CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-As detective
chiefs were preparing to strengthen
their drive on crime by adding sixty
policemen with heroic records to the de-
tective bureau, two major robberies, a
$4,000 burglary and several hold-ups
were perpetrated here today.
AT the same time the body of Jack
Cherbo, twice indicted for murder in con-
nection with a taxicab war. was found
near Aurora, suburb, and superior

John Phillips, gangster, was slain in
a North Shore cabaret.

THE KILLING PRACTICE OF
KILLING TIME

IL has been estimated that APP
proximately fifty men are constant
ly killing time in watching operat-
ions in the building of the new
structure over the canal at Bridge
street, A number that equals the
number of men engaged in the
work, Think of It'll Fifty men to
grunt while fifty men do the work!
The Canal Company has estimated
80 actual working days in which to
complete the job. An average of so
men a day for that time at eight
hours day, would be 10000 hours
wasted during the 80 days. If these
men were worth only soc an hour,
they would represent a loss in time
of $6,000.00l Think of it!
No matter if some of them ARE
out of work, there are always odd
jobs they can be doing at home. 1t
might be embarrassing to some of
those idlers to admit that their bet
ter halves have been after them for
months to paint a floor, or mend a
broken chair, or build a shelf, or
clean up the cellar, or thousand
and one other things our better
halves are always wanting donei

LET NO GUILTY WAN ESCAPE

The Coolidge administration is
threatened with a situation in the
naval oil lease cases that recalls
the distressing trouble which Presi-
dent Grant encountered during his
second term. Corruption in high
places, touching political and person.
al associates, was proved in the ear
lier instance. In the course of the
discriminating disclosures President
Grant received communication sug-
costing that his private secretary
was involved. He instantly wrote
across it the words which have come
down to us as quotable phrase:
Let no guilty man escape"
1t was always difficult to persuade
Grant of any wrongdoing on the
part of one to whom he had given
his confidence, He was inclined to
resent attacks on his associates or
subordinates as attacks on himself.
His own character was unimpeach-
able, and it was not easy for him
to think wrong of others. But while
his confidence might be betrayed, it
could not be used by isnister in
fiuences to shield wrong-dong. And
he was man of few words, es-
pecially when action was called for.
President Coolidge is of that type.
The guilt of any person is yet to
be proved in connection with the oil
leases. But the present occupant
of the White House has, in effect,
delivered the same honest, wise and
stern utterance, Let no guilty man
escape!"-Providence Journal.

is OFTEN A BLESSING IN
DISGUISE

Discipline is one of the masters
in complicated and diversified civ
ilization. 1t checks the selfish i'm
pulse and protects the common priv
liges of all, as well as teaches the
individual self-eontrol. Without it
an army would futile mob.
A school without discipline breeds
contempt for authority, and thwarts
the efforts of instructors. That's
one reason why I'm writing this!
Recently in the local schools one
of the teachers overheard a pupil
making contemptuous and, $50 some
Think insulting remarks about the
school and its instructors. 1t was
reported to the Board of Education,
and that body decided, after due in
vestigation in which the pupil test
flied that the pupil should be dis
eiplined. Accordingly the pupil was
told he must apologize to those he
had offended before he could return
to school.
But the pupil refused to apollo
gize, and he remained away from
school. In the meantime, some in
fluence was brought to bear, with
the result that the pupil appeared
in school one morning with note
from the president of the Board of
Education, authorizing him to at
tend school again.
And here is where the lack of
discipline begins its breaking down
of order: CERTAIN OTHER PUP
Ills IN THE ROOM BEGAN TO
NOISILY CHEER HIM
If this pupil was NOT in the
wrong, then he should not have been
threatened with discipline. But if he
was in the wrong, then serious
mistake was made by the author
tiles in allowing him to return to
school without the apology. The
Board was to blame either way.
The boy who grows up with a
wholesome respect for his super
iors is bound to make good citi-
zen. But the one who is humored
i'll his petty contemptuousness for
those in authority will develop an
arrogance which will some day be
his ruin. A swift kick in the pants

Here where my window fronts the

Come ships from every port and

Bright painted craft of gaudy hues
And lowly tramps as old as time.
They sail the seven seas of earth
In intercourse of trade and toll;
They weave an unseen web that
binds
The nations in a mighty coil.
For ships are shuttles in the loom
That weaves the warp and wool
of life;
And when the fabric is complete
The nations will no more know
