luxury. Habit has much to do with
1t. Moreover. the range of temperature
Is smaller In Europe than IN this coun.
try. The summers are cooler and the
winters warmer. Ice Is not SO much
needed. and Jack Frost Is not SO gen.
crous In providing It.
While the Delaware and Hudson
Hallway was issuing an order that
men over 35 years old shall not be re-
ceived into the company's employ as
workmen. the Democrats were pre-.
scnting as n candidate for the Vice
Presidency man 81 years of age. The
railway company Is evidently not IN
sympathy with the views expressed by
the late Governor Allen of Ohio: TT
isn't how long man has lived that
cunts; It's what's left of him."

While q woman was waiting to de.
poslt five dollars In u New England
savings bank she saw man draw ont
nine hundred dollars. She had never
before seen SO much money ut once,
and concluded that the hank could not
stand such a heavy drain on Its re-.
sources. She told her friends about Il.
and the news spread that the bank
was In danger. A run" followed. and
the depOsitOrs were not satisfied that
the bank was sound until between ten
and twenty thousand dollars had been
withdrawn. The men who read this
paragraph need not say that the thing
would not have happened II It had not
been for silly woman. Full-grOwn
men. with years Of business expert.
encc. do Just as silly things when they
get frightened about losing their
money.
1t appears from q tabulated state.
ment Of the results Of the annual tar.
get practice issued by the Navy Do
partment that the ginners Of our iiest
have attained very high degree OF
accuracy. This IL particularly true
with regard to guns Of tive.inch calibey
and upward. The North Atlantic and
the AsIatic battleshlp squadrOns have
distinguished themselves by records oil
1927 per cent and s2.Si per cent re-
spectively. The cruisers have moi
done SO well a. the battleships. Tn.
explanation Is simple enough. TIL,
larger vessel constitutes steadier yui
platform In a seaway, and. Its gun,
! being placed higher, a more perfec,
range Ia secured. This conclusion Il
emphasized by the fact that the gu,
practice Of the torpedo aotillas wa,
very unequal.
Our contemporaries have discourse,
very ably concerning the OutraRes per
petrated by the hoy bandits In Chi
cmgo and have drawn wholesome NOR
als from the retributlOn which Away
Overtakes the guilty, hut 1t seems t
us that they have glided over one I'M
portant fact. and that Ia the cause
which led up to the spasm of crime Il
juvenile circles. One of the band q
young ruffians recently apprehende
cOnfesses that he was fired to acts a
robbery and murder by reading tn
long accounts of the misdeeds OF tn
Niedermeyer gang. and he adds tina
he and his companions kept scra
books. filed with newspaper picture
of the bandits. their wicked deed,
their arsenal of destruction ana a
other features OF their worthless live
In short, the presumption IL that
the first gang of cutthrOats had nc
been so glOritied by the newspapers |
their thirst for sensation, the incel
tive for other weak-minded and III
trained boys would be lacking. In til
exercise of our noble profession let I
regulate ourselves as well as our rea,
ers.
