The main street is IA blocks long. It

Everyday Law Cases
Is UNLAWFUL Arrest Bar to
Prosecution Under Subsequent
Indictment?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

While standing on a street corner,
John Bales was suddenly sliced by a
private person, who accused him of
having stolen his automobile several
days prior thereto. Bales sought in
vain to regain his freedom forcibly, and
then argued that he could not be ar
rested without a warrant. The ac-
cuSer refused to free Bales and turned
him over to the police.
The next day warrant was duly OBJ
tanned for Bales while he was in the
custody of the police. An indictment
followed and Bales was brought up for
trial.
Counsel for Bales asked that he be
dismissed on the ground that the ar
rest had been illegal and this defect
could not be rectified by a subsequent
warrant duly obtained.
Bales was tried, however, and found
guilty, the court stating:
THE general rule is that it is no
defense to criminal prosecution that
the defendant was illegally or fcrcibly
brought within the jurisdiction of the
court
IF he was Illegally arrested he has
his remedy in a civil action for false
Imprisonment"

The lifelong Washingtonian looked

The Washingtonian was a member OF
a local country club and occasionally
visited some of our evening places and

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
A Question Often Asked.
Text: What shall do for my son?'

Text: What shall do for my son?'
I Samuel, x2
Here is a question that has been
asked by many fathers-"What can ]
do for my son?" And many a father
answering that question has said; 81
don't want my son to have as hard a
time as 1 have had; I am going tC
make things easy for him." Yes. and
the father who does that does about
the worst thing he could do for his son
1t may never be known how many sons
nave been spoiled in this way-by indul-
gent fathers making things easy fol
them.
Life is not meant to be easy. Men
are not made by being relieved from
the necessity of toll, struggle and
hardship. Wise fathers know this. and
teach and train their sons accordingly
He is foolish father who instills into
his son false conception of life by law
lshing upon him too many comforts
and luxuries and allowing him to grow
up without a proper sense of Self-re-
lance
What can do for my son?" By all
means teach him to be a man on his
own account and responsibility. Pro-
vide him a worthy example, give to him
fathers companionShip and counsel
and then let him work out his own sal
vation No matter how able you are
don't do too much for him. And don't
try to force him into the same business
you have followed Leave him the
chance to be himself and to discover
the line for which he is best fitted.
While you are thinking about what
you can do for your son. remember the
most important thing is to teach him
to fear God and keep his command
ments.

Beauty Diary.

The other day was looking over
some memory books for travellers and
college girls and it occurred to me that
a beauty memory book or diary would
be just as interesting and, perhaps.
more valuable than notes on ones va
cation or school days. AS the months
and years slip by they steal our youth
and beauty so gradually that We are I'M
aware OF any change until it has be-
come we'll established, and then we try
frantically to restore the lost beauty.
We slip into habits of wrong diet,
physical inactivity and mental slug
gishness without realizing it. A beauty
diary, faithfully kept, would help us to
check up on our progress and avoid
making the same mistake more than
once. The hit-or-miSS method Is no
more successful in beauty culture than
in any other department of life.
Like the college memory book, our
beauty diary would have sections de-
voted to different phases of the subject.
Buy a looSe-leaf notebook and head the
first page Diet" On this page and the
next write down your daily menus for
one week. including all candy SodaS or
tidbits nibbled between meals. At the
end of the week study these menus.
Perhaps you will find in them the cause
Of your beauty troubleS-pimples, SAL
lowness, lack of pep, constipation, over
weight or underweight. Now revise
your menus. cut out eating between
meals. Drink more water and eat more
fruit and vegetables.
Keep diet record for another week
and note the improvement in the color
and texture of your skin. Perhaps you
have been eating too many fats or
drinking too much coffee Experience
will teach YOU what sort of diet will
keep your skin clear and your weight
at the right figure. Check up On your
menus every month to make sure that
you do not return to the old habits of
eating.
Another page in the beauty diary
should be devoted to posture. Study
the silhouette of your figure in a full
length mirror, or stand by a wall in
the sunshine and study the shape Of
your shadow. Are the shoulders
rounded, the neck thrust forward, the
chest fiat and the abdomen prominent?
Make up your mind that you will cor
rect these defects before Stock-taking
day next month. Make a rough sketch
of your figure with the date once a
month.
A third page in your diary should re-
cord your experience with cosmetics
and external treatments for your skin.
Which creams are too oily, which soaps
make your skin blotchy. which skin To-
ton agrees best with face and hands,
which powder base gives best results.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

How often the mother deplores the
fact that her baby has the most awful
temper. 1t actually frightens her, he
| gets so mad that he bangs his head
on the floor. We have all heard of
such baby and how the mother is
sure he or she gets his temper from
| Uncle John, or perhaps daddy, neither
one having learned in adulthood to con-
troll his anger
This isn't such serious matter as
| 1t seems. Most children exhibit temper
at some time or another, and there
| are numerous irritations in the child'S
| daily life which arouse his anger. The
difference between the adult and the
child is that the adult supposedly has
learned how to control his emotional
| outburSts. If he hasn't he is still a
child in this respect Adults grow
angry, they grow petulant, or indig-
nant, or just plain mad" and these
are all just grades of, anger, for the
adult has learned modulations of anger
as an organist learns how to grade
the tones of the sound that pour
through the pipes.
The baby's anger is built from ex-
actly the same materials as the adults,
put his anger comes in Just one size.
~.
ne is mad he is just plain mad. and
he shows it in every possible manner,
Even the new baby can show anger, as
j. B. Watson has discovered through
his experiments with the newborn
child. The situation which calls out
this anger is to hold the baby so that
he cannot move his head. The result
is to cause him to grow red and scream
loudly.
We do lot of things in daily life
that are very much like the deliberate
holding which makes the small baby
angry. We hold baby's legs firmly
when we change his diapers. We hold
him In firm grasp when he is put
in his tub. We pack him down in his
carriage or bed and stuff covers around
{ MIN SO that he can't move an inch
| IN any direction. We hold him into
his toilet seat or strap him into a high
chair. We use awfully little sense in
our treatment of babies, and then we
beWail the fact that he is a cry baby
or has terrible temper. At this age
ne has no social training, which acts
as an automatic control on the adult. so
the baby simply opens his mouth and
hoWls, and II the situation which en-
RACES him doesn't promptly better
itself, he bangs his head on the floor
or tears out chunks of his hair or in
other ways shows himself absolutely
unchecked in the expression of his rage.
AS said before. this isn't very serious.
We should avoid things that irritate
the child. 1t is serious if the child
learns that by crying he can get his
own way. We should be sensible
enough to remove the irritation, but If
the child cries for what can't be given
to him we must simply be deaf to his
walls.

from Washington that he dimly re-

his own home town not SO long ago.
At any rate he laughed with the others.
Who wouldn't for nine bucks? Even

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January u.s.
When Ben Lyon finally marries Bebe
Daniels Hollywood can sit back in its
rocking chair, and look for another
bachelor to romance about.
Ben Lyon was so frankly in love with
Marilyn Miller about a year ago that
paragraphists just naturally wrote
themselves dizzy describing New York
telephone calls, long-distance concerts
at $500 the solo staged by Ben Lyon
for his dancing beauty in Manhattan,
and other delightful fantasies.
Then Marilyn Miller saw otherwise
and romancing grew pale. Ben Lyons
activities with aviation kept him in the
foreground of interest, with an occa-
Sional fall to give Roman holiday
touch to the tempo.
Marian Nixon flashed across the
screen-one of these Hollywood girls
who developed stepping-out person.

She stepped out with Ben Lyon now
and then, and the local sewing circles
put their heads together and made
romance out Of it. Every time Marian
Nixon bought new frock it was whis-
pered she was trousseau-hunting.
Ruth Elder and Ben Lyon went buggy
riding occasionally. and on those occa-
sions the whole village knew of it. Word
flashes like wildf1re across this town.
The fact that both of them were inter-
eSted in heavier-than-air craft didn't
seem to penetrate the skull boxes of the
village at all.
Then out of clear sky comes a
party staged by Bebe Daniels good
old-fashioned party, with a mother and
announcement cards and funny signs
on the walls. The announcement cards
said that Bebe would marry Ben Lyon
and the funny signs indicated that
Daniels was in the Lyons den"
Maybe they put the sailed almonds in
pink paper cases and the girls might
have twined the chandeliers with smi-
lax, for all I know. The sewing club
probably baked a cake With mink icing

Everyday Psychology

Intelligence.


According to Prof. Furbay of Taylor
University, 800 of college freshmen
cannot formulated definition of an ami
NAL in such way as to distinguish it
from plant; 500 believe that bat is
a bird; $50 believe that whale is a
fish; 500 do not know that grass
hoppers can fly; $50 think that the
best way to lift a rabbit is to take it by
the ears; 1870 believe that dragons &C
tually exist; 45%o say that an oyster is
fish; $3.50 say that robins breast
is red
The professor seeks to know the con-
tent of students minds. He wants to
know what Is yet to be done in order
to educate them. His list of questions
amounts to an intelligence test.

Tells Story

Nature controls all the functions
of our digestive organs except one.
We have control over that, and it's
the function that calAes the most
trouble.
See that your children form
regular bowel habits, and at the
first sign of bad breath, coated
tongue, biliouSness or constipation,
give them a little California Fig
Syrup. 1t regulates the bowels and
stomach and gives these organs
tone and strength so they con-
tlnue to act as Nature intends
them to. 1t helps build up and
strengthen pale, listleSS, under
weight children. Children love it's
rich, fruity taste and it's purely
vegetable, so you can give it as
often as your childs appetite lags
or he seems feveriSh, cross or
fretful.
Leading physicians have en-
dorsed it for so years, and it's over
whelming sales record of over four
million bottles a year shows how
mothers depend on it. A WASH
ington mother, Mrs. Carrie Engle,
634 F st. NE, says: my little
girl, Gloria, suffers at times from
constipation. She gets weak, fret
full and cross, has no appetite or
energy and food seems to sour in
her stomach. California Fig Syrup
has her romping and playing
again in just a few days. 1t has
such wonderful effect on her we
would never think of using any,
thing else"
Protect your child from imita-
tons of California Fig Syrup. The
mark of the genuine is the word
