Richmond, Va.-"Harry Thaw is
sane and will cInch his liberty if he
will follow my advice"
This was the statement of John
Armstrong Chaloner, himself a fUgi-
tive from justice from a New York
asylum and author of the famous
epigTam: who's Looney Now"
81 am no friend of Thaw's," he
said. 81 don't even know him;
never wrote him a letter And Pm

But am law writer and 1 am vital
Iy interested, more so than in any
thing except my elevation in the next
world, in publication of the AUgean
stables of lUnaCy law. Every state
in the union has illegal Iunacy laws.
$50 help me God, 1 never wrote a
letter to Thaw asking him to come
and visit me at Cebham, Va. That is
a rank canard. But I am in sym
pathy with his efforts to secure per-
manent liberty.
eff he was a party to his escape
he should have had a tUg-boat meet
him at the Pennsylvania coast over
the New York border, across the line.
That tug-boat could have carried
him to some point on the Pehnsyl-
vania coast and then he should have
have a jury or a commission give him
the first fair trial that he has had
on his sanity in years and years.
my book, -Four Years Behind the
Bars has been before the public so
long that there is no reason for Thaw
and his lawyers being in ignorance
of this plan of escape. It is about
time, so help me God, that Thaw's
lawyers wake up to the fact that l
have written the strongest book on
Iunacy procedure known as The
Lunacy Law of the World"

laughter He has made a philosophical
study Of this subject and is prepared TO
tell the western world why men laugh
and how they should laugh, and what
laughter does to the human system. and
the part it plays in the psychology of the
race This is important subject.
a serious factor in life. II is, indeed,
serious subject. although IL is quite the
reverse of serious in its essence. Laugh
ter is q vital element in keeping men
thoroughly alive. OF course, the pulses
beat and the bodily functions continue i'm
they are only half alive. They have never
experienced the full joy of existence, and
IL would be one of the greatest blessings
IL this Frenchman would tell our uni
versities. and through them teach the
people of this country universally how
To laugh. This does not mean simply to
teach those to laugh who have never
laughed before, but to teach those who
laugh already how to laugh properly
For there is a wide difference between
mere ''hawhawing'' and real laughter
The laugh that comes too quickly
