NEW YORK.-Borne Scryms, one
Of the Standard Oil offshoots, has
declared a Is per cent cash divi-
dend from the sale of 3 "a per
cent Victory bonds, which have been
called for redemption. These bonds
have been held since the date of
issue. The company has small
capitalization only 100000 and
relatively large earning power. Since
dissolution of the Standard Oil COM
pany in 1911 dividends have aggre-
gated $50 per cent.
Some Chicago operators are very
bullish on Sinclair Oil. Rumors are
heard here that the company has
arranged better working agreement
with its western competitors and
also that is planning TO consolidate
all Of its floating debt through some
new financing. But aside from the
nearby season for increased demand
for oil from automobiles, nothing
definite could be learned here to
explain the recent strength in these
shares. Unconfirmed reports were
also heard that Standard OIL inter
ests were again buying Sinclair
stock.

Helping the Growth.

Industry is quickening its life as winter
passes out. There is noticeable increase in con-
struction activities all over the country. The
railways are beginning to launch improvement
undertakings long delayed-irst by uncertain
business conditions and then by the coming of
the cold season. Large corporations in
creasng their working forces the trade out
look for the year shows betterment Now, this
is pleasing to observe-rthe signs of reviving
industry and charging employment. 1t can be
made much better, however, if the strengthen
ing of the early sprngtimes enlivenng condi-
ton is given more effort everywhere. The i'm
provement thus far is almost a natural growth
it comes from demands of business which
cannot be stifed. There opportunities of
greatly adding to the volume of work and of
trade by proper means of stimulating enter
prise and confidence. 1t is the time to do this
now. After all. humming industry and pros
porous times come from correcting of trade
evils close at hand, rather than as result of
everything being permitted to await some
countryside movement toward better conditions.
Starting wherever there is need of revival the
Quickening impulse soon spreads to every quar-
ter. Individuals launch such aid. The other
is everybody's business, and therefore requires
long time for getting anyones attention.

and wear masks Some Of the most dangerous
are men of apparent responsibility. They are
members of the legal fraternity. they are on the
judicial benches they are in various lines of
industry and business. They have used the real
criminal either to their political or financial adj
vantage And when the criminal gets tripped
up by the law he naturally turns for help to
those with whom he has had previous intimate
relations He pulls every string at his COM
mand and the results indicate that he possesses
a variety of them.
Chicago probably has no more criminals in
proportion to its population than other large
American cities. The successful criminal is
not, as rule, drifter. He is not to be CLASH
fed with the petty larceny thief and pickpocket.
He operates on bigger plan. He settles in
city and becomes permanent fixture. He gets
into politics and becomes a cog in the machine
He expects the machine to protect him when
the enemy tries to entangle him in the meshes
of the law. And the.machine usually responds.
Chicago will rid itself of such spectacle
as it now presents when the good people of the
city band together and insist upon common de-
cency and respect for the social laws. The
criminal thrives through the Indifference of
good citizenship. The criminal puts his friend
in office because the good citizens divide into
rival political camps, allowing themselves to be
Influenced in their ballots by party names
rather than by the character of the candidate.
The criminals stick together. The good cit
liens divide into factions In union there is
strength. That's why the criminals of Chicago
are strong enough to threaten the life of the
states attorney and attempt to send to eternity
with bombs men who dare to raise their voices
against their operations

An Observer at Genoa.

Frank A. Vanderlip, the former New York
banker. is to be the unofficial observer for the
United States at the Genoa financial conference.
The United States government declined to par
ucipate in this conference because Europe con-
tinues to spend its means for armies and navfes
instead of for the betterment of the people and
has not conformed TO the common understand
ing regarding the restoration of that continent
to normally At the same time it is proposed
by this government that while it will not be
boHnd by the action of the conference it will
be so represented that nothing adverse to its
interests can be attempted without its
knowledge.
If the fnanciers of Europe and the govern
ments of Europe desire rehabilitation let them
turn back into the ways of peace, and let them
take from the shoulders of the people the
heavy military burdens and divert all the means
thus tied up into peaceful lines. Mr. Wander
lip is favorably known in financial circles in
this country. He surely has had experience
enough to qualify him for the post he is to fill
Mr.. Vanderlip was at one time a Chicago news
paper reporter. He handled the financial page
of the Tribune and displayed such talent in his
work that he attracted the attention of bankers
and was for many years connected in an official
capacity with one of the leading banks of New
York.

The Law and the Criminal.

States Attorney Robert Grove is having
some thrilling and unpleasant experiences in
connection with the performance OF his official
duties in Cook county. One municipal
court judge has threatened to send
him to jail for contempt OF court
and he has been receiving letters telling him
that he will be killed unless he dessts in his
activities against certain criminals. Coincident
with these happenings homes of several leading
citizens in Chicago have been bombed as
measure of intimidation
There is nothing startlingly in this sit
uation in Chicago. Other states attorneys
have had to contend with the same conditions
now faced by Mr. Grove. II is assumed that
he is honestly endeayoring to enforce the law
and to secure the conviction and punishment OF
those guilty of crimes against the social order
The real African in the woodpile today in Chi
cago is politics. 1t is politics that is dividing
otherwise good citizens into fractional alignments
and giving influence and standing TO the black
leg and criminal.
Not all the criminals in Chicago carry guns

Foreigner Seeks knowledge.

The educated American is furnished some
thing to think about by summing up of the
years output from of the great city librar-
les. 1t shows that foreign districts read more
books than any other, and more fiction The
so-called cultured neighborhoods read fewer
books, and these more fiction than anything
else Only four per cent of all books drawn
were in any foreign tongue. When Americans
of fair education. consider illiteracy a menace
they think automatically of the foreigners
streaming into our cities. Yet here is unuues-
tonably evidence that the foreigner is reaching
out for knowledge, for mastery of the English
tongue, for broader horizons and for general
and particular education. He is on the road I'D
to mental and commercial and political power.
And while he grows the class which should al
ways keep little ahead of him, or at least even
with him, regards him with ignorant and lazy
patronage, stuffs itself with fat fiction and in
evtably disintegrates, bit by bit. 1t is some
thing for fction-consuming American adults to
consider for themselves and in directing the
reading of their children.

St. Patrick's Day.

This is st. Patricks day. Since last March
II stirring events have taken place in that spot
Of the world upon which all Irish eyes have
been for SO long conferred. Michael Collins
head Of the Irish free state, has suggested to
Irishmen throughout the world that St Pat
ricks day be made the occasion for the great
est celebration in history Many leading Irish
men in this country have endorsed the idea Not
all Irishmen in this country satisfied with
the developments in Ireland. Not all in Ire
land are satisfied The suggestion from Mr..
Collins. therefore, does not meet with unan-
imous approval. The day, however, is cele-
brated wherever Irshmen found 1t is in
grained in the history and tradition of the race
and is inseperably associated with the sacred
tenets of their religious faith and worship.
Whatever may he the reactions TO the events in
Ireland there is sufficient in the memory and in
the sentiment of st. Patrick to keep his day
sacred and inviolate.

Your Temperature.

London, March 16.-Is there anything more
wonderful than the delicate mechanism of the
thermic center which regulates the tempera-
ture of the body, asks physician in the Mail?
Seated deep down in the center of the brain,
like operator surrounded by an important
switchboard, it is constantly at work trying to
adjust our temperature to the normal 9S4 de-
gree Fahrenheit
But it never succeeds.
First of all, it has to contend with the daily
or "diurnai variation" which means that our
temperature is normally slightly higher in the
evening. Even this is not always true for
should you happen to be night worker your
temperature becomes inverted" or slightly
higher in the morning than in the evening: and
this peculiar type persists, often for several
weeks after the cessation of night work
Again, who realizes that, after walking for
an hour at ordinary pace, his temperature has
gone up one degree, while, should he have COW
cred six miles in that time, he will be almost
two degrees warmer?
The great difference, of course between an
exercise temperature and, say that associated
with influenza is that the former it not accom-
panied by the poisons and toxins of the disea Sc
lit is these latter which are mainly respon-
slble for the headache, mental depression and
general malaise which one experiences with a
specific fever.

ELABORATE BATHS
NOW PROVIDEDFOR
CANNES OF PARIS

Paris.-No longer will those PAM
pered pets of Partisan women
the Pomeranians and the Pekingese
be left to the unskilled care OF
the maid for their weekly baths.
Elaborate baths, constructed and
equipped exclusively for the ablu-
tons of pet dogs of wealthy Paris
ians have just been opened in the
exclusive Saint Honore quarter of
Paris.
A fashionable dogs life is a VERT
able path of roses if the word of
attendants at the canine bathing
establishment may be accepted as
true. Attendants say he rides in
a luxurious motor car to the baths
where he has a private bathing
compartment.
After the bath experienced mas
seurs pay their respects to his ca
nine highness while a manicurist
shapes his aristocratic claws. When
the veterinary determines that his
health is all that his owner could
desire, he renters the motor car
with his mistress and returns home
TO dainty meal of porterhouse
steak.

We have it on the authority of a noted orni-
biologist that birds not only know how to pro-
duce beautiful music. but that they themselves
have conscious love of beauty. He tells of
birds building and decorating their nests in a
way that proves their possession of artistic
taste and the intelligence to minister it. The
gracefulness of many birds architecture is we'll
known, going beyond the mere requirements of
strength and comfort. Some, when the home
is finished, add colored feathers and other
things, for no imaginable purpose except that of
making it pretty. There even birds in Aus
tralia that make Fairgrounds and art galleries
for themselves, carrying their coored pebbles
flowers and shells, and walking around
and dancing among them for hours When the
flowers wither the birds remove them and
bring fresh ones. There a good MANY human
beings who do not seem yet to have arrived at
the bird stage of artistic development.

A Boy OF Seventeen.

A Boy OF Seventeen.
What you'd you do, asks cores
pondent, if you had a boy of II, a
sophomore in Methodist college,
living in fraternity house, who
: was beginning to smoke and who
was getting into other bad habits
r. V. w
Wait, wait. One thing at time.
IL 1 had a boy of 17-or if l had a
boy, just a boy, I'd go out and
throw up my hat and make the well
kin ring. We'd put ON the gloves
and pummel each other good and
proper every little while We'd
hold the fort together to the last
man. He'd be Young Bill, and one
fine day he would step quietly into
my shoes and the world at large
would never realize its terrible loss.
II 1 had just a little boy, rug
ged and. so dirty mean sturdy
rough and ready to fight his own
battles, I'd buy him II pairs of
pants and have some of them cop
per bottomed Oh, Boy!
When or if my boy reached the
age of II he would not, l hope, be
sophomore anywhere. He would
be preparing to graduate from the
public high school nearest our
shanty. This easy solution of the
boy problem, sending them off to
some far away school at a danger
Gus age, is to be deplored. If the
boy can't be managed at home what
chance in the world has he under
the tender care of any professional
caretaker? 1t is sad enough that
parents have to let their boys or
girls leave home when the children
are old enough to enter college. Too
many youngsters take this first step
away from parental control before
their character has been formed.
Too many of them suffer grave in
juries in the course of the first
year of freedom" the scars of
which never quite disappear. Time
enough to cut the apron strings
when there is no alternative.
My boy would give the frat
houses a wide berth so long as
had anything to say about that
There is enough trouble instilled in
the minds of youths in our college
fraternity houses. When frats are
established in the preparatory
schools and even in some public
high schools it is time for parents
to take stock of their stewardship.
The chances are against this lad.
The boy has been allowed to make
a wrong start. The parent is re-
sponsible for that. 1t is the duty of
to exact from a boy before
the boy leaves home a solemn
