WARTIME INSURANCE
RATES SAVE ONE-THIRD

Certain young men of the returned
soldier boys" said Miss Minnie Wells
Of the local Red Cross, "have not fully
understood the conditions set out BY
the government for the continuation
of war-risk insurance. Some young
men misunderstood the yearly increase
feature, and by their own figuring ar
irving at the conclusion that the rate
in this way would soon exceed the
rates of old line companies. This is
not the case; the government rates,
rightly understood, don't cost more
than two-thirds of that of corporate
company insurance.
"Those who have let their war-risk
insurance lapse can be reinstated any
time within 18 months from muster
out, and the fine for lapse is but two
months premiums.
"My time at the Fair was given
over to distributing Red Cross litera-
ture and the explaining to the soldier
boys of the ease with which they can
be reinstated under the new insurance
rulings"

MONEY AND INFLUENCE
DO THESE THINGS

Sidney Strauss, well-known Akron
man, whose high powered Stutz auto
mobile ran down and killed John
Troster, a former Medina county
man "a few months ago, walks the
streets free man after serving but
four months of a six months sentence
in the Summit county Jail. His SEN
tence was suspended in Judge Ahern's
court last Friday over the protest of
prosecuting attorney, who refused to
approve the journal entry Of suspen-
sion.
Although it is an established rule
that court costs in cases of suspended
sentence must be paid before the re-
lease of prisoners, up to noon Friday
the costs in Strauss case had not been
paid. Troster's widow, who was left
without support by the death of her
husband, was induced to settle her
civil case for damages against the
youthful motorist for $1,000. This,
with the $1,000 paid her by Strauss
on the courts order, is her total
reparation for the loss of her husband
and his support.
Strauss has served but four months
of the six months sentence, although
his penalty was modified by the court
to an exceedingly light one, as under
the law he was amendable to impris-
onment in the reformatory from one
to 20 years. Although the sentence
stipulated that during his imprison-
ment he was at no time to have the
status of "trusty" it is said that
Strauss has at no time suffered any
great restraint in Jail, having been
free to come and go, and having fire.
quently left the Jail to pay calls in
various parts Of the city.
Strauss offense was one of the
most fragrant ever brought to the at
tention of the Akron courts. While
speeding on E. Market street he ran
down his victim. Instead of stopping,
he fled at full speed, ran his machine
out to Turkeyfoot lake, removed the
license numbers and deserted it. When
police began to get warm on his trail,
Strauss gave himself up day or two
after the tragedy.

In current affairs the New Citizen

him she is only a woman. The

her son is still small boy will studi-

Ruskin says that the way to pre-
vent crime is to grow no criminals.
Certainly if we want good citizens
we must grow them, not by opposing
nature, but by conforming to it.
This war has not only brought a
glow of pride but sometimes a blush
of shame when we remembered how
we had felt, acted and talked about
some of those boys while they we're
cultivating the traits that made them
heroic. Now we know that the "war-
fare varied with armed
of boyhood is not pernicious, but in
stead is natures greatest training
school. This is no more wonderful
than the fact that a gorgeous flower
can be grown from soil and fertilizer.
We simply have not viewed them as
cause and effect.
After the great upheaval of ado
.lescence subsidies there is a renais-
sance of the best or worst, but the
chances are it will be the best if a
high ideal has been kept before the
boy.

China Tested by Time

THE net of a fishing smack off
Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Eng
land, brought to the top of the sea
recently a long dead memory. A
blue Delft saucer, deeply incrusted
with barnacles, lay among the flop
ping fish in the net, and it bore
picture of one of the old British
coasting and sailing vessels, with
the words ECLIPSE, Ldn. and ,Edin-
boro, Shipping Coy"
Now the Eclipse was lost at sea
LOG years ago. No one survived.
no bodies were thrown up, no
wreckage definitely identified with
the lost schooner YVES ever washed
against known shores.
Yet. over century later, a china
saucer is recovered! Its blue, ac-
cording'to reports, had taken on
wonderfully deep shade, tinged with
green, and was very beautiful.
The London and Edinburgh Ship
ping Company bought the relic for
about $50 of CIR mon@y and gave
that sum to t. 4tritish Red Cross.

BY JANE GRAY

r T WAS at the Ritz, and young
man who looked as though he
had la.ely been in uniform was
sitting in the grill room with two
pretty girls. They were very pretty
and very smartly dressed. Tea was
finished and all three were smoking
cigarettes. The girls were dainty
and graceful about it, though they
smoked like veterans. But as soon
as one cigarette was about half
smoked they would put it out on the
ashtray and light another.
"You girls" said the man, "make
me think of something that hap
pened ore night at Chateau Thierry.

But those cigarettes bring up that

funny, bowlegged K. of C. man was

For Safety a Boy Should
Always Be Heard

All women and all men, wise or
not, do we'll to remember that boy
should be heard whether he is seen
or not-usually the harm in what he
is doing is in inverse ratio to the
noise he is making. There is some
thing wrong with the quiet boy. In
stinct calls for action and action Gre
ates noise. Mrs. Jones, below, or
Auntie Smith, who thinks she has a
headache, are not thinking of his
good but of their own comfort and
convenience when they want him
suppressed. His actions are as truly
based on instinct as a duck's-it
never quietly and sedately followed
it's mother the hen when it saw a
pond of water.

The Child Chums With the U. S.
Army; Why Not With Father?

The crystallizing of this impulse
has marked our grown-up boys
wherever they have gone as soldiers.
The contrasts in this great war made
it easy for writer's and photog-
raphers to show what "our boys"
did for the children wherever they
went. Nobody gave it publicity, but
it was the same during the Spanish
American War. The little Cubans
would swarm around the United
States officers mess, and, in order to
make them feel that they were earn
ing the food they were sure to get,
each of@cer would call out to his spe-
cial charge, "Chaclz, bring me bis
cult" and the "muchacho," who
knew no English, would go to the
cook and repeat, "Chack, bring me
biscuit" or "Chack, bring me coffee" :"
and always returned with the desired
food, though he could not name it.
When the officers had finished, all
the little "chacks" "fell to" and con-
, sumed everything in sight. These
%lcers protected the boys, who be-
came their personal charges, and
many Of them were sent to be taken
care of to the United States.
But the everyday "tired business
man" American does seem to forget
that youth is a time of idealism, and
that the boy in his own apartment,
or the apartment above, or the one
he buys his papers from, is calling
