HERALD EDITORIALS UNEXPLAINED CRIMES A grand jury has censured a New York city paper for rhaving published a list of "unsolved murder mysteries." It alleges that the list in great part "false and untrue." This is a singular situation. In New York city are frequent murders. So many of them remain unsolved that an imposing list might be made without appending a single case to be classified as "false and untrue." In this respect New York does not differ particularly from other centers of population. Chicago and Philadelphia also have crimson records. In each place such mystery as may be constituted of an unexplained murder is common. Coming nearer home, the charges that New York resents and the grand jury condemns, may with justice made against the metropolis of California. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding of terms. Ordinarily the solution of a murder mystery involves discovery of the perpetrator, the disclosure of his purpose and methods, and in instances, even his punishment. The only really satisfactory solution must lie in the placing of the guilt wheer it belongs. But if the police regard murder as an incident too common to be worth solving, something to be taken for granted as part of the history of the day, they thus wipe the slate clean. They may look upon the demand for detailed explanation as an impertinence. A glance over police records will show that of the murders less than half result in arrest. When such a crime occurs it is mentioned in the news. If the victim was a person of standing, news value may cling to his name until after the funeral. Then the whole matter be dropped and virtually forgotten. It is not surprising that a New York journal should der as an incident too common to be worth solving, something to be taken for granted as part of the history of the day, they thus wipe the slate clean. They may look upon the demand for detailed explanation as an impertinence. A glance over police records will show that of the murders less than half result in arrest. When such a crime occurs it is mentioned in the news. If the victim was a person of standing, news value may cling to his name until after the funeral. Then the whole matter be dropped and virtually forgotten. It is not surprising that a New York journal should have gone over the files and presented a resume of homicidal activities. It would be surprising if it could not make the showing impressive enough by citing facts, and not introducing the element of fiction. TH ESOLDIER BONUS Senator Reed has awakened his colleagues from any dream they may have had that the soldier bonus bill had gone back into committee to repose indefinitely. Whatever they may do with the measure, the thought that they are to have the chance to sidestep it is banished by the Reed amendment. It will be recalled that the measure went back to committee at the direct suggestion of President aHrding. He addressed the senate in order that there should be no misunderstanding as to his views. While in some quarters the presidential attitude was warmly approved, a small part of such approval came from ex-service men. They felt that the promises made to them when they started overseas had not been kept. They pointed to the fact that even Canada, its losses far greater than those of the United States, its resources far less, had taken care of its returned soldiers on a scale of comparative munificence. Senator Reed is a democrat, and it is natural to suppose him not unwilling to put the administration "in a hole." However, the citations made in support of his amendment are awkward things to meet. "I am going to tell them [ex-soldiers], he said, "that the reason they could not have the adjusted compensation was that it was proposed to tax the tax off the profiteers . . . the men who stayed home while they went abroad to lose their health, to lose their jobs, and some of their brothers to lose their lives." The senate is having a hard time with the tax question due to the fact that a tax is quite likely to be objectionable to the man who has to pay it. The republicans are experiencing difficulty in carrying out the administration program. Where they have been successful it has been by narrow margin. And now comes Reed detracting still further from their modicum of gladness.

The Santa Barbara News and Independent has appeared in eight-column form, every page giving evidence of the quality often described as pep. Confidence and prosperity seem to characterize the entire issue. A curious sort of man makes complaint that he was induced to buy a machine for the manufacture of paper money. The method was to insert a $1 bill, turn a crank, and watch the paper emerge as a bill of much higher denomination. Such a man gains nothing by exposing his stupidity. His real quarrel is with Providence that neglected to provide him with brains.

By John Barton (Copyright, 1021, by The Associated Newspapers.) You can imagine how Nibble Rabbit felt. Here he'd brought Trailer the Hound way into the middle of the Deep Woods to rescue Tad Coon. And now Trailer said he felt like helping the foxes who were after Tad. All because Tad would play tricks that were funnier for him than they were for the other fellow. Poor Nibble was at the end of his wits! But folks sometimes say things they don't exactly mean. Like glad nobody but Nibble was there him. But Nibble would tell my Peele's dog, Watch, for sure certain. He sat down to think it over. The harder he thought the more ashamed he looked. He knew Watch would do; Watch would afraid of anything. Nibble didn't down. He couldn't puzzle this up, but he couldn't puzzle this jump. Something was going to open. It was still as still. Trailer shot his head till his ears flapped as a fly had bit one of them. But no buzzed. The cool night air had ened every wing until sun-up. It Trailer's own cowardiness that stilled him. Nibble couldn't have told whether the chill in the brisky along his spine was fright or tickly tearing of the dawn wind. Woke a hustle in the leaves, a wipe pery sound like the wall of poor courage Tad. It grew louder, loud as if it woke hiding something—was. It was hiding footsteps. The first thing Nibble heard was Blam! Crack! Ker-smash! It was a tree falling. When a tree falls "crack" comes first and the "blam" comes next, as it hits the earth, there's much more "Ker-smash!" And no tree comes ker-flommo through the woods on four clu feet, lowing "Foxes! Foxes! Let at 'em. No, that couldn't be body but the Red Cow. You know she hated them!

Housewife Finds Burglar in Home Effects Capture Returning home from an afternoon call on a neighbor, Mrs. Jean H. Berry of 251 Westminster road, Brooklyn, walked into her home to catch a burglar. On entering she heard a noise upstairs. She called out and a gentleman stranger descended the stairs. Mrs. Berry grabbed him and demanded to know why he was there. "I came to visit Mrs. Simpson, who lives upstairs, the man replied evenly, although the house was a detached one-family home and appeared to be nothing else." "You're a burglar," accused Mrs. Berry. The gentleman was shocked. "Just go upstairs and wow will see that nothing is missing," he challenged. Mrs. Berry declined and with that, the intruder made a hasty exit through the front doorway. Calling for help, Mrs. Berry attracted the attention of Patrolman George Chandler, a four months rookie of the Parkville station. He jumped on a motorcar and ran the fugitive down. "He threw jewelry away as he ran," declared Mrs. Berry to the patrolman, when the alleged burglar was brought before her for identification. Search along the street recovered a gold wedding ring, two gold diamond rings, a string of gold beads, a wristwatch and a diamond lavalliere. A diamond ring is still missing. By the time the prisoner was brought to the station house it was necessary to summon Ambulance Surgeon Stewart of the Kings County Hospital to treat him for heroin. When arraigned before Magistrate Geismar in Flatbush court, the prisoner waived examination and was held for the grand jury. According to the police, the man's name is Edward McCoy.

According to the police, the man's name is Edward McGinnis, alias "Ed Hay," 23, of 1530 Minford place, the Bronx. The police allege that he was given a suspended sentence in 1917 by special sessions as a narcotic fiend. They also stated that in 1918 he was convicted of a burglary in the Bronx, but was sent to Rikers Island to take treatment for his narcotic craving. Sentence was suspended when he came out. In 1919, according to the police, he was sent to Sing Sing for two years for a Bronx burglary, later being transferred to Dannemora during an epidemic of influenza. The police say he was discharged last Christmas. RULES OF COURTESY FOR MOTORIST Courtesy on the road among motorists is akin to safety, say officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California, and a new "courtsey series of suggestions is now being issued by the club for the thousands of motorists in this section of the country. Lack of courtesy, it is pointed out, often leads to recklessness which in turn leads to accidents. Therefore motorists are asked to read the following courtesy rules and see if they wish to observe them. These are the suggestions for courteous treatment of each other offered to auto owners throughout the United States by the Auto club: 1. When a man approaching you from behind sounds his horn as a signal that he wishes to pass, don't "step on it." Draw over to the right and let him go by. 2. Do not use more than your half parking space from a man who is getting ready to back into it. 4. Do not imagine that every motorist on the road who tries to pay you is starting a race. He may on important business. 5. When you pass a man from blind, going in the same direction, not cut in directly in front of him. This is discourageous. 6. Do not shove another man's along the curb to make room yours, thus jamming his car against a fire plug or a car ahead. 7. It is discourageous to halt behind a traffic jam and honk your horn. 8. The correct giving of hand is courteous as well as safe. The "double," a small bronze coin worth half a farthing and still mines in Guernsey, is the smallest coin circulation in Great Britain.
