. YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton

I wonder how many people noticed a small article recently about the experiments carried on with soap. In fact there have been several squibs in the papers dur. ing the last few months about similar interesting tests that l thought deserved large spreads on the front page instead of small boxes on the last.
 Soap may not be news. but when we learn that 1t Is one of the best germicides extant that Is news, isn't 1t? To my mind 1t Is decided ly 50.
 Let me re-state briefly the con- tents of these items. Cakes of par tiaiiy used soap have been gather- ed from every type of public place, where all sorts of people left bit of their grime behind. These were taken to laboratories and tested for every kind of germ and the re- port Is that not e germ of any kind was found.
 It refutes most of our old theo- ries about soap, doesn't 1t?
 I always had wholesome re. spect for a scrubbing brush, but now I look upon 1t as armour, q buckler against disease. and Q friend to man. It has taken to It. self q coat-of.arms--we can de. spise 1t no longer.
 About five years ago, after we had had a contagious disease in the house, the Board of Health Representative came and took the sign down. l then waited with resignation to be fumigated, but 1t seemed that they were going to do nothing of the kind. I was sur- prised and uneasy. We had always looked like 0 first class fire after such an illness--clothes lines everywhere, carpets turned up. mattresses doing somersaults, bu- reau drawers open and their con- tents strewn about everywhere. 1 SOapsuds Suggested
 But no--they were not going to fumigate. If we wished we could get some formaldehyde lamps and burn them ourselves. But the of. ficer advised me to use snoapsuda and plenty of 1t on everything washable in the room. "The other things" he said, you'd better hang out in the sun for a day or two. Anything you can't get at, burn if you like. But soap and sun will do wonders"
 Later q government report fell into my hands. In 1t 1 noticed the same things recommended. Of course during our illness we had used strong germicides in toilet places and in soaking anything that came in direct contact with the patient. I am sure that doctors will not change that order. There are times that direct battle against dangerous germs is necessary. But these laboratory reports are very reassuring. Soap is a preven- tive. To know that when the chil- dren wash their hands with soap and water they are destroying germs is very comfortable feel. ing. To know that clothes washed thoroughly once week are pure is most gratifying. Think how germless all pets will De if thor. oughiy scrubbed. Oh, yes, cats too we used to wash our two An. goras. Nice to know, whore little children play on the floor, that the rug or hardwood washed with soapsuds is really clean.
 believe this is one case where q little knowledge is q good thing, Between soap and sunshine we should be able to keep the family reasonably well, think. Teach children the soap habit.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV

CHATTER AAV
 Ernest Heath was in his library alone. With a sigh of disgust he pushed back the plans on which he had been working. odd how sometimes everything seemed to go stale. he thought. He had been fighting off this feeling of futility for weeks. He awoke with 1t in the morning. During the day he seemed able to shake 1t off but when he was tired or when his brain Jagged as 1t did now it re- turned in full force.
 "What need is holiday" he told himself. He rose and strolled about restlessly, picking up small objects and putting them down. He supposed Ruth would be quite late. She was playing bridge at the Hamilton's and they had planned to go later to the club to dance. He might as we'll go to bed but since he was not in the least disposed to sleep he wandered into the garden. He stood there gazing up at the cold, remote, inaccessible sky. as If 1t might provide an answer to his problem.
 It was a perfect fall night. There was a cool, high wind from the west and a strange stiffness seemed to brood over all. It was always quiet there but tonight seemed especially so. Thus 1t was that when 6 splitting sound suddenly rent the stiffness the listening man felt his nerves jingle with annoy ance. There was grinding of gears. There was, just once. a ts.t tn t,, tho direction of the noise. Down man in dinner suit.
 When he reached the intersec- ton of the main road he was left and for an instant could see he caught sight of lean. grey road. He walked briskly in it's di- rection.
 For moment Heath thought the car was empty. Then just ahead he discovered what his nearsighted eyes had previously missed. Two tall. young figures. A girl and man. Relief surged over him and anger, too.
 "Young fools" he muttered. "I might have known there was noth- ing really wrong"
 He started to return to his quiet garden when something about the girls pose arrested him. A frag- ment of what she was saying reached him.
 "I tell you I'm not going. Noth- ing could induce me to-"
 
 There seemed to be something tremulous and appealing about the voice. Heath squared his shoul- ders. He was shy man but con- scientious one and he thought he had no choice. His long legs brought him in few strides to the qusrreling pair.
 T beg your pardon" he said quietly, addressing the girl whose face was only a white blur in the darkness. "1s there anything I can do? I thought I heard crash
 He was shaken when the voice that answered proved to be that of his secretary. Trembling. excited. yet unmistakably Susan Carey's. Y 'Mr Heath" that voice said. "l wonder if you would be so awfully good as to take me back to the Ackroyds. I'm staying there and the others have gone to another party and l have a raging head

 Heath concealed his surprise. "I should be delighted" he said, ig- noring her escort and wishing he had not left his eyeglasses on his study desk. These tall. young ruff fans all looked alike.

Jersey City Stands Out Among Larger
Centers Where Racketeering Doesn't Pay

Der of known offenses to each 10000 oi

size, Portland, Greg, had nearly 10
times as many crimes, the offenses there
being 1886 to each 10000 Of population
No Political Meddling.
The chief credit is due to Hague He
rode into power in 1918, when the COM
mission form of government became ef-
fective His first fight was with the
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association,
which had ruled the department for
years and was al adjunct of the domi-
nant political machine. Hague made the
association ccnfine its activities to their
proper sphere. And he separated poll
tics from the department as well.
Thomas j. Wolfe, chief of police CT
Jersey City, told how it was done when
he said:
Since Mayor Hague took an official
interest in the police department the
chief of police makes all assignments,
promotions and demotions without out
side interference We have no rackets
here because we have no political med
ding in the police department. The
moment partisan politics crccpS into a
police department that moment its eff
cheney ends. If a politician who can
dictate the policies of a police depart
ment Is interested in a racket the po-
lice will not dare to interfere with it;
and the racketeers can prey, without
fear, on the people"
The elimination of partisan and de-
partmcntal politics from our law en-
forcemant agencies will be helpful. But
this will be only partial solution, for
crime. whether expressed in
r. cl5ets or in the older FERNS of crime

world. This alliance began with the
advent of prohibition: and cur aristo-
Gratis, who maintain their power with
the untold billions of the bootleg in
dus:Ty canrot be subjugated while their
source of power remains.
When this problem Is solved we will
see the passing of the reign of the club,
the torch, the bomb, the sawed-of shot
gun and the machine gun. And then
tho people can deal with the allies and
partners of the bootleggers, the racket
eers, who levy an annual tax beyond
calculation on the legitimate business OF
the country.

before the Crime Commission of the
State of New York estimated this toll

maximum force possible for us to put
in France and maintain was 80 di-

French divisions.
Continued Sending Orders.
I notified Gen. Pershing that the
maximum force I would send to him
was 80 divisions, and that this was the
official program. A short time there
after found that cables from Pershing
were requesting the shipment of troops
and supplies for the 100-division pro-
gram Just the same, and he was Gp-
parently allowing it to be understood by
our allies that we would undertake this
impossible program. I cabled him: 1T
is considered by the President and the
Secretary OF War of the greatest i'm
portance that no expectation be held
out by you to representatives OF foreign
armies that the United States will be
able to carry out such a program"
About this time Secretary Baker went
to France on his second visit, and
shortly after his arrival, September %,
1918. he sent me confidential cable
saying he found Pershing and his CO.

men more than the War Department

had changed my mind, to advise Persh-

ingly, was more than twice the size of
any other division of troops, either
allied or enemy. The reason for this de-
cision is not apparent 1t was accented
by the War Department at the time,
and found it in existence when I be-
came chief of staff,
One obvious result was that continual
references we're made in the official
communications of our allies and in the
press to the effect that we had in
France, for example so divisions of

study of the maximum possibility of

The fact was that Gen. Pershing
was going ahead in his demands with
out the slightest regard to what was
either possible from the standpoint of
the American effort or what the allies
really desired. for it was on that visit
OF the Secretary Of War to France, and
in the very midst of the Pershing de-
mand for 4.700,000 men, that Marshal

Secretary Baker he could win if Amer

Near the end of October we passed in

We would have larger force in France
