(Farrar & Rinehart, 9 E. 41st St., New York) * * » Having had nearly twenty years personal contact with crimes and criminals (from an inside knowledge) perhaps the best tribute I can pay | this book, “Crimes and Criminals”, is that Dr. White, the author, cer | tainly knows his facts. Perhaps I should further explain that in making j this statement, usually, the books I have read, dealing with crimes and j criminals, for the most part, have ! be°n written by those whose know ledge, seemingly, has been a glossary or superficial nature. '* * * While the book contains fourteen chapters, briefly, I would say that it is divided equally in two parts. The first part, although rather dry read ing, explains the science of psych iatry, particularly in its application te crimes and crimnals. * * * The last half of the book actually apples psychiatry to present day pen ological conditions; citing definite examples; describing the weakness, both in theory and practice, in the manner of handling most prisoners, especially in those states whose pris ons are still controlled by the old fashioned hit and miss political sys jtem; and explains in a very clear and logical manner the benefits that can be accomplished for both society and prisoners^ by the further establish-1 ment of psychiatric principles and application in the treatment of crim. es and ‘criminals. * * * “Crimes and Criminals” will appeal not only to active sociological work ers but to all thinkers who seek facts, constructive criticisms, and convinc- j ing and logical theories on the sub ject of crimes and criminals. —Clifford C. Mitchell. “REVEALING” YOUR PAST . PRESENT FUTURE by Abbe’ Wallace “YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMERICAN STAGE” E. R. J.—Our house got destroyed by | | fire not long ago, how did it happen ? ; j Ans: Just another unfortunate acci dent. This fire started in the chim. ney. j A. H. —The lady next door is sus. j ! picious of the girl that stays here with me. She thinks this girl to be j in love with her husband ? Ans: Ridiculous, the young lady in question has enough boy friends with out robbing your neighbor’s husband. They are nothing more than friends and will never be anythirig to one an other. S. F. D.—Please tell me my birth date? Ans: Your birthday appears to be in the f^ll of 1871, September the 10th, I think is correct. ' J. M. T.—Will my brother who is suf fering with his leg. recover his strength ? Ans: Not for some time. His condi tion appears to be chronic, and it will be some time before he regains his complete health. C. L. F.—Why did the young man in Walla, Walla, Washington, stop writ ing me? Ans: The>young man in question was a convict in a prison. He got out on parole Christmas. I think you would do best to put him out of your mind as a certain young man in your home town loves you and will marry you soon. R. D.—I am very much worried. I lost the bill of sale for my car and must sell at once as I have a man who will pay me a good price, but will not purchase my car unless I find bill of sale. I have no way of getting another dplicate as I bought “ this car in the far west. Please help me. Ans: Upstairs in the attic of your home your wife has placed away a pile of old books. Among these is an old Bible. If you will look on page 64 Book of Genesis, you will find this document. Do not blame your wife for this error as the fault is all yours. Keep such papers in a strong box for safety. — J. D.—When will I get a position, and would it be wise for me to run an ad in the paper? Ans: An excellent idea. If you do, however, I advise you to run this ad every two weeks and to make sure it is worded differently from the ordin ary ad. You will learn of a job through this ad that will be well worth your time and trouble. Mrs. L. F. D.—I want fo adopt some little orphan girl as I am alone and very lonely, I am a mother of two grown boys who are both married, I have always prayed for a girl but was never blessed with one. Tell me in your way what you think. Ans: God bless you my dear woman, if only there were more people on this earth with a heart as big as yours it would be a paradise. If you do this your future will be filled with happiness. I suggest however that you take a little girl under the age of six as you can then mold her char acter and bring her up as one of your own. V. M. S.—Will my baby’s daddy come back to me? Ans: I am afraid you will have to make the best of it without him, al though I see many happy years a head for you and the baby. L. D.—Is my father dead or alive, and is he it 11 in the same city? Ans: Your father is very much alive, and this takes me to a large city in the north. ' ... 1 — ” ' .- ..

INDEPENDENT VOTERS L’GE Mustering its full force for the final days of the city primary elect ion campaign, the Independent Vot ers league, its backers believe was still among the foremost on Omaha’s political stage with three days ago before primaries. On Tuesday the voters will be call ed on to go to the polls and to dig through a record ballot of 91 names. The huge list of prsons seeking of fice undoubtedly will confuse the vot ers but the number of persons seeking public office is also seen as a point in favor of such tickets as that en dorsed by the Independent Voters League. An extensive newspaper, radio and personal campaign has placed the names of these men before the public as uncompromising foes of gang and machine politicians and as for a sub stantial reduction in taxes. Roy N. Towl is conceded by most of the political guessers a first or second postiion in the primaries. His popularity gained through a three year battle on behalf of honesty in the city hall will probably swing thousands of votes to those associat ed with him. The plea is being made by workers that only by electing men in sympathy with Towl can the vot ers be assured the kind of good gov ernment he represents. Frank Frost, who just failed to win in the election three years ago, is expected to come in among the leaders Tuesday. “This and That.... , by CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL * * * Sidney A. Jones, writing in his col umn, “As Some See It”, in the Bee, says: ***A writer generally writes for the love of it, and is happier when following his line.***” • * * That’s why I’m happy whenever I’m writing. And it also explains why I was glad to read the current issue of.the Gary American. Sor in it they used “This and That”, making it the second paper to do so. Of course, many other papers may have used it but I won’t see their “exchanges” un til Monday night—and this is writ ten on Sunday. * * * Just seeing it in that one paper though, the first week it was sent out nationally, is quite a contrast with efforts of a few years ago. At that time it took me eight long months of continual writing from one paper to another before I could get a single one to use “Digesting the News”. * * * Incidentally, the Gary American, was the fourth paper to use “Digest I ing the News” and the contacts I | made then are exceedingly valuable J now. Frank Marshall Davis was then with the Gary American. Now he is j managing editor of the Atlanta Daily World and the SNS. String of forty odd papers, and uses practically all of my weekly features. * * * Chauncey Townsend, now of Los j Angeles, was also connected with the ! Gary American in those early days. And from this contact my writings have been introduced and given wide publicity in southern California. * * * Each week I shall describe and ex plain the cooperation received from the publishers and editors as I record their use of this personal column. * * * Albon L.
