That is the attitude assumed by the child studv committee of the Detroit public schools, which is perforniis- &r1c rf incalculable value in eradicating, or at least alleviating, fne ailments to which the younger generation are subject, says the Free Press. In its chosen field child study is working wonders. Comparatively few aside, from those actively identified with educational work in the public schoois are aware of its existence. Even among those who know of it there are many with only the slightest conception of what is being done, or the significance of its labors. The movement grpw out of the realization that, through no fault of their own, great numbers of children labor under a handicap that makes advancement slow, if not altogether impossible. In nearly every Instance the contlruation of these troubles that cast a blight upon the youthful mind could be traced to parental ignorance of the true state of affairs, or indifference. Not a few C3ses were found where lack of means prevented the prescribed course being followed, even when parent3 were warned of the danger. And all the time these children were growing into men and women who must go out into the world ill fitted to fight life's battle, with limitations that. Lad they been given attention in time, might have been eliminated.

WOMAN ROUTS TAX MEN. Routed by one of the biggest potato mashers in Cumberland county, held tightly in the right hand of Mrs. II. L. Frank, Tax Collector J. II. Deckman, of HarrisVurg, Pa., is resting upon his arms and making further plans. Deckman went to Frank's house to collect taie3 and found Frank seated in a kitchen chair. Just then the potato masher and Mrs. Frank broke In'.o the scene and Deckman retreated. Deputizing A. D. Brandt to assist him, he returned. worn T 'J I I Both were routed with the masher, but not before Deckman had obtained an inventory of part of the household goods. A third visit to tack up a levy notice on the front door met with a third rout. Mrs. Frank i3 awaitiög the fourth move by Decknan. The potato masher Is still in service. GIRL LEFT. FOR TRAIN TO KILL. At Gary, Ind., a man not "known to any who saw him, placed a 5-year-old girl on the track of the Michigan Central just before a passenger train was due, and then disappeared In the wood3. Police Officer William Miller witnessed the affair and grabbed the child from the track in time to safe its life. The little girl was taken to the police sta tion and an effort made to find the man, but no trace could be found. The child said her name was Virginia Zaletto and that she is 5 years old. A3 no reports of the missing child were received Officer Miller took the little girl to his home. In the fourth century actors were ex eluded from the benefit of Christian sacraments, and excommunication was extended to those who visited theaters Instead of churches on Sundays and holidays. The 8 per cent collected by the French government on all money bet on the pari mutuel system in Franch yielded last ye.'.r $329,839.25. There have been over 50,000 church bell3 cast In Troy, N.

Further, that it can be controlled as surely as smallpox or yellow fever. It Is to men of science tllat credit is due for this blessed relief. Unrelenting, those tire'ess toilers of the library and the laboratory have kept up their self-apiM)inteil task of devising ways to lessen the frightful mortality from this one cause. Ignorance and carelessness on the part of the people, their Indifferent attitude in this vitally important matter, have been discouraging enough to all save the most persistent workers along this line, but these have kept up the fight, with no thought

of personal reward, intent only in securing

for humanity the priceless benefit of immunity from the ravages of the white plague.

Unless existing conditions are improved

there are 8,0U0,CM persons now living in this country who are destined to die of consumption. This dread disease attacks old and young alike, and is particularly deadly be

tween the ages of 1.1 and 40 years. It stroys more lives than any other disease. also causes Incalculable losses from a

etary viewpoint, since it not only prevents the person attacked from working, but makes him a burden cn relatives or on the public.

s an offset to this alarming outlook, the sade against consumption which Is

wide in Its scope is rapidly getting under full headway in this country. Everywhere are seen encouraging sLr.s

en Clubs, with SM),000 members, is pledged to work for

this legislation and to aid the anti-consumption crusade

in every way jossible, as are many other large and lnlluential organizations of men and women. PuMIe icsti tut ions for the treatment of consumptive

SAVING SOULS BY MAIL. Oklahoma Clergyman to Send III Seriuoua Ilrondrnat. Christianity carried broadcast by a two-e-ent stamp seems odd compared with the methods of the late Sam Jones, Dwight L. Moody and other great evangelists who relied largely upon personal magnetism as a means of securing converts; yet tLis idea has Hen adopted by Rev. Ward It. Clarke. pastor of the Unitarian Church of Oklahoma City. "I see no reason." says Mr. Clarke. "why my Innovation should not, if faithfully followed, be the means of great good. A sermon is a sermon, no matter whether delivered orally or In WITH THE SAGES. Life without cross-examination is no life at all. Socrates. Life without cross-examination is no life at all. Socrates.

Teachers are required to note the condition of all children under their care. Where defects are noticeable they make out a detailed report on blanks furnished for the purpose and forward it to the parents, with the request that a physician be consulted concerning the cause. If they fail to heed the warning the committee is notified, and an investigation instituted. If it is found that the parents are too poor to bear the expense of the necessary treatments, the work is performed gratuitously by one of a number of leading specialists who have been Interested in the work of saving the children, and who are no less enthusiastic over what i3 being accomplished than are members of the committee. A prolific source of trouble Is the lack of attention on the part of parents In providing proper nouiis'iment for children. Cases are constantly coming to light where children ate given a light breakfast and sent off to school

with a few pennies with which to provide a mid day lunch. Usually these pennies are invested in sweetmeats on the way to school, the child, through lack of sufficient food, being In an exhausted condition long before the school day is over. Eye strain, defective hearing, adenoid growths, enlarged tonsils, diseases of the nose, spinal curvature, due to physical weakness or assuming bad positions; nervousness in varied forms, and defective teeth are among the most common ailments with which the child study committee deals. Every case is taken up by the committee and disposed of as circumstances warrant. The work does not end when a defective child ha3 been turned over to a physician. From that time on he is watched as closely as before, and the change, if any, carefully noted. The improvement is usually apparent at once, the pupil showing marked advancement in his studies and displaying a keener interest in what is taking place about him. Since the establishment of the child study committee in Detroit something over GOO cases have been handled, and almost without exception results have been beneficial. Wherever conditions warranted such a course, backward children have been singled out and placed in classes where they could be given special attention. At the outset only one room was opened, but the number has increased until now there are sewn schools In which separate departments are maintained for backward pupils, and where they are given advantages that could not be theirs if left to their own devices. Raise Fund to Help. When it wa3 found that many children afflicted with defective vision could not find relief because their parents were too poor to buy glasses, the Teachers' Association voted a sufficient sum to keep the cause moving. Entertainments have been given, and in various ways funds have been raised. A manufacturing optician was found who expressed a willingness to help the good work along by furnishing glasses to needy children at wholesale. Several of the best known specialists volunteered their services where parents were found to be unable to bear the expense of treatments, and in various other ways substantial aid has been rendered. "Think of the thousands of children who, because of some slight physical derect that with proper attention could be easily remedied, may have to go through life laboring under a handicap," says a medical pioneer in

clinical study. "Think what thl3 work

It has the directoire back, long effect, Loui3 XIV. front and bolero shape. Seven yards of cloth compose the whole dress and the train is fifty-six inches in length. But that is not the point. When the wearer stands still it resembles an ordinary, pretty costume. The moment she mores It Is quite different What has seemed a skirt parts just above the knees and regular trousers come into view. Trousers just trousers. They make no pretense of being anything else. They measure thirty-six inches around the bottom and reach to the shoe soles. A seam that goes up the front of the skirt from the knees to the waist gives an all pantaloon appearance to the front of the garment.

The Tariff in Conference. Even a bill that is reported from he Finance Committee of the Senate Soes not take rank as a prospective iaw. Neither is a bill, as "passed up to the Senate from the IK-üse necessarily a near-law. Nor is the bill which the Senate will pass a near-law. The conference committee appears to be the court of last resort as concerns the making of a tariff law, and the President, it appears, recognizing that truth, is reserving his influence for the conference that finally will mold the schedules of the Payne Aldrlch tariff. The President will apply pressure at the strategic point and the psychological moment, so to speak. This is indicative of what a conserver of energy and judge of distance the President is. He Is after results and not eager, for spectacles. He wants schedules which, taken all in all, will redeem the pledges of the Trty and satisfy the larger moiety of the people; but he has ng desire to split the party, to engender bad blood, or to humiliate any leader. The old constitutional regard for the separate and distinct functions of legislature and executive has much to commend it. In fact, it is not only constitutional, but also expedient. The Senate is a proud body, rightfully insistent on the prerogatives that, uncer our institutions, it has maintained Ihese hundred and twenty years. The Senate has the privilege and right to pas3 a tariff bill In accordance with Its views of what is good and wise. Mr. Taft carefully refrains from telling the Senate what it ought to do. Then, when Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Hale and Mr. Lodge have finished, have had the opportunity to express their view of what the new tariff should be, the President, a3 a co-ordJaate factor in the making of a tariff law, will tell what is his view. The place for the Senate, the House and the President "to get together" and "to frame up" the final measure, is naturally in the Conference Committee. Therein the three co-ordinate powers that make the national lawa can present the'r respective views, can compromise, can report out a final formulation. Mr. Payne, has his view, but he is not the Republican party. Mr. Aldrich has his view, but neither Is he tha party. That for which the Republican party eventually will be responsibly may be something which, while accept able, will not be wholly pleas.'ng to either Congressman or Senator. The fact that the President hai chosen the constitutional and polity method of influencing tariff legislation, supplies probability to the hope thai he will largely get his way. Minneap oils Journal.

Washington has had the experienci of viewing the disintegration of th second party of the country, what in Britain would grandiloquently be termed "his majesty's opposition." Tha scenes attending this crumbling have been partly dramatic, partly amusing, partly a thing for a good man to sor row over. Senators, labeled in the congressional directory as Democrats, have cast their votes exactly contrary to the pledges of the national platform for which they spoke so floridly In the late campaign. They have demanded support for customs duties, which their constituents desired In contra vention of that ancient slogan of bat tie, "Tariff for revenue only."
