This will perhaps make some curtailment of serv ice at these institutions, but dividing it iii two for the two years of the biennium and amains ii lunner uwu8 mc five institutions it does not appear that the essential func tions of the institutions will be very drastically cut. Where is the business which has not been forced to make sharper reductions than this both" in expenses and in. profits? In fact judging fromjthe expression in the Eugene paper,, the hope now is that no referendum will be raised to attack tne remainder of the special appropriation. ; The Whole Record "Is her banking system better? Canada had no bank failure- ' rinr nsfl. w have in ezeellent banking system. Bat If Can ada's Isn't batter, why was Canada, without -bank failures?" Portland Journal. . - ?l If the Journal would look the ; matter up it would find there hasn't been a bank failure in Canada since 1922. , t The reason banks do not fail in Canada is because the institutions aire adequately capitalized, and are run by trained bankers. No one is sent - out to manage a branch bank without a period of training in the home offices of the company. The banks are run a banks, nd not as promo tion ventures themselves, nor boosters for speculative en terprises. Another thing, in Canada, if a banking location proves unprofitable, the branch is simply closed and the accounts transferred to the nearest other branch. Thus the earnings are not being eaten up. with expenses leaving no margin for the inevitable bad loan. - P Six thousand banking failures In ten years in this country is a poor record in comparison with Canada. gtrangelr enongh. while the world waa looking for the United States to be first to show signs of trade rerlTal, foreign countries seem to b recovering at rather a better pace than we are. The measure of this la the recent rapid rise in foreign bond issnes listed In this country. Many of them hare been selling at absurd leTels, except on the theory that the whole world was about to go to pot. In the laat few weeks foreign bonds,: both governments and indus trial bonds, hare been using the upbound eleratoi4 after long weeks of downhill tobogganing. This shows both th improvement in for eign conditions and in sentiment here respecting foreign affairs. Since business is very largely a matter of confidence, this sign of renewed faith Is 'encouraging. In fact the rise in bond prices which asually comes at the end of a period of depression, la a fortunate offset to falls in share prices due to recent dividend cuts of big concerns like- New York Central. t ; !

I pray that even greater progress may speed' ily come. J ' s .; But this experience Is not harmful to the- mother alone. The babe may suffer i in consequence. Pressure upon the tender bones may produce trouble to the pre cious tissues within the head. It cannot bo determined imme diately upon birth, whether the brain is damaged or not. There may be a long period before any thing .abnormal is discovered. A full year may pass before the mother is convinced the- baby does not use. a hand or a foot as it -should,, i . After a while It is noted that the baby- has no expression in the face. Perhaps the time when speech should be possible has been, long passed before- the rea son for tho delay la talking. Is discovered. j i It is fascinating to study - the development of a child. With ev ery passing; day the babo learns something; new. Almost from birth the youngster makes pro gress in the use of the - eye- and I ear. A' tiny baby will listen for the mother's movements. By self -education the Infant learns to use tho hands and fin gers. Movements which were un certain and uncontrolled at birth, become . certain and defin ite. But, dear mother. I am not say ing all these things to distress you. There s a note of cheer in this message. . Even though the child - may ha,ve stiff limbs, a face without expression, inability to speak. constant dribbling from the mouth, meaningless cries and laughs, you need not worry. It is amazing how these defects melt away. -In later childhood they will disappear and the child wUI be normal in every respect."

R. has keen run by ladies who are better classified as D. A. T., daughters t Tories. Evidently the Constitution they venerate with a hall, contains no clanse guaranteeing "freedom of speech", which was one thing the-" shoeless, costless bacon-less patriots fought for.

Bim went, up to Eagle's Nest, ' her thoughts busr ' With the - brief glimpse she had caught yesterday of the 'broken parts of a puzzle all fitted together. She set about tho self-imposed task of unearth ing evidence - which, she hoped, would save Bob Trent from being falsely charged with the murder ot the Baroness von -Wiese and would, at the same time, turn up the real criminal. . . ." . It seemed -. a hopeless task at first. What the police had ac complished since yesterday, even to determining the truth - cbout the attack on the maid Jane, Bim did not know, sine she no long er had Walter's confidence. Yet something in the way of a break was with her, she decided, when she discovered that Jane j was confined to her room with a very palatal arm and a slight temper ature. ! - ." - - -.-i--'" "I'll go and sit with her.? she told "Em. . -' ' !": "Oh, that's not necessary, Bim..

Bim- carried magazines to the-little- room on the third floor and ' was met with a quick - look "Couldnt aland it arty longer. hm gasped out brokenly of gratitude from the maid's blue eyes. Bim made no attempt at talking, but read in a quiet tone wnicn soon put the sick lrl to Sleep. But the instant that Bim made the most cautious move ment her eyes flew open. On Guard Over ' and over this happened till Bim was in despair. One thing was necessary, according to her reasoning, "and this was a search of the maid's clothes a search which would would bring, to light a certain tiny article upon which hinged the-solution of the mystery holding all of Pine Hill in its grip. ; v Sitting there with her voice droning on and on, Bim won dered how ahe could bo sure of this how it was she felt positive that concealed somewhere . about the person of Jane was tho key to the dark riddle. She could not answer tho question: she only knew without understanding how or why. . - - And Jane's watchfulness hard ened her conviction as hoars went by But It defeated her in the end. Yet she laid aside the magazines and went away with the firm resolve to return again. This was interruption not conclusion..- . v Remembering the Trenta, Bim proceeded ' up tho hill with the thought of helping ' to prepare supper for Mlllicent and. Bob, since the nurse would be away. But there was no supper In the cottage that Sunday' night: Step ping across the little porch, Bim heard wild sobbing and Mlllicent came to meet her, wringing her hands and moaning. - i "I can't do anything with him. Bim f Oh. it's wrong It's all wrong! But he's got to tell; it'll kHi him if he doesn't. What shall I do. Bun? Tell me- what to do I Bim put her arms around the other woman, trying to calm her. "Hush, dear; don't i make it worse.- Bob's gqt something on nia mind; we re known this. Bet ter let him say whatever he wish es now. I'll send for Walter." - "No!" - '"!-.-. j "Darling, dont you see It's only a matter of time till every thing's found out? Walter Is his good friend and yours, too. He's been holding them off; he'll help you, dearest. Tho one way the only way f Mlllicent, became quiet after a time and Bim went back to Ea gle's Nest and telephoned to Wal ter, returning as . soon as she could. He brought Reynolds and the two officers, with Mlllicent and Bim, ' passed ' into the sick room, where Bob Trent looked at them with fever-bright eyes." "Couldn't stand It any longer." he gasped out brokenly. "Driving me crazy, lying here thinking. Held off on Mlllicent's account the devil to pay " - "Easy, old man,". Walter kept telling- him. "We're with, you." Trent's story came out in Jerky Incoherent sentences. "I was sore that night. Who wouldn't have been?" ?-': "Darling; ft dlda't matter," Mlllicent sobbedl -- , "Well. I knew X wouldn't sleep. I " brought Mlllicent home .and then-1 drove around. Sometimes X do that; it helps. Don't know how It happened, but I got oft on the road back of Hardy's place; the new road they cut In there." That," though Bim; "accounts for the tire tracks." , Sec perverts and suchi H W " The Bits! man often has occa sion to differ from the editorial writer ot the Oregoniaa who ban dies subjects connected with criminology and penology. . But, under the heading, 'Where Sel ene Can Aid," an editorial ap peared in yesterday's Issue ot that newspaper witn : in conclusion of which any . one with common sense can fully agree. It reads as follows: ", ; "Every degenerate known to San . Diego authorities . will be rounded no ; and questioned, we are told in press dispatches from that city, following the murder of Virginia. Brooks in circumstances that chill the blood. And again it Is said jthat 'all ot the men to be questioned are known by tho of ficers to have been capable of committing the Brooks crime.' i "It takes j some such statement as thatt to Confront us with, the tact that society still has a great way to go in Its own protection along line that are Clearly drawn. Why should known ' de generates, men capable ot perpe trating the most fiendish of crimes, bo at liberty, with com plete freedom of action, la any community?! Yet they are, Tne inference in the San Diego report that the police know a consider able' number of Individuals who come within that category may be credited without question," It is a matter of common knowledge that there are characters of the type in every1 large city. - When ever a crime of this kind occurs the authorities at once check up on the movements Of individuals known to them as being capable of atrocity. The root of the trouble Is In failure to give science medical science -sufficient weight in our system of handling the problem of crime. No great distinction Is drawn between crimes ot perver sion and other offenses. Failure to produce testimony to convict assures freedom to the suspect. even though the evidence that he is a menace; to society might be readily determined - by scientific inquiry. Convicts sentenced for sex felonies are set at liberty at the end of their i terms, or per haps by parole, without any real effort to determine whether they possess tendencies that are almost certain to lead to a repetition in kind of their offense. The rec ords are replete with such In stances. ".. j 1 "The case of Pender, who killed a woman, In a cabin near Scappoose, ; Is a conspicuous ex ample ot this kind., Pender, was convicted and, given a life sen tence upon strong circumstantial evidence. Doubt was raised later as to his ,guilt, an organized drive was made for clemency and' Pen der was released, only to be trap ped afterward In an attempted of fense against a young girl, which almost certainly would have in eluded murder, and which re moved all doubt as to his guilt of the Scappoose crime. .! "Some day. it may be predict ed, such investigations as that which preceded the release ot Pender will concern themselves quite, as much with a scientific study of the Individual as with the evidence that led to his con viction. And In cases where vicious tendencies are determined to exist the Penders wil not be turned loose to prey upon society. "Science has not advanced to a point where all dangerous degen erates can be detected. It is quite likely that the murderer Hickman would not have come under ob servation before his crime, even If there were closer supervision ot this kind than we have now. But there are scattered individuals -By R J. HENDIUCKS- "l sat there a while," the tor tured voice from the bed went on wonderinc how I'd ret out, I'm not so good at Juggling . the car around and It's narrow there ravine on one; side. After a while X climbed down to look over the ground. Then 1 1 saw someone In the garden. By the summer house." ' ' - "Yes?" Walter asked softly. "Who was it. Bob?" (To be continued tomorrow.) who would be easily and definite ly recognized by competent ob servers as a public menace. Even casual, observation by the police enables the officers to identify, them. h "It Is not toe much to hope that eventually there will be spe cial protection against these eas lly- recognizable criminals, or po tential criminals. The " problem may in the end be accepted . as medical rather than criminal. Some form ot detention or re straint wilt be provided, even when no overt act has been com mitted, and the time . will come when persons known to be cap able of such deeds as the recent San Diego outrage will not be at large. It Is. a phase of criminol ogy in which 'medical science should play a role of , increasing importance." ' i I -N Oregon i Is on higher ground in this field than any other state in the union, owing largely to the outstanding work of the late Dr. J. N. Smith, superintendent of our Institution for the feeble minded. But the limit of near present and future safety will not be reached until all the states, and the federal govern ment, too, go as far as the Ore gon Ian writer suggests yes, and farther, j ; , H U . It should grate no more upon Ideals of Individual liberty to segregate the potential sex per vert than the Insane person liable to commit less heinous criminal acts. !,';. , . V : It should offend such Ideals no more to so treat potential sex; perverts in such a way as to stop the breed than to sterilize all feeble minded persons, male and female, before they are permit ted to be at large, as is humanely and wisely done in Oregon. And practiced also, though to a more limited extent, with Oregon's In sane. And authorized with in-, mates ot car penitentiary. High, class leaders in-the med ical . profession and outstanding authorities on penology agree, to a. man, upon the indeterminate sentence for all persons convict ed ot felonies. Under that system the Penders would rarely be re leased and never In condition to perpetuate their kind. j '-'v- 1b Vi ' -1 (Continued tomorrow, In such manner as to not be too offensive as Sunday reading.) , ; !
