WHY
Statistics Are Unsafe Guide
to Conclusions

Statistics, though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example. 1t is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
number of prison commitments among
the foreign-born population Of the
United States, but 1t would be most
unsafe to base any congratulations
upon them, for the number of commit
ments to prison is no indication Of
the number Of crimes committed, and
there are many more criminals at large
than behind the bars.
Those in prison were not clever
enough to escape. They got caught.
Those at large were able to commit
their crimes and elude detection.
British statistics show that in only
10 per cent Of the indictable Offenses
that are committed is the perpetrator
convicted.
The figures for America are probably
not very different. Therefore IS per
cent of the criminals are at large. 1t
is fair to assume that this 50 per
cent is more intelligent than the Is
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the 10 per cent for which the Stats
tics are given Is highly selected
group, and any conclusions based upon
such statistics are Enthusiastically, as
applied to criminals in general, how
ever valuable they may be as to the
comparatively small number that are
In Jail.

CALL INSANITY FIXED ERROR
How Physicians Determine Absence Of
Normal Mentality Revealed as
Simple Matter.

The sole difference between sane
and an insane man is that the former
retains the power Of adapting himself
to his circumstances, while the latter
has lost it.
This is the definition Of an English
authority who says that as long as
man Is able to alter his actions to
suit any change in himself or his en-
virOnment, so long is he mentally nor
NAL. A man can effect such altera-
ton either by changing his circum-
stances, or by changing his own
actions.
The mailman fails to- make the
proper adjustments and he does not
recognize such failure as an error, but
persists in II. Thus, insanity might
be defined as permanent error.
Here lies the boundary between
mistake and madness:
If mans circumstances change In
such a manner as to affect his well
fare, this writer goes on to explain,
he will, as long as he is sane, alter his
dNtIOH 81 as " uuuPt W NhS
change.
If the weather becomes cold, he Will
light fire, or put on more clothing, or
both; and vice versa II the weather
turns hot. If his income increases or
diminishes, he will increase or dimin-
ish his expenditures accordingly. II
a new law that affects him is passed,
he will alter his conduct so as to con-
form to it. AS his children arrive at
an educable age, he will take measures
for their education.
Normal action is such as to adjust
the relation between the self and the
circumstances, either by altering the
circumstances, as when we put on
more clothes in cold weather; or by
altering ourselves, as when we learn
a new language on going to new
country; or by altering our action, as
when we stop at home and go to bed
instead Of going to business when we
find ourselves suffering from fever.

How Not to Take Vacation.

Mere abstinence from work does not
constitute real vacation. A vacation
has the idea of benefit in IL. Some
times II develops into loafing match
that is more harmful than good.
That's the way it goes with Peter
Jones. Pete will vacate at home.
That Is, he will vacate his bed when
he gets tired lying in it. He will also
vacate all jobs and responsibility untTl
necessity drives him back to a job.
The front porch will be his lounging
place until the sun drives him else
where The rest Of the day will find
him on the shady side Of anything that
isn't too hard to reach. He'll go back
TO his job, lazy-limbed. stomach-stalled,
and brain-fagged. less fit for work than
when he took to vacating. There's
sense and nonsense In it..-Pennsyl-
vania Grit.

Omaha Boy Cooks
For Y. w. at
Coblenz
Hostess House Feeds 1000
People for Regular Meals
and 500 for a Tea.

AT least one establishment IN the
world is exempt from the servant
problem; they are not afraid of los
ing their cook. or of having her
strike for higher wages and par
lor to entertain her beaux in; and
that place is the Y. w. c. A. host
ess house which has recently been
established in Coblenz, Germany,
for the women in the army of occu-
patton. The U. S. army has assign
ed to this hostess house as cook
Sergt. Albert Spencer Of Omaha.
The Wv. C. A. hostess house in
Coblenz is one of the busiest places
in this busy German town. 1t feeds
1000 people for regular meals every
day and 500 for tea every afternoon
and evening. This takes great deal
of food and the only way to get it
is to go to the rail head and haul it
home.
Two of the SECRETARIES have been
detailed as mess kergeants to take
care of the job, Julia Chaplin of Hol-
yoke, Mass, and Zilla Mills of Te-
cumseh, Mich. They have to go to
the rail head at 8 every morning
with great truck, and stand in line
with all the mess sergeants from the
army of occupations-the only wo-
men in the long line waiting for pro
visions. A detail of Germans usually
does the loading for the "lady mess
sergeants" who stand by and d.
rect. The Y. w. c. A. usually carries
away about 900 pounds of meat at
each visit and about IL sacks of po-
tatoes.
From the rail head the mess ser
geants go to the U. S. bakery which
is on the outskirts of the city, and
here the "woman's portion" is 800
loaves every day.
1.-THE girls always stand by and
check up the number of loaves they
are getting. None of the boys ever
do that" was the bakers comment
on these "lady mess sergeants."

Heart Beats

By A. X. (
Once
Upon 4 time
We had the very
Erroneous idea that We
Were important
Or at least prominent
And perhaps popular
Maybe
We hoped
That a wee bit Of fame
Attached to our name
Or if not fame
Some notoriety
Chung to our
Identification.
But we were entertaining
False hopes
Riotous ideas
Vagrant thoughts
Bold assumptions
For the sad awakening
Is upon us at last
And we are realizing
From the depths
Of despair.
That we are but
Average mortal
And we find ourself
Inconsequential
Inhnitesimal
And not very much
In this
Terrestrial plan
But we are awake!
At lastl
And know that our
Estimation of ourselves
Was all wrong
For we have no popularity
And no prominence
And no fame.
Through these thrilling
Days we have waited
And waited and waited
And not single soul
Has sent a bomb
To US.
