4C 66 <o 4 & 1 Using the "Statistick des Deutschen Reichs Band," 228, for the year 1908, published by the Imperial Governâ€" ment, it shows that the convictions for fraud in the German Empire for the years 1904 to 1908, were 154,626, an annual average of 30,925, or 51 per 1,000 of population. By comparison on the basis per 1,000 these convicâ€" tions were seven and a halft times more numerous than in England and Wales and four times more numerous than in the United States.. The convicâ€" tions for embezzlement were as ten to one in England and Wales, and four to one in the United States. The risâ€" ing generation do not promise to be any better than their elders. Juvenile statistics dealing with those under nineteen years of age show: Assaults §,290, or 80 to 1 per 1,000 in the United States; larcery 28,534, or 127 to 1; embezziement 2,599, or 250 to 1; fraud 1,942, or 243 to 1; arson 148, or 5 to 1; robbery 158, or 3 to 1 per 1,000 of population.

Official statistics show that the whole nation is permeated with false ideas of right and wrong. A summary of these statistics is given by the New York Times, calling atâ€" tention to the fact that the most arâ€" dent proâ€"German has not claimed that the war caused a change of heart or a change of character in his people. As he led his awed party of sightâ€" seers about a magnificent church with domed ceiling and barbaric, beautiful windows, he found himself agreeing with Gran‘ma‘s gentle comment that whe "didn‘t believe the Lord felt real at home here, somehow." Geoffrey â€" Varrick _ learned _ more about his native city in the two days of the Flemingsâ€"stay in Toronto than he ever had known before. He disâ€" covered with Ma that in the downâ€" town streets there "wasn‘t hardly air enough to go around nor room enough to take a good deep breath." Suddenly Gran‘ma Bradley voiced the thought that was uppermost in all their minds. "I want to go home!" she said. "Seems like 1 can‘t wait to get to work piecing those quilts!" Uncle Henry was moving now through solid blocks of business streets thronged with alert, wellâ€"dresâ€" sed people. Later on they rolled through wide avenues bordered with stately houses set in carefully cultiâ€" vated shrubbery. Here the graceful spire of a priceless church soared above the clustered roofs, there the facade of an immense hotel. Geoffrey pointed out the sights as they moved along. He showed them shop windows gleaming like many colored jewels, he took them by the houses of Toâ€" ronto‘s millionaires and through the winding curves of beautiful parks. The Flemings looked at these wonders without enthusiasm, even with a sort of terror. The memory of Cardigan‘s Mary had turned the flavor of the city‘s beauties to ashes on their tongues. | "And I supposed we were poor!" she thought wonderingly. "But we‘ve always had enough to eat and enough to wear and a place to live. Being poor in the city is different from beâ€" ing poor in the country!" Oh, very different! For a moment, the tottering tenements were blotted out by a cool green vision of trees and tall grasses ruffiing in the wind, sweet with clover tops steeping in the sun. A throb of homesickness swept her soul. That was what it was to be poor, then! Julie‘s heart was sick within her as Uncle Henry moved on again through the fetid smells and unlovely sights and sounds. aimless hand. _| _ There were more than four hundred "Tough luck!"

Geoffrey bent above the wailing scrap of humâ€" anity and tucked a bill into the tiny aimless hand. "Tough luck!" He was scribbling something on a card. "There! Here‘s my address. Let me know if you‘re in trouble again." White and trembling, Julie got tc her feet and stumbled out of the car. "Oh!" she cried woefully. "The poor woman! The poor babies!

P‘I The Legacy on Wheels Growth of Crime in Germany PART X By Dorothy It should further be remembered," says The Times, in comparing United States with German crime statistics, "that in Germany most of the populaâ€" tion is ‘pure‘ German stock, fit exâ€" ponents of~ kulturization. In the United States an increasing percentâ€" age are negroes, Japanese, and forâ€" eignâ€"born whites. England, therefore, offers a better illustration for compariâ€" son than does our own country, and the proportions listed in the various tables will prove that the English stock has more of what the American calls ciyjlization than the German. SummArizing, the total average of the crimes enumerated gives a proportion of seven to ome more crimes in Gerâ€" many &: in '# United States, and more th to one over Engâ€" | _A park inâ€"the country may not be | uncommon in the better days that are | promised us in the near future, but | it is novel enough nowadays. There | is such a park in Boone County in the , State of Towa, and the example of the women of that district might profitâ€" ably be followed in our own country. | The park belongs to two farming | townships, and is situated in a village | where the farmers of these two townâ€" i ships do their trading. Its Revression," page 142: "It is more surprising then to find that in certain crimes the number of convicted childâ€" ren still of school age exceeds that of adults." Again, on page 145, he says : "The number of convicted children under fourteen nearly reaches a third of the adults‘ share." _ Finally, on page 218 he summarizes to the effect that child crimes "show a steady inâ€" crease since 1882, except in simple theft. The offences enumerated have not been subject to any change in legislative enactment during the years reported. Hence the conclusion is unavoidable that brutality, recklessâ€" ness, and licentiousness are spreadâ€" ing more and more in the growing generation." k The members did not gather to sew, do fancy work and consume refreshâ€" ments, but decided to look after the common welfare of the neighborhood in the same sort of way that civic clubs of towns and cities try to do. Under inspiring leadership the club grew in numbers and courage, and did things. Other neighborhoods notâ€" ed their activities, and with the help of the Boone Township Women‘s Club organized similar societies, until after a little while the rural women‘s club movement became such a valuable instrument of service that the whole state became interested. It was through the women‘s clubs that the vision became â€" reality, and the history of the park is a part of the history of the Boone Township Women‘s Club, which was founded but & fgw years ago. _ The studio with its crimson velvet | hangings" and faded Eastern prayer | rugs, its prieâ€"dieus and tapestries and | carved oak furnishings brought from ‘ abroad, appealed differently to each of | the visitors. _ Romey examined the | armour collection with enthusiasm; | Ma‘s housewifely soul shuddered priâ€" vately over the cobwebs draped over | the cornices and the film of dust over | everything.

What if she were to stay here in the same city with him, see him, perhaps, now and then, learn to "Big place, isn‘t i deep voice boomed . "What‘s the verdict?" When Pa Fleming remarked ingenuâ€" ously as the elevator shot them skyâ€" ward to the artist‘s studio apartment, that lé must be "a considerable chore to get acquainted with all the neighâ€" bors," Geoffrey felt distinct shame mingled with his amusement.

Geoffrey‘s her elbow. | With such an organization of woâ€" ‘ men in Boone county, it is not surâ€" prising that there was no lack of | feminine interest when a woman of ‘means living on a farm two miles from the village offered to give thirty ‘acres of her farm to the two townâ€" | ships and to the village on condition | that they maintain it as a public park, provide for its upkeep and pay the | taxes. ‘ Encouragement means interest plus, and we can give encouragement, cheery words, sincere sympathy, and unostentatious acts of service. Oftâ€" times it is done in hits almost too small to be resognized! To illustrate: A young woman came into Red Cross headquarters one day, a stranger to all the women crowded there. â€" She was timid, lacking in selfâ€"confidence, but impelled to come by her anxi ty to do something for iec country. gno leader coolly overlooked her; anothe asked bluntly what she could do ans We are all interested in ourselves, and the one who shows deep, vital and active concern for us and our affairs is the most interesting person to us. We love those who love us, especially those who love us enough to help our lives forward, to put fresh cheer into us, giving us power to help ourselves, to do, to achieve our ambitions. For ambition and achievement are differâ€" ent things. A number of large public gatherâ€" ings have already been held on the park grounds. One of particular imâ€" port was a getâ€"together meeting of rural women‘s clubs. They spent the day in the park, had a picnic dinner and formed the Booge County Fedâ€" eration of Rural Women‘s Clubs. Other gatherings have taken place, and the park has become the centre of many activities. % It may seem strange that people living near to nature should choose to go to parks for recreation just as city folks do, but the way in which all trails in Boone county lead to Boone Township Park indicates that they do. The park is now the pride and joy of the countryside. People living fifty, seventyâ€"five and even one hundred miles away motor to the pretty spot to picnic. There are playground equipment for the little folks, a baseâ€" ball diamond and tennis courts, a fountain, a rest cottage, picnic tables, ovens and rustic seats. The thirty acres embraced a tract of timber on the banks of Boone river. Strange as it may seem, instead of accepting the offer, the people of both country and town fell to wrangling, and when the matter was brought up at a supervisors‘ meeting the gift was refused. Then the women‘s clubs took hold of the project. : They made a houseâ€"toâ€"house canvas and stirred up such a proâ€"park feeling that the board of supervisors called an extra meeting and reversed their decision, accepting the park with tax obligations. "Toronto is a dreadful nice city to be going away from," Gran‘ma sighed contentedly. "I‘d rather be born and buried in Farmington. I shouldn‘t feel real contented buried anywhere else, I don‘t believe." Fortunately for Julie she had little time to think of anything during the trip home. In spite of the lessons she had received she found it required most of her attention to keep Uncle Henry from unfriendly contact with the chickens that once more seemed to spring up in his path. The Flemings had now no eye for the beauties of the country through which they were passing. They sat stiffly forward on the edge of their seats as though to hurry the car to keep pace with their eagerness. x Never dgain, thought Julie with a surge of humility, would she be sorry that she had red hair. She could even forgive the freckles now, â€" Long afterâ€" ward when Uncle Henry was well on the homeward way, it was not the time when Geoffrey said a reluctant goodâ€"bye to them all that she was to remember but this magic moment toâ€" gether at the western window in the faint crimson haze of the setting sun. Victory Bonds "No," said Julie quietly, answering his question and her own. "No, I don‘t belong. I‘m not even sure I want to belong. I‘m going back home toâ€"morâ€" row and cut patchwork for Gran‘ma‘s quilts and help Ma with her bees." There was a moment‘s silence. "I should have liked to paint your picture," Geoffrey said abruptly.
