GOING BACKWARDS? Thoughtful iieoply must U struck --and saddened by the current news dealing with crime. For a time the compelling fact was more increase in the number of criminal acts. Later events are tending to show that the character of the deeds of violence is changing la a manner that cannot but startle the balanced mind. In recent crime news there is evidence of a degeneration which must astound. Crime is something more than a simple violation of the legal code when it deEcenda into such depths. We who have Ions prided ourselves upon the fancied difference between the people of our country and those of older nations have been given something to think about that s worth while. The criminal brutality dernonet rated by proofs of flegeneracy hitherto foreign to our records cannot be blinked at. Whether we have touched the right causes may be matter for doubt. But there is not the least question that we are swinging far from our old mental landmarks. But in making a brief survey of the difference between the new and the old-fashioned psychology the discriminative' observer reea much more than a mere difference in the degrading character of the acts of the criminal-minded. He sees a startling change In mentality everywhere. If among the changes he notes a cold-blooded indifference to old standards of the value rf human life. he. may set that down as merely incidental. Kor he has only to plot out his observation a to see that mental operations are Indifferent among all men and women and even children. The American mind is no linger what it was when the generation just passing off the stage held as its breath of civic life. The obi code has gone. If we are startled now by the difference we may look for other changes that may develop into permancies, the reverse of what was cn-p a rule of conduct. But at the moment the amazing thing which eommands attention Is the degeneracy apparent in the acts of crime. With that perched upon the topmost point mere crime increase becomes secondary.

PROTECTION FOR THE GENEROUS. Rev. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, reformer, savs that promoter and solicitors of many "ami" societies have mulcted thousands of dollars from people sared by futurist paintings of dreadful laws." and kept a good deal of the money. Probably he is right. The bind Is full of gullible people. But not all of Them aro erals" who empty their purse3 to fight "blue laws" that threaten only In the minds cf the collectors. Americans are such free givers to all kinds of causes that they may be victimized right and left, often though not dishonestly, by people actually concerned for conferring benefits on the needy of one kind or another. A stop should be put to haphazard movements calling for money donations. They are fruitful of waste and extravagance and sometimes of graft. There can be no more legitimate objection to an organiiation to combat "blue laws" than to one to promote thera People who support either are entitled to protection ngainst predatory beings who capitalize the fears or the hopes of citizens to their own benefit.

ATTACKING MT. EVEREST A British expedition has set out from India toward Thibet with the hope of being ablo to climb Mt. Everest, the tip-top point of the earth. If plans do net miscarry and the goal sought is not impossible of attainment, before the summer is ended the hitherto unsealed peak may have been surmounted by man. '- white man has ever been within 50 miles of the mountain. All that la known about it is what has been gained by observing it from a distance. It may present obstacles that are insuperable but some adventurers are going to try to reach the top. Just as the Poles lured dating and ambitious explorers until their mysteries were revealed so Mt. Kvercst stands as a challenge to men. It is known that the summit cannot be reached without encountering many obstructions, but the more difficult the pursuit the greater the desire to attain success. Were the mountain easy of ascent, gaining the top would Involve no distinction. The expedition may not be able to fulnll its hopes, but at least It ehcuid be able to add to the Information of the character of the mountain and that uiay aid some future explorers. The Poles were not reached until many attempts had been made. It may be likewise with Kverest, but that the effort in made "ffers hope that in time the mountain will be conrjueiud. The sides of the mcuntaln, precipitous as they may be, are by no means the main obstruction to the ascent. Few persons have been at an altitude equal to the summit o the mountain, and such were provided with oxytren tanks, to reinforce the air for breathing. The expedition will need similar equipment and carrying it will augment the effort. Man ecu Id not live in the varified atmosphere of the summit unaided by an oxygen supply. This phase may prove the insurmountlsidnhle difficulty should other obstructions be swept

side. ' J Though the expedition may not succeed it is going j

.ci try. and that is essential to u'timate success. Without a trial, perhaps repeated many times, here is nothing gained. Everest may bid defiance to num. but man is going to put the burden of proof on the mountain. If it is untcalable the mountain must prove it. While it is recognized that the obstacles are great, who rvould dare say the attainment of the goal is Imposslple vhen so often has the impossible been made possible?

Another historic J;;c"tintr ship of the U. S. navy has erved its last in the interest of progress in naval warfare. 'Die historic battleship Alabama sank off Larigier Island, Va., in the Lhesapeak Hav, recently, after beinR struck amidships by a two thousand pound bomb from an army plane living overhead". The bombing, which was done iz&e in the afternoon, recjuired light so the aviators were forced to drop phosphorous bombs first.

CHATS WITH YOUR GAS MAN The upper oven La your g range is for baking and roasting the lower oven is for roiling. The same burners heat both ovens you can bake and broil at the same time with the same consumption of gas. After use, the oven doors sbjould be left partly open to permit free circulation of air while the oven is cooling. This will prevent your oven from rnsting. A little oil ( or grease in which there is no salt) applied with a brush or piece of soft cloth, will also prevent just. Yon can greatly prolong the usefulness otf your gas range by keeping all parts clean of dut and grease and by going over them with a cloth and stove oil. You need not remove the oven burners to clean them. You can go over them occasionally with a stiff brush. And if the holes to the air mixer or oven burners become clogged with dust or grease, clean them with a piece of wire. Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. The current increased discrepancy lu foreign ex-

thange is giving Europeans an advantage over us iu ! South America that will be difficult to overcome in the j future. Trade reports from Argentina, for example, i picture the Hermans and Belgians underselling Auieri- j

cans to such an extent that our goods have no chance of bing distributed. The cuts under American prices range from 20 to 75 per cent. While the greater part of this may be due to lower cost' r f production, a good share of it is to be accounted for by exchange rates highly fuvrable to United States currency. As long is this condition continues South Americans will prefer European goods and the longer they use them the more confirmed will become that preference. Many American branch houses have been closed ;ind unsalable goods' are being returned to the United states. This must be regarded as unfortunate, for it constitutes something- of an abandonment of a field that should be ours. In some quarters it is. believed that local conditions are chiefly 'responsible for the decline of business In which we are interested . If this were a reasonable conclusion energetic American business men hardly would permit theselvee to be driven away. But now it appears that they are at a disadvantage which promises to be insurmountable for a leng time. The South Americans are buying some foreign goods, but United States houses find it impossible ta sell. Obviously we have a stake in the rehabilitation of exchange and the restoration of the rest of the world to normal, if the victory of Europeans over us in South America is not to be extended.

IT MIGHT not be wise to contradict William G. McAdoo when he says we ard facing a hard winter. It will be recalled that he said he wasn't a candidate, and it took only a few ballots to prove he knew what he was talking about.
