Saturday evening on the State high
way leading from Dover Foxcroft to
Guilford and about a mile outside of
the village.
Several cars passed the demolish-

it was not until James Cairns came
along some time after the accident,
bound for North Dexter, that Ames
was discovered
Cairns. seeing the damaged car,
stopped to investigate and upon APP

moaning sound, which proved to be
from the lips of the injured man.
Ames was at once taken to the hos

He said that his oil had not been
working properly and that he had
been bending over watching the in
strument on the dash, and in some
manner lost control of the car and
pitched down over a 15-foot en-
bankment, the car turning over
twice.

A REBUKE FROM THE BENCH

In the midst of a trial of two youths
charged with statutory offense, a
Kansas City Judge recently observed a
number Of women among the spectators
They were club women, and were al
tending the trial in body. The Judge
in whom the spirit of independence was
manifestly strong. saw in the spectacle
an untoward significance.
"If you good women" he addressed
the club members, "think that Ivy ap-
|pearing publicly in a court of justice,
in body. you are affecting the court
in its decision you have another guess
coming. 1t is proper for you to take
interest in seeing that violations of the
juvenile court law and crimes are
properly punished. II you and other
persons would look up the testimony,
find new testimony and aid the prosecut-
ing officers and the courts in the ad-
ininistration of the law it would be high
ly commendable. But it might prejudice
a judge against case for any outside
influence whatever to be brought TO
bear III the pr3greS; of a trial. I don't
care what associations or organizations,
or whether they are lawless or good
intentioned, it is not the proper thing
10 Co."
Just what were the intentions of those
club women is a matter that is not sub
ject to proof. Nevertheless, appearances
were against those whom the judge was
addressing, and doubtless he had OBJ
served other presumable attempts to in
fluence his decisions.
While what he said to the club women
in this case was probably pertinent he
might well have extended his remarks
to include a negative remissness on the
part of mary people who seem to think
that their responsibility begins in the
court room rather than at home. II such
people-assuming them to be capable of
exercising a wholesome influence upon
the young-would devote more of their
time to the proper upbringing OF their
own children, there would be fewer
trials for them to attend

WORK-THE CURE ALL

When people are sick, the age-old GUS
tom has been to put them to bed. But
it would be interesting to know the total
OF eases" that escaped serious illness BY
the determination to keep going. There
is no doubt whatever that will power as
cxcnlplified in such circumstances has a
mighty effect in fighting off illness.
Reasoning somewhat along the same
lines, Z. J. Fogarty, warden of the In
diana state prison where several hun
dred insane criminals are confined. is
accomplishing wonderful cures through
the use of intelligently applied work In
stead of locking the insane criminals in
cells and keeping them in idleness, War
den Fogarty has devised system Of
work suited to the individual capabili-
ties OF the insane men so that although
crazy. they are employed practically all
of their waking hours.
Not all of the insane men are cured
Many of them are incurable But a per-
centage of them are restored to normal
and many of them are vastly improved.
This applies particularly TO certain con-
ditions of mental ailments. None of
them at least, are harmed by the treat
ment. incidentally they aid in reducing
the cost Of their support.
The warden's contention is that men
who work, sleep and eat better and that
men who sleep we'll and cat we'll usually
think better. Following that line of rea-
sOring, he undertakes to surround these
insane prisoners with conditions con-
ducive to physical exertion and quiet
mental state.
The purpose of the work assigned to
these convicts is purely for their better
ment and not an economic measure.
The warden causes them to work in an
effort to Cure them and they are care
FULLY observed from day to day in order
to determine how they are progressing
under various kinds of employment.
Most busy men in the workaday world
are aware that without work, there is
not a normal mental condition. Men OF
leisure, who happily do not form large
class in this country, are seldom normal
or useful members of society as a class.
Not only are they non-productive, but
their minds seem to develop injurious
and useless ideas as contrasted with the
minds of workers who give vent to IDEAS

A STIRRING CHAPTER.

A Lorain county woman dies within
five hours of her 93rd birthday. The
span of human life is short and soon
covered even life as far beyond
the average as this one, when COM
pared with the agesold rtrrative OF
mankind. By another comparison how
long % years seem in the retrospect.
This nongenarian was born in 1880.
OF the LAT years of our national life,
counting from the Declaration, her life
covered well over three-fifths. Andrew
jackson had BEEN President only a
year and half when she was born.
His famous message to South Caro-
lima on the subject Of notification was
still two years in the future. The
formation of the Wing party TO fight
Jackson-what a vain thought was
that-was still four years away.
Eighteen-thirty was the year of the
great Webster-Hayne DEBATE in he
Senate. In that same year Stephen
sons "Rocket" made its trial trip
over the Liverpool and Manchester
railroad, attaining the maddenfng
speed of 80 miles an hour. In that
year, too, locomotive built by Peter
Cooper raced horse near Baltimore
and lost. The 4ailroad in America was
still a dream; when one wanted to go
anywhere he took a canal. if one hap
pened 20 ne handy; otherwise, he
walked, drove or went horseback. This
woman of 93 had seen four American
wars and had near relatives in eacI.
No radio, no telegraph or telephone,
no airplane. auto. bicycle. talking ma

electric lights or electric cars or any
other of the myriad adaptations of

a short ;tretch--what a lcrg stretch
is single human life. But If one
could choose the particular period in
worlt history history to liv" ones own
allotted span. has there been a time
since man took his first faltering steps
on n strange and awesome earth when
one could crowd into it as many OBJ
servations of human progress as the
period now closing, particularly if

There are instances of overwork, it j;
true but those who underworld are fal
more numerous Men who have work tc
do, who like their employment and who
are industrious and ambitious arc the
best citizens and the happiest individuals
Quitting work at times is necessary
when mental or bodily strength for any
reason, are at low ebb. But work is a
normal condition for most of US and con-
tributes to a normal existence.
1T is said that as a result of the war
den's experiments in Indiana. more than
twenty other institutions in which there
is an insane problem among the inmates,
have adopted work as the best method
OF treatment.
1t, is seldom that idleness is an aid to
anybody. Even. people taking rest are
often benefited more by change of en-
ployment than by total cessation OF
all active work.
Work is by no means a hardship. 1t

Not only is work necessary for proper

DREAMING IN THE TRENCHES.

l picture her there in the quaint old room
Where the fading freight starts and falls.
Alone in the twilight's tender gloom
With the shadows that dance on the dmlit
walls.
Alone, while those faces look silently down
From their antique frames in grim repose-
Slight scholarly Ralph in his Oxford gown
And stanch Sir Alan, who died for Montrose
There are gallants gay in crimson and gold
There are smiling beauties with powdered hair
But she sits there, fairer a thousand-fold
Leaning dreamiy back in her low armchair
And the roseate shadows of fading light
Softly clear steal over the sweet young face
Where a woman's tenderness blends tonight
With the guileless pride of knightly race.
Her hands lie clasped in listless way
On the old Romahce-which she holds on her
knee
OF Tristram. the bravest of knights in the fray,
And Iseult, who waits by the sounding sea.
And her proud, dark eyes wear a softened look
As she watches the dying embers fall:
Perhaps she dreams Of the knight in the book
Perhaps of the pictures that smile on the wall.
What fancies wonder are thronging her brain,
For her cheeks flush warm with crimson
glow!
But I'd give my life to believe 1t so!
WELL whether j ever march home again
To offer my love and a stainless name,
Or whether / die at the head of my men
I'll be true to the end all the same.

sense understanding regarding repara-
tons.
Now France, so far as the official
attitude of Germany is concerned, can
proceed unhindered to collect the
reparations which she profesSedly sought
when size entered the Rahr. No. longer
will the Germans, either en- masse or
individually, oppose her in that enter
prise.
But the French are beginning to sing
another tune, now that resistance to
their Ruhr project has been withdrawn.
When they launched that project they
declared to the world that they simply
must collect reparations from Germany
to avoid bankruptcy on their own ac-
count. They would starve If Germany
didn't pay; they didn't say exactly that,
but they evidently tried to create such
an impression. What kind of tune are
they singing now?
On the same day Germany's abandon
ment of passive resistance was an
nounced, Paris correspondent reported
that influential Frenchmen and power
tul French interests were assuming that
position that national security" or
national defense" had become more
important than the collection of repara-
tons. In fact. these Frenchmen were
represented as having said. France might
get along" without another cent from
Germany. How? Why. by doing pre-
cisely what neutral observers long ago
suggested-namely. cutting military ex-
.penses.
So, if these Frenchmen correctly
represent the attitude Of their country's
government, the suspicious of the Eng
lish and of others who have condemned
the Ruhr project may yet be confirmed.
What is the present attitude of the
leading French industrialsts? Some
time ago they professed desire to eff
feet rapprochement with the German
industrialists. headed by Hugo SHINES.
But upon the failure of Germany's
policy of passive resistance their cupiditv
seems to have been whetted to the keen
est edge. Apparently they purpose to
bring about the utter ruination of Ger
many, industrially. The world, they say,
is surfeited with steel and iron produce
ton, so that it would be "a good thing"
for France, Great Britain, Belgium and
even the United States if the German
industrials should be put out of business
permanently.
America might thank the French to
leave her out of any such perfidious
reckoning. This country is not in the
habit of making its international calcula-
tons on that basis.
What may come of the French pro-
ject, no one can reasonably pretend. to
foresee. But if France should press on
in the direction in which she seems to
be headed, it would require no fanatical
faith in the resolving processes of time
to anticipate for that nation fate no
more unenviable than that which was
planned for her in 1914 by the overload
OF those whom she has vanquished.
