JUDGE OLSON SCORES PRESENT
POLICE DEPT SYSTEM

The custom of the police depart
ment in arTesting little offenders in
wholesale fashion while they let the
big ones get away is given a terrific
scoring by Chief Justice Harry Olson.
Lately the municipal court calen-
dars have been loaded to gunWales
with cases that amount. to nothing.
1t is a matter of record that 81 per
cent of the cases brought in by the
police are discharged. A big percent
age are youths in teens who have
done nothing worse than play boy
ish prank or girls picked up on mere
suspicion and discharged with stigma
of arrest attached to their name.
1--WE will simply have to shut down
on the police in the number of I'M
warranted arrests" said Judge Olson.
"a police officer will ask his men
why there are not more arrests. The
men will get the arrests, well enough.

Is that the right spirit?
Activity of police against petty Of
tenders has greatly increased. We
have had close to 100000 ordinance
arrests this year, as against 10000
few years ago.
We've got the police chasing petty
violators when they ought to be
catching thieves and burglars. It
takes more brains to catch a thief
than to arrest woman because her
hatpin is sticking out too far.

slab, famed couple of collegians

several of them to pop up to the in

Dell was the last occupant of the
box and finished the game for the

ANCIENT HIGH FINANCE.
When White Deerskins Passed as Cur

When White Deerskins Passed as Cur
 rency In China.
 In China. the first country to use banknotes. certain skins were once of such great value that they were ac- cepted as cash. passing from hand to hand in the same way as banknotes of the present day. The negotiability of these skins was established in this way:
 The Emperor Gu ri, being in want of money. gave his treasurer to under stand that such state of affairs must not continue. At that time it was cus- tomary for princes and courtiers on en- tering the royal presence to cover their faces with pieces of skin. Taking ad vantage of this custom. the treasurer procured the issuance of decree for bidding the use of any other skins for this purpose save those of q certain spe- cies of white deer in the royal parks. Immediately, of course. there arose q demand for pieces of these skins, which, being a monopoly. were sold at high price.
 Thus were the royal coffers refil|ed. The steady value of the skins thus ob- tained made them readily substitute for coin of the realm.

FLOGGED THE FAT MEN.
Spartan Cure For Those Who Grew Too Stout For Military Duty.

% stout TOT MiIItary Duty.
 Among the ancient Spartans every thing was considered secondary to mili tary efficiency. and with view to se curing this the boys and men were by law kept in q continual state of train ing" No deformed child was allowed to live. Boys were taken from their homes and subjected to military regu- lations at the age of seven. They were compelled to wear the same single gar ment winter and summer. At twenty they joined the ranks and from that age till they reached sixty were re- quired to dine at the public tables, where only a certain quantity was sup piled for each man. The magistrates interfered in absurdly small matters. They regulated the degree of fatness to which it was lawful for any citizen to extend his body.
 Those who dared to grow too fat or too soft for military service and exer- else were sometimes soundly hoSged. Aelian in his history relates that Nauclis. son of Polytus. was brought before the ephors magistrates and the whole assembly of Sparta. and his unlawful fatnesS" was publicly exposed and he was threatened with perpetual punishment if he did not bring his body within the regular Spartan com pass and give up the culpabIe mode of living. which was declared to be more worthy of an Ionian than Spartan.

Stones and Glass Houses.

The origin of the saying 'Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones" is as follows: At the time of the union of England and Scotland London was inundated with Scotch men, and the London rougbs used to go about at night breaking thelr win dows. Buckingham being considered the chief instigator of the mischief, d party of Scotchmen smashed the win dows of the dukes mansion. known as the Glass House. The court favUrite appealed to the king. who replied. "Steenie. Steenie. those who live in glass houses should be careful how they fling stones:"
