u.ihles ui.iiciitd to the police that the
' k.liui of i-iasimn probtilv wan not
part ot the prevail'.us crime wave,
but the result of a vendetta.
It.ul "Lurid" lareer.
Eastman, whose right name was
William lelaney. had a youthful ca
reer that was lurid even for under
world annals. The son of wealthy
jiU indulgent parents, lie chose as
his companions the canustcrs of the
one time toughest" di.-trict in New
York nar Kourteentli stteel and
Thud avenue only a block from
whoie ht this tuornini: was killed.
A dozen year. ago the "Monk''
Ka.st man aiiK was composed of Min
tueii. 1'iirul.iis and dnii; addicts, nnd
the police claimed to have traced a
score of murder mvsterios to the zone
in which the canisters operated.
Their leader, however, served terms

T.ic last time Kastiuan appeared
on poller records was in 1915. when
he was arrested, pleaded tjuilty to
roblxry and was sentenced to two
years m juison. On his release in
October, I'M 7, he enlisted in the
ami) as u douciiboy in the l"(j ln-faiit'-y
of the Twenty-seventh Divis
ion. ' He then was forty-live years
old.
Kesloivd to.t'iliAeiishlp.
After the war he was honorably
d;si harted, but lacked the rights of
citiz ei.ship because he had been con
victed of a felony. Governor Smith,
in ic.-toi im; the soldier's civ ic status,
acted on the recommendations of the
i-t-mmeiit s officers. The letter of
Lieutenant J. A. Kerrigan, of Com
pany 0. read:
in.tini; the attack on Vierstaat
Kiilj:e. Kastiuan was wounded und
taken to a i usually cleariim r-tatioli.
He remained there only three days,
fur upon licarini.' thai the regiment
expected to o into lite line attain,
he escaped troni the hospital, equip
ped hiiiieslf ftoni a salvaue dump,
joined Ins company and was in action
thtoucliout the entile Hiiuienbury
line show. His conduct was exem
plary and he ha never been reported
for absence without leave or any
other offense."
Another incident related to the
Coventor was that Kastman had tone
"over the top" on hands and knees,
with hand grenades with which to
attack a German machine- Run nest.
The enemy lire was so intense that
his pack was feared from his hack,
hut he tallied his objective. .-.

Joke Waa on the Its-rtor.
(From the Type Metal Macaiine.l
Speaking of persona who make a
rule and then refuse to allow any
exception to occur, Theodore H.
Price says that these people remind
him of the utory of he physician In
ChicaKO who had built up a very
larae practice a diagnostician.
lieints anxious to make hU exami
nations thorough and to ac time,
he required that all his patient
should be undressed before he re
ceived them.
A man came to his office one moru
inc ard asked to see him.
"There are four or five patients
ahead or you." said the nurse, "hut
if you will step into the dressing:
room and take off your clothes the
doctor will see you when your tuin
comes."
"What do you mean?" aiked the
visitor.
The nurse explained the doctors
requitomeiil.s and his scientific meth
ods. "Why." sa;d the man. "do you
mean to say that I have to take off
all my clothes to see this doctor?"
"Yes." replied the nurse, "he will
see no one unles he is naked."
"Well." answered the man, "I
don't like II." and he left.
The next morning he reappeared
and renewed his request for an Inter
view with the doctor.
"I told him of your visit ves'er
day," said the nurse, "and asked him
if he cared to niake any exception.
He said no. hi rule was inviolable,
ihat his nie'hods were scientific, that
his time wis valuable, and that he
would see no one unless he saw him
naked."
I "Well." said the man, "I don't like
it. but if I n-ust 1 must, and I will see
jhim."
I "All richt." siid the nurse, "-tep
into the drsine mom, take oft your
clothes, and the doctor will see you
when your turn comes."
j So the man disrobed and stood
shiverinp. w liiin; for ihe doctor, who
came in shortly i.nd slapped him on
the shoulder.
"My friend, what can I du for
you?" asked he.
"Why. doctor." replied the man,
"I only wanted lo ask you io renew
your subscription lo tlu Ladies'
Home Journal."

Need CoiifM' ill llekkeepiii.
(From the Typo Metal Magazine.)
Every community need n public
..chool course for every child in the
principles of double -entry bookkeep
ing, manufacturing, cost keepini;, and
merchandising mark-up the princi
ples, understand, not the details.
And the need applies to the coun
try lit large, for we are. as Frank
Vamlerlip says, a nation ot economic
illiterateii.
The public, and even the young
man or woman behind the counter,
ciiniioi distinguish between not and
gross profit.
This Is making for a wrong public
opinion concerning conditions, nnu
causing destructive rather tbaa con
structive legislation.
The principle of business economy
are very simple and are the basis o.
all economy social or political.
An understanding of them is the
sure way to social justice.
In the light of accounting as prac
ticed in the average well-regulated
business, the science of political eco
nomy becomes so simple that it can
be understood by the average high
school students after a fifteen-minute
explanation.
Acquaintance on the part of the
public with the principles of debit,
credit, overhead and turnover is not
only a lasting answer to socialism,
but Is the way to a more equitable
distribution or wealth and Its proper
conservation.
The principles of business account
ing are a. good as any means or
tea. him; a child arithmetic ;uid be
gets two lessons In one. Yes. even
three lesson In one, for it would
teach straight, honest thinking. '
Such a public school course should
be laid out by a committee consisting
of a rf-ittfied public accountant, a
inaiiuiactui ins cost keeper, a mer
chandising manager of a large de
partment store and a rpofessloual ed
ucator. Such a course would not require
text book:-. Just a teacher, a black
bourd, and a piece of chalk.
