The second edition of "Who's
Who in America" contains 1900
pages of brief biographies, without
eulogy, criticism or comment, OF
such persons now living in America
as have become noted factors in the
progress and achieyement of the
age. "Endeavor has been madc,,'
say the editors, .to include all
Americans of more than local note
in all lines of useful effort" No
name is inserted or omitted for
financial consideration.
With a view to determining what
effect education of the various
grades has had on success in life, eff
fort was made to ascertain the school
training of each of these men and
women "of more than local note"
and 1852 on their United States
list were thus edncationally classified.
According to the best estimate we
can make from the latest census re-
turns, there are in the United States
40,782,007 persons over twenty-one
yenrs old. These are divided edu-
cationally about as follows:
Glass 1--Without school train
lux R.O 4SS
Glass q With only common
school training .......... 81, ,862, ,951
Glass 3-With common and high
school training.... 2,165, 1857
Glass with college or higher
education added. 1,071, ,201
Now, the question is, how many
of the eight thousand distinguished
citizens of the United States on the
Who's Who list came from each of
these classes
The 1852, ,49S of Glass 1 furnished. 81
The 32,882, ,951 of Class furnished. 8Os
The 2, 165,357 of Class furnished. i, ,245
The 1,O7l, POI of class 8 furnished. %, 78s
1t thus appears:
1st. That an uneducated child has
one chance in 100000 of attaining
distinction as factor in the progress
of the age.
2. That common school educa-
tion will increase his chances nearly
four times.
Sd. That a high school training
will increase the chances of the
common school boy twenty-three
times, giving him eighty seven times
the chance of the uneducated.
4th. That college education in
creases the chance of the high school
boy nine times, giving him two hun
dred and nineteen times the chance
of the common school boy, and more
than 800 times the chance of the
unframed.
1t is a noteworthy fact that OF
1852 "notables" thus gathered,
4,810 proved to be full graduates of
colleges.
From the nature of the case it
cannot be claimed that these figures
are exact, but they are based upon
the most reliable government statis-
tics and the necessary estimates have
been made with care. 1t is also
doubtless true that other circum-
stances contributed to the success of
these college trained men, but after
all reasonable allowances are made
the figures still force the conclusion
that the more school training the
child has, the greater his chances of
distinction will be.
What chance will you give your
child?

The Supreme Court has handed

The Supreme Court has handed
down an important dispensary opin-
ion that will have more or less influ-
ence on the future practices of
co nstables. 1t is to the effect that
liquor brought into the State by a
common carrier is not liable to
seizure until it has actually been
delivered to the consignee. The fact
that the consignee may be regarded
as notorious blind tiger makes no
difference in the matter. The same
opinion goes on to hold that for ex-
ceeding their lawful authority consta-
bles are liable not only on their Off
cial bonds, but for personal damages
in such amounts as juries may decide.
The question OF the right of individ-
uals to bring liquor into the State
under the operation of the Interstate
commerce law had already been set
tied to the satisfaction Of everybody /;
but the practice of constables in
using their discretion in the seizure
of liquors in transit and before their
delivery to alleged blind tigers, has
remained open until now. Hereafter
freight and express agents will not
be required to withhold deliveries or
suspicious packages on the mere
orders of the constables. The opinion
here referred to was written by
Justice Wood and conourred in by
all other members of the court.

Three young men, none of them
quite 21 years of age, who have
been giving the police of Chicago
and the officers of the country sur
rounding, no end of trouble during
the past three months on account of
eight murders and numerous rob-
berries during the past three months,
were captured last Friday afternoon
near Liverpool, Ind, by party of
farmers. The names of the bows
are Peter Niedermier, Harvey Van
Dine and Emil Roeskie. Their first
notable crime was the robbery of a
street car barn, and the murder of
one OF the men in charge. They se-
cured over $4,000 in cash. The DO
lice and detectives were not able to
come upon them until last Friday.
1t was in open field. A hot fight
followed. A half dozen or more
policemen, armed with Wiuchesters,
fought the boys armed with revol-
vers. After one of the detectives
had been killed and one or two
others badly wounded the bows
walked off. The boys next came to
the railroad track, killed brakeman
and made the engineer carry them
some miles on his engine. Leaving
the engine, they proceeded some dis
tance through the snow, and were
overtaken by some farmers armed
with shotguns. Shots we're ex-
changed and two of the boys were
80 badly peppered as to be willing to
surrender. The other got away, but
was afterward captured by a larger
company of officers that had been
summoned to the scene by the engi-
neer. The boys confess to having
committed eight murders and numer-
Ous thefts.

Education an Enemy to Crime.

The generally agitated idea that
education in the pop lar sense has
no equal value at all to the cost in
reducing the criminal tendencies Of a
people has been matter closely
watched and recorded in France.
The figures that are most clearly
pertinent to conditions found in the
average districts in the South show
that in four such districts the num-
Der of criminal charges in a series of
years has averaged among the
classes of population as follows:
Persons wholly unipstructed. ..4,47i
Able to read and write poorly. -. .2,O26
Able to read and write we'll 748
With more liberal education. ..... 172
7,415
The number of convictions in
each of these classes of accused
persons-an average from four years
was, out of each 100:
Those wholly uninstructed ...77.9
Able to read and write poorly. lib
Able to read and write well. ...71.2
With moro liberal education. -. .58.5
These later figures are those of
offenders who have appeared in each
case more than once before the tri-
bunals. Nevertheless they speak vol
umes favorable to the results of giving
to the common people good edu-
cation, especially in the fundamentals
and the handicrafts that make for
honorable self-support. The eduoa-
tional reaction in America to-day is
favorable TO the return to those
prime essentials of popular educa.
ton and it will be great day for
the morals and prosperity of the
States when all of them shall have
adopted the policy.-Atlanta Con.

Is Beauty Only Skin Deep Z

Beauty is only skin deep, but the forces
that create beauty are as deep as the
fountain from which they flow. When the
blood is charged with impurities beauty
disappears; when the blood is pure
beauty blossoms in face and form. Ry.
dale's Liver Tablets keep the liver
healthy and the bowels regular; pre-.
vents the blood becoming ladened with
bile and waste matter, make the skin
clear, eyes bright and beauty more than
skin deep j. Fl. Darby, Walhalla;

There has been considerable dis
cussion of the report of the commit
tee, and there is some difference
among experts as to the proper
divisions of the fund. We do not
know how it is done, but it is fact
that many families are supported on
less than $12 a week. Miss Jane
Adams, Of the Hull House, insists
that the poorer classes in this coun-
try could gain much by studying the
lives of the small wage earners in
France, who "get more out of life
than the poor elsewhere" and shave
systematized their expenses and
carefully saved for extra pleasures"
In spite of their poverty and their
small wages, the French peasantry
live happily and manage somehow to
save something out of their scanty
store.
One of the great troubles in the
United States is that none of the
people appear to understand the
philosophy of saving. We do not
know how it is practicable for any
family of four or five persons to live
in any of the larger towns and cities
of our country on $12 week, but
the average income of the people
living in the country districts of the
South is doubtless less than $12
week or 1924 year, aud they live
far better than the average resident
of Chicago, who struggles for exist
ence on his small wages.

How we Catch a Cold.

A cold is sometimes contracted while
remaining inactive for while in an un-
comfortable room or a cold draft and by
falling to sleep under like conditions.
But most colds are caught while Sleep
ing too cold at night. Deep sleep causes
sluggish circulation, which renders the
system susceptible to change of tempera-
ture. To prevent colds, sleep under
plenty of cover. To cure colds use Ry-
dale's Elixir, it lessons the severity and
sh0rtens the duration of cold and pre-,
vents pneumonia. bronchitis and con-
sumption. j. III. Darby, Walhalla; The

SAFEGUARD AGAINST Accident.

The best safeguard against accident is
to use good judgment in directing every
act. But accidents will often occur in
spite of every effort to prevent them.
The best safeguard against injury result

ment for use in the family and on ami

Supporting a Family.

The economists .s.of Chicago are
considering the problem of support
ing a family on $12 week. AT q
meeting of the Hull House Woman's
club a special committee was ap-
pointed some time ago to investigate
the income problem and report the
result of it's inquiry. After making
careful study of the subject the
committee reported that it is prac-
ticable to support family of four or
FIVE persons on the sum of $12 a
week, the income of the average
family in Chicago. The main items
of the weekly expenses of such a
family are estimated as follows:

This company has erected the finest livery stable in the south and the public will so declare when 1t has in- spected same. The company has paid par ticular attention to drainage and ventila- ton. Each stable has cemented floors and sanitary conditions. which makes it perfectly clean and healthy. Every nook and corner of the building will be perfect ly lighted and ventilated not only with many windows but with regular sys- tenn of ventilation. Another feature of the stables is the reception rooms for ladies These rooms are elegantly fitted up. and any lady can safely go there to wait for her team. instead of having to stand on the outside and wait. as Is the case In most stables in this country.
 Birmingham is to be congratulated on having such an up-to-date stable and the public will no doubt appreciate the efforts of the company in giving 1t such an ele- gant home for horses.

Mrs. Ross InsfrucfS
 The French Chefs.

Mrs l.. K. Ross has returned from New York, where she had a series of cooking lessons from two celebrated French chefs employed by the New York Cook ing school. Ire most intricate and deli cate dishes were prepared by this pri- Vate class during Mrs. Ross stay in New York. She also took a special course in chafing dish cooking, devotng all of her time to fashionable desserts and moulding pretty meats and salads.
 In speaking of the New York Cooking school Mrs Ross was asked yesterday II the French chefs employed in the school could make the delicious hot bis cults and breads for which the south is famous, and which are always so diff cult to be obtained in the northern ho- tels
 Mrs. Ross admitted that with all their culinary knowledge and appreciation of delicious delicaces of all kinds, that their education in this respect had been neglect ed. During one of the lessons, when hot breads were being discussed, one of the Parisian chefs asked Mrs. Ross for her receipt for biscuits, and both the chef and the entire class were delighted when she consented to give a demonstrated lesson. So it was left to a southern woman to in- troduce the hot biscuit into the New York Cooking school. and probably some one ordering at random from a French menu may yet be served unexpectedly with hot biscuits.

II, c. Harris, the we'll known barber, whose shop is in the Florence hotel, has added another feature to his already up- to-date barber shop. He has just in- stalled an antiseptic sterilzing machine. This machine has apartments for razors, shears, wet and dry towels, and every thing is thoroughly sterilized before it is used on a customers face. This move on the part of Harris will be thoroughly appreciated by his many old customers and will no doubt bring him many new ones, as persons having work done by him will know that everything pertaining to his work will be thoroughly healthy and clean
