached the ground and was hurrying away. One after the other, in rapid suc- cession, the other coons slid down the pipe and hastened away after their leader. In less than a minute. the last coon had vanished over the creek hank. Then I awoke to the realization that I had stood, rifle in hand. throughout the entire per- formance. too much interested to think of interfering with the escape of these clever creatures.
