number addresses on letters has be
come such a drag on the postal serv
ice that Assistant Postmaster General
Bartlett has begun a general cam

| j New York Methods#
§I . i
j i New York.—The only criipae to be;
found today on St. Thomas, Virgin;
Islands, is the salary paid to the po
lice commissioner. At least when he
arrived here on the Colombian liner i
Haiti, he said “it was a crime to take!
| the money.”
j ) The commissioner of police for St.,
Thomas is M. J. Nolan, former cap
tain in the New York police depart-;
ment, in charge of the West Thirtieth
street station. New York methods -
have put the damper on St. Thomas’,
intentions to support home industries
and have its own little crime wave. *
j “There'isn’t a crook*of any kind ini
St. Thomas,” Commissioner Nolan said!
upon his arrival. “It has become so
quiet down there that I’m ashamed to;
go around and collect my salary.”'
In order not to feel guilty o< a ;
holdup, Commissioner Nolan said he!
, waits for them to send liis salary to
him.
On a visit to the Virgin' Islands six
years ago to see nis son. Dr. Roger i
Nolan of St. Croix, h> told St. Thomas' j
oflieials of New York’s methods of'.i
cleaning up the underworld. At the !
time pickpockets, thieves and' holdup i j
men had an open season all; year;
round. The officials extended! an in
vitation to Captain Nolan to' apply'
these methods.
He came, he saw,, he established a 1
dead-line, bought new uniforms for the
40 members of the police force and
In two weeks the crime wave disap-,
peared like a marcel in hot weather..
The only trouble left to the. police,
Commissioner Nolan said, “I that
neither my force nor I have anything
to do.”

Crop Area Falls Off
els Population Gains
Washington.—For the first time in
history there bus been a decrease in
the crop area of the United States.
Despite a marked increase in popu
lation, there was a reduction in thei
last live years of 19,000,000 acres in
the area of harvested crops, the De
partment of Agriculture has disclosed
in an analysis of the agricultural cen
sus statistics. Notwithstanding the
decrease, the crop area still is suffi
cient, in the opinion of department
experts, to maintain a large volume
of agricultural exports.
The 19,000,000 acres have reverted
to pasture or have been allowed to, lie
idle, the cause being attributed
chiefly to t!:** agricultural depression
of the last five years.
Largely as a result of the war-time
prices, about 40,000,000 acres of pas
ture land were plowed up and put into
crops between 1909 and 1919. and
about 5,000,060 acres of forest land
cleared for crops. Nearly half of tills
total, experts believe, was used to
meet the increased European demand
for foodstuffs. Owing to t!»fc extraor
dinary demands of the war period, the
acreage of crop land in 1919 was near
ly ten years ahead of what had been
the previous rate of expansion rela
tive to increase of population.
A .
Plotted Path of the
Hurricane by Radio
Washington.—The use of the radio
compass in plotting the course of a
storm has been revealed by an experi
ment made during the recent hurri
cane which swept the West Indies and
the coast of Florida, according to a
statement from the Navy department.
Lieut. E. H. Kincaid, navigator of
, the navy transport, Kittery, plotted
the hurricane by taking' bearings
while the ship was on the way from
Port Au Prince, Haiti, to St. Thomas.
Virgin Islands. lie took the hearings
of the point of heaviest static and
from this data computed the center
of the sweeping storm. Checking this
with later weather reports, he found '
he had accurately plotted the path
of the hurricane.
