The next morning report was
brought to Chief Shickle that three

careful search of the ship, failed
to bring forth any clue as to the
whereabouts of the missing frank
furters, so an extra watch was
placed about the storeroom. In
spite of this a few more yards OF
wieners were missing that same
night, and although the stewards
on watch swore that they had not
closed their eyes for a single sec"

positive that the sausages did not
vanish into thin air and decided to
make a careful search himself.
The searchers looked high and
low, but not sign of anything
out of the ordinary. While they
were in the store room a steward
came to get some sauerkraut. he
took a hammer and hit the head

blow and was rewarded by ter

the barrels. The first one eX-
planned that on getting aboard the
ship they had emptied the sauer:

a portfolio and proceeded to hide
in the empty barrels.

TyAkE it from Paul schickle,
chief steward Of the steam
= ship George Washington of
the United States lines, that some
travellers in quest of the new
world move in a most mysterious
way to attain their objective. On
a recent trip to New York from
Bremen the joVial chief steward
almost lost his smile because of a
series of encounters with voyagers
who sought by various subter-
fuges to avoid the payment of
fare.
According to custom, the captain
ordered the mastef-at-arms to
make a careful search of the ship
as soon as she left Bremen in
order to locate any passengers
who had figured on travelling at
the lines expense instead of their
own. The master-at-arln set
forth and soon located stowaways
numbers one and two, supposedly
safely hidden in the covered life
boats, perfectly oblivious to the
fact that covered life boat is,
in ninety.nine times out of a
hundred the first place to be
searched.
In one of the boats the searcher
found an unusual, number of life
preservers and was plainly puz-
Zled for a moment. Then, with
a detective instinct almost equal
ing that of Shirtless Jones, made
a search Of the life preserver
store boxes on deck and found
one that was minus life pre-
servers, but very much plus with
a trembling stowaway, bringing
the total to three.
Further searching failed to bring
to light any more free tourists, and
he decided that they had all been
found. The following day Chief
Schickle was informed that a dozen
big pies had disappeared, and at
first thought that there had possibly
been an error in counting, but
when on the next night there was
a recurrence of the affair, he de-
cided that it was high time to in
vestigate and set a watch in the

SCHOOL JAILSI
FOR GERMAN
YOUTHS

TIE r L I N.-The outstanding
feature of the new code of
- juvenile laws now being
drafted by the German Reichstag
is the substitution of training
schools and educational measures
for prisons and punishment.
The latter method, it is now
realized in Germany as in other
progressive countries, betokens a
distinct danger of youthful of
tenders. Hitherto the entire mat
ter of juvenile courts and Juvenile
boards Of education has been left
to the jurisdiction of the various
German states, but 1t is now pro.
posed SO to redraft these laws as
to make them operative through.
out the entire German republic.
The penal age of youthful of.
tenders is to be raised from
twelve to fourteen years. and
while in principle the work of
The juvenile courts will cease
with the age of eighteen, proVis.
ion will be made for exceptional
cases whereby the Jurisdiction of
the court may extend beyond this
age.
The office of judge of the juVe.
nile court will be combined with
that of the presiding officer of
the so-called ''trusteeship court"
in order that the proceedings may
be invested with more of an edu-
cational character. In each case
before the court the judge is TO
have the assistance of two per
sons, either men or women, who
are identified with welfare work
among the young, and are, there
fore, peculiarly fitted to give, adj
vice.
Thus close contact will be es.
tablished between the juvenile
courts and the Juvenile boards,
the latter OF which is the con-
verging point of all welfare work
among the youth of the country.
The public is TO be vigorously
excluded from all the proceedings
of the juvenile court. Only when
educational measures prove in.
effective in turning the youthful
offender from the error of his
ways, is punishment to be resort
ed to, and even then, not the
maximum penalty. This is inter
preted to mean that capital pun
ishment. whatever the offense, is
not to be inflicted upOn anyone
indicted under the ruling OF the
juvenile court.

Income Tax Dodgers

London, England.-What happens to
the people in Great Britain who do
not pay their income tax has been told
by an official of the inland revenue,
who declares there are about 1000
such delinquents now in Jail, compared
with 1,162 two years ago.
Plenty of time is given by the au-
thorities for payment said this official,
and In cases where II can be shown
that funds are not available easy
methods are devised. In other cases,
after a certain interval, notice Is
sent to the defaulter that the tax must
be remitted by certain date-usually
ten days time. If that is disregarded
more urgent notice Is sent and three
days grace given. After that dis
tress warrant against the defaulter's
goods is obtained. Those who are
imprisoned for default are generally
single or have no seizableJ property Of

very well equipped with cupboards and

Our second floor has two bedrooms

could be utilized as sleeping porch
In mild weather.
1t is undeniable that much Of the at
tractiveness Of this type Of a house
comes from having Its grounds proper
ly landscaped, to take away from II
any appearance of stiffness. Observe
how the shrubbery in the foreground
has softening influence in this re-
srect. II the lot has one or two large
trees, so much the better; trees do
much for a house In the way of giving
1t picturesque setting. and with a
tile roof there could be no objection on
the score of continued dampness and
rotting on account of too much shade
on the roof.
Observe that a shelf below the front
windows Is suitable for flower boxes,
and also that the wide porch coping
also lends itself to treatment in this
respect.
This type of house lends itself par
ucularly well to situation on a corner
lot. Thus, the porch would not be at
the front, but would be at the side of
the front Of the house, with the other,
the. sun porch. overlooking the other
