ROOSEVELT NOT 10
Be NAVAL WITNESS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10
Former President Theodore Roosevelt
today telegraphed Representative Hob
son that he did not believe it would
do any good for him to appear before
the Naval Affairs Committee, and
when the committee met today, Hob
son withdrew his demand that Colonel
Roosevelt should be summoned.
Colonel Roosevelt's telegram to
Hobson in reply to one suggesting his
appearance follows: s
Thanks for your telegram. do
not see that l can add other than
what I have written openly and I do
not believe l would serve any useful
purpose by appearing. 1t does not
seem to me that it would be we'll to
take any public action in the matter.
l would come if could do any good,
but l don't believe it would do any

cost Of RA|s|MG 4 BOY
TO THE AGE or EIGHTEEN
Takes About $4,000 To Rear Him
From Babyhood To
Manhood.

Academic statisticians frequently
apply their arithmetic to some
strange fields OF investigation. A
professor of Chicago University, for
example, has figured out the cost of
rearing a boy. The very cheapest
rearing, he says, costs the parents
$4,000 to bring the boy from baby
hood to the age of IS. Less than
this will not suffice, but as much
more may be spent as the parents
can afford. Presumably he refers
only to the necessary minimum cash
outlay, and makes no allowance for
the parental time. knowledge or ex-
perience. Some parents, of course,
gain knowledge and the experience
at the expense of the boy, and the
time of other parents is without val
ne. SO it is barely possible the pro-
fessor's calculations contemplate a
profit and loss balance between boy
and parents that eliminates these
items from his statistics. Even so, it
is not entirely clear how he arrives
at his final sum.
Nor is 1t at all clear that any
practical purpose has beep served by
his arithmetical exploits. If he
could show that $4,000 boy, grown
into manhood, is less valuable than

a WORD TO LITTLE BOYS
ABOUT OLO SANTA CLAUS
It's Not Good To Be Too Inquisi.
tive-Jimmy O'Grady's
Experience.

Now here is tale, from Burling-
ton. N. j., that every little boy who
reads the State Journal should take
as warning. II is not necessary to
point the moral. 1t is obvious.
A young man, James O'Grady, age
four years, didn't believe that a
house which was being built on lot
adjoining that his father occu-
pied was being builded right. The
chimney, he thought, was too mar
row. That on the O'Grady residence
was an old fashioned, big-throated
chimney. Santa Claus came down
the O'Grady chimney with regularity
and without mishap. but the narrow
brick chimney on the new house was,
in the opinion of Jimmy O'Grady,
far too small. He did not see how
the boys and girls in that house could
ever get anything from Santa Claus.
He was so worried about II that he
evaded the watchful eye of his moth
err and climbed up the scaffolding to
have look down the chimney. He
lost his balance, just as he had about
decided that he was right and the
architect was wrong, and down went
Jimmy O'Grady head first to the
very bottom where he lighted on his
crown and broke it.
As we go to press Jimmy O'Grady
is still alive, but he is unconscious
and is attended by trained nurse
who finds it impossible to keep the
tears from her eyes as she looks at
the bandaged head of the little man
who took so great an interest in the
welfare of the boys and girls who
We're to live next door that Ire would
not believe the carpenters who told
him that if the children deserved
presents Santa Claus would manage
to overcome the difficulties of a mar
row chimney by taking the toys down
one by one and leaving his pack on
the roof. Mr.. and Mrs. James
O'Grady. Sr.. weep more than the
trained nurse, and the doctors hold
out little encouragement.
II is a good part of year till
Christmas, but We hope that the lit
tie boys who read The State Journal
will remember the case of Jimmy
O'Grady, and not be unduly curious
about the methods of Santa Claus.
All the mystery about the old fell
low will be found out soon enough.
In the meantime what fellows par
ents tell him is all that he should
want to know. and it is very well to
pay no attention to what anyone else
says about Santa Claus.-l Frank
