great deal of interest. It centers

sequent struggle with a cold world, a
sensitive heart and an unframed hand

the story in an Interesting manner.

child in complying with these laws
by making the task interesting,
through competition and reward and
through the stimulus found in being
one of great national knighthood.

HEADwAY AGAINST DISEASE.

The report OF the census bureau
on mortality for 1919 iS good news
for this dying world, or at any rate
for that part of 1t comprised in the
registration area in the Undtec
States, including about 81 per cent
OF the entire population.
For the death record is the lowest
since figures began to be kept. The
rate for the year was 1928 per thou
sand of population. This is a great
commentator, IL would seem, Of the
administration of local and general
health boards in the aggregate and
of progress in the methods Of con-
serving and improving health.
The three great cestroyers of life
continue to occupy the relative po-
sitions that they have had in recent
years. The greatest mortality is at
trihuted to heart disease, which
some time ago overlook tuberculo-
sis. Next comes tuberculosis. This
and heart disease together caused 20
per cent of all the deaths. Pneu-
monia comes third.
With regard to tuberculosis, a
warning issued a few days ago by
the secretary Of the California Tu-
berculosis association reminds us
that climate, at least in the minds Of
sufferers. still occupies great place
as therapeutic agent. Mrs. Thomp-
son, the secretary, declares that Cal
ifornia can no longer handle the in
creasing immigration of tuberculo-
sis patients, in proper circumstances.
from the eastern states, and that i'm
migration must be stopped IL wide
spread suffering is to be prevented.
The medical profession has arriv-
ed at the opinion that the regimen
for tuberculosis-fre air, sanitary
surroundings, wholesome food and
avoidance of extreme exertion-is
applicable with equal benefits in all
climates, but patients with means
seek the conveniences that are in the
milder climates, and those in less
favorable circumstances continue,
frequently to make almost any sacri-
flee of small property 20 make the

YOUNG MAN CoNFEssEs.
Took Part in Mail Robbery and
Finds That Pals Desert
ed Him.

| After an examination of nearly
| twelve hours in the federal building
at Council Bluffs, Mearl Phillips,
20, dupe OF two experienced Grim
inals, who abandoned him to his
fate after they had used" him to
their purpose, broke down and con-
fessed that he was party to the
robbery OF the registered mail car
on eastbound Burlington train No. 8
OF more than $4,000 between the
! u. p. transfer and the Burlington
tstation in Council Bluffs Saturday
evening.
Following the robbery OF the car
the two hardened breakers" piled
the loot into the waiting auto,
parked along the rail line on Fiji
teenth street, and drove swiftly
away, leaving Phillips practically in
the hands OF the law. Phillips was
to have gone with them in the auto
and to have shared in the plumber.
Phillips was mail piler on the
eastward run from Council Bluffs,
and was arrested Sunday night as he
reached his car to attend to his du-
ties on Burlington No. 6. His ar
rest was kept complete secret un-
til Tuesday morning. He is single
man.
The young confessed robber-or,
rather, conspirator-fo 1t is known
by the postal officers that Phillips
had nothing to do with the actual
rifling of the mail car--hung be-
tween the tender and the mail car
OF the train when it left the transfer
and was to act as a sort Of watch
man to see that all was well. AT
any indication of danger a careful
set OF signals had been arranged.
Officers regard young Phillips as
the poor boob" in the case as his
more hardened comrades double
crossed" him to nicely.
After they had broken into the
car and had thrown out the register
ed pouches. the two robbers climbed
out after them, threy their loot into
a waiting automobile and "beat II
on high"-according to Phillips al
/ legged confession.
They were TO have taken him
along and split the loot with him
but he was abandoned at his lone
post behind the tender: failed to ge4
a dime in the way OF reward. and
now is on his way to the penitentiary
by HIS own confession.
Phillips, when first arrested de-
MED knowing anything about the
robbery. For thirteen hours--from
4 O'Clock Sunday afternoon until s
the next morning--he was grilled
relentlessly by federal inspectors
He told a dozen different stories. AS

CHILDREN DEAD in PANIC.
Owner Of Theatre Arrested After
Fire Scare Kills and Injuries
Many.

A crusade for stricter enforce
ment OF the ordinances forbidding
motion picture proprietors to sell
tickets to minors unless accompani-
ed by parents or guardians was
started by the police in New York on
Monday as a result of the panic on
the lower east side Sunday night
when six children were trampled to
death in a mad rush following a
false cry Of fire"
The police department sent warn
ings to all movie houses that the or
dinance would be strictly enforced
and violators would be vigorously
prosecuted.
Bernard Weinberg and Max
Schwartz, proprietors of the Gather
inc theatre, and Joseph Polivant,
janitor were arrested after the trag-
edy. A charge Of criminal negli-
gence was placed against them and
they were held without bail.
Most of the twelve other young
sters seriously injured when older
children, men and women, bowled
them over in their scramble toward
the exits, were said to be in such a
critical condition that some proba-
bly, would die.
A grand jury will investigate Sun
days panic.
This announcement was made by
District Attorney Swami, who as
serted that he had learned certain
theatres employed professional
guardians" to get around city or
dinance which prohibits children
under age attending performances
alone. Mr.. Swami said he had learn
ed these guardians" bought tickets
for children and escorted them to
their seats, reporting again outside
the theatre for further duty.
