Are Criminals Made in Jailo

After serving a sentence of four
years in Jail. Grant Madison Hervey,
an Australian editor is convinced
that penitentiaries are nothing more
nor less than official schools of
crime. People who talk of Le.lin
and Trotzky as the creators of the
anarchic avalanche, he says IN 1.-THE
Forum" have no sense of psyche
logical or historic proportion. Such
men are simply the prominent So
cial driftHood of their time. like the
trunk of a~fallen tree, or the dis
tended carcass of a mule, floating
toward the Gulf of Mexico, when the
Mississippi is in full flood. 1t is the
quiet literary men who really sow
that whirlwind which we know by
the diabolical name of revolution.
Alexander Berkman, for instance,
twenty or thirty years ago, shot at
Mr.. Frick. Mr.. Frick was one of
Andrew Carnegie's steel-works man
ayers. Berkman was an idealist, "a
young fool-Anarchist. with roar
ing hive of bees in his bonnet.
Berkman, as a result of the F'rick
incident. went to the Periitentiary of
pennsylvania for fifteen years. When
he came out he wrote a book To-
day. that book is Communlstic
classic throughout the world. It is
pored over by sore-headed young
men and women of the revolution
airy persuasion in MelboIr1e and
Sydney, in Glasgow and Dundee. it
teaches our aggressive gospel of de-
structive anarchism. And the people
o.. Pennsylvania paid for the writing
of that book.
Ohio is a great state. It's forty
one thousand square miles of terri

than~the entire Commonwealth of
Australia. But how many convicts
have its prisons contained, since

came of them in after life.-that is
what I want to know. It is no good

Miraaes Of the North

Similar in origin to the mirage of
the desert are the mock suns of the
Arctic circle. AS the long winter
night of the polar region wanes, once
every "a hours light glow is seen
at some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow is seen the
phenomenon Of the mock suns. Up
in the heavens as many as five of
these spectral orbs have been seen at
once. Invariably they are all con-
nected in geometric figure. the suns
seemingly being bound together with
circles and arcs Of light. Often when
only one appears 1t is mistaken for
the real sun, and natives rejoice at
the early end of the long winter night
only to be disappointed as the image
disappears. The explanation of the
phenomenon is given by physicists as
refraction and reflection of light from
the real sun-below the horizon on the
mists in the upper atmosphere.

For the Cough
That Sticks
Common Cough Syrups Won't Help
You've Got to Make Your
Own
Cheap and Best

For any kind of cough. but esq
pecially for the stubborn one that
persists and Keeps you awake nights
this home made cough mixture will
quickly loosen the phlegm, allay the
Inflammation and stop the cough.
You can make it yourself at home
in two minutes by following these
instructions:
Get from any druggist one ounce
of Parmint double strength)-to
this add little graduated sugar
and enough water to make enc half
pint-that's all there is to it, and
children like it.
Like a soothing. healing poultice
one costly substance in this home
made mixture spreads itself COM
pletely over the membrane of the
throat. This causes the most stub
born hang-on cough to cease almost
instantly. No ordinary slow-acting
cough syrup contains this expensive
ingredient.
It's q mighty fine remedy for
chest colds and acute nasal catarrh.
and remember that any remedy that
overcomes catarrh. partially or
wholly. is bound to be of benefit
to those who are troubled with head
noises and catarrhal deafness.
Get Parmint and get better.-Adv.

May Train Reserve
ElierS At Portland

Portland, Nov. 22.-While aviation
reserve system plans of the Navy
Department, providing for the train
ing of between $50 and 200 expert
fiiers annually, announced today, do
not mean a great deal to Portland
at the present time, 1t is hoped and
expected that the local naval reserve
will be in a position by next summer
to takeIan active part in the new
plans for the training, of f1iers.
At the present time the matter of
another local naval reserve division
is being mapped out and If this be-
comes a fact there lis little doubt
but that something in the aviation
line will he done around this city.
Lieut.. A. Lincoln King of the
Portland Naval Reserve Division
was in Boston last night and at
tended meeting at which the new
plans of the Navy Department were
discussed. Considerable work along
these new lines has been accom-
plished in Massachusetts, and by
December first it is expected that 10
expert fliers will have been produc-
ed from raw material, men who have
never been in the game before their
present training. This work has been
C1TTieu Out at oQudnLuHl, MdSS.,
during the past year and within a
short time night training is to be
held at the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology. With the enlargement
of the local reserve force it is hoped
to bring about at least partial train
ing in this section along aviation
lines.
Embodied in the navy program is
the basis of new policy which, it is
said, constitutes the first concrete
step toward building the air service
of the fleet to the strength required
by modern tactics.
In each naval district Gin which
the public is sufficiently interested, u
there will be organized and maintain
ed a reserve aviation unit capable
of turning out a minimum of 10 pilots
a year. The newly established re-
serve will b kept to a fixed strength
by this annual influx of new blood.
Administration and training will he

trict in which the unit is located

when in his opinion that conditions
warrant.
The commandant also will be au-
thorized to obtain a suitable location
for the hangers and warehouses in
which the planes and other equip
ment to be furnished by the bureau
of aeroiautics, are to be kept.
Equipment for standard reserve
training units will consist of two
training planes and $50 per cent of
spare parts and such additional air
craft and material "as the resources
of the department can afford.
Owing to the shortage of funds"
the announcement says, 1.-THE de
partment must look to the civil au?
thorities of the community in which
the nit is to be established, for CO.
operation and material assistance
in obtaining those items which cur
rent appropriations cannot under
take.
