arrests for January, 1915. Fines. how
ever, increased and totalled $500 for
the month, largely because Of the &C
tivity of the police raiding squad and
the heavy fines assessed to second
offenders. Sioux City's proximity O
Nebraska and South Dakota wet
towns is believed by the police OF
that city to be responsible for much
of the drunkenness there.
Dubuque showed the least effect OF
the prohibition enactment of any of
the seven cities. Total arrests there
were 81 in January against sc for the

FINDS LACK IN MODERN CHILD
"Too Often Merely the By-Product ot
 Marriage" Says Writer

The North American child is too often merely the by-product of mar riage. It serves as an outlet for tha. pride which it's parents cannot all ways reasonably take in themselves It is pctted. cajoled. pampered. over dressed and under disciplined till there is evolved a strange pygmy for whom the world soon grows banal who is destitute of the petitionary appeal of childhood nd who surveys an already anticipated and thor oughly analyzed future with the cold eyes of unnatural knowledge.
 The world is it's football. It is smart beyond description But there is in the forced garden of it's life no sheltered bed where may bloom the flowers of graciousness or peace. Of such will be the new aristocracy. and it's traditions will be of grandfathers who. by virtue of that fine native American long headedhess, delivered the goods of their period and were promptly and suitably rewarded.
 But there will be few traditions of courtliness, scant reminders that nos blesse oblige and but scattered memories of inherited responsibilities The sempiternal dollar will still domi- nate. One generation was too busy collecting and the other will be too busy spending. The second genera lion offers no promise, and the third but little. The fourth will probably open new and finer cycle.

ATHENS, Greece. Sept: z.--.. epidemic of infanfiie paralysls l.l New York is rivalled by an epidemic of smallpox in Athens that is taking a heavy toll of both children and adults in the city proper and in Piraeus, the Port of Athens Incident ally Greek ships arriving from Alex andria report the spread of the bu- bonic plague in Egypt, and cholera has broken out In the Island Of Cas- teloriza, due to the arrival of ref ugces from Asia Minor. A guar antine has been established between the island and the ports of Greece.
 The epidemic of smallpox in Athens has resulted in compulsory vaccina- ton or vaccination but it is diff ficult to carry out the orders as the supply of vaccine is limited, and the movement of the demobilized troops into the interior makes it difficult to combat the spread of the disease.
 The remarkable feature of the epi- demic is the reliance that is being placed upon the efficacy of one Of the sacred ikons or images of Christ The ikon of St Barbara of Nicomedla, in Asia Minor has been brought with every pomp and circumstance from the ancient church of the convent ol Daphni, near Athens, and set up in the church of Chryssospiliotissa, in the quarter where the smallpox is taking it's heaviest toll
 All morning. during the transport : alton of the holy ikon the bells of every church in Athens and the Piraeus toiled at regular intervals.

 Still further evidence of the be- lief Tn the power of ikons $ seen in tho preparations for the annual pill grmage to the shrine of the virgin of Tinor, which will be made on among the ordinary Greeks that the virgin saved the life of King Com stantine l.. last yecr when he hover ed between life ard death after an operation at the hands of two famous German surgeons At a time when hope had practically been given up 1t was decided to bring the sacred ikon of the virgin of Tinos to the, bedside of the sovereign. All along the entire route peasants gathered and knelt at the roadside as the sacred image passed and a minister in the ante chamber of the royal palace marked on a special map the progress of the procession, while out side the palace thousands of humble Greeks gathered many weeping with hysterical emotion.
 Finally the image arrived and was set up in Ihe bedroom of the mon arch. According to the Greek peas ant. from that moment the King $ life was saved.
