NORMAL WOMAN
Chief of Nebraska Compen
sation Writes Caustic Let
ter to Dorothy Martin
Lincoln, Neb.. ^Special*—
The mails to Wayne Normal today
carried a caustic letter from J. H.
Jeffrey, chief of the state bureau of
compensation, to Miss Dorothy Mar
tin, a member of the faculty, which
told her that site should mind her
own business, and not attempt to tell
the daughter of J. E. Dennis, aged
fireman at the school, that she was
not within her rights when she asked
the bureau for an award for injuries
sustained by him while on duty.
The daughter had written the bu
reau for information, and complained
of the treatment given her father in
being docked for Illness and being
discriminated against in that he was
never given a vacation. The letter
was published in part in the newspa
pers. Miss Martin thereupon wrote
a sharp letter to the daughter, tell
ing her that her original letter was
tactless and uncalled for, that her
father didn't deserve anything, that
his work was worthless and that if she
had gone to the superintendent,
where she should, she would have se
cured a right adjustment, and chided
her for seeking "some cheap adver
tising."
Mr. Jeffrey is equally caustic. He
advises Miss Martin that the case
comes under the bureau’s Jurisdiction,
that she is assuming too much and
going outside the scope of her em
ployment in advising a claimant as
to what she should or should not do.

tends to her own Job she will not be

ROOSEVELT IN
NEBRASKA TALK
Says Farm Problem Among
Big Ones for America
to Solve
Lincoln, Neb., OJP>—Cor
ruption in politics, the farm problem, j
prohibition and proper support for /
the army and navy were issues which I
Col. Theodore Roosevelt told an au- )
dience in Memorial hall, University l
of Nebraska, today, must be squarely 1
faced by the American public at tills
time.
-•'The nation’s period of rest and re- '
cuperation following the World war
is past and the United States must
face certain issues squarely," Roose
velt said. "Idealism in Politics” was
his subject. He was honored at a
luncheon at noon and attended a
district meeting of the American
Legion this afternoon.
Without attempting to offer a solu
tion. Colonel Roosevelt said that
something is wrong with the farm
situation in this country. He said
the farmer is not getting Just re
turns from his labor, not to speak of
capital invested. The reason farm
legislation has not been passed, he
said, is because people are afraid of
any great change in the economic
system.
"We must face the problems of
prohibition and corruption in poli
tics squarely," the colonel said. “Big
business should not control the
government; it should be run by the
rank and file."
Roosevelt cautioned against need
lessly cutting down strength of the
army and navy. "The services stand
to this country as a police force to a
great city,” he said, “and those who
want to diminish them are sincere
but wrong-thinking pacifists and the
tax slackers who would lose the ship
for a ha'penny worth of tax." "What
we are concerned with," he conclud
ed, “is the legacy to our children.
By far the most important bequest
we can make them Is a fine country
in which to live."

Woman Gains Fame for
Ability to Care for
Creepy , things
London.—London's “snake woman”
Is getting quite a reputation for her
ability to care for "creepy” things.
She is Miss Joan Procter, curator
of reptiles at the London zoo, and
the designer of the new' reptile house,
just opened to the public.
Ine Influence of Miss Procter is
seen in many features of the new
Section. The visitor walks from a
typical London drizzle into synthetic
^ sunlight on rocks electrically heated
* to 110 dcg:*'s. The purpose of the
heated spots is to lure the reptiles
into portions of the enclosure where
they may best be seen by visitors.
The stone work forming the rows
of snake dens is shaped so as to serve
as "snake furniture.” There are lit
tle cubby-holes in w'hich the pythons
coil themselves, and roughened up
right tree stump to enable them to
climb nearer the artificial sun. In
the dens for desert snakes cacti have
been imported from America. The
dens are kept at an equable temper
ature of 80 degrees.
Zoo attendants say the reptiles!
have shown pleasure in their new j
surroundings. *

Governor Smith’s Plan.
Prom Time.
The Crime commission of New York
state (Caleb H. Baumes, chairman)
has wrought upon United States
penal codes the most signal changes
of the decade. The Baumes grading
of punishments for repeated felonies,
topped off by life imprisonment for
a fourth conviction regardless of de
gree, has been the model for tight
ened laws in many a state- The the
ory underlying the Baumes code is
that crime is disease, that habitual
criminals are chronic patients.
Gov. Alfred Emanuel Smith of New
i York appeared before the Baumes
commission and elaborated Its theory
of crime still further. He made sug
gestions which, if adopted, will con
stitute a departure almost as notable
in criminology as was the substitu
tion of vaccine for leeches in the
treatment of smallpox.
Governor Smith proposed that the
New York Crime commission be em
powered to:
1. —Take away from the judges the
function of sentencing convicts.
2. —Assign that function to a board
of specialists—psychiatrists. crime
students—whose salaries would be
commensurate with the responsibility
reposed in them. Governor Smith
proposed $25,000, per annum each, the
figure to which New York has just
raised its chief executive’s pay.
Psychiatry has become a resort of
criminal defense. Sometimes it is
invoked falsely, in desperation; some
times honestly, with justice. .Judges
invariably require expert advice when
scientific evidence is introduced. The
Smith plan would require Judges to
conduct trials. Juries to find guilt or
innocence, experts to make punish
ments fit crimes. Designed to pro
mote accuracy, the plan would make
for harshness quite as often as tor
leniency. "The power of the Judge
to sentence to death has done more
than anything else to prevent convic
tions for murder in the first de
gree," Oovernor Smith pointed out.
If properly constituted, a sentencing
board could attach rehabilitation
measures toAhe penalties it assigned.
Ita edicts Would range from order
ing minor surgical operations, and
rest cures, to the insane asylum and
the electric chair.
The Snvth plan advocated no tarn*
