LONDON POSTMEN OFFICE CAT TRAOI MAJIR RIO. Junius . Insanity As A Defense , Increasing numbers of insanity plena and a more wide R)ieud .Introduction of expe'rt testimony by neurologist i in murder cases have created a new criminal problem in tliis country. Insanity pleas are not a new thing in tha criminal courts and neither is medical testimony in sup port of them as a modern innovation. They did not become ti problem until they appeared in cases where the insanity Was not self-evident to the lay .mind. The public's inability to comprehend an Insanity purely psychological is partially , to blame" for 'current criticisms of the courts and for dis- Unctions' which are being drawn 'n the public mind be tween justice for. the rich and justice for the courts. There seems to be universal assent to the proposition 4hat the existing situation is wrong, casting reproach upon (both the medical and legal professions, and that some remedy ought to be found nnd applied. But when it comes .to the method to be adopted, there is no such agreement. On the contrary, the views expressed are so widely diver gent that there is bound to lie serious difficulty in secur ing that unity of thought on the subject without which there can be no hope for definito remedial legislation. It is undoubtedly a public scandal that expert opinion, involving, in many instances, questions of life nnd liberty is a purchasable commodity. This, at least, nppoars to be the case, when the widely divergent opinions offered under oath upon the witness stand are taken into consideration. And the fine distinctions drawn by expert neurologists who habitually figure- in proceedings of this character have al tered the whole popular conception 'of what is meant by "insanity," or "mental disease," or "abnormality," terms that are freely bandied from one side to another in crim inal court -proceedings. Thrift Every bank nnd financial organization in the country is advocating thrift., Nation-wide campaigns are being launched to urge the need upon people of saving some part of their, earnings each day in order to have a surplus for emergencies. ' . '" We have seen many unique plans advocated to encour age the saving habit, but about as good a one as can be imagined has 'been inaugurated by Floyd iMclCennon of Ln Grande who sells li(e insurance and preaches thrift at the same time. lie has a. little clock, an ornament as well as a service able utility, that he installs in the home. The clock will not run unless once each day a coin is deposited in the slot. The coin winds the clock and it runs until tho following ,ay. One can readily see the importance of the clock, for it automatically reminds the owner that he must deposit his savings each day. To further make the plan a complete success the key that unlocks the clock is retained by a local bank and in order for the owner of the clock to se cure the savings inside he must take the clock to the bank. This means another thrift step for when once in a bank it is the natural thing to deposit the money to a savings account . This account immediately begins to draw interest imd the thrift habit Is" formed. - Every home should install one of the thrift clocks. It is the thing Vor every family to encourage children to save. Proper tttteiition to this clock will not only accumulate funds for life insurance but also will lake cure of educa tional funds' and many other family undertakings, and it will be done with remarkable ease, for in the language of .Julius Uoeseli, "if one saves a little each day he will soon have something worth while." moiillm iko has bad lt Imlr rut six limn uln-uili'. .
