Dur ing the World war Judse Cook was captain of the 124th Field Artillery.) ol which t'pton was a member. EOCKFORD, Illinois, June 24. Well, our pilgrimage to Springfield ended appropriately enough in a cloud burst. It happened a few miles north of Peoria. The clouds were gather ing again when we left New Salem and they grew thicker and darker directly in front of us. We envied the cars we met going the other way toward the lighter skies to the south and going fast but we didn't envy ourselves a little bit. However, it was one of those things that had to be done, so we plugged on, con vinced that our heroism was equal to that of Tennyson's 600 or was it 800? at any rate we are certain it wasn't Ward Mc Allister's 400, in that light brigade! All impressions in human experience depend upon what you expect and what you get. If you expect to get $100 and only get ten, the net result is disappoinment; but if you only expect two-bits but get the same ten, you are delighted. This example may not be the best in the world but we trust it gives the gen eral idea we wish to convey. As we progressed northward, the skies grew darker and darker, and finally a ridge of ink black clouds, fringed by an eerie sort of dull grey, from which forked lichtnine flashed at frequent intervals, advanced toward us and we toward it- steadily. It started to sprinkle gently, then the wind started to blow not so gently. The old Ford had a play in the steering wheel of approximately three feet, and this, plus the wind made it weave from one side of the road to the other, like the tail of a kite. We thought of stopping at the next farm house but our past farm experience discouraged that, so we stepped on the button and wound up the highway like an intoxicated threshing machine, hoping and praying for a service station where we could ask for gas, and then at the proper moment follow the crowd toward the nearest cyclone cellar. For we were convinced a tornado was approaching nothing less. We knew we were m the cyclone belt, and June is the cyclone season, the only crumb of comfort being the frigid atmosphere outside, and the horizontal rather than vertical position of that inky black cloud. Therefore, after a brisk flurry of hail, when tne cioun Burst finally descended, there was great rejoicing within the confines of that ancient Ford, we were expecting a tornado and only received a cloudburst I However, motoring in a cloudburst isn't so hot under the best circumstances. The windshield wiper which had burned out, and burned up, had supposedly been repaired. IE. so, the repair didn't last long. When Jupiter Pluvious emptied his bucket of water on that section of Illinois, the contraption stopped en tirely, and the Ford staggered along like a submarine without a periscope. It kept going, however, in the right direction, main taining perhaps, an average speed of ten miles an hour. Later, we were thankful the speed had not been more. For had it been, we would have probably ended up in East St. Louis instead of in a little village known as Wyoming. For in that deluge and lack of visibility we had left route 88 for route 88-A a slight difference to the eye but a tremendous difference to the navi gator all the difference between going due north and eo'mu due west. We had escaped a somewhat hazardous aerial flight, but had gone out of our way to the tune of about 20 miles 10 to Wyoming and 10 back again! That accounted for the lateness of our arrival. We may have visited the Illinois legislature at the wronir time but we certainly left Springfield at the right time. The night before our departure, we noticed they were putting ban ners across the street before the hotel announcing a De Molay convention. The next morning when we came down for break fast the lobby was literally jammed with young boys of approx imately high school age, milling about with suitcases and medals on their chests, and forming several lines to the desk where they were being assigned rooms. Into this throne a sprightly young lady elbowed her way with a scarlet dunce cap on ner neaa, and a tray hung around her neck upon which about half a truck load of chewing gum was displayed. She was advertising the Beechnut brand, and was passing out pack ages right and left, to the visiting delegates. When we returned from breakfast, the crowd in the lobby had not decreased in the slightest, nor the noise and clatter, and if there were a boy in the crowd not chewing gum, we failed to make a note of it. Perhaps the young lady had visited the state legislature the day before. At any rate, there is no question at all that, Illinois is the gum chewing center of the United States. They were a fine looking lot of boys and DeMolay is a splendid organization, BUT we were certainly departing at the psychological time. We can recommend the motor trip from Springfield, Illinois, to Rockford, via Peoria and Sterling, to anyone who wishes to see one of the most beautiful portions of the Middle West of the entire country for that matter. Along the Illinois and Rock rivers the highway runs, through a farming country, we don't believe can be surpassed anywhere for natural beauty, fertility, and a general atmosphere of peace, security and abund ance. At the end of that journey, distressing as it'was in some particulars, passiug farm house after farm house and little village after little village, we couldn't escape the impression. tne conviction in tact, tnat this is not only a "great country, but comes as near the Promised Land for the average human being, as anything that has ever been produced on this green earth. The question kept obtruding "how could anvone wish to change it!" change it FUNDAMENTALLY that is. The size and metropolitan air of Peoria surprised us, a beautiful city, a busy and impressive factory district the high way Went directly by the Caterpillar Tractor company and a view of the Illinois rivr Hint took our breath away, such an expanse of water and so majestic, looked as we always ex pected the Mississippi to look after studying our school' geog raphy, hut which was at our first glimpse' and lias alwavs been since, such a disappointment. About a mile beyond the Caterpillar Trm-tor companv, we stopped at a sen-ice station corner for gas. The attendant 'was much excited over the fact that a young chap he knew and who had worked for the Caterpillar company had been arrested and confessed to attacking and murdering' a young attractive and highly respected Peoria girl. He added." thV'nnliiv. had spirited the culprit away to prevent a lynching, prohablv to Springfield. (Springfield would be a good place for such as he!) ine loneer we live the more frequently we have to modil'v our conviction that capital punishment, swift and certain is morally wrong. W e hold to that conviction still AS A GEN ERAL THEORY, but in a case like this as in the case of the murder of the Lindbergh baby. extermination is the onlv answer. The pity is, it so seldom ill SWift flllH p Art a in What has become of that man Hatiptmann for example!

My Dear Dr. Brady: Because you regard so-called rotlcs" and INDULGENCE FOR NECROTICS for this one: ' ilMi'i" ' neu-neu- rasthenlcs" (Mrs. O capitalizes names) In such contempt, may I assume that Bru no Richard Hauptmann 1 s our Ideal type of human helng? I have Just about come to the conclusion that any doctor lacking the fac ulty or undemanding nervous disor ders might prefer to deny their claim to Illness than to acknowledge his Ignorance on the subject. One is foolish to allow his brain or nervous system to rule his physi cal condition. But please explain, If you can. the difference between a "shell-shocked" soldier who, regard less of good Intention and moral and physical bravery, has collapsed under strain, and a woman who has broken under the shock of financial reverses, care of children, sleepless nights and worry? . . . I do not believe you are half as hard boiled as your "wretched col umn" would have us think. It Is only a fool who never changes his mind. Why not show us the more tolerant and kindly side of your na ture for a change? Yours for an agrument, preferably In your column. (Mrs. C H. O. ). I wish I could serve you some mush, Ma'am, but I promised Hlppokrates I wouldn't. Do good If you can. said the Father of Medicine, but do no harm. All neurotics, neurasthenics or per sons who ascribe their 111 health to weak nerves or nervous exhaustion ! belong tn either Class A or Class B, I j sincerely believe. Class A neurotics t really tiave something the matter with one or another function or or- j gan and err In attributing the trou- j ble to "nerves. Class B neurotics practice nervous imposition on their relatives, friends and the world use their "nerves" as an altbi or a means of escape from the responsibilities of life. To give class A neurotics any more sympathy than one gives any other Invalid would be to encourage them tn their error. I feel that one should eneavor rather to make them snap out of it and take proper steps to have their trouble diagnosed and properly treated. Class B neurotics certainly deserve no sympathy. Their victims, their rel atives, families, friends deserve the sympathy. The" correspondent's allUBion to the doctor "lacking the faculty of under standing nervous disorders" Is not so naive as it may seem. It Implies the doctor la ft heartless creature If he refuses to act as accomplice for the patient who wishes to practice nerv ous imposition. Here It must be re peated that Invalids who really have nervoua disorders, that Is, diseases of the nervous system, are generally not what Is commonly called "nerv ous" at all; they neither demand nor receive more sympathy or patience or attention than any other Invalids do. I estimate that 25 per cent of all neurotics belong in class B, and 75 per cent belong in class A. though I may be wrong about this, for assur edly the class B neurotics whine and complain a great deal more than the others. Thla, I feel. Is a sufficient indulg ence for a health teacher to grant to "nerves. first child to be a boy. Kindly advise us. Mra. B. J.

Several car riages of the the atrical great fol lowed 'hira to his resting place, pat was not a mem ber of the club. For 40 yeara he has been the night elevator man. Almost every body In the stage world knew pat He saw the rise and fall of the stage through the eyes or a historian and u grieved htm. Maurice Barrymtore rarely went to the club without dropping by to call out "Hello Pat." Wilton Lackeye tried out his famous stories on him. It is a desolating thought for the Lambs that they shall never see Pat again In this world. A humble worker, a runner of inglorious chores, he was a gentleman of profound leanings and many worldlings stumbling tlp slly into his lift after midnight al ways felt a wee ashamed. Pat, gnarled with rheumatism, had shy pathos that sweetened his ob scure niche In the world. Sometimes J he would murmur sudden wisdoms that would be whispered about the I club for days. He remained until the end of his 75 years a gentle spirit buffetlngs could not harden. had downed about a half dozen. And was feeling grand. Webster Hall at Intervals has an after midnight ball given over large ly to the androgynous antlca of loose wrlsted lads. In bal-masque costumes, they skip, hlpplty hop end prance along the streets to the affair rog uishly rouged, and run the gamut of sidewalk Jeers with shrugs and head tosses.
