BIRDS NERVOUSNESS
HELPs SEE INSECT FREY

The vivacious and seemingly ner-
vous blackbirds and kingbirds who
peer and dart their heads are NOT
just afflicted with nervousness. but
they have q reason for their quick
motions. According to DR.. Joseph
Grinnell, Of the Vertebrate Museum
at Berkeley. Cal. who spoke at the
Biological Society meeting Saturday
night. these birds are able TO see
their insect prey more easily be-
cause OF the quick side-to-sids mo-
tion OF their heads.

 WASHINGTON

including many medical and social experts, fear passage of the bill right now would result in it being placed in charge of Brigadier General Saw yer or some one whom he would se- lect.
 The relationship between Dr. Saw yer and the medical fraternity is- to say the least-strained. Men high in medical circles. both in the gov ernment and out, resent the action of Harding in placing Sawyer in an advisory capacity at the head of all governmental medical and welfare work
 Tt was all right" one eminent physician recently said in discussing the Sawyer appointment. flor the president to name Sawyer as his per sonal physician. He had the right to name any one he chose for that personal relationship. But. with all due respect to Sawyer, medical men generally do not feel his experience or qualifications fit him for the au- thority the president has handed him.
 A new book was on President Hard ing's desk last week-the only book there, among stacks of correspond ence, commissions and official pap CTS. In big letters across the front of the cover were the words: AR TBMUS WARD" Even presidents, it seems, like re- !, taxation in their reading. President 1 Wilson read detective stories when tired. Harding apparently prefers native American humor. 1
 Three months of service in the cabinet have put more gray hairs in Herbert Hoover's head than three years of feeding Europe's starving babies.
 Perhaps it just happens that Hoov- or has reached the time for the white hairs to appear. But there is no dis counting the fact that they have been gathering rapidly over his temples the last three months.

 WASHINGTON May 21.-Positive benefits to the worlds economic and commercial standing already are be- ing felt as a result of Germany ac- cepting the reparation demands of the allies, according to Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
 If Germany now shows readiness to carry out in good faith the pledge she has made. Hoover believes, we may lock forward to a period of rapid readjustment.
 Tine first reflex of the German ac- ceptance was an improvement in Flu ropean exchange rates. Translated nto conditions of commerce, the sta bilizing of European exchange means that the prices of European goods in the American market go up and the prices of American goods in Euro pean markets go down.
 The benefit to America comes through the steadying effect on world commerce generally and the in IO lhC diiACS Ol SCi Se'AAA HI ome with which to purchase.
 The administration will watch with interest the pull-and-haul of emotions of erstwhile pro-Germans when the German reparaticn bonds are put on ale in this country.
 Will they buy, or won't they?
 For the purchase of reparation bonds, while made directly from Gel many, will be for the benefit of the allies. Germany will sign the. bond the allies will get the cash.

YOUTH COMMITS TODAY'S CRIME,
 SAYS WARDEN

The young man is the person who is committing the crimes in every sec tion of the country. There is some thing wrong with the social side of our government and the communities. or this would mot prevail; and some thing must be done by the people to find out what is wrong.
 I am in favor of establishing wei fare bureaus in every city and have every boy, when he leaves school, and every boy coming into the city. reg ister there. Then have a study made of his fitness and what he cares to do.
 The prisoner in the penitentiary to- morrow is the boy who is at large to- day. No one knows how soon he may be criminal. Society should be made to see this in it's true light and steps should be taken to rectify it.
 There should be laws that the fam lilies could be taken care of by the state, when men are sent to penal in- stitutions. Men worry about their families and how they are progressing while they are serving their sen tences. Very often the families are the real sufferers.
 The case of d prisoner is not set tied when a man enters the peniten- tiary. It is settled, as, far as the law is concerned, but the real question arises when the man is released and [ faces critical world.
 ' Insulting pride and self-respect are the most important factors in redemp. tion, whether within or without a prison.

You nice. otedient boy!' Edith repeated.
 My ankle was l,marting fearfully, md tried to assure her that had not planned my fall in order to be able to sit with her and watch my wife and George skate.
 Edith requested me to inform the marines, who are known to be cred ulous, of that fact.
 'I3ut my ankle really hurts" l complained. T can hardly touch my foot to tIe floor"
 T admit you overdid u trifle," she smiled. "Of course. you, didn't want to take any chances. Unless it were pretty bad fall they might in- s:st upon your getting up and trying to skate again, though goodness knows you did look ridiculous enough"
 You don't seem able to realize that there is such thing b ;t coin- cidence Just because you asked me to pretend to fall you think that I -eally did fall on purpose" S.

BY P. E. THOMAS, Warden, Ohio Penitentiary


 Prison reform primarily means the studying and dealing with prisoners individually. Each prisoner should be considered as separate case and coa- sidered collectively only as grouping is made necessary in the functioning of the prison.
 I am firm believer in the classi- fication of prisoners. I am getting better results by doing that and not allowing the prisoner who is redeem able to associate with the hardened criminal, who will likely never be any different.
 There should be some form of rec reation that will give the prisoners something to look forward to and of such nature as to produce better thoughts.
 government must be taught, but individually and not collectively. The prisoner must be taught respect for regulations, laws and authority or else he is unfit to take his place again in society.
 Prisoners should be compelled to work. It is disgrace to have an idle house in any penal institution. We have factories in which each article of clothing worn by the inmates is made. These products are alp mad, from the raw mtaerial. I am also a firm believer in tho honor system. It has produced goot
 results here. The idea is to keel as much temptation out of the way o 1, the prisoner as possible.
Bisbee daily review., 1921-05-22

So does every husband. But dc you tell the whole truth? Did you about that telephone call. for tinstance?"
 I was on the point of making some reply when Edith went on:
 But don't flatter yourself. Don't think that asked you to sit here because I'm so fond of your company for I'm sot. If you must know it."
 T mustn't"
 "You are something of bore. But I wanted you to sit here so that I could discuss some business matters with you" That's flattering enough in it's way"
 Nonsense. The point is that I had talk with my father last night. He was very fayorably impressed by you, though dare say he didn't give any hint of it to you"
 He didn't"
 That's his way. Right now, as I told you. he is looking for someone to help him put his new motion pic IuIc llldCllIt Oll lne ilbil h6l- uc position he has in mind is that of sales manager. The salary will be- well, substantial"
 That's gratifying
 ''He is considering you very seri ously There is only enc other mar he has in view, but the other has some evident disqualifications"
 Well, I certainly would be glad tt get the position"
