Danger in Impetuous Demand for Reform in
Administration of Justice
By CHIEF JUSTICE I)E YOUNG, Illinois Supreme Court
TJIE public is being awakened to that vigilance which is the cost
of good government. Still, there is a need for caution that we
do not overstep ourselves. There are modern philosophers who
are impatient to wipe out the restraints in law that have proved
their value through the ages. On the streets and in the press almost
daily there is someone who would remove the presumption of innoceneo
from a criminal trial. Someone else wants to remove the requirement
that guilt must lie proved beyond a reasonable doubt. These are rules
that must he retained or the administration of justice will retrograde cen
turies.
However, I would bo the last one to say that our courts are efficient,
that, they have kept abreast of the times. Take the law, for example,
that makes a jury in a criminal case judge of the law as well as the fact.
This presumes that twelve men know more about the technicalities of
our Constitution, our common law, our statutes and our Supreme court
opinions than does the presiding magistrate who has devoted his life to
the study. The law, enacted in 1845, should be abolished.
Our faults lie as much in the organization of our courts as in the
laws. There is much room for legislative improvement. But the legis
lature doesn’t always move with celerity. There is nothing dramatici
about reforming court procedure, nothing there to attract a legislator
anxious to please his constituents. The judiciary has little political
power. It has no patronage, it lias no funds to distribute. But the pub
lic is aroused by the weaknesses of our criminal prosecutions, and the
public will get the needed reforms.
’ ody’s Fault but His Own if Man Fails in
This Modern Life
By BISHOP B. F. P. IVINS.
If a man misses his mark in life, you can be sure it is his own fault.
This in spite of the so-called behavioristic psychology, of which we have
been hearing so much of late, telling us that we are absolutely fixed hv
what our inheritance and environment have made us and that if we knew
perfectly what a man’s environment and inheritance were we could plot
his mental reaction and how he would respond to any given stimulus.
This kind of a theory is nonsense. The psychologists are beginning
to acknowledge it as nonsense. Men do not act that way. Man is respon
sible if he fails to come up to the mark. Man is a free agent; in theo
logical terminology, he has a free will.
Sin is nothing more than missing the mark. There are certain overt
acts which men generally agree to be sins, such as murder, stealing, ly
ing. Then we seem to catalogue sins by degrees and some we condone,
such as divorce, cheating in business, the diplomatic lie, gossip, tale bear
ing and scandal. You cannot classify sin in that way. Our Lord never
once, as far as we have a record, condemned an overt act of omis
sion, but lie condemns the sins which we today are inclined to ignore,
those of commission.
Self-examination and cleansing of moral wrongs is the great need
of all Christians.

Youth Handicapped by Multiplicity of Rules
Laid Down by Elders
By DR. BRUNO ROSELLI, Vassar College.
Since Eve woman has gone on liking being pretty and being told
so. Men fool themselves when they tell women they are working hard to
make sums of money for them. They do not realize that it isn’t so much
their making of millions that women want, as to have them spend an
evening at home telling their wives how nice they look.
Youth is seriously handicapped by a multiplicity of rules and laws
that the older generation has seen fit to weave. Instead of making things
easier for youth by helping develop the fundamentals that go for respon
sibility, we have created more laws, and then given the impression that
they may be broken as one isn’t found out. All around we see the worst
kind of super-hypocritical structures of society.
I have no patience with a youth demanding freedom without respon
sibility, but I have the utmost sympathy with that quality of youth which
demands freedom from unfair shackles imposed by the older generation,
in order thnt its own sense of responsibility may have an opportunity to
develop.
More Extensive Training of Country Teachers
Only Fair to Rural Child
By ETTA 0. CHRISTENSEN, Minnesota Educator.
If the rural child is to have a square deal, the schools must do much
better. One year is too short a time to make the necessary preparation
for teaching in a rural school.
When we compare the qualifications of rural teaching today with
those of 10 years ago, we feel that great improvement has been made,
and yet we must do better if the rural child is to have the square deal
to which he is entitled.
The problem is before us of standards to be met by entrants to the
rural curricula, courses to be pursued during the training period and re
quirements to be met in practice teaching. Two years should be the
minimum for this hardest of all teaching jobs. The practice teaching
should occur in the second year and should be of two kinds: Teaching
in the grades and teaching in our typical rural schools.
Gospel, to Be Attractive, Must Put Forward
Demand for Devotion
By REV. C. LESLIE GLENN (Episcopal), Chicago.
A Christian gospel, similar to thnt which drew men to the service
of the nation during the World war, is one of the great needs. The
present generation is “spiritually wistful.”
Too often the mild demands of orthodoxy have led young people to
find atheism almost more of an advantage than faith. A tame gospel will
always fail. Life cannot be bought cheap.
The gospel for the age must have in it a demand for the same devo
tion that was called out by the World war. The war was the one thing
that lifted men out of their own selfish concerns and gave purpose to life.
In spite of its horrors, it provided a reason for existence.
For most men, nothing like it has come along since. Many are in a
state of mild desperation, tamed and conformed, looking back on the
great days when there was a world to be fought for.

TOIM
GROWING CHICKS
REQUIRE PROTEIN
Larger Amounts Given First
and Gradually Decreased.
"Increase In muscle and nerve tis
sue and the total weight of growing
chicks, is largely due to the protein
content of the feed ration,” said Prof.
G. F. Ileuser, nt the Cornell university
at Ithaca, N. Y.
Chicks grow rapidly in the begin
ning. During the first month they
have the fastest growth, and after the
second month the rate of growth be
gins to decrease until the time of
maturity. Since protein is needed for
growth larger amounts should be fed
at first, and less as the chicks grow
older.”
According to Professor Ileuser, the
experiments at Cornell show that cer
tain amounts of protein are best for
chicks at different ages and that feed
ing more than these amounts will not
give greater growth, but that feeding
less than these amounts is apt to
result in decreased growth.
These experiments show that the
best amount of protein in the feed for
chicks from one to six weeks old is
20 per cent; for chicks of from 6 to
12 weeks, 17 per cent; and for those
from 12 to 20 weeks old, 14.5 per
cent.
Large amounts of protein feed will
not hasten maturity, but enougii
should be fed so that the best pos
sible growth can be attained at the
time of maturity and this will mean
larger eggs and better production.
Cannibalism Is Serious
Habit Among Hen Flock
What is known among poultry rais
ers of experience as cannibalism
among hens is in many cases a real
ly serious proposition. If a hen with
nothing else to occupy her gets to
pecking at one of her mates and per
chance plucks a feather and that
feather perchance is anew one and
a little blood should appear, another
and more vigorous peck is made; this
time a real wound is made and more
blood is brought forth. From this
time on this old hussy becomes a
veritable cannibal. Others of the
flock are more than likely to join
her in this cannibalism and it takes
but a short while for them to actually
get their victim down and tear her ‘o
pieces. Poultry experts of the Ohio
Experiment Station have found that
trimming off the point of the under
beak just about down to the quick
will at once stop the mischievous
work of an individual so treated.
Sometimes it is but necessary to trim
one or two individuals that happen
to be leaders in the trouble.
Crooked Breast Bones
in Turkeys Avoidable
There are two things responsible for
crooked breast bone in turkeys. The
first would be faulty breeding, that is,
because there is a lack of the min
eral matter of the right sort, because
of faulty metabolism of the same. An
other reason is faulty roosting places
or letting them roost too early, that
is, a round roost is more likely to
cause a crooked breast bone than a
flat one and too small a roost, that is,
a roost that is too small in diameter
is more likely to cause crooked breast
bones than a flat roost. The toms
naturally are heavier than the pullets
and a round roost or a roost that is
too narrow would account for the fact
that the toms had crooked breast
bones while the pullets had none.
Theories to Determine
Sex of Little Chicks
Many rules and theories have been
proposed for determining the sex of
the chicks at hatching or even from
the egg. To date, most methods have
proved unreliable. In the Barred
Plymouth Rock breed, the size of the
white spot on the head may be used
to separate with some degree of accu
racy the two sexes. The chicks with
the large head spots are usually males.
The crossing of certain breeds will re
sult in chicks, the sex of which may
he separated relatively accurately on
the basis of color.
Brooding Chicks
The most important consideration in
brooding chicks is to keep them al
ways on fresh soil to prevent the con
traction of disease and parasites which
come from soil recently used by other
fowls. In order to prevent soil con
tamination the brooder house needs
to be of a type which can he moved
easily. To make the brooder house
safe from rats and other vermin, it
must have a tight floor, and in order
to be readily movable this floor must
be made of boards.
Care of Young Turkeys
The young turkeys, when first
hatched, require good attention. First,
look for lice and be sure to get rid
of every one or they will get the young
turkeys. Use any good insect powder,
dusting it on them, then put them in
a paper sack and shake them up. Sec
ond, be sure to keep them dry and
warm—not too closely confined. Place
the mother in a coop with a little
pen in front so the little turkeys can
not run away, for, at first they are
very shy.
Runaway Building
Nearly Wrecks Train
Red Wing, Minn.—A railway
wreck was narrowly averted
here when an engineer brought
his train to n stop just a few
feet short of a “runaway build
ing," which blocked the tracks.
The building, it may be ex
plained, got away from work
men who were moving it from
one location to another.
The Chicago Great Western
railway engineer saw tlie ob
struction in time to halt his
train. Workmen hacked away
one corner of the building and
the train continued its journey.
FALLS UNDER TRAIN,
SLEEPS SOUNDLY ON
Doesn’t Waken When Dragged
Out Unhurt.
New York. —Peter Backe, Bronx, I.
R. TANARUS„ repairman, sat on a bench in
the Hunter’s Point station of the sub
way in Long Island City recently and
yawned. He had been working all
night and he was sleepy. He stood
up to keep awake to catch a train.
But his lids closed and he fell
asleep on his feet. The rumble of the
approaching train failed to rouse him.
He swayed. At that moment the train
thundered in and Backe fell in front
of it. Three cars rumbled past be
fore the brakes applied by Motorman
Charles McGuirk stopped the train.
A few minutes later the emergency
crew reached the station with a
clanging of bells. A member of the
squad crawled under the train and
found Backe wedged snugly in tiie
depression of the rails.
Tlie policeman cocked his ears in
credulously as he heard a stentorian
snore. He seized Backe by the legs
and dragged him out into the light.
The snoring continued. On the way
to St. John’s hospital the repairman
slept, and even when he was lifted
to a cot. •
"Unconscious?” the policeman asked
Doctor Pisera.
“No; just a natural nap. He isn’t
even hurt,” said the ambulance sur
geon, and a particularly stentorian
snore verified the diagnosis.
Husband Slayer Walks
Out of Detroit Prison
Detroit, Mich. —Mrs. Maude Cushing
Storick, serving a life sentence for
the murder of her husband, Claude
Cushing, escaped recently from the
Detroit House of Correction. The
murderess, who for the last three
months has been the private cook for
the family of Edward Denniston, su
perintendent of the Detroit institu
tion, walked to liberty after discard
ing her prison garb for clothing be
lieved to have been smuggled to her
by an accomplice.
The escape was noticed shortly
after nine o’clock when Mrs. Minnie
Walters, matron in charge of women
trusties in the Denniston residence,
found Mrs. Storick’s cell empty. Po
lice and prison guards were dis
patched at once to watch all railway
and bus terminals. A reward of SIOO
was offered for her capture. Mrs.
Storick is termed “a dangerous and
exceptionally clever woman.”
Cheese Rolling Rolls
Two Thieves to Jail
San Francisco. —Two San Francisco
policemen had never seen a profes
sional etieese roller in action before,
and as a result they captured two
would-be thieves.
Corporal John Reed noticed a large
cheese rolling slowly down one of San
Francisco’s 33 hills and behind it a
furtive appearing character guiding
its progress with a stick.
Corporal Reed took charge of the
cheese’s progress and guided it —as
well as its previous master—to the
city jail. The would-be thief con
fessed, but would not tell where he
got the cheese.
Just as the thief was about to be
locked up in rolled another cheese,
and behind it came another policeman
and another would-be thief.
Tiie story just had to come out
then. There was a big shipment of
cheeses at pier 19 and some of the
boys just couldn’t resist the tempta
tion of rolling them awray.
Helpless Man Sends Dog
With Note to Neighbor
Cornell, Wis. —Charles Minick, a
road patrolman, lay helpless in his
bachelor home near here suffering
from a violent attack of rheumatism.
Minick called his airedale dog to . the
bedside, tied a message to the dog’s
collar and repeated the name of a
neighbor several times. The message
was delivered by the animal and
Minick was taken to town and given
medical care.
For Being Helpful
New York. —Disarming a holdup
man is one thing, but trying to turn
over the captured firearm to New
York police is something else. Oliver
Deardorff, taxi driver, did just that
and was arrested for illegal posses
sion of firearms.
Gets Huge Wildcat
Antigo, Wis.—Bounty was claimed
recently by Woodie Gibbs on a wild
cat that weighed 55 pounds and
measured almost six feet from front
paws to the tip of the tail.
