MURDER RATE
IN THE U. S.
MEMPHIS, TENN., LEADS IN
NUMBER OF HOMICIDES
According to F. L. Hoffman of
New York, the annual murder rate
in the Uniltd States has now climed
to an average of 8.6 persons out of
every 100,000 of population, that is
to say, about 8,000 residents of tile
country are murdered each year.
Mr. Hoffman bases his estimate
on the murder rates of thirty cities
having in 1914 a total populaton of
17,416,649. ■ New York City as a
whole is omitted from the table he
supplies. The highest murder rate
for any year was that of 1913,
when 8.7 persons were killed out of
every 100,000 population.
Memphis, Tenn., leads all the other
cities in violent deaths. There the
murders in 1914 amounted to 72,2
persons out of every 100,000 popula
tion. Charleston, S. C., is second
with only 33.3 persons out' of every
100,000.
Most of the Southern cities stand
well at the top of the list. After
|vhe twp cities named come Savanah
with ten-year average of 28.4, next
is Atlanta with 26, New Orleans 25,
3; Nashville, 24.3; Louisville, 16.6
and St. Louis 12.9. Then San Fran
cisco with 11.8, Cincinnat ,11; Seat
tle,8.1; Spokane,7.8 and Washington
7.5.
Manhattan and the Bronx toge
ther are sixteenth in the list of 30
cites. The rate here is 6.1. Chica
go had in ten years 1,955 murders,
the average murder rate there being
9.3 persons.
In Philadelphia the rate was 4.2
and in Boston 4.8. The lowest rate
in the cities is that of Milwaukee,
which average 2.4 for the ten year
period, although its rate was 5.2 in
1914.
The largest percentage of those
killed were shot, 60.6 per cent of
the total having died from firearms
and 15.1 per cent having been killed
by cutting or piercing instruments.

CANADA TO HAVE
INDIAN BATTALION
ALREADY THERE ARE
GALLANT OFFICERS
OTTOWA, —Enthusiasm prevails
on the Indian reserves over the de
cision of General Hughes to allow
the formation of battalion of Indi
ans for overseas service. Although
there are many Indians in the con
tingents that have gone, the policy
generaly has been to discourage
enlisment. All over the Dominion
loyal Indians have offered their
services and have been refused, and
the Indian department now states
that there will not be the slightest
difficulty in raising a full regiment
and there might be a second.
The Six Nation Indians of Brant
ford have sent thirty-four young
braves to the front, and one of their
men, Captain A. G. E. Smith who
went with the second regiment, is
regarded as a most capable officer
and is a warm favorite with the
men under him.
Lieut. Cameron Brant, a grand
son of the famous General Brant,
went from Brantford and was killed
at Ypres. Another briliant officer
whom General Hughes is watching
closely is Captain Picard of the 12th
battalion, one of three Hurons who
went from Lorette.
The Sf. Peter’s Band has sent 8
the Chippewas of the Thames 3, the
Mohawas of Tyendanaga 12, the
Peguls 8, etc, Six of the Iroquois
are reported as having enlisted, but
the list is not yet completed.
Thirty Bloods of southern Alber
ta wanted to enlist but were refus
ed. Accordingly three of them ran
away from the reserve and enlisted
elsewhere. One of these, Albert
Horse, was gassed at St. Julien and
died. A number of Blackfoot In
dians also tried to enlist but were
refused. One company of the pro
posed regiment is being organized
fn western Ontario.
GRAND LEAP-YEAR BALL
The Ladies Basket Ball Club will
give a Leap-year Ball in the Red
Men’s Hall on the evening of Feb.
29th, for the purpose of raising
money to build a gymnasium. The
girls plan to make this ball the
greatest feature of the season.
Nothing will be omitted that will
help to make it a success, and every
one is guaranteed a delightful time.
The members of the club will act
as Floor Committee and everyone
come out and boost the gymnasium.

SHOE SOLES OF WOOD VENEER
A furniture factory in Hallerau,
which before the war devoted its
self to the manufacture of art fur
niture, but finds its market dead
during the war, has started the
manufacture of shoes without leath
er. These are not the wooden
shoes of the Dutch and South Ger
man peasants, but a substitute for
the usual leather Fhoe. The uppers
are made of grey or black water
proof linen sail cloth, which at a
little distance is not distinguish
able from leather, and the soles are
built up of layers of wood veneer
glued together with waterproof
glue, tho process making a flex
ible, waterproof sole which follows
the shape of the arch of the foot.
The shoes have beengiven several
months’ trial and are soon to be
placed on the market. They are
said to wear well; the undersurface
of the wodden sole soon develops
a felt like surface which gives little
noise, and best of all, the shoes are
said to cost little more than the
present price for half-soling leather
shoes.—Kansas City Star.
