INSANITY IS NOT
 REALLY |NCURABLE
If "Queer' Children Are Treated
 They Will Be Saved in Time

New York, May 1.-The public is said to be becoming saner about in sanity. Families used to feel it a terrible stigma if any of their kin was considered "a little bit off," as the saying went. But thousands of such people now go voluntarily to free dispensaries flor nervous and mental disorders"
 Last year 3,5s5 persons in New York state made 9,969 visits to the 40 such clinics conducted throughout the state. Only five or six years ago such thing was unknown, according to officials of the State Charities Aid association, which is cooperating ip the work.
 Tuberculosis Drops.
 This organization, pointing to sta- tistics which show the tuberculosis death rate dropped about 34 per cent from 1907, when the organized fight on the white plague began, to 1920, expects to show the same results in it's battle against insanity.
 The war and the business depres- sion that has followed caused con- siderable increase in mental disorders. Aid association officials declared. They have found, however, that serious worries and diseases are not the only waves that shove the mind off an even keel. Some people become un- balanced by too much recreation. just as others skid from the path of san- ity because of overwork and domestic 
 What the association intends to do is popularize information concerning the causes, treatment and prevention of mental disorders generally It con- tends that 40 per cent of the 10000 persons in New York state who are now under treatment in asylums and hospitals for feeble minded could have been savd from such fate if the proper preventive measures had been taken in time. It feels that since the asy1ums of the country have greater enrolment than the colleges, the people ought to be taught to have themselves examined by competent physicians if they feel queer, or If so consider them.
 The most hopeful sign for cutting down insanity is in the attitude Of parents and teachers toward children, in the belief of the Aid association.
 If we can help the queer chill dren, we will have fewer queer in the future" one official said.

RICHARD CROKER

A real man died when Richard Croker breathed his last. Those who lived in New York city during the period between 1886 and 1902, when he was the ruler of Tammany Hall, could feel his influence though they might know little of politics or the power of the organization he guided in it's smallest activity That Croker atmosphere was breathed by every policeman on the beat It was seen in every political move made. Working against or laboring for Richard Croker, every man in politics or op- posing politics as they were had Croker in his thoughts.
 Energy and power dominated the mans life. A few years schooling were all that came to him. At first physical strength. ability to dominate through brute force, made him a lead CT. A fighter with the fists, he ruled lUulN uudlS at IlESl, lftll ne lbu SdngS. Wisdom of uncanny sort coming with mature years, Croker held those fists behind him and used his head. In his gift for organization he carried his demands for obedience and his de- termination to know everything that was being done by these under the control of his organization, into the most minute detail of life. The most Insignificant member of his forces had to report regularly. There could be no underhand work of which he did not know. The tie which bound every one of the great army of political workers to Richard Croker was tie which none could sever and Survive.
 Expecting truth from those who worked for Tammany Hall Croker held himself to his own given word. He might reward former enemy with political office when it served his purpoes, but he did It openly, making

BROTHERLY LOVE AS
 SAVIOR FOR EUROPE
This Is Policy of Father Sturzo
 at Genoa

Genoa, May 1.--(By Associated Press )-A new figure stands out on the skyline of the Genoa conference. He is the Rev Father Luigi sturzo, leader of the Italian cabinet party, and his views, despite the fact that he has no official standing in the confer- ence, are receiving close attention from the leaders of the various dele gations.
 Father Sturzo favors establishment of kind of European federation based on the principles of brotherly love, conciliation and cooperation and he plans to visit the United States later to preach his ideals there.
 Lloyd Georges Guest.
 On Saturday night the Catholic leader was a dinner guest of the Brit ish premier, MT. Lloyd George, and since his arrival in Genoa he has also conferred with Frank A. Vanderlip, American banker; lunched with Chancellor Wirth and Dr. Rathenau of the German delegation; dined with the Italian foreign minister, M. Schanzer, and held lengthy confer-
 
 mania, and the delegates of Jugo- Slavia, Belgium and Holland.
 In all these leaders he has appar- ently had listeners eager for his views on the necessity of political inter- nationale" based on international as- pirations much loftier and broader than anything the world has yet seen.
 People must not think the evils of the worlds suffering can be eliminat- ed at a single stroke of a magic wand" said Father Sturzo to the cor is only the first step on long road only the beginning of work which will lead after many years to the res toration of Europe and to a brother hood Of peoples.
 Political 1nternationaIe.
 '1 am working indefatigably for consummatior of what l call q po- litical internationale."
 He explained that by this he meant world organization inspired by Christian principles, though not ncc- ossarily aiming at the spread of the Catholic religion. He wanted to unite the parties of all countries which have ideals similar to his 'own---namely that everybody should wish best for their own country, but simultaneously strive for the betterment of all peoples. AL ready, he said, he had received sup port from all the countries of Europe except France and England, and he was going to those countries about thcend of May. He had re- ceiycd backing also from South American countries. but net from the United States.
 Father Sturzo is regarded by his countrymen as a true apostle He is over 90 years, but looks about 35

BABSON AND RAILROADS,

Roger Babson's comments on rail-
 roads, appearing in The Herald of
 Saturday, are full of suggestions ap-
 plicable to matters of local interest
 His remark, The railroads are suf- fering today from precedent" is espe- cialy apropos of irnumerable other present day activities. While con- ditions remain the same" he adds, precedent is good guide to follow, comes a most dangerous guide to fol- low The railroad president of the the railroad employees of the future will be trained men in salesmanship and service" Then, he says, the rail- roads will come back and the rail- road securities will again return to the high place which they deserve.
 The above, as well as the statement with which Mir. Babson begins his re- Iljoi fNS, 10 hIittIlS dIDIlCdDlt lO lllt trolley transportation matter in this community. He lauds community of interest, which means, of course, gen. eral interest in the road, making those who travel on it as interested in it's success as are its employees. Good will is necessary in order to bring this about. Officers as merchants, and op- orators as salesmen would bring this good will to the Connecticut com pany. Good will is the pre- requisite without which success cannot come to stay, even though temporary high fares and the need of the people to patronize the company may bring moments of prosperity. There never will be a solid foundation upon which success of the company may be built until the base of the whole structure is the peoples good will.
 Along the same line are his asser- tions that one of the great difficulties is inefficient labor and the cost of that labor, not because of high wages, but rather because of the use of too much labor. Much of it is waste If every employe of the Connecticut company. high and low, was interested in the community in which the patronage was found, and were the advice and suggestions of such interested em- ployes to be obtained and needed. 1 there would be far greater efficiency and less necessity for payment of large sums for men in high places, perhaps, l whose services are duplicated or whose work might be done by others. |
 Another point Mr Babson brings out, pertinent at this time when it has been suggested that trucks pay part | of the cost Of highway maintenance, | is the unfair handicap of paying for road preservation and construction. | under which railroads labor. This, not | that railroads should be relieved of | this bur(sn of road maintenance, but rather that the competitors Of rail- i roads the trucks. should be made to bear their share of the cost of main- tenance of the ways oyer which they f travel, as the railroads must bear their expense for this maintenance of way An equalization of this matter would bring added income to the rail- roads, 50 to the Connecticut company,

GEoRGlAs DEATH RATE;
LET'S MAKE IT LOWER

Georgia has no greater advertise
ment than her low death rate, for in
1921, Of which year the mortality Of
certain months was audited by the
Federal Census Bureau recently, her
death rate was 10 per 1000 popula
ton, while in 1920 South Carolina
showed IA, Virginia and Florida IL
and North Carolina IL, according to
the latest printed report Of the Fed
eral Census.
Georgia is now in the registration
area for deaths. Her death rates will
be published by the Census Bureau.
Her general, as we'll as her Tuber'
culosis, Cancer and other specific
rates, are so low when compared with
the neighboring states that the rates
will be questioned.
Georgia has no greater pull for PEG.
pie or investments than her good
health as shown by her low mortality
rates, but these rates must be based
on records, the completeness OF which
cannot be contradicted.
There is a law in Georgia prohibit
ing the burial of any dead person
until a death certificate has been
filed and burial permit secured. The
enforcement of this statute will pro.
test Georgia's records ard will estab.
lish these rates beyond question.

CROMWELL HAD LIGHTER SIDE
Incident Recorded of Him Seems to
Prove That He Could Enjoy a
Practical Joke.

II is told Of Oliver Cromwell, the
English leader and soldier, that he
had a great love Of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense of
others, according to the impulse Of
the moment. An example Of this trait
is shown In the following incident.
Cromwell had very beautiful daugh-
ter, and at the time he came into
power In England one of his attend
ants took fancy to this young lady.
One day Cromwell went into his
daughters room and was surprised to
see his page on his knees making O
declaration of his love to his daughter.

WAS MARRIED TO BEST MAN
Odd Happening Recorded at Wedding
Bridegroom Willing 10 Allow
Bride Time TO Consider.

Not so long ago a strange error
occurred at church wedding. 10
some way the bridal party became
confused and at the close Of the cere-
mOny II was discovered that the bride
had been married TO the best man.
Further complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to the brides younger SIS
ter. The register had not yet been
signed, and there was nothing for
It but to perform the ceremony over
again. The mistake had arisen
through the best man undertaking to
make the necessary response for the
bridegroom, who was so nervous as
TO be unable TO remember them him
self. At wedding which took place
In country village a few years ago
the bridegroom. on being asked the
customary question, "Wilt thou take
this woman to be thy wlfef" scratched
his head refiectively, and, turning TO
the bride, asked: "Will We clean my
boots3" The query was met in the
affirmative, and the ceremony pro
ceeded. A laughable incident once
occurred at village wedding. When
the bride had reached the church she
had forgotten her gloves, and fatty
refused to be married without them,
adding: "Be quick, lest / change my
mlnd!" Two hours later the bride
groom was discovered seated In the
