“ALBERTA POETRY YEAR BOOK
—1932—33”
An Anthology, Compiled by D.
Walter Thompson, President,
Edmonton Branch, Canadian Au
thors Association, 10005 85th
Ave. Edmonton, Alberta, Can.
* * *
Presumably each year, the Edmon
ton Branch of the Canadian Authors
Association, hold a poetry contest for
the encouragement of Alberta’s young
poets, and the “Alberta Poetry Year
Book—1932.33, the third of its kind,
contains the prize winning poems of
their last contest.
* * *
As poets usually do, they select
themes about which they are the
most familiar and which affect them
the most, and thus the various poetic
effusions are built around pertinent
bits of scenery, places, and topics, in
cluding the weather, seasons and
some of nature’s grandeur. all of
which are familiar not only to the
poets but to all who are, more or less,
acquainted with conditions in the pro
vince of Alberta.

“CRIMES AND CRIMINALS”
by William A. White, M. D.
(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.

“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.

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.

Thanks to Murl DeFoe, editor of
the Charlotte Republican-Tribune, for
sending me a supply of “reprints” ^
on an article he recently wrote after
visiting me in company with Frank

of State^ Now I can let each of my

From San Jose, California, A. L.
Batchelor of the Rosicrucian Brother

“***Your article entitled, “Paid in
Full”, released February 27th, is
wonderful, and I certainly hope this
article is brought to the attention of
many persons who will be influenced
and will see the need of releasing one
who has completed and paid in full
his debt to society.***”

A little tragedy! A little over a
year ago, a Tennessee reader, offered
me the use of their country home, for
the balance of my life, in which I
could read and write to my heart’s
content. A letter arrives during the
week and while the correspondent
escaped the tornado, they did not es
cape losing thousands of dollars, their
life’s earnings, in a bank crash. My
