' LAW REVISION TO CJMIME Plan as Used in East Is Recommended for Indiana. “Find the boy with no home, the girl with no mother; touch elbows with them and save the warden the painful duty some day of locking them in State institutions.” I This was the injunction sounded by Michael E. Foley Indiana State Prison trustee, in discussing crime londitions in Indiana before the InEianapolis Rotary Club at the Claypool Tuesday. “The crimes of tomorrow will be conunitteed by the boys and girls of today,” Foley declared. “They J will come from this very common- | wealth, uninfluenced, contrary to general belief, by the prison or reformatory.” Cites Crime Curb Factors L Factors necessary to curb crime Bn Indiana, Foley said, included: • u 1. Revision of the State’s crimpnal laws. 2. Prompt trial and speedy justice, without dilatory motions by defense attorneys. 3. Adoption of a probation plan similar to that in Massachusetts. 4. Wholesome influences thrown boys and girls lacking proper karental guidance. W “Today, 123 persons of every 100,■IOO in Indiana are in the State prison or reformatory,” said Foley, ■“as compared with 87 of every 100,|OOO in 1910. Boost for Probation “This condition Is better than in Ohio, but sadly worse than in Massachusetts, where, 57 out of every 100,000 in 1910 were in State prison or reformatory and today only 45 of every 100,000 are imprisoned.” . The improved showing in Massachusetts is due, Foley said, to adoption in 1878 of a “probation law providing for a non-partisan commission on probation, members of which are determined by civil service examination.” “It is far better to give the boy j probation for the first offense than i Pendleton or Plainfield,” he said. | Foley defended Indiana’s indeter- j minate sentence law, denying “it piakes it easy to get out of prison, as so many think.”

NEWSPAPERMEN HEAR NICHOLSON Author Addresses Fraternity of Journalists. Apathy of citizens toward matters of government was deplored by Meredith Nicholson, Hoosier author, before 100 Indiana newspaper men at the Sigma Delta Chi Fraternity's founders’ day dinner Tuesday night at the Lincoln. The dinner was under auspices of the Indianapolis chapter of the journalistic fraternity, in observance of the fraternity’s nineteenth birthday. Delegations from De Pauw, where the fraternity was founded; Purdue, Indiana and Butler Universities attended. “It is foolish to think a few crooked politicians are smarter than the worthwhile citizens. Twentyfive men could change the course of governmental affairs in Indianapolis if they would give the time and sacrifice,” Nicholson said. “Here lately they have been.” “We need an increasing high type of men in our positions of govern mental trust, because of the increasing complexity of the government,” said Nicholson. He stressed the part of newspapers in clean government. Dudley Smith of the News was elected alumni chapter president, succeeding John H. Heiney. Other officers: Jack Cejnar, International News Bureau manager, vice president, and Robert C. Anderson, the Star, secretary. James A. Stuart, managing editor of the Star, national president, brought greetings from the national body and outlined the fraternity’s program.

SPEAKS ON MUSSOLINI Pastor Says Cost of II Duce’s Prosperity Is Heavy. Mussolini’s rule has made Italy economically prosperous, but the price has been very heavy, Dr. F. S. C. Wicks, All Souls Unitarian Church pastor, told members of the Shortridge Parent-Teacher Association, Tuesday night. He talked on his visit to Italy, Austria and Czecho-Slovakia last year. “The Italians under Mussolini's rule are now enjoying order, efficiency and prosperity, but the price is very heavy,” Dr. Wicks declared. “All individuality has disappeared and every man is regarded as a means for production in the interest of the State. It appears that the Italians’ sudden repression will result in an equally violent reaction.” He asserted that in his opinion Europe generally is in the death throes or in the midst of being reborn.

Fake Skylight By United Press PRINCETON, N. J., April 18. Two Princeton University physicists believe they have solved the mystery of aurora borealis, one of nature’s most brilliant display ~ the cause of which has baffled scientists since the worlu began. Dr. Gunther Carlo and Dr. Joseph Kaplan reproduced the northern lights—at first by accident and then by a simple application of the rules of chemistry. They noticed that an electoral discharge into a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen would reproduce the aurora green spectrum line and aurora red spectrum line. They continued their experiments with better effect and hope to prove that aurora borealis is the result of the transference of. nitrogenic energy to oxygen.

VOTE APPEAL IS SENT TO FARMERS OF STATE Lewis Taylor in Message to Farm Bureau Members. Every Indiana farmer and his wife is asked “to quit work long enough May 8 to go to the polls and vote at the primary election” in an appeal sent Indiana Farm Bureau Federation members today by Lewis Taylor, director of the tax and legislative department. “To not vote means to leave our Government in the hands of irresponsible crooks and politicians,” said Taylor’s statement. “If the Statehouse at Indianapolis stinks, it’s because you will not help clean it. If the good name of Indiana has become a term of decision and reproach It’s because you have shirked a civic duty; if justice has become a mockery, it’s because of your indifference.” BILL POSTER IS NABBED When William E.
