POINT He HAD OVERLOOKED
Grouchy Man Was Too Eager to Regis
ter "Kick" to Take Notice
What Time 1t Was.

A horse hitched to a wagon fell
across the car tracks in front OF a
government building in the national
capital.
In about two minutes the driver, as
buckled lot of harness and the horse
was up and on his way. And that
was all there was to it except that
When a car waited for the track to
be cleared an elderly man person, who
looked as if he considered the world
a big mistake, said to a man beside
him:
"Cast your eyes at the windows of
that office, sir; every one alive with
men and women; if the clerks Of a
department will leave their desks and
fritter away the governments time
over q trifing sight like this, what, sir,
I ask, must be the state of our ma
tiOnal cOnsciencew
The man next had cast up an eye
per request, and chuckled with the
heartiness of one who sleeps well,
eats three solid meals a day, and
treats his wife like perfect lady.
"Say, friend, you've got it all balled
up. You are so busy looking at the
windows that you overlook the clocks.
Noon means lunch time"
And the national conscience was
indicated.

State Has 1900 Feeble Minded.
Wisconsin has more than $4,000 fee
ble-minded persons, and of these at
least $500 should have institutional
care, according to figures compiled by
the welfare department, university ex-
tension division.
The state has 1000 feeble-minded
between the ages of two and twenty
years. Some 249 young men of draft
age were rejected or discharged from
military service prior to April, 1918,
because of mental deficiency. About
5000 feeble-minded children are en-
rolled in public schools, many Of
whom are degenerates and menace.
OF the $500, less than 10 per cent
are cared for in institutions. The
feeble-minded are costing the state, it
is estimated, approximately $5OO,OOO

Detecting Pretended Deafness.

In cases where there is hysterical
and imagined deafness, or plain simu
lation, the following ingenuity is pre-
scribed: The patient is made to sing
with a piano accompaniment. Then
the pianist changes the key (from
one-half to one tone or more), and il
the singer is not really deaf he is car
ried along by his singing and changes
to the key given by the piano. BY play
ing in varying strength one may by
this means estimate the degree Of all

May Drain Swamp Lands.

way ~ am SWGEIH LcuOSs
What Governor Philip declares he
believes to be among some of the most
important measures before the legis-
lature are the bills providing for the
drainage of the swamp lands Of Wis
cOnsin. The main bill has been prac-.
tically agreed upon and will be pre-.
sented to the legislature for adoption
within the next few days.
For four years the legislature has
been attempting to enact drainage
measure. The bill died at the 1917
session Of the legislature because it
was received by the governor too late.
The special session of the legislature
attempted to take up the natter but
the time was too short to give ade-
,Quate consideration and it was finally
decided to lay the bill over until the
1919 season. Two measures have
been presented on the subject. These,
if passed, would affect upward OF
100000 acres of land.
