Ignorance of Law Causes Much Crime Fingerprint Expert H. Zabel Interviews Prisoners Ignorance of the law is lack of education in things general is the cause of at least 35 per cent of the crimes committed in Orange county, in the opinion of Human Rights Head of the identification bureau of the Sheriff's office, who has just recited a survey of the 102 prisoners in the county jail, as to their education in life. At the conclusion of the tests made, Zabel said: "It is my belief that education, plus a healthy body, sound mind, intelligent law enforcement and impartial, strict and speedy justice would answer the cry as to what steps to take to reduce our present criminal population." The survey just completed by Zabel concerned only the education received by all the inmates of the jail and showed that 48 or less than 50 per cent had a grammar school or higher education. Of these 48 prisoners, four attended high school for one year, one for one and a half years, 10 for two years, seven for three years, four for four years, and three went to college for one year. Of the remaining 54 prisoners, seven attended grammar school for seven years, 10 for six years, six for five years, seven for four years, four for three years, one for two years, one for one year, and one for only four months. Eleven could not read or write English and some of these, all foreigners, could not read or write their native language. Zabel in making inquiry as to the reason for their failure to acquire an education, brought out the following reasons: lack of school facilities; inability to attend school on account of financial difficulties; lack of desire to attend school. The survey showed that less than 10 per cent regretted the fact that they, owing to a lack of education were unable to meet the demands of an advancing industry. Zabel said. A few made inquiries as to how they could better their educational standing, that violated some act or ordinance would not have violated same had they been educated or possessed the knowledge that the act or ordinance existed and that a violation of same would bring confinement." Zabel said. The 8 per cent that omitted to do some act as required by law, plead ignorance. Education perhaps would have reduced this figure to 4 per cent. The adding of the percentage of the inmates that attribute their confinement to lack of education gives us a total of 60 per cent. Deducting about 20 per cent from this, as about that many would rather tell a falsehood than the truth, we have a final total of 35 per cent that are confined as the direct result of ignorance or lack of education. AGE OF PRESIDENTS Of the 29 Presidents, 25 were elected. Four succeeded from the office of vice-president and were not later elected. There were Tyler of Virginia, Fillmore of New York, Johnson of Tennessee. Arthur of New York. Of the 25, six were citizens of Ohio at the time of their election; four were citizens of Virginia; three were from Massachusetts; three were from New York; two from Tennessee; two from Illinois; one from Louisiana; one from New Hampshire; one from Pennsylvania; one from Indiana; one from New Jersey. Washington took the oath of office as President when he was 57. He was the first of the Virginia line of chief magistrates. John Adams and John Quincy Adams, father and son of Massachusetts, were elected when they were 61 and 57 respectively. Jefferson and Madison of Virginia were each 57 when elected. Monroe of Virginia was 58. Jackson nof Tennessee was 61 when elected; Van Buren of New York, 54. William Henry Harrison of Ohio had reached 67 when he was elected. Harrison's age stands as high water mark. Only Taylor of Louisiana and Buchanan of Pennsylvania, after Harrison's time, had reached their sixties when elected. Taylor was 64 and Buchanan 65. Polk of Tennessee was one of the youngest (49) when elected. Pierce of New Hampshire was even younger—48. Lincoln of Illinois was 51 when elected. Grant, also of Illinois, was Gan.

The survey showed that less than 10 per cent regretted the fact that they, owing to a lack of education were unable to meet the demands of an advancing industry. Zabel said. A few made inquiries as to how they could better their educational standing, but the great majority were satisfied to end their existence on this plane in their present status. A segregation of the offenses committed by these men and women showed that: 24 per cent had committed crimes against property. 17 per cent had committed crimes against the person. 51 per cent had violated some act or ordinance. 8 per cent had omitted to do some act as required by law. One-half or 12 per cent of the 24 per cent that had committed crimes against property would not be confined now if they had received an adequate education to enable them to keep in step with an ever advancing industrial world. "It is not an exaggeration to state that 35 per cent out of the 51 per cent..."

The announcement was made by David G. Duncan, sales manager for the new syndicate which has taken over the 110-acre island. The name of the island will be changed to Lido Isle, Duncan reported. An intimation that Marco Hellman, prominent Los Angeles banker, might be interested in the new syndicate was given when it was announced that a 55-foot cruiser, owned by the banker, would be brought to Newport bay to take prospective customers to the island. A ferry boat also is to be purchased by the syndicate and operated to the island. Rumors have been heard in Newport Beach to the effect that William Randolph Hearst is interested as a silent partner in the purchase of the island. Plans for the development of Lido Isle were announced by Duncan. He declared that special building restrictions would be established on the island and that a board of expert city planners would approve the plans of all buildings before construction is allowed to start. The syndicate has secured a lease on the Southern Seas clubhouse on the bay front in Dalboa and will use the club as headquarters during the summer it was reported by David W. Miller and Harry Welch, representatives of the syndicate. That plans are being completed which will result in the construction of a large hotel on the island was the announcement made by John R. Case, advertising manager for the syndicate. Case reported that the hotel would be situated at the eastern end of the isle. The sales campaign is expected to start within the next few weeks. Little definite information regarding the proposition was given at the meeting, as the plans of the syndicate are yet in a state of formation. No name has yet been selected by the organization, it was reported. Committee Finishes for the entire district. If the plan suggested was carried out, the planting of east and west windbreaks would be eliminated. The creation of this map reflects great credit on the energy of the committee that performed the work. They compared notes and traveled all over the entire community in making the map. They are to be commended. We had hoped to reproduce the map, but it was not found practical to reduce the drawing to the scale desirable for reproduction.

CORY Assistant Farm Advisor A tour to inspect the test plots carried on by the Agricultural Extension Service in the Capistrano section and to visit ranges under different methods of management has been set for Wednesday, April 25. Those who plan on attending are asked to assemble at the Hot Springs entrance to the Santa Marguerita ranch at 10 o'clock. From there the schedule calls for a visit to the test plot, returning to Capistrano for lunch. In the afternoon the schedule calls for a trip up the Trabuco canyon to inspect ranges under different methods of management. Prof. H. E. Malmsten of the division of forestry of the university is to attend to present results of his study on range management over the state. The test plots conducted by the extension service have been carried on with two points in view. First, to determine how late in the spring the range can be grazed and still get a seed crop from the desirable range grasses. Second, to note the reaction of the natural grasses to limited or restricted grazing. No. 422 B Mother!
