St. Mark 10:44. 1 Using All Of Her Colors 1 TEE AH BTCTirrSsfeSjfs Jo The Neurotic Child Again Though All Chumps Are Not Criminals Every Criminal Is Really A Chump By GLENN FRANK President of University of Wisconsin and Famous Editor (Copyright, McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Yesterday I presented thirty-four questions published by th Public Educational Association of the City of New York in a psycho-neurotic question, naire for children. I present the remainder of the questions today. As I said yesterday, it may be worth while to give yes and rw answers to these questions, and with them to consult an expert in psychology: 35.

Do you ever get so angry that you see red? 36. Do you stumble and fall over things more than other people? 37. Are you over-particular about your food? 38. Is there any one kind of food that makes you very sick? 39. Is there any kind of food that disgusts you so that you cannot eat it? 40.

Are you usually happy? 41. Do you ever feel that nobody loves you? 42. Do you ever wish you had never been born? 43. Do you ever wish you were dead? 44. Do you ever get so sulky that you will not answer people? 45.

Are your feelings often hurt so badly that ytju cry? 46. Do you ever giggle over nothing at all? 47. Is it easy to get you cross over small things? 48. Did you ever have a real fight? 49. Do you like to tease a person till they cry? 50.

Can you stand pain as quietly as others do? 51. Can you stand the sight of blood? 52. Do you ever feel a certain pleasure in hurting a person or an animal? 53. Did you ever have a nickname that you didn't like very well? 54. Do you feel that you are a little bit different from other people? 55.

Do you sometimes feel that nobody quite understands you? 56. Do you worry much over family matters? 57. Do you seem to have a harder time to get along in school than other children do? 58. Do you ever think stories to yourself so that you forget where you are? 59. Do you ever make believe that things you wish for are true? 60.

Do you ever feel that your parents are not really your own? Don't draw hasty conclusions from your child's answers to these questions. The answers do not more than give a good basis for consultation with an expert psychologist. In New York "I was a chump," said Banker Waggoner, "to think I could get away with it," after having committed a crime that puzzled the experts because of the simplicity of its design and execution. Waggoner believes he is a chump mainly because his design did not cover the act of getting away. But Waggoner, the chump, may console himself with the reflection that he is not the only one.

The jails of the country are bursting with them and there is a constant and increasing procession of young men on the way, all because their crimes did not include plans for the get-away. Ropes throughout the country are made taut and electric chairs are kept hot because so frequently it happens that one cannot get away with murder. Every criminal is not detected. It is not to the credit of his brain that that is so, but almost invariably to circumstances over which he had no control. Though he escaped, he is none the less a chump.

Criminals, master and otherwise, students of crime, writers of imagination have tried to devise the "perfect crime" and have failed. The "perfect crime" is an elaborately planned crime and therefore more or less intricate. But something seemingly of microscopic unimportance is forgotten and becomes the small thread by which the texture is unraveled. Fortv years ago about this time the most gigantic swindle in the history of this country was developing toward its end Arizona. The loot was to be almost the entire southern part of the territory, including the Salt River Valley and a part of New Mexico.

The man who planned it had a master-criminal mind. The plot was constructed at great expense and with an eye to every possible contingency. Church and official records running back for two hundred years had been manufactured or altered to support it. Such men as Collis P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific and Colonel Robert G.

Ingersoll, astute as they were, had been deceived by the man who had conceived, and almost unaided, had built up the crime. But the criminal was guilty of an apparently insignificant error. He either did not know, or was careless of the fact that a certain Spanish duke whose name was made to appear in the manipulated record, lived at a certain time. The record located him at a period fifty years distant. A man intimately familiar with Spanish history noted the error, pulled that little thread, the plot collapsed, and J.

Addison Peraltareavis spent five years in a federal prison, emerging a broken and penniless old man. There was never a more nearly perfect crime than the one he had so long and carefully constructed. It may be set down as a general, even a universal proposition, that the man or boy who seeks to get something worth while for nothing, is a chump. The law of compensation prevails and the man who oversteps that law becomes a ciriminal, large or small. He may be saved if he is taken young, but even then the chances are against his reclamation.

Notwithstanding the many agencies for reform and the vast amount of money and time expended for the restoration of criminals, only a comparatively few are actually and surely reclaimed. The first departure from the path of rectitude is a most serious one. The chances are that the one who takes it will never return but will go on and on until he is hopelessly lost in the jungle. Yet, at the beginning he was not a criminal, only a chump to wander away from a path which all human experience had taught is the one to be followed, to enter upon another, a dangerous path because it leaves the true one. Only chumps travel in the by-paths.

There is no special lesson the belated wandering of Banker Waggoner. His case is only one of millions, as common as the events of birth and death. He was only, by reason of his former position, a more conspicuous chump than the criminals, young and old, already in jails and penitentiaries, the Hotels de Chump. By GILBERT SWAN Sellers of Second-Hand Books Often (Ph And 01115 A University of tha Masses SuckMES By FREDERIC 4. HASKIN Severe Burns Not Necessarily Fatal The deal was closed and the books were crated and sent into New York.

A few days later the entire library appeared in the aheap book racks that decorate the fronts of all such stores. There they were mauled and skipped over by the usual crowd of passers-by who edge up to bargain stalls. Some were grabbed up, and some were left. It so happened that a young man connected with a book store in lower Fifth avenue was passing and stopped to see what the bargains might be. As his eyes glanced over the titles, they suddenly fastened upon one in particular.

"Jumpin' Jehoshaphat or perhaps stronger language 'Say, what'll you take for this?" "They're all marked at a dollar," said old dealer. The young man, who knew a great deal about rare editions, hopped a taxi that he might reach his office more hurriedly. Almost atremble he checked up his sources yes, there it was! He had bought a first edition of Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher" for $1. There are but two such first editions loose in the world. I'm told that, knowing his market, he at once got on the phone and called Colonel Owen Young.

And I'm told that the price was $20,000. I'm also told that Colonel Young has since refused $75,000 for it. There's a slight sequel to this story: Some weeks after the young man had picked up his dollar bargain, the old book dealer fell ill. He had to close his shop, and not having enough money to buy decent medical care for himself, he died not so many weeks ago. The books in his store were peddled off to pay his funeral expenses.

He had had $75,000 in his grasp for a few hours and hadn't known it. Let Fortunes Slip Through Their Fingers Without Knowing It As, For Example, the Following. JEW YORK, Sept. 12 The world of rare old books contain more fantastic tales than the books themselves. The tireless efforts with which collectors track down a desired volume often rival the sleuthings of a Sherlock Holmes.

Now and then some much-desired volume gets lost in the shuffle, and its adventures are strange indeed. Such a tale came to me the other day, over a lunch table where the boys and girls of the literary world gather. And the strangest part of it is, it appears to be true. It goes something like this: In Fourth street, where the book shops flourish I mean the second-hand shops there was for years a little stall, operated by one of those withered and bent old fellows who move through old book and furniture stores like ghosts of another day. There is a raggedness about them, indicating a day to day struggle for existence.

Book fanciers can prowl by the hour or the day in their stores, and the old fellows do not press them for a sale. They live in a dusty world of bound volumes and yellowing pages. Books and proprietors somehow come to take on a strange kinship. They begin even to look alike after a time. I've seen them wearing aged coats that matched perfectly the faded book covers.

Anyhow, the old chap traded in libraries as well as in single volumes. He heard about an eccentric old gent up in Long Island who had died, leaving a large library which the heirs were eager to sell. The dealer looked hurriedly through the titles and made a flat offer of for the lot. Q. What cities have the largest airports in the United States? D.

E. M. A. The four largest In the United States are located at Oakland, El Paso, Houston, and Columbus. O.

Q. In what states of the Union are oranges grown? W. M. A. Oranges are raised in Arizona, Southern California, Florida, Alabama.

Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. They are too delicate to grow further north than the 32nd parallel. Q. Do swallows carry bedbugs7 J. W.

A. Swallows do not carry bedbugs. However, they have their own parasites, which resemble bedbugs. Q. When was the Woolworth building built? H.

H. A. The foundations of the Wool-worth building were laid on November 15, 1911, and the tower was completed in July, 1912. The estimated cost of the building was Q. Please give some information about Valdez, Alaska.

H. A. Valdez, Alaska, is a town on Prince William Sound. It is the most northerly port open during the department of many factories or other industrial institutions. Any oil or grease on the burned surface must be removed before the tannic acid is applied.

Sterile gauze or gauze bandage Is laid over the burned spot or spots and this is soaked with two and one-half per cent solution of the tannic acid. Roughly, four teaspoonfuls of dry tannic acid to one glass of water makes a two and one-half per cent solution. The solution must be made fresh each time. Until such time as this tannic acid becomes a part of every factory and household equipment, it is well to remember that strongly brewed tea may take the place of tannic acid. This can be poured gently or sprayed on the burned surface.

After the first application a film or coagulum begins to form and the severe pain disappears. So don't wait to go any distance to secure tannic acid if you have tea vailable. Remember that it should be real strong. The treatment prevents shock, prevents poisoning, and lessens greatly the amount of scar tissue. I have spoken before about accompanying a railroad surgeon in his rounds after an accident in which 27 victims were removed to the hospital.

looting one of the victims chatting with his relatives I was of the opinion that his case was not serious and that he would likely recover, and questioned the surgeon as to his chances. The surgeon shook his head and said, "That poor fellow hasn't a chance, there is too much of his body surface burned." Such proved to be the case. How differently surgeons, physicians, and nurses feel about these serious burns, now that the tannic acid treatment has been shown to save these formerly fatal cases. In previous days the doctor carried tubes of carron oil (linseed oil and lime water) which was applied to simple burns. For more severe burns the continuous bath treatment was used which meant constant care with poor results very often.

The tannic acid treatment is very simple. Tannic acid In powdered form is carried in the doctor's bag, and is now on the shelves in the first aid The Country's Face Undergoing Change I The Eight Months Of This Valley Tniiv tviis has reen a exeat dis covery for mankind, preventing suffering and saving many lives. More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague Do You Remember winter and is on the great interior Alaskan stage route. The junction of the cable and land lines is made here.

It has a population of 500. Q. Is it true that land cannot be bought in the city of Baltimore? P. C. W.

A. Land In the city of Baltimore is owned by the city. One may own a house, but must pay rent on the ground. Q. Why was the type of architecture termed Gothic given that name? C.

T. A. Originally the term was applied contempt by adherents of the classical school which accepted the Romanesque style. They considered the pointed arch barbarous and grotesque, therefore, Gothic. It soon made a place for itself and was widely employed throughout Europe in the construction of cathedrals, churches and abbeys.

Q. Were annuities known before life insurance was issued? M. B. A. Annuities are much older.

Possibly they were known to the Assyrians and Babylonians. The first record of an annuity is in Rome in 40 B. C. Q. When was the first organization to promote peace started? T.

H. A. William Allen end Joseph Price organized a peace society in London in 1816, and the first peace society on the European continent It is thought by some optimistic republicans that the selection of Claudius Huston of Tennessee as chairman of the republican national committee will strengthen the party in the south. That may be an effect in some degree, but that effect will be less marked now than it would have been a few years ago. Geographical or sectional lines are much less sharply drawn than they used to be.

There yet exists a south, but it is much less solid than it was, and will probably never regain its old solidarity. The prejudices which set the north and the south against each other had been growing vague even before the extraordinary events of last year. Whether or not the solid south may be brought back will depend in a great measure upon the conduct of the eastern and New England democracy. Neither of the great parties is as solid as it used to be. There have arisen sectional differences in each.

By sectional we do not here mean geographical differences. The influence of a party chairman and party leadership will be determined by the opinions represented by leaders rather than by representation from any geographical area. It is conceivable that there may be a change of alignment in each of the great parties. The traditions of the democratic party handed down from a shadowy past and those more recent ones of the republican party, dating from Lincoln, have lost much of their hold upon their members. People are not now so much impressed by the inquiry "What would Lincoln have done in this emergency?" "Or, Jefferson or Jackson in that?" If we could know what those illustrious statesmen would do, we could not be sure that the wisdom they exercised in dealing with the problems of their own times would offer a solution of those entirely new ones which perplex us of the present.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL "When my forehead began, day by das', to recede I was filled with alarm and despair For Nature, I thought in dismay, had decreed That 1 soon should lose all of my hair. Though my face isn't like Rudy Valee'B at all And denies me all cause to be vain I knew, if the rest of my tresses should fall It of course would be even more plain. The barbers to whom I confided my fears Trotted numerous remedies out And declared if I'd use them a couple of years My hair simply couldn't fall out. I applied every one with meticulous care Yet, although the recession was slow, Every year I discovered a little less hair In the place ''where the hair ought to grow. Undespairing, I spoke to.my medical friends, Who, though most of them bald as the Alps, Informed me that living more carefully tends To bring hair to refractory scalps.

So I gave up bad habits, went early to bed And refused to be jocund and gay, But the bright shining tract on the top of my head Continued to spread day by day. Today, I am told that when hair starts to go There is nothing at all to be done It will fall, though its progress be rapid or slow. Till the course of the baldness has run. But each day the few last fading locks that remain With massage sure cures I attack And though I have thus far applied them In vain I still think that hair will come back. We have now come to that season of the year when is ushered in eight months of the most delectable climate In the United States, a land where it "is always afternoon." The other four months have been maligned, but those who familiarize themselves with them by continued residence prefer them to the same four months in the eastern and middle states.

We have for some years been proclaiming them with our "Phoenix, Summer Resort" sign without any qualms of conscience for having violated the ethics of the "Honesty in Advertising" movement. The sign, by the way, will shortly be replaced by the winter resort sign which expert painters are engaged in refurbishing. But we are talking about the next eight months and not the last four. The only previous drawback on our climate in the eight months period has been that the story of it was not as well known throughout the country as Jt should have been and as it is coming to be now. The fame of it has been spreading the last four years and the circle of the spread has been widening.

That was the reason we had so many more people in the valley last season than ever before, and why there will be a still greater throng this year. They are coming earlier and in larger numbers. The express and delivery companies say that they have never before handled such a vast volume of household impedimenta in September as they have already handled in the little more than one-third of this month. The people seem to have come early, not so much for the climate it is a little early for that but to be sure that they will find places. Some, in fact, for that reason, had come in the latter part of July.

We can soon settle down now to the enjoyment of a kind of weather unlike that of any other part of the country, a mild and cheering warmth of the afternoon, the restful balminess of the mornings and crisp and bracing evenings, a freedom from depressing fogs and from long-continued rains. This is the place and this is the life and the way. 20 Years Ago: Sept. 13, 1909 Mrs. Agnes Mealey has returned from Seattle, where she spent the summer with the family of her son, William Mealey.

She was accompanied home by her grandson, Willie, who is a native of Phoenix, and will attend school here during the coming winter. Mrs. Mealey is glad to be home again, for she was not greatly enamored of the summer weather at eSattle. Judge Ernest W. Lewis of Globe is in the city, coming down to attend to a number of matters of personal business.

It is the first visit of Judge Lewis since he left here early in the summer to assume his judicial duties in the eartern district. The first person to come forward and frankly admit that he knows Dr. Frederick A. Cook, twin discoverer of the north pole, is Harry J. Bennett.

Mr. Bennett not only 'knows the discoverer but he -has been one of his best friends for thirty-five years and is not ashamed of it. Mr. Bennett was invited by Dr. Cook to go the arctic regions with him.

Major General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of the United States army, will be in Prescott today to inspect Fort Whipple. Incidentally, he will get a peep at the Arizona National Guard in battle array. Governor Sloan left last night for Prescott to meet the general. It is expected that General Bell will be in Phoenix on Tuesday morning.

Harry J. Jones, a well known property owner of this city, who calls this his home when he is not in New York or somewhere else, arrived in Phoenix on one of his occasional visits. He spent the summer in the northwest attending the Seattle fair in company with Mrs. Jones, who returned to New York. About a year ago a Papago Indian boy.

killed another lad of the same tribe in the vicinity of Gila Bend. The Indian agent at Sacaton has written the steriff of this county that he had heard that recently the father of the murdered boy, taking two relatives with him, went- to the home of the Lof the boy-slayer and killed her. The agent could furnish no details nor was the scene of the murder located in the letter. 40 Years Ago: Sept. 13, 1889 David Wright, a prospector and nephew of A.

H. Peeples, was brought in yesterday paralyzed in the face and the left side. He had leased his mine in the Bradshaw mountains to two men with whom he had been associated. Losing his mules, he walked two days in search of them and then rode in the hot Eun to Tiptop. On returning to the camp he became blind and helpless.

One of the lessees thereupon took the ore that had been mined to Prescott; the other went to work elsewhere, and Wright was deserted. For a long time he lay in this pitiful condition, without even a drink of water. Luckily, Frank Butler's pack train came that way and Wright was tied to a mule and taken to Castle Creek Hot Springs and thence to Phoenix. Sheriff Shaw of Pima county left Phoenix yesterday with Bill Warren, who was arrested here last Tuesday on a telegram from Tucson. Warren had received $200 from a Globe mining man to invest in supplies.

On reaching Tucson he invested it in a poker game and rum, his financial ventures resulting in a total loss. He fled to Phoenix, leaving his principal's team at a livery stable loaded down with a board bill. Ernest Arnas has received the post of clerk and interpreter at the San Carlos agency. The office pays handsomely. Mr.

Arnas has acted as interpreter for the various courts of Phoenix to the great satisfaction of court, jury, lawyers and litigants. He has a very pleasant manner and will be missed by his friends. William Gilson and Surveyor Todd are running lines at Luke's place, corner of Maricopa and Washington streets. The intention is to build several stores in the rear, and, perhaps, enlarge the front building. A citizen sends in a written complaint to Marshal Blankenship which, if signed by anybody, would be sufficient cause for abatement of the nuisance complained of.

A "Citizen" will confer a favor on the community by making the complaint in proper form. Captain Jinks and Charley Cowell, ore freighters from Harqua Hala, are town after grain. General Wolfe Killed On Sept. 13, 1759, James Wolfe, the famous British general, was killed in a battle on the Plains of Abraham, a mile south of Quebec, while attempting to drive the French out of Canada. The first step In the scheme to expel the Prpnch hari aa ita nhloot the capture of Quebec.

Wolfe sailed from England in February and four months later landed on the Isle of Orleans, a few miles below Quebec. Wolfes force numbered about 9000 men. Including six companies of New England troops, while the French strength comprised a garrison of 2000 men at Quebec and 14,000 men. of whom only a small part were regulars, at Beauport, below the town. After failing in two attacks, olfe decided to cross the St.

Lawrence river and scale the heights above the town, a hazardous procedure. The French were surprised and in a few hours 4500 men, with two guns, had climbed the steep heights and were drawn up on the plains. They were then engaged by a French army of about the same number, but the French lines were shattered by the British fire and broke. As he led the charge, Wolfe was struck three times and was forced to lie down. He died while the pursuit was still under way, DISCOVERY Homer heard old songs turn up again, so there must have been musical comedy in ancient Greece.

TAKING A CHANCE The reaction of American parents to Mr. Edison's choice of a Brightest Boy, will be about the same as the reaction of the vast majority of mothers at the prize award at a baby show.
