A certain young married couple 1--WE
wont give the name) had the first real
tilt of married life the other evening,
Young husband came home to his sup
per but found none ready and no wife
at home either. He was tired and hun
cry and had worked himself up into
quite rage when his wife came in
with large healthy smile in her face.
Oh yes, said he its alright for you to
laugh, but you'd better be making things
fly round here and Why yes, said she
that's what the women do when their
husbands get mad, but wont this time,
been haYing too good time. Where've
you been having such g God time ?
That red headed fellow got round
again Just Oh no said she Name, and
/ was down TO Smiths eating sodas.
Say they're just lovely and I got some
cream for you too. Anger died while
he thought of the cream for his supper.
Don't Fly Off The Handle-There
are some people always looking out for
sights. They cannot even receive a
friend, they cannot carry on the daily
intercourse of the family without sus-
pecting some offense is designed. They
are as touchy as hair triggers. If they
meet an acquaintance on the street
who happens to be pre-occupied with
business they attribute his abstraction
to some motive personal to themselves
and take umbrage according. They
lay on others the fault of their own ir-
ritability. A fit of indigestion makes
them see impertinence in everybody
they come in contact with. Innocent
persons who never dreamed of giving
offense, are, by momentary taciturnity,
mistaken for insult. To say the least,
the habit is unfortunate. IL is far wiser
to take the more charitable view of our
fellow beings, and not suppose a slight
intended unless neglect is open and di-
rect. After all, life takes its hue, in a
great degree, from the color of our own
mind. If we are frank and generous,
the world treats us kindly, If on the
contrary, we are suspicious, men learn
to be cold and cautious to us. Let a
person get the reputation of being
touchy, and everybody is restraint, and
in this way the chances of an imaginary
offense are vastly increased. People
who fire up easily miss much happiness.
Their jaundiced tempers destroy their
own comfort as well as that of their
friends. They have always some fan
cied slight to brood over.-Ex.

BEEF TOO HIGH! WELL, EAT
MUSKRAT, SAYS WILSON
Epicures at Church Socials De-
clare 1t to Be Great Delicacy

WASHINGTON, May 15.-If beef or
lamb costs too much eat muskrat. sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson says IL is
good. In a bulletin just issued by the
denartment he recommends muskrat
farming as profitable. He says that
the flesh of the muskrat is highly es-
teemed by the Indians of North Anerl-
ca, especially in winter u.,..
"In recent years." says the bulletin
"noanv persons of refined tastes nave
eaten the flesh of the muskrat, and con-
siderable diversity of opinion has been
exnressed as to it's palatability, but one
writer declares that muskrat IS game,
worthy of an epicure, with flavor
somewhat like the wild duck that has
been shot in the same marshes where
it has fed. 49,. ,,,..,,.a
"a number of persons have llkened
it's flavor to that of the famous terra
min of the Chesapeake" In one week
a Philadelphia dealer sold 300 muskrats
for food. ..,-
The department finds that the musk
rat is a favorite dish at church soclals
in MARYLAND and Delaware, and Uncle
inns bulletin says that to fry you let
II lie in salt water for an hour, WASH
II d1v with a cloth and season, then
dip the pieces into prepared egg batter
and dust with flour or meal. You let
the muskrat fry slowly for an hour and
serve it with a gravy of milk, putter'
flour and parsley.

Southern boulevard, DR.. Kissler of the

PROBATIONARY SYSTEM
PROVES BIC SUCCESS
Juvenile Offenders Ordinarily
Prove TraCtabIe When Placed
in Charge of the Officers

What mysterious spell is there in the
probation office of Los Angeles county
which so affects the minds of boys and
girls of youthful age that it has a
stronger hold on them than either lhelr
parents or the law?
That is the question which has been
mvstifying detectives, parents ana
others who have had anything to do
with delinquent children brought INTO
the probation office each day after
they are disposed of by the juvenile
court which generally places them on
probation.
chief Probation Officer Dodds and
Probation officer Mclaughlin both APP
pear to have some peculiar power over
the minds of the youngsters Whlcn
makes them confess their misdeeds and
causes them to try to live correctly.
MANY REPORT WEEKLY
Hundreds of girls and boys who
have been found guilty of delinquency
in one form or another during the past
few wears report to the probation OIL
Ger once a month or once a week. Many
of them have defied their parents ana
the Juvenile court habitually, but once
they get into the hands of the proba-
ton office and commence to report reg
ularly they usually experience change
of heart and try their best to keep on
the straight path and make something
of themselves
Several instances have arisen of late
where youngsters reporting regularly
to the probation office, have violated
the law in some respect once more ana
have been apprehended. They have
denied any delinquency to detectives,
parents and the court, but when con-
fronted by a probation officer have
broken dOWnsand confessed.
1t has become a matter of pride with
the probation officers, this power over
the youngsters which enables them to
secure complete confession of their
misdeeds, and it is claimed as the chief
asset of the successful application OF
the probation law.
HE TELLS THE SECRET
"There is not much of a secret about
it," said Probation Officer Dodds yes
terday. 1T is simply case where we
pIace the future of the delinquents in
their own hands. We respect their con-
fessions and take an interest in each
person reporting to the office. We do
not preach to them as to what they
should do, but we ask them to do what
is right and assist them in every way
possible There is some good in all or
them and we make the most of this,
ignoring the bad, except in cases where
probation has been violated
1--WE have hundreds of boys and girls
who appeared absolutely hopeless cases
when first placed in our hands, but
who have grown to good citizens and
are in frequent cases above the aver
age of those who never came into
courts for delinquency.
1.-THE main thing is to talk to them
as though you were on the same basis
with them The trouble with many
would-be refOrmers is that they talk
from too high a standpoint and so
never gain in the interest of the young
people. If you really take an interest
in them they respond to it wonderfully,
and the result is that they sometimes
place more faith in you than they do
in the members of their own families"

SUMMONS ATTORNEY GENERAL

SUMMONS ATTORNEY GENERAL
During the Sth, 9th and 10th
gave much consideration to the CLAWS
record as was consistent with previous
engagements, but paid no attention to
the speeches. on the 9th 1 tele-
graphed the attorney general to come
to Beverley that l might consult with
him on the case He arrived Satur-
day afternoon, September il, and pur-
suant to an appointment made by
telephone came to my home on Sun
day morning, September Il. He then
delivered to me the draft of the opin-
ion prepared by Mr.. Lawler and said
he had had an opportunity on coming
from New York to read the answers
of Mr.. Ballinger and others. 1 read
it and then said to him 1 had made uI
my mind as to my conclusions and had
drafted part of my opinion, but
wished him to examine the full record
and bring me his conclusions before
1 stated mine. He took the whole
record away.
During the day 1 examined the draft
of opinion of Mr.. Lawler, but 1t was
thirty pages and did not state the
case in the way in which 1 wished il
stated. 1t contained references to the
evidence which were useful but its
criticism of Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.
CLAWS I did not think it proper or wise
to adopt. l used only a few para
graphs from it containing merely gen.
eral statements.
1.-THE attorney general returned II
the evening with notes of the exam
ination which he had made, and re-
ported to me the conclusions which he
had made, which were in substantia
accord with my own. We then dis
cussed the matter at some length, par
ticularly some points of law involved
and took UP the opinion l had finished
and made a number of alterations, anC
as the result of that discussion l de
termined the final form L employed
and signed the same Monday, Septem
Der 13.
1.-THE conclusions I had reached Wer'
based upon my reading of the recorC
and were fortified by the oral analysis
of the evidence and the conclusions the
attorney general gave me, using notes
he had made during his reading of rht
record. 1 was very sorry not to be able
to embody this analysis in my OPINION
but time did not permit. therefore,
directed him to embody IN WRITER
statement such analysis ana cohciu
sions as he had given me, file 1t WITT
the record and date 1t prior to the date
of nv opinion, to show my decision
was fortified by his summary of the
evidence and his conclusions there
from.

AT HEELS OF BAD MULE

Missouri Court Says Plaintiff
Should Have Kept Away

MACON. Mo, May ia person who
ventures too near the protesting hoofs
of Missouri mule when the animal is
clearly in a bad humor is guilty of
contributory negligence, it was decided
by the Macon county circuit court.
Broad Johnson, driver employed in
a mine, was driving the mule Jesse
James along the mine entry when the
air underground became so foul as
to disturb the mules placid tempera-
ment.
Jesse James" bombarded Johnson
with kicks until the man became un-
conscious. Johnson sued for $4,000 and
the company said it had settled for
1928. The court sustained a demurrer
on the contention that Johnson had
strayed too near the mules firing line.
