What the Theory 10.
The theory Of the detective in the or
binary application Of the third degree
is that q criminal almost invariably
has secret craving to confide in some
one, especially after he has been lock-
ed In dark cell q day or so, and the
confinement has begun to worry him.
When he is thought to be In a proper
frame OF mind he is taken to the office
and talked to kindly at first. Then the
Quizzer begins to show evidence
against him, hints how dark the fu-
ture Is and suggests that he had better
relieve his mind by an honest confess
sion. He is bombarded with start
lingly direct questions, based on the
evidence in hand or on shrewd deduc-
lions. II he remains obdurate the per-
sonality Of another detective is tried.
Sometimes this is continued unceasing-
~ for many hours. The prisoner is OF
ten deprived of sleep and sometimes
after days Of questioning, during which
time he Is fed on poor food, he breaks
down and cOnfesses to q crime OF
which he knows nothing upon the
promise that he would be given a light
sentence II he admitted the deed.
Another method which comes under
the so-called third degree Is that OF
showing the prisoner the dead body OF
the murdered victim. Deliberately
frightening confession out of q
criminal by artificial means has more
than once proved effective with Grim
inals Of low intellectual caliber. and in

DR.. ELIOT STUDIES SOCIALISM,.
After studying the returns of the
recent election in which the Social.
lists made such surprising showing,
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emer.
titus of Harvard University, became
deeply interested in the subject of
Socialism and commenced study Of
the cause and effect" as he terms it.
In, the course OF his investigation
this eminent scholar made a trip to
Milwaukee. where he spent two days
studying that city's socialist chief
executive, Mayor Seidel, his methods
and the. strength of his party.

that newer social sense has been
developed. AS i said, think 1t Is

HOW TO PREPARE. PACKAGES.

In order to minimize the number OF
packages lost during the coming holi.
day season by the express companies
the public has been asked to observe
a number OF very simple suggestions.
If these are followed by the patrons
of the express companies 1t will result
in an advantage all around.
The instructions us to packing will
apply equally to the preparation of
mail as express packages and the car.
rying out of these instructions will In
sure the prompt delivery OF gifts in
good condition. e.
Here are some OF the suggestions:
First-Ship your packages early, by
the 18th of December II possible. The
express company will give you a small
label to paste on the package reading
Don't open until Christmas. This
will insure. the delivery of the pack:
age before Christmas and give the ad.
dltional pleasure to the recipient OF
having 1t on Christmas morning.
Seeond-Use wooden boxes for
packing. Glass or. fragile articles
should be well protected. 1t may cost
a few cents more, but the danger of
loss or damage is very much lessened
True, IL the shipments lost or dam.
aged, the express company will pay
for It but that will give your friend
no pleasure. ~
Third-Write the address in full,
stating county, city, street and num-
Der on the box or package with ink or
crayon. Tags are frequently torn off
and lost.
Fourth-If you want to prepay the
charges, write the word paid in
large, plain letters on the package.
Fifth--lnslst upon getting a receipt
and see that the amount paid Is mark
ed on thesrecelpt and package and the
value of the package declared thereon.
Sixth-Wrlte your own address in
full somewhere on the package follow-
