 TOReStOre Reason

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov. A. Staring, dry-eyed, out of the window of her home at the huge gray walls of the Federal Penitentiary, wherein her husband, Roy Gardner, daring train robber is confined, Mrs. Dolly Gardner sits hour after hour, pray ing that Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty will grant permission for an operation OF her husbands skull.
 Mrs. Gardner believes that in the event her husband is operated upon and the pressure on his brain re- moved he will reform, and soon regain> his citizenship. She de- clared six specialists have examined Roy, and each of them stated he could be; cured of his desire to rob trains. On the other hand, Dr. Yohe, prison physician, in his re- port to Attorney-General Daugherty, indicated that, in his opinion, an operation would not remove Gard
 ers craving for banditry.

 Roy wants to be cured and has consented to the operation al though he thinks it will mean his death. He is getting old. I noticed many gray hairs in his head when I visited him at the penitentiary. If he is kept there in his present condition he will either die or be- come hopelessly insane.'

Troubles Of Our Own

Simple precautions would avert most
Of tbe railroad crossing horrors. Here
are 4 few rules, which, II followed,
would save many lives;
Never approach railroad tracks that
must be crossed at grade, without this
tboueht: Here is the place where

control. then you will be prepared for
any emergency. You know the import
arce of having good brakes on your car.
Look them over, from time to time.
Probably nine out of ten times there
will not be a train near enough to check
vour progress over the tracks. Make no
effort to 80 across, until, by careful use
of both eyes and ears, you have sized
up the situation.
All must agree that little time spent
in irving to protect life and limbs is a
GOOD investment. We use up some time

road tracks, you see train coming, and
the thought comes into your mind, u
can beat it acrossl" That thought is
a mere whim. Your judgment is moi
speaking. In such case, wait for your
sober second thought.
Remember that fast train can rur
the quarter mile from the whistling pos

YOU know just exactly how far you car

Old Naval Officers Face Hard Times

EIFTY-NINE old sea doEs of the
L American navy are in trouble. This
is a group of naval officers who in
some cases have served as far back as
1898 and were formerly officers of the
naval auxiliary service. Ii appears
that in he days in which they took an
active part in the navy, they received
some sort Of an indefinite promise that
they would never be relieved from
duty as long as they were alive, and
also that in later years their families
would receive pensions. The branch
of the service in which they served
was organized in 1898 TO command
naval supply vessels. But in the emer-
Cency of 1917 congress arbitrarily
forced these old-time auxiliary officers
into the newly organized naval reserve.
Under their auxiliary organization
they were accorded the same amount
of pay and other benefits as the regu-
lars. But since their enforced entry
into the naval reserve of 1917 they
have become a part of the organized
reserve, which under the present naval
bill will be greatly reduced.
