Italy to the Rescue.

Visiting a school is doubtful pleas ure. But the woman had promised to call for friend who is known as a rocky" teacher. She waited until al- most closing time before entering the school red brick, lumpy sort of building. not specially attractive. It looked as If she had come too soon. All eyes soon focused on her instead of on the busy little teacher. The word "trio" was being explained to the children and volunteers were asked to stand and use the word in a sentence. And no one need expect to go home until the word was fully ex- plained.
 Little R. T. coaxed, Come now, tell me just one little story with trio in It."
 Timidly. swarthy little Giuseppe raised his hand. His naturally happy face was strained in his effort to help. Then flashed bright smile at the woman and shouted cheerfully:
 "It is nearly trio clock."-New York Sun.

Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient

Psychiatrists have long recognized the tendency among mental deficients towards criminality. It appears that this tendency is now being discovered and exploited by the criminal classes themselves. At a recent meeting of the Societe Clinique de Medicine Men tale. reports the London Lancet, Drs. Marcel Briand and Borel presented a boy. aged fourteen, who had on two occasions been used as a tool of a professional thief. It is clear that if this practice is at all widespread many mentally deficient children with out criminal tendencies in the first place may very soon acquire them. These children, incapable of moral Judgment, as they often are, should be specially protected by society, which in defending them will at the same time be protecting its own interests.

In the bull pen" Is the occasion OF
the starting of the twenty-fifth open

Every race track opening has its
army OF touts. It's railbirds, its jock.

boasts it's color in the attendant

Attracts Caddies.
Every big golfing tournament at.
tracts professional caddies. Ten days
ago as far South as Birmingham
and as far West as Chicago the cad
dies began their pilgrimage. Yester-
day the vanguard arrived from Kan
sas City, Chicago. Birmingham, New
York, Pittsburgh and st. Louis. They
walked right in and took charge.
Columbia, Chevy Chase, Bannock-
burn and Kirkside caddies got sore.
They argued q bit. Then a fight
started. Then several fights. Then
the riot began until a lot of strong
arm stuff was necessary.

caddying for Jock Hutchinson, watch

OF New York. blow right in town. out
to Columbia, through the riot, and
up to Jock the Hutch. Horgan grab
bed Hutch's bag. He knew some
thing.
Now Horsan is one of those inter
esting golf figures who for twenty
eight years has failed signally to APP
pear In the dispatches. Twenty-eight
years ago at Philadelphia Horgan took
a bag and started In woman's tour
nament.
CaddIed for Cracks.
He caddied for Duncan and Ray on
their extended tour last year He
has visited every important tourna-
ment in the country for years and
years. He has toted the bag of almost
every prominent golfer in the history
OF the game In the past quarter of
a century.
Horgan is forty-three years old.
and, with his hat TANNED down over
his eyes, looks nineteen or twenty.
One doesn't associate age with q
caddy, and yet Morgan has hiked over
hill and dale for the past twenty-eight
years.
We're tired" says Horgan after
Jock Hutchinson had completed his
second round. We're played out. We
showed at Pelham, Montclair, every
day for the past eight days. thirty
six holes Of exhibitions every day. We
need a rest"
And later Jock Hutchinson, British
open champion. declared he would
lay off. ''I'll play no golf on Mon
day. I'm fair dead" he said. i've
played every day, mind you, since
I stepped off the boatA Ten days
without exercise. and then jumpin
Into eight days OF exhibitions Is too
much. I weigh only 1885, I've lost
just nineteen pounds since took the
boat for England"
All of which will give the general
impression that Mr.. Joseph Morgan,
the forty.three-year-old caddy who
turned up to grab Jock Hutchison's
bag. knows a thing or two about
physical condition as we'll as golf.
