The sav- rg to restaurant owners may well o imagined. I i The Need of Prevention Everybody r is f pretty well up on the fact that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. One of these days we may have sense enough to take that into account in every day lite. . ..-.. v. Two stores in the daily papers recently give especial point to .this. One" of them concerns Ruth St. Clair, the 29-year-old New York woman who got a life term when she was con victed of shoplifting for the fourth time. Tha other has to do, with Charles Hannah, the 61-year-old misfit who has confessed to the murder of four-year-old Melvin Horst at Orrville, O. : " " If ever-" there were two cases that Dointftd to the nod j for preventive measures these are the two." . Take the St. Clair case first. - Ruth St. Clair has been up for shoplifting four times. All in all, she has stolen less than $1000 worth of merchan dise . For these offenses she has been sentenced to life imprisonment, im-prisonment, r There was a good deal of protest at this sentence. . Then Ruth's record was revealedf It is discouraging. - Repeated attempts have been made to help her. Various people' have tried to "give her a chance." Every time, she has -been a back-slider. 1 . a She is by no means subnormal mentally; yet some queer, unexplained quirk in her make-up has pulled her back, each time, into a life of petty crime. Today, with all the good will in the world, New York officials are forced to admit that she is about incorrigible. Life imprisonment seems to be almost the only answer. , . - . c Then there is Hannah. ,He quit school as a boy and went to work in the coal mines. Then he took up railroading, was fired for drinking, did odd jobs for years, drifted into bootlegging, got into trouble and finally wound up as the central figure in a peculiarly atrocious, revolting murder. ; Now neither of these people is what we call a half-wit But each one has always been lacking, in some psychological sensean "incomplete personality," as the psychologists put j it: Each one, given a fair degree of bad luck, was almost yt certain, from earliest childhood to wind up as an enemy or society. .. ' - ' 1 - lt'& too late to do anything "about it now,rf)f course. The prison and the electric chair are about" all that remain. : But some day it might pay society to adopt preventive methids in cases of this Kind. There ought to be some way of spotting, cases like this in advance. Perhaps the pudding science of abnormal psychology is not quite far enough advanced, ad-vanced, j ust yet ; but at least it- could give some' valuable help. . ' " . ' ' As it is; we do nothing until the damage, has been done. Then we dust out another cell and mourn another tragedy. We won't bereally civilized until we have found some way of steering these ."incomplete personalities" into paths where they can harm neither themselves nor. the rest of us: - . - ' v ' v ' ' v - - S " ' L al YOUB QUESTIONS .

SCIENCE - Sometimes we" wonder why medical med-ical science has failed so complete-iV complete-iV to -conquer the common cold, when it has been able to accomplish accom-plish such wonderful results .with other and more dangerous ills. There is a reason. This reason has been that nearly every disease so far conquered has been studied in animals deliberately infected. Only thru such ' scientific studies have advances been made, and animals ani-mals could not be infected with- human hu-man co.'ds. They were not subject tcvthem. . ."' The first hopeful sign of future progress was the recent announcement announce-ment at Columbia university that experimenters have succeeded in in fecting apes with colds by means of a virus.
