ago. was all the work Of a 10-year -old
boy who liked to see the flames.
It was the governor Of Illinois him
self who verifies this amazing fact.
The youngster readily confessed
everything. He told how he had set
the blaze, had scampered home to read
q school textbook entitled-of all
things-"Good citizenship" and then
had returned to watch the disastrous
conflagration he had caused.
As soon a. he had made this bizarre
confession, the lad was lodged In a
detention home to await the arrival
OF learned psychiatrists. who were to
question him in an effort to find out
what on earth possessed him.
In case like this, we bump against
one Of the most tragic and puzzling
riddles that life can offer.
In 1t we face one of those queer, in
comprehensive quirks that crop out
every now and then to bewilder and
dismay us.
Such things remind us that we do
not know nearly as much about the
main-springs OF human behavior as
we think we do. Why should an in
telligent, pleasant-faced child give way
to an insane impulse like this, any
way? How could the adults who have
charge Of his training have foreseen
such thing?
What can be done. now that the
has taken place, to keep
the lads life from being wrecked. and
make it possible for him to develop
into a happy and useful member Of
society?
We know the answers to none of
those questions. But out OF the gen.
eral bewilderment we can, perhaps.
draw a new understanding Of the OBJ
legation that lies upon all adults in
respect to children; the obligation
to try to understand, to sympathize,
TO be as wise and helpful as our limi-
tations permit.
The world of childhood Is a strange
place, and 1t can be peopled by queer,
yrisly shadows. We cannot know all
that goes on in 1t. nor can we UNDER
stand all that we do know. But we at
east can be forever alert to help, to
advise, to comfort, and to warn.

Railroad Employment

Discussing the state of the rail-
roads, a spokesman pointed out the
other day that employment on the
western lines had decreased from
778,59O in 1920 to 373,364 in 1882, a
drop Of So per cent.
At the same time, wages dropped
from 1,3S6,35o, 3o7 in 1920 to $685.. 49,
SIT IL years later.
Without argument as to causes
these figures contain the condensed
story OF one of our great industrial
tragedies and one Of our greatest
problems. Railroad employment is an
essential TO sound prosperity and.
while it has improved some during
the last year, it Is still far from nor
NAL.
The railroad spokesman who ad-
vanced these figures compared them
with those for southern and eastern
railroads, where the decrease in en-
ployment and wages has been rela-
lively smaller. He asserted the west
ern roads have been harder hit than
the others because they have lost
most Of their through traffic to the
Panama Canal and because they are
not permitted to make competing
rates.
There doubtless are other impor-
tant factors but, whatever they are,
we in this midland country should
be interested in getting them straight
ened out. Railroad men with 20
years Of rights" have been on the
extra list for several years now. Only
the oldest OF the veterans can hold
steady runs-and draw paychecks
regularly.
The figures certainly prove that
the railroads and their employees de-
serve some kind Of a new deal.

A HerOism That Puts Life
Into History

History never gets really interest
ing until 1t gets down from its high
stool, shuts up Its heavy ledgers, and
starts telling us about the little, un-
noticed incidents that high-light
great occasions.
For these little things are what
give the great stories their true fla
vor. Among them there IS the case
Of the mysterious monument on the
battlefield OF Antietam.
On this stretch OF Maryland farm
land was fought one Of the great bat
ties Of the Civil War. Lee, swinging
back toward Virginia after his first
invasion Of the north In 1862, made
a stand behind Antietam creek and
met the onset Of Mcclellan.
The fight is recorded as Union
victory, but the northern army was
mangled so badly that, when Lee
withdrew across the Potomac, no
pursuit was made.
At any rate, until q few years ago,
the battlefield was studded with
more than 30 monuments commemo-
rating the deeds OF various COM
mands. All but one Of these-a Con-
federate marker erected by the state
Of Maryland-were Union monuments
Then, one day, stranger appeared
In the adjacent town OF sharpsburg.
inquiring where he could rent q horse
and wagon to transport stone to the
battlefield. And the next day there
was found on the field q new monu-
ment bearing tablet which read:
Near this spot an abandoned Con-
federate gun manned by second
lieutenant Of the Sixth Virginia in
fantry. Mahone's brigade, and two
volunteers from Anderson's Georgia
brigade. was placed In action Sept
II, 1862"
That's ALL No one. to this day
knows who put the marker there: nc
one knows the names Of the three
southerners who. coming upon az
abandoned field piece Ii the tumult
Of storm-swept field. swung It's mus
zle toward the enemy and served it.
No one knows what happened to
them, or how their action weighed In
the final result or whether the gun
finally went back to Virginia with
Lee or was captured BY Mcclellans
men.
But the mysterious marker adds
much 10 the story Of the battle. Il

Nv there is a sensible inquiry.

4NON lllCIV Is q SeIlSlUlC
In my experience refer to it with
some diffidence in the presence Of
the correspondent. for I had only
Is or 20 years Of practice before I
began to tell the world how to keep
tolerably we'll and not monkey so
much with symptoms and regulators
and the LIKE always found 1t good
scheme to wabble bit when was
not certain just what we should do,
and mention several possible courses
we might pursue. This sort Of stump
ed the patient and the decision was
left dangling-which gave me a little
more time to try to make up my
mind. just couldn't afford to be
honest and say to the patient: i
don't know whether it would be bet
ter for you to have the operation or
not" A doctor who has to depend on
his practice for his living can't tell
patients the truth like that. They'd
all go across the street to good
doctor who knows how to lie to 'em
in the way they've been accustomed
to.
Trouble with the diatherny method
Of extirpating tonsils is that too
many incompetent men are dabbling
with it-attempting to employ a
technical method which is far more
difficult than a tonsillectomy, with
out any proper clinical instruction by
master of the method. They buy
machine or gadget and receive q
few lessons from the glib salesman
who knows as much about it as I
know about the publishing OF a news
paper. Then some luckless patient
comes along and the doctor expert
ments on him, and the patient SUI
fers unpleasant results. and the doc
tor. the patient and all their immed-
late friends conclude that this new
tangled diathermy method is no good.
In the city from which the young
woman writes there are several good
throat specialists who do know, hav-
ing designed to receive proper In

cd, how to extirpate tonsils with
diathermy.
