PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK
SocioIooist Says the Newspapers Make Life Hard for Criminals of
 Every Description.

Blame the newspapers for making the role of the criminal harder today than it was twenty or thirty years ago." said NJ. c. Elmer of the sociolo- gy department, University of NtinnesO- ta, according to the Minneapolis News.
 "The swindler of a few years rack had a downy feather bed to lie on compared to followers of his footsteps today" he continued. "In those days, the same gang would work skin game in one town a week, and then move to the next stop and do the same thing the following, week. Not now, how ever The newspaper is the barrier. If a clever Swindle is worked in Mex icO or Honolulu the news is on the wires at once, and the whole world knows it in a couple of hours, and the little game is killed"
 Contrary to general opinion, crime is not any greater in proportion to population today than twenty years ago, according to MT. Elmer. It is just that the number Ofscrfninals has increased with the growth of popula- ton, he said.
 MT. Elmer exploded another popular fancy when he said that he believes that criminals are not any bolder today than in years past. .t.
 "It is the-newspapers again." he said ''The big jobs are given wide publicity and seem larger in the public mind than those of the past. But it isn't so. The James boys, the. Youngers' and the Daltons had just as much nerve and put over jobs in their days just as big as anything you read about in the papers today"

HORSES BRAVE. UNDER FIRE
Animals Displayed Remarkable Cool ness Even When Subjected to the
 Enemy's Heaviest Barrage. z

The noble horse is a very calm anil maj under stormy or dangerous cir cumstances. A remarkable example of the coolness displayed by horses amid the din of war was shown at the front in France, and the soldiers who had the opportunity to personally observe the attitude of the faithful horse while under shell-fire can realize what an indispensable role was played in the World war by our good old do- nestle friends, Joseph R Schadel writes in Our Dumb Animals. .
 While serving on the front in France I was more than once astOnished and impressed by the actions of horses when the shells began to burst and the deadly gas spread it's fatal wings over the field of battle. One night near Chateau-Thierry, heavy barfage be- gan to fall in our vicinity, and the horses, which were also open to the danger did not scatter or run. In- stead, three of them, following the example of the soldiers, lay down promptly and waited until the smelling was over. Only one of them was killed, and that poor fellow had remained standing.
 Another time, while moving along road that was under enemy observa- tion, the shells started to burst on both sides of our column. But the good old horses. plodded son; the great7 est bravery was. shown, and, forum ately, none was lost. In time, hope, there will be more space allotted in history to the excellent part which horses played in the late war Only the highest praise would be their just dues

afraid of Bates groans and lights. There never was a haunted house, and there never can be. I'll go there tonight"
 There was a chorus of protest, and even COrdelfa saw the absurdity of the suggestion. But she was not to be so easily turned from her position.
 Well of course I couldn't stay all night" she amended. Mother would have a fit-but will do this-Tll go up to the house now and stay till midnight Mother won't be in from the club till after then and I can prove that I'm right just as well in two hours as all night. Now don't try to dissuade me, for I've made up my mind, Pm going, and what's more, 1 don't want any of you to fol low me and put up crazy joke by making a lot of noises. Pm going up to the house, and I'm going tO stay there till hear the village clock strike twelve. It isn't far off and I'll be perfectly safe. l just want to show you how foolish you are to be- lieve in ghosts and all that rot. Pm going nOw-goOd-night! And before anyone could protest she was out of the room. Looking out of the win dow they could see her in the early moonlight walking rapidly toward the path "that led to the haunted house, with a shawl which she had caught up in her progress through the hall thrown over her head. The company returned to their seats by the fire a little sObered by the incident.
 q think GOrdelia's very foolish to ush off like that" said Betty Sterne, pretty blond girl who was one of the most popular of the guests. "She might meet a tramp or a dog or any thing. Don't you think some one might go after herr"
 "Whoever went after her would run an awful risk of being eaten alive. re torted Charles West, Betty's suitor of :, the moment. "Cordelia's made up her mind, and nothing we could do would change it. It's after ten now. any way-she's only got about an hour and three-quarters. And, of course. mo- bNdy thinks for minute that there really is anything wrong with the house. COrdeIia got one of her crazy impulses, ahd you know there's no doing anything with her till the mood passes. Let her go if she wants to. She'll come back about midnight and tell us all about 1t and everybody will be happy. ...
 So the crowd continued it's chatter, apparently forgetful of the obstinate COrdelia. But one man was moody and silent. This was Jimmy West lake. He did not like the idea of Cor delia's being out alone, even though the ruined house was on her own property and there was nothing to be apprehended from tramps or other providers of the night. His sOlicitude was not entirely based on disinterest- edness; Cordelia had long ago en- tangled him in the meshes of her at- tractiveness, but he was by nature a silent man, who did not show well in the company of the more brilliant, if shallOwer, group that surrounded Cor della. So he had never spoken. .
 As the hour wore on toward half past eleven. Jimmy's uneasiness in- creased Finally he could bear it no longer. and with a word of excuse about going out to the garage to see about something he had forgotten to do to his. car, he slipped from the

HIS PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL
Wise Willie, Forbidden Trip to Cool River, Found Substitution That
 Answered the Purpose.

On certain occasions Willie takes his mothers instructions literally, while other times he doesn't. When Willie's mother told him that she did not want him to leave the building all afternoon because he had disobeyed her by going swimming in the river on the day previous, Willie carried out his mothers instructions to the letter. He did not leave the building all afternoon. When Willie's mother arrived home from her shopping tour late in the day, however, she was sur prised to find that her sons hair was wet.
 "I hope you didn't disobey me and go in the river again" said his mother
 Nope, ' Willie replied.
 Then how did you get your halt wet?" his mother asked.
 Swimming" Willie replied.
 "Swimming?" gasped his mother q told you not to leave this building Now you will go to bed without any supper"
 q didn't leave the building" Willie insisted.
 "How could you go swimming without leaving the buildingF saic his mother. "There's no place to swim in this apartment house.
 "Ain't there. though?" asked the youngster. Did you ever try fthe. wa ter tank on the roof?'-New York Sun.

HORSES ABLE TO TELL TIME
steeds Hired by the Hour Good Judges of Distance, According to This
 Stable Manager.

A rider needs a strong hand and a firm seat to ride the hired horses of a certain suburban riding academy when he attempts to go beyond an hours distance from the stable, according to the New York Sun. The rates are So for two hours, and the horses have be- come so accustomed to going one hour out and one back that when the first hour is reached and the rider does not turn back toward the stable his horse insists upon doing it for him.
 Beyond this first hour, if the rider still wishes mistakenly or extrava- gantly to ride still farther away from the stable, he will have to fight his horse every twenty-five or thirty yards as the horse attempts to turn back, and there will be no further joy in the ride. If he complains to the manager of the stable, the manager will be politely regretful if the rider is a stranger or he will tell him the honest truth if the rider is an old acquain- tance.
 T get so many inexperienced riders" the manager will tell you, land they have no sense of direction and keep no track of the time, and if 1t were not for the good sense of the horses the riders would either lose themselves in the countryside or would perhaps realize at some point that their limit was nearly up and then would come laundering in with winded and steaming horses.
 "These horses manage the ride them selves and the riders have very little to do with it," said the stable manager "and in that way they protect the riders, they protect themselves and they protect me"

Average Life of Auto.

As highway transportation de- velops and passenger cars and trucks become practically the sole means of road travel, the proportion of first purchasers of cars and trucks in the total of car sales will decrease, and the demand for new cars each year will become more and more nearly equal to the number of cars which drop out of service. For this reason it is becoming increasingly impor tant for the trade to know how many cars will be required for replacement of those withdrawn from service Analysis of registration, production export and import figures over period of years leads to the con clusIon that the average life of tho 100000 cars retired from service 1T the last seven years was about 5.S years.-Scientific American.

The Haunted House
A By FREDERICK HART

t0. 1s21 by Mcclure Newspaper syhole@Ie''
 "Pshaw! There's no such thing as a ghostl" Cordelia Davis voice was defiant "I think you're all silly to believe such stories. There's nc more harm in that old house than there is in a chicken coop"
 But Cordelia, old Bates says"
 "Oh, don't tell me what old Bates says wouldn't believe that old rep rebate on a stack of bibles. He's al- ways telling the most awful whOp- pers, and he tells them so often that he thinks they are true himself. Why, you've all heard his story about the catfish that was so big that they had to use a calf for bait He's the worst liar in the cOunty!"
 The object of Cordelia's Outburst of skepticism was a group of young people who were sitting around the fireplace in the Davis country house enjoying the heat of the flames; for though it was early October there was chill in the air that made the crack ling logs very comfortable.
 The talk had drifted from golf and bridge to ouija boards and haunted houses and some one had mentioned the deserted house up the road, stat ing that 1t was haunted, and adducing the evidence of old Bates, the peripa- tetic gardner of the Davis menage, as evidence in support.
 A weird tale of moving lights and hollow prO0nS had caused the com. pany to sit little closer around the fire-all except COrdelia. She shout ed her derision at the idea, and over rode the objections of the company as she usually Overrode anything that opposed itself to her sweet will.
 "Why," she finished, as a sort o1 crusher to trample all opposition. q wouldn't be afraid to spend the night in that old place any time. I'm not

sauinn Screw shavinos.

Two thousand years seems a long time to wait for an improvement, but this has been the case with the screw.
 Metal screws have been made since 236 B. c. The shank of the screw has been turned from bar of metal hav- ing the diameter of the screw head, thus wasting large proportion of the metal by reducing it to shavings.
 A certain screw manufacturer has decided to alter this A metal bar, of the diameter of the shank, is put into g matrix and subjected to enormous pressure. The head of the screw is thus expanded in the confined com partment, which gives it the desired shape. The only waste occurs in threading the screw and finishing the head.

room. Once outside he headed fer the haunted house.
 The broken ediflce was ghostly enough in the pale moonlight, with its crumbling walls. glassless windows and shattered door. The weeds grew rank and unkempt all about it. He stole cautiously up the path to the doorway, and even as his foot touched the worn sill he heard a muffied shriek from within. Every nerve on fire he rushed through the filtered hall and came to a door from behind which came sobs mingled with an unearthly clanking sound.
 It was locked, but his shoulder sent it crashing inward and he found him. self in room dusty with the accu- mutations of years, in which the moonlight filtered dimly through dirty panes; in one corner a huddled heap of white which he knew to be Cor della :; and across the floor something black and shapeless was moving ac- companied by that ghostly rattle! Jimmy's nerve was good, but even he was shaken for a moment. Then reason reasserted itself, and he kicked savagely at the thing; it leaped away with a snarl, and the moonlight fell on it--a small dog with collar from which dangled a few feet of rusty chain!
 In his relief Jimmy laughed aloud, and took two strides to where Cor della crOuched, her hands over her face. At the sound of his voice she looked up, then suddenly sprang to her feet and threw her arms around his neck, hiding her face on his shoul- der.
 "Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy I'm so glad you came! I'm so glad Oh, it was dreadful! Please, please take me away"
 Even when he explained that it was only a dog she refused to be com forted, shuddering against him and begging to be taken home. He helped her outdoors, and in the open air she found relief in tears. Somehow Jim my'S shoulder seemed a good place as a repository for her grief, and she wept unrestrainedly with his good right arm hA-ling her close. And as she realized her need of him he felt surging through him his love for her, and then and there, on the path that | led to her house he told her all that his heart had ached to express. Her tears ceased; but she did not draw away from his protecting arm. At the threshold of the house they paused. From within came sounds of 1 laughter.
 And you were the only one to think of coming for mel" murmured 1 COrdelia.
 q had to come-something made me. had to come because-be- cause"
 Because what, Jimmy" | Because of what I said before-be cause I love you and have always loved you. Cordelia dear, you do care, don't yOu?"

CREEKS HELD BEAUTY SACRED
No Sculptor of Repute Would De- .scend to 0rotesqueness In Depict
 ina the Human Form.

Many persons wonder why among all the hundreds of statues of ancient Greece there were no grOtesque, ugly or comical bits. Very rare specimens have been found, but nearly always these have been miniatures and evil dently the work of inferior artists. The reason Is that the Greeks wor- shiped beauty of line and color so thoroughly that the creation of an ugly representation of a huamn being would have been looked upon as a prOfane and wicked act.
 Among the few grotesque statues known is a little marble made in Athens over 2.00O years aga of a dwarf doing a dance that seems to resemble the movements of the cake-waIk, once popular in the United States. The little woman wears a hObble skirt, and her head, look ing back over her shoulder, is rather attractive. It is thought to be a statue of some well-knOwn ROman dwarf cabaret artist made by a sculp. tor atthe solicitation of Roman friend or else a satire on a larger and per haps very fine dancing bit done by . rival and hated workman.

For instance, it might be soldier. The material is galvan- ized iron, made hollow, so that the lower part of it may be filled with cement to make a heavier base. The body is hollow in order that if de- sired, it may hold an urn containing the ashes of the deceased. AS for the head, it is meant to be screwed on and may be made a likeness of the person for whom the tombstone is erected,
