"Don't Give UP the Ship"
rom the New York Times

The first impulse when one hears that
the flag of Capt. James Lawrence's
Chesapeake. captured by the British
ship Shannon outside Of Boston harbor
June, 1913, is to be sold at auction in
London, is to ridicule the statement.
Relics Of this kind are as common as
the paintings Of old masters in the COM
merce of antiquities. and their authentic
ity is generally as doubtful
But inquiry In Washington naval cir
cles. and consultation Of American naval
histories, dvulge no fact which throws
doubt on the authenticity of this relic.
Mr.. Middlebrook. to whose collection it
belonged. was an antiquarian who would
have delighted old Cocklctop In the ia
nous farce mentioned by Charles Lamb.
First editions of great authors and
paintings by Memling and Leonardo did
not attract him. Shoe buckles of Nelson.
Cromwell's helmet. DR.. Johnson's specta-
cles and the trumpet which sounded the
order for the fatal charge at Balaklava
are. according to our London dispatch by
Marconi wireless service, among the
treasures he laboriously collected which
are now to be dispersed. He seems to
have been at pains to satisfy himself
of the genuineness of the Chesapeake flag.
The capture Of the Chesapeake was our
first naval disaster in the war of 1872.
Lawrence died defending his vessel, and
his famous last words. Don't give up
the ship" have been familiar to every
schoolhoy. OF course, the flag ought to
he in this country IL it is the real flag OF
Lawrence, and the librarian of the navy
inclines to the belief that it is.

INCREASE OF GAS STOCK.
Commissioners Requested to Draft q
Repeal Bill.

Chairman Smith of the House District
committee today wrote the District Com
missioners requesting them to draft a
bill to repeal the stock increase clause of
the local gas act
This action by Mr.. Smith was author
lied at yesterdays regular meeting Of
the committee. but did not become public
until today owing to the inexplicabie ap-
parent reluctance of members to discuss
the matter. 1t is understood that the
committee was practically unanimous on
the proposition.
Last January Chairman Smith intro
duced joint resolution to suspend Sec
ton D ef the gas act. This resolution
reads
Resolved. That the fifth section of the
act or Congress entitled An act relating
to the sale of gas in the District Of CO.
iumbia. approved June s. 1896, and the
Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
District OF Columbia. and all actions and
proceedings OF said court under said sec
ton are hereby suspended until the fur

one or two members of the committee
favored the adoption Of the resolution in
question Just as 1t stood. but a majority
OF the committee considered that this was
rather poor way of accomplishing the
end desired, and so Mr.. Smith was au-
thorized to request the Commissioners to
prepare a bill of repeal
Representative Campbell of Kansas
chairman of the judiciary subcommittee
of the House District committee, to which
the gas resolution In question was re-
ferred, was not at the meeting yesterday

committee did not care to act on the reso-
lution pending the courts decision. but

considered that there was not reason why

matter.

bill will come up next District day. week

Southern Schools for Crime.

From Charities and the Commons.
The lack of industrial schools stood out
strikingly In county jails in the south.
where 1 have seen pinched, white-faced
boys, ten and eleven years old, herdcd
with thieves. burglars and dope fiends.
A guard in one Jail in town of 5000
people talked with me while ten-year-
old white boy was being "jollied' by
burglar He said that as many as ten to
twelve boys between ten and sixteen years
had been in this Jail at one time. There
were six of this age at the time l was
there. l was promised that different ar
rangements would soon be made for them.
The matron of that Jail told me she be-
Iieved there were several hundred boys
that night in jais In that state under
similar conditions. Assuming that there
were only two hundred, it meant that
over one thousand boys a year at least
had such experiences, and that in ten
wears ten thousand boys under sixteen
were SO treated. Crawford Jackson of
Atlanta, Ga who is making crusade for
Juvenile protectories i'll the south, shows
us pictures of boys in stripes on the
chain gang mixing with various types or
criminals. have seen one or two such
instances myself The state can poorly
afford to add to criminality in such
frishtful manner--but the industrial
school will surely come.

When Does Reason Dawnf
| Burroughs, In Outing Magazine.

John Burroughs, In Outing Magazine.
AS there must be a point back along the
line of our descent where consciousness
began-consciousness I'm the animal and
self-consciousness in man-so there must
be a point where reason began. If we
had all the missing links in the chain, no
doubt we might approximately at least.
determine the point or the form in which
it first dawned. The higher anthropod
apes which are, no doubt, a lateral branch
of the stem of the great biological tree
that bore man, show occasional CLEANS
of it, but reason, as we aScribe 1t to the
lower orders. is more kind of sympto-
matte reason, vague foreshadowing of
reason rather than the substance itself.
For a long time the child is without rea-
son. or any mental concepts, and all its
activities are reactions to stimuli, like
those of an animal; it is merely a bundle
of instincts. but by and by it begins to
show something higher and we hail the
dawn of reason and its development from
the animal plane into the human.

Explained.
From Current Literature.


The well-known explanation that the
STIFFNESS Of the atmosphere in church Is
the cause Of sleepiness in members OF the
congregation is. according to the Revue
Scientifioue. '"insuff1cient.'' If this hy-
pothesis were tenable. argues our author
ity. 1t is manifest that the congregation
or those members Of 1t who react readily
to a soporific agent would go to sleep be-
fore the sermon began. Now, 1t is noto-
rious that the sleeping Is done during the
sermon. The true explanation is that the
auditor unconsciously hypnotizeS himself
or herself by concentrating the gaze for
long period OH a single object, whether the
countenance OF the preacher or the pulpit
or what not The more desperate the eff
fort to heed the sermon the surer this eff
feet of self-hypnotization. Those who
sleep during the sermon are consequently
the very members OF a congregation who
are entitled to higher praise for their
conscientious effort to follow the words of
the preacher.
