Notorious Kidnaper of Other Days Says Nation Is "Sleigh riding to Perdition." urn in DRASTIC ACTION IS NEEDED Interact* Mak*? Profit of $10,000? 000 a Year?Habit la Increasing ???. Stertlty "antf Enormously. Washington.?Twenty years ago, If Fat Crowe luul boon unwlae enough to appear uny where in Wusldngton, much lean at the ofllce of the head of the department of Justice, as he did re cently to interview the attorney gen eral, they would have grabbed him and put him away for 100 years or so. in those days Patrick was about the most wanted fugitive anywhere on the face of the globe. On his bead was a price of $50,000 and there was no stipulation attached to the reward re garding the condition of thfe said Crowe when delivered f. o. b. Dead or alive it was all the aanie to Justice. iloldup man, gun fighter, bank thief, train robber and kidnaper. Fat Crowe was a live-minute egg in the cafeteria of crime. Phyalcafly powerful, his unusually intelligent mind and his recklessness made him a particularly dungerous person. He put a mansard roof on his career when he kidnaped the Cudaby boy, son of the meat packer, and separated the mliiionafre from $25,000 in gold coin as ransom. All of that lies back in the fast dim ming past, back in the thickening shadows. Pat 'Crowe is a very differ ent sort of person nowadays. The black hair lias turned snow white?as white as the "snow" he denounces with the tire and fury of his Celtic temperament?and there are half a hundred tiny wrinkles crossing and criss-crossing the pink expanse of his good natured face. H?? Spiritual Rebirth. His physical strength hasn't wasted a great deal, and Pat would be a mean customer to handle In an Impromptu rough and tumble. The big change the whacking big metamorphosis, is In the innards of Patrick?a spiritual rebirth. The hard boiled egg and recklew criminal of 1902 is the gentle, self-ordaihed reformer of 1922 tre mendously interested in saving' boys and young men from the vicious hubits he sees increasing every day. "Sleighridlng to hell," says Pat Crowe, meaning that the drug habit is Increasing steadily and enormously for "sleighridlng" is one of the pic turesque words in the argot of the dope lif-nd. It is good, sound, logical s'ang, built oa constructive rules that Lindley Murray or Brander Matthews could scarcely sniff at (no ptln in tended). For in this singular argot "enow" means the "dope," the drug; for heroin, morphine and cocaine are as white as the driven snow and the I Biggest ion is simple and effective. When a purty of addicts meet to gether to whiff themselves Into ob livion the conceit has It that they are on a sleighing party, traveling smooth ly over the "snow." And it is this I frightful sleighridlng which will ruin the republic, asserts Pat Crowe, unless the government at Washington takes I hold with a strong hand. "There are 2,000,000 snow birds in Ithe United States to-day," says Pat referring to the documents he went over the other day with Attorney Gen I '"They spend between I (4,000,000 and $6,000,000 every day for I tlie dupe. There is no question but that the evli is spreading or that it will continue to spread. Spreads Crime Like Pestilence. "Back of the traffic is an interna tional ring, one or two of whose mem bers I could almost name, and they Ure served by hundreds of vicious tigenta, to whom human life is abso lutely less than nothing. They are I served by the cunning of serpents and I the cruelty of wolves. "1 he result is that the heads of the Isnow ring net something like $10,000, 1)00 a year proflt from the traffic in I he United States alone. This ring is backed by organized financial Interests. I Gvery day it spreads crime like a pestilence. For a price It deals out I agonized death. The heads of the snow ring are great* criminals thaD Judas IscarioL Their vendors are be Death the level of wldte slavers. I "Normal human beings have no Idea I whatever," Pat Crowe went on, ' of I what goes on in the dope circles of I New York or Chicago, among the big I cities, or in such peculiar communi ties as Hollywood, the motion pic [lure .-enter, where tliousunds live that I are half crazy from too much easy I money and too much notoriety, who have exhausted every normal sensa Itlon. But if the evil wes confined to I the cities it would not be so terrible to contemplate. ? "It Is no longer a city vice. It it spreading to the small cities and to (he country towns. This Is due in part to the returned soldiers, many of 11 whom had become accustomed to mor j I phlne or cocaine in the relief of suf fering from wounds. Some of It is due to t'i? temporaryftslt of young 11 tree? r ' ??iting votrtea. fhtr'ug ev Irfleu..n ir. tlx a no vi?? b ?t It Is tin* to tie deliberate effort of snow ring to extent Its field ef plum?l a corript tbe'smiul tow us u UUt big clUes 4U1VM M?B ,Vui?ODixl "Physician* lira m the pa, of the now ring.

Then a little muiyiiine may be recommended to overcome I nervous inability to sleep. Then heroin is introduced as 'something new and not so harmful as the old drugs,' and pretty soon another victim Is chained U the galleys. ~ ?1 "In the hrst place," fat Crowe con tinued, "1 recoinmtfe, at torney general. UmUvthere be a federal investigation ? congressional ? Into the drug evil in America. 1 find the government authorities impressed with the fscts and statistics that I laid be fore them. 1 think a resolution will be introduced in congress before long asking for an investigation. The next step will be corrective and construc tive. "It may be that the. government will, in the end, have to construct and maintain - sanitariums, one on the Pacliic coast, one on tha Atlantic coast, one on the Southwest coast, one in the Central States and one on the southeast coast or section, for curing the nation's drug addicts, thus making it more difficult fur the snow ring to extend its terrible traffic, a traffic tliui is actually and positively threatening the very bber of the nution's manhood. "1 have recommended to the United States government that a million farms of forty acres or less be provided by the government from what are now waste and unimproved lands, and that the government spend whatever is necessary to put these lands in shape for cultivation, and then offer them on long time and easy teruis to a million young men coining year by year into manhood.

Every year, it may in terest you to know, 400,000 persona, ! 100,000 of them neglected lads, are committed to various terms of im prisonment by the courts of this coun try?victims of economic conditions. "There is dire necessity of im [ mediate correctional methods before the crime or misdemeanor has been committed. Put the excess boys on farms. Encourage them. If neces sary use a little duress. Keep them In the open. Hake them produce. I Then the snow ring will lose Its re cruits and the vice will be stamped out as a Snake Is killed. "State reformatories are no good for correcting youths. They have failed to function for the good of society. Usu ally they inculcate vice rather than Implant virtue. The boy comes out worse, not better. Stfte and city in stitutions do not know how to treat and cure the drug hublt Usually they Increase the craving. "No; these reforms must be accom plished, like most other big things in these days, by the strong, efficient cen tral government. There is no other hope. "To get this done I have devoted my life. Before I die I want to see the snow ring ruined, its leaders rotting fa) jail and its agents shot down by policemen or sent away for long terras. I want to see federal farms in small plots offered to the American youth seeking opportunity and trem bling between vice and virtue. There are so many things I want to see?me, the old time crook." PARTY AFTER BURIED GOLD Americans Ask Costa Rica for Per mission to Visit Treasure Island." San Salvador, Salvador.?A party of American treasure-seekers has reached I San Jose, C'osta Rica, and applied to the government for permission to search for gold that is supposed to have been burled on Cocos island. This Island, 545 miles west south west of Panama, is the locale of Hob-' ert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure is land."

Bureau of Plant Industry Conducting Exportmonts In Florida to Da ta rmlno Fraaanco of Mongol Wuraol Seeds. (Praaarad kv tk* Unlt?? atataa Dapartmot of Aarinaltara.) Because of the heavy losses ex perienced by beet sugar companies daring the past two years through the presence of mangel wurxel, or stock beet seed tn the imported sugar-beet , seed, the bureau of plant Industry of ' the United States Department of Ag riculture Is making growing tests at samples of such seeds. The tests are being made In Florida In the open air. Lots of Imported seed have been sent by beet-sugar companies for test- ! Loading Boots for Shipmont to Factory at Owoooo, Mich. I lug. When any of these samples arc found to contain stock beet seed, the senders will be notified before plant ing time. Similar tests made in the green houses during the past year made pos sible the location of mixtures con taining stock beets of red, or orange colored varieties. It has been found that white-fleshed varieties of stock beets cannot be determined through germination tests alone but must be grown to a considerable slse before their distinguishing characteristics are discernible. That the heavy losses ex ix-rienced during the past two years due to this cause constitute a strong argument for the development of an American-grown supply of sugar-beet I seed, sufficient for the needs of our beet Industry,. Is the belief of the officials working on'the problem. DESTROY LAST YEAR'S PESTS Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalks and Burn Them?Ashes Make Good Fertiliser. In getting ready to make garden this spring, It is an excellent plan to see that all the stalks of last year's vege | tables which may have been left stand ing are removed and burned. In the first place the ashes will make good fertiliser as the stems of nearly all vegetables contain excellent ferti lizing material In their ash. and an even more important consideration is that by removing, and destroying them the Insect pests are likely to be checked. Many Insect pests find refuge under boards, among the dried leaves or stalks over winter. Often the spores of fungus diseases which create havoc are only waiting In these old stems to get into action with balmy weather. By burning the refuse a great quantity of them will be destroyed. PREPARING POTATO SEED BED ?elect Best Piece of Land and Put It In Good Shape?Clover Sod Is Excellent. It pays to have the potato ground In good shape. Select the best piece of ground you have. Ton are putting more money Into the seed than for any other farm crop and probably more Into the cultivation too, and so you should have the best land. Clover sod makes the best potato ground. Old blue grass sod is all right If plowed deep enough and worked up in good shape. Timothy sod is not good. Avoid fresh manure: It produces scab. PRODUCTS THAT PAY FARMER Profitable to Ralso Less Major Crops and Devote Mors Time to Poultry and Dairy. Rather than raise staple crops that cannot be sold at even cost of produc tion, It will be wise to devote less time to major farm crops ana more labor to preparing to increase poultry and dairy products. There seems to be at all times active demand for poultry and dairy products at prices that pay well for labor and Investment. FERTILIZER INCREASES YIELD However, It Does Not Correct Poor Preparation of Soli or Lack of Humus. Commercial fertilizer has increased yields and at a profit. But do not expect the fertilizer to take the place of poor preparation or lark of humus ! In the soil A good seedbed with snfll '?ien L .inus , are requirements for profitable returns OS commercial for tlllzer.
