AUTO THIEVES
Dig Potatoes for Money to Buy
Gasoline

Meadow, S. D., Oct. AFTER Joy
riding about 100 miles in a stolen
automobile, and then digging pota-
toes for several days to obtain money
for gasoline to continue their journey,
Robert Fletcher and Ralph Harthouse
were taken into custody here to await
the arrival of officers from Minot, N.
d. Young Fletcher is a son of Olin Fl.
Fletcher, formerly sheriff of this
county.
That the boys had inbibed real
desperate notions was evident from
the fact that they made heroic efforts
to escape capture. They held Sheriff
Anderson and his deputy a merry
chase of 40 miles along the old Bis
marck trail. Then after they were
captured and brought TO Meadow, they
again escaped into the darkness while
the sheriff was at the telephone,
eluding the sheriff and three deputies
for AZ hours before being recaptured.
They went through Meadow with
their new car several days ago and
when they reached Chance, 10 miles
south of here. their fuel gave out.
Having no money to buy more gaso.
line, they dug potatoes for a couple
of days, invested in new supply
nd were preparing to leave town
wIen word came by wire to detain
them.
Learning of the OBTAINING order,
the boys shit the road fer liberty
in the car, but were finally overhauled.

Morality, Too,
Begins at Home

Atlanta Journal.
Charity Is not the only virtue that
begins at home. There is the we'll
spring OF morality also. It is an old
truism, but its reiteration is in order,
for 1t is all too apt to be forgot.
A speaker in the recent Interna-
tional Purity Congress at Mime
apolis brought it to mind again.
Clifford G. Roe, delegate named by
the secretary of state upon direction
OF the United States Congress, scor-
ed that parental neglect of daugh-
ters which lets them grow up like
weeds on the prairies.
Mr.. Roe committed, however, two
errors. He limited his excoriation to
those parents who possess means, and
he limited it also to neglect of daugh-
ters. He should have included all
parents, poor and wealthy alike; and
he should have included sons with
daughters.
The mother who negfects her home
for societies, theaters and card par
ties is to be censured; but the cen
sure must be shared by the mother
who neglects 1t for other interests
than those here enumerated, who
neglects it even for church or mis-
sionary work, or because she is in
different and slothful, or because
she is discouraged by poverty and
hard work and an improvident hus-
band. The degree lessons, but the
censure should be applied to all alike.
Similarly, the fathers who show
keener interest in their business
properties than they do in those in
finite greater assets of the home are
to be blamed, but they are not alone
In their wrongdoing. The fathers
who have no business properties, who
live from year to year on salaries, or
from week to week on small wages,
must be brought within the sad COM
pany.
Nor must all the care be expended
upon the daughters of a home. The
sons OF humanity constitute poten-
tial menace toward it's most carefully
nurtured daughters. Train sons as
we'll as daughters in their obligations
to society at large.
Parents and children or all degrees
and both sexes constitute the great
begin. Start it there, and the mis-
take made in after life will be but
an accident Formative measures
with morality are the best, the easiest
and the most natural. Apply them
in the home, and curative measures
will be less and less needful as the
generations succeed each other upon
earth.

A Threat or a Promise?

Exchange.
John, a rather backward rustic,
sat at one end of the sofa and his
sweetheart at the other. Both minds
were too full to carry on conversa-
tion, but at last the lady spoke:
"John, what are you thinking
about?"
John, awakened from his dreams,
answered with a drawl, "Oh, Jest the
same as you are," and was surprised
to get the retort:
"If you do I'll slap you"

PAPER SHARPLY CRITICISED.
Organ of Bavarian Oficialdom Has
Compulsory Subscription.
,ondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
BERLIN, May IA. 1913.
The Bayrische Staatszeitung. the organ
of Bavarian off1cialdom, which was re-
Gently founded on the very singular basis
OF what is practically compulsory sub
scription. is the subject Of severe criti-
cism. The newspaper assures itself a
considerable circulation by making sub
scription compulsory for every Official
connected with the administration of
state funds and for every society in re-
ceipt of even the smallest state subsidy.
The newspaper has also excited the pro-
tests of all other journals of Bavaria in
consequence of the rule that gives to its
columns the first right to print news
concerning any official question.
1t now appears that a large part of
the newspapers funds are to accrue
from compulsory advertisements. The
Staatszeitung is able to exact the nser-
ton of an advertisement for the an
nouncement Of each compulsory sale of
landed property. According to the Frank
furter Zetung, the cost of an advertise
ment-a minimum of $50 or $9.75-has
often turned out to be larger than the
sum claimed which led to the compul-
sorry sale Moreover, 1t is stated by spe-
cialists that the insertion is superfuous,
since the shorter announcement referring
the reader to the local authorities, which
formerly obtained. was fully sufficient.

SPAIN OPENS SCHOOLS
TO WOMAN STUDENTS
May Now Take Degrees Same as
Men in Universities and
Institutes.
oreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
MADRID. May 16. 1913
1t seems a curious anomaly that the
Spanish universities and government in
stitutes are open to women on the same
terms as men. although it was only with
in the last year that the Canalejas gov
eminent decreed that they might enter
for the same degrees. But the adverse
public opinion prevailing throughout the
country has proved a stronger bar to the
participation of women in higher educa-
ton than actual exclusion by the authori-
ties could have done. and only compare
lively few women care to run counter
to it.
In the sixteenth century. when Spain
was at the zenith of her greatness. wom-
en- not only took degrees. but even lee
tured from university chairs. This great
century was followed, however. by nearly
three centuries of gloom and women s
higher education was utterly neglected
1t was not until 1870 that "A fresh endeav-
or was made to restore educational privl-
leges to women when Fernando de Cas-
tro founded a normal school for women
in this city. But 1T renamed for an
American. woman some twenty years
after to give the real flip to women's
education by founding here the first in
stitute, or high school, for girls in Spain
under the name OF the International In
stitute. It's establishment seemed to be
the signal for an educational renaissance
in the country, for shortly after the two
great reforms were inaugurated educa-
ton. hitherto dominated from parish
school to university by clerical influence
became seculariZed. and the state as
sumed the responsibility for the public
school system.
The government has now also under
taken the training of teachers in excel
lent normal schools. and the salaries have
been increased in the hope of attracting
men and women of a higher caliber to
this profession.

Alarm to Guard Pictures.

Paris, March II. A neY electric
alarm signal which, it is said. will rem
der vastly more difficult the theft or
mutilation Of pictures and other art
treasures has been taken up by the
French commission on historic monu-
mentS.
Tests of the invention were made by
the commission at the Trocadero mu-
scum and are said TO leave no room to
doubt that ii will be impossible for the
cleverest thief to attempt to purloin Il
picture without giving an alarm.
The device was invented by an engi-
neer named pusselle An electric tube
is Insulated with coating Of baked
varnish and contains negative and pos
ltlve wires. Inside the tube are thin
copper sheets, placed Il slight distance
apart, which form levers for bringing
the two wires into contact when out
side pressure is applied, thus closing
the circuit.
If hole is bored in the metallic COW
ering with the object of cutting the
wires the tool comes into contact with
the copper conductor. which sets the
bells ringing. The alarm is given by
easing the compression of the copper
levers Oh the inside of the tube.

S1nn.ooo.Oon Income Tax.

Washington, March IA feature OF
the tariff revision program of the eX-
ira session of congress may include
the raising of $10O,00O.OOO from an in
come tax, including the corporation
tax, as part of the 5000. 900 basis
of revenue from the tariff. Repre-
sentative Hull of Tennessee, a Demo
cratic member of the committee on
ways and means, who has been active
in income tax problems. plans to in
trOduce a bill which would provide
such a source of revenue. This would
be considered by the committee in con-
nection with contemplated early ratifi-
cation of the constitutional amend
ment to sanction income tax iegisla-
ton. OF the necessary number OF
states required for ratification only
two are lacking. Mr.. Hull expects
these to be drawn from New Jersey,
Wyoming, New Mexico, West Virginia
or from Florida. whose legislature.
however, will not meet until April.
The Democratic majority of the COM
mittee favor an income tax, but in the
event of failure of ratification will re-
new the excise tax plan as an extern
sion of the present corporation tax law.
