It is a vegetable pro duct and you could use it every day. But it’s in an emergency that Castoria means most. Some night when consti pation must be relieved —or colic pains •—or other suffering.

New York. —The seventeen-year-old murderer, who was afraid of a kiss, has been sentenced to prison for life. He is Vincent T. Rice, a Staten Island boy, and he slew his fifteen-year-old sweetheart, Alice Joost, when she asked him for a kiss. Having heurd two alienists express their opinion that the boy’s act was committed under the Inlluence of an impulsive terror of intimacy with girls —probably the effect of a too intensive religious training on a backward mind and an undeveloped sexual instinct justice Selah B. Strong allowed the boy to change his plea from not guilty to guilty of murder in the second de gree. The opinion of these two mental ex perts corroborated the statement Rice had made in his signed confession, that the murder was unpremeditated, an act born of his exaggerated horror of a kiss which he said Alice Joost offered to give him. Breaks Down and Weeps. Rice, a pale, guod-looking boy neatly dressed in a brown suit and maroon tie, who had sat stolidly chewing gain and leaning on his hand during the taking of testimony, showed his first sign of emotion when, after the court room had been cleared, he suddenly began to weep on his brother’s arm. After Medical Examiner George Mord had described the condition in which he found the body of Miss Joost the night of November 2, Mrs. Lucille Joost, mother of the dead girl, a white-haired woman all in black, calm ly told how, when she returned to her home that evening, she found her daughter’s body across the bed in her room, with a gash on her forehead and a piece of electric light wire tightly twisted around her throat. Then’ Rice’s confession, signed the day after the murder, was read. In it Rice told of his afternoon with Alice in the Joost home, how they sang and played the piano, how, at dusk, Alice tried to kiss him, and asked him to “be a good sport’’; how her actions and words filled him with uncontrol able anger, how he struck her down and then, overcome with fear, stran gled her with wire. Afraid of Kiss. Then came the scientific description of Rice as a young man deeply re pressed sexually, afraid of girls, afraid that to kiss them might cause him se rious physical harm, who reacted with terrible violence when a girl ottered him a caress. Dr. George H. Kirby, an alienist of 1111 I’ark avenue, engaged by trie boy’s family, was called to the stand. He had examined Rice in jail, he said, and found him constitutionally inferior. “Do you think,” asked the district attorney, “that this murder was pre meditated?” “No, in my opinion, it was not.” Doctor Kirby testified. “I look upon his whole act as impulsive and unpre meditated.” Q.—How did the defendant explain his act to you? A.—He said he had struck the deceased in order to pro tect his honor and preserve his health. Q.—How would you describe the defendant’s life? A.—lt was one of intense repression. I attribute this to his religious training and the home influence. Doctor Kirby went on to explain that Rice had had epileptic fits from the age of one to four, and that these had undoubtedly resulted in his being mentally and sexually retarded. Some where, he said, the boy had acquired a real fear of intimacy with girls, which would explain his abhorrence, when, if his confession was truthful, the girl attempted to kiss him.

GREAT CLEMENCEAU LEADS LONELY LIFE Visitors Are Ghosts of Dead Whom He Loved. Paris. —Georges Olemenceuu, who has wrecked many cabinets but won the country’s gratitude in the war, is bit terly conscious of a great louelineas in the evening of his life. When his sister died recently, friends gathered at his Paris home and one of them asked: "How many ‘official’ visits do you receive? How many ministers, how many marshals call on you?" The Tiger began, in what all thought an evasive way: “I sleep little; old men sleep little. Often at two or three o’clock in the morning I awake. I would be bored itt bed, awake, so I get up. I come out here, with difficulty, for some times my legs go back on me, and here, in the silence, 1 talk with the dead —” “It is during those night hours,” went on the aged man who so often governed France, “alone with ghosts, dear ghosts, that 1 have written my memories of Claude Monet. Ah 1 There come many of the dead, at night, into this room. “That is my destiny. I see them go, one after another, those 1 love, ull of them.” Then, facing the one who was so anxious to know who remembered him, file Tiger snapped out: “I am alone, monsieur, alone.” Russians Clamp Lid on Old-Time Music Washington, D. ('. —The thorough ness with which Soviet Russia is attempting to supplant utterly every part of tlie old order which existed before the revolution is un limited according to the reports brought back by travelers who have been investigating the Bolshevik ex periment. It is tlie fixed intent of the Soviet leaders to remake Russia so completely as to leave not a memory of the old days of the czar and the nobility, or, at least, not a pleasant memory. Knowing that intangible as well as tangible tilings have a di rect bearing upon the thoughts and aspirations of a people, the Russian officials have gone so far as to cen sor music and to encourage a whole new school of music. Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun, a Scotch philosopher, is the author of the famous observation: “Let me write the songs of a nation and 1 care not who makes file laws.” The Soviet leaders apparently have, every confidence in that statement and have effected a complete revolution in music in flu? last decade, just as they have changed the social order, remade the government, altered all practice concerning property owner ship and generally set up anew Rus sia. With as much care as was devoted to the dissemination of propaganda of a political and economic nature, the Soviet government created a special department charged with the revolutionizing of music.
