ERUPTION DlsFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter. age
five years, had breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only it differed In
that it was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching it.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out watery substance She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at

HORSE 0UTRUNS A KANGAROO
Men Attack the Big Animals With
Only Clubs For Weapons, and
Kill Them.

Notwithstanding the kangaroo's
popular reputation for speed, he is
easily overtaken in the bush by a good
horse within half mile. A capable
kangaroo dog-a lean, swift beast, a
cross between greyhound and a
mastiff, bred to course and kill-soon
runs him to bay. Without dogs it is
the custom to kill with cudgel This
is often accomplished by the sports
man from the back of his horse Dis
mounted, however, with the kangaroo
waiting alertly for attack, it is some
times a perilous venture to come to
close quarters. A slip-and the sports
man finds himself all at once in des-
perate situation. A lumberjack
showed scars of an encounter. He
had ridden the kangaroo down and,
being in haste to make an end of the
sport, he had caught up the first likely
stick his eye could discover, and ne
had stepped quickly and confidently
in, and he had struck hard and accu-
rately. And the next instant, caught

leased by the police for lack of evi.
dence.
Although it is literally true that
there are in New York today dozens Of
gangs and thousands of gangsters, the
great majority are without real stand
ing in the underworld. At a conserva-
tive estimate there are, however, from
twenty to twenty-five recognized
gangs, with membership in excess of
5000 men, from which politicians and
gamblers and others requiring their
services can get thugs, repeaters and
strong-arm men for any purpose, from
carrying an election or breaking a
strike to securing the commission of
of citizens.
Settle Their Own Disputes.
Gangdom recognizes this state OF
outlawry and it always settles it's OWE
disputes. The recognized forces OF
law and order-the police-are never
called upon to listen to its complaints.
If gangster falls in any feud, if he
has been shot or stabbed, he never
gives the name of his assailant. "He
will attend to that when he gets out. y
If he dies he knows that his friends
will avenge him, and often in New
York hospitals when the police have
vainly tried to get wounded gang

Leaders Who Play Safe.
There are several gangs in New
York with membership of more than
a thousand, but more and more the
men at the head of them keep their
hands free of actual crime The lead
er is the man with brains and money,
and above all with the confidence of
the politician, who has enough infiu-
ence to smooth out the serious trou-
bles- into which his followers may fall.
In case of murder or killing it is
the general rule for the actual muir

the arrest is brought about Of some

Field for Boy Scouts.
Only one organization really seems
to be properly equipped for attracting
to itself the boys who but for its exist
ence would grow up to be gangsters,
and that is the Boy Scouts. 1t is just
the kind of thing that appeals to high
spirited boys and it is doing most
wonderful work in making them into
manly youths who will grow up to be
good and useful citizens. There is a
striking sameness about the gangster's
unwritten code and the laws of the
scouts.
Thou shalt not squeal," is the first
law of the gangster. The gangster's
honor is to be trusted in gangdom. The
first law of the Boy Scouts is "A
scouts honor is to be trusted" If he
breaks his honor by telling lie he
ceases to be a scout. If the gangster
squeals the penalty is death.
Next to not squealing, the law of the
gang is that its members shall be
''hunky" scouts second law is 10y
atty to his country and his friends.
HE must stick to them through thick
and thin against anyone who is their
enemy" And so on A scout must be
brave and daring and must obey or
ders without question and he must
never sulk. All of which things are
expected of the gangster.

by the appearance of three or four
smaller and rival organizations. 1t is
only scattering the trouble.
Catching the Gangster Young.
There is only one way to put down
gangs in q city like New York, and
that is to cut off their supply of re-
cruits. The gangster has to be caught
young. There is no gang in New York
today which willingly adds grown men
to its ranks. The new recruits all
come up from the streets | have
talked with number of gangsters, and
there is such surprising unanimity
about their boyhood days that it is not
impossible to picture the upgrowth
of the gorilla
Watch almost any gang of small
boys playing in the streets of the ten
ement districts. They always have a
leader. 1t matters not what they are
| doing or to what mischief they are
up, there is always one who is drawer
stronger more resourceful than the
rest He will grow into man of ac-
ton. He will make a success of life
if his home influences and early oppor-
tunities give him fair chance; but
if he goes wrong he is the material of
which the gangster is made. 1t is SO
easy for him to go wrong
AS he gets older he may commit
some little breach OF the law that
other boys will take pride in as a
proof of his daring. The corner sa-
loonkeeper patronizes him and mar
shals him with others of his kind. He
gets his introduction into the under
world and meets real gangsters upon
whom the women of the streets fawn
and who nod knowingly to the cop
on the corner. If he stumbles into a
scrape the saloonkeeper or one of his
newly acquired friends will appeal to
some ward politician for bail, lawyers
and The necessary pull" to get him
out OK trouble. Then he sticks to his
friends, and gangdom has won another
recruit.

NEW YORK.-RivaI gangsters fought
IN revolver battle from automobiles
on primary day, September 16, in
broad sunlight, at the corner of Sixty
fifth street and Broadway, just as the
matinee crowds were pouring out of
the theaters The police managed to
get four of the combatants, and the
car which they had used in the shoot
ing affray was found to contain lists
of voters in six election districts, sys-
tematically arranged to enable repeat
ing.
1t was the gang in the service of the
politician, just as in the Rosenthal
murder the gang had been in the serv-
ice of a high police official. The
gang serves those who pay it or can
protect it against the law. For SIS
it will detail a kid to black a mans
eyes; for $50 you can have man
stabbed, and doing the big job will
cost you more than $500 or $1,000 if
you are properly vouched for to the
gang leader by some one with a big
pull"
The man with the big pull" is al
ways a politician or gambler, writes
Henry N Hall in the Sunday New
York World The politicians alliance
with the gangster is as close today,
If not as open, as when district
leader on the eve of an important cleo
ton gave an interview to newspaper
men with one foot on box from which
his lieutenants were distributing 500
lead-leaded blackjacks to ''the boys"
for use the next day, or when a politi-
cal leader-now one Of New York's
most distinguished representatives in
the congress of the United States
went over to New Jersey to testify un-
der oath that Monk" Eastman was a
reputable business man and an other
wise desirable citizen.
Difficult Problem.
There is no more difficult problem
in American civic life today than the
elimination of the gang. There are
three reasons for this. The first is
that the American public is Indifferent
10 crime. There is no place in the
world where the man in the street who
goes about his own business and keeps
clear of the underworld is as safe in
his person as he is here, and the
result is that unless he himself, or
some one he knows personally, is the
victim of crime, he reads about these
things in the paper with an interested
complacency not unlike the feelings he
derives from thrilling moving picture
show. Gangs, gangsters, Black Hand
crimes and bomb outrages are accept
ed as among the things incidental to
life in big city, and it is impossible
to arouse anything like public indig-
nation over their presence.
The second reason is that the inter-
ests to which the gangs are useful
the politicians, the gamblers and those
who grow rich in the underworld-are
so powerful that they are able to pro-
tect those who are of service to them
1t is only in exceptional cases, when
public feeling is outraged by some
