The Girl in the Moon

Prof. William Verbeck ethnologist of
Indianapolis, who has been studying
the folk lore and traditions Of the Es-
kimos of northern Labrador, returned
recently from ST. Johns, Newfound-
land, by the Red Cross liner Florizel,
with a notebook full of observations
that he has taken in the year he spent
in the north. He said he found the Es-
kimos intelligent and little affected by
contact with the whites

according to the legend, became angry

She was much too swift for him. Finally
she got to the edge OF a precipice and
he thought he had her then. But her
momentum was so great that instead Of

Interesting Things Worth

A 81 bill recently subjected to a mi
croscopical examination by government
experts contained 92,000,000 germs.
In the last two years California,
called the Golden State, and the scene
OF more gold excitement than any
other state in the union, has produced
greater value in oil than in gold. The
value OF oil to the producers them
selves last year was about s43, 200, 00O,
although positive figures are not yet
available, while the production OF gold
was in the neighborhood OF $21 600, 900,
or, less than half. This great advance
in oil value over gold is. it must be
understood, in no way aided by fall

lived here know what she has suffered.
Why not let US have this longed for
pleasure? 1t is hardly five years off
now and time passes SO quickly that

Let us pretend we have beaten New
Orleans and the fair is ours. In what
part of the city would we have 1t situ-
ated? II I alone were to answer that
question I would say, Have 1T situ-
ated In Golden Gate park, where the
dear old Pacific ocean is visible" What
beautiful spot that would be for a
fairi What q lovely entrance there
would be to it! We would have fine
roads made from all parts Of the coun-
try and city to the fair. How inter-
esting it would be to watch it being
built

The Panama Canal
BY FLORENCE RIEsTER

Almost every one In the United
States realizes how great an undertake
ing the Panama canal is, and what it
will mean to the world when it is
finished AS early as 1920, when men
saw that the only way of getting
into the Pacific ocean by way Of the
new world was by going around South
America, they had visions of an 18TH
mian canal ss
Some years ago the French acquired
the right to dig canal across Panama.
They spent vast sums of money upon
the undertaking. But so many mis-
takes were made and so little money
could be got to carry on the work that
De Lesseps. the engineer. became dis
couraged and the rights were sold to
the United States. Since then the work
has progressed rapidly and now, at
last, the undertaking which many men
shook their heads over few years
ago is nearly completed. The great
mass of rock which was the chief bar
rier is bored more than one-fifth
through. and In the early part of 1915
the first ship will sail from New York
to San Francisco by way Of Panama
in II days. -
Think OF what this will mean to our
country when the Pacific coast Ha-
wall and the Philippines will be thou
sands of miles nearer by ship to the
Atlantic coast, and Europe and Asia.
so far as commerce is concerned, will
be much closer together

Local Geography

ST. Peters school, Eighth Grade.
Age 13 Years

In our schools they teach a great
amount of geography-that of Europe,
Asia, Africa and our own country; but
the geography or our own city and its
vicinity is almost completely left out
How many people living in this city
know that the Twin peaks are about
1000 feet high, or how far 1T is from
the FOOT of Market street to the Cliff
house or how many acres are contained
in Golden Gate park?

Der of the people of San Francisco
could know these things, a large map
should be placed in every classroom.
This map could range in size according
to the grades. This being done. 1t
would promote more interest in the
city and help people in knowing the
streets
Some day I believe that this subject
Will be OF great public interest to San

TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS
is AN ECHO OF DARK AGES

LOS ANGELES, April 22.-[Edltor
Herald:
Until the world grows wise enough to
know
That murder does not justify.
Nor crime give moral right to crime,
the race
Must stagger on in darkness and de-
spair."
That the treatment of criminals to-
day is far superior to any previous age
is a fact, but that it is still carried on
i'm a way that harks back to a darker
time is also a fact
Eugene Smith, famous criminolOgist
says: 1T is not easy to see how pun
ishment ever came to be regarded as
an expiation for crime" "The criminal
must be treated until cured" AT
tempts to make the punishment fit the
crime are an absurdity; only Omnis
cience can measure guilt" These state
ments are in accordance with other
leading thinkers throughout the world,
and no doubt criminals procedure is
doomed to undergo a radical change.
1t is self-eVident that any individual
who is afflicted with a lack of good
Judgment, and therefore commits
crimes, is not himself absolutely to
blame for his deficiency. The society
into which he was born or his heritage
or both are the causes of his failings,
therefore how can any court of man
Judge him correctly? No one can enter
into anothers mind and trace the way
he reasons and why he does not rea-
son correctly, and until man can do

course of his argument recited The

But an interrupter arose and strode
forward.

PROSPERITY

A GAIN has Greater Los Angeles
n broken all records for building
IA permits. High mark record was
established in June, 1906, when the
issue Of a permit for one building
worth $4,000 900 brought the total to
S2.371 600: But this month a total of
81. 900 600 is in sight. Total valuation
of permits issued for the first quarter
of the year is s4,969.391. Added to the
total of this month to date, this
figure is increased to $8,07Z8OS
This magnificent record of progress
and prosperity is supplemented by an
other Los Angeles bank clearings
records have been broken by the total
of this week, which is $1S,09o,203, and
establishes a new high mark for

Increase over the total for the corre-

WOULD START SOCIETY
TO PROTECT cARBAGEs

LOS ANGELES, April 19-[Edtor
accuses vegetarians of inconsistency
because they interfere with the plants
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. He cannot see why IL is
any more cruel TO kill an OK than to
take the life of hundreds of plants
for the same purpose, for they both
live.
l would suggest to our friend whose
heart bleeds at the suffering of Vege-
tables to start a society against cru
city to cabbages. L take the liberty to
doubt whether he has ever felt the
same .compunction while slaughter
ing" cabbages that he would experience
while cutting the throat of some harm
animal.
If plants have a nervous system and
a capacity for suffering no true vege-
tartan would hesitate to abstain from
,"killing" them for food, provided they
could live on air. on the other hand,
millions of vigorous vegetarians have
for many centuries proved that men
can live and prosper without practic-
ing cannibalism.
With the growth of modern vege-
tarianism it is only a quetsion of time
when human ingenuity will find a sat
isfactory substitute for leather shoes
at rates accessible to all.
Amicus says it has not been proved
that Vegetarians are free from human
ailments and possess more endurance
than flesh eaters do.
Where has a been hiding all this
time? Has he read of the great vic
tories won by vegetarians in Germany,
England, etc, in walking, running or
bicycle races?
Has he never heard of the wonder
full feats of strength and endurance
by the porters of Cairo and Constanti-
nople or the Egyptian boatmen, while
living on a meager diet of dates, bread
and water?
Even our conservative drug physi-
clans of the old school are commencing
to see the light and are more and
more recommending non-flesh dietaries
to their patients.
If A. believes that vegetarians can
not stand as much exposure as flesh
eaters and freeze sooner, 1 will show
him a family Of seven who enjoy their
cold morning dip while our we'll fed
neighbors hug the stove.
OF course anyone paying the pen
alties for lifelong insults to nature
and then as last resort turning to the
SIMPLE life for relief must not expect
miracles. Mother Nature is far too
good a bookkeeper for that. Honor

THE LONG HAT PIN

Some of the women who wear pro-
1ecting hat pins doubtless will consider
the agitation agains. them joke.
Albert Putnam, street railway con-
ductor in Springfield, Mass, doesn't
think it a joke. While he was collect
ing fares one day last week woman
passenger turned her head quickly and
drove the point of her eighteen-inch
pin clean through his ear. one woman
at least in Chicago has had an eye put
out by such a pin under just such
circumstances. A sudden movement of
the wearer of the pin, sudden jerk
of the street car or elevator and the
damage is done.
People take greater risks every day
of their lives from other things than
hat pins. But that isn't the point.
The hat pin risk is stupid, needless
and reckless. 1t imperils eyes, and one
single human eye is worth more than
all the dagger hat pins in the world.
No woman with any regard for other
peoples rights would wear one. No
woman who does wear one is entitled
to any complaint if the city finds
good legal means of stopping her.
