arrangements for her marriage and
the choosing of husband for her and
so closely is she watched that love
affairs before marriage are unknown,

FORGET ~HoNoR THY FATHER
So Says Kansas Hospital CHIEF In
His Report Of Young People Of
That State.

Topeka, Kan.-"Honor thy father
and thy mother" is a forgotten doc
trine in Kansas, declared DR.. T. c.
Biddle, superintendent OF the Topeka
hospital for rhe insane, in his biennial
report to the state board of control.
DR.. Biddle caustically arraigns the
young people of the state for their In
difference toward the old. After re-
porting a marked increase OF senile de-
mentia since his last report DR.. Biddle
says:
1T. appears that among Kansas
young people honor thy father and thy
mother has become an antiquated
dogma"
DR.. Biddle declares most OF the
cases of senile dementia are turned
over TO the state because children do
not care to look after their aflicted
parents They are willing 70 pay the
state for keeping them, but Will not do
the work themselves. The people are
harmless, simply having a breakdown
because of age.

Man Gets Wedding Band Buried In

Boston, Mass.--Three years ago
this summer J. Franklin Brown, now
head bookkeeper in a shoe factory at
Chelsea, lost a wedding ring while
in bathing on Kings Beach. Swamp
soft. Today he has the ring, and be-
hind its restoration is a story OF a
bit of detective work.
Two weeks ago Arthur Getchell,
mail clerk in the Lynn postoffice, was
rolling around on the beach in a
bathing suit when the sandy recess
in which the ring had lain hidden for
three years was exposed. The only
clue to the identity OF abe owner was
an inscription on the inside which
read, From Flossie to Frank, Oct. IL,
1905"
How to find the owner on such a
meagre clue, when thousands bathe
on the beach every summer, was the
problem. For week Getchell
searched every place that he could
think of. Then, remembering the
old adage about two heads being bet
ter than one, he consulted a friend,
George f. Alley, and, out of their
conferences, a bright thought popped
forth: "Why not look up the marriage
records on that date"
That settled it. They found a
