according to a remarkable report
made to Congress by Dr. Arthur MacDonald.
Criminologist of the United

Dr. MaeDonald argues these inventions

"Eat n&eat and potatoes." continues
Dr. MaeDonald, "or you may become

He claims one of tbe reasons for tbe
Increase In crime Is the decrease In coninmption

tendency toward less solid and staple

ilmism set in and loss of self-control
follow with its consequent abnormal
ictions leading on to crime and other
toclal evils.
"In the statistics of crime some special
points may lie noted. The youth,
is compared with adults, have committed
more crimes as society has de* ,
reloi^d. Suicide among children has
rreatly increased; this might be regarded
as a symptom of diseased preMdousness.
The recent rapid development of

As Lord and Lady Curzon and the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught
mounted elephants and passed through
the line of ruling chiefs, the elephants
of the chiefs saluted by trumpeting
and throwing their trunks in the air.
Then they fell In line behind the viceregal
and royal parties, the whole making
a procession of seventy colossal
elephants. The parade started with
the dragoons and horse artillery in
gorgeous attire leading. The heralds
and trumpeters, six English soldiers
and six natives, clad in crimson coats,
heavily braided with gold, followed.
Just as the party arrived, a salute
of thirty-one guns was fired from the
fort. The Duke and Duchess received
every honor from the Viceroy and
chiefs. The chiefs were presented in
turn to the members of the royal and
viceregal parties. Afterward all the
mounted elephants and set out for the
great camp.
No triumphal procession of the Moguls
or the Hindu kings ever dazzled
the Indiana as did this parade moving
over a six-mile route through the city.
