His Greatest Exploit.
Ryans greatest exploit was his sem

which, with his resultant expulsion
from the stock exchange, is held by
his friends to have been directly re-

Ryan and his associates arc alleged

stock until it had reached 1891 a share

was suspended and an indefinite mora

would be no calls for delivery of

Ryan, the stock was stricken from the

CAUSES OF CRIME.

Police chiefs gathered in their annual convention,
disagree 70 the causes OF crime and give every
thing from women to prohibition the reasons for
violations Of the rules laid down by society for its
protection. Most Of them give ignorance as the
chief factor
More important than their answers is the fact
that these leaders OF the police forces Of the nation
even ask the question as to the cause Of crime.
Heretofore their conventions have been largely
confined 10 a discussion of the best methods Of
catching Originals, identify them by finger
prints how to punish them after they have been
taught and sentenced.
It is something OF ster forward when these men
even suggest that there may be a for crime.
,ust as there is a cause of yellow fever small
pox other diseases.
AS long as doctors confined their discussions. as
they did not many years ago. the treatment OF
diseases, little progress towards health made.
II was only when they tried to find what caused
illness that scientists really accomplished much.
When they discovered that the dread scourge of
yellow fever was traceable to the mosquito, it be-
came easy TO stamp out devastating disease by
eliminating the MOSQUITO.
The reasons assigned by the police chiefs causes
OF crime are interesting-because dozen years from
row they will he laughable and as ridiculous as a
doctor would be who might suggest that yellow
ever came from a surplus Of blood and prescribe
the ancient process of bleeding as a cure.
That genius OF sieuths who aseribed crime 10
woman. will revise his opinions He is misled
by appearances and argues that because men, mad
dened by desires for bad women steal and rob and
sometimes murder in order to possess her favor
that she is the cause OF crime.
He overIoOks the fact that somewhere in tho mind
cf such criminal j the unrestrained impulse Of
selhshness kink Of brain that recognizes no rights
save his own desires TIE man who steals for
woman would steal buy automobile. if his
fancy happened 20 turn in that direction
The MN who gave prohibition as a cause and
argued that the influx OF poisonous drinks sent men
crazy overlooked the biz fact that the man was
already potentially criminal who needed or desired
such intoxicants.
There Is half truth in the suggestion OF ignor-
snce for that is such inclusive term that it may
mean the half developed brain. the mind which
fails to recognize right and justice which is in
capable OF rising above brute appetite.
Some day these police chiefs will turn the matter
over to doctors and their clinics Will show that in
more than IS percent OF crimes the perpetrator is
by inheritance or acquisition decayed by the So
called social diseases The same record held true OF
the Stacker. The big drive crime will come when
this truth IS recognized and the work OF the Bureau
OF Hygiene is amplihed.

Unless the child is a glutton, he
gives more thought to the play
ground than he does 20 the food he
must have in order to thrive as
young animal should thrive. There
is need of supervision at this hour
so that the child is taught food
values. the necessity for thorough
mastication, and reasons governing
the choice and preparation Of food.
There can be no better method for
the dissemination of health educa-
ton in foods and certainly no better
way 10 protect the child's health.
Nut sundaes, candy, "all-day suck
ers" and ice cream cones are not
proper substitutes for real food. The
children should be encouraged TO
eat for their growth and good
health.
Once more I declaim against the

child without undermining his
health. It is too bad TO have these
children get their first lessons in
worry in this manner if there can
be discovered a way of avoiding

tite. disturbed digestion. loss of
sleep, lowered resistance and readi-
ness for germ invasion are some Of
the evils Of the examination system.
The physical effects OF the hurried
lunch period and OF the examination
time are not so apparent to the
teacher as they are to the observant
parent and to the family physician.
Personally. am convinced the
school authorities should give seri-
Gus thought TO these suggestions.

Color of South
Sea Life Dimming

Honolulu, T. H.--Tha glamer, ro-
nance and adventure of the South Seas
are disappearing before the spread of
modern methods of industry, education
and living, according to ]. F. G. Stokes,
ethnologist attached to the Bishop Mu-
scum here, who has returned from a
two-year tour of the Austral islands in
connection with the museums endeavor
to establish the origin of the Polyne-
sian race.
Even Rapa, the pin-dot island which
became famous as a place where the
men were fed by women and lolled
around listlessly on stretch of coral
strand under the shade giving palm
trees, is beginning to show the marks
of civilization, despite the fact that the
ratio of inhabitants continues to ap-
proximate four women to one man,
Stokes said.
There are only % taxpayers-men
between the ages of 81 and 60-on the
island. The rest of the 236 inhabitants
are women, young boys and old men.
"All Of the work, except the fishing,
is done by the women, who are comedy,
sturdy, exceedingly tall, muscular and
hospitable," Stokes said. "The women
who first drew attention to Rapa thru
stories that the women fed the men,
apparently visited the island during q
festival, when the women fed the men
lin fun The women, however, do per-
form ell agricultural work.
despite the heavy ratio of women to
men, no man has more than one official
wife. The women are none too willing
to marry the men of Rapa, as they be-
come little more than slaves once they
are married. They have no hold or
control over their husbands and if they
attempt to enjoy the same privileges
as their husbands, they are liable to
receive a severe beating. The inhabit-
ants of Rapa ARE extremely hospitable
to white man."
