BREAK UP SCHOOL OF CRIME. A few months ago a West Hammond woman was found to have en
couraged a young boy in a number of petty thefts. The boy was punished I
and the woman was let off with a light fine.
From time to time there have been evidences that certain junk dealers have placed a premium upon criminality among boys by paying them for
. stolen brass.
So far as can be learned of ; these people none have been sent to the penitentiary where they belong. The number of petty thefts in Hammond
I is increasing of late.
There are scores of them that have never been run down. Arrests are few in comparison to the number of offenses committed. Last night a boy, whose feet could hardly reach the stirrups, mounted a pony and rode away
with it.
r--.WThese young criminals corrupt others with whom they come in contact.
Pastic measures should be taken at once to cut short these careers of crime
NO "HOSS-TRADE" IN INDIANA.
The Indianapolis News objects to the sending of a "Taggart Delegation" to the National Democratic Convention from Indiana. "It Is not remarkable," says the News, "that the Indiana delegation should be for Governor Marshall In 1912." And then it exresses the opinion that "it would be remarkable if a Taggart delegation were sincerely for him." That the time has gone by when any state should select delegates to represent the wishes of one man is asserted by a Trenton paper. It adds:
"We are proud to say that the time Is past when the people of New Jersey will tolerate any such methods. We are glad to say, too, that that time has passed in scores of other states. We believe that that time is soon to pass in Indiana. "In fact, actual and sincere service to the people is the very essence of this thing in politics that we call Progressiveism. And Indiana has never before been classed as a laggard state. The people of Indiana would doubtless resent an insinuation that they were stand-patters and reactionaries. But the people of Indiana should remember that a National convention is not a market it Is not a round-up, it Is not a 'hoss-trading bee." "It is at least it will be in 1912 a place where reasonable, honest, sincere representatives of the party meet to give effect- to the people's will in the selection of National candidates."
One of the products of civilization
!s the toothpick. So far as we know
the savage does not indulge this habit except ss be learns it from the educated races. There are very few pans
of the world where the teeth are im
mune from decay, so the lack of its
use Is not because of the lack of need The reason is probably that the sav
age has no thought of the care of th;
teeth, and doubtless he is not an
noyed by the particles of food which crowd between his teeth. There are some who. for politeness sake, deplore the use of the toothpick. While it is cot an article to use at all times and
at all places, to discard it altogether
would prove disastrous.
The best toothpick is one of quill,
Its flexibility, and the ease with which
It la used making it ideal. The ob
Jection to the wooden toothpick is
that it is bulky, and liable to injure
the gum tissue and the delicate mem
brane surrounding the tooth; it some
times slivers, producing wounds and
inflammation in the gums. The metal toothpick is also inadvisable, and the habit of using pins and other metallic instruments as toothpicks should be condemned. In using a tootipick caro should be taken; it is not enough that the food be removed, but also that it be removed gently. The gum which grows between the teeth has a very
valuable use and should not be crowded out. Occasionally we find one whose teeth are so perfect in shape and the gum tissue so healthy that tha toothpick is unnecessary, but for the ordinary individual too much stress cannot be laid on the need of its uso "and the care which is necessary. Where the teeth are filled, care should be taken not to use force, and thereby break off particles of enamel next to the filling or otherwise Injure the
fllline. and the habit of chewing a
toothpick is a bad one.
In using the pick often one may find a tooth which gives evidence of pain.
In such a case it is well to learn at once whether or not there is a cavity
forming in the tooth. Often, too, the pick will give you first knowledge of tartar accumulating about the necki
of the teeth, and when this is discov
ered haste should bo made to have il rjT50vad. This you cannot do with
the brush; the only way i3 can be re moved is with the aid pf special In
etruments. By allowing the tartar tc eccurr.ulaie, you run the risk of con tracting that dread disease known at pyorrhea. Thus we find that the toothpick is indeed a valuable instrument when rightly used, and If it is employe! after eacn meal we will derive much satisfaction from the comfort it gives us, as well as protection from decay (Copyright, Western Newspaper Union.)

A rotten rope swing in a slaughter ; house Tiear Princeton is proving disastrous to the limbs of Princeton youths. A few days ago Willie Funk, 10 years old, fell from it and fractureo both arms. The rope was patched and yesterday found anotnr victim, Arveri Whiting, young son of former Sheriff Whiting, who sustained a fracture of one of his arms and severe bruises about the body. Both lads will recover, but the career of the rope swing is ended. PREFERS SVICIDE TO TRIAL. That he prefered to end his life rather than be arraigned in Criminal uoui t
for shooting his former sweetheart, whom he believed had transferred her affections, was the statement made in a note by John W. Creek, of Indianapolis, who slashed his throat Saturday night, after he went to the rooms of Mrs. Catherine Green. 319V6 North Senate avenue, the "woman In the case," and

in Creekls pocket by the police. Creek

later to the City Hospital, where he lies
at the point of death.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON
"Why, I'm ever so much more careful of my clothes since I earned my own money. I make them last Just about twice as longX' So a young woman who has had her first experience in wage earning this past winter commented on one effect of that experience. J She is the daughter of people of very moderate means. ' She never in all her life has had a flzed allowance. Her father said he could not afford to give
her one. Instead he has given her mon-
ev whenever she aaked for it, if he
possibly could.
Now this girl has always been exremely careless about her clothea. Her
gowns have a way of getting torn and soiled in half the time one would expect and her hats become dllapltated and her shoes scratched and old look-
ng in a few weeks. She aaid she Just
couldn't help it, that she was unlucky.
I often wondered if her father had not handed her over the money to buy new things to replace the prematurely destroyed ones. If she would have been quite so "unlucky."
And now the question Is answered. She has bought her own clothes for
a year. She nas naa a aennue sum
to buy them with, not a vague, in
definite, haphazard supply which the
plea of a torn gown or ruined hat would probably make elastic.
It has been a case of learn to be
careful or do without. And she has learned to be more careful.
Which is a lesson she would have
learned years and years ago If her father had given her a fixed and absolutely Inelastic tendency.
Of course, even then, she would not
have had quite as much respect for
the money as if she had earned it herself, but she would have found out what it could and could not do, and would have proceeded to help It do its best by taking due care of her clothes. He said he couldn't afford to give" her an allowance, because he was a poor man. As a matter of fact he couldn't afford not to give her one for Just tJat reason. It Is often the child of poorer parents who has absolutely no conception of the value of money because she nev
er has the handling of any; while the wealthier girl, who has a definite allowance, learns thrift and economy. I believe that Just as soon as a child realizes that pennies have other usee besides "-being put in his mouth or rolled across the floor, he should have an at loance. At first this would be only a very little for spending money, but as the child grows older I think that more and more of the money spent upon him should be put into his own hands until the boy or girl of fourteen or fifteen is given an allowance that covers all his personal needs. Mother or father should supervise the spending of course. That goes without saying. Too many mothers and fathers have an Idea that an allowance is an extra,, something that only wealthy people can give their children. The sooner they get rid of this notion and realize that with an allowance of no more money than they have previously had in driblet sums, if as much, their children can buy thrift and economy as well as clothes and' pleasures, the better for those children.
