On July 10, the people of the

These boys had shot a policeman

They were duly arrested, tried and

by the neck and then returned to

This was the only solution as yet
found for the murder problem by an
educated white community in the
year Of Our Lord, 1925.
In the following week letter ap-
pcared in a local paper deriding the
newspapers which did not approve
of this solution.
What consolation do such papers
hold out TO children and dependents
who were deprived of their protector
and providcr by cold-blooed Gssasins?

1t is not the object of this article
to discuss the sentimental aspects
of capital punishment. IF JUSTICE
CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED ON
A FIRMER BASIS THAN THAT
OF SENTIMENTALITY IT IS
USELESS.
The advocates of capital punish
mcnt claim it is a practical solution
the best arrangement for all con-
cerncd. We will therefore discuss it
from that angle. Is capital punish

teal arrangement? Does it pay?
IS IT GOOD ECONOMICS?

We hung Lewis Perry. He was
nineteen. He was exceptionally
strong and healthy. He left, TO OUR
CARE, rniddle-aged, frail mother,
absolutely penniless.
All her life Mrs. Perry has Strug
gled with poverty. Her husband died
when her three sons were small. She
was unable to care for them. The
State docs not concern itself greatly
with the little sons of penniless
widows. But when those sons. faint

have been thrown, endanger the
society which ignored their need the

This it did to the three sons of Mrs.

mental development. he was strong
and able to do work. He left, TO
OUR CARE, an aged father and

We hung Tom Bailey. He was
twenty-five. His nerves were shat

he could have been cured and made

OUR CARE, an old, a very frail

We hung these three boys because
they killed a policeman who tried to

That's a heavy bill for the COM

care for one frail. aging person you
will appreciate the labor, worry and

might still be good economies if these

Meditations of
a Wife
Mans Greatest Charm.
By Helen Rowland

ANASAA 49, ~S-N~SN 49,
Now, my Daughter. there dwelt in
Babylon a bachelor whose charm and
popularity exceeded those Of all other
men.
For his line was good and his
waistline trim and his understanding
of women and motor-cars was perfect.
Behold. matrons coveted him for
their dinner parties and sought to
lure him to their tea dances.
Debutantes pursued him with invita-
tons and flappers hung upon his
telephone. wire. Widows fed him
from their larders and confided their
sorrows unto him. And all women
followed after him and Undergraduates
upon his door.
Yea, verify. many pursued him
but none caught up with him.
And he said in his heart, Now
what Is this fatal charm about me
which NO woman can resist? Yea.
WHY do they all fall for me. even
before ] am there TO catch them?'
Now II came to pass that in his
conceit the bachelor waxed careless
so that he lost his balance and fell
in love with damSel a little more
subtitle than all the rest.
And, behold. before he awoke from
his coma she had MARRIED him!
Thereupon. he found himself sud-
denly cut off from the world of wo-
men. For, 10, all his devotees and
pursucrs dropped from him as leaves
in 4 frost and he was invited no more
to the houses of the widows or the
pctting parties of the younger set.
And when damsels passed him upon
the street, they nodded icily and
were always in a hurry" Yea. at
the club dances, he found himself
gathered in a corner with the stays.
Then the bridegroom sought COM
fort from his wife, saying:
Now, what have / DONE, that
I have lost favor in the eyes of wo-
men? Alas, why have l, who was.
the carbureter of every party, be-
come but a knock in the engine?"
And she rumpled his hair and
spake tenderly. saving:
"Alas, my Beloved, knowest thou
not that. by marrying thou didst lose
thy greatest charm for women? For,
verify, thy line is as good as ever.
thy waistline is as trim and thy
dancing is as graceful. Yet, thy
bachelOrhood has fallen from thee.
Yea, thou art no longer ELIGIBLE ~
Verify. verify, every man thinketh
in his heart that it is his personal
beauty and his fatal fascination
which maketh him desirable in the
eyes Of women. For he perceiveth nor
in his blindness that n mans great
est charm is his BACHELORHOOD!

Englisk Writer Tells
"TalI' Fish Stories

The winter garden Of the Savoy
hotel, London, was the scene OF dou-
BILE tragedy few weeks ago. For
many years two goldfish, named En-
nest and Eva, made their home In the
fountain there. Guests from all parts
of the world admired them, for the
fish were famous on account Of their
tricks.
As soon as cork was put in the
water, Ernest would leap over 1t in
q fash Of gold, and sometimes would
turn somersault in the air. One day,
however, thsughtless guest ficked
some cigar ash into the fountain. and
the Ash were poisoned
Another notable goldfish died recent
ly. His name was Peter, and for four
teen years he lived In the garden
fountain Of st. Andrew-by-the-W Ward
robe, London.
Legends Of long-lived fish are nu-
merous. One Of the most interesting
concerns the "Holy Trout Of Kilgee-
ver." This fish lived for many years
In a well in the west Of Ireland. Ira
diti0n says that, when French troops
landed there more than century ago,
they ran short Of food, and certain
soldiers decided to have the trout
fried for dinner. When they put him
on the pan, the trout disappeared up
the chimney and found his way back
to tho well, where he lived for many
yearA-London Tit-Bits.

yXIHEN mans name is incorpor-

say we are eliminating waste or prac-

"Hooverizing" And It's quite likely
the word will become permanent part
Of the language
Herbert Hoover is undoubtedly one
Of the greatest men the World war
brought out He was born In Iowa,
August 10, 1874, studied mining engi-
neering, was graduated from Leland
Stanford, and, after various expert
ences in mining in this country, went
to Australia as mining chief. This
led him into China, where he did lot
of exploration work through the in
terror, and where he took part in the
defense OF Tientsin during the Boxer
trouble.
That was about twenty-five years
ago, and after these exciting happen
ings, he settled in London, holding sew
eral important positions with mining
concerns. Then Germany went through
Belgium in 1914, and one Of the great
problems to be met while the armies
fought, was-who was to feed Belgium
and how7 Herbert Hoover was ap-
pointed head Of the Belgian relief, and
did work 80 remarkable that no one
could appreciate 1t until after the war
was over and there was time to view
events in proper perspective. He pro-
cured food, distributed it, fixed 1t so
starving communities should have their
share, made sure that the hungry peo-
pie, and not the German army, got the
food.
Naturally he was appointed food ad-
ministrator In the United States when
we went into the war. Among other
things, he curtailed proflteering; en-
couraged home production and can
ming; keeping food properly distrib-
uted; preventing waste; and shipping
supplies to our allies.

The name "Ironsides" was given to
a famous regiment Of one thousand
horse that served under Oliver Crom-

displayed ty 1t at the battle of Mars
ton Moor, 1914 Members Of the
"Ironsides" were chiefly recruited from

the enemy they beat continually

To test gold, dig the point of a
knife into it, and If 1t powders it is
not gold. Gold is richly yellow, but

not affect gold.
You must pan creek sands and grave

posits Of placer gold are on and close

Franklin's Idea Retained

OF course you've heard the story
about Benjamin Franklin munching q
loaf of bread on the streets Of Phila-
delphia, but do you know that that Inn
mortal character started a munching
custom at the Pennsylvania hospital
that has continued down to the present
day and promises to last. as long as
the institution? In the early days OF
its existence the hospital had quite a
struggle to get along. Franklin al
ways interested in it's welfare, hap
pened in one day and was told, among
other things, that the young doctors
were getting scarcely enough to eat.
Touched by the tale, Franklin imme-
diately visited store and brought
back a huge bag Of ginger cookies
From that day to this supply of gin
ger cookies has been on hand for the
internes to MUNICH between meals.
They are kept in tin boxes, readily ac-
cessible to internes on night duty or
others who are just naturally hungry
most of the time.-Philadelph Record.
