The Aienist's Revenge

A South German university has on
Its faculty prominent psychiatrist
by the name of (say) DR.. Mann. He
is frequently called upon by the local
court to examine the mental state
of defendants claiming immunity on
account of mental deficiency. A case
of this sort is one day submitted to
DR.. Mann. The alienist puts on his
glasses and transfxes the alleged
defective. The latter winces. SAYS
the alienist: "What is your name?"
The alleged defective: "Taylor." The
alienist: What is your trade?" The
defective: Shoemaker" The alien

7 ERY moderate enforcement
~ of the "blue laws" was
v the policy Of the Balti-
more police on the sec
ond Sunday of the Maryland city's
revival of ancient statutes. Only
fragrant violations were to be pros
ecuted.
"Should we locate cigarmakers or
sweatshop operators at work we
would arrest them Immediately"
said Captain League, Of the Central
Police Station, to representative
Of "The Baltimore News" because
that kind of work will be a strictly
popular violation"
That is, in spite of the grand
jury's recommendation, sodas and
ice cream will be sold as usual, and
business generally will go on as be-
fore. Violations are to be handled
by new method; the police will
take the offenders names and for
ward them to the grand jury for
special procedure" This will re-
lieve the overworked police magis-
trates of a new burden, as the past
weeks "blue law" cases are far
from finished.
Garages are still closed, except
for one open merely to let the own
ers get their cars, but drug stores
and tobacco shops made no secret
Of doing business, although the po-
lice we're busy taking names. Lists
Of names and goods sold were turned
in when the police went off duty,
but they will not reach the grand
jury for week. The delay is due
to the fact that the jury is still busy
with the cases of the week before.
Says "The News:
"Many civilians who were stopped as
they purchased a cigar or almost any
thing but postage stamp in a drug
store will be compelled to lose a great
part of some day to wait in long
line outside the grand jury room when
the time arrives for them to appear
"And as they wait and see policemen
pass in and out many Of them will
learn that the inquest finds it unneces
ssry for them to testify before tho

ternal questions and the council of
thirteen is the place of final appeal.
The villages are very quiet, with
a few stores and perhaps a factory
or flour mill located on the main
street. All the houses are unpaint-
ed, for the sake of economy; gen
orally square or rectangular, with
large gables, and consisting only of
sitting rooms and bedrooms.
No individual cooking is done in
the Amana homes. The housewife
does not have to worry about the
dinner question.
Large community kitchens are
scattered through the village, and
groups of thirty to forty people eat
at each. Families with children un-
der two or three years of age have
their meals brought to them.
Large, plain tables are used. The
men sit at one, the women at an
other, while the children occupy a
third.
The kitchens are run by the
women of the society, three serving
for a week at a time under one
woman permanently in charge. The
women also take care of the gar
dens, but heavy labor is hired from
outside. Prayer meetings are held
daily after supper in the dining
halls, also on Sundays in the same
places.
Children receive a grade school
education from members of the col
ony, who follow the state course
and are graduates of the state nor.
NAL school. AS they grow older
their school day is shortened and
they are trained directly for their
particular function in the colony.

Killing OF the Elk

years under the patronage of clox

Zone Helena man who killed an elk
forgot the need OF handling the truih
carefully. and. returning TO Helena, be
told of killing three elk and was take
in hand by game warden. Now b
has some explaining to do.
"The unlawful killing of elk, e,pe-
cially along the borders OF YellowstOns
Park. is an activity that the National
Forest in particular is combating as
sisted, of course, by the State Fish and
Gamo Commission. Elk teeth find
ready market and the contraband caa
be disposed of with little difficulty once
the evidence of illegal elk slaughter IS
concealed. Elk seeth make elegant
watch charms and other ornaments
and in getting these teeth llllciuy
poachers find a profitable business pro-
vided they can escape the law.
"W ith the heavy snow early IN ae
season the grim danger of large bands
of elk starving in and near the pan
is imminent The government is able
to supply some hay, and year after
year the animals are fed near CARD
iner, Just as -ancher would feed
his cattle.
while the slaughter has cost many
elk in Montana. it has also caused TIT
death of several hunters. Captain VIE
lam r. Strong, of Helena, was mis-
taken for an elk and killed IN ths

spots in the United States. His Doc!

agents in recounting what the accused
had told them regarding their plans
for the establishment of Bolshevik
form of government in Canada.
"The cases against the accused men
who have been ordered deported were
conclusive, according to Royal North
west Mounted Police official. He said
the immigration board did not order
the deportation of a man unless it
was definitely shown that he had been
engaged in activities planned to bring
about the overthrow of constituted
government in Canada and the insti
tlon of soviet rule, or the dictatorship
OF the proletariat.' The proof of this,
said the official, was the fact that
eight of the men had been released.
The evidence in these cases pointed to
strong Bolshevik sympathies and to
the fact that the accused had advocated
the substitution of the Bolshevik sys-
tenn of misgovernment for the demo-
cratic form of rule which holds favor
IN Canada. But for ore reason or an
other the cases were not adiudred
sufficiently strong to warrant the ex-
portation of the accused and they were
freed-with warnings.
$50 far as the trials were concerned
the accused were given every oppor-
tunity to defend themselves. They
were permitted to employ counsel and
to submit evidence on their own behalf.
The board listened patiently to all of
the evidence and handed down its
findings.

stands is very broad in it's effect. 1t

The architect smiled. "My per-

considerable resumption of construc-

to "The Minneapolis Jour

ing the ten days open season

This has resulted in the extermina-
ton of one herd and a serious
diminution of herds throughout the
state. Owing to several years pro-
lection FROM hunters the elk wander
into the lowlands, where the hunters
lie in wait. According to "The
Journal:
"Sportsmen all over Montana are
complaining bitterly over the methods
used by many hunters in Powell Coun-
ty, where, in the region Of Bison Noun
tain, as well wooded and as picturesque

guarded by the law, and unmolested
by the inhabitants for dozen years.
almost was annihilated in a few hours
after the season opened this year, the
ban having been removed for ten days
through an act of the Legislature.
Presidents of Reed Lodge, anticipat-
ing the result, even went out and tried
to drive the elk away But the animals,
unaccustomed to being disturbed, re-
fused to be driven. These men went
so far as to shoot the animals with
salt and to discharge dynamite in their
efforts to frighten the animals into
other localities. Their failure meant
that when more than 100, hunters
swooped down upon the herd the open
ing day of the season the slaughter
was brief but lacking little in com
pleteness.
ut is said that some hunters went
out several days before the opening of
the season. Cases are reported where
men, it is alleged, built corral
into which the elk we're driven and
then shot when the law absolved the
ban of protection. 1t was the usual
thing for every hunter who went out
to bring back an elk.

Three Reasons

An ingenious mind can find a hun
dred reasons for this condition, but
three of the hundred will suffice to
explain. First, Paris is a world
center to degree it has never been
before in all it's wonderful history ::
second, the permanent population of
the city has increased by at least
100000 since the war began; and,
third, there has been no building
worth talking Of since August, 1914,
and there is no immediate prospect
of construction being undertaken.
Let us take these three reasons in
their order.
Not much need be said about Paris
as a world center. The last wear
has seen the coming of innumerable
delegations to the peace conference,
who requisitioned hotels and rented
apartments at figures impossible to
the individual without state funds
behind him. Then came a gradual
loosening Of passport restrictions,
seized upon by business men of
all nations anxious to be first in
the field. Later began the invasion
of those seeking a sight Of the last
resting place of loved ones fallen
in battle and of the greater number
drawn by simple curiosity to see
what mans inhumanity to man had
cost the world. To-day the peace
delegations are drifting away-un-
wept, unhonored and unsung-but
the business men, the bereaved
parents and relatives and the sight
seers are flooding in, not in single
files but in battalions. The flood

BY Wilmott Lewis
Paris, October so, 1919.

"HIS is translation of a
statement issued by real
Il estate and renting agency of
Paris, which tells dismal
tale eloquently enough:
"It Is useless to ask us to find an
apartment at less than 5000 francs
a year. Notwithstanding the wide
scope of our organization, notwith-
standing our relations with owners
and agents of apartment buildings,
with architects and proprietors, we
can find nothing-or next to nothing
at less than 5000 francs. Every
thing is takenl We regret this deep
]y, but we believe it better not to
encourage vain hopes"
Let not the American who reads
this and who divides 5000 by, say,
nine to find that it means less than
$500 year, let not this American
carry away q wrong impression
Rents in Paris have never been what
they are in big American cities. The
apartments at 5000 francs here re-
ferred to are the small three-room-
and-kitchenette apartments for
which, before the war, 1000, 1900,
$500 and 1900 francs a year was
asked, according to location. To-day
they are at 5000 francs-and at that
figure they cannot be found!

evening. 1t is more like a sardine
can than a city.
