Excess Baggage
BY Hal COCHRAN.

Ambition is stalling; vacation Is
calling. The family is ready for
sport. Then father declares, let US
pack UP our wares, and We'll HE to
summer resort.
So sistes. and brother, and don't
forget mother. start getting their
summer clothes out. They're spread
on the bed from the foot to the head;
they will take all they've got-just
about!
The trunk is spread open while all
three are dopin' Just how they will
get their things in. And gosh only
knows, that the outlay of clothes,
makes them wonder just where to
begin.
Clothes come from the rack as
they pack and they pack, cause
they're taking most everything but
the clothes that they wear. Now the
trunks filed, with care and with
trouble they get the thing shut.
Then father walks in and he
breaks into grin cause he knows it's
the truth, for fac, that HE'S
been forsaken; the things. he'll be
takin' are the clothes that he wears
on his back.

Are fish found in great depths
Of the ocean very strongly built
to resist the great pressure at
such depths?
No. on the contrary, their bony
and muscular systems are feebly de-
veloped. Pressure at great depths is
great, but 1t acts not only inside as
well as outside the fish, but inside
and outside each cell of the fish as
we'll. and there is no more tendency
for the fish to be crushed than for a
human body to be crushed on the
earth by the fifteen pounds of air
pressure per square inch which all
bodies tat sea leveD on the earth are
subjected to. Deep sea fish are
adapted to the pressures which they
must stand.

u. S. STRONG
NEAR OWN
SHORE LINE
Bigger Navy Needed for
Fight in Foreign
Waters.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART

NEA SeTDfC6 WTtt6T
r " = ASEINGTON, Aug. 12.-Any
WI power, except England, that
undertook to fight America
in her own waters would need a
navy at least twice as strong as
Americas to fight on anything like
even terms.
England is an exception because
she has adequate bases close to
Americas shores.
But there is no likelihood of such
a conflict.
America, to fight any other naval
power in that powers own waters
would need a navy at least twice as
strong as the others to fight on even
| terms.
This is especially true of the Pa
cific because the distances there are
so great. In the event of Pacific
conflict the fighting certainly would
be in enemy waters.
Under the armament limitation
agreement the powers are placed on
naval ratio of FIVE each for Amer
lea and England. three for Japan
and LIS each for France and Italy.
The ACTUAL RATIO Of the Elk
listing NAVIES IS ABOUT:
England. 5; America, 3.5; Japan, g.
France, LIS; Italy. 1.
United States Weak Spots
Americas principal weaknesses
are:
Lack Of p-to-dateness in her CAPT
tai ships. Only five of her battle
ships are Of post-Jutland equipment.
Nearly a GO per cent shortage in
the number Of her first line cruisers.
Submarine inadequacies.
insufficient personnel.
Lack Of well-defended overseas
bases.
Americas auxiliary feet is numeri
cally sufficient but too slow.
Her strength is in destroyers.
Though Of such hasty war construc-
ton that about 1875 are practically
worthless, she has so many-a total
Of 274-that she nevertheless is at
an advantage. She badly needs
however, ten destroyer flotilia lead
ers-vessels about midway between
a destroyer and very light cruiser.
In measuring the worlds navies
against one another, it's natural es-
pecially to compare Americas with
Japan's.
Japan and United States
There's been a little friction be-
tween America and Japan. And
there are huge interests which would
gain by an apanese war.
Interests which would profit by war
are apt TO encourage 1t.
America is an extremely formida-
BILE trade rival now.
Is 1t surprising IL Europe would
like to win her old prestige back?
And wouldn't Europe certainly do
that very thing II America and
Japan should have a war?

QUICK 81 VS.
KILLERS NOT
EXCUSABLE
Herbert Quick Scores Plea
Made in Behalf of
Chicago Youth.
BY HERBERT QUICK.


EFT us assume for moment
i'll that the testimony of the
- mind experts who are testi-
flying for the defense in the great
Franks murder case is true. These
men stand high and are no doubt
telling what they regard as the
truth.
If what they say is true, the
young men who killed the little
Franks boy are intellectually able
but emotionally underdeveloped.
They have no conscience. They have
no pity. They have certain abnor-
NAL impulses. From the unprintable
nature of what one expert strangely
chooses to call their Childish COM
| pact" some at least of these abnor.
NAL impulses must be related to sex
| perversion. Such being their condi-
ton, they are. the experts say, men,
tally ailing. They do not say in
sane, but they must mean what we
all think when we hear the word
| insanity.
Interest to Society
The testimony is adduced for the
purpose of getting the judge to miti-
| gate their punishment. Society has
some interest in this contention. Ev-
cry once in a While monster crini-
nal appears. Recently in Germany
a human vampire was shown to have
murdered many people for the pur-
pose of drinking their blood and he
had an acconplice who aided him
for no other purpose than to be able
to sell their clothes. The Bender
family in Kansas half century ago
cold-bloodedly murdered for money.
Sixty years ago man named Rulof
was hanged for numbering one wife
after another in New York.
All these cases and many others
have been marked by the same lack
of pity, the same absence of con-
science, which their witnesses say
characterize Leopold and Loeb.
1t may show mental Illness" Il
may prove that these boys have not
the emotions Of pity which hold
most Of us back from such crimes, 1t
may indicate that they are intel
lectually manned and deformed; but
does it argue that they should not
be put out of the way? Are not all
crimes committed in cold blood proof
OF a mental illness" Of the criminal
of the same sort, and differing only
in degree? If this is defense,
where does it lead? Does it not lead
to the position that the more pitiless
the nature of the criminal the less
does he deserve the extreme penalty?
The absence Of conscience, instead Of
increasing the guilt, mitigates it.
Dangerous
This is not common sense. What
ever this mental health or disease
may. be. criminals with perfectly
sound intellects are all the more
dangerous to society when they are
sex perverts devoid of conscience
and pity and governed by abnormal
impulses.
Oscar Wilde was such a person,
whose. impulses did not, however.
lead him to kill British law dealt
with him on the basis of refusal to
consider these impulses as mitigating
circumstances. Society has an in
terest in the extirpation of human
growths which are one hundred per
cent evil. 1t is worth while to pro-
test against doctrine that when a
criminals nature becomes pure evil
its deeds are any more excusable.

To INC Editor Of The Times :

To the Editor Of The Times
Fl HAVE often wondered about
the marriage vows we take,
and have seen so many
marriages that were failures. Men
and women both do not take the
vows seriously enough. I, for one,
believe so much in the marriage vow
that IS taken before God and man
that If one or the other, husband or
wife, goes out and deliberately
breaks their vow, it is no marriage
in the sight Of God. 1 believe that
is why so many have separations or
II they continue living together are
rot happy. Marriage vows are
handled too lightly these days.

Plant about the first part of Au-
