Your New Dress

you can afford to put in it is another
consideration.
Never dress beyond your means.

which condition is probably the
most important factor underlying
their chronic criminality.
We say chronic criminality, be-
cause at least 60 per cent of the in
mates of the penal and correctional
institutions are repeaters who have
served many sentences each.
Five hundred thousand men,
women and children enter prisons,
reformatories and other correc-
tional institutions in the United
States every year.
In the search for the causes or
crime and methods for its repres-
sion the most Important factor in
the whole situation has been large
and his health.
The existence of mental disease
and deterioration. mental defect,
psychopathic personality, epilepsy
and the like in a fairly large pro-
portion of the inmates of penal and
correctional institutions makes
clear how futile it is merely to at
tempt blindly to administer the
law instead of endeavoring to un-
derstand and solve the problems
these individuals present.
Prisons should be equipped with
clinics and the entire penal machin-
cry of a State should be so organ
lied as to enable it to carry into
effect the recommendations of such
clinics.
1t is more sensible, more econom-
ical, and more humane to detect,
through properly equipped court
clinics, the conditions from which
these individuals are suffering long
before they are sent to prison than
later, when deterioration in the
mentally i'll and serious criminal
tendencies in the mentally defec-
tive cannot be prevented.
These mental disorders, in very
many cases, result from physical
disease.
Our brutal and idiotic system pro-
yides for the shocking to death of
sick men after they have committed
murder, but it makes no provision
for the prevention or early detec-
ton OF the diseases that bring them
to ruin.
A state in which such conditions
prevail cannot claim to be civilized.

thought she must do the same.

CHAPTER XII.

Copyright. 1919, star Company.
IN less than a week an upright
piano had been brought TO
a Daniel Rodney's house and In
stalled in the library in the space
between the fireplace and the win
dow. Hugh's couch was drawn out
in front Of the hearth. and he was
in the habit Of lying here hour
after hour while Laura or Ruth read
to him.
The piano arrived one morning.
and. when Ruth entered the library
that afternoon she heard the thrill
OF excitement in the invalid's voice
even before she saw the cause OF IT.
''Oh, Doris, darling am so glad
you've come" he greeted her. You
are later than usual today-aren't
you?"
~ don't think So" she said. "Why
were you in such a hurry for me-"
Look he commanded.
He pointed across the room, but
not TO the piano, for his blindness
made il impossible for him to indi-
cate the exact location of the in
strument. Doris did not tell him
this.
"Oh, the pianos here" she ex-
claimed. trying to throw the correct
amount OF enthusiasm into her voice.
Your father did not let the grass
grow under his feet, did he?"
"Iindeed. he did not! Ever since
he spoke of 1t ] have felt as IL ]

sing, Doris. Just as soon as you

You forgot it yourself in your
excitement over the piano." she re-
torted jestingly.

TOR the daily care Of the eyes
there should be two baths. The

death very closely, and, IN
u fact, trance does end fatally
at times.
Consciousness in a trance may be
entirely abolished. The face is eI-
tremely pale. The limbs usually
remain flaccid. but may be rigid o.
show spasmodic movements. The
pupils may be dilated and imrno-
bile. Sensation, although frequently
retained or heightened. may be
abolished. The pulse and .respirs-
ton may become temporarily ir,-
perceptible.
The combination of these syn,p-
toms persisting for some hours may
present a very close resemblance to
death. There are three tests. how
ever. which serve TO distinguish
the two states from each other

ton. the persistence of the excitabii-

Very little is known as to the rcA
basis of trance. Something nap
pens to render the nerve cells con
trolling the higher physic functions
inactive, and then the morbid state
spread to the lower centers IN
varying degree.
A partial physiologic counterpart
of trance is to be seen in the hiber-
nation of some animals. Observa-
ton of such animals shows that
when the heart-beats fall to eight
or ten a minute the respirations
are still lower and the tempera-
ture is subnormal. 1t may be that
trance in human beings is In some
sense nothing but a recurrence OF
the Information which at a low
stage of our evolution was shared
in common with other animal life.
According to this view trance be-
comes further proof of the doc
trine of evolution.

have the power OF holding their
