jclined to discount the alleged degree) of refinement in the cruelty. The brutality, the insolence wo question little enough, knowing, as all police reporters can testify, that such qual-i ities are not peculiar to Miami's gen-; darmes, but are characteristic, in gen eral of too many of the police classes. America has heard much yammering about crime waves and law enforcement that meant exactly nothing. Always the prophets of alarm point to England, shouting wildly over London's 17 murders as against New York's hundreds per annum.! Now for this discrepancy between the two lands, there are many inherent reasons, not to be removed, many of them, by any change in our methods of dealing with crime once accomplished. A shifting kaleidoscopic population, such as ours, invariably produces more crime than a stable one like that of EngljinjL^The weak fall behind, stumble, turn criminal. 'The ruthless find themselves unhind|ered by the ties of a fiked family life, the steadying restraint of a constant environment. That is one reason. There are others. But insofar as our methods of dealing with crime ex post facto is responsible for our ills, our police system is a leading problem. If England's cops are efficient, it is not by chnnoe. If her people look upon the policeman as a friend, the symbol of aocial protection, it is no accident. Similarly, if the American j cop rarely catches a genuine crimi-j pal. if he bags merely the little fry, it is matter of Itick. If the average American citizen both hates and fear.* a cop, it is no matter pt wanton cusa-| edneaa in the average American. And all the caterwauling under heaven about the dear friendly cops and the necessity of making up with him won't change the aituution in the slightest. The English cop is handpicked. The: Scotland Yard man's antecedents ure carefully examined by competent In I vestigators. He must pass examina-j lions to establish mentality of a rea-j sonubly high order. He is put thropgh an extensive schooling regime. Then he is placed on probation. Hundreds are dismissed after this trial period. Those who make good are paid a wage which makes the career attractive to men of capacity. Approach ' one, under whatever trying conditions, I you get only courtesy. There is no storming in traffic, no swearing at an erring driver, no overbearing belligerency, no "move on, you!" but "pardon, Sir, it is forbidden to halt here." All the difference there. Finally, he is not turned loose with gun and blydgeon to browbeat prisoners, to shoot down and kill, sometimes in the back. Hut it's different with the American pqjteeman,?Charlptte News.

Vinol is a delicious compound of cod liver peptone, iron, etc. Nervous, easily tired, anemic people are surprised how Vinol gives new pep, sound sleep and a BIG appetite.

The mother of Captain Wilkins, who Hew over the North Pole recently, is "glad my boy George has done what he set out to do. Wo mothers don't say juuch, but we feel a lot.'* Mrs. Wilkins thinks her son "made ' more of what he learned in a little country school thun many men have ( been able to make of a college edu- 1 cation." He built character in that > little school. The public school is the American 1 school of opportunity. 1 I Have you horses or cows? Ask 1* ; M. Woolley, builder and head of the American Radiator Company, about i his development of a vacuum cleaner for horses and cattle. This writer, after tests, finds that < the vacuum process cleans horses and cows to perfection, better, more quick- 1 ly and economically than could be j done by hand. . i All dust, including the hair, is carried into a receptacle by air current. Horse barns and cow stables can bo kept in perfect order, production of jlean milk made easier, by the new method. And grooms no longer are obliged to breathe in dust as they clean the animals. Those who can afford the machine should use it, and in dairies of any size its use should he compulsory?it takes diseasebreeding flies with it. Following the violent enrthquako shocks in southeastern Bulgaria, many peasants went insane. Such insanity is caused by a combination of ignorance and superstition. An earthquake in this country, or a big fire, like that in Chicago, brings on a frenzy of rebuilding, and a boom in real estate. We do not know much, and are not free from superstition. But we know enough not to go crazy when the earth slips and shakes a little. With a few exceptions, like the Iribson earthquake, superstitions fear has always been the worst part of a quake. Superstition has believed that the Lord was shaking the earth in anger. We know that old earth is only settling into her final shape, meaning harm to nobody. The South is energetic and growing. Governor Smith of New York chose well selecting North Carolina fpr his golf holiday. He is studying one of the most amazing progressive, States of the Union. These five men, northbound*.>from Miami, got. off the train at Asheville, N. C., the other day to pay their respects to the Governor: Judge Olvaney, Surrogate James F. Foley, Bernard F. Gimbel, George Le Boutlllier, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in charge of its subsidiary, the Long Island Railroad and Arthur Foran, -all of New York. They all agree that North Carolina typifies the South and American progress generally. "The whole Stafc," mU B. F. Gimbel, "seems as closely built up as the area between New York and Philadelphia." v The Cannon Towel Mill, biggest oh earth, employs 5,000- men and women. The well known B. V. D. gentlemen and the great Chicago firm of Marshall Field have enormous manufacturing plants in North Carolina. Other manufacturing institutions spring up daily. The State has water power practically unlimited, at low cost, avi energetic working population and extremely good living conditions. Don*t- overlook North Carolina In your plans. Flood waters of the White River have overewept levees, sweeping through five counties in Arkansas. In Mississippi the Tombigbee and LuxapaliHa rivers are nearing thedanger stage. More rain before Wednesday would mean serious danger. t Perhaps the Government will decide that $760,000,000 invested in flood control would be cheaper than another flood. - ^ ^BrOtfford, president of the VmtfricMii Telegraph & Telephone ompany, will spend two thousand ullion dollars on new construction '> the next live years.
