Picking pockets not only Is a danger
Gus business, requiring a lot of deft-
ness and special training, and in
volving the maximum danger of ar
rest, but the pickpockets l interviewed
declare that 1t can only be made to
pay decent living wages by the hardest
of work
One woman pickpocket, whose pic
ture is in every rogues gallery in the
country, informed me that during two
thirds of her time she could not make
enough money to support herself at
picking pockets, and was forced to re-
sort to vice to earn a livelihood.
The trouble with picking pockets is
that the thief must 80 it blind, and
after the police gets his record such
tricks as loafing in stores and around
banks to spot people who show rolls
of bills are impossible.
The men who follow circuses and
street fairs informed me that they can
average about $40 a day during the
summer if they escape arrest but must
loaf most of the winter, not daring to
work in their home towns. The ex-
penses are heavy and they seldom
have any money.
The hold-up game is not a remuner-
alive one. The average earnings of 16
hold-up men were about 81 a day dur

west POINT HOHORS YALE
TRIES NEW DIET
Dr.. Anderson Goes to Mi il
tary Academy to Learn
Conditions.

Practical values which are placed by
those who have investigated the sub
ject of the new methods Of eating as
advanced by Horace Fletcher, DR.. van
Someren and others, and supported by
the experiments of Professor Chitten-
den of Yale, are strikingly illustrated
by the interest and approval manifest
ed in these new methods by army and
navy authorities of the United States.
The latest manifestation of this in
terest and approval is furnished by the
action of Colonel Scott, superinten-
dent of the United States military aca-
deny at West Point, who has invited
Horace Fletcher to come to the aea-
DENY and instruct the cadets Of the
athletic association in the new princi-
pies and applications of dietary econ
omy.
DR.. Fletcher, accompanied by DR.
William G. Anderson, director of the
Yale gymnasium, visited West Point
last week to look over the situation
and decide whether 1t was at this time
practicable for Mr.. Fletcher PERSONAL
ly to undertake the instruction of Tn
Gle Sans fledgling military officers.
AT present the cadets at West Point
eat the regulation army ration, modi-
fled to some extent by the fact that
they are officers in the making. 1t is
a diet somewhat finer in quality, per-
haps, and more varied in makeup
than that given to the soldiers in the
ranks. It is exceedingly rich in pro-
teids-the muscle and cell builder
among the food elements which in
simple language, means that it is very
rich in meat
No attempt is made in these expert
ments to lessen the amount Of meats
eaten by the subject this phase being
left entirely to the subject. But as the
science of mastication progresses there
is evidenced a lessening in the amount
Of meat eaten. This results In making
the weight less without in any way de-
creasing the strength Of the subject,
but rather in building up his strength
and endurance.
1t is obvious what an advantage 1t
would be in the administration of the
most difficult perhaps, Of all military
problems 10 nave soldiers ana sailors
adopt the new ideas. There would be
the saving Of money, there would be
the saving of weight carried by ind-
vidual soldiers and by the food wagons
and transports; but most important Of
all other things, say the would
be upholders of these new ideas
would be the increase in the
strength, endurance and health
by the men by the practice OF rational
habits of eating and drinking
When Professor Fisher had concluded
his elaborate and exhaustive studies Of
endurance recently at Yale with nine
healthy students who adopted land
have since kept up the practice Of
thorough mastication, he says that the
improvements the men made were al
most Incredible" ..
If the dietetic rules of tho sxperi-
ments are followed, no self denial as 10
foods is required" said Professor fish
er. 1T Is, however, absolutely neces-
sary that there should be self control
enough to break UP the habit of hur-
ried eating to which modern oivilza-
ton has brought us, habituating us,
as it does, to eat against time"

rn1rvEs MAKE POOR n1r1NG.

3. Franklin was right about honesty
a. least partly. Honesty may not be
the most paying investment, but it is
the safest and most conservative, and
! dishonesty in the individual does not
pay.
In making this statement I must
qualify 1t to some extent, but not
enough to affect the general truth. The
qualification is that not one of the
forms of dishonesty which / have in
yestigated pays from a commercial
Istandpoint. In making the investlga-
ton l purposely have omitted entirely
any consideration Of social, ethical or
moral factors, but have interviewed
and investigated only with a view Of
lascertaining whether or not It pays
financially to be dishonest.
The police of four cities have as
sisted and the wardens of two state
lpenitentiaries graciously have per-
mitted me to make investigations.
have talked with 142 known and con-
fessed dishonest men in prison, and
40 dishonest men who are not arrested
and, with three exceptions, not one
lot them said that he could make as
much money by dishonesty as by
working steadily. Many asked for time
to remember sums dishonesty secured
and later, after figuring 1t out, were
as frankly surprised at the showing as
any one could be-
Hi said one. ME a bank rob-
Der and earning less in three years
than the bookkeepers in the banks"
If that man ever reforms Che is sery
Ing II years. it win be because he
figures that the game does not pay.
Train robbing Is the most remuner-
alive form of dishonesty, crooked
gambling second, robbing banks (by
officials) third, and so on down to
picking pockets, which is the poorest
paid branch of the profession. Shop-
lifting is fairly remunerative, burg
larry pays less than the $50 q month a
policeman earns, and the hold-up a
man makes less money than the labor
er at 81 a day.
Every story was the same--long
planning, weeks of poverty ana
scheming~~ and then, even when sue
.cessful only months wages for de-
cent working man.
The police estimates of the average
earnings of thieves from house burg
laries is even lower. There are listed
with the Chicago police about 900
known burglars, and if they got full
value for all the stuff stolen from
Chicago houses during the year they
would not make $50 a year each. True,
most of these men work the out,
side; but even if the Chicago rob-
bers stole everything stolen in Illinois
during the year they would not make
a decent living.
In fact, to make money rObbing
houses a man requires such a high or
Ter of intelligence or cunning that he
would be tempted to burglary only by
absolute knowledge that some large
sum of cash was in a certain place.
The great majority of burglars are
