THE CIVILIZING FORCE.

According to one conception, the
love Of money is the root of all evil;
according to another, it is one of the
great principles that move the world.
It is not deniable that love of money
leads to the commission of many
crimes. On the other hand what would
be the material and moral state Nof
the world were there no passion for
wealth? We should have few of the
comforts and conveniences that are
now available to most of US if most of
the people were Indifferent to money;
did not care greatly for it or for the
things that are to be had in exchange
for it.
All the great discoveries in science
and every one of the great inventions
that have been made might have been
brought forth if nobody cared for
money. But they would not have
been turned to account. knowledge is
useful only when employed to the gen.
eral advantage. If there were no
love of money there would be no in
centive to engage in the manufacture
and distribution Of the great mass of
devices that have become necessities
to US.
People would be born, struggle
along through a space of time to Sc
cure a bare living and die. They might
or they might not be concerned about
a future state. Whether or not they
were, they would be kept as busy as
we are finding the things they re-
quired. And they would be in the quest

Tommy's Swimming Lessons.

There is a little eight-year-old out
in the country who is learning to
swim. Ordinarily that would not be
wonderful, but in the case of Tommy
it is, because he had infantile paraly-
sis when he was a baby and he has
always been lame. One Of the public
health nurses same across him and
asked his mother to bring Tommy to
clinic that the Bureau Of Child Hy-
giene of the State Department of
Health and the local organizations
were going to have for the lame chill
dren in the neighborhood.
The mother agreed and she and
Tommy's father began putting aside
some money for hospital treatment
and plaster cast for Tommy if the
doctor advised it. When the day of
the clinic came, the doctor examined
Tommy walking, sitting, fiat on his
back then after some hesitation said,
There isn't a thing we can do for
him at the hospital" Tommy listened
with a wistful look in his eyes, until
the doctor said, "But swimming under
careful teacher; that's the thing
that may help those muscles and ten
dons." And somebody who was at the
clinic says Tommy threw his arms
around the doctors neck at the very
thought of learning how to swim and
be like other boys. The nurse had no
difficulty in getting a membership
card for Tommy in the "Y" and
the swimming teacher arranged to
give him a private lesson every day.
The lessons were started and Tommy
is making progress.
At each of the clinics for lame or
crippled children-orthopedic clinics
they are called-something of this
sort has happened. In some instances
the doctors have advised an operation
to straighten or strengthen the Grip
pied part; in others, braces have been
prescribed; in others, special exercis,
as in Tommy's case.
A checking up was made recently of
the crippled children and young peo-
pie under twenty-one years old at
tending schools or having care of hos
pitfalls or dispensaries in Baltimore
City, and within a short time the list
contained 943 names-nearly thous-
and. But it is believed that this is
by no means complete and that the
total number in Baltimore City is
about 1400, with about the same num-
Der in the counties.
Studies have also been made of the
causes producing disability of this
sort and it has been found that one
half of the cases were due to infan-
tile paralysis and one-sixth to some
form of tuberculosis. Only one out
of every fifty of those affected is
hopelessly crippled. For all of the
rest something can be done to de-
crease the handicap or relieve the suf-
fering. Because this is the case, ar
rangements have been made to con-
tinue and extend the clinics through
which children like Tommy have been
reached.

NEW YORK, August 27.-Foot-

clue today in their search for the
slayer of a man whose decapitated
body was found in a desolate section
of Flushing, l.. I.
Traces of automobile wheels near
the barren spot where the huge body
was found caused police to believe
that the man had been strangled else
where and the body thrown from the
car.
An autopsy disclosed that death was
caused by knife thrust in the neck.
The head had evidently been severed
from the body with sharp knife.
The hands were soft and well kept.

TWO YOUTHS HELD
IN STORE MURDER
Newport News Dealer Slain
for Pleasure Money, Says
Alleged Confession.
BY the Associated Press.


NEWPORT NEWS. Va. August 81.
Arthur Peterson, IS years old, Of
this city. killed S. A. Rudd, CO, local
feed dealer, so he and his friends could
Beach. near here, police said he con
fessed last night. The police say he
implicated friend, Connolly Donald
son, said to be a supply teacher in a
local Sunday school. Both Peterson
and Donaldson are held on charges of
murder.
Rudd's body was found in the
rear Of his store lying on an impro-
vised couch. with his badly beaten
head pillowed on a sack of grain.
There were two stab wounds in the
breast.
Police say Peterson's confession was
made between fits of SObbing. and that
he told of having talked with Donald
son some days ago concerning the
plan to get money. According to the
alleged confession, the plan came to
head when Donaldson went home
and brought back a hunting knife and
exclaimed, Pete, / can't kill a man.
To this Peterson is quoted by police
as saying, You wait for me; I work
better by myself, anyhow"
The youth then is said to have con-
fessed that he lured the feed dealer
to the back of the store and struck
him several times in the face until
the old man fell back cold and I stab
bed him twice" Prior to this he said
that he had rolled up his coat and
vest and hidden them in a nearby
field to which he went before going
to meet Donaldson in pool room sew
era blocks away. According to the
alleged confession Donaldson asked
him upon arrival, Did you kill him."
and Peterson is said to have replied,
Yeah. but l didn't get any money;
the cash register was locked"
The partly nude body, as explained
by the police, was the result of the
boys search for a money belt" which
Rudd was generally reputed to wear.
Police say that following the disposal
of the clothes Peterson stated he and
Donaldson went to Buckroe Beach as
originally planned, though without the
expected funds.
The arrest of Peterson grew out of
evidence to the effect that he was the
last person seen with the victim. A
blood clotted knife was found at the
home of Donaldson late today, police
say.

STREATOR. Ill, August 27.-The
Whereabouts of 21-year-old Harry ID.
Hill, sought as his mothers slayer, to-
day remained mystery. while the au-
thorities frightened their web of cir
cumstantial evidence pointing to the
youth as the slayer.
At the same time Coroner L. u

DR.. II. c. Hill. wealthy oculist, and
Chief of Police Rohb were sent on a
futile trip to Springfield Thursday
night when a friend of young HilIs
notified them that the missing youth
would confer with them in the State

The father aud the officer made a
hurried trip there only to find the re-
port false. with no trace of young Hlli
i'm Springfield.
The coroner's jury last night named
Hill as the slayer after its inquest into
the death of his mother, Mrs. Eliza
Hill, but n warrant charging him with
the murder already had been issued.
He is alleged to have slain his mother
and buried her body in a shallow grave
in the basement of their home be-
cause she rebuked him for forging her
name to checks. He disappeared the
day before her body was found, last
Monday.
Forged Mothers Name.
Young Hill was known to have
forged his mothers name to several
checks and at the time of his disap-
pearance he had several hundred dol
lars obtained in that manner.
Miss Alice Sawyer, who refused to
believe the charges against young
Hill, yesterday said she would never
marry him even though he was
cleared. but said the reason was be-
cause of his health.
