BILL CARLISLE
KNIT FOR YANKS
Curious SideIight Reveals
Bandits Character

IiAWLfNS, Wyo., Dec. 1s.--Tha
Union Pacific train robber. William
l.. Carlisle. who held up the pas
on its way thru Wyoming. Novem-
ber IS. and then kept sheriffs' posses
on the jump searching for him. be-
trays a rare contradiction In char
acter.
Armed with a revolver and facing
car full OF passengers. or twisting
and turning TO elude sheriffs pos
Sc. Carlisle became a daring Grim
inal. In prison he knitted sweaters
for soldiers and bought Liberty Bonds
with the money he earned from man.
ufaeturing small articles for sale.
His holiness startled and alarmed
not only the passengers he robbed.
but the authorities who had endeav-
ored TO apprehend him. Even while
troops were hunting for him, Carlisle
entered n telegraph office and sent n
message TO the Union Pacific Of
ficials. thanking them for the CON
tributions" he had collected from tho
passengers on the last train he rob-
bed. IL r. said that he even entered
a newspaper office. asked for news
about the search for himself and read
the dispatches and vanished.
One OF carlisle's peculiarities was
TO announce. when engaged in a
hoidup. that. Il am not robbing
women. children. old men. soldiers or
sailors" but he went thru the
pockets OF all other passengers with
out conjunction.
Carlisle was sentenced to prison
here May IL. 1916. after a spectac-
ular career the previous winter. in
which he robbed several Union Pa.
cific trains lie was taken prisoner
in April. 1916. the day after he had
held up Union Pacific train near
Hanna. Two days later he was con-
victed.
lie told his captors. II am not a
killer" II is said that from his
hiding place he might have killed
many OF the posse TO which he sur
rendered.
SO model was Carlisle's conduct in
prison that his sentence was COM
muted from SO to Is years. He Ia
less than 80 years old and his happy
smiling. boyish face is in sharp con-
tradiction with his record as a bandit
The outlaw worked in prison as a
bookkeepcr. and often boasted that
he could escape whenever he wished.
lie disappeared from that institution
in a box OF shirts which was being
shipped by train from a railroad sta
ton nearby.

DOES 1T PAY?

(The following extracts are taken
from "Does 1t Pay?" the booklet is
sued by the State Council of Defense,
from which some matter was publish
ed last week. 1t is to be hoped that
the readers of The Advertiser are
giving these facts and arguments
their very careful attention. There
will be more to follow. "Does 1t
Pay" is study Of education on its
lowest, most vulgar terms, that of
money-getting, but even there it
presents an unanswcrablc argument.

Education and Income

Is education worth anything in
dollars and cents? Does it increase
ones earning capacity? If so, how
much?
Prior to 1914 it was easy to give
definite answers to these questions
Many impartial Investigations into
the relation between education and
income had been made, and their re-
suits all pointed strikingly to the
greatly increased earning capacity of
the educated over the uncducatcd
AS expressed by Foster: at seems
that men do not differ much below the
shoulders; with that part of their
anatomy they gain about the same
wages per day in the unscntimcntal
world of business; what they become
from the shoulders up makes the diff
ference"
These conclusions have been OBJ
tained in two ways. In one, the in
Vestigators went into the factories,
business houses, and other cntcrpris-
es and found out the amount of
schooling the successful employees
In the various grades of work had
had. In the other, the investigators
followed out into life the graduates
of certain schools to see what kinds
OF work they went into, what records
they made, and what salaries they
drew from year to year "Thc salary
paid to an individual because Of GER
tain educational qualifications pos
sessed by him represents not only the
financial value of that education to
him, but also in general way rep
