spread that horrible oath all over the country.
The charge made against such scandal-spreaders
is criminal libel There has been at least one convc-
tion and Just the other day the resignation of one
reckless preacher was demanded by his congregation
Others probably now will be more careful in their pub
lie utteranceS.
The crime of it lies in the fact that if the bogus
oath genuine, it enough not only to foment
indignation, but actual hatred toward members Of the
Catholic order; and when ministers of the gospel
helped spread it around a fact, many people who
attach more than ordinary Importance to what a
preacher says misled into honest belief that
some of their fellow-ctizens actually took such an
awful oath.
That meant that they couldn't believe that any
one who took such oatn possibly could be patr-
otto American citizen.
Some years ago officials of the knights of Columbus
took the pains to prove that there was no such oath
in any part of their initiation requirement for
membership; and the Masons made public their

side of the top of the tube.
Many people have difficulty in understanding how
the reflector type works. This grows out Of con-
fusion with regard to the refractor type The big
in refractor is not magnifying glass It's function
is merely to concentrate large amount Of light into
a very bright image.
The eyepiece of the telescope is the magnfer. 1t
is really microscope which is used to magnify the
bright image produced by the object glass; The value
of large object glass is that it concentrates more
light in the image and therefore permits of the
of eyepieces of greater magnifying power.
The accompanying diagram illustrates how the re-
Hector is constructed.

The arrangement shown in the accompanying dia-
gram is the most common. Other arrangements are
possible. In some cases small hole is cut in the
center of the big mirror. The small mirror is then
placed parallel with the big one, the image being
reflected through the hole in the big mirror to an
piece which is placed below it.

because it influences his mental
life. The shoflifter steals, accord
ing to Doctor Healy, because she
gives way to some idea derived
from her environment or because
she has seen some one else steal
SUCCESSFULLY in the same way.
Gunman's Mental Life
The young city gunman or BAN
dit has his thoughts of criminality
added to further suggestions Of
companions, from what he reads in
the newspapers and from what he
may see in the movies, until crime
becomes the major consideration in
his mental life.
When two repeated offenders
were asked how they happened to
offend so often, the answers were:
"It's no use going back home to
that street; it gets in my mind
Even the houses there call out for
me to steal"
Another answer was:
"They ought to have known when
they let me out on parole that I
couldn't go back and listen to that
corner gang without getting into
trouble again."

The Christmas Tree

The season in which ones thoughts turn to Christ
mas trees is just about upon us. And so much has
been written about forest conservation recently that
many people feel that cutting down young fir trees
for Christmas constitutes needless drain upon our
forests
Such fears, however, are ungrounded. This comes
on the authority of no less person than Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Asso-
citation, and last-ditch defender of our forests
ever there was one.
The type of tree used for Christmas, says Pack
would not be worth great deal even if it we're al
lowed to mature in its native settingg In addition
ever-ncreasing proportion of Christmas trees comes
from private forests that restocked yearly so that
the supply is maintained constantly.
So go ahead and plan on having an old-fashioned
tree-you can do 1t with a clear conscience.

NoOdoOiSnn and Death

Notwithstanding all we have ac-
complished by using our brains,
some of the oldest and most pervert-
ed superstitionS still survive. Out of
York, Pa, comes a tale that belongs
to the fourteenth century, tale
of "voodooism" witchcraft, spells
and murder done in obedience to
jungle alterations.
A "powwow doctor" John Bly,
myer catches two boys in the web
of his cheap magic, teaches them to
believe in charms, to suppose they
are bewitched and to look upon an
old farmer as the one who has sur
rounded them with evil influences.
Get a lock of the old mans
hair" Blymyer tells these boys, land
he will be unable to do you harm.
They undertake to do so, the old
man puts up fight and they muir
der him in cold blood.
Now it develops that Blymyer is
not the only "powwower" in York
county, that the boys are not the
only ones to have fallen for WOO
dooism" and the poor old farmer is
not the only individual to have lost
his life because of the crazy notions
thus spread.
According to Coroner L. V. Zach,
the deaths Of at least five babies
are traceable to pow wow" healing
in York county. The county medi-
cal society says that Coroner zach's
estimate is too low and that scores
of infants, as we'll as some adults
have died unnecessarily because
their relatives and friends we're so
obsessed with the black art that
they refused to call in. physicians.

1t is a strange aspect in our law
of life that there is no legal pro-
vision for dealing with dangerous
individuals who can be recognized
as such before they commit serious
offenses.
In a certain instance a father
went twice to the best authorities
he could find because he had rec
ognized danger signals in the be-
havior of his son.
He was told that the law could
do nothing until the boy had COM
mitted an offense. He was not suf-
ficiently deteriorated mentally to de-
mand incarceration, but the signals
were apparent.
1t becomes more obvious that So
ciety must apply to delinquents and
criminals the same research that
has resulted in progress in the
scientific world and in business.
With the increasing speed of mod
ern life, mental defect becomes in
creasingly important as a factor Of
disturbance. The beginning for pre-
vention and control cannot be made
too soon.

Taught to Think

Ezra Meeker dies at 81. He was
one of the last to travel the Ore
gon trail by OK cart, and one of
the first to fly over it in an air
plane Few mortals ever have been
identified with a greater migration.
Fewer still have lived to see that
migration settle down to civilized
life. 1t is said that more than 300,-
900 people went over the oregon
trail before the advent of railroads
and that more than twenty thou
sand fell by the wayside. That was
a mighty achievement in itself, but
it seems pale and colorless COM
pared to what the survivors and
their children accomplished after
reaching the goal.
The kind of pioneering which
Ezra Meeker stood for was really
worth while, because it gave birth
to the kind that such men as Morse,
Bell and Edison eXemplify.
Travelling unknown trails taught
men to think.

Fixing Salaries

If the legislature does nothing else it should not
neglect to pass some measure which will end the fee
system of salaries in every county.
Some of these incomes of public officials especially
in Lake county, amount to public scandal.
The prosecutor of that county is discovered to
draw more money than will be paid to Herbert
Hoover President of the United States The sheriff
gets almost as much.
The effect of such salaries on the conduct of the
Office and on the political affairs can not be other
than very bad.
In this county the one Office that is still the prize
for the machine is that of treasurer Some effort was
made to make the pay correspond with the service
two years ago when a law passed that prevented
the treasurer from putting the interest on improve
ment funds into his own pocket. But the fees are
still much too large for the service rendered.
In eliminating the fee system. which has always
been corruptng there other reform that should
be made.
That is abolition of the extra $25 fee provided by
the Wright law for prosecuting all liquor cases.
1t was under this provision that the dry organiza-
ton has had its flying squadron of attorneys that have
travelled over the state the past assisting in prose-
cutions, but in reality drawing down big sums for
sending DRINKS to Jail.
there be any necessity for large fines to make the
state dry, the money should be paid as fines and not
as fees to lawyers for prosecutions.
One great drawback to any respect for the law is
the persistent effort of dry professionals to put that
law upon basis different than exists for other laws
The attitude of the legislature toward machine
government and political corruption will be estimated
to extent, by its actions in eliminating the fee
system, the greatest aid to corrupt politics and
continuation Of boss rule.

Sweet Dreams

It is youths right to dream, but
it is the duty of older people to
see that it dreams in the right
direction. Dreaming about black
magic, or fairy godmothers is a very
different thing than dreaming about
what one can do on his own ac-
count. Evelyn Kidd of Spirit Lake,
Ia, though only 16 years old,
dreamed that she could furnish her
room well at little expense. Now
she takes first prize in the national
home improvement exhibit, with a
five-piece set done in coral, green
and old ivory, which she created
at an expense of only $685..
Karl Glockner, a young Swiss,
who came to this country seven
years ago and got a job as chauf-
feur, dreamed that he could paint.
He tried it in his spare time. Now
he is showing a very creditable COL
lection at the art center in New
York.

Dangerous Riddles

1t is still easy to be mystifled. I'm
solved riddles confront us on every
hand. The safe course is to pay
li.oss attention to what we don't
know and more to what we do In
complete as human knowledge may
be it is big enough to offer any hui
man being all the outlet he needs,
and then some.
If those two boys in York county,
had gone in for repairing auto
mobiles, making toy airplanes. or
even football, instead of listening
while a half-wit chartered jungle
bunk, the chances are there would
be one less sensational crime to
nauseate the American public.
