FELT THEY HAD BEEN ROBBED
rcrooked" Conduct of Boss Came as
Shock to Even His Hard
ened Heelers.

These tales of bagmen that District
Attorney Whitman Of New York is
bringing out recalled to veteran poll
tician the experience Of the boss OF a
western city, who was something IN
the way of political collector him.
self.
One day near the close of hot cam
paign he managed to round up some
five thousand dollars. With couple OF
his pals he had a bibulous celebration.
About 2 in the morning he was cling
ing to a lamppost and trying to call a
cab when two Of his heelers hove III
sight. He knew they would rob him
If they suspected he had money. Brac-
ing himself he greeted them with:
Hello, fellows; lucky you happened
along. I'm dead broke and want CAP.
Get one and take me to my hotel and
I'll make good"
When they reached the hotel the
drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk
to give each Of his companions i've
dollar bill. At the same time he drew
from his trousers pocket huge roll
of bills and throwing it at the clerk
told him to keep that wad of stuff In
"a safe place until morning"
Disgustedly the heelers watched the
i-afe door close on the young fortune
that had escaped them, while the boss
sank into chair.
ooh, you thief" angrily shouted one
iof the heelers, as he shook his list
under the nose of the boss. That's
the meanest double cross you ever
gave friend in your whole crooked
career. You said you was broke and
YOU had thousands in the wad. Con-
found you, there's no one a fellow
can trust these days. That money be-
longs to US by rights and you've rob-
he'd us of it."

A summons, by which it was sought
to disqualify Alderman Henry O'Shea,
the lord mayor of Cork, from sitting
as a member Of the city county, on
the ground that he is an alien, has
been dismissed by the Cork magis'
trates. Maurice Healy, M. P, who
prosecuted, said Mr.. O'Shea himself
had admitted that he was an Ameri'

IS HELPS
WORK OF CIVIC SECRETARY
New Town Official Has Become an I'M
portant Factor in Amerl-
can Life.

There Is a new official in American
city life-the civic secretary. He rep
resents the link between education
and life in the big cities. For num-
Der of years American educators nave
been striving to bridge the chasm that
seemed to exist between educational
influences and the every day lives OF
the people. BY means of evening
schools, libraries, extension lectures
and more recently civic, social ana
recreational centers much has been
done. 1t has remained to combine
these connecting educational forces
under one active officer, and this has
been accomplished by the new position
of civic secretary.
The civic secretary at Duluth, Mimi,
Is appointed by the board OF public
welfare of that city. He has charge OF
all the local social center work. Plans
to secure the same sort of otfleer are
reported to be under way In several
other cities of the middle west. The
official may not always be called the
civic secretary" but his functions are
generally the same. He organizes edu-
cational extension work; gives intelll
gent and sympathetic aid to play and
recreation; stimulates discussion OF
public problems; in short, he consoli-
dates and directs the civic agencies OF
the community for the benefit of all
the citizens.
In Superior, Wis, "city exposition
Is planned by the civic secretary, who
Is here called director Of the civic
center department" In this city ex-
position not only local industries but
the educational and municipal institu-
tons will have an opportunity to ex
hibit their methods and results. The
exposition idea Is only single item
in large program mapped out by the
director. There will be various social
and recreational activities, lecture
courses, civic and ward improvement
clubs, and a clipping bureau will be
established to collect information on
social. civic and municipal matters.

Almost Invisible Microbes.

The smallest things are the microbes
that are found in the earth, the air,
water and our bodies. So tiny are
some rod-like microbes that it -would
take 100000, placed end to end. to
reach a yard, while 100,O00,000 would
only cover nickel, and it would take
$4,000, 900, 100000 to make a solid
cubic inch. Microbes If nourished will
multiply more than millionfold an
hour. A single grain Of earth will con-
tain from 1000 to 100000 microbes.
Without them we would have neither
health nor disease.

Basic Idea of City Planning.

The basic topic Of city planning Is
the clear recognition Of the fact that
no one can accept responsibility for
any smallest element in the complex
unit that we call city without par
ticipating also in the joint, undivided
and complete responsibility for the fu.
ture excellence or inferiority OF the
city as a whole, says Frederick Law
Olmsted, in the American City.
This joint responsibility is one which
cannot be shifted, even though our
knowledge and powers be inadequate
to the task of meeting it completely.
