Half Wit Criminals.

Atrocious crimes, committed by detectives,
have started agitation in various states for
better control Of the weak-minded. One in
every 800 Americans is q defectice, according
to DR.. Martin Barr. chief physician OF the
Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble
Minded Children. DR.. Barr estimates that
there are $4,000 detectives in the United
States Only 1000 are confined in state insti-
tutions. One thousand more are cared for in
private asylums. That leaves 32S.000 mental
and moral detectives at large. A good many
of them are harmless. But many are potential
or actual criminals.
Police Commissioner Woods Of New York
has specialized on the subject He says that

dies the subject efficiently. In the average
community It is nobodys business to keep an
eye on detectives. They are allowed to run at

normal children, exerting an unvholesome in
huence. What's to be done with them? Police
Commissioner Woods of New York says: ''The
BEGINNING Of a movement to eliminate the de-
fective from our midst should start In the
schools Examinations should be made and
children who are dull, stupid and unpromising
but As yet not criminals, should be separated
and treated. If 1t is found that after kind and
prolonged treatment the child cannot be made

The Daily Short S tory

little woman in hot pursuit.
"Oh, Bob, can't you catch him."
she cried excitedly. Don't let him
get into the road, for PHYS sake"
There are moments in life when
temperaments undergo a quick
Transformation. Barlow expert
enced this on that Sunday after
noon. He who heretofore had been
slow OF speech and slow of move
ment suddenly became quick-spo-
ken and alert. He dashed out into
the road, arms waving threatening
ly. and Chanticleer, with an ex-
clamation of rage, changed his
course in the direction of the
gooseberry bushes.
That barnyard fowl had in him
one quality Of hero. The arrival
of new antagonist, far from quel
ling his martial spirit, increased it
yet the more. He flew, he lodged,
he stalked tantalizingly about Just
beyond the reach of outstretched
arms, and was captured only when
gooseberry bushes, pressed trous-
ers, polished shoes and a dainty aft
ernoon gown gave evidence of the
devastation of war.
Wont you come in, Bob?" In
spite OF the torn and mud-stained
gown, Barlow thought the lady of
his choice had never looked half so
sweet as when she peeped up 1T
him through pair of dancing eyes
and blushingly asked the question.
In her winsome little face was no
hint of that hated independence. 1t
seemed charmingly feminine.
Barlow smiled. Certainly. Yo1

here merely for the JOY Of chasing
a rooster over plowed ground and
through gooseberry bushes, do

She laughed. "No, I don't sup

you were here. / don't know what
I should have done without you"
He looked keenly into the brown
eyes raised to his.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Toe MAILING.

QUESTlONS AND ANcVE10s
! Toe Walking.
am disappointed at your failure
to recognize and recommend the
great discovery Of Drs. Gautier and
OK Of France-forefoot walking. 1t
leaves you open to the charge OF
ignoring it because it did not orig
mate with yourself. which is in
total contradiction OF the opinion
have had Of you for years. wrote
you regarding this two months ago.
C. A. r.
Answer-It is . fine exercise for
most persons who sit too much, but
l cannot recommend it for indis-
criminate use by persons over IS
years Of age. 1t is true one man
can expend more energy in just
forefoot or toe walking about the
house or once or street in five
minutes than one will ordinarily
expend in walking a mile which
takes perhaps 20 or more minutes.
But the mile walk is infinitely bet
ter general exercise for health.

Kindly inform me what should be
the maximum daily quantity Of pro-
TEN in the diet OF a man aged Sc
who has low grade chronic nephri-
tbs. Also whether this protein is
better restricted to vegetable
sources or animal or both. E. B.
Answer - Aside from theoretical
and unfounded ideas there is no
reason for restricting the protein
in the diet. The amount of protein
; has no relation with the presence
Of albumin in the urine of one with
Bright's disease, if that is your
thought. The patients own physi-
clan is in position to know about
what the diet should be. I think
1t is we'll to include both animal
and vegetable food in the diet OF
one with chronic nephritis.
Race Identification.
Can you inform me whether there
| is any known test or blood reaction
! whereby q physician or pathologist
can determine whether there is a
strain or negro blood in a given in
dividual? Has any test been dis
covered whereby an expert can de-
ftermine whether given specimen
Of blood or blood stain is from
white or negro or monaghan race
| It seems to me that such tests, II
known. should be of extreme i'm
portance in many ways.
