:''{' TWO CRIME EXPERT | CITES CAUSES) I Prohibition Placed at Ton of I.M by Elcad <?i i hicago Commission. Alien (Jrou|)s Are Also Responsible for Troubles. Chicago.?Criminal tendencies are produced by nine major causes, in th.1 opinion of Frank J. Loescli, president of the Crime Commission here. Prohibition and dishonesty in finance are responsible for a major number of violations, according to "Loesch. who a lso is a member '?f: President Hoover's commission on law ? nforcenient. He blamed the former! ror f.t lejtst a t'curth of all law infractions. hoosch, SO-year-old lecturer of the Northwestern Law School, said he hod cached hfs conclusions from "personal experience, wide reading and information which came to me in my several official capacities," fit? Cure He regarded the cute in each ease "not so difficult to pat forth as Tiresome to carry out." l.oesch listed crime causes as follows: 1. Largely unassimulated immigrants from eastern and souihaestern Europe. 2. Slum districts in larger cities. .1, The 18th Amendment and prohibition laws. 4. Incompetent, corrupt and politician-ridden police. 5. The automobile. ?. Dishonesty in high finance. 7. Incompetent and inefficient prosecutors. S. The negro law-breaker. t'. Decline of religion and authority. Allen Groups "Allen groups not familiar with our language and the principles of l.ui" government have given rise to a problem that requires teaching of clean politics and the guidance of immigrants toward citizenship." "Loesch said. As "cures" for crime, he cited better housing, lower rents, clean streets and " breathing places" with eradication of slums. He blamed prohibition as a major crime breeder and lie'd it responsible for demoralization of laws. "A nonnanent independent police chief and detectives with scientific crime fighting equipment and a. secret staff attached to the chief ar.d unknown to the regular force'* were recommended by Doosoh as an effective moihod of fighting; crime waves. c ? ! iucoiitutc uuiit; rucr Aided by A1 Smith New York.?Now York, sidewalks and all. which looked pretty harsh a few days ago, was "uhe same kind ol'Jr-City IT"iit?

A year ago he lost his job, his money ran out t>yo weeks ago and he was found to be destitute with an aged sister and a blind brother on his hands. Mnmer Governor Smith reached fur a telephone when he read about it. William II. Matthews, director of the family welfare department of the association for iferoproving the conditions of the poor, assured the former governor ill-1 everything possible would be done. The need..* of the family were provided u?r the next two .weeks, and l.Uakv learned that both he and his sister w eligible for old age pensions of $?b tL month each. He hadn't known that.

An elephant named Siam. brought by Xapoleon I .from Eyypt. still lives in the Budapest Zoo. The Frnech emperor took Siam back with him *o Pari?, but it was such a wild animal that it was a source of constant trouble, and. actuated probably by relief as much a? by generosity. Napoleon presented the elephant. to his father-in-law. Franz J, of Austria. When it arrived In Vienna it showed that it had not mended it* manners and it was sent ?..> the Hungarian capital, where it has 1'ved ever slnce.

T. Barnum's "Original Siamese Twins"' to the backwbods for "wedlock with the Yates sisters. The girls were reared there and just as they reached maturity, along came the twins to Woo and wed thorn in the ancestral home. There Is nothing to distinguish it from any num ber of like dwellings in the community and few. save the old residents. re aware the Oriental circus freaks, weary of world tours and public curiosity. found it the focus of domesticity with rural maidens. The brothers were famous tlie world over because they were joined tupetIter at /the breast bones. What led them to setitlo down as farmers in n primitive country was something their "e!fohl>ors never fully understood. Being Orientals, they didn't go to a grea: i deal of trouble explaining, but they' did lot the word got out that they had I saved SS0.000 and desired quietude I far from Rarnum's spangles. The mountaineers liked them from i the start. They were industrious, rig- j idly Konost and showed a liking for the ni'iirhhoivHkid contorts. Hitherto, they had no names except Chang and Eng. Such hrevRy seemed a hit out of keeping from American citizens by virtue of naturalization, so the state legislature remedied matters by authorizing their, to adopt the surname of Bunker. There are still a few aged people in Wilkes County who recall something of t'heir domestic life after their marriage t.-? Sarah and Adelaide Yates in 18-13. They went in for farming in a big way and owned many stives. Children were born to the wife of each and for a time the two families lived as one household. After a while domestic complications arose, so Chang and Eng established two domiciles. alternately spending half of the week in one and half in the other. Finally thoy moved to the neighboring county of .Surry and bought farm? near Mount Air>. Emancipation of tire slaves just about ruined them financially and they were forced to duit their rural retreats for a time and go back to public exhibition*. En route home from L/iverpool. England, in August. 1870. Chang suffered paralytic stroke. He never regained his health, but 'he lingered on fbr four years. The night of January 16, 1874. he died of cerebi-Ll clot. The shock of waking to find his brother dca.l proved too much for Eng's feeble heart and he. too. died about two hours later. (Many of their descendants still reside in Wilkes and Surry Counties.

"A large per cent of those people entering the poultry game make failures of the .business due Chiefly to n luck of knowledge of fundamentals. Then, loo. new development is sometimes out of proportion for the local markets to consume or the existing facilities t?> move at fair prtcfes. rf a person has a dislike for birds, he should by all means slay but of pc'dlfrv production.'' Ai r. Dearstyne points out that poultry growing requires long hours of work and study; careful attention to detail and the ability to accept and overcome disappoint meritHowever, for the person determined--10 try poultry prod utiikni this year, the specialist suggests seven requirements. First, see the county! agent and go ovep the proposition carefully; second, select a definite objective without going into the business on too large a_ scale; third, get good baby chicks and be ready for them when they arrive: fourth, secure a local market for the product ir. advance: fifth, study the control of parasites and diseases; sixth, feed carefullyvtbut amply, and seven, subscribe to one or two good poultry magazines. By following these seven suggestions, Mr. Derastyne believes that failure will be k?pt at a. minimum.
