2O-Yea-OId Amr,esia Victim
Identified as Dartmouth Pupil
John G.. Moody Suffer.
ing From Foot Ball
Injuries.
Found at Hospital by
Friends of His
Mother.

OST and still cropping through q
mental fog, a 20-year-old am
nesia victim has been identi-
IL fed at Emergency Hospital as
the Dartmouth College sopho-
more who wandered away week age
when a foot ball injury obliterated
his memory.
Curiously enough, his aimless
travels brought John G. Moody to a
city which contained several ole
friends of his widowed mother, who
lives at Derry, N H. Moody himself
had no inkling of his identity when
he stumbled into filling station neal
Fourteenth and Buchanan streets
early yesterday and collapsed.
Vaguely Recalls Arrival.
For days he had been feeling his
way through a haze peopled by name
less shadows and unknown cities. He
vaguely recalled coming here by bus
spending a night at the local Y. M
c. A, and riding to uncertain des-
tinations on street cars.
Newspaper stories of Moody's ad-
mittance to Emergency Hospital
prompted old friends here to make
inquiry. Moody had disappeared from
Hanover after going to picture
show last Monday night. He had in
jured his head in a foot ball game
and his disappearance excited grave
fears for his welfare.
Two friends of his mother. John j
Mcdonald, 2013 New Hampshire ave-
nue., and Mrs. Harry C. Kimball OF
41O1 Illinois avenue, went to Moody's
bedside and identified the boy. His
mother was notified Moody had been
found and was expected here later to-
day.

taken the place of choice in ethics,
asserting that choice Is an element
of ethics or morals.
Don't mix the ethics Of the In
dividual with the ethics of capital
ism as a system" Moulton replied, "nor
the ethics of capitalists with the
ethics of capitalism"
Brand then asserted that an eco
nomic system worth having is one
that works. What can we do now
to remedy the weaknesses in q very
good system?" he asked.
DR.. Moulton's answer was that the
educational system would necessarily
have to be reorganized.
DR., Mitchell charged the capitalist
system is a war with science and is
hobbling the American people, and
asserted that we could mot waste and
equal the losses of capitalism in the
last five years"
System Not So Good.
Irwin then put in that computing
the distribution of wealth was mis-
leading, that per capita wealth was
determined by the division OF the
total wealth by the total population,
but that actually the wealth was not
divided among all Of the people.
Moulton then answered that the
breakdown was not the fault OF the
system, but the fault OF the human
Judgment in charge"
Morley countered with the asser-
ton that the redistribution OF wealth
is not an ethical question, but that
the remuneration Of wealth is.
At this point Father John A. Ryan
interrupted from the floor to say:
"I take it that the capitalistic sys-
tenn is good, but 1t broke down. II
it broke down it isn't SO good"
It was here that a better paneP'
was asked for, and DR.. Moulton
laughingly commented: II don't
think they are SO hot myself"
Another speaker from the audience
questioned DR.. Moulton's criticism Of
the human Judgment" in the break
down of the capitalistic system.
"The speaker says human nature
is at fault in the breakdown Of the
capitalistic system. Our human ma
ture is the result Of the capitalistic
system, and my prediction is that un-
less we can change the system and
improve its ethics, then civilization Is
doomed"
The Shoreham's main dining room
was filled to capacity, with close TO
1 200 attending the session.

''Toothpick Burglar'' Is Unable
To Recall AU Homes Entered

Lonnie Stillwell, the 'toothpick
burglar" has robbed so many wash
ington homes he just can't seem to
recall them all.
But detectives are helping him re-
member. They have been taking
him on q tour Of the city, stopping
every now and then to inquire:
'How about this house?"
Cant seem to recall that one," said
Stillwell, scratching his head. But
If you can tell me something about
1t, I'll see If I can't remember"
"Well, you ate q baked apple while
in there" the detective prompted.
Then the toothpick burglar remem-
bered he had stolen $1,000 dia-
mond ring, the property Of Albert
Kasson, 4503 Fourth street. He said
he had pawned it for $50 in New

Sergt. T. j. Sullivan will 60 to New

Thus have police solved most Of
the burglaries committed by Still

turned yesterday from Darlington,
s. c., former home of the prisoner,

But the police still have a big task

scarcely so per cent of the property
recovered when the colored man was

At the hospital today Moody was
getting along nicely" although he
still could not recall his name. He
said he believed it was Jack" and
could remember playing foot ball at
some Eastern college, which he could
not identify.
Describes Dartmouth Buildings.
"a lot Of brick buildings on hill''
was as near as Moody could come to
describing Dartmouth. A picture OF
the buildings, however, evoked a
pleased response, as did the photo

Moody had complained of splitting
headaches since he was injured in a
foot ball game November IL. He was
also suffering from kidney ailment,
believed to have been received in an
other game.

Thomas A. Yawkey is a mar
who wants the best. He spares
neither effort nor medium of ex-
change to get the best. His deter
mination to have the best, to build
for the best is expressed in the
team he owns.
81 Want the Best"
'T want the best team that
ever played baseball" Yawkey
told this writer not long ago as
We drank our coffee after din
ner at his home. ''I'm going to
get that team before I'm fin
ished, and I'll be in baseball for
a long, long time. Baseball is q
great game, Boston is the old
stronghold Of the American
League, one of the great sport
centers of the country. The city
deserves the best team in the
country"
Being young and wealthy, with
a million dollars to jingle on every
milestone that spans some "a
years, Tom Yawkey is going to get
what he wants. He can't 60 to
the rippling streams Of Canada to
shoot down the best ball players
with a 5000 rifle. He will bag
them with his flowing fountain
pen and his check book, which
have crowded back the famous
Rupert fountain pen in the base
ball marts.
Turns Downs N. L.
Solicited by agents of certain
National League teams that were
in the market at the time, Yaw-
key refused to become identified
with the older league. Why? That
is easy if you know his history.
Tom Yawkey drank in American
League baseball with his morning
milk. Didn't william Yawkey, his
foster father, own the Detroit
Tigers during the pennant-winning
years of 1907, 1908 and 1909?
The Boston Red Sox were on
the market. Yawkey bought out
Bob Quinn and his associates. He
paid for the franchise. He had
precious few baseball players on
his rolls. They were chronic tail
enders. The first year Yawkey
took a red-ink bath.
There was no retrenchment
policy ordered. Instead, Yawkey
rebuilt Fenway Park. He made it
one Of the model plants Of the
country. He went into the high
ways and byways to buy more
players. He bought Lefty Glove
and took another licking there,
but he took it with a grin. Grove

will tell you, and when he does.

Bark All Its Own

Bark All Its Own
In the last war the French
had a gun which they called, to
spell it euphoniously, a "Swoy-
SAINT canZ,'' quick-firing rs
millimeter with a bark all its
own. The poilus used to salute
these 75'S when a battery OF
them passed, and even kiss their
barrels in their Gaelic en-
thuSiaSm.
They loved to tell how these
"Saviors Of Paris" were fired
point blank into the German In
fantry at the first Marne.
Armament experts called it
the best gun of the war, which,
no doubt, it was. And if an
other great war is destined to
come crashing out Of the black
clouds now hanging over Eu.
rope, we should like to hazard
the guess that the French will
come up with the best gun in
it, too.
Take exception, if you choose,
to the Frenchman's idea Of what
constitutes cooking. Disagree
with him on the question Of
style and even feminine charm
and pulchritude. but never say
that he does not know these
three things-wine, the art Of
thrift, and the theory and prac-
tice of artillery. He worshipS
the cannon because he under.
stands quite clearly which side
God is on.
I'm afraid local boxing fans
were not deprived Of any great
thrill when the proposed Make
Rosenbloom-Bob Olin fight fell
by the wayside.
No Duller Fighter
It is only a personal opinion,
but if there is any duller fighter
anywhere to watch than RoSen-
bloom, he has, thank goodness,
not come my way. Make Slap
sic is a pleasant enough sort Of
guy personally. but as a fight
ing man he's a pain in the neck.
To give him his due, however,
few can beat him.
EMO Fiermonte, the hand
some Italian, may be seen in &C
ton hereaboutS, after all. There
is talk of matching him with
either Tommy Loughran or Ed
die Egan in one of the exhibi-
ton bouts of Gene Tunney's
charity show at the Westches-
ter-Embassy Club next month.
Because of the sort of publicity
he has got of late, many seem
to feel that EMO is a joke as a
boxer. On the contrary, he
looked to be a better than bad
pugilistic prospect before society
caught up with him.
And that should be enough
for a half-hOliday day.
