“Lessons in cams."
Here’s more abuse for the poor news
papers. Katherine Bement Davis, an
uplifter whom New York reform Tuay~
VIVVoiV- placed in charge of the city prisons,
has refused to let the prisoners in
Blackwell’s lsiand read newspapers in
V their cells because, she says, “The
“average daily newpaper is a lesson in
crime." V
V «Maybe this is only a flash of res-
entment dut to the fact that even Miss
Davis, though one of the most capable
Vund ciear- headed woman in public life,
Vds subject to the weakness of not be-
V- this able to endure criticism. 01' may-
, V be her slur is really deserved by New
Work newspapers—though to an out-
I V‘ older, the metropolitan sheets seem to
. have vastly improved since the old
“yelipw'” days that'won them unenvi
able fame. -
V it will be news, however, to most
American readers to be told that their
newspapers are “lessons in crime."
The papers, of course, print stories of
-chiVino—- because crimes occur, and the

VVButVif there ever was an erawhen our

ten their circulation, that time has
Vplissed. It is safe to say that the av-
erage newspaper today prints far less
V crime and vice in its columns than the
V average reader would read with '11 id-
‘ it: if it were there. There is s delib-
crate. conscious purpose in the minds
. at most editors to place before their

THE SKY-SCRAPER PObTOFFliOE.
Wm made the belated an-
covery that the first consideration in
erecting public buildings should be of-
flciency and service rather than imper-
ial grandeur linked with insanitary
architecture. There .hlVe been to much

moat buildings. Through misdirected
sentiment or an inbovent tendencr

ect architecturally «beautiful buildings.
decorate them with flneepnlntlng and
scripture, fit them with elegant furni-
ture~and utterly forget such essent-
ials as light, ventilation and elevator
simials.
These practical things are neglect-
ed until the building first goes into
use. Then reconstruction and remod-
elling throw the whole structure into
the occupants while these simple and
necessary additions are made, and are
made at an expense many times what
would have been required to install
them in the first place, had they been
recognized as of prime importance in
the first plans.
it is fitting that there shouid‘be
beautiful achitecture and a noble style
for the buildings which represent lhe
people. But a skyscraper need actuate
essarily be u lywas witness the Wool-
worth build in New York-and is
any style appropriate which is lack-
ing in the very things that make for
efficiency and service, and for the con-
venience and comfort necessary to the
work of its occrlpants?

Norwalk batters are following with
interest a suit which has been
brought against the Danbury Hat
Makei's' Association by Michael J.
Keeling of 10 Town Hill avenue,
Danbury, to recover the sum of $216
and costs. The papers in the suit
allege that Mr. Keeling, by action of
the Hat Mukers’ association, was de-
fadtory of Simon &VV Keane, in 1909,
and he is suing the "association for
payment for the loss of work during
that period at the rate of four doi-
lars a dhy. Mr. Keating, it is said,
was deprived of nis‘ card by the of-
sociation for failure to pay percent-
age. ’
"it is claimed that when Mr. Keat-
ing was discharged he owed $15 in
back percentage to the association.
The union, however, oWed him, it is
said, 5180 on account ofVV‘his son's
death benefit. Mr. Keating asserts
he instructed to have his percentage
due deducted from the $180, but he
states the secretory of the associa-
tion refused to do thismtaking- his
card and sending it to the New York
office of the United Hatters of North
America. .
The papers of the complaint state
further that after conference , be-
tween the committee and Secretary
Connolley failed to bring about a set-
tlement the plaintiff and other per-
sons offered to pay the amount of the
percentage due rather than cause
