great detective agencies, lis a school
in which young men can be trained
for the calling of detectives. l con-
slider this profession equally as i'm
portant as that of q physician, the
teacher and the lawyer, because the
man who has to ferret out crime
shoulders many responsibilities. He
must not only be able to catch a
crook, which sometimes is q difficult
task, but at times he holds the reputa-
ton of prominent men in the hollow
OF his hand. If an amateur slouth,
not qualified for his work and placed
in charge Of an important case,
should fail in his duty, some very
damaging consequences might be ex-
pected.
The course in the school should
cover period of from two to three
years. The length of time required
would, of course, be determined to
some extent by the knowledge the
pupil had at the time of enrolment. a

up the detective course could complete
it sooner than one who had very little
education in the subjects which COM
prise a collegian's course.
in school for detectives there
should be courses OF foreign languages
because linguistics is valuable asset
TO a detective. The more languages a
sieuth can master the better equipped
he Is in pursuing his work. Then there
should be courses in mathematics,
science and psychology, as we'll as the
special work which deals with crime
and how criminals are apprehended.
Science and psychology play an I'M
portant part today in the apprehcn-
sion of law-breakers. The Bertillon
system Of anthropometric measure
merlts, the study of finger prints, tho
microscope for examining blood spots,
the handwriting expert. the dicta-
graph. the sphymograph and other
modern inventions-all play their
parts in locating a suspect and deter
mining whether he is guilty or not.
The criminal of today is different
from the criminal OF yesterday. Among
the present types Of the underworld
are classes of men who are intelligent
and educated-men with college edu-
cation who have prostituted their gifts
and turned from the paths OF right
eousness and honesty. To catch crooks
OF such caliber requires men OF equal
mental ability. II is q case of brains
against brains, and the shrewdest will
win out, whether it be the criminal
suspect or the man who is to catch
him. You can we'll see why under such
circumstances a detective must ba
well fortified with a knowledge that
has Il bearing on the criminal and
his operations"

Some Famous Echoes.

Among the most noted echoes is that
heard from the suspension bridge
across the Menai strait. The sound of
a blow from a hammer on one of the
main piers Of the structure Is re-
turned in succession from each of tho
cross-b beams that support the roadway
and from the opposite pier at the dis
lance Of SIC feet, in addition to which
the sound is many times repeated be-
tween the water and the roadway at
the rate Of 20 times in five seconds.

an echo which repeats 20 syllables in
the most remarkable manner.
The famous echo at Woodstock,

TWO WAYS TO PROSPERITY
Successful Competition Means Wealth
but United Boosting of Home
Town Also Pays.

There are two ways for a business
man to become more prosperous. The
first is by active competition among
his neighbors. If he is a live one, he
realizes to the full the law Of life,
that he must hustle, or young and
brighter men will get ahead OF him.
He must get out after trade, or he
will get out Of trade.
But an additional prosperity can be
acquired. outside of whatever can be
realized as the result Of successful
competition with your neighbors, by
united efforts to make the home town
grow. The advance of whole COM
munity brings an accletion to every
one who owns real estate or bust
ness, or who has an income dependent
on the prosperity of his neighbors.
This increment brings new pros
perity without much effort. AS your
houselot grows in value the more
houses are built around 1t. so your
business grows more valuable as more
people read your advertising or pass
your door
No man is doing his duty by his own
business, unless he sets apart a Ger
tain modicum of effort to be devoted
to measures to make his home town
grow.
Any town can be made to grow by
systematic and common sense efforts
to attract new residents and indus
tries. Communities are like stores, it
takes advertising to attract interest
and attention.
Often it is not advertising spread
broadcast that lands new business. II
every community does all it can to
help it's own young men who have new
enterprises to start. 1t lays the foun-
dation for concerns that will become
prosperous and bring people to the
town.
A dozen active business men, who
have faith In the future OF their own
town, who will give some time each
week to working out plans and taking
advantage of opportunities that would
otherwise pass unnoticed, can work
wonders.

MANY THEORIES AS TO DIET
Wide Variety of Choice Afforded by
Opinions of Men Prominent in
Affairs.

Nowadays eating has become a
feritable science, and there are those
who assert that a man can alter his
very character il he will only indulge
in the right kind of diet. The other
day the private secretary of the man
arajah OF Jhalawar gave lecture on
food in London, in the course OF which
he stated that the eating of onions
is conductive to darkness of spirit.
He also averred that the caste system
III India is largely regulated by diet.
Thus, those of the highest caste only
eat vegetarian meals in order to keep
their souls pure. Members Of another
caste are allowed to eat meat so that
they may become fitted to be warriors,
while the lowest caste of all eat stale,
flat foods,' which suit their unspirit-
ual natures.
Two noted German professors gave
it as their opinion not long ago that if
people would eat plenty Of chalk they
would have not only more energy and
happiness, but considerably increased
brain power, says an exchange.
A doctor in Philadelphia recently
stated that no one who eats a pound
OF macaroni daily will ever become
drunkard, but he also stipulated that
the would-be teetotalers should live
entirely on vegetarian diet and
never touch meat in any circum-
stances.
In direct contradiction of the "vege-
tarianism for souIfulness" theory is
that of New York woman. She be-
lieves that there is nothing like fine
chops and glasses of beer to inspire
poets and writer's, and she opened
restaurant for the express purpose Of
providing those who would WOO the
muse with the proper kind OF diet.
She has no patience with people who
would become soulful On prunes
and lentils, and her INN for Bohem-
ians," as her establishment is called,
has certainly been well patronized by
budding Tennysons and future Mere
diths.
The belief is gaining ground in many
quarters that If you wish to stave off
old age and to have the feeling Of
perennial youth and gayety, no matter
what your actual years may be, you
cannot do better than eat plenty of
sugar. One of the pioneers of this
theory is Professor Metchninoff, who
has made exhaustive experiments to
prove his statements.
There are some who even assert
that not only does the frequent eating
of sugar keep one from growing old,
but that if man or woman will begin
the sugar treatment, even after
senility has set in, the effect will be
SO great as to amount to a complete
change in his or her character.

1t Paws to Advertise.

In New York a drygoods merchant
had the biggest lad" that was ever
played to win. He played four i'm
mense lights in front of his store in
such shape that they acted as X-rays.
The reflection showed the figures and
flesh of all the women who passed
between the lights in their diaphan-
Gus skirts which is the current fash
ion
As a result great crowds assembled
to see the show and il was more at
tractive than the most daring andress
of a comic opera chorus.
Some Of the women who had dress
ed to show themselves SO shameless
" pretended indignant virtue and had
the merchant brought into court.
Thereupon the wise Judge released
the merchant, with the remark that he
could burn his lights where he pleased
and il the women dressed so indecent
ly that they made an exhibition OF
their persons possible. 1t was their
own fault
So the lights burn merrily on. And
the crowds gather and the immodest
women of this most ludicrous age
pass through the lights and are in
spected and commented u6on. and
brazen men grow bold and talk dis
paragingly of womansind and-What
are we coming to anyhow?

NEWS IN THE ADVERTISING
Test of Effective Publicity-Reduction
in Cost Of Goods Of Supreme
Interest 10 Women.

The test of effective advertising
matter is found in the question: rs
il ncws?" In accordance with this
principle, the present is a time when
the advertising in these columns Is
particularly effective.
This is the time OF year when things
are happening in the retail stores. II
is one of the two critical periods OF
the years sales. No merchant can
forecast six months ahead the cur
rents OF trade. He must always buy
ahead of his wants. Some Of his
ventures will so astray, chiefly be-
cause he can not forecast popular
whims Consequently, If he Is to be
live enc through the fall trade, he
must clear his shelves and turn goods
into cash TO pay for more seasonable
goods.
The advertising columns OF the
newspaper tell the story of these do
ings. They report many bargains sold
at prices below their real value, to
meet these inevitable conditions OF
retail trade.
The reader who fails TO study the
advertising ard TO follow up the bar
gain news there reported, is much
like tie dealer in food SUITS who
should fail to read the produce news
in the daily papers.
Nc one can buy inteIligently with
out acquiring information in advance

sure Of the season most keenly, are
erserprising In keeping their stock
fresh, and viii make the greatest
sacrifices to clean out unreasonable
goods
Fortunately in these high cost q
living times few people fail TO realize
this. To the women particularly, the
