EXPERT STU1Y OF P2OGLEh

zaton's Fight on Social Evil.

Among the foremost men of the
country who have given serious and
critical consideration OF the social evil
with a view toward its humane and
scientific abatement is John d. Rookie
feiler, Jr., Of New York
Ever since he sat as foreman of the
grand jury in New York about two
years ago Mr.. Rockefeller has been
keenly interested in discovering a sen
sible plan for curtailng the white slave
! traffic. He was largely instrumental,
both financially and personally, in the
organization of the bureau of social
hygiene, started with the deep and
earnest purpose of thoroughly investi-
eating the present conditions OF the
social evil and OF eradicating them so
far as possible.
Mr. Rockefeller now makes public
the following interesting and import
ant statement as to the origin, work |
and plans Of the bureau:
THE bureau of social hygiene came
into existence about two years ago as
a result OF the work of the special
grand jury appointed to inyestiga tie
white slave traffic in New York city,
which served during the first half of
the year 1910. One of the recommcn-
dations made by it in the presentment
handed up at the termination of its
labors was that a public commission be
appointed TO study the social evil. The
foreman of that body subsequently S
gave careful consideration OF the char :
icter of the work which might proper a
y be done by such a commission and ?
he limitations under which it would :
operate.
so the conviction grew that in or
Ter to make a real and lasting i'm
Irovement in conditions a permanent
organization should be created, the
ontinuation Of which would not be
ependent upon a temporary wave OF
eform nor upon the life of any man
r group OF men, but which would 60
n, generation after generation, con
nuOusly making warfare against the
'rces Of evil.
"One of the first things undertaken
y the bureau was the establishment
Bedford Hills, adjacent to the re
OF a laboratory of social
ygiene under Miss Davis direction. In
lis laboratory it is proposed to study
ON the pnysical, mental, social and
oral side each person committed tc

nee that time Mr. Kneland. with
rps of assistants has been making

AT the same time the bureau was

0raham FleXner, whose reports on Dt
e medical schools in this country and
Europe ere so well known, to study

Based upon all Of these studies,

Arnold home. The policemen on the
beat, the watchmen and workmen in
the new office building that is going
up on the corner diagonally opposite,
the domestics in all the houses upon
that block, the clerks in the neigh
borhood stores, all are in the employ
of some newspaper or some detective
agency interested in the search.
Believe Girl Is Alive.
The Arnolds believe that their own
domestics are in the pay of outsiders.
and only one maid was permitted by
Mrs. Arnold to go above the second
floor. This prohibition is made, as sx-
planned. because 1t is feared private
correspondence will be rified. New York
newspapers have paid large sums In
the search, and it is said that one
newspaper alone has spent in round FIG
ures $4,000 in the quest for Dorothy
Arnold.
The general belief Of the little com
munity surrounding the Arnolds is that
the girl is alive and that at least one
person in the Arnold home knows her
whereabouts. This opinion is shared py
most of the detectives who have been
upon the case and by majority OF
the newspapermen who have been more
or less constantly in touch with IT.

TROTOL, NEW EXPLOSIVE

compared with the best dynamite.
But from it he developed trotol.
Trotol- can be exploded only by full
inmate of mercury, the substance
used to explode dynamite. 1t can
net be set off by any shock, however
great. In a test at Fort Wadsworth
trotol was packed into a twelve-inch
shell and the shell was fired at armor
plate 1000 yards away The shell
struck the armor plate while going at
rate of 2,750 feet a second, but
the trotol inside remained unexplod-
ed, in spite of the terrific concussion.
Six ounces of trotol, it is said, Will
do the work of twelve ounces OF
dynamite. Dynamite deteriorates in
water or on the water and under GER
tain atmospheric conditions. Trotol
can be soaked in water for years and
be as good as ever. 1t looks like wet
brown sugar, and is made up in
sticks like dynamite. Trotol can be
carried wet or dry, and the illuminate
of mercury, which must be kept
yards away from dynamite lest pre-
mature explosion results, may come
as close as six inches TO trotol without
danger. Like dynamite, trotol cannot
be exploded by ignition.-The Outlook

those of us who are physically nor
NAL and in a better condition.
The people who envy her pop
ularity, her sunny nature, do not re-
alize that their love of gossip and
their disposition to pick flaws with
others, to see their weakness, their
unfortunate or ugly side are really
exhibiting a very unlovely side OF
themselves, and that this is the rea-
son why they are so very unpopular.
Practise open mindedness, holding
charitable, magnanimous liberal
attitude of mind toward everybody
and everything, and you viii be sur
prised to see how it will enlarge ana
enrich your nature. There is moth
ing else that will make you 50 popu-
lar as this. Everybody loves the
openminded, large-hearted, magnani-
nous character, Just as he naturally
despises the small, narrow, stingy,
mean soul who sees everything
through his selfish glasses.
Selfshness is one of the most
despicable qualities of human nature
and is universally hated. The subtle,
mysterious something which we call
magnetism, and which we cannot de-
scribe, that something which every
body feels, is due more to the one
quality of unselfishness and large
generosity than to anything else. Fec
pie may admire you for your talert !
but they will not love you IL you a. .

yourself
So, if you would get on in the
higher sense, you must get rid Of
this great enemy of your advance.
You must take an unselfish, kindly
interest in others. Remember that
whatever you send out of your nature
will be reflected back to you.

The eedars of Lebanon.

From the Wide World Magazine.
All that now remains of the cedars
of Lebanon is a little forest of some
four hundred trees, which are rigidly
preserved. They lie on small fer
tile plateau, situated at an altitude
of GLIB feet above sea-level. The
grove is reached from Bsherreh by a
steep and winding road
With the exception of a few strag-
glers, the grove is inclosed by a neat
stone wall built by a former gov
ernor of Lebanon to protect the
smaller trees from goats.
The older trees have always occu-
pied a position of honor in the es-
timation of q man because of their
connection with the temple built by
Solomon and the various illusions
to them in the Bible.
Among the dwellers in Syria, where
forests Of tall trees do not exist, the
cedars naturally excite admiration.
and a modern Syria writer says of
them that they are undeniably the
most lofty of all the vegetable king
DOM We know, of course. that this
is hardly the case for the famous
redwood trees of California reach a
height of over three hundred feet,
while in Tasmania the blue gum is
almost as large so far as height is
concerned. The cedars are actually
about eighty feet high. which is mors
than the height of the trees of an
average forest.
