E. N. BREITUNG FREED
Court Falls to Hold millionaire
Caught In Raid

New York. Nov. TO-. - Edward n.
Breitung, millionaire mining engineer
and oil operator. was discharged in
Yorkvilc Court yesterday by Magistrate
Ryttenberg on technical charge of
vagrancy in connection with police
raid in an apartment on Madison ave-
nue..
The Court, in a twenty page review
of the case. held that Breitung was
not subject to prosecution, and no evil
dcncc had been submitted to show that
he was guilty of anything except being
in the partment at the time of the
police raid.
The Breitung case attracted more
than ordinary attention because of the
attempt to establish the equal guilt Of
men with that of women in offenses
against morality.
The circumstances leading to Mr..
Breitring's arrest were that detectives
entering the home of Mrs. Nellie Kift,
at $40 Madison avenue, arrested her.
charged with letting rooms for immoral
purposes. At her trial the detectives
testified they found ljrcitung and two
girls, Jean Whitney and Erna Clark.
Magistrate Jean Norris. the only wo-
man on the bench. heard the case. and
Brcitung appeared as witness for Mrs.
Kift. declaring he had visited her in
connection with business deal.

NOBILITY



True worth IS In being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not IN the dreaming
or great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness
And ap.tc OF the fanc!es Of youth,
There's nothing so kindly as Kindness
And nothing royal as truth.
We get back our mite as wa measure:
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure.

The air for the wing OF the sparrJw.

And straight for the children q men.

Governor general is Il title bestowed on a

who Is governor OF some possession Of a

There are a number of things which
Canada does with more force and direct
ness than we apply in the United States.
One is the punishment of souvenir-hunt-
ing tourists.
= The souvenir-hunter who pays for his
trophies as he goes is a harmless and
perfectably respectable party quite diff
ferent from his fellow-traveler who Sc
questrates everything he can move away
with his own hands, regardless of its use
or value or his own right to it. In the
United States this latter type is regarded
mainly as a pest. In Canada he is recog-
nized for what he truly is-a thief
Not only is there a law protecting the
victims of ills souvenir-hunting craze,
but it is enforced. In one instance a man
and his wife were leaving a hotel. On the
bill presented them was the item ''S14 for
a silver sugar bowl" The man was fur
ious and protested loudly. But the sugar
bowl was indeed found within the family
suitcase. The tourists were not allowed
to return the bowl. The hotel insisted
upon full payment of the bill-and got

THE FROZEN NORTH.

Vilhialmur Stefansson in his latest ar
ticle, The North That Never Was" says,
IF the average American has 10 ideas
about the North. nine of them are wrong"
He begins with the temperature of the
Arctic regions. Using government
weather bureau observations Canadian
and United States-instead of asking the
public to credit his own records of tenn
pcrature, the explorer presents these fig
ures:
At Point Barrow, 300 miles north of
the Arctic circle, the weather reports of
the past 40 years have never recorded
anything lower than 81 degrees below
zero. The lowest temperature ever re-
corded in any settled portion of the
United States is 6S degrees below zero
near Havre, Mont.
American weather bureau reports give
ITO degrees in the shade as the highest
recorded temperature at a point 80 miles
inland in California, and 100 degrees in
the shade at Fort Yukon, Alaska, four
miles north of the Arctic circle.
The explorer goes on to speak of the
size and beauty of the flowers of the
north country. 1t seems that sunlight is
more valuable to growing things as light
than as heat. He says, 1T can be shown
mathematically that the total number of
hours of sunlight in a year (disregarding
cloudiness) is least at the equator and
becomes greater because of refraction)

HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR
Armenian Children Slow in Recover
ing From Terrors to Which They
Were Long Subjected,

According to Dr. Mabel Elliott, head
of the American WOman's Hospitals,
who is now serving with the Near
East Relief at Ismid, Turkey, n large
number of the Armenian children
under her care are suffering from en-
larged hearts or other forms of heart
disease, due to the constant fear to
which they have been prey during the
past few years.
Relief workers in the Near East
have long been familiar with the mem
tai petrifaction due to the terrible ex-
perience through which these children
have passed, most of them having for
gotten everything of their past, their
names, their homes and their language
included, but this is the first instance
that has been recorded of the effect OF
fear on their hearts.
The cure which DR.. Elliott is prac-
ticing with these children is COM
bination of mental and medical. First
of all, they are made to realize that
they are entirely out Of danger and
among friends. Then they are put on
a special diet of nourishing foods and
certain exercises are prescribed. The
results so far have been remarkably
successful.
