:'. 1 - Poison Death Ring
Since the first widow's confession little more than
rutin th airo. 29 arrests have -been made and nine deaths are
claimed to have been definitely established as cases of poison
murder for insurance, in the amazing roundup that has been
untier way in Philadelphia. Police have estimated that deaths
this nature run as high as 100 and that many more persons
are involved, .. ''": -,
f In Oregon two poison cases are still fresh in the public
mind; the Ledford case which involved two little girls who
had lived in Salem, and the case at Oregon City in which
poisoning was tried without success, and in which a confes
sion was made this week.
1 Reading the accounts of these known or suspected crimes,
the average citizen is filled with an incredulous horror. It is
difficult to imagine that there were in one community, even
so large a one as Philadelphia, so many persons who would
cold-bloodedly murder for cash. Mixed with the shock of con
templating such evidence of depravity, is the whisper of a
thbught concerning the ease with which such a fate might
overtake anyone, and with such slight apparent prospect that
crime would be detected and the guilty persons punished.
I Actually, however slight might be the comfort to the po
tential victim, the science of crime detection has advanced to
thj; point at which homicide by poison is one of the most easily
recognized of crimes. The tentative success of the Philadel
phia authorities only five convictions have been obtained to
date is an example of the efficiency of post-mortem inves
tigation into such cases once suspicion is aroused.
3 In many.sections of the United States there are compe
tent toxicologists who have had noteworthy success in solv
ing such cases," so that with respect to poison murder, the old
saying that "dead men tell no tales" has been revised to "the
dead speak to the chemist." j
; All of the; common poisons invariably leave their trace,
la! most communities it is still essential, if such crimes are to
be revealed and the guilty punished, that some susoicion de
vfjlop which will result in an autopsy. There was a time when
ifcjwas estimated that more than half of all poison murders
wnt entirely unsuspected. Today that record is improved,
but there is still a weakness in the matter of convictions. The
prevalence of 4uch crimes is another argument for the elim
ination of the present coroner svstem, substituting one which
will assure the investigation of all unexnlained deaths by a
trained criminologist with all the scientific means of detec
tion at his command.
j: However with the advance of science in this direction
and the more general prevalence of the preventative safe
guard, obligatory recording of all sales of poisons, this type
ot murder has been so thoroughly discouraged as to reduce
the number ofj cases materially. The Philadelphia "ring" is
merely an isolated exception.

t 1 ; Hazards of Undersea Travel
f Fifty nine; men trapped in a partly-flooded submarine
2$0 feet belowj the ocean's surface; 33 of them rescued all
w,ho remained i alive within a few minutes after the mishap
occurred. The incident is a dramatic reminder of the hazards
faxed by America's defenders even in peacetime, of the hero
ism which is the tradition of their calling. The outcome is a
tribute to the pains which our government takes in minimiz
ing these hazard? as much as possible.
f Until the jincident of this week off the-New Hampshire
coast, the ten-year international record of disabling mishaps
to1 submerged submarines has been "zero." Not one man res
cued, not one yessel salvaged. Five submarines and 230 men
lost. In 1927 When the S-4, of the United States went down
with 40 men aboard, no lives were saved but the submarine
ws raisedmonths later.
The problem of rescue must have seemed insurmountable
12 years ago, but men who had that disaster vividly in mind
went determinedly to work and perfected a cumbersome, in
tricate device Which would make rescue possible. Three dif
ferent groups nvented such diving bells, later the best feat
ores of all three were combined. I ;
,1 Not until this week, when the submarine Squalus became
flooded through failure of a valve to close, was the diving
Ml put to actual use in an emergency, but it had been tested
TPijccessfully many times. Its development'and operation were
portrayed in a motion picture shown here some, months ago. !
i The rescue of more than half of the crew is thus an un
precedented and praiseworthy achievement. The other side of
the picture is more somber; the 26 who were trapped when
the compartments in Which they were stationed filled with
wkter; the griijn necessity which faced the others of "shutting
thje door in their faces" in self-preservation. National de
fense is still a grim business, though no more so than many
hazardous industrial occupations which play a part in our
