Charles r. Weeks. but he Is too deeply
chagrined by the facility with which the
worst criminals are able to secure their
release through the Parole Board. 1t IS
the feeling of my neighbors. and / have
so informed Gov. Miller. that we have
greater cause for fsar of the Parole
Board than we have of the thugs We
can kill the thugs and are prepared to
do so. but we cannot apply the same
remedy to the Parole Board.
I'VE have Joined in retaining counsel,
who is now preparing himself to ad-
wise us as to what remedy we have
against this body of politicians which
has become a most serious menace to
the community.
Finds Feeling Growing.
IL entertain sentiments of the highest
regard and respect for Gov. Miller and
am hoping to have the privilege OF
voting for him for n higher office In
the future, but In spite of protests moth
Ing seems to have been done TO curtail
the activities of this dangerous board,
and 1 am informed and believe that
this black brute Boldly who wantonly
killed two valuable officers while In the
discharge of their duty. was out under
parole. Among my wide circle Of ac-
quaintances the feeling against the
Parole Board is growing In bitterness,
and all agree that in many of these
cases they are directly responsible tor
the crimes committed.
I'm THE New YORK HERALD of Oc-
tober 27 there was a graphic account
OF that archcriminal Ackron, who had
been pursuing his nefarious ways for
more than forty years and had served
dozen or more terms in Jail. Judge
Dixie was amply justified in giving him
a life sentence, but he, too, was re-
leased by the Parole Board and within
twenty-four hours broke into and robbed
a house in Brooklyn. He evaded the
police, but within two weeks was over
heard by detectives on Broadway con-
spring to come to my vicinity and rob
my neighbors again. We have sent a
vigorous protest to Gov. Miller and he
has replied sympathetically and most
courteously, assuring us of protection.
But We are very skeptical of any pro-
lection. unless and until we shall have
been safeguarded from the dangerous
activities of the Parole Board"
Commodore Hastings's mention OF
Boldly might imply that the negro had
been paroied by the State board against
which he AID his neighbors complain.
The fact is. Boldly was paroled by the
Parole Commission, municipal body
solely. winch deals with offenders SEN
fenced to prisons within Greater New
York. The chairman of the commits
sion Is Bertram de n. Cruger. The sec
retary of the commission said yesterday
that II has frightened its attitude toward
all offenders. raising the number or
marks which must be earned by a
sentenced offender to the point where
eighteen months must now be served
instead of a year.

Ancient Chinese Fable.

In a story in the Saturday Evening
Post by Harry Leon Wilson, one OF
his characters relates the following
Chinese fable: about 100 years
since. Il politician named Su Tai was
one day advising the King of Chao
to put an end to his ceaseless hos
tilities against the Yen State. This
morning. said he, when crossing the
river I saw a mussel open its shell
to basll in the sun. At once the bird
called an oyster catcher thrust in mis-
bill to eat the mussel, but the latter
closed his shell and held the bird
fast If it doesn't rain today or to-
morrow said the oyster catcher, there
will be a dead mussel' And if you
do not get out of this by today or to-
morrow replied the mussel, there
will be a dead oyster catcher Mean
while mp came a fisherman and carried
off both of them"

Appeal to Hotel Guests.

One New York hotel has explained
why it is forced to ask incoming
guests to wait until evening for a
room even though. they have tele-
graphed ahead for reservations. It. is
because other guests persist in hang
ing on to their rooms until just before
they rush off for their trains for
home. A business man who is leav-
ing in the. evening packs his baggage
in the morning when he goes out to
clean up his odds and ends of bust
ness, comes back in the evening, grabs
his baggage, pays his bill, and dashes
for a taxi. Now this hotel in the in
terest of efficiency and the newcom-
ers. is asking its guests who plan TO
leave during the day to pack their
baggage and check it, appealing to
their sense of fair play to help out the
other fellOw.-New York Evening Post

FINDS FINLAND A FARMLAND
American Traveller Has Nothing but
Praise for the People of the
Northern Country.

In Petrograd, Arthur Ruhl relates in
New Masters of the Baltic" he had
handed over his bag and Overcoat to
be checked. The functionary in charge
smeared a great label covered with
uncanny paste on his suitcase, and
then proceeded to duplicate the oper-
alton by marking his coat in the same
way. Dumfounded at his protest
against sticking so much soviet CRIME
on his good American clothes, the old
gentleman finally agreed to stick the
label on the hook.
Thirty miles out from PetrOgrad you

stepped into a station restaurant, de-
posted a small coin in an autOmat,
turned the crank, and out came the
best of coffee with cream and sugar
on a neat metal tray. His luggage
was cared for as it would be in the
best American hotels. Instead of be-
.urred Russians, there were dapper

ECLlPSED EVERY THREE DAYS
Astronomers Have Just Discovered
Why the Star "AlgoP' Disappears
at Regular Intervals.

There is a star that winks every
three days. Algol is its name, mean
ing the Demon Star" by which name
it was known to the ancient Arabs. 1t
was visible in July.
Ordinarily, it is quite a bright star,
but at intervals Of every three days
it slowly sinks almost out of sight,
and then just as slowly brightens
again. The process takes about nine
hours to complete.
Why it winks was for a long time
profound mystery. At last some one
discovered that a dark, or nearly dark,
star regularly passed in front of it
and partially eclipsed it, as the moon
sometimes does the sun.
Neither a telescope nor an opera
glass is needed to see these nine-hour
winks of Algol, although the writer
has found that an opera glass is an
advantage If the night is rather hay.
1t was one of the most wonderfully
impressive sights to be seen in the
sky.
No one knows how the star that
makes AlgOl wink has come to be so
dark. 1t may be Il dead or dying sun.
It approaches our own sun in size but
AlgoI itself is much larger.

LESLIE NJ. SHAW ON THRIFT.
Need for Reforms Printed by Former
Treasury Head

Some outspoken observations on the
youth of today were made by Leslie NJ
Shaw, former secretary OF the treasury
under Roosevelt, a native of Vermont.
and now in his 74th year Of life. in a re
cent talk before the Marquette club in
the Hotel Plaza in New ork
- his seems to be y generation Of
get-m0res,' - said Mr.. Shaw. THE
question that seems uppeTmost in Young
people S minds nowadays Is, how can /
get more money, how can I find a short
cut 10 wealth. If more than the legltl-
mate fee for a service or profit from an
undertaking Is to be obtained, they are
all for it. What we need to teach the
younger generation Is how to put more
into life, not how to get more out of it,.
- ct the idea of thrift seems furthest
from their minds. The wholse senti-
mcnt among young people Is not to ac-
cumulate savings, and thrift Is cOusid-
cred stlngincsa. There is only one m
tallible rule for success, and that is
can a man live within his income
\ man who spends all of his income
for living expenses Il never going to
succeed. -
The evils of a paternalistic central
government was another tendency of the
"reseut day seen liy Mr. Shaw.

give old age pensions. he went on.

ton OF having our federal government

taken charity, instead of leaving "a free
rein to individual Initiative and the on
TortunIty of every man to carve out his
own destiny. Do YOU want to hold by

MEASURING HEIGHT OF CLOUDS
New Plan to Help Airmen ON Night
.-sfo

New Plan to Help AIrmen ON Night
Service
A method Of finding the height of the
clouds for the information Of night fly
ing airmen Is to be tried at the London
Air station, Croydon 1t consists pri-
marily of a powerful searchlight throw
ing a vertical beam on the clouds and a
special designed theodolite through
which to observe the beam.
The searchlight and theodolite are set
up a measured distance apart. The theo-
the angle at which its telescope is point
on a special scale 1t is set so that the
point where the searcltlight beam enters
the clouds can be seen in the center of
the telescope The angle is then read,
and, the distance between searchIight
and thcodolite being known, it IS a sim
pie mathematical problem, to calculate
the height OF the clouds.
The apparatus is self-contalned and
portable. 4 twin cylinder petrol engine,
with electric dynamo, switchboard, pc
troll and oil tanks attached. provides the
electricity for the seaFchllght. and the
whole apparatus can be easily carried
by two men. Both the theodolto and
the searchlight which throws a beam
of 100000 candlepower, are mounted on
folding tripod.
1t Is proposed, as soon as tests are
satisfactorily completed. 10 install sets
OF apparatus at various wireless sta
tons along the alrwaV, SO that a pilot
of q night express can while in the air
be accurately Informed of the height of
the clouds on each portion of his route
as he approaches it.-London Times.
