CRIME A DISEASE ?

ONE OF WAR'S LEGACIES,

At the annual meeting of the Royal Society for Assistance of Discharged Prisons at the Mansion House the Lord Mayor, who presided, said that for seventy year the society had- performed admirable service to he community in attending to persONS AS they left prison. As a magistrate, be knew the manifold ways in which the socisty rendered assistance to the unfortunate people who found their way into our prisons. It was a very humane work, and one which deserved the sympathy and support of all.

Lord Askwith said the society only asked for financial help when it was urgently required, and that period had now arrived. A sum of at least £600 in additional subscriptions wat needed to enable it to pursue its aċ- cumulated and progressive activitica, Last year Wormwood Scrabbs and Pentonville-the two prisons with which it was mainly concerned-disə charged 5,869 prisoners, of whom 2,347 were assisted by the society. either with food, lodging, tools," or employment, or were provided with

A woman member of his household has just received one of these com- munications, headed "Good luck" and containing the following written unsigned announcement:—

Copy this out nine times and sand it to nine people to whom you wish good luck,

The chain was started by A American officer and should go three times round the world.

"Do not break the chain, for who- aver does will have bad luck.

"Do it within 24 hour and count nine days, and you will have some great good fortune.”

Even though the scheme may be good for the Postmaster-General, it is hard on superstitious poor people, who may be persuaded by the threat of bad luck to spend Is. 6d. on stampe.
