Caprice, Not Logic Cause
of Crime Most
Often,
BY M. e. Tracy

There is often more caprice than
logic back of crime. but we don't like
to believe it.
What we like to believe is that
men win not do wrong, unless driven
to it by deep and gnawing motives.
We like to-. believe that the
murderer haT suffered enough to
drive him half mad. that the thief
was hungry, that the forger had an
invalid wife, who needed an ex-
pensive operation or a change of
climate and that the traitor, though
mistaken, though he was serving
some lofty purpose.
The record mocks our subtler
fanciesEmocks them in the young
lad who shot his grandmother for
few cents, in the college youths,
who beat a child to death just for
the thrill of it and, more recently
still in those Long Island f1remen,
who committed, arson so that the
volunteer company to which they be-
longed could be there first by being
tipped off before hand.
The little town Of Rockville Center
is shaken to its very core, while
three broken hearted citizens OF
supposedly good reputation try to
explain from behind the bars of
their cells why the set ten or a
dozen fires so that Defender No. 1"
could get there ahead Of water
Witch No. 3" and acorn No. z"
One was captain OF the company,
one a. lieutenant and zone mere
private, and there is nothing to in
dicste that they had more reason
to burn their neighbours houses
one next door to a crowded picture
show-than a desire to see their out
fit get their first and take the glory
away from its rivals.

Pittsburgh Advertising

Yesterday I suggested that Pitts
burgh must be an idle town If 3d.
900 watchers, or anywhere near that
number, could be picked up for a
day or two of useless jobs if 50
many could leave them for a day.
Another thought now comes to
my mind. and it is this: How can
the people of Pittsburgh afford to
have it boxed about the country.
especially by such a distinguished
citizen as Secretary Mellon. that
they are so careless about register
ing and voting as to require the
services Of $4,000 hired watchers to
keep them straight?

There is no accurate way 10 tell

ably less than years old. Alligators
eat meat. scraps Of liver or beef, and

alligator to climb on. Fill tho tub

AN INTERVIEW
 O|V THE EYES
Continued from Page Three)

ing out into two millions of nerve endings inside of each eyeball which receive the photographic im- presions and convey them to the brain and produce single vision, as you flash your line of vision in an infinite number of directions and with marvellous speed. Now the six external muscles surrounding each eyeball, that are devitalized for instant action or duction, by the distribution of nerve supply from the cerebellum of the brain, these muscles line up the two eyes to do instant teamwork, like you would drive a spirited team of horses. Now, many times this team of eyes pull together about like bucking broncho would pull toSeth- CT with an old blow horse, and this muscular imbalance is usually caused by letting the eyes go too long without proper glasses to re- lieve the eyestrain.
 There are twelve coats O. layers to the Retina or back of the eye ball; one layer of rods and cones are highly sensitized and vibrate with nerve force to receive the rays of light or photographic image. Like electricity makes a copper wire vibrate) and one of the lay CTS, a dark pigment absorbs and records the photographs for trans mission to the brain.

HAZELET VISITS AGAIN

George c. Hazelet, director of the Cordova Abstract & Realty Co.,, man ager of the Chilkat Oil Company, and one of the most influential business men in the entire Territory, returned to Seward Saturday from Fairbanks. MT. Hazelet left Seward a week ago, last Saturday for Cordova and went over the Richardson highway in two days just making rail connections fol the coast. He departed for his home and office yesterday on the S.S. Alas ka.

you should acquire atrophy of the optic nerve, or desensitized or deadening of the two million optic nerve ends, then your vision will be permanently damaged with no hope for recovery. When an experienced technical practitioner examines the Retina or inside back of the eye- ball he can instantly detect sys- temic conditions, such as, Bright's disease, diabetes, anemia, blood di- seases, so when you get a scien- tifc examination of the eyes you also get very good physical exam ination which can be used for time ly preventive or curative measures.
 Many people enormously say Now that I have a good vision for distance and can see anything far away, so I need no glasses for that, the patient does not realize HOW he sees or by how much wasting of nervous energy that vision has produced. You may see well, but by a severe accom- modative strain, which strain can only be measured by an accurate test of the eyes. We determine not only what you see but how you see! The writer has given in the past 21 years practice in Seattle, over twelve thousand treatments to cor rect muscular deviations of the eyes and was the first to introduce that system on the Pacific coast.
 If you want to keep young and efficient, healthy and happy, have your eyes examined every ear or two and wear glasses to save nerve strain when you need them; and no worthy, capable practitioner will prescribe glasses unless you need them.
 Some people enormously say Now if I begin wearing glasses, will always have to wear them" That is incorrect. It isn't because you begin to wear them, it is sim ply the condition or malformation of the eyeballs that produces the loss of vision or strain that de- mands the wearing of glasses. The wearing of glasses gives comfort and nervous relaxation fulfilling an urgent demand and should not be thought of as an acquired habit.
 If you want beautiful eyes and expression, make them efficient and restful.
 As a graduate and post graduate of some of the best eye colleges and a practitioner of twenty-five years experience, the writer feels qualified to speak with accuracy on this little understood subject. When you think of purchasing glasses for your eyes, remember you are deal ing with the most delicately con- structed, complex, marvelously pois- i ed beautiful pieces of intricate ma chinery ever conceived by Gods creative craftmanship. You would i n't take millions of dollars for them. Don't abuse them or ne- glect them! Have them examined by a competent graduate optome- trist or eye-specialist every year to
 eighteen months, as they change il
 form about that often.

CLEVE COX GETS INTO
SUPERVISORAL RACE

G. c. (Cleve) Cox, who recently
announced his candidacy for county
supervisor in district No. 2, subject
to the action of the democratic pri-
maries in September, says that he is
influenced in doing SO by the feeling
thai that district should be represent

will be ever mindful Of its best in
terests and WHO will be on the job
getting improvements for the district,
especially in better roads
Mr.. Cox is keenly interested in the
development Of this state and eoun-
ty, aIll most especially in the district
in which he lives and which he wish
es to represent. He has been a
ranchcr for a good many years, one
Of the progressive kind. Recently he
disposed Of his ranch south of Nor

Cox and Bill Back in the development
Of big irrigation project in Long
Valley below the rim, in which they
plan carrying water from Long Lake
down through the rim.
Mr.. Cox has had wide experience

direct testimony. Then Mr.. Fergu-
son, chief of defense counsel, took up
the redirect examination. Miller
said his wife went away on February
20, last; and he located her definite

day Mrs. Miller, left. after Cundiff
had taken Mrs. Miller to Winslow, lie
met Cundiff and latter told him, "You
are q widower," then told him he had
just put Mrs. Miller on train and
would not tell him where she had
gone. Miller described sheriff's eff
forts to locate wife on train No. 8.
Then at Winslow, f. L. Neill told
Miller that Cundiff never had brought
Mrs. Miller to Winslow. Next morn
ing went to Cundiff and asked for
more information. Latter refused.
Miller phoned Sheriff Parsons. He
came and got it out of Cundiff that
Mrs. Miller had left note with him
for her husband, which Cundiff had
until then said nothing about.
Cundiff later came to Miller's and
in presence of several told him he
was very sorry at having taken Mil
ler's wife away and asked forgive
ness. Miller said he told him he
''was not angry at him, and let US
go along in friendly way"
Strucl<meyer, re-cross, endeavored
to get Miller to admit he had told
people following his wife's disappear
ance in reference to Cundiff's assist
ing her to get away and Miller's be-
lief at that time that Cundiff had
"done away" with her, that ''if the
law don't take care of me I'll take
care of myself"
Miller was excused from the stand
at 3:45 yesterday afternoon.

about Cundiff'S mental condition, re-

him away. She said he carried wea-
