Gossip of Staff Carespa'dadS at World Centers i\ population ^ .... international News Service.) n;, w York.—Whether or not the jj.’Iln,i. law, which imposes life immisomiient on a person con vi.ti.i a fourth time on a felony charge, i too drastic, continues to he an agitating question today. Aj-m„si daily some prisoner or other appears in court ebargdd with ;ln offense that borders on the misdemeanor-felony line and bnre )v mils into the latter category, ,'dmits three former convictions, aml hear himself exiled to behind prison walls for the remainder of },is earthly existence Yot infrequently such cases bring from the sentencing judge, who has no alternative under the Eaumcs law, a public declaration that the provisions of this statute too harsh. Such an instances arose recently when Bert N. Gar den, 41, was doomed to life im prisonment by Judge Levine on a bad check charge. For twelve years Garsten, an ex-convict, had steadily climbed the “straight and narrow” path, a tremendous up-hill journey for one who has worn prison stripes. His "come hack” attained its peak when he became business manager of a prominent Louisville, Ky., newspaper. Then, last February, he suffer ed a moral lapse and persuaded a member of a brokerage firm here to endorse a $300 check on a Louisville bank which was return ed for lack of funds. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Aurelio, who prosecuted Garsten, joined with Judge Levine in stating in court .that they be lieved the law too drastic in this case. The jury that convicted him re commended mercy; newspaper ex ecutives, advertising men and friends in various parts of the country made a concerted plea for clemency; but lie admitted pro ous convictions from 1904 to 1912 in Evansville, Ind., Rochester, Cleveland, Boston, Baltimore and Buffalo, and i.he court finding it obligatory to classify Garsten as a fourth offender, was compelled to sentence him to life imprison ment. John Schultz, 53, is back in Tombs prison today, probably to spend the rest of his life behind the bleak walls—from choice, not J compulsion.

Several months ago lie was a moderately prosperous business man, operating an employment agency with his partner, William hraemer.

Girls The World Over Are Like Our Blase American Flappers f(By Fred .1, Walker, INS S uff Correspondent.) Chicago. —- Adolescent;' t h e whole world over have been hi'tip 'by the* American flapper-sheik bup: according to Stanley Hath, who has just completed a globe .circling tour under the auspices of the Methodist I!ook concern. I “Wherever I went—India, Afri ca. China. Malaysia—I found groups of girls who were regular 'American flappers," Hugh said, i “Their native dress and retiring M^ays were absolutely forgott- n and they proudly wore daring for eign clothes, the latest make-up and the most blase manners right under the disapproving noses of their parents. “As for the young men, any where from the 'teen age to 25 or 30 years old, what they do in the next 25 years will probable change the history for the non-white races land of the world. Their, adoption I of modern dress and manners is I ns striking as that of their girl friends.” In keeping with the change in customs avi manners is the new nationalistic outlook of the voting- j er generation Chinese, Indian? 1 end other Asiatics, according to j Hugh. “If the white people of the earth do not learn how to cooper ate with the other races,” ho said, j “they are soon going to conic in J active conflict with them and1 while we think we could lick any body on earth, we niav get a ter rific surprise in that, line. \ “The yellow, hlac-k and brown j races far outnumber the -White and with what they have learned ; about fighting and with their own | terrible courage and determina- j t ion. they could probably oven-! iually overcome even our scienti fic methods of warfare. i “They don't want to bow and 'crape to the white people and the day is fast approaching when they j won’t do it.” Eighteifch Birthday For Mrs. Hughes (Special to The Star.)
