The Rule of the Home.
Dearborn Weekly,
A Brooklyn judge asserts that more
than eighty, iier ceut, of our criminals
are under twenty-five. Another New
Vorfc jurist observes' that the average
hardened criminal is about seventeen, and
that the age at which' the largest uum-
Iters of prisoners arv committed to jails
and reformatories is nineteen. This im
plies a youth situatiou of alarming pro
portions and implications.
How can this frightful wastage of
young life be accounted for? Those near
est to the facts tell us that it is not the
fruitage of a crime wave that inevitably
follows in the wake of war. The causes
go much deeper. In the final alalysis
the principal iudiettnent falls upon one
only institution and that institution is
tin l average American home.
The tap. root of tte situation is cou
tempt for rightly ednstituted’ authority.
A generation ago the parents governed
the family. Today the tables are turned
and the family policy is largely dictatrd
by the children. Cfinsciiuently. before
either the school or the church cun as
sume any guardianship, the seeds of po
tential slisortiei hart; been sown. Nothing
is plainer tlfkn that education,
like charity, must begin at home.
The child who has ©At learned a whole
some respect for home-law will have noth
ing but disdain Mr scboot-lavk. The
youth who has not been disciplined to re
gard either will leave school around
fourteen and go out to defy all law. And
when he falls into the stern hands of the
guardians of the law he' will have his
parents"! tr thank most of all. j
The remedy is not better laws of bet
ter schools or bettef- churches. It is bet
ter hemes and bejitbr parents.

Seems of the Seven Seas Told
by “Bottle Papers"
To learn the speed and direction of
ocean currents, government experts use
“bottle papers.” Accurate knowledge df
these drifts is important to t navigation,
and the safety of hundreds may depend
upon it. Small slips; with directions t6 r
their return printed in the principal lan
guages, are given to ship captains, to be
sealed in flasks and thrown overboard.
Months or years later, some return. One
floated nearly across the Atlantic and
back, and another crossed the widest part
of the Pacific in a little over two years. A
third, dropped near the Cape of Good
Hope, was picked up on the western, coast
of Australia. *

Sand for Railroads’ Safety Cost#
Millions' Yiptyi
While big figures are used fn telling the
cost of saffety to the railways, tlfe amatfng
item to the average person is the
amount spent for sand; Four tofas aid re
quired for every mile of road in the
United States, according to the figures of
one trunk lihc with 7,500 miles of track.
Al this rosid is in the middlh wh»t' and
south, where mountains are not encoun
tered, the figures given are regarded as
conservative. The cost of putting the
sand into the engine box is placed at $2.50
a ton as an average minimum. For all
the roads, the yearly cost is estimated at
*2,037.070. For the most part the sand is
brought from river Bottoms and dried By
waste steam' at the round house.

C Never put an irisfde patch in a'slit tube
where the slit is over 1 in. long, because
this will weaken the tube. However,
when the slit is smalt, about Vt-'ifl. long;'

should always be cut on the bias' before
