The. lust few weeks have seen important 'devel opments toward uie curoing or crime. - . At San Quentin penitentiary, California, has been ; adopted a practice which many hail as a revolutionary step ; in criminal rehabilitation. It is plastic surgery for the faces ; of those convicts who feel that their appearance is against s them. The underslung jaw, the squinty eye, the mashed ; nose and the low, apish brow mark a man so that he has no chance tq make good, they say. " . y, A far cry from, the day when criminals were deliberate- '... ly disfigured so that all who met them might know their true t Character. Nowadays the plug-ugly can have his face lifted , i and beat back to respectability by getting a job in the movies. jjawlessness, It's,eems, U only skin deep.,: ? .

When one bandit . has been put to death, the profession should become less pop- ular but at a great cost o? victims' lives. If a bandit knows ;: his own life will be the forfeit if ho is caught; will he risk '.- letting his, victim go, to direct pursuit and identify his as jsailant? Certainly not; he will kill him. , , y The Michigan house of representatives, considering ; crime legislation, dismissed humanitarian proposals and 1 adopted the whipping post. : For armed robbery, ten to twen- ty lashes "on the bare back, well laid on," are to be admin '1 istered every six months of imprisonment.

Of course, t ! jazz. reflects modern American life; and the iiora! fact that j it reflects it accurately is the thing that keeps it from being j( "first class music.

Cross 'walks are protected, he says, and any pedestrian who wants to avoid accidents can confine himself to them. Perhaps he's going just a bit too far- Yet there's a lot in what ho says. It is certain that the nian on foot could do a great deal toward cutting down the accident toll. BRUTALITY OF I MEXICAN TRAIN BANDITS TOLD (0(11)1111110'! from iiuko 1.)
