PRAISE LASHINGS^
FOR LOVE CRIMES
French Press Approve That
Form of Punishment.
Paris.—The French press hailed at
an admirable solution to preralent
“love crimes’* the recent lashing in
Temesvar, Rumania, of a woman sen
tenced to six years of forced labor
for having killed her rival.
Madame Borugsch, convicted of hav
ing murdered Mile. Anna Lowlnal
last October, was given 60 blows of
the lash on her naked back a few
days ago. Various newspapers of cen
tral Europe voiced an indignant pro
test that a woman should be so badly
flogged that her back resembled raw
beefsteak after the ordeal.
Not so the Paris journals; echoing
the satisfaction manifested by the
Temeshwar Hlrlap at the added pun
ishment inflicted on the murderess,
Parisian editors are pointing out the
excellence of this phase of Rumanian
criminal procedure.
Despite the spectacle of a woman's
back being slowly beaten into a bloody
pulp, French critics are inclined to at
tach more importance to another angle
of the affair. They find exceedingly
significant the statement by the Te-
raeshwar Hlrlap that since the flogging
law went Into effect the so-called love
crimes have almost been exterminated
in Rumania. Such crimes committed
by women numbered 164 In 1920; this
formidable figure was reduced to 38
In 1922, to 26 in 1923, to 22 in 1924,
and dropped to 8 last year, thanks to
the rigid application of the law of the
knout.
Madame Dora Borugsch has had her
back pounded Into a jelly, say the
French journalists and the Temeshwar
Hlrlap, but 156 persons who would
normally be rotting In the cemeteries
are now sleeping tranquilly in their
beds. The Temeshwar Hlrlap looks
favorably on the result, and so does
the French pres*.
Enough of sloppy sentimentality,
say the French; ‘‘love crimes’* are
committed not for love or love de
spised but by assassins enraged by the
poison of self-love. Who will then
have the courage, demands one Pari
sian editor, to propose In the chamber
of deputies a similar law designed to
save 150 lives?
Alabama Man of 110
Defies Centenarians
Birmingham, Ala.—Lonnie Boutwell,
one hundred and ten years old, who

gus to market as soon after it is cut
