NEW YORK MAN TOOK HONESTY CENSUS Magazine Writer Mailed One Hundred One Dollar Bills “By Mistake”; Only 64 Sent Back. Mt. Ayr Tritune. ’• Cleveland Moffett, a New York magazine writer, recently took his lantern in hand, figuratively speaking, and like kiogenes of old went hunting for honest men —and women. Desiring to knotv whether New Yorkers really -were as honest as he believed them, he mailed 100 one dollar bills to a carefully selected list of 50 men and 50 women, all apparently addressed to the wrong parties. Each envelope also carried a return address, which would enable, (.the recipient to send back the money. The result was most illuminating. One widely kpown millionaire was among £he men who “swiped” the dollar. Women were shown to be more hoqgflkwthan men, for 33 out of them returned the money,abut only 31 men did so. Only one saloon keeper out of five “came across,” and of all the groups of five which the lists were divided into, none but successful business women made a perfect score for honesty. Those who kept the money were: Women —two wives of prosperous citizens, two actresses, two stenographers, two trained nurses, one teacher, two housekeepers, two working girls, two women doctors and two women lawyers. Men —two successful merchants, one rich man, one lawyer, four saloon men, two plumbers, two aldermen, one newspaper man, one actor, three doctors and two policemen.

Alcohol and Mental Defectives. The term “feeble-minded” is now used as a generic term to include all classes of mental defectiveness, except the insane. There are three general classes of mental defectives, namely, morons, imbeciles and idiots. There are three other classes, mongols, cretins, and moral imbeciles. It is exceedingly difficult definitely to prove the effect of alcohol in the production of these classes of defectives. Doctor Femald says: “I should say that the greater number of fathers of our defectives are alcoholic, although not always to excess.” Doctor Martin Barr considered that approximately six per cent of mental defect is caused by alcohol. Shuttleworth and Beach, English experts, hold that sixteen per cent of mental defect is due to alcohol. Ruez observed idiocy common among the miners of Westphalia, who, living apart from their wives, return home on holidays and generally get drunk. Delesaime says that at Cereme, whose wealth is in its vineyards, the inhabitants in consequence of a ten years’ vine disease, wdre forced to remain sober, and of children bom during this period, mental defect was appreciably lessened. Professor Demme found that the direct posterity of ten families of drunkards amounted to fifty-seven children, twenty-five died soon after birth, of the remainder, six were idiots, five dwarfs, five epileptics, one each had chorea, chronic hydrocephalus hair lip, and club foot. Two of the epileptics became alcoholics. In ten normal abstaining families, among sixty-one children, five died soon after birth, four suffered from curable nervous affection and two had congenital defects; 81.9 per cent were sound in body and mind during child; hood and youth, while only 17.5 per cent of the cihldren of the alcoholic families were normal. While it cannot be denied that the toxic action of alcoholism in the father may be a direct cause of idiocy, one must also consider the associated cause, namely, the mental condition of the mother. If the father is a dipsomaniac, thus causing constant worry and anxiety to the mother, the result is most likely to find expression in the mental life of the child. The intemperance of mothers is thought to be particularly likely to result in mental defect in the offspring.James Norvel Crutcher, Member Missouri State Board of Charities and Corrections.
