Singing a lay of q don't know"
DR.. Harry Haiselden, investigator"
Of Lincoln, H., feeble-minded insti-
tute, had to let die out in a feeble
smoke what he meant as a forest
fire when he invaded, unlimited, a
meeting yesterday of the state board
of administration in conference with
Judge ScuIly and Peter Reinberg,
pres. Of the county board. To re-
peated questions as to his actual
knowledge of conditions at Lincoln
or any institute with which he might
compare it, the doctor admitted he
had nothing but the superficial OBJ
servation of one day when he went
through Lincoln under an assumed
name and listened to hear-say.
After the doctor had been disposed
of by the board, Judge SCully and
Mr.. Reinberg considered the PROPOSE
ton to turn the PsyChOpathiC insti-
tute and the laboratory in Chicago
into a state institution. It was agreed
that DR.. H. Douglas Singer, director
of the state phyChOpathic hospital at
Kankakee asylum, should assume
control of the Cook county institu-
ton as an experiment. Further dis
cussiOn on this will be heard at the
county board meeting Thursday,
where means Of affecting the change
will be adopted, if it is to be made at
all
DR.. Haiselden attacked the wage
scale at Lincoln and declared the
nurses were OverwOrked. He ad-
mitted he was not aware that the
girls only work eight hours a day
and that the wage scale has been ap-
proved by the civil service board and
the American Federation of Labor.

FORD GIVES EDDIE MACK A
CHANCE TO "COME THROUGH"
Henry Ford has stretched out his
hand to save Eddie Mack, self-con-
fessed pickpOcket and bank burglar,
from a further life of crime. A rep
resentative of Ford yesterday came
to Chicago and told Mack that Ford
knew the entire sOrdid history Of
MaCk's sins and was willing to give
him a chance to make good. Mack
can work for Ford safe from the fear
that the moment a copper" appears
at the gates his job is gone. Mack
has been drifting along as an exile
both from the law and the under
world since the confession Of the
Washington Park bank robbery sent
his pals" to Joliet prison and won
immunity for himself. Mack says he
made the confession because he did
not want to go to prison and leave
his wife and 4-yeaT-Old child depen-
dent on others.
The helping ahnd extended Eddie
Mack brings home to ChicagOans the
humanitarian philosophy of Henry
Ford. The Detroit millionaire has
approximately 900 ex-convicts work.
ing in the Detroit plant at a minimum
salary of SIS a day. When he first
announced his intention of giving
cOnvicts a chance to live and work
as other human beings his friends
tried to dissuade him. But Ford held
to his ideals and went right ahead.
He has found, he says, that the con-
victs have made good and he num-
bers them among the best wOTkmen
in his shops.
Chicago will watch with interest
FOrd's effort to regenerate Eddie
Mack. Every one here is familiar
with Mack's life of crime. All his life
he has been rObbing or serving time.

Latest news from the Mesa front as to the war between Japan and China is as follows: Japan took four shirts to China's laundry located on West Main street and said shirts. ac- cording to the story told before Po- lice Judge Mcdonald were never re- turned. Japan further stated that when the ticket for the garments was shown to China, that the Celestial Empire seized the document and tore therefrom a portion of the paper, and utterly failed and refused and still fails and refuses to deliver the shirts, but used such profane and threat ening language that a complaint was issued charging China with disturb ing the peace. On the other hand China insists that Japan came after the shirts; that the same were Topped up" in a package and hand ed to the customer who paid for them but that China left the ticket lying on the table and the same was ap- | propriated by the F1owery Kingdom

Now that the time of the year is approaching when we have violent thunderstorms in this valley, we would have something to say to those timorous of lightning hardly less violent than their dread of mice. The chances anywhere of being struck by lightning so remote that they generally dis regarded.
