There seems to be something in a
name after all.

THIS seasons output of binder
Irvine from the various prison plants
has been immense. Warden He'll
strom states that total of 3,119, 400
lbs, output of the North Dakota

the idea of many scientists that the
cliff jewellers were of dwarf race.

ONE who has had the opportun-
ity of making a personal study of
the ruined cities of the cliff dwellers
will be inclined to differ with the
above theory. That the cliff dwell
lers were a small race of people is
certain, but to say that they were
dwarfs is making the statement

An interesting study of crime and
it's causes has been undertaken in
Indiana, where an experimental psy-
chologist has been appointed assist
ant superintendent of the state re-
formatory at Jacksonville, especial
ly to conduct Investigations among
the inmates. The psychologist is
Prof. Rufus Bernard Won Klein
Smid, recently of DePauw univer-
sity, who preferred the opportunities
for study and public service at the
reformatory to remaining a member
of the university faculty.
1t should not be inferred that the
investigation will shortly enlighten
the world on the causes and remedies
for crime. 1t will be long time
before results are obtained. The
social history of the inmates will be
studied. While the investigation
may be of value in advising and d.
recting young men now in the insti-
tuition, it's chief worth is expected to
be in showing the state how CRIME
may be prevented.
The experiment is approved by
such authorities as DR.. Charles Hen
derson of the University of Chicago.
Z. r. Brockway of New York, who
originated the indeterminate SEN
tence and parole system, r. M. Nc
Claughry of the federal prison at
Leavenw orth, Kans., and Maud Bal
lington Booth.
The Indiana reformatory is an
institution similar to the Washing
ton reformatory at Monroe. 1t
deals with young men offenders, not
with old and hardened criminals.
Prof. Won KleinSmid thinks techni-
cal schools for boys and girls be-
tween 13 and 10 are sovereign pre-
ventives of crime, and, of course, he
believes in trade and technical
schools in reformatories.
The old saying about Satan find
ing something for idle hands to do
still holds true, though it might be
inferred from the movement against
child labor that employment is a
greater evil than idleness. The aim
should be to provide young people
with healthful occupation for a
length of time daily that will not
overtax their strength, but will yet
keep them from expanding their
energies in making trouble. Lack
of occupation accounts for a great
deal of crime.
A man who will resign from
university faculty. as did Prof. Won
KleinSmid, in order to become as
sistant superintendent and expert
mental psychologist Of a reforma-
tory institution, surely has the mind
and the heart that will make for
success in such an investigation as is
to be undertaken Tacoma Ledger.

$uubedft1$ and Shadows
By Blackstone.

Man is by nature optimistic. To
believe the best things and have
faith in the ultimate triumph of
Right as applied to the rules under
which are fought the battles of life.
We all hope for better days when
the sunbeams of prosperity and
happiness will chase away the shad-
ows now darkening our pathway in
life. 1t is much easier to be a Bull
on the market and buy stocks for
rise than to become a Bear with
pessimistic inclinations for decline
in values.
Were it not for hope the heart
would break, for hope springs eter-
nal in the human breast; this thought
is cleverly indicated by Ella Wheel
er Wilcox in the poem ending And
the Man Worth While is the Man
With a Smile When Everything
Goes Dead Wrong" This is a
thought we would do we'll TO in
corporate in those unwritten rules
that govern our daily life.
If you have had dent put into
your philosophy, smile it away. If
some one has struck a staggering
blow at your vanity, come up smil-
ing for another wollop; little van
ity is good thing to help along
your self-respect. If the Boss rips
things up and the sulpherous fumes
Of Hades concentrate their fury
about your desk, don't let him think
that you are stirred even if your
knees are shaking and your teeth
chattering. Smile on, the sun will
shine tomorrow.
In this world of ours everything
is comparative health and happi-
ness, poverty and riches. One of
the happiest and most cheerful men
| ever met was a patient in the
city hospital of Minneapolis. For
nearly seven years he has lain on
his back unable to move, even his
arms and fingers are partially stiff
ened by his malady-rheumatism,
yet he is one of the most useful men
in the hospital, outside the employ
ees. All the sharp and delicate
surgical tools are kept in proper
condition bv this patient and most
marvellous to say he shaves and cuts
the hair of his fellow patients while
they lie in their cots. How? He
passes from ward to ward lying fiat
on a narrow hospital truck which
he skillfully and rapidly manouvres
himself.
By using our eyes to see and our
ears to hear while passing along
the highways and byways of life it
is possible to acquire an individual
philosophy that will carry us over
the shadows and into the sunshine
of a contented life. So as we
journey through life let us live by
the way" making sure that the.
path is straight even if narrow.

Well, it would seem that the
chorus man was coming into his own
at last-in fiction at least. I have
run across half dozen short stories
and one novel in the past six months,
in all of which chorus man was
prominent character. In most of
them it was the old story of under
studying a principle who failed to
show up, thus giving the recruit from
the chorus a chance to demonstrate
unparalleled genius; simply a re-sex-
ing Of the chorus lady story which
had become worn beyond possibility
of further use as it was; but in
couple of instances there appeared
slight effort toward originality.
One of these is The Part,' by Bart
Kennedy, which appears in Strand
Magazine for September. Mr.. Ken
nedy gives his chorus man gumption
enough to ask for a leading part
rather than wait for chance IS
understudy to one of the principles.
Aside from this Mr.. Kennedy goes
deeper into the motives understudy-
ing actions and the emotions actu-
ating his characters conduct than
is usual with short story writer's
when dealing with the stage. His
story is very interesting and makes
it we'll worth ones while to watch
for further developments along this
line which the management of Strand
promises.
What is your idea of a comprehen-
sive CARTOON sketch containing fly

pretty girl, swell, a dog, Sher-

one-legged beggar, a COW, barrel

zine? Perhaps that comprehen-
sive" is a bit superfuous, but l use
it after studying the nine object
pictures given in September Strand
to show what could be done with
such a conglomeration of articles.
The article in which this appears is
entitled "A Puzzle For Artists" and
