DOUBLE SHOOTING TAKES
 PLACE IN SOUTH KENT
Mrs. Louise Benedict, 80,
 Dead; Daughter Also .. Shot In Arm

A double shooting took place ln Kent Hollow about o'clock We'd nesday at the Benedict farm. Mrs. Louise Benedict, owner of the farm is dead and her daughter, Mrs. Cora Page has bullet wound in the arm. The shooting is said to have been done by Sidney O. Ward and posse headed by Constable Eric Hagmaa IS searching the woods in that vicinity for him.
 Only meager details of the tragedy are available, but it is said that ward was employed at the farm off and >on during the past five years. He IS a heavy thinker and it is thought that he was crazed by liquor when the shooting took place.
 Reports state that Mrs. Benedict, who is 80 years of age, went out about 4 o'clock in the morning to feed the chickens, when she encoun- tered Ward who shot and killed her. Mrs. Cora Page, daughter Of Mrs. Benedict hearing the commotlon started to investigate when she was also shot by Ward, receiving q ouliet in the arm. Ward then made for the woods nearby and up to the time we go to press had not been appre- hended. 4 :. Ward is native of South Kent, is about 55 years of age and has lived in that vicinity all his life He had been employed at the Benedict farm for nearly five years irregularly but whether or not he was employed there at the time of the shooting has not been ascertained.

BUY REPEAT" STOCKS
 SAYS ROGER BABSON
Statistician CIassifies All In- dustrial Securities Under
 Three Heads

When asked for his plan for select
 ing industrial stocks, Roger W. Bab- son, the statistician today sounded a
 new note in recommending what he calls "the repeats"
 Manufacturing concerns are di- vided into three main groups" said MT. Babson, according to the nature of what they produce. These groups are as follows: -t.-..
 "Group one includes those con cerns making products that are, bought eventually by every person, but in small quantities. Coffins are a simple illustration of this group. For each of us one coffin will some day be bought. This is known as the essential group.
 "Group two includes those con- cerns manufacturing products which olRy a certain percentage of the people buy at all and which only very few buy more than once. There are hosts of illustrations of this group. Pianos, automobiles, yes, even garden tools are in this group.
 \ "Group three includes those con- cerns who are engaged in the manu- facture of repeat merchandise. The breakfast food people are an illus tration of such manufacturers. You get into the habit of using a certain breakfast food and you keep buying it. The soap people are engaged in this repeat business. Such business is the most profitable both to, the manufacturer and to the investor. Industrial securities which are found ed on the third group are generally recognized as the most Attractive. - "One might think that, the essen tial group is the best group in which to invest one's money, but a study of the situation convinces one that this is not so. Altho some one is sure some day to buy coffin for each one of us, yet the coffin industry is a very easy industry to get over stocked Surely the sale of cofins can be increased very little by ad- .vertising, salesmanship, or any other means known to the most clever sales managers. --a.
 Y "Take salt" continued MT. Babson, "salt is the prime essential of food, yet the cleverest advertising in the world could not increase the natural consumption of salt. Altho off hand you might think it much safer to loan money to the salt industry than to- the candy industry, yet study of failure records show that the candy industry is safer than the salt indus try IAltho musical instruments are not essential, the demand for them can be increased to an almost un- limited extent. Hence, industries pro- ducing products of the second group are preferable to those of the first group. .-.
 "The third group, including those industries based upon repeating purchases, is the most profitable of all The securities of the "Gillette Razor" are a very good illustration. The Gillette Company can afford to sell razor/at a loss because of the blades they sell later.
 Another illustration is the Eastman Kodak Company. Eastman can we'll afford to sell kodak at cost because 1 of the great source of income in | films and supplies. Another illustra- tion is the photograph. A piano ! would go in group two, photograph | would also go in group two, but records would go in (Continued on page, 8

SCALES WHICH METE OUT JUSTICE TO YOUNG
SHOULD BE SENSITIVE TO A HAIRS WEIGHT

in those phases which touch youthful
problems. AS necessary as is his
knowledge of the law, knowledge o.
youth is even more necessary to his
efficiency. He should be above re-
proach and suspicion both as a jurist
and as a man. In the juvenile coui t..
OF all places, purity of motive and of
decree should be dominant. 1t is
not necessary that the Judge be but
tressed by all the accessories of a
conventional court. These too often
strike terror in the heart of a child
when trust should be evoked Some
courts are held in small home-like
rooms which are free from all SEM
blance of law Here many a younS
offender has sat on judges knee, or
leaned against his shoulder, and per-
suaded by a stick of chewing gum or
a piece of candy, has poured forth
the story of his guilt with all the gus
to of "reminiscences, as a boy would
tell his pal. And, without being NAV
kish, many judge has listened symp-
athetically as he drew the boy closer
to his heart. Then in the boys ear
the man known in law as a Judge
would pour out the advice and repri-
mand that should have come from a
fathers lips. So, with a firm grip of
the hand, and a pat on the back, the
boy would be released with the in
| junction to sin no more, and thus
many violation of the law has passed
into thin air and many thoughtless
or neglected boy has gone out into
the world to redeem promise made
to be good sport and regular
guy
This seemingly simple outcome is
possible only under certain conGi-
tions: % If the discharged is re-
turned to a constructive environment
or (2) if he is released on probation
under the care of some one who is
capable of directing and advising the
boy and the family of which he is a
member. The second stage, probate n
will be discussed in the next study

ture can be accomplished without call
ing for outside aid.
Not the least interesting of the
achievements of the marines in the
line of efficiency has been the work
done by accounting experts and econo-
mists. These have made an economic
survey of the corps with a view to es-
tablishing the most economical and
efficient systems with the result that
costs have come down in a surprising
manner and efficiency has been raised
to even higher standards.
The effect of these economies is best
shown in the returns of the Marine
Corps Quartermaster's Department,
which show that, exclusive of pay, the
cost of maintaining a marine in 1919
was $1,127 for the year, and in 1920
1858. In 1921 it had fallen to 1894,
while for the current year the marine
corps estimates that SASS per man will
be sufficient 1t points with pride to
the fact that the actual expense for the
maintenance of 1000 men for this
year will be only about nine and one
half millions, whereas in 1920, for
maintaining $4,000 men, the cost was
more than seventeen millions.

Service Credits for Peace Victories
BY FREDERICK J. HASk1N

WASHINGTON, D. c., March o.
Victories of peace and public service
are to be entered on the records of
marines alongside the entries for SER
vice in war and equal credit is to
be given for each, according to new
Major General John A. Lejeune, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps.
The order relates to the members
of the Marine Corps who took part
in the perilous work of rescuing the
imprisoned and injured at the Knicker-
booker Theatre disaster and directs
that a commendatory notation similar
to the marking of credit given for par
ticipating in battle be entered in the
service-record book of every marine
who participated in the work of res
cue. Prior to this time such credit has
been given only for service in battles,
skirmishes, campaigns and other war
like enterprises.
The decision of the Marine Corps to
award credit equal to battle credit for
the hazardous and heroic service in
peace of the men who took part in the
rescue at the knickerbocker is a con-
tinuation of the policy of the Marine
Corps adopted about year ago by
which it was determined that almost
as great service could be rendered to
the American public by marines dur
ing peace time as during war
According to General Lejeune this
policy is based on theory which has
seldom been considered in connection
with the military service, namely, that
the Marine Corps exists not only to
serve the nation in war, but to con-
stitute reserve of educated, trained,
technical men ready to come to the
aid of the country in any manner in
which their services may be needed

Everyday Adventures
That's What You Call Service

That's What You Call Service
When you're pretty much dis
gusted with the brand of work that
number of the young men at your
place of business have been doing
And the only thing that's been
keeping you from firing them is the
thought that maybe you'd have to
put UP with even less promising
material
But then one morning you lose
your patience altogether and give
the delinquents their walking
papers and some pointed advice
about taking advantage of the next
opportunities that come their way
And then you realize that it's up
to you to pick up pair of really
enterprising workers to take the
vacant places and the idea comes
to you-just like that-that you'll
use a little ad in the Palladium's
Help Wanted column
And within twenty-four hours
after your message is printed, your
office is fairly stormed with am
billions young men-so many of
them that it's easy to select two
who just fill your ticket
Oh Man, That's What You Call
Service!

Ill emergencies of peace. At the same
time it is his theory that most i'm
portant factor in the mission of the
Corps is to administer its affairs sc
efficiently and economically that its
cost may not be a heavy public burden
Surprising Results Already
Since the summer of 1920, when a
beginning was made toward putting
this theory into practice, results have
been obtained which have surprised
and delighted even it's warmest sup
porters. The practice of placing the
marines in all localities at the service
of the community in every emergency
has enabled them to be of service in
a multitude of manners and instances
and has built for the Corps a reputa.
ton for peace-time usefulness which
has rendered it in public opinion more
than ever an indispensable adjunct OF
the government. During this period
also, efficiencies have been introduced
and economies put into effect which
have cut the cost to the government
of maintaining the Marine Corps, per
man, to less than half the sum for
merly necessary.
An apt illustration of the manner
in which the Corps new policy has put
all marines ION their toes" to serve
the nation whenever needed, is fur
nished in the happenings of the col
lapse of the Knickerbocker Theatre
The roof of the Inflated building FELL
shortly after eight o'clock on the eve
ming of January %. A few minutes
after the disaster, private of mar
ines, whose name has never been as
certained, telephoned the news to
Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Y. Rhea
commanding officer of the marines al
the Washington navy yard. Without
awaiting authority or orders from any.
