GAVE HIM DRASTIC LESSON
Stern Methods in Dealing With
Maynard Young Son.

A new method of correcting the
youth who had started to go astray
was tried out the other afternoon by
big business man. He had caught
his fifteen-year-old son pilfering arti-
Giles from the house, and the boy had
also been in trouble In the private
school he was attending.
The father confided with a personal
friend, high official Of the police de.
partment.
Bring your son down to my office
In headquarters at FIVE o'clock this af-
terno0n and when l get through with
him l don't think he will trouble you
again." said the policeman.
AT five O'Clock father and son were
on hand. They were then taken to the
rOgues' gallery, finger print and cell
rooms, where the boy was told what
would befall him eventually II he did
not mend his ways. After ten minutes
in a cell and a lecture before half a
dozen detectives who were about, the
boy was taken home, with the parting
information from the police and his
father that the next time he did any
thing wrong he would land down In
Center street, to go through all the
things that befall criminals, and that
1t would be in earnest the next time.
The boy indicated he was cured

Heavy Cost of Sickness.

Sickness causes an annual loss of
more than 100000 to New York state
factory workers, investigation under
taken during the last half Of 1919 by
the Associated Industries Of New York
shows. More than 40 manufacturers
and about 1900 workers were in
cluded.
Cases of sickness lasting from three
days to six months, numbered S,761
for one-half year, amounting to an
average of ia per thousand en-
ployees, or a monthly average of 10
per thousand. Only 10 per cent Of
the cases were of more than three
weeks duration; go per cent lasted
from three to six days. Nearly 30
per cent of the total number Of days
lost was involved in cases lasting
more than fourteen days, and 10 per
cent more than two months.
The total loss of working time was
S5,665 days, and the loss Of wages
1921 ,S75. The average loss was ap-
proximately ten days time and
$36.73.

RULES OF THE ROAD.

Road rules are the result of ex-
perience. They are intended to es-
tablish safety and advance traffic.
The reasons The traffic cop hats
you are sevcral. Your safety is in
yolved. Mt only yours, but that of
hundreds Il others. If you run by,
you are. or should be, olac.lcd ard
fined. That's because. large num-
Der of pers ons besides yourself have
rights on ihe road.
Just so, my boy, with the r1les Of
the long road you must travel until
you wear out or go to the junk pile
through accident or misfortune
Those rules of this long road haven't
been made in a minute. They have
grown. They are the result of ex-
perience. Most of them were born
out of calamity just as the road rules
at the street corners came about
through injuries and deaths and de-
struction of property. Every one
Of those rules of conduct, road rules
of life, was paid for by bitter exper-
fence. The moral rules are guide
posts showing the best and safest
route.
Drive by the signs, kid, drive by
the signs. Observe the rules of the
road. Obey the signals of the man in
front. Signal the one behind. Traffic
experience has been 1000 genera
lions working out those traffic rules
on the big highway.
You may think it is up to you to
SHOW speed" Nothing to it. The
only applause you will. get is from
the scorcher. The general traffic will
remark, THAT fool will kill himself
and somebody else" fought to be
pinched." The worst of 1t is that
the general prediction comes true.
You'll find that you'll get farther
on the journey by observing the rules
of the road. You'll have more mile
age and more friends. You'll keep
the repute of a sensible and law
abiding citizen.
The fellow that insists on break
ing the moral road rules goes in the
ditch. Sometimes folks are sorry
for him. Usually they forget him
and mention as they go by the place
"That's where Soandso went into the
ditch" "Kill him?" mo, not
quite, but left his cripple" There
are many moral and business Grip
pies crawling about because they in
sisted on making their own road
rules.

ON BORDER LINE OF SANITY
Danger Signals Which, II Needed In
Time, May Save the Afflicted
From Insane Asylum.

The history of most cases of insan-
ity can be traced back through pro-
gressive series of symptoms to an
early day when the patient was looked
upon as normal except for some
trifiing popularity. In the Indianapo-
lis Medical Journal, DIR. Max A. Bahr
describes some of the peculiarities
which in certain temperaments may
combine with a train of circumstances
to bring their possessor If not to the
insane asylum at least to the border
land of insanity.
Self-depreciation, conceit, self-pity,
exaggerated tendency to shun society,
selfishness, suspiciousness and jeal-
ousy, exaggerated conscientiousness
and scrupulousness, which In their
normal development are virtues but In
their exaggerated form make of their
possessor an unsocial person are all
characteristics of this kind. Moodi-
ness and irritability, loneliness and
oversensitiveness also fall into this
class.
Doctor Bahr considers that IL recog-
nized early enough all Of these can be
prevented from progressing to insan-
ity. But early treatment is necessary.

BELL MADE TOO MUCH NOISE
Invention Of the Telephone Evidently
Was Not by Any Means a
Quiet Affair.

The landlady couldn't stand it any
longer, and the dodgers threatened to
leave unless the racket stopped.
Alexander Graham Bell was the
cause Of the trouble. He had rugged
up a contraption in his bedroom and
a duplicate in the room of his accom-
plice, Thomas A. Watson. wire went
out of the window and connected the
two machines.
These two machines, according to
young Bell. were first models of a
revolutionary Invention, the telephone.
II don't care what it is" said the
landlady, "but If you two boys don't
stop yelling your heads of, into those
boxes, you'll have to pack your trunks
and get out"
This episode Of the angry landlady
happened years ago in cheap lodging
house in Boston.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany offered Bell 100000 for all his
patents. Bell. with vision, realized
that he had a fortune within grasp
and rejected the offer. He and Wat
son went around the country, deliver
ing lectures, and with the proceeds
financed themselves.
Today there is telephone to every
nine Americans and more than "a
100000 miles of wire in the Bell tele.
phone lines.

CUT UP FAMOUS SAPPHIRE
Only Fragments Remain Of Magnifi-
cent Stone That Was Worth
Several Million Francs.

II is q strange story, that Of the
Branicki sapphire, which M. Lacom-
blez, examining magistrate. Is at
present investigating. This precious
stone, known as 'The King Of Sap
phires," belonged to the Branickl fam
lily; II was bought at Frankfort in
1910, weighed POI carats, is said to
have been worth several million
francs, and was taken from the hip
pocket Of Count Xavier Branicki at
Warsaw In July, 1918, during the Ger
man occupation.
The count found himself In Paris
recently, and knowing that there Is
an important market for precious
stones In the city he thought he would
ask the police to make inquiries about
his sapphire. The police inspectors
found in possession of dealer In
precious stones not the sapphire but
portions Of 1t. The dealer told how a
few months ago he bought the sap
pnire for $4,000 francs from a Llthu-
anian dealer established near Kovno,
whom he knew to be an honest man.
He was aware that the stone had
figured in the exhibition In Vienna 10
1867 and in the Paris exhibition In
1878, and realizing that IT would be
difficult to get rid of 1t he had 1t cut
into fragments, some Of which were
utilized In rings and necklaces. OF
the POI carats only 1856 carats remain.
