FRIDAY, SEPTFMBER 28, 1917 The Learned Professions. Whi'e the business world has accebted truth as a working maxim, the three learned professions have not yet adopted it. They are not willii g to burn their bridges until they get a subway ready. In the business world we say there is no substitute for truth The three learned pro 'essions have a substitute. Simplicity and frankness are not to be expected from either the" clergy. the doctors or the lawyers. A few lawyers have attached themselves to business institutions, and theso thrive by keeping busircsf-rmn cut of difficulties nine tenths of all lawyers thrive through damage. suits, receiverahips, crime, vice, , bankruptcies, dissolutions, disease, disaster, death. Th "cri ninal lawyer's' ousiness is seldom confined to any one particular line or praetise, Doctors thrive only as people get sick When we are well, we need no physician Fees come from people in trouble Consequently, self interest on the part of the physicians and the lawyers prompts them to perpetuate the woes of mankind. If we all knew ei.ough to keep well we would eliminate the phy ician absolutely; and if the doctors taught us how to get p ong without their, the doctors 'hemaelves would be eradicated and wiped off the map. In business, self-inter "rt lies in human service. Busines--n deal with the healthy, an oupply normal wants. Doctors and lawyers appeal to the distressed and diseased. To chem both misery is an asset. No n;an is going to destroy Jusown business. Everything we dg, wejastify ourselves in doing: and everything that b to our interest, to do, we will continue doin?, and salve our conscience by saying, 14 If we do not do this, some one eles will" For the man who will invent a way by which the three learned professions can thrive by ministering to the intelligence and well being of mankind, and not their woes, ignorance and super stitions, a fortune awaits.

A Neighborly Appeal Like the peal of a distant convent bell; like tender wisperings of the leaves or the solemn sough f the forest: like the echo of a flute note across the lake at twilight, come, out of the recesses of the recent past, the memories of our noet-laureate, James

Whitcomb Riley. As heaven's Last, best gift to Indiana, the Ineighborly people of this great compion wealth adore the name ot Riley and hail the recurrence of his birth with a joy almost transcendent. Not because he saw more clearly than others the f railities of his neighbors, and he mirthfully and mercilessly notes these: not because he drew bril liantly wise conclusions from his from his experiences with the ordinary folks of his day, though he constantly crystalized pioneer experiences into epigrams ot abiding value. Sundav. October 7th. is the anniversery of our laureate's birth. As head of the public school system of Indiana, a system of Indiana, a system made vastly richer because of the life of James Whitcomb Riley, I am setting apart Friday Oct. 5, 1917 as Rüey Day for all our Indiana schools, I earnestly recommend that programs shall be prepared and executed in all our schools the intent of which programs sha'l be the cherishing of the memory of Riley, the emulation of his sincere and simple interpretation of the virtues of our people, and the inspiring to future good behavior the children of our schools who are soon to become the men and women of the com monwealth. Respectfully, Horace Ellis, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 19, 1917Socks Fop Soldiers, The knitting Unit of the Council of Defense has finished its complement of socks for soldiers.

The way I ju'ot out of the burglar Una was this: 1 had mighty good nerve and wasn't afraid of any one. I seemed to know what kind of a crib to crack and how to do it without waking anybody up and getting away between mlcmlght and dawn, when the cops are most drowsy. While 1 was doing a job I thought of nothing except my work ind was both cool and watchful. 1 wasn't one of those blokes who scare people to death or who are ready if necessary to add murder to robbery. The truth is I never liked the prospect of facing either charge. As I was saying, while engaged at my work, however dangerous, I was steady as a monument, but when danger had passed and I ha' nothing to do but think I went downhill very fast. What bothered rae most was that I couldn't sleep nights that is, whe comfortably showed away in bed. once took a nap In a gentleman's par lor and was only wakened by the sun coming up and shining In my eyes. I Just got out In time to save myself. But when lying on a soft mattress, with warm covers and no chance of being disturbed, sleep wouldn't como to me. I lay awake thinking of tho time when I would hear prison doors clang behind me. The thought was dreadful. I'm afraid 1 was too fine grained for the business. Month after month my hours oi sleep grew 's till I feared insanity.

One ulphr l having slo; would be : the next desperat ten (Tön f I had n other couple e up at midnight after hours and k?Miw there re slumber for me till went to bed. I was so I got up with the 'n- .

I "v ul there, took' out a pane cf r..:.rrd nnd went upstairs to Pv' v raeo i settle down. I stood In r !mll looking Into a room whop- In lamp was burning. In the ro" i jman was in bed with a child. or iMleep. The child was sleeping t . iu front of the bed, very near the edge. He. was a boy and, 4 think, about five years old. On a narrow loft'er bed, close beside tho other, slept another child, a girl of about three. She was sleeping in tho center of her bed on her side and had her chubby fist up against her fat; cheek. It was hot summer "Weather, and none of them except the woraau had any covers whatever. What interested mo cas, that ftbo boy's, head was hanging oyfcr t Waldo of his bed and so muchof f1hi'bkry. too, that it looked to mo asif be Was Rbout to fall. lie was resitass, and ü knew he would be ove very soonl Someliow I wanted toyfeee him fall, though I kept in tho cfcrk so tha li wouldn't see me if be woke up.
