Lecturer Draws a Telling
Picture OF the Ideal
Home.

In DR.. McCuaig the people of Fair

touch with one of the great spirits OF
the age-a genius of whom children's
children will talk. For an hour and
a half, last night, in the First NJ. E..
church, men and women laughed and
sobbed Z. simultaneously under his
magic spell, as he discussed home life
and itstrelations to crime.
The main argument of the lecture
was to establish the proper function
of the home in relation to the indt-
vldual and to society. Next to ths
instinct of self.preservation the most
universal instinct was shown to be
the family instinct. /. The family ideal
was defined as 'the strength OF all
for the help of the weakest" ,

A telling picture was drawn of an
ideal home-"a place of many chill

SAD STORY FAILS TO
MOVE POLICE JUSTICE

Mervin Melton. arraigned in Police
Court yesterday morning on charge
OF stealing twenty-four lunches. valued
at $3.50 from Nat Tiller. OF the Lex
sngton Hotel cafe. was sentenced to
thirty days In jail.
Though Melton pleaded that he
stole only because his wife was starv-
ing and declared that II he were let
off he would go TO City Point and gat
a job, his recent behavior worked
against him. He recently narrowly
escaped going to Jail when he Ia said
TO have been involved in a fiim- fam
game. and when he entered Tiller's
employ he gave an assumed name.
Justice Griggs listened patiently to
the sad story and then sentenced
