rod as a harbirger of hay fever and
a menace to health. Many will feel
that this lowly weed cannot be classed"
with cultivated flowers.
But the gclden-rod has points to
commend it. A symbol of fall, the
golden-rod br.ghtens the dying fields;
its waving fronds of yellow have giv
en inspiration to poet and painter.
Beauty, however, is not the reason for
its selection by Mr. Edison. Its prac
tical possibiKties have given the gold
en-rod value in the inventor’s esteem.
For the golden rod, more than any
other of the 15,000 plants, trees a,nd
shrubs, tested in his laboratories, has
shown the highest percentage of rub
ber. It grows prolifically—85 varieties
of it almost everywhere in the United
States. And its fair name is by way
of being cleared, also.
Scientists say hay fever is not caus
ed by golde:i-rod, but by its inconspic
uous little neighbor, the ragweed. The
modest golden-roi may yet become a
great benefactor to mankind and jus
tify the fai.h which has led Mr. Edi
son to include it among his favondte
flowers.
sity sociology department, who was
one of ^he first to conceive the idea of
the police school, emphasized that the
police, “too long a mere political
force,” are a social force also and are
achieving noteworthy results in locali
ties over the country, preventing
crime as well as apprehending crimi
nals. Preventive work must start with
the defective or delinquent child, and
here the policeman on his beat has a
wonderful opportunity, he pointed out.
“Theory and practice go hand in
hand,” Dr. Brooks declared, telling
the police that they need the best pos
sible training in their work. Dr.
Brooks pointed to the disastrous Chi-
chgo riot of 1919 as the direct cause of
unskilled, tactless police, and against
this the Larry Newsom case in Golds
boro two years ago when a North Car
olina sheriff, through tactfulness,
fearlessness and commoii sense aver, •
ed just such an occurrence.

Chapel Hill, N. C., Aug. 22.—Quot
ing figures to show that crime cost
the United States $12,983,000,000 in
one year, recently. Judge J. R. Patton,
of Durham, declared before the uni
versity’s police school here today that
“we get bark to first causes the same
as Pasteur did with medicine if we are
to r^lve our crime problem.”
“Tlte Baunies law in New York,
whichlcarries a punishment of life im
prisonment for any person convicted
of four felonies,” he declared, “is only
getting at effects and not causes. Such
severity of punishments only tends to
drive criminals to neighboring states
with less rigorous laws and does nit
lessen the problem at all. He must get
back to the underlying causes.”
“The crime problem,” Judge Patton
said, “will be remedied only by elimi
nating causes and raising the general
standards of the criminal class by the
influence of the family, school, church
and other social agencies. We need to
spend more money preventing crime,
and we would have to spend less cor
recting crime. There will always be a
certain amount, and severity of pun
ishment isn’t going to help. Swiftness,
surene.ss and implacability of justice,
and the ability and agility of officers
in ferreting out offenders is the thing
that will count.”
