DERIVING WAR OF HEROES

Where are the heroes coming from
in the present war? Many brave deeds
are being done. but how is the world

secrecy are working In conjuction TO
rob war OF that glamour that once
fascinated and thrilled all people. II
may be safely predicted that the
worlds greatest war will produce
fewer popular heroes than did various
wars OF the past. where the combat
ants were a mere handful compared
with the enormous masses of men
now fighting desperately along the
borders OF France.
In modern warfare the individual
counts for nothing. The units are

Captain P. D. O'Brien of the South
Clark street station strengthened
Roberts assertions about college
boys in a visit to Chief Gleason this
morning.
O'Brien's men arrested B. B. Old
aker last night as dope fiend. Old
aker is young graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He made
the assertion that dope was used
greatly among college men in an eff
fort to stimulate their minds to bear
the brunt of examinations. That is
how he got into teh habit.
Oldaker also gave O'Brien the
names of % others who are engaged
in the dope traffic. After an extend
ed talk with Gleason, O'Brien an
nounced that the organized OOPS syn
dicates would be driven from Chicago
within year.
Policewomen Wilson and Walsh of
the East Chicago avenue station, at
the same time, made the most i'm

to wiring important confessions from
her involving North Clark street

LoRIMER BANK CLOSED


The LaSalle Street Trust and Saw
ings Bank, popularity known as the
William Lorimer Bank and one of the
largest state banks in Chicago, closed
its doors today and was placed in the
hands of the state auditor. Bank Ex-
aminer Harkin has been placed in
charge The institution has a paid
up capital of $1,O00,O0O.
Daniel D. Harkin, state bank ex-
aminer, who closed the Lorimer bank
under instructions from State Audi
tor Brady, at the same time closed
three smaller banks, correspondents
of the Lorimer bank. These were:
The Broadway State Bank, 4613
Broadway; the Ashland-Twelfth
State Bank, 1900 West Twelfth
street, and the Illinois State Bank of
Chicago, $50 North Clark street Har-
kin said he might permit these
smaller banks to reopen within few
days.
81 was directed to make an exam
ination of these banks and found con-
ditions such that thought it not safe
for them to open this morning." said
Harkin, who would not state other
reasons for his action.
William Lorimer, ex-senator, is
president of the LaSalle street bank.
The vice presidents are: C. B. Mum
day, |. L. BacchuS and ]. M. Logan.
None Of the officers could be found to
make a statement. though one was
expected later in the day.
The deposits of the LaSalle street
bank are said by Harkin to total $4,-
648,070. The deposits of the two
other banks are not known.
Within half an hour 1900 excited
depositors jammed LaSalle street in
front of the bank, clamoring for adj
mission. A man appeared at the

Secret of Cheerfulness.

How you admire that lady who
seems to be all brightness and cheer
fulness, and yet she is as busy as the
rest of us in household duties with
everything to do. Listen, and We'll
tell you the reason why she seems to
have more time than the rest of us:
has learned the true value of things.
She never frets and she never scolds.
1t doesn't pay. Fretting and scold-
ing leave ugly marks upon the face
and upon the character. Is every
thing wrong, the day upside down,
the fire won't burn, the children out
OF sorts, picked-up dinner, and COM
pany at the last moment? She does
the best she can and lets the conse-
quences take care of themselves
Worry will not help matters; and
then she has a secret a secret that
she is willing to tell all her friends.
Every day at certain hour she goes
to her room and, locking the door,
has half an hour absolutely to her
self. If she is very tired she wrings
towel out of water as hot as she
can bear and winds it about her neck,
renewing it till the weary muscles
relax and she can lie down and sleep
for few minutes, arise refreshed
and invigorated for the rest of the
day. Try it, weary mother. Be good
enough to yourself and those who de-
pend upon you to take time for rest
and refreshment.

A Good-Natured Man.

In an Omaha church Sam Jones
shouted; Is there a man present
who has never spoken a cross word
to his wife?" The silence was be-
coming oppressive; every husband
looked here and there; every husband
wanted to get up, but did not dare
to. But the sadness that had possess
sion of Jones face vanished mo-
ment later when a round-faced, good
natured man rose from his seat.
Thank Cod" exclaimed Sam, there
is one man who has never spoken a
cross word to his wife" The good
natured man smiled a bland smile
and said: No, sir, never did. I'm
a bachelor" Then he put on his hat
and calmly walked out of the door.

ADVERTISE FOR TOURISTS.

II has only been few weeks since
a meeting was held in Medford with
delegates from Klamath. Josephine
and Jackson counties 10 boost natural
attractions of southern Oregon, says
the Mail Tribune. AS meeting it
was a great success, Flowery speech
es were made telling of the great
scenio~wonders. But what good are
such meetings unless some concerted
action is taken afterwards?
II Crater Lake and other local
scenic attractions were located in
California more than one hundred
thousand people would visit them
every year. Some action should be
taken Immediately to advertise these
attractions, which will have its effect
next year as well as this.
The railroads have granted rates
OF one and one-third fare to Crater
Lake and return in Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. The
Southern Pacific is doing good ad-
vertising for southern Oregon. But
some supplemental advertising Of
scenic attractions is also needed, one
that will reach the general public.
The following plan is suggested as
the most effective as well as the
cheapest, to advertise in the Sunday
issues in the newspapers having the
largest circulation in Spokane, Ia
coma. Seattle, Portland. Sacramento,
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Special rates can be had for three
months advertising. Such advertis-
ing should begin by May 81 and con-
tinue 20 September /. Approximately
II would cost $3.50, or about s12O
per month. Many OF the business
men have already signified their will
lingness to help with a few dollars

season.

It's Use In Diagnosing Diseases of tho
Brain and Nerves.
Like the weird remedies and tests
of medicine in the middle ages are
some OF the latest means science has
devised to detect and classify forms
of insanity and brain affections. Salts
Of gold in solution. drops of spinal
fluid, bits of the tissue from the GOV.
ering Of normal PERSONS brain and
various other similar materials are the
means employed.
The gold test, for instance, is used
TO prove definitely the existence of
paresis. meningitis and several other
forms OF nervous diseases, though in
practice 1t is used mostly as cor
roborative proof rather than the only
proof. Solutions of salt of gold Of
carefully graduated strength are put
into test tubes. with the weakest So
lutions at one end Of the row grad
ing up to the strongest at the other
end
Fluid from the spinal column of the
person who is being examined is then
dropped into the tubes. The presence
of certain kinds of brain or nervous
trouble is then indicated by the col
ors produced In some of the tubes
The particular color produced and the
strength Of the solution that shows
the color strongest give the clew to the
kind of disease.
Another peculiar test for certain 9TH
er kinds Of brain trouble is to take a
drop of blood from the person exam
ined and place in 1t prepared solu-
ion from tiny particle of brain COW
ering of normal person. Epilepsy
causes an easily detected reaction on
the combined solution. while other
brain disturbances are detected by a
similar process, using other materials
in the same way.-Saturday Evening

Say, young man, there is one thing
you cannot do. You cannot make a
success in life unless you work. Bet
ter men than you have tried and
failed. You can't loaf around street
corners and saloons, smoke cigars,
tell foul stories, drink whiskey and
sponge on someone else, without
making a failure in life. You must
learn trade or get into some honest
business. If you don't you will be a
chronic loafer, despised by all, pro-
ducing nothing, simply making your
self burden on your parents or the
state. There is no place in the world
for loafers. The ripe fruit is all at
the top Of the tree. You must climb
to get it. Ii you wait for it to fall
at your feet you will never get it.
Smarter men will jump up and get
all Move. Do something, no matter
how small. 1t will be a starter Help
yourself and others will help you.
There is no royal road to success.
Toll, grit and endurance, there are
requisites. Wake up and see what
you can do.

PROSPERITY IS CONIMUNISTIC.

A man cannot prosper in any hon
est business without benefiting the
community as we'll as himself, for he
cannot induce men to deal with him
without offering them an advantage;
and, taking all the transactions of
life together, the advantages which
men offer to others must, on the
whole, be equal to those which they
receive themselves. Doing business,
therefore, is a very effectual and eX-
tended mode of doing good, and the
fortune which is acquired in doing it
is, in a very important sense, the
measure and index of the good done.

EUROPEAN POLICEMEN.
Glover In London, "Sloppy" In Paris
and Polite In Berlin.

Glover In London, "Sloppy" In Paris
and Polite In Berlin.
In humor, in urbanity. as in perfect
control of his district, the London 20.
liceman is the nearest approach to per-
fection. writes Percival Pollard, who
In "Vagabond Journeys" has a word
to say of the various policemen of the
world. He adds that in looks only our
American policemen equal those of
London
TO the stranger the policeman seems
the politest of all Londoners. Chiefly,
however, it is in his control of traffic,
awheel and afoot. that he is unrivaled
When you consider the narrowness of
the streets you constantly marvel at
the easy skill with which he solves
his problem.
The Paris policeman never looks any
thing but sloppy" and his notion of
controlling traffic at crowded street
crossings is enough to make the OBJ
server shout with laughter No one
minds him. and his attempts to regu-
late the speed of the Partisan cabby
only result in a slanging match. OBJ
servation of Partisan street traffic is
all that is really necessary to impress
you with the belief that in case Of
need the Paris policeman would al
ways. with much noise and melo-
drama, arrest the wrong person.
The police of Berlin are vastly bet
ter than those of Paris. They do not
look as well, according to our notions,
as the English ''constables." but they
are fairly smart. The men are polite,
control traffic inexorably and see to it
that Berlin is one Of the cleanest and
most orderly of cities. But as rea-
soninS individuals the Berlin police
men are hardly to be counted at all.
When anything happens to you more
serious than crossing congested
street or losing your way you are fair
ly certain of running hard against a
city ordinance, mechanically enforced
by the man on the beat
No argument or persuasion prevails.
There Is the regulation. and here the
instrument to enforce it. The human
element is entirely absent. Both Italy
and France are as to their police more
human.
