the extent of crime as anyone, says there are
4,300,000 criminals in the U. S. He says the
annual cost of the nation’s crime is $15,000,-
000,000. That amounts to $41,040,000 a day.
The cost of the Bonneville Dam has been put
at $74,000,000. The cost of crime for two
days in our country would more than build a
dam like it. This would mean the equal of
$10 a month from each individual of the na
tion. The crime wave engulfs 35 American
lives in violent blood each day.
All this in what we call enlightened Amer
ica! It makes us sad. It stirs our minds to
seek the cause for it all and how to apply a
remedy.

They are Ernest Monroe, Leon
Bentley and George Knox.
MORE MOTORISTS
Highway travel in Oregon jumped
17.5 per cent during January ai.d
February this year, according to
Secretary of State Earl Snell. This
increase in traffic makes the simul
taneous drop of 35 per cent in high
way deaths all the more remarkable,
Snell declared.
W E HAD IT, TOO
If one thinks he might be smitten with
small pox, he can be vaccinated: if there’s
danger of typhoid he gets inoculated: if it's
a serious stomach aihnent, a man takes a
pinch of soda and postpones treatment till
day after tomorrow: if the heart overworks,
the patient takes an afternoon nap, retires
early that night, and is off to over-exert again
the next day: but if it’s flu—he stops every
thing right now—or else! ! !
Old and young, rich and poor, the saintly
souls and the sorrowful sinners, the farmers
in the orchard, the man on the street, the clerk
in the store, the housewife at the dishpan—
in all walks of life, they have been laid low
for a few days or a few weeks with the dread
germ that makes one "feel rotten all over.”
Yes, our reportorial staff knows how the
pesky stuff goes. He pecked out a few
feverish phrases last week, then took himself
to bed to be initiated into the "I’ve Had the
Flu” league, only to drag his weary bones and
clammy flesh down to the office to begin on
Volume II, Issue 32 with the zest of a Napol
eonic soldier returning from Moscow.
But the flu comes every now and then and
it seems we must regard it like the weather,
the recession, the apple market, or the spread
of Nazi-ism — there’s not much we can do
about it.

"WHAT A PIECE OF WORK—"
It was Shakespeare’s famous character,
Hamlet, who, just like a rooster flapping to
the top rail of the fence, let out this crowning
sentiment: “What a piece of work is man!
How infinite in faculty! In form and moving,
how express and admirable! In action how
like an angel!”
All too often the American has been prone
to place himself in this grand, eloquent posi
tion. We hear it often—America leads the
world.
Yes, we lead it in crime. “What a piece of
work is man!” Yes, there’s the kidnapper,
stealing a little child out of a home. There
you see him, with his devil hands at the
throat of the child and at last throwing out
the body in the brush of the roadside. “What
a piece of work is man!” There’s the goon
squad with bludgeon and fire and dynamite—
doing the devil’s work. There are our great
penitentiaries crowded to the doors with those When the alarm sounds off at 6 a. m. these
