Judge Carl Henderson, in his in
structions to the grand jury at the
opening of the Hopkins circuit court,
paid special attention to Migrants and
asked a thorough investigation of the
shiftless. He reviewed the serious
ness of conditions in this country at
present. There is work now for
everybody. If there are those in this
county, able-bodied men who are do
ing nothing but parading the streets,
if they have not patriotism enough to
enlist in the army and serve their
country, or go to work, they should
be indicted as Migrants. There is alb
solutely no excuse for men being
without work now. The draft law
is a good one and will get many of
these loafers," he declared. He also
instructed the jury with reference to
parties boarding up grain" and
asked the jury to investigate and if
parties were found with corn, wheat,
ETC.. on hand now, holding this and
fixing a price at which it should be
sold, to go after them.

Secretary Daniel says that while no
information will be made public as to
the nature of experiments which have
been in progress, he is satisfied that
American ingenuity eventually will
check the undersea boats. Lawrence
Addicks goes farther still and says:
''While il is evident that specific in
formation as to progress made would
be contrary to public policy at this
time, as chairman of the committee OF
the board dealing specifically with the
marine menace, ! feel justified in say
ing that good and satisfactory prog

now under practical trial some novel

Mining In Biblical Times.

The operations for mining as known
to the early Hebrews are given In the
twenty-eighth chapter of Job. The de-
scription is highly poetical. In Egypt
the mines for gold were worked by
groups Of convicts and captives In fet-
tiers. The harder rocks were broken
by fire, after which picks and chisels
were used. The miners were quite
naked, as are the negroes of today who
work In the diamond mines of South
Africa.

LESSEN DEFECTIVE CHIl DREN
Lessen Burden Of Dependency And De-
linquency U. S. Dept. Labor's
Report on Mental Detectives

Protect the defective children,
provide for their training and proper
care, and you will lessen the burden
Of dependency and delinquency.
This is the gist of the advice contain
ed in new report on Mental Defec-
tives issued by the Children's Bureau
OF the q. s. Department of Labor, and
appearing with special timeliness now
that war conditions may tend to
make more serious the problem of de-
linquent and dependent children.
The report is based on study Of
the social conditions of 212 mental de-
fectives in New Castle County, Della
ware. A total of 1175, or more than
four-fifths of these, were in need OF
public supervision or institutional
care because of bad home conditions,
physical helplessness, or pronounc-
ed anti-social tendencies. and only
IL of them were provided for in an
institution adapted TO their care
Twenty-six Of the defective children
were in industrial schools for de-
linquent children. and of these the re-
port says:
institutions for the care of de-
linquent children are greatly handi-
capped by the presence of detectives,
since they require special attention
and exert bad influence over the
normal children. After a short per-
iod Of residence these detectives are
returned to the community without
sufficient supervision.
Other defective children with delin-
auency records were at large in the
community; in all, SO of the PIP de-
fectives studied were delinquent or
immoral or difficult to control.
The report suggests that, while any
program for the care of mental defec-
tives must have as its central feature
suitable institutional provision offer
ing training or custodial care accord
ing to the needs Of the individual,
other activities are equally essential.
II is pointed out, for example, that in
stitutional care is not necessary for
all mentally defective children, for,
contrary to the popular impression, 1t
is found that there are certain types
who safely can remain at home pro-
vided they have the attention and
study which they deserve. However,
special provision should be made for
their safety, care, and education, and
out-patient work of an institution for
the predetermined, in cooperation
with schools, social agencies. and
families, is referred to as a new and
important method of providing in the
most humane possible way for such
Children.
The possibilities of industrial train
ing by which certain types of defec-
tives may gradually become in part
self-supporting and the Importance
OF providing facilities for mental ex-
animation and diagnosis of doubtful
cases are also brought out in the
report.

PRICE OF FLOUR HAS BEEN
CUT BY ST A BARREL
And Bread Prices Soon May Drop As
Result Farmers Said To Be
Hoarding Wheat


Householders may soon derive the
benefit from the policy of the Govern
ment in taking over the wheat supply
and fixing prices for this grain The
Gambrill Manufacturing Company, the
largest -four millers in this section,
has made reduction Of 81 a barrel
in -four to take effect Immediately 1t
is in the price of flour and of bread
in which the fixing of the wheat prices
will be of most benefit to the house
holders and consumers. This reduc-
ton should be followed by some les
SEEMING in the price of bread.
This reduction by the City Mills, as
the output of the Gambrill Company
is known in the trade, makes the deal
ers' price for the best blend of fam
lily -four $12 a barrel, while the price
of winter patents is S1135 a barrel
These prices compare with. SIT best
grades during the time when wheat
was soaring skyward and before the
Government took charge of the sit
uation. Therefore, the reduction is S.
barrel for the best blends and $3.50
for the winters.
Some grades of flour sold as high
as $40 barrel at retail during the
period of high wheat prices No one
anticipates that the Government will
consent to raise the price Of wheat
during the marketing and sale of the
present crop, while after July of next
year, when the new crop begins to
move, the price will be 81 on the basis
of No. l hard winter at Chicago, in
stead Of 1920. as at present.
