COPING With Crime.

IF we are to cope successfully with the
problem of reducing crime in Chicago we must
understand the criminal. There has been too
much medding by well-meaning people who do
not understand crime" says the president Of
the Chicago crime commission. His words will
apply with full force to other communities.
The intentional criminal is man who thinks
he is smarter than those around him. He pits
his wits against society. That he is frequently
successful is an encouraging factor for the
guidance of others like minded. Surrounding
these men with comforts and conveniences
changes the conditions, to quote again from the
Chicago report, until what was previously in
tended as punishment is no longer a punish
ment but a vacation" 1t must not be argued
that prisons are to be made into places of ter
ror, but they must have some quality that will
create feeling of awe in the minds of men, so
they will think twice before mourning the risk
of Imprisonment. And, above all other things,
mercy should not temper justice until the law
becomes joke and its penalty promise of a
softer way Of living than comes through honest
work.

A GYPSY SONG.

Have you never walked along the right of
way,
Stopping in a prairie town with streets
of clay?
Hav you never heard the humping
of the windmill, and the humping
or the empty cars that switch around
for hay?
Have you never seen sweet williams by
the track,
And the vioets and roses farther back?
Or the fences border briste
With the Yucca and the thistle,
While the wheat beyond is sweating in
the stack?
Have you never smoked your briar in the
dark,
Semi dreaming as the distant watch
dogs bark?
Have you never heard the warning
OF A raincrow In the morning?
Never listened to the matin Of lark7
Have you never as a gypsy raised your
In the stiffness to the painting Of the
skies?
This, you say. Is not your measure?
Then you've missed a lot OF pleasure
In the Eden Of the rover of the ties.

CONGRESS AND THE puRsE-srR1Nhs.


A solemn warning is>issued by Carter Glass;
late secretary Of the treasury, that unless rigid
economy is observed in public expenditures an
other issue Of Liberty bonds will be required to
meet obligations. That this is true will sur
prise nobody, but that such admonition should
be given to congress Is amazing.
Appropriation committees are at work on
the budget for 1921. These have before them
estimates prepared by the several departments
Of the government, each asking for increased
allowances. A generous rivalry appears to
have sprung up between the cabinet officers as
to which will ask for the larger sum of money
The magic Of the "billion-dollar" era still. holds
sway in Washington, and under its potent Unfit
ence an hundred millions seems to be the small
est sum department head can visualize.
When the present congress was called into
extraordinary session in May, it was to deal
with appropriations the democrats had failed to
provide. Thirty-eight working days were al
lotted for the job, but in that short time the
bills that had been approved by the preceding
congress were revised and the totals reduced
from $3,767,975,o7473 to $2,S2S,2S3,43276. A
great hullabaloo had been sent up about the
flibuster that had blocked the appropriations
in the Sixty-hfth congress, although that body
had had nine months to prepare and pass the
measures. That so-caed "hlibuster" saved the
country $94ooO0,000!
Department estimates submitted to con-
gress have already been reduced by the COM
mittee by more than billion and half of
dollars. The 1921 total is not yet available, but
it is far less than the sum requested by the
dap "a,
niggard in making provisions for continuing
the government in all its varied activities but
is not responsible for the extravaganza con-
templated by the administrative officers.
Senator Glass would do we'll to address
his communications on the subject of economy
to his democratic brethren in the cabinet.

Stencikng Your Curtains.

Stencikng Your Curtains.
Your own room, dainty and beau
tiful with the furniture you, decor
ated, may have stenciled curtains
to match. The same stencil design
of flowers or fruits that you used
for the chairs and table will be at
tractive for the curtains. Use
heavy, unbleached cotton, cheese
cloth, or scrim These materials
stencil we'll, and make good wearing
curtains.
First Step.
Lay a large piece of plotting
paper on a board, and over this the
edge or the corner of the curtain
that you are going to stencil. The
stencil pattern should then be pinned
to these about half an inch from the
hem. Then test your oil colors on
an old piece of cloth. The paint
should be as thin as possible to
give the right clor, so you may need
to mix turpentine with it. An old
cup may hold each color, and you
should have short, bristle brushes,
one for each color. :
Putting on the Colors.
Once you learn the process of
stenciling, you can do 1t very SsH

10 feet long, ~ to , inches thick,
and 10 to II inches wide. 1t should
hang about s inches above the floor
on four ropes tied separately to pre-
vent fitting. To be sitter, it might
be hung on four long narrow boards,
say lx4 inches, pivoted on pixies at
each end.
The handles, or stationary oars (E
and E. may be made of sections out
of the handle of an old shovel or
rake. The uprights Cd and d. to
which they are fastened with bolts,
should be about 2 feet long and of
2x4s. The crosspiece CO. to which
the uprights are nailed should be
a 2x4 about 5 feet long. The clear
ance between the inside ends of the
handles must be at least 20 inches.
The footrest (F) is a 2x4 about 80
to So inches long, nailed edgewise
to floor. .-.
The distance between the handles
and footrest depends on the boys
size. Hang the plank and build the
oar and footrest frameworks. Be-
fore mailing them to the floor, sit on
the plank, lean far back, almost
touching the back to the plank, and
keep legs absolutely straight. While
in that position, have someone place
the footrest so that it is against the
feet and the oar framework so that
you can just reach it with your
hands by stretching. Then nail the
framework in that position.
To use the machine, sit on the
plank, with the feet on the footrest

A bankers committee again insists that the
government must finance the industrial recov-

that it is any part of his duty to invest money IN
promoting private enterprise abroad when con-
ditions are so unsettled at home
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1920-01-13

Use as little paint on the brush as
possible, and dab the brush on the
cloth that shows through the holes
of the pattern, working from the
edges of the design toward the
center. As you remove the stencil
to pin it farther along, hold the
curtain up to the light to see if the
color is right. Wipe off the pins
before using them again, and be
very sure that the edges of the
stencil are clean of paint before
you fasten it on for the next strip
Of the design.
Finishing Touches.
Be sure not to fold the curtains
until the stenciling is perfectly dry.
If your colors are not too thick, the
curtains may be washed with the
care given ordinary colored ones.
The hens may be done in hem
stitching, and a stenciled valance at
the top of the window will add ever
so much to them.
If you did your furniture in yell
low, the curtains may be decorated
with stenciled nasturtiums in yell
lows and orange. A blue room needs
roses on the curtains, and green
painted furniture is attractive with
a design of vio1ets that is repeated
in the hangings.
Doesn't this sound like your best
of-all craft work? And the incest
part about it is that stenciling is
so easy.

INDIAN FIGHTERS CELEBRATE
 WITH STORIES OF OLD

There were AZ attendants at late picnic at the mouth of Dripping Springs Wash, near Globe, every one of them member of the Clan Mid dleton, a pioneer family of the local ity. Among the stories retold were of the fight of the family in northern Tonto Basin in 1881 with Indians of the Eskinoyouhay band, who treacher- ously opened fire after some of them had been fed at the Middleton home cn Cherry Creek. Henry Moody and George L. Turner, IT,, were killed ani Henry Middleton shot above the heart yet lived to join in the picnic, came from his home in the State of Wash ington. Eugene Middleton, a son, led an expedition from Globe to the rescue finding his people making their way cn foot down Cherry creek valley, at tending the wounded member, on the only horse the Indians had left. In 1882 Eugene and Henry Middleton were heroes in riding through the In- t.ian country to warn the Pleasant val ley settlers of the coming of the raiding Nadiski Indian band, the largest that had left the reservation around San Carlos. The two and Lafayette Boone barely managed to make their way to the Middleton house on wounded horses down a canyon, the close mark of hundred Apaches. 
 Eugene Middleton participated in the last Indian uprising in Arizona, the break for freedom of eight Apach- es, including the notorious "Kid," all sentenced to the penitentiary for crim- es committed on the San Carlos reser- vation. The Indians killed their guards, sheriff Glen Reynolds and Wm. H. Holmes, best known as "Hunkydory," one of the very first whites in the Gila valley and in the Globe section. Middleton was shot through the cheeks, neck and body and was left as dead, yet managed
