“YOU CAN’T WIN”
Most advertising is designed to
give an optimistic impression. It
seeks to show how something de
sirable may be done, or how some
thing desireable may be obtained.
Quite striking, then, in contract to
the ordinary forms of printed ap
peal, is a series of placards now be
ing displayed in New York subway,
elevated, surface and commuters
cars, the most prominent line on each
card being the warning: “You Can’t
Win.”
These placards are a part of a
campaign devised by Barron G. Col
lier, veteran advertising man and a
special deputy commissioner of the
New York police department, with a
view to diverting criminals from a
life of crime.
There are eighteen different cards
shown, some depicting a criminal in
the act of being caught red-handed
by a polieeman, others illustrating
the strength of the police department
in contrast to the weakness of the
criminal. The last card in the ser
ies shows four objects in silhouette
—a chaplain, a condemned man, a po
liceman and an electric chair—with
only the three words: “You Can’t
Win.”
All through the series the crimi
nal is pictured for what he is—"a
fugitive, sneaking, cringing thing,
living always in fear of the liaw|”
While it is hardly expected that
these warning cards will effect the
reform of the hardened bandit or
gunman, it is belfeved that they will
aid in deterring some who may be
on the verge of embarking upon a
life of crime, or tend to halt others
who may have taken oly the first
steps in that direction.
At all events, the criminal of New
York city wlil have the picture of
his ultimate fate kept before his
eyes in a manner in which it may
not be overlooked. He will have
the benefit of some very practical
sermons without the necessity of go
ing to church.
RAILROAD CENTENNIAL
Celebrating the centennial of Eng
land’s first railway between Stockton
"and Darlington, opened in 1825,
events connected with that epochal
occurrence were recently re-enact
ed.
George Stephenson’s first locomo
tive, “Puffing Billy,” was taken from
its place in a museum and drew a
replica of the first train pulled over
the original line 100 years ago. This
time its power was supplied by a
gasoline motor concealed beneath
the boiler, which is no longer in con
dition to be fired.
Passengers were dressed in cos
tumes of the earlier day, many no
tables taking passage and the Duke
of York acting as ticket puncher.
Speed was not a characteristic of
the earliest train, as may be infer
red from the fact that a signalman
rode ahead of it on horseback to
warn of its approach.
The first three locomotives used
in the United States were imported
from England in 1829 and -were giv
en an initial try-out at Honesdale,
Pa., on August 8, of that year. The
Baltimore & Ohio railroad was work
ed by horse powder until 1832.
From nothing in 1S25, the rail
roads of the United States have
now reached a mileage of approxi
■ mately 264,000. Next in the list come
j Canada and Germany, with about 40,
' 000 miles each.
Perhaps methods of transportation
100 years from now will be as far
j ahead of the present as our modern

Portraits of George Bernard Shaw
and the late Anatole France are in
cluded in a new window to Joan of
Arc in the Ethical Church of London.
Asked why he and France were in
the picture, saw said, “you had bet
ter go and ask Anatole France.” The
real answer, of course, is that France
wrote a biography of and Shaw wrote
a play about the Maid of Orleans.
At the time of his death last year
Anatole France was generally recog
nized as the greatest novelist and
writer of France. Yet his brain was
found to weight only 1,017 grams,
while the average weight of the hu
man brain is 1,370 grams. Brain
matter, like other useful substances,
depends on quality rather than quan
tity.
Government troops in Honduras
have decisively licked the rebels and
have probably put an end, temporar
ily at least,, to a revolution face
tiously described as having “raged
quietly” for several months. Few
Central American revolutions make
the front page any more.
Many years ago a little Jewish boy
toiled barefooted as a deckhand on
the forecastle of a British ship in
Calcutta harbor. He left Calcutta
recently for a visit to England,
where he is known as Earl Reading,
governor-general of India since 1921.
Few boys ever made a longer jump
than that.
Isn’t it about time to start a so
ety and an official organ for people
who have been flogged by their
neighbors ?

Prominent Jurist Tells
