WHEN HATE is MET WITH HATE.

How little we realize when we hurl
thunderbolts of hatred toward another
that these terrible thought shafs al
ways come back and wound the
sender, that all the hateful, revenge
full, bitter thoughts intended for an
other are great javelins hurled at our
se.vesl
How many people go through life
lacerated and bleeding from these
thrusts which were intended for
others
Think of what people who refuse
to speak to another, because of some
fancied grievance or wrong, are really
doing to themselves! How this
venom intended for another poisons
their own minds and cripples their
efficiency!
A kindly feeling, feeling of good
will toward another, is our best pro-
lection against bitter hatred or inju-
rious thoughts of any kind. Nothing
can penetrate the love shield, the good
will shield We are unframed behind
that
1t does not matter what feelings Of
revenge and jealousy person may
have toward us, if We hold the love
thought, the charitable thought to
ward him, his javelins of hate will
glance from us, fly back and wound
only himself.
How easily, beautifully, and sweetly
some people go through life, with
very little to jar them or to disturb
their equanimity. They have no dis
cord in their lives because their ma
lures are harmonious. They seem TO
love everybody, and everybody loves
them. The have no enemies, hence
little suffering or trouble.
Others, with ugly, grabbed, cross
grained dispositions, are always mis-
understood. People are constantly
hurting them. They generate discord
because they are discordant them
.selves.-O. S. Marden in Success

FEW CRAFT SMEN
ARE CRIMINALS
PRISON RECORDS FULLY SHOW
THE GREAT WORTH OF
EDUCATION.
VALUE OF MANUAL TRAINING
ILLUSTRATED BY PROMINENT
MISSOURI ATTORNEY.

The Importance of trade schools is
more and more being realized and
their influence upon the industrial
conditions of the country are wide
spread. The young man or woman
with trade is rarely a pauper or a
criminal The records OF the Amerl-
can prisons show that ABOUT 70 per
cent of felOns are unframed in any
honest or useful trade. In reformd-
tories more than 80 per cent nave
never learned a trade
In a recent discussion before the
National Society for the Promotion OF
Industrial Education, Thomas Speed
Mosby, pardon attorney to the COVER
nor of Missouri, said: The latest
bulletin from Washington indicates
that juvenile crime is on the in
crease. We are now expending more
money for public prisons, prosecutions
and police than we are for public edu
cation. Widespread youthful. Grimm
alism is, in and of itself, confession
of educational failure. A personal
study of some criminals has convinced
me that the radical defect in the vast
majority of the criminal population is
their utter lack of Industrial training.
By far the greater number of crlmee
committed are crimes against property.
Most criminals are thieves; men, for
the most part, who try to get living
dishonesty because they have not
learned to get it honestly. They
steal, who have not learned to WORK.
I'VE are able to estimate the direct
cost of a crime; but who can estimate
the terrible cost of that widespread
industrial ineficiency which could be
so easily remedied by youthful train
ing in manual, agricultural and trade
processes? I would not decry the
belIeslettres. l believe in the human
tiles. l revere the classics and would
by no means exclude them from the
curricula of our schools and colleges.
But may we not blend the practical
with the ideal?
IAN hours hand work a day in every
schoolroom in the land, running
through all the grades from the kinder
garten to and including the high
school, would give to every man,
woman and child of the rising gener-
alton at least the rudiments of an
honest, useful and profitable accupa-
ton; would give to all who wanted 1t
a trade, and would make OF the next
generation of Americans the most pro-
ductive and the most industrial eff
Gent race the world has ever seen.
Is it worth the experiment? l think
it is. No rich mans son would be
poorer, while every poor mans son
would be intellectually richer, with the
knowledge that this hour would give.
The cost Of school equipment would,
of course, be great; but it would be
small in comparison with the benefits
to be derived. And l believe that
every criminologist will agree with
me when / say that for every dollar so
expended two dollars will be saved in
the Iessened cost of crime"

Strikes New York and Old Folks Are
Wearing Good Luck Pins.
If Budda came to New York he
would have occasion to brood on the
significance of the extraordinary vogue
of his sacred symbol, the swastika,
among a Christian people. He would
find it confronting him on mems scarf
and women's hat pins, on perfumed
stationery, in subway advertisements,
on vehicles upon the streets. With
purchases of caramels at candy stores
he would receive white metal swas-
ka brand of cigarettes or whiskey it is.
because manufacturers have neglected
their opportunities.
Time was when only the initiated
knew the meaning of the oriental
'luck-piece" and pointed it out to the
unenlightened in the rugs on their
parlor floors or on art objects from
the far east. Now the city might be
Benares from the multi plicity of the
Hindoo emblem.
Wear6rS or the SWaStlka are not re-
citing Sanscrit prayers or going in
very seriously for Vedantic lore. The
swast:ka is simply taking its turn
among the symbols, religion being
preferred, the affectation of which is
a regular recurring far. 1t is on the
list with the scarab, the sacred beetle
of the Egyptians, and the various
crosses of unique design or mystic as
soc ation-the Maltese, with it's sug-
gestion of knights crusaders, the loop
cross, the Turkish crescent In a
sense Greek coins, canoes with clas-
sic figures, the fieur-deIys, otherwise
the "lilies of France" the shamrock,
even the humble rabbits foot or a
charm against rheumatism, serve sim
liar uses.

Baseball In Dropped from List OF

Visiting Athletes In Georgetown
Games VIII BE Entertained.

II was learned at Georgetown yesterday
that the indoor games would probably
witness the best set OF officials ever en-
gagged for an athletic meet in this city.
As yet no announcement has been made,
but the management has been in CORE
spondence with the best men in this part
Of the country, and there is little doubt
that a corps OF competent officials will
be obtained.
II has been decided that this year the
reception committee al the hall will In
clude men from all departments Of the
university. In years gone by only men
in the college have been accorded this
honor. but this year in pursuance Of the
policy adopted at the outset, the down.
town departments viii be rendered invi-
tations to help make the meet a success.
The various other committees, hail. ar
rangements, floor, entries, and press, will
be announced the latter part Of this week.
In keeping with the desire to have the
floor clear. the list OF officials viii be
as small as possible. No athlete will be
event is called and Immediately after his
event Is run off must retire to the dress
ing rooms The awarding OF prizes viii
not be on the floor, as formerly. but viii
be distributed at convenient place pro-
vided for this purpose. and thereby pre-
vent the crowding Of athletes not actually
competing on the floor.
In keeping with the custom OF former
years, the Georgetown meet will be mark
ed by social affairs, which have always
added 10 the attractiveness Of the local
meet for out-of-town athletes.
The most prominent men competing. to-
Eether with the officials Of the meet, will
be the guests of the track department of
Georgetown at a smoker given in its now
elegantly appointed boat club quarters.
and afterward at a dinner. This, as in
former years, will in all probability be
held at the New Willard Hotel, and will.
no doubt. witness the most thoroughly
collegiate gathering of the local season.
The University Club viii also be asked
20 arrange some affair for the boys. and
from the queries daily being received
from various members they will, no doubt
attend the meet in full force, each man
10 cheer for his alma mater.
Another new departure is the makeup
OF the souvenir programme. This year it
will contain aipage for every college com
peting. Yale. Princeton, Cornell, Columbia,
FOrdham, Johns Hopkins, and all the
nearby schools. Pictures Of the various
squads, together with the manager of
each team, will be obtained. il present
