ssll?" asked Scouty. And the boy
said, "Well, if I am really busy I can
fill my basket high and empty it be-
fore it's night. You see, flowers are
a pretty sight and they are gladly
purchased by the average passer-by."
Then Cary said, What do you do

the boy. II bank it every day. I

Now here's an extra coin, by lad. TO

boy took the coin and smiled. And
then he said, "Oh, thanks!"
The bunch then bid the boy good

DEAD VETERAN
IN FOREIGN
LEGION

The intercession of President
Hoover will be invoked to obtain
the release of Merlen Pritchard,
American war veteran, listed as
KILLED" in Army records here,
but now reported in the French
Foreign Legion in North Africa,
1t was learned here yesterday.
The move to restore the Ameri-
can veteran to his mother will be
made by Robert Gebhard, COM
mander of the American Legion
Post at Vincennes, Indiana.
DOty Case Recalled
Gebhart will be here on Fri
day, to initiate the negotiations
necessary for the eventual return
Of the mysterious war veteran.
The last time international ex.
changes to free an American from
Frances refuge of missing men
were taken was in behalf Of
Bennett Doty, who was saved
from a firing squad on a charge
Of deserting the legion.
The case of Pritchard is consid-
erably complicated, however, due
to the presence of authentic rec
ords in the War Department files
Of his death Some months ago
his mother received a letter pur.
porting to be from her son, i'm.
prisoned at that time in military
Jail in North Africa, after violat-
ing the rigid discipline of the For
eign Legoion.
Pritchard was reported missing
In action on July Is, 1918.
Reported Killed
Three days later he was re-
ported killed in action and buried
three days later. His identified.
tion had been made by a lieuten-
ant in the regiment.
Subsequently. Mrs. Pritchard
was accorded the Federal bonus,
paid to the mothers of deceased
veterans and she is at the present
time drawing Government insur.

Small Loan Law for District

been enacted under the urging Of the Russell Sage Foundation
The smaloan business will be discussed in many ways and the
efforts Of the Sage Foundation to have Congress enact law
here will get attention.
Several smaoan bills for the District pending in Con-

Foundation and interesting hearings were held upon it.
That there urgent need for smaoan law here has long

Science and Chance
Bu Archibald Henderson

or as we say, an infinite num-
Der.
Let us consider, for example,
the following results Of play at
Monte Carlo. At roulette, in
the entire history of Monte
Carlo, neither red nor black has
ever appeared more than rs
times in succession. Why has
red, for example. net appeared
~ times in Succession-or 81
times in succession, or 107
times in succession?
What anWer has science to
give to this question? Or has
it an answer? Certainly, it has
an answer which seems simple
ity itself, when understood.
Calculation, according to the
mathematical theory of proba.
bility, shows that IS repetitions
Of a color should occur once in
about % million throws,
whereas a series of 81 would
occur once in about 134 mil.
lion throws.
It has been estimated that
since Monte Carlo was opened
as a gambling resort. not less
than 100 million coups at
roulette have been produced.
On a rough basis, let us say
that 10 million coupS have
been made. Eliminating all i'm
projections in the machine
from consideration, it is clear
why a run of q repetitions
has not been made since that
would occur only once in 1874
million coups. The chance for
the q repetitions to occur lies
in the "a million coups yet to
be made.
AS Norwood Young acutely
observes in Fortuna: without
attempting to prophesy. it is
pertinent to observe that we
have at Monte Carlo an example
ofN>the manner in which the
egotiStical fancies which every
human being carries about with
him, may be exploited by a
society. Thus chance is gov
erned by design.

have been stripped of his brass

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

But do such enforced unions
really benefit society? Do they
make for the happiness of chill
dren and the sanctity of
homes? And what is the actual
result of our SNUG and sane
timonious legislation on this
subject2 The result is a lot Of
dishonest shenanigans that
have made our marital ar
rangements a world joke. If
love will find a way" so will
hate, and there never yet was
a law that could keep two
people together If they wanted
to get apart. Who wouldn't
rather tell one lie to the judge
than live a life time of them?
We CAN'T stop divorce. A
people who would no longer
permit the slavery of blacks
isn't going to endure the slav-
cry of whites. Sooner or later
we must recognize the fact
that hearts aren't helots. Then
what?
What's the intelligent and
civilized way of handling di-
vorce? Russia thinks she has
found it. Russia RECORDS di.
vorce on application Of either
one or both parties. There is
no haggling between lawyers,
no bargaining for terms, no en-
forced waiting, no. faxed resi-
denee, no pleading with. the
Judge. The Russian court be-
lieves that if two people cant
get along together, they ARE
ALREADY DIVORCED. It con-
Germs itself only with the pro
lection of mothers and chill
dren and it makes far
better provision for these than
we do in America.
That is at least a definite
and honest handling OF the
problem. Ours is a catch as
catch-can system, with the big
gest liar and lawyer winning.

1t isn't a question of whether
or not we should have divorce
the simple fact is we've

ABOUT TIP
Divorce doesn't happen in
courts. It happens in the in
visible and mysterious commun-
ion between two souls. If, in
that communion, those two
spirits fuse, then that is mar
riage. And if they do not, can
not fuse then that is
DIVORCE. And neither VOWS
before altarS nor DEGREES from
the bench can change this es-
Sential fact. Unless that mira
Gle happens, no possible ritual
can make those two one, or
change two strangers into man
and wife.
So the question is not

THE RIGHT TO FORCE TWO
STRANGERS TO ABIDE WITH
EACH OTHER?"
Should a woman be able to
hold a man to an unwilling al
lance? Should a man be
able to hold a woman?
Under our present conditions
this can be done, with full
backing Of the court and com
munity. And unless a man
buys his way out with a sub
Stantial settlement or heavy
alimony, he, may be shackled
for life to a yindictive partner.
This condition exists because
we believe that divorce con-
Germs society more than it does

In human life, there is an

foreseen. Some people call 1t
Luck, meaning good luck. But
luck may be bad, as well as
good; or it may be neutral. 1t
is unlikely that the utmost ef.
fort of human intelligence will
ever compose this mysterious
problem. For when we say
chance, we are speaking Of the
unknown. And for all his many
gifts and powers, man has not
been endowed with the gift Of
foresight, the faculty Of
prophecy,
In the days of the Roman
Republic, Fortuna was the God
dress of Fate. She was the
arbiter of human destiny. But
in time men came to feel that
rewards were not meted out in
according with mems deserts.
Fortuna was a tickle and cap
ricious mistress. And so in the
time of the Roman Empire.
Fortuna became the Goddess OF
Chance.
To the determinist. there is

Character is destiny. Within
every human being are found
the seeds of success or failure,
Prosperity or disaster. God has
wiIled it so. Causes inevitably
have effects: and the effects
are inevitably predetermined by
the antecedeRt causes. A deity,
omniScient in Intelligence, must
foresee each event; and if
everything is known IN advance,
there can be no element of
chance. The things which hap
pen must happen.
In the lack of omniscient in

SECRETS OF

them. there were many who
considered him a fraud. Still
others, believed he was a mir
acle monger.
To be sure, Coue did not
cure everybody nor did they
all stay cured. furthermore,
those who responded to his
system of auto-suggestion were
suffering from functional dis
orders of the nerves, never
from organic illnesses.
Yet there is no gainsaying
the fact that auto-suggestion is
sometimes a valuable method.
To explain how 1t works is
not, however, an easy matter.
Auto-Suggestion is a kind Of
self -hypnotism in which the
subject is made to think, feel
and act in a certain manner
because of influences brought
to bear from within himself.
! If a person is hypnotized by
someone else, the power or in
fluence comes, of course, from
the second person.
In auto-suggestion the Sun-
ject both sends and receives the

over himself as well as accepts
control from himself, He plays

that Major Henry G. Pratt, in

I hold no brief for those who
