Editor FL PasO Herald:
One reads much these days about

asked to place the blame-tO accuse

No. we cannot do this. because it IS
not the individuals who are lax, but
IL IS the imperfeCuOn Of our social
life as a whole. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Herald recently, when she blames our
educational methods.

CAUSE OF DIVORCE.

Altura, Tex.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
We read the same statements Of fact
but arrive at different conclusions. In
your recent editorial about the Court
of domestic relations" you think these
courts ought to be initiated. That is
cOmmendable, but I feel there are al
ready enough Investigation under way,
and action upon the facts brought to
light is what we want The chief value
Of a court Of domestic relations is TO
bring TO light the causes Of our do
nestle infelicity, and the powers that
be (Which is the political party IN
power can remove those causes wher-
ever such removal is possible.
Tt is a significant fact that the chief
cause Of our domestic infelicity is the
liquor traffic, an Institution that could
be abolished at once by the powers
that be" without their asking the
dear peepuT a thing about it.
Think of it, 40 percent Of the
broken homes in Chicago due to the
liquor trlffic. If that percent held
good for the whole nation, we would
probably have a little less than $4,000
homes broken by It; but, TO be con-
servative, we viii say that only $4,000
homes are blasted annually by the
LIQUOR traffic
Twenty-Five thousand homes; a city
Of 100000. We can forget for the time
being that Capt Hobson in a speech
before congress claimed on scientific
authority that 700 900 people in this
country die annually from the effects
perance reformers estimate the alco-
hOlic-killed at 100000; we can forget
the estimate compiled from insurance
statistics that 5000 deaths are caused
by the liquor traffic; we can forget the

Editor FL PasO Herald;
In The Herald of December q, 1912,
I read in the editorial page about the
need of a locomotive arrester, and the
reward offered by the New Haven rail-
road system, to the man that would
invent some automatic device for the
arresting of a locomotive after 1t has
passed the danger signals
Ever since then I have been working
on a device Of this nature, and now I
have about the most perfect plans and
acceptable continuance that has so FAR
been known OF
This being Of interest not only to the
railroads Of the country, but to the
safety of the world at large, I think
it ought TO be investigated and pro-
NOTED by those who are most directly
interested in such matters.
And as I know the progressive and
altruistic views Of your paper, 1 am
writing this, that you may make same
known to the people
I am a poor man and have no way Of
patenting and promoting my invention

close mechanical substitute for a hu-
man watchman The device is ar
ranged to operate before the slightest
injury has been inflicted upon safe
by a burglar. In fact, it has no ma
terial contact with its surroundings,
for it includes the mechanical equiv
alent of an eye which will detect the
faint light from dark lantern OF
even a match, hence making it a good
FIRE alarm as well as a burglar alarm.
The mechanical eye" is a selenium
cell such as used in picture telegraph
ing apparatus, for the reason that the
electrical conductivity of selenium
varies approximately with the amount
of ligh that falls on it, The mechan-
ical eye consists of a cylindrical box
four inches in diameter and amout an

For in so doing thou shalt heap Goals

The convert thereupon began to
