NEW WEAPON AGAINST CRIME

Two men had been arrested while
trying to sell 270 ounces Of sponge
platinum valued at 500 an ounce.
1t was found that all the precious
metal reported missing by govern
ment and industrial laboratories did
not equal this amount 1t was
known, however, that the platinum
in possession of the various plants
and bureaus varied in composition,
some stocks containing traces of irl-
dunn, and some palladium, or other
rare elements. Inventories of known
stocks were Immediately requested,
and the confscated lots we're check
ed against these returns. With the
information thus gained as a founda-
ton, the stolen platinum was traced
to its two sources. BY replacing the
distracted metal with a mixture of
mercury and moist earth, the cul-
prits had been able to prevent de-
lection of the gradually diminish
ing stores.

1t has been found that two families
out of three who are classed as poor
owe their condition to bad habits of
spending rather than actual lack of
money. 1t is almost as important
therefore that we learn how to spend
money as to make it. 1t has been said
that even the great World war would
have been worth all it cost if it had
only taught us as nation how to be
economical, says Boys Life. A great
educational movement is on foot to
teach boys and girls even in the early
grades of the schools how to spend
money inteligently. One of the first
Steps is to learn to keep a budget of
expenses, no matter how small they
may seem. With such a foundation a
boy begins life with an excellent start
in the right direction.

DON'T HANDICAP YOUR CHILD.

The picture of inferiority which
so many men and women carry in
their minds, which has such a dis
astrous effect on their lives, is often
the result of early influences. Faults
and deficiencies impressed upon the
plastic child mind in time become
deep seated convictions which can
not easily be eradicated. There are
multitudes of people today living
little, narrow, limited lives, plod-
ding along in mediocrity, who
might be doing sublime things in
the world but for the pinched, mar
row opinion of themselves which
was instilled into their young minds
by parents or teachers.
1t is a>crime for parents or teach
ers to make children feel that they
are inferior; to tell them that they
are dull or stupid that they are not
as bright as others Of their age;
that they will never amount to any
thing. Every child should be
trained to expect success and it
should be emphasized that there are
almost limitless possibilities in him.
