as a suicide, but protests Of his
father, on return from France,
brought about the arrest of Capt.
Robert Rosenbluth and an enlisted
man for the killing. Rosenbluth,
however, obtained release in New
York A United States commits
sioner held the Federal Court had
no jurisdiction since Cronkhite's
death did not occur on Federal
property.
Public review of Cronkhite's kill
ing also is possible, it is declared
in Congressional circles.
Weeks Caused Inquiry.
Secretary of War Weeks said he
had brought about an investigation
of Cronkhite's death by the De-
partment of Justice and every eff
fort had been made to unravel the
mystery.
The War Department said under
the circumstances it was impossible
for General Cronkhite to render
active service and due to a shortage
of officers in. the army it was neces-
sary for him to perform active duty
If he remained.
In April, 1921, General Cronkhite
was ordered to command the
Panama Canal department. He
made an Intellectual effort to have
the order rescinded that he might
remain in this country until his
sons slayers were brought to JUS
tice.
The Cronkhite killing probe was
dropped by the Attorney
General on the grounds of lack of
Federal jurisdiction. Cronkhite made
a protest on that occasion to the
Secretary of War.

STREETS AND SIDEWALKS

Two matters Of importance. pertain ing to safety and convenience, come up in the days news. They have to do with the rights and duties Of pedestrians. Principal Louis r. Slade has requested that students in the senior high school-and it should ap- ply 10 all students in ali schools give half the sidewalk 10 people going in the opposite direction. The other matter is the statement issued by the motor vehicle department, calling at- tention to the habit Of people going home from work in the factories Of walking on the traveled portion of the highways instead of on the walks provided for pedestrians. The state ment says that this has created more of g problem this year than in the past, and warns Of the danger.
 In regard to tho school students there is a good roason other than the obvious one, for urging that they give half of the walk 10 others going iu the opposite direction. Naturally one secs the unpleasant situation caused by groups of students taking up the whole walk when fl is not necessary 10 do so. But quite aside from this the emphasizing of courtesy is one of the features Of education. and Il IS well that this matter is being called to the attention Of the youug people who. in their students days, should realize that The proper amenities are to b. observed as well as practical iu- formation gained from their books. No matter how hard students have i,eeH working in school. and no matter h0W eager they are to get some where when leaving. OF no matter how anxious they may be tO discuss some matter in groups as they pass along the WaIk, they sH0ai8 rememUar that others have worked quite as hard during the morning hours as have they and are quite as eager 10 get somewhere" at that hour. But even ir this were not so. q proper recognition l Of the rights of others and a desire to 1 show proper courtesy to others should l impei students. even the very young. i to follow Principal slade's sugges- ton.

SCRApPING OLD IDEAS

The other day The Herald tried to point out few important aspects of true economy. The idea was that true economy came in increasing efficiency and cutting out waste. rather than in taking other obvious means of reduc- ing expenses.
 Edward A. EIlcnc writes interest ingly on this subject in Golfers and in commenting upon his article the tditor of that weekly quotes George Bernard Shaw's words: Nothing is rarar in nature than a man who. on accepting new idea. proceeds to overhaul his old ideas and see how many of them must be scrappcd to make logical room for the newcomer. '
 There is ample room in ones brain for innumcrabIe ideas unless they are antag gonistic. When an idea becomes conviction it is quite necessary. in order 10 have that conviction free to dictate, to put away the old ideas or convictions which will keep on fight ing against the invader unless it is thrown into the discard.
 For a long time it has been the habit of those who would save on running expenses to turn their atten- ton more to what is going out" than to thought of increasing what is com ing in" That economy which elimin- ates waste and increases efficiency, al- thought requiring no reduction in the expenditure of cash is true economy and the only sort that will allow keep ing abreast of progress and increasing the field possible to be covered,
 Mr. Filene's article deals with busi- ress and manufacture. His argu- ments. however, apply perfectly to any other endeavor. Reduction Of the denominator in the matter of saving has been emphasized quite long enough. The same result may be ob- tained by increasing the nominator with tho added advantage that by so doing one Is progressing and not con tracing in power and influence.
