SAYS WORLD IS GOING MAD
SO Declares Or. Forbes Winslow, EN-
pert on Criminal Lunacy, In
Recent Publication.

London.-According to Dr. Forbes
Winslow, who acquired international
celebrity by his sedulous insistence on
his theory that Jack the Ripper" was
a homicidal maniac. the world is go
ing mad
DIR. Winslow considers that the rate
OF progress TO that contamination is
shockingly rapid. In book of remi-
niscences this expert in criminal luna
cy says.
by a simple arithmetical calcula-
tion II can be shown the exact year
when there will be more insane per.
sons in the world than sane. We in
England are gradually approaching,
with the decadence OF our youth, near
proximity to nation OF madmen.
by comparing the lunacy statistics
Of 1869 with those OF 1909, four de-
cades having intervened. my renec.
tions are sad indeed. A terrible but
real curse Is In store. and an insane
world seems TO me certainty In the
not far distant future.
In 1869, out OF population OF
22.223. 299, there were 53.l77 registered
lunatics In England and Wales, there
being one lunatic in every AIS of total
population. whereas In 1909. out OF a
population OF S6.756. .6l6. the number OF
registered lunatics was l2S.7S7. max
ing on an average one lunAtic In every
27s OF population. SO that In forty
years an enormous increase in lunAcy
is seen. Surely a dreadful future for
nations still unborn to have to cope
with.
These are the facts, and sad to TO
fleet upon. They must be accepted
They cannot in any way be challenE'
ed"
Dr. Winslow's phrsseology is some
times unhappy. as when he writes. for
instance:
II have breathed the atmosphere OF
lunacy for over sixty years. and the
conclusions l arrive at are pessimistic
IN the extreme"

gallon. end. while It takes four gal
Ions OF cider for a gallon OF apple
butter. the only outlay In cash is the
nineteen cents a gallon. except what
no pays for the spices. For every
barrel OF cider he needs two bushels
OF nice sweet apples. The ordinary
cooking for a family consists OF twr
barrels OF cider and four bushels OF
apples. and the result is twenty gal
Ions OF apple butter.
II the farmer preferred to sell the
apple butter he can realize from sixty
cents TO one dollar a gallon-twice
as much as he could get for the apple
butter that was made during the
shifting party" period. The Mogels
have made as high as $4,000 gallons
Of cider and 1000 gallons OF apple
butter in a season. The high mark
for one day was 1923 barrels of cider
and 24O gallons OF apple butter. Dur
ing the busy season they work day

BAN ON UNMARRIED WOMEN
TUFTS President Says Mlddle-Aged
splnsters Should BE Banished az
College Teachers.

Medford. Mass.-President Fred
erick w. Hamilton Of Tufts college
has come out with the positive as
sertlon that unmarried woman teach
ers should be barred from girls col.
leBes because their influence is harm
ful. He says:
Il do not believe that young girls
who are Just passing into young wom-
anhood are in the proper environment
when they are continually brought in
to close personal touch with elderly
unmarried women.
The larger proportion OF women's
colleges are I'm the hands OF woman
teachers, however. and the education

mime the peculiar type of feminity
developed by highly cultured, middle
aged unmarried women. Now, while
the type may be very fine individual

the atmosphere for girls at the for

outlook on life. which believe is the
most important part OF the college

not be so unless formed in an en-.
vironment OF breadth.

too. and In preparatory schools the
influence OF the unmarried, middle
aged woman Is counteracted by the
dominating influence of the home.
believe that an element OF married
teachers, widows. who we're teachers
before marriage, perhaps. would be
beneficial. The relationship OF these
schools and their pupils is different
however. because the pupils live at
home. The girls at college live a
purely academic life. They are on
their resources and they face prob
lens that are quite new to them
They are to be trained to become
competent and important parts oi
life, we hope. They need large out
look and broad viewpoint. The
elements which go to give these must
be brought into their lives at this

that tend toward narrowness should

STUMPS MOVED VERY CHEAP
charpIt Method OF Taking Out Tree
Roots on Cleared Land Prov.
Ing Successful.

Chehalls. Wash Chehalis is just
NOV the center OF an interesting eX-
pertinent In land clearing. Recently
through the Offices of Secretary Mer.
lrell. OF the Chehalis Citizens club.
an arrangement made with Harry
Thompson OF the United States de-
lpartment OF agriculture. with head
quarters at Seattle, and Prof. IL. w.
Sparks. farm demonstrator OF the
state college. to conduct some expert
ments with the charpit process OF
burning out stumps on loggedofr
bands. The work has just been com
,pleted at the farm OF Henry Duper
tuis. near Chehalis.
One hundred fir stumps. from two
TO four feet in diameter. were kept
burning In this test. an accurate ac-
count was kept OF labor. Stumps
were completely destroyed. and roots
burned out at an average cost OF 80
oents per stump.
This voluntary work OF the Citizens
club Of Chehalis will. It is hoped.
prove OF great value to western Wash
nngton and Oregon, as II establishes
the value OF the charpit burning meth
cd OF clearing logged-off lands. The
process works most effectively on clay
soil.
The method has two valuable fea.
tures. First. II can be successfully
conducted without the high.pricsd
skilled labor required for the blasting
powder and donkey engine process.
Boys from fourteen to sixteen years
OF age can do the work thoroughly.
Then, 1t leaves highly fertiliIed seed
beds for grasses. grains. berries or
other fruits. whereas blasting tears
holes in the ground and lifts the hard.
pan to the surface.
Photographs taken on the farm OF
DIR. Dupertuis. where he has hereto
fore used the charpit process, show
that wherever a stump was burned
out there was invariably a heavier
growth OF grain or grass than on ad-
Joining ground. Fruit trees planted
over such a spot showed an unusual
growth as compared with others
