Out Of the words Of some modern

certain crimes, It bears different
names in different circles Of society.

Proven Business Competency.
The receipts for the exercise of
the ordinary functions Of the
Secretary of State for Roach's
full term (19O9-12) were $751;
522.13. This amounted to $780,
10000 more than during his pre-
decesSor's term Q905-08).
These increased receipts were
obtained at a diminished con-
tingment expense of $3,583.00,
and an increased total cost Of
S4,018.O0. Adding $130,400.00
to the state revenues at a cost
of $4,018.0O is evidence of a
good business officer.
Contrasting the biennial pc
riod of Roach's administration
with that of his predecessor
next prior, the record discloses
receipts of S555, 43O.66, which
were $157, 10000 more during
1909-10 than during 1907-08, OBJ
tanned at a diminished contin-
gent expense of $4,000, and a
diminished total expense of
S585.00. In other words, as a
business officer, Roach was
worth S158, 100000 more per
biennial period than his predec-
essor produced during the term
1905-08, and that this big in
crease was obtained at a re-
: duced total expenditure of ST.

his last two years were $780,.

Unofficial Reports CIam 5000
 Villa Troops Were Killed.

Washington, April 16.-Consul Sil- liman at Vera Cruz cabled the state department today a summary of the Carranzar reports of a victory by Gen eral Obregon over the Villa forces near Celaya. Rout of the Villa army and the capture of thirty pieces of ar tillery and many prisoners were claimed. n t'
 Department officials were waiting detailed reports from both sides be- fore accepting as definite the results claimed by either.
 Serious in Mexico City.
 Duval West, special representative of the state department, today tele- graphed Secretary Bryan that condi- tions in Mexico City were again be- coming serious, owing to the lack of foodstuffs and the interruption of communications.
 The department immediately noti- fled Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz to urge the Carranza autho critics to CO., operate in clearing the railroad to the Mexican capital for the shipment of supplies.
 Traffic Interrupted.
 Reports 0O' not indicate, SeCTeldIy Bryan stated, that the railroad is out of order but military activities have interrupted traffic to such an extent as to make the problem of securing food serious.
 Meagre advices to the Car ranza agency from Vera Cruz said that Obregon, in reporting a decisive victory over the Villa forces, claimed to have captured 2,5O0 prisoners and fourteen cannon. He added that he was in pursuit of the enemy.
 5000 Troops Killed.

Child Psychology.
 (Pittsburg POSt.)

Announcement of the results of the
 free psychological clinic for children conducted by the University of Pitts
 burg starts an inte resting train of
 thought. It has shown the mental
 defects of a number of children and where correction is possible has given advice on how it may be obtained. This branch of science has passed the stage where either ridicuie or resent ment of its judgments can avail against it, and the manner in which it is being conducted by the university, with every regard for the feelings of
 the children submitted to it and their parents, presents it in the most fav- crable light Its possibilities for good cannot be enumerated. In the single instance of a nervous child t can lay down rules that may not only change tho course of its life, but free il of lot of suffering.
 Nor should either the children or . their pal cnts let senc!}iveness stand in : the way of securing such aid. Some Of cur greet xsn;uses had to be sd- vised and guarded along lines now described as psychological. and tfe course not only of sone Of those in Gividuals, but of history, might have been different # more attention had been given tC their mental traits il:

 pity Carranza, Zapata, Villa and other
 Mexican revolutionists were not put through one in their childhood! Such
 suggestions are not to be laughed at The psychological clinic leads to
 roise of mind. It points to a remedy
 for mental eXplosivCness as we'll as to q stimulus for the stupid. Some of
 the children now being examined arc
 found extra bright in some things, but dull or unbalanced as to others or with weakness that might prove dan gerouS.
