Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor has put thee to shame. Proverbs 25:8. Punishing the Mothers WHEN seven 17-year-old boys, who had appropriated other people’s automobiles for joyriding purposes, heard their punishment pronounced in Criminal Court ‘last Saturday, the heavier punishment for their misdeeds was falling upon others than the guilty miscreants—their mothers. The publicity attached to the arrest, confessions, indictments, trials and sentencing of these youthful joyriders was more hurtful to these mothers than the sentences imposed on the boys. The newspapers, in giving publicity to the cases of the seven youths, were party to the administering of this punishment. The Times regrets the pain it caused the mothers by the recital of their boys’ pranks and the consequences of their wrongful possession of motor cars. But we are hopeful as a direct result of these cases not only that these same boys will not repeat their offenses, but that other boys will be guiltless of taking autos for joyriding parties, and that other mothers will be spared the punishment that falls on the one who deserves a better reward’for the sacrifices she makes in the grave adventure of bringing a son into the world. Searching at Sea THE war of 1812 was fought because the British insisted on searching American ships at sea to find runaway sailors of the royal navy. After a lapse of 110 years, America has requested permission to search British ships at sea to find contraband ram. Thus does time prove the perennial inconsistency of life. Great Britain upheld the right to search in 1812 and America went to war to prevent it. Now that America wishes to do the searching Great Britain is likely to refuse. On the whole, it is better to keep the high seas neutral. Searching at sea is open to more abuses than the good results can justify. The places to stop smuggling are at the source and the terminals. Too many innocent victims would be caught in the net midway. American Dollars Abroad A QUARTER of a million Americans, from all parts of the United States, are visiting Europe this summer. The Americans, in interviews and letters, say the Europeans don’t want them. The Europeans accuse the sightseers of eating Europe’s scanty food supplies and taking back to America Europe's diminishing stocks of goods. The argument is foolish. The American pay for what they get in Europe with American dollars. Europe needs American dollars more than anything else, and they are hard getting. An American traveler is Europe’s best asset. “When the American purchases an umbrella in Germany, to carry back home, he is pre- ! senting the Germans with enough do’lars to buy the raw material for a dozen new umbrellas. The German complaint that there are only a limited number of umbrellas in the fatherland would not be valid if Germany had enough money to buy more. American dollars give Germany thisj added purchasing ability. The Europeans ought to understand that j fact. Few of them appear to do so. But, that only means the war’s effect is still making clear fhinking difficult.

Q. —How may one make “vinegar bees” and what is their value? A.—The Department of Agriculture has issued a warning to persons advising against the use of the so-called “vinegar bees,” “Beer bees,” “Afr.can bees.” “California bees,” “Australian bees,” etc., these names being applied to a kind of wild yeast or ferment which, as far as can be learned, was originated by the mountaineers of Tennessee and Kentucky. The primitive process for making ‘bees” was to expose to the air a mixture of corn meal and molasses until it had become impregnated with wild yeast or other bacteria. The ferment so produced was employed locally in making a sort of vinegar by adding it to a. mixture of water and either brown sugar or molasses, which then was allowed to work or ferment. Many advertisers of these products are at present making extravagant claims. Some go as far as to say the fermented mixture is beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism and kidney trouble, claims Vhich have no foundation in fact. In the opinion of the department’s specialists, a product made hy catching yeast and bacteria indiscriminately from the air may well be harmful. They cannot recommend this substance'at all for making vinegar. Q. —On what day of the week did September 24. 1908, come? A.—On Thursday. Q. —When will Easter come in May?

The number of stars was subsequently increased to thirteen. The Confedera’e battle flag used throughout the war consisted of a field of red on which was a blue St. Andrew’s cross bordered with white and bearing thirteen white stars. In 1563 the Confederate Congress adopted a flag having a white field with a union or canton of the battle flag. This was sometimes mistaken for a flag of truce, so in 1865 a red oar was imposed across the end of the field. Q-—Why are the Normans and Sax ons depicted as hating the Jews in “Ivanhoe”?

TREASURELURES TOILERS 01 NEW LODGEBUILDIIG Gold Hoarded During Civil War at Site of K. of C. Club house Spurs Workmen. SECRECY ATTENDED ACT German Baker Thought to Have Buried Fortune at Outbreak of Rebellion. By United Press RACINE, Wis., Aug. I.—Lure of hidden treasure surround an old building on one of the principal streets here. A miser's hoard of gold is buried there, acccording to pioneers. The mystery, more than half a century old, may be solved when the Knights of Columbus raze the old structure preparatory to beginning construction of anew clubhouse Mrs. C. W. Tlege, mother of Charles Tiege, superintendent of city charities, whose family the old property was deeded, remembers the story. *• “Some day the fortune will be found.” she contends. Built Before Civil War The old structure was built prior to the Civil War by a German bake. His name has been forgotten by Mrs. Tiege. The baker was so miserly, pioneers say. that his wife’s face bore unmistakable signs of hunger. The wife was a gaunt, silent woman. The baker prospered: fortune smiled upon him and it wa3 said through his saving he had amassed a large fortune. Then the Civil War broke oiit. Confederate armies routed the Union forces at Bull Run. Rumors of other catastrophes rea -hod the North. “Rebels are marching north, capturing and looting towns, torturing inhabitants to make them turn over their possessions.” was one of the sto ries that spread through the '^orth. Fearing loss of his wealth, the old baker withdrew his savings, cashed all his securities and tlonds and under cover of darkness buried the treasure somewhere within his house. This much his Yvife knew; but he never revealed the hiding place to her. for fear she might divulge the secret if tortured by rebel or bandits. Tried to Tell Sporet Before Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomatox. the baker died. He tried to tell his wife the secret of the hidden treasure, but death interrupted. The wife prospected. For months she dug around in the basement and finally followed her mate to the grave New owners of the property, refusing to place any credence in the story, prohibited digging in the basement. Tl, " v 'eared digging would undermine the walls. If the story is true the gold will be found when the foundation for the new Knights of Columbus clubhouse is built, officers of the organization say. i ntii liien, they have announced no one will be allowed to approach the property with shovel or spade.

In j so doing, they usu —.4C”i ally are shut in doors all' day. 5 Deep breathing is invaluable to them. They should seize the chance, when ever offered, to step outdoors and snatch a dozen or so deep breaths. It Is surprising to what an extent this simple exercise will offset hours in doors. Ordinarily only about one-tenth of the lung content is changed at each breath. In deep breathing, a much larger percentage is changed, the whole lung Is forced into action, and the blood circulation in the abdomen is better maintained. Thus, too. the circulation throughout the body is equalized. Also, increased blood pres sure, due to nervous or emotional causes is lowered. Breathing exercises should bo deep slow, rhythmic and through the nose An Oriental breathing exercise con sists of closing one nostril and inhal lng through the other, breathing out of the first nostril and then reversing the process. One can tell whether his breathing is regular or not hy listen ing to the slight sound of the air pass ing through the one open nostril. Muscular exercises are good to start deep breathing, and it Is well to take the two together, but deep breathing by itself is beneficial, if slow. Forced rapid breathing is valueless, even harmful.

Economic Pressure Will End Irish Turmoil and Force Stabilized Populace, Envoy Says

By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—“ Economic pressure will bring about a united Ireland. “The industrial, shipping and banking interests of Ulster will not accept readily a situation in which the business of the greater part of Ireland will pass from their control. “And this must inevitably be the case if Ulster does not become a part of the Irish Free State. “In ■ spite of all influences seeking to disrupt Ireland and keep Ulster out of the Free State, every consideration points to the certainty of its entering the union within a comparatively brief period.” Such are the opinions of T. A. Smiddy, diplomatic representative of the, provisional Irish government in Washington. Erin’s First Envoy When the government of the Free State becomes fully stabilized it is expected Smiddy will be the first accredited diplomatic representative of the "Old Sod" to Artierica. Smiddy in Washington is studying the organization of government departments, our new budget system and other matters from which new Ireland may learn how to shape her own affairs. The manufeturing, shipping and

It Depends on Who Wears Sox HalfWlast in “The Siller Fox” By WALTER D. HICK.HAS Half-hose on the limbs of a pretty and cultured woman may not be the sign the wearer is just a mere party of the streets. It appears one's point of view depends largely on who wears the halfsocks. Anyway, that Is the idea of Cosmo Hamilton in "The Silver Fox.” a comedy, which was presented for the first time in Indianapolis at the Murat last night by the Stuart Walker Company. This comedy is not a world beater, but it has its momenta of supremely clever conversation. Mr Walker, in addition to producing the play, is playing one of the leading roles. Fortunately. Mr Walker knows the kind of a role in which he appears to pleasant advantage. Such a role is that of Edmund Quilter, a best-seller novelist, who is not shocked when his wife informs him she has compromised his faith in her. Husband la disappointed the “mah” is not his best friend instead of an adventurous Hying man. The novelist husband ever, escorts his “untrue" wife to a waiting motor because It. is deemed improper that even a wife should desert her home at night without being properly escorted. A nice comedy situation.

\ Few Intimate Observations In “The Silver Fox,” Julia Hoyt is given her first opportunity to be judged. She honestly ifesires to be considered seriously as an actress. She is in Mr. Walker's company to profit by his teachings. I am convinced b>™ wnt'-hlng last night’s performance of “The Silver Fox” that Julia Hoyt is not basing her hopes of being successful on a mere whim. She has the foundation which will yield to careful study and years of work. Today she is not a great actress. The tomorrow depends on Julia Hoyt. An actress of more experience could have raised several of the scenes to the dizzy heights of perfect comedy. Her attempt is a sincere and a gratifying one. Julia Hoyt knows how to wear gowns. She wears marvelously several stunning costumes. Beautiful costumes alone will not make a woman a great actress. There .s art in wearing a gown. That Julia Hoyt has. When the heart beat of the world surges through Julia Hoyt’s heart and when she can lift a characterization from a manikin into a real live woman, then will Julia Hoyt be the mistress of her art. I am not reflecting on her work In this comedy. It is surprising to see

TOGOLAfID HOLDS mmim foa TIMID NED Man May Have as Many Wives as He Can Afford Without Violating Law. By United Netcs LONDON, Aug. I.—Think of life’s possibilities in a land where the people are instinctively a race of liars, where polygamy is universal and where mere disinclination to continue marriage is sufficient ground for divorce. From the formal pages of a British “White Paper.” a report on England’s mandate administration in the former German colony of Togoland, in West Africa, breathes the spirit of romance with an exotic flavor that is seldom found in government documents. Men marry between 18 and 20: women at about 16 years of age. A man has as many wives as he can afford, but the cost of living strikes an average at about two per man. Must live Together Year When the parties have lived together for more than a year the union is held by native law to have crystallized into legal marriage. “Unfaithfulness on the part c-f the wife is not considered particularly damaging to her character, unless it is repeated a number of times." His Majesty's government is informed the native character is strongly marked by duplicity. 1 American jazz probably saw its origin in some cabaret on the Togo land's Broadway, for the Togolanaer “Is attracted irresistibly by noise and uproarious gaiety."

NfIIELIST SAYS A. S. BELITTLES VOLSTEAD Li Fannie Hurst, Back From Europe, Declares Conditions Abroad Are Appalling. LIQUOR’S EFFECTS PLAIN America Got Prohibition by ‘Fluke’—Hence the Howl, She Asserts. By E. it. THIERRY. . NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-—Fannie Hurst, novelist, says America has set back the world prohibition movement fifty years. “We are the horrible example,” she says. “Europe at first was frightened, fearing prohibition was contagious. Now Europe is laughing at America, reckoning we have bungled it so much, that liquor is safe with them for a long time.” Miss Hurst, just back from a European tour, thinks most anti-prohibi-tionists would be converted if they took the trip. "We have lost our perspective here," she says. "Everybody is howling against the dry amendment. We don’t see its benefits until we go abroad and compare conditions. “Prohibition is one of the greatest sociological reforms the world has known! My friends think I am crazy to talk like this, but I be lieve It.” More Tippling in Europe The famous novelist said she found people in France, England and Germany were drinking more liquor than before the war. “Frenchmen are still wine drinkers, but they’re putting away more spirits than they ever did,” she said. “In Germany the beer is back to normal. Germany is dusting herself off faster than any other country. "The ill effects of liquor can be seen plainly in the East End of London. The place looks horrible betide our own Bowery’• For the Bowery looks shaved and spruced up.” Miss Hurst says American wets do more talking than actual drinking when they go abroad. Talk Booze, Drink Water "Lots of them make up for lost time in a drinking way,” she said. “I?ut I noticed most American men talked about cocktails and drank water. I think a lot of our talented drinkers have lost their grip. They hate to admit it, but they have.” Actual prohibition, Miss . Hurst thinks, will not come in the United States until the next generation. “We got It by a fluke," she said. "That’s why the howl continues against it.’ And that’s one of the reasons why I think the people of European countries, horrified and amused at our bungled job, will not accept prohibition for many years.” Miss Hurst was chaperoned during the interview by her husband, J. S. Danielson, musician.
