THE MASSACRE OF THE TOM

When medical journal thinks enough of an address lo print il a second time it is obvious that the paper has unusual merit, and that it has attracted widespread attentions; and that is precisely what the Maryland Medical Jour nal does in the case of an ad- dress delivered by pr. John N. Mackenzie, clinical professor of laryng0logy and rhinoloEy al inc Johns Hopkins university. on lllc subject of "Thc Massacre of the TOnsil."
 Dr. Mackenzie is q frank con- irOvcrsialist: he assumes fair share of the responsibility for the practice with which Inc quarrcls "nor do I wish to shift to other shoulders" he says, "all the blame; l. too. in my earlier days. have fallen by the way: indeed, it was once facctiously said that the street in front of my office was paved with the turbinatcd bones of my victims"
 Thus assuming in part rcspon- sibility for an evil against which he now protests. pr. Mackenzie urges vigorous objection to "thc indiscriminalc and wholesale de- sirucfion and removal of the ton sils," and declares 1t to be "tht chief and most glaring abuse ir the laryngology oq tho present day pr. Mackenzie goes fur thcr and quotes q friend of cmi- nence who declared that the in

MARRIED AND SINGLE.

One of the most interesting items of the last annual report of the New York SupcrintcndcntS < of prisons is the comparative number of married and single in our states prisons. In nearly all of them the proportion Is about twice as many single as married. In Sing Sing there are 5i2 mar ricd prisoners, 903 single, 18 widowcrs and five divorced out of i,52S. The proportion of sin gle io married iS not quite so high in Auburn, but in Clinton, where there arc many multiple offenders. there are nearly three lines as many of the single aS of married. Evidently marriage iS the great slcadicr. Or perhaps il iS lhai women choose hose men as husbands whose charac- l"rS are likely in make good, law abiding citirZnS of them. There is just one sad reflection. and that is that the statistics show that there are several thousand children of the married prison CTS whose future is likely to be seriously affected by the disgrace of their fathers.

If human in ielligencc is measured by the in- tcreSts we take in the problem of the greatest importance in de- iermining the destiny of the race, what hall we say of our igno- rance and lack of f0rcthOught with regard lo the most vital of all human problems? Modern civilization is constantly increas- ing the strain on the most deli cate organ in tho human body, while but puny efforts are mada to supply the opportunities for obtaining the information about the brain necessary to avert dis aster from overwhelming the hu- man race.

 ing other officials and attempt-
 ing to corrupt prosecutors and courts, it is 10 the credit of the man who will stand forth in the public cause and fight them to the last ditch. Prosecutor Whit man is fighting the cut-ihroat gang of New York. The law-abid- ing element has his sympathy and his support. A large fund is be- in" subscribed to aid him. Tho public press is rendering vast as siSianrr hy lifting the Iih and pIrturing the situation in all itS 
 But the wonder of il iS that Sn much corruption could have been carried on so long without raus 'ng alarm. Millions have been collected annually from gamblers and others of the un- dcrwnrld, and distributed as spells among corrupt officials. Hush money has blinded the blackmailing police to the dark est crimes. Boys and girls have been ruined, women have been outraged, men have been robbed, families have been wrecked and the city menaced. Such rotten h, ss threatens the foundations of a nation. New York is not alone in such vile conditions. Similar gangs exist in many other cities. More Whitmans arc needed over inc continent to purge the police forces and rid the cities of the l"echeS who league with outlaws. If New York courts display the courage they should in dealing with the Roscnthal murderers and other gildcd criminals they will strjk" a blow that will have far reaching influences in many cen tr"S.

 Cowing from such an eminent man as pr. Mackenzie, this lan- guage Is rather vigorous, and it is not at all surprising that his ad- dress should have created such a profound impression in medical circles. And the issue raised by him is of as much importance to the layman as it is to the physi- elan.

STEALING DAYLIGHT.

It is a well known principle of physics that is described in the common saying that a man rant lift himself by his boot fops. To save sunlight by turn ing back the hands of the clock an hour would seem to belong to a similar class of impOsSibilities, but. as a matter of fact. il does moi. This was proved in Moose Jaw not long ago, when the cleo iric. power house burned down, leaving the citizens without light. The city council rose iO the Occa- sion by ordering the town hall clock advanced one hour at mid- ing that everybody got up at the same lime, the town rose iO sec The hands of the clock pointing fO seven. As q matter of fact, IL was only six, and the people Mhr hurried to work had been un- con sciOuSiy dcfraudcd of an hour. But the i2 o'clock whistles blew at II o'clock instead of I2, and work for lhc day ceased at fivc instead of six. though cvcrybof , called il six. The result is that ir Moose Jaw the people rise and rat their break fast by daylight! and get home in time to eat their evening meal before the sun goes down. Therefore. the disaster iC inc electric power plant has moi SD seriously incOnvrnicnccd them as il would if they had not stolen that midnight hour.

LO0SENESSOF PARTS
CAUSES TROUBLES
IN TRANSMISSION
Knocking Noises Worry Mo-
torists In Discovering
Source of Break.

Transmission troubles, although not
as frequent as motor troubles, are
usually more serious, since they are
more often the result of breakage
rather than mere misad djustment.
The veriest novice should have little
difficulty in distinguishing between
motor troubles and transmission
troubles. There is only one possibility
of mistake, that being the case of
knocking and hammering noises,
which some times seem to come from
almost any part of the underbody.
Most confusing are the knocking
noises which seem to come from under
the footboard and may result from a
worn crank shaft or bearing or loose
part in the clutch. If the noise stops
when the car is stopped, with the motor
running free, diagnosis would seem to be
easy; yet II sometimes happens that a
bearing which is perfectly quiet when
running free will develop a bad knock
when running under load For one who
has no previous acquaintance with the
car the best method of distinguishing be-
tween these Is to take up the footboard
while the car Is running and get an
ear as close as possible to the source
of the noise.
One primary distinction can be made
in all cases of transmission trouble
either the car will run or it will not.
The troubles which come in the latter
class are usually-contrary. perhaps, to
ones first thought-the least serious.
Having once determined that the COM
bination of motor running gears In mesh
and clutch engaged Will not move the
car. the first thing to do Is to find
whether the actual position of the clutch

Schedule for Season
Beaten By Cadillac

N Is a difficult matter to grasp the
signficance of an industrial achieve
ment which involves the manufacture
and marketing OF l2,0O0 high-grade auto
mobiles in one year on schedule time.
The Law mind cannot at once appreciate
the perfection of system and perfect CO.
operation necessary to bring this about.
The schedule is too big. the figures too
large. and the details too multitudnous
to understand unless one has been
through such a campaign and assisted
In bringing II to a successful termina-
tiOn.
Recently the Cadillac Motor Car Com
panv finished its manufacturing season.
The occasion was marked by the fact
that 1t had beaten by a few hours Its
schedule for the year. \ year ago the
executives mapped out their plans to
manufacture and market u, 900 Cadillacs.
The schedule called for completing that
number on June 90. 1912. In that very
day at o'clock the last of the 12,G00
cars passed through the assembling de-
partment so the years schedule had two
and one-half hours to spare.
Plans made year before, involving this
vast undertaking, were carried out to
the dot, which is excellent evidence of
efficiency. both in the department Of
production and of sales. Only the most
rigid and intelligent of systems could
achieve results of this natuTe-results
which involve an enormous physical un-
dertaktng and exceptional executive
ability.

Substitute Grease Cups.
There has been a noticeable elimIna-
ton of oiling places, and wherever lubri-
cation is required nickeled grease cups
have been substituted for oil cups. The
foreparts of the rear springs are in
closed by sheet metal housing instead
of being left exposed. Tlmken roller
bearings are used on the front axle In

on the 1912 Model So.
SO dependable and reliable has the

only minor details and refinements have

Finds Way to Steal
Rides on Motor Cars

Great railway systems are constantly
battling against the free reign of the
hobo, the gentry OF the side-door pull
man. This system of free transporta-
tiCn Is a menace to steam traffic that
the most cncerted efforts have failed to
stamp out.
Young America with its inventive
genius and it's ''up-to-thc minute" pro-
clvities for enjoying the easiest and the
best, has opened up a new field for high
class hoboeS and more youthful victims
of the wunderlust.
Herman Hendricks, of BrownstoWn
Ind.. is the youth to whom credit must
be given for having found a way that
is altogether new and original. Herman
vas caught stealing ride on a tour
ing car, and his resting place was far
more comfortable than riding the
lods," as more mature hOboes are prone
TO do. Herman was discovered COM
fortably Curled up inside of the tires

cars that participated in the Indiana
Fonr-Ststes tour. He had ridden from
Prownstown to Seymour, Ind, and de-
ClaTed that the stunt was one of the
most pleasant experiences OF his young
life.
Tourists who carry tires on brackets
al the rear of their cars may unwitting-
ly be carrying an extra passenger, If
the seat is as comfortable as that dis
covered by Herman Hendricks on the

The change-gear and clutch connec-

do Is to take off the lid of the gear-box,
and note whether the gears move, or
attempt to move, in conjunction with

lies with them; II not, with the con-

The WHY'S Overland Company, Of
Toledo, represented in this city
by the Overland Washington Motor
Company, offers for 1913 30
horsepower, five passenger, fore
door touring car, fully equipped
a much larger car than the

craftsmanship, the new Model SO eX-
getic WHY'S has yet offered motor

Car Has Greater Wheel Base.
The wheel base on the new car has
been increased to 10 inches. while
the body has been heightened and
deepened. making the car have a more
roomy and spacious appearance. All
bright parts are nickel plated instead
OF brass plated, while the radiator is
enameled in keeping with the body
hnish. The 32 by 3h inch wheels are
this year painted gray with black
stripping and black hubs.
The hood has been heightened sew
eral inches, allowing the motor to
set forward more than 1t did last sea-
son, which makes for greater accessi-
bllity. The tonneau is larger and the
sides have been raised nearly three
inches. making better arm rest and
riding in general more comfortable.
With the lengthening of the hood
more room has been acquired for
those riding in the front seats.
noted Improvement has been made
in the braknR system, an entirely new
design being adopted. The contracting
brake has an inside diameter of thir-
teen inches and the brake shoe IL two
and a quarter inches in width. The ex-
panding brake has a diameter of thir-
teen and three-eights inches.

LACK OF O|L|NG IS
; RESPONSIBLE FOR
TROUBLES ON ROAD
Motor Car Difficulties Can
Often Be Traced to Poor
Lubrication. ,.

"Three-quarters of all the road trou-
bles of the automobile tourist are due
TO lack of proper lubrication,'" says
a well-posted motor car dealer of this
city. "and 1t is often merely lack OF
fabrication that makes a car grow pre-
maturely old.
IF the drfver-owner will but read
the instruction book on fabrication
issued by every motor car manufac-
turer, he will save himself a lot OF un-
necessary trouble and expense. Many
motoists say: We'll, j guess 1t will
run another day without oiling.' Per-
haps II will. 1t may run another two
days without squeak, but there is
just so much extra wear on the mech
anism, which will come to the surface
sooner or later.
II always warn the novice driver in
regard to sufficient fabrication. Then l
say to him: II your motor begins to
pound or act peculiarly, don't go at It
