Tlie dumbest member of the young generation we know
thinks that lly paper is material for making kites.
.There is. miicb talk about the age of that charming and
gracious star of the Chicago opera, Mary Garden. They say
8hj is getting od: Well, who will deny that there is much
to admire m n perennial Garden?
The new- Jones law, which allows a penalty of ten thous
and dollar fine and ten years behind the bars, is already
lieing condemned by some newspapers and citizens because
it provides such severe punishment for anyone transporting
liquor or selling a bottle of beer to a friend. Although de
signed to got the professional and persistent law violator,
it must be remembered that he gets In that class by starting
with little violations. The Jones law should serve to warn
aguinst these small crimes, against carelessness among other
wise respected .citizens. It is sure to cure or remove from
circulation ninny of the confirmed violators.

' The rumpus over. the so-called "sex questionnaire" at the
University of Missouri must have been started by a few hol-ior-than-thou'
self-appointed reformers who are suffering
from too much false modesty. The questions asked in the
questionnaire are-simple, ordinary ones such as might come
up in any discussion!' of .certain phases o, sociology. They are
lacking in BensaliomU qualities in this modern day and the
riUspdnsiun of three-Teir!y WeltilftTff iji n-l'esult of tMrMit
temptcd survey doesn't arguq well for the broad-mindedness
of the university curators. . One of the frequent charges
made against our .colleges and universities is that they fail
at attack many, modern problems of living while they seek
to solve the problems of working., The young generation is
not as unsophisticated 'as its predecessors and we see no
reason why subjects that are discussed In an intelligent and
impersonal manner in the fraternity houses and dormitories
should not be given classroom attention particularly if study
and discussion of them can-promote saner, broader and bet

A "SCOTLAND YARD" FOR AMERICA?
A "Scotland Yard'1 for the United States is in contempla
tion iit Wushjngton,'according to recent dispatches, Scotland
Yardas everybody knows, is the headquarters of the great
: British national police department High detective officials,
, in their .Londou offices, supervise the work of combating
.crime for all of England. They have direct connections with
every police department in England, and can get instant
co-operation.
The result, of course, is that England's crime situation
is kept well in hand, and the British police system is a model
for all countries', to copy. In America nothing like that
exists, Each city's police force is u unit iu itself. It bus
no real connection with, the police force of any other city;
and with the federal government, naturally, its co-operation
is even more sketchy. "'
When federal sleuths set out to calch ti criminal, they are
apt to lie sorely hamiered unless they can get quick and
hearty co-operation from the police of the cities lo which
their chase happens to take them. Sometimes they get this
co-operation and sometimes they do not.
The criminal, consequently, has a great advantage. The
disjointed 'nature of the law enforcement agencies works all
in his favor. Now it is being proposed that some plan be
worked out whereby federal, state and city police forces can
be joined into one unified whole.
That this would aid in the war on crime there can be no
doubt. Every kind of criminal, from the murderer to the
rum seller, would be hit a body blow. Efficiency of our po
lice Would begin to appiimeh the efficiency of Scotland Yard.
But it will take n great deal of new legislation. The plan,
doubtless,' will be ii lot easier to devise than to execute. The
proposal is worth much study, but no one need hope that it
will become a reality in the immediate future.
