THE CHEMICAL CYCLE or LIFE.
Life Is an Endless Ring.

THE CHEMICAL CYCLE or LIFE.
T [FE has existed on earth for many
millions of years. What becomes
of the substance Of life, the body
and the skeleton, after life de-
parts? Chemists can answer, The
revelations of the crucible and the re-
tort are among the most startling of
modern times; the elements of life are.
eternal. The very atoms Of your body
have been In thousands of previous liv-
ing combinations.
The chemistry Of life is a great cycle.
Plants draw in oxygen. water, and SUM-
shine, and from these three produce
substances SO intricate that ma can
only partially unravel their natur An
finals must look to plants for their ulti-
mate food. Plants are relatively simple
organisms, but the bodies Of animals
are made of complex tissues Of many
sorts. When animals die, what then?
A host Of fungi is ready and waiting;
these fall on the highly developed com-
pounds and tear them down. Fungi
are embodied spirits Of destruction.
Some do not ven wait until death
ersues to begin their ravages. They
attack US while we are yet alive. One
bacterium alone, the pneumococcus,
makes greater inroads into humanity
every year han all the wars Of the
last ten centuries.
The evolution Of life is tripartite.
One-third builds, one-third uses, and
one-third destroys. This Is as it should
be. The elements Of the earth are Inn
tied. They must not be tied up in
useless structures after the ability to

NEW HAVEN PLAN' TO
 SAVE BOYS IS URGED
New York Police Commis. sioner Asked to Give
 Offenders a Chance

New York. April 12.-New York Is attempting to throw a barrlcade across the path that leads to prison for so many of its boys.
 The city is to test an idea, report ed to have been successfully tried in New Haven, Conn. by John c. Col lins. organizer of the Friends of Boys. In New Haven the police. instead of arresting a boy for misdemeanors, take him to the station house where his parents are notified, the lad re- leased in their custody and the family told to report to Collins.
 The results of disrespect for the law and the reasons for its enforce ment thus are carefully explained to both the boy and his parents and Col lins himself decides what punishment if any is to be enforced through the parents. Thus the stigma of arrest is avoided.
 New Workers who have observed the New Haven experiment have enlisted the cooperation of Police Commis- sioner Enrght and the system under the direction of Collins will be tried out in two precincts on the lower east side. These precincts have popula- ton of more than 75o.ooo and about 1000 boys under the age of IA ge into trouble with the police each year
 Mir. Collins who claims to have founded the first boys club in Am erica Is 72 but looks so.

One of the most important features of the election Of Alderman A, NJ. Paonessa as mayor, is the probability that the office of personal tax colec- tor will be eliminated and the incum- bent, J. Willie Mills, put out of job.
 This was one Of the blanks in the platform that Mir. Paonessa was elected on. The state requires the collection of personal taxes, allowing the mayor Of each city to determine in what manner they shall be collect cd. It is expected that the work will be combined with the present duties of the tax collector, If so, it is eX- pected that at least one new clerk will be placed in that office.

Connecticut Riuer Breaks Record

Govt. Advises of Danger of Big Freshet-FlOOds and High Winds Dem0lish Homes in Arkansas.

Springfield, Mass, April 12.-With higb water records for the last nine years broken in the upper reaches of the Connecticut river, a government flood warning was received here to- day saying that heavy rains north have swollen the river nearly to the twenty seven foot stage at White River Junction, Nt., and predicting a "big freshet."
 Tracks Arc Threatened
 At Bellows Falls, Vt, today the river has risen three feet since last night and further rise of eight inches will flood tunnel on the Bos- ton and Maine lines and force a de- tour of train service. Trolley service is cut off by the flooding of the high way. At this city the river stood more than IT feet above low water which is higher than the 1920 mark when the steel bridge at Brattleboro, Nt, was swept away.
