The third degree, lius no proper place in a civilized com munity. Nor haa the stool pigeon- method, trying to make a record of crime detection by -inciting it. '' Doth procedures should be wiped- off tho slutc, by the force of an outraged public opinion. The police have but one job, to detect crime, and to arrest criminals. The matter of determining guilt rests not with the police, but with tin) courts. The crime wave is serious enough as it is, without sending out paid provocateurs, to increase it. , The Wiekershum commission report was a disappointment as fur as prohibition was concerned, although there is reason to believe those who criticix-ed it most severely never took the trouble to read it. i But in other directions the commissions findings promise to be of genuine value in eliminating the most flagrant abuses of criminal procedure and improving our system of reforma tion and punishment.

The Wiekersham report, referred to above, was generally ridiculed and condemned, because it failed to point to any def inite solution of tho problem and,' as far as the members were concerned, demonstrated that on no single point could the mem bers agree. But what other outcome could hove been expected? Where there is no unanimity of opinion. among tliQ people, how could unanimity ho expected in a commission representing them! ' ANOTHER EFFORT FOR UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE SO.MK time ago it occurred to Professor Zachrison, of Upsala University, that if English could bo shorn of its difficulties it would be the ideal international tongue. Though we dp not always realize it ourselves,' our language, as it stands, presents extraordinary difficulties to foreigners. Take our spelling, for instance: ough represents five different sounds 'in cougli, rough, plough, though, through. ' Sometimes 'wo spell words differently and pronounce them alike, as, for example, pear, pare, pair; sometimes, again, we spell them in the same way but have different pronunciations according to the meniiing, as in tear. -' '''-''".'' : i' ' ' , Simplify ifs spelling and the worst drawback to English is at once removed. Our grammar is much more simple than that of all, otiantuajr ihtf ttpQikvtt, for instance,.., are comniou-HCiiSQ. M'on are masciiliue, women i emiiiine, and things neuter. In (ionium, a tom-cat is feminine and a woman neuter; in French a sentry and o recruit arc . both for somo queer reason assigned to tho feminine gender I : . ' 1 OROFESSOR Zuehrison has given the name Anglic to his simplified English.5 lie has made the spelling straightfor ward, the suirto letter or cohihiiwtion of letters always repre senting the sumo sound. .Having examined English spelling carefully, the professor found that the long "i'' sound (which appears with different spellings in words such as eye, erics, buy, bright, and so on) is most often represented by "ie." In Anglic, therefore, this sound always, appears us--" it;. " This is just one example. Trf quote Professor Zaclirisou: "If I write the next si'iitenuc in Anglic you. will see how it looks, and you will agree that it is not lit nil difficult to rend." ' Hoer la ae speslmen sentens in Anglic so that yue mae see for yuerself how slmpl the spellng la and how eeay It la tu reed; ao torlner la not pusledby wurda spelt In wun wae and pronownscd In anuther, , T .. .3 . . ,, . - , Auglio does not make use of long or complicated sentences. Simplicity is the keynote not only in spelling but also in gram mar and const ruction. Professor Zachrison found that Anglic was mo easy to learn that students were able to speak it fluently after twenty les sons of an hour and a half each. ' The success of Anglic should be assured, since English is already by far the most widely spoken language. It is the language of the British Isles, of the whole of North America, of Australia and New Zealand, as well as of large parts of Asia and Africa. Out of the 1,8IH),(X10,H00 inhabitants of the world, about 1!00,000,0(IO already speak English twice as many as use any other language. Ixmtlon Tit-Bits. Illiteracy has its advantages.

Unless such a Journey Is wisely msnaged, both mother and children, not to men tion -the other passengers, are llsbte to arrive-.at their destination Irri table, tense and fatigued. When, not long ago, I took my small daughter on a five-day train Journey. I carried a bag ot things to keep her occupied. There were several brand new pic ture and story books, a large blent pad, stiff construction paper. ecis son. another package ot paper In assorted colors for .cutting paste. crayons, pencils, modeling clay, a home-made cardboard loom and gaily colored wool for weaving, a box ot bright beads a blunt needle and heavy thread for stringing. There was a surprise too a small doll and at those moments when boredom and Irritability might otherwise have come to the fore, some new garment or accessory tor the doll's wardrobe was produced. With very little children. It Is best to have a table set up In the sleeping car tnstesd ot taking them into the diner for meals. It the child Is old snougli to manage him self neatly at table, breakfast and lunch may well be taken In the diner. The change of scene, the walk back and forth provide a welcome diversion. During the dsy. several walks to the observation car give a little one much needed exercise. It Is well to keep the child's diet severely simple wlth'sn emphasis on trults and vegetables. Sweets, rlcn heavy t foods and eating between meals are apt to be disastrous.

'. The prevention" lot this - very common arid painful condl- tlon bss two phases. First, the prevention of the varicose dilation or enlargement of the Hem orrhoidal veins. Second, the pre vention of acute Inflammation, pain or bleeding -where such a varicosity Is already present Today we'll deal only with the first phase. '. The .derivation of the term hemor rhoids is from Greek roots meaning veins liable to discharge blcod. One reason why the veins In -this situa tion are so subject to congestion, dilation or enlargement and hence fto- Inflammation and bleeding, is that they have no valves to relieve them of the weight of the column of blood they support while the In dividual Is In an upright position. The hemorrhoidal veins drain blood directly Into the portal vein which .conveys blood to the liver. Thus any thing which tends to congest or en gorge the l(ver predisposes to hemor rhoids or aggravates the trouble If It Jji already present. - ! The most direct relief or remedy, preventive and curative. In any case Is the .resumption- of the horizontal -position, or better the so-called knee cheat position (on ail tours with chest on the floor and thighs vertical), or still - better, doing the dachshund crawl a few times around the room or the monkey walk It you're too dig nified to crawl. . i Hemorrhoids (piles) are merely varicose veins, subject to the same complications as may occur in vari cose veins elsewhere. ' Only more so. ; Piles are by no means so common1 nor so trivial as most people Imagine. I have pointed out ln'prevlous talks that In the majority of cases the patient's own notion- that the trou ble Is "piles" proves wrong on propar examination. Pain-, and visible bleed. Ing are not the only serious effects or complications of piles. Patients sometimes suffer grave lmpalrmenf Of. health from prolonged, slight, un noticed or internal bleeding, or chronic focal infections which resist all remedial measures until the in fected piles are properly treated. ,1 hate to frghten anybody, but I'd rather scare everybody than fail to utter a warning when . warning . Is needed. Some of the most tragic coses a doctor has to deal with are cases ot rectal cancer which have masqueraded a little too" long as "piles" because the victims elected to drift along on such a bad guess. Here It must be admitted that some physicians -are culpable because they shamelessly quack It when the too trusting patient offers the ready made diagnosis of "plies." instead of mak ing a proper examination and de termining the real nature of the trouble and the right advice and treatment . to give. '. . Probably our unhygienic customs of dressing is a factor of hemorrhoids,, particularly the wearing of excessive clothing. .. , .. It Is not merely sedentary' habit, but the neglect of suitable dally ex ercise that makes folk who dodge work so susceptible to piles. Per haps the best of .all dally exercises for the prevention and relief of piles Is' walking ibriskly, not sauntering or dragging along, but stepping out as though you were In training tor somo thlng. i. . , QUESTIONS AND-ANSWERS v ' Anyway It.
