New York.—Down in the Argentine
republic ! f a boy to bad and you whip
him lie forgets the whipping but re
members the badness. But If you cut
off his hair, shave it right down to the
scalp, It hurts, and lie forgets the
badness and remembers the hair cut
ting.
With which interesting homily on
South American discipline, Jose Ann-
tuzzo of Buenos Aires, who Is In
America now to ptudy reformatories,
discussed recently the ‘‘reform camp”
he tins built out of a real peniten
tiary In three years.
Officially, Jose Is u Y. M. C. A. sec
retary ou leave, loaned to the Argen
tinian government. Actually, how
ever, he is a sort of big brother to 350
‘‘bad boys” of his country. He has
taken the juvenile malefactors of the
Argentine out of chain gangs Into
homes.
Started Work Three Years Ago.
‘T'lireo years ago,” raid Senor Ama-
tuzzo, “the minister of education
asked me what I could .do with the
boys who have received sentences for
crimes from the courts. Then they
were all housed In one building and
they were treated like prisoners. They
were always handcuffed or big chains
were placed ou their ankles. So l
didn’t know what 1 could do. But l
told him I'd try something.
“I demanded three tilings. First,
that there be uo politics if I tried to
help the boys. You know there is
nothing but polities In everything In
my country. Then I Insisted on run
ning my own budget and lust that I
should uot. toko uuy men or women
Workers' wIicTcftme to me recommended
by officials. I knew that type in my’
country.” if*- r, ‘
It’s a long story this bright, black-
eyed young Argentinian had to tell.
In three years, for instance, his in
stitution lma produced $200,000 worth
of various goods in his 17 shops and
-IHiro U Jlgg GpeiJi the ponsy for
more and bettor equipment. It fins
produced, too, one boy who Is cer
tainly going to represent his country
in the coming Olympic games and an
other who has a pretty good clianco
to do If.
Knows Hie Boys.
It has produced carpenters and ma
sons who built 35 houses for them
selves. It lias brought out a furniture
maker who sold a chair and desk to
the President of the republic—“at a
good price, loo”—for tils use in the
official headquarters of tho Argentine.
Lots of other tilings have been done.
The thing that was most Impressive
about tho youngster who In three
years changed the system of handling
boy criminals is that tie knows so
much about hoys.
“I read the football stories In the
paper every day. I’ve learned the
boys are football crazy. So I know
tho names of all the stars, and I ar
gue with the boys. That makes
friends.
“1 don’t preach a sermon. 1 got
but and play with ’em. I pat them
on the back and shake hands.
”1 haven't whipped a hoy since I
took the place. It Isn't necessary
You can Joke with a boy and get him
to do more than you can when you
force him.
“When a boy is a little had I deny
him the swimming pool. When he
is very bad I cut his hair. They
love their hair and that's what hurts
them most.
•Let them plan things themselves.
They figure out taelr own menus, for
instance. They do whatever kind of
work they want to do.
“Take them places. I try to give
them little outings whenever I can.”
Jose got Ills training in the Y. M.
C. A. schools here. He’s hack now
officially representing the government
to study reform schools.
The sea-song of tho pirates with its
weird n train of "Fifteen men on the
dead man's chest" which Robert Louis
Stevenson Introduces into Ids famous
book "Treasure Island" Is m part at
least authentic oml was sung by the
pirates and buccaneers who roved the
Caribbean sea in flic late Seventeenth
and early Eighteenth centuries. Dead
Man's Cheat was an Island of the Vir
gin group, which has been christened
"Dead Chest Island,'’ thereby losing
much of Its piratical flavor. To till-*.
Island the pirates used to repair, to
careen their ships, stretch their tegs,
drink ruin, slug their buccaneering
songs and make merry after their
own fashion. Curiously enough there
is a little church on the Chilean const
which Is obviously built of ship’s tim
bers. Recently a traveler of an In
quiring mind, reasoning that If tlu'
church were built of ship's timbers.’
the bell would also n ine from a ship,
determined to investigate. A climb
among the rafters did not reveal the*
name of the ship, as lie had hoped, but
around the edge of tho hell were in- j
scribed the words: “Fifteen men on
flat dead man's chest.” All that the
clergyman knew wad that the eliurch
bell came from it ship that was
wrecked in 1722, which was Just Ihq
time when tlie West Indies were get
ting hot for pirates,- and many were
being driven Into the l’aclfic. . j
to Modern Alphabet I
Writing in Its cmilest development
was ideogruphy or picture writing. It
comprised a scries of pictures repre
senting first a thiug and secondly an
Idea. In the next Hugo of progress
meet of the lines of a recurring pic
ture would be left out, until one
stroke might at last come to repre
sent perhaps a lion or the Idea of
hunting. The writing of some of the
peoples of today Is merely a continua
tion of such picture writing. Among
other races the picture writing grad
ually developed into a combination of
sounds to form the nlphabet, and tills
.type of writing has been set down In
all sorts of ways. Each people devel
oped its own alphabet, Eastern jv. ogle
for the most part wilting, as we
would say, back wards, i. t*., from right
to left; or downward; while our own
branch of the human race which had
developed the "cursive" style of writ
ing In which each letter can be Joined
to the next without lifting the pea,
find writing from left to right the
most convenient method.

Odd Forms of Prayer

A single stone, removed to a tits*-

London.—If ever any American po
lice department awarded damages
from it a own funds to a man who had
been arrested and discharged, it. is
pot commonly known, hut that is what
happened here.
MaJ. (Jraliam Boll Murray, C. 1. E., a
distinguished officer of the Indian
army, who served In Gallipoli and
France In the war and was twice men
tioned in dispatches for both brains
and bravery, lias been awarded $2,500
from the funds of the metropolitan
police district. He declares that lie is
entirely dissntislled and that the loss
of dignity and the expense to which
lie was put should entiile him to at
least $25,000. On the face of the re
turns bis claim would appear to be
sound, but an American would Say
Unit lie Is a miracle man.
Led to Department Probe.
Major Murray’s case is one of the
causes colcbres which brought about
the appointment by the home secre
tary, Sir William Joynson-Illeks, of
the street offenses committee to In
quire Into the numerous complaints
that policemen have be n recklessly
arresting people without sufficient evi
dence on charges of insulting wometf,
or of engaging in indecent conduct.
The charges have shaken the police
system to its foundation, and have
culminated in the famous Hyde l‘ark
case, in which 8lr Leo Money, foi

Earth's Big Beige
As the earth’s crust is Hy no means
rigid It rises and fulls under the grav
itational attraction of the moon and
sun in a manner similar to that of
tho ocean’s tide. Various difficulties
have so far prevented exact measure
ments.
The pressure exerted ou spots of
the earth’s crust by the rising tide of
the m ean Is another Jhlng that makes
It heave and full. Atlantic tides have
caused an observed earth bulge 8<ki
miles away, and It is thought probable
that this influence girdles the world.
Miss Savidge has become a grave
question in parliament, lias become a
poll Meal problem, the Socialists going
solidly against the police, und sev
eral suits being tiled by Inspector Col-
Hue and (lie arresting officer against
two weekly papers.
Major Murray was arrested last An
gust 2i on the charge of being drunk
and of peering, or leering Into the
faces of two tf'nten. J, Thurston, ar
resting officer, assorted that tTie wom
en appeared to bo very much annoyed
at the time but they did not appear
against the major when lie was
brought before Magistrate Mead at
Marlborough street police court the
next morning.
Thurston testified that the major
was drunk and peering. No other evi
dence of the peering was brought
forth, but Inspector John Clarke, at
the Vine street station, and Dr. ton
MacPherson,. a police surgeon, testl-
(ied that the major was drunk. That
made It an ordinary case of the po
lice against a prisoner on the much-
mooted question: When Is a man le
gally drunk? But matters were compli
cated by the charge that the gallant
major had Insulted women and the
women were not forthcoming.
Charges Rights Denied.
Furthermore, Major Murray charged
that ho was thrown into a cell and
was not Informed of liis right to tele
phone to fellow members at the Junior
Army and Navy club, which he had
left a few minutes before lie was ar
rested, nor was he allowed to cull a
private physician to examine into the
question of whether he was drunk.
As the ease involved the Integrity
of the police, Magistrate Mead post
poned the ens'e, bit! later tie lined
Major Murray 40 shillings, or nboyi
$10, with five guineas costs, or a little
more than $25.
Major Murray appealed to the Lon
don Quarter Sessions against the po
lice court decision. Sir Robert. Wallace
heard t lie appeal. Police Constable
Thurston stuck to Ids story that the
major was drunk and peering. Major
Murray produced friends from the club
who swore lie was perfectly sober
among them a few minutes prior to
the arrest. Before the defense had
finished calling witnesses Sir Robert
announced lie hud heard enough. He
reversed the police court decision and
completely exonerated the major.
The case was carried to the street
