Kentucky only a few years ago pro duced 80 per cent of the Hurley to bacco that was grown. -:o: URBAN LITE AND CRIME The much-commented increase in crimes of violence is partly a mat ter of more complete statistics and wider publicity. But even divested cf any exaggeration, the figures for homicides in the cities of the United States show a very threatening up wardtrend. The causes of this in crease in homicides are many, and in some cases inevitable. One of the most alarming aspects cf the increase, however, is the part played by in finity of impressions which impose of murders from year to year. The homicide rate for American cities has increased since 1900 about three-fold, and after discounting the greater tendency to stress insanity as defense in Court actions, there re mains an appalling growth of mental aberration resulting in crime. The same nervous ailments are doubtless responsible for a substantial increase in the suicide rate. The conditions cf life in cities are probably responsible for much of the neurosis which is the beginning of these types of crime. Not merely the noise and bustle, the crowding and confusion of urban life, but the in fini ytcf impressions which impose themselves on city-dwellers in swift succession, hour after hour and day after day. Concentrated work and concentrated pleasure, all taken at an accelerated pace, have led us to a stacatto existence that is too abruptly different from the andante of the nineteenth century. The rhythm of today's cities, in other words, has altered too sudden ly, and many far more than ever succumb to the error of committing crime have been unable to work out for themselves a balanced conception of how to live. If the extreme cases end in homicide, and less twisted in stances of maladjustment come to a head in Divorce Courts, it is appar ent that numberless other persons lead baffled, thwarted lives because they are not at home in a two-stimulating environment. Like many problems which arise out of the ceaseless evolution of so ciety into ne wpatterns, this matter of the city environment does not lend itself to any easy formula for its solution. There are many approach es. The better care of mental ills is the most obvious. The lessening of noise and traffic confusion and crowd ing is another approach equally tan gible. The movement into suburban areas is still another, and more or less instinctive countertrend. Educa tion of youth in terms of the extra ordinary environment they must live in, surely will have to be our main dependence in meeting this chal lenge. On parents and on teachers alike falls this broad and vital re sponsibility.

The task of driving a car in traffic is nothing to be sneezed at. HAMILTON FISH'S RED CRUSADS A congressional committee, under the chairmanship of Representative Hamilton Pish, is at work investi gating communistic activities in the United States. What the occasion for this investigation is no one, and that includes the committee, seems to know. Already, one of its by-prod ucts is a proposal to create a force of Federal police, though several kinds of Federal police, plus an army ! of under-cover men, spies, snoopers and agents provocateurs, are now in existence. The new force, for lack of something to do, would soon turn to terrorizing citizens whose political and economic beliefs were not gospel according to Hamilton Fish and the remainder of the red baiters. Besides, the establishment of such a band of Federal polizei would be another in vasion of state sovereignty, the states being given the police power under the Federal Constitution. There have been numerous red in vestigations since the war, and they have all been futile because, as any sensible person knows, this country is in no danger whatever of capitulat ing to communism. Some of the probes, however, have had vicious re sults. We have in mind, among oth ers, the famous Lusk investigation conducted by a committee of the New York Legislature. If this country ever witnessed a revival of medievalism, it did so in the Lusk report. One of its most noted recommendations was for the expulsion of five Socialist As semblymen, duly elected from New York City in 1919. The ground for this action was that the Socialists held views with which Senator Lusk and his colleagues could not agree. Among the many eminent men en gaged by the committee's recommen dation was Charles Evans Hughes, whom no one ever accused of being a red lover. Hughes volunteered, un successfully, to act as counsel for the men and induced the New York City Bar Association to pass a resolution condemning expulsion of the Social ists because of their political and eco nomic beliefs. Nevertheless, by over whelming votes and in defiance of all principles of constitutional govern ment, to say nothing of consider ations of common decency, the men were kicked cut of the Legislature. Another product of the Lusk com mittee was a sheaf of hysterical leg islation, providing among other things, that members of political parties would be ineligible for pub lic office in New York State if the principles of such parties were found by court decisions to run counter to the principles of the United States Government. Gov. Smith vetoed the bills. Two other Lusk bills of ob jectionable character were signed by Gov. Miller, Smith's successor. In Smith's successful campaign of 1922 against Miller, the former strongly attacked the measure and. after he took office, they were repealed. It begins to look as though the his tory of the Lusk committee were to be repeated by the Fish committee. If so, it means we are in for another long siege of attacks upon free con stitutional government. That they will be repulsed in the long run we feel confident. Still, it does seem a waste of time and money for a con gressional committee to go about fighting windmills and conjuring up bogies, especially when so many really important problems are press ing solution. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: IN THE 0G0P0G0 SEASON Some fishermen had a narrow es cape the other day on a Canadian lake when their boat was upset by a fierce ogopogo, as they said the beast was called. Specific description of the monster is lacking. But one gath ers that it was like a whale in bulk and hade enormous tentacles for an arms corps of octopi. There will be no excursion of scientists to the re mote lake, however, for the savants have learned that hot weather in variably brings out the sea serpents and other henchmen of the ogopogo gang. A sea captain any of these sizzling days is likely to report ex citedly that somewhat off the coast he bumped into a great spiny crea ture half a mile long with wings like a pterodactyl s, long purple horns and a horse's head the size of a bungalow, emitting steam from its nostrils and shieking like a fire chief's siren. When this news ar rives, the scientists will glance at the thermometer, sigh reminiscently and go right on studying the para sites of the amoeba. :o: Disabled World War veterans who are employed under Civil Service to day were permitted in an executive order issued by President Hoover to take unlimited leave without pay to obtain medical treatment. Under present regulations Government em ployees are always one month's sick leave and are subject to discharge for further absence.

Any Time Any Place Call 199 SECRET OF CHLOROPHYLL An officer of the General Motor company has donated S50,000 to An tioch college for research study of chlorophyll, the green coloring mat ter of plants. Scientists believe, in a general way, that this greening cre ation, from such it appears by its growth to be, contains the secret of vegetable life. Chlorophyll is that velvety green, resembling short, soft moss, which grows as if from nothing in wet or damp soil which light and heat alter nate with shade and coolness. You have seen it often in places where there is no other sign of vegetation; at the bottom or on the undulations of a pond; if the city reservoir is not covered, you may see it there. The quality of chlorophyll is sup posed to be of even greater effect than the soil in giving life to vegetable matter. Scientists hope to find out that it is the creative element in plants. All that is surmised so far from indications is that it is the re sult of chemical interplay between light and heat, or both, and damp ness or colorneas. or both. But we cannot help thinking that the germ is inherent in the earth wherever this chemical action takes place and brings chlorophyll into existence. :o: The beautiful girl who was rescued from drowning in Kansas by a hap pily married man calls it a tough break.
