Elk Horse Thief
Sleuths Turn To
Auto Recovery

Parsons, Kan. Dec. 29--In the
old days of Kansas, and not such
a whale OF a while ago either, one
of the most heinous crimes in this
state was horse stealing. To be
called horse thief" in the Sum
flower State meant something;
while to be caught horse stealing
meant something else-occasiCn-
ally rope stretching" party.
But times changed, so much so,
in fact, that the famous Kansas
Anti Horse Thief Association just
about passed out of existence.
Then times changed again, and
now the same Anti Horse Thief
Association is buster chasing au-
to thieves than it ever was chas-
ing horse thieves.
John Wall, state commander of
the A. H. T. A., declares that the
association will ask for a twenty
year sentence in the state peni-
tentiary for each and every motor
car thief at the next session Of
the legislature.

The project, which contemplates

Fleishhacker, has been sanctioned
by President Harding and is the
outcome of recent conference

1t is proposed that the corpora

Professional Hobo
Fast Disappearing

San Francisco, Dec. 29-The
old time professional hobo is dis
appearing. A new generation,
ranging from twenty to thirty
years of age has taken his place
but the new generation lacks the
finesse at the art of hoboing that
was distinctive Of the old timer.
"The old time hobo is disappear
ing, giving place to younger gen
eration," said Dan O'Connell, chief
special agent for the largest rail-
road operating in the west, under
whose direction no less than 20,-
634 hobos were put off trains on
the railroads system during the
month of October alone.
"The number of hoboes this
year is greater than during any
previous period in the company's
history" said O'Connell.
"The majority of those beating
their way on trains are young
men. Most of them are under
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-12-29

thirty years of age, and many are
in their early twenties.
"The old timers, with their
. blanket rolls, are found more in
frequently. The newcomers in
this class are not SO wise to the
ways of hoboing, and many lives
are lost"
"The percentage of fatalities to
injuries is much greater in the
case of persons beating their way
on trains than in the case of ac-
cidents to railroad employees" ac-
cording to r. ]. Clancy, a rail-
road official in charge of safety
work. "The practice of stealing
rides is highly dangerous, and the
danger is not generally appreciat-
ed. II such trespassers meet with
accidents the chances are that
they will be killed, or manned FOR
life."

HEALTH OF
WARDS Is
GUARDED
State Protects Boys of
Training School Thru
Careful Inspection by
Physicians

On the theory that an ounce OF
prevention is worth several pounds
OF cure, every boy committed to
4 the state training school for boys
is subjected to a thorough examin-
alton by a competent physician
\ Immediately upon his receipt at
the institution, according to l.. M.
! Gilbert, superintendent of the
school.
Previous to the adoption of the
precaution some two years ago,
Gilbert points out, the institution
was constantly battling against
epidemics Of children's diseases
brought to the institution by boys
from all sections of the state. In
spite of the requirement that ev-
cry boy committed to the institu-
tion must bring with him GER
tificate of health, an epidemic of
small pox was introduced into the
school some two years ago which
cost several hundred dollars in the
determination.
Examined Twice
This lesson lead to the added
precaution of an examination at
the school which is conducted by
DR.. G. @. Bellinger, superinten-|
dent of the state tuberculosis hos
pital and physician for the boys
training school.
The value of this examination
in handling of boys committed to|
the state school is illustrated BY
Gilbert in the case of boy who
had spent three years in the Whit
tier school for boys in California
before being sent to the Oregon
school. In the California school
the boy had been regarded as an
incorrigible. An examination of
the boy here developed the fact !
that he was suffering from leak
age Of the heart. He was given
easy tasks to preform and treated
with patience with the result that
1t was possible to parole him.
Careful Records Kept
Boys who are under weight up
on their arrival at the school are
given special treatment and plac-
ed upon regular diet, with plen-
ty of wholesome food and regular
hours of sleep. Tea and coffee are
never served at the school, but
there is plenty of milk from the
institution's own dairy herd. A.
careful check is kept on the weight
OF each boy and an increase in
weight is almost invariably noted
under the schools treatment. One
boy was sent home 20 pounds
heavier than he was when receiv-
ed four months before and his
brother had gained ten pounds in
the same period.
All boys in the institution are
required to undergo examination
of the tonsils, eyes are tested reg
ularly and teeth are scrutinized
periodically by the institution
dentist and the toothbrush is a
part of every boys equipment.
Play Is Supervised.
Vigorous calisthenics, breathing
exercises and military drill before
breakfast and supervised play dur
ing regular periods under the sup
ervision Of the physical director
help to keep the boys in good
physical condition.
The Schick test for diphtheria
is administered to all boys, geo
having been treated to date of
whom approximately one-third
were found to be susceptible to
the disease and who have been
