THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1014. OF DEFECTIVES DMUTCn MIT lUiniLuuui GAMP GOOD WILL ROW AMERICAN POULTRY Urge Less of Life and Property Etch Year Attributed to Sub-Normal Persons. SEGREGATE THEM Coroner Hoffman Would Have t Law Passed to Separate These "€ulh"efSedetvasl$ ' ' Dene in Ohio. By Peter M. Hoffman. The large number of mental de- fectives with whom my office la hrnught Into contact each year, to- gether with the many attempted mur- ders, incendiaries and other crimes committed by sub-normal types, once more shows the crying need In this state for the establishment of special asylums for Imbeciles and epileptics Among the states to have estab- lished high class institutions for the segregation and care of defectives Is Ohio, with Its asylums for imbeciles at Columbus, where more than two thousand of these unfortunates .are not only cared tor in a humanitarian way, but are held In restraint as a protection to both themselves and so- ciety. There is no doubt but an in stitutlon of this character would ap- preciably cot down the records of as- saults, murders and Incendiaries in the state of Illinois. To Classify Them. In order that the public shall be duly Informed as to the actual depre- dations by mental defectives and halt wits in Cook county, I have instruct ed my statistician to hereafter make a special classification of this kind of murders and assaults in order that the cost in. life and property may be vividly set before the minds of the public in my next report; for not only are the delinquencies of this class far more numerous than is supposed, but it frequently happens that Innocent persons are accused and tried for re- volting crimes committed by sly sub- normals who are incapable of com- prehending the enormity of their acts. Like in all plant and animal life, the human species year after year pro- duces a certain percentage of super- normals, normals and sub-normals or culls: Every age and every condition of society has produced Its "culls," but where these are segregated from the rest and prevented from Injuring them or reproducing their kind, and where the normal portion of the com- munity employs the highest educa- tional methods generation after gen- eration, the percentage of defectives produced and the damage they do can be 'reduced to the minimum. '■' Experts Able to Discriminate. While frequently great delicacy is necessary in passing upon sub-normal cases and there are possibilities of the law being taken advantage of by unscrupulous persons desiring to get some' one out of their way, there is no doubt but on the whole our psy- chopathic experts are able to dlscrim- • inate wisely and to the interest of every community, and I take' this op- portunity of urging that a state In- stitution for sub-normals be estab- lished in Illinois at the earliest possi- ble date. There is a considerable class of school children who are alow in their studies, linger behind from year to year, and finally drop out in the fourth or fifth grades. I wish to urge special attention to these, for by in- creasing' their intelligence as far as possible, many of them can be made self-supporting and to a considerable degree the danger of their wrong-do- ing can be minimized, for Ignorance and dullness will. always remain a chief menace to society. HAS CAPACITY NUMBER One Hundred and Eighty-Two Have Been Cared for This Past Week in Tent City. i......■. One hundred and eighty-two call dren and mothers had a good time at Camp Good Will this past week. Mr. Lee Black, the superintendent, says that the- number, last week was too large to he cared for with comfort. There are not sufficient cots and tents to care for 162 and this num- ber also packs the dining room and makes it difficult to serve the meals. He thinks about 160 would be the right number. The meais that are served the camp- ers are wholesome and substantial. The breakfasts consist of a fruit and some cereal, rolls and plenty of milk The mothers are allowed coffee, but the children are given milk. It takes about sixty gallons a day to supply the camp sad one of the local dairies fur nisheB the best grade of milk obtain- able at a very Tow cost. The noonday meal consists of some- kind of meat, and on Sunday It is chicken, several vegetables, 'plenty of bread and butter and milk. Ice cream Is also added for Sunday dinner. The evening meal Is made up of fruit, cold meats, vegetables, bread and milk. The campers are all served at the same time. Six long tables accommo- date the crowd. Twelve persons are required to do the serving. There has been no sickness this week and the only trace of dampened spirits has made itself evident today for the campers know that they must return to the city tomorrow. FOUR BILLION FISH Secretary of Commerce Red Held has just been ■ informed by the com nils sioner of. fisheries that advance.reports received from the fish-cultural stations of the bureau of fisheries in all parte or the country indicate that during the fiscal year which closed June 30, 1914, the number of food and game fishes propagated and distributed by the thai of any previous' year. The output was approximately 4,000,000,000, of which 485,000,000 represented the mi- gratory food fishes of the Atlantic coast streams, 1,000.000,000 the com- mercial fishes of the great lakes, 2,250.- 000.000 the Important food fishes of the North Atlantic coast, over 200,000,000 the salmons of the Pacific seaboard, and the remainder the fishes of the minor Interior waters. Distributions of fishes suitable for stocking barren public waters, or for restocking1 public waters which have become depleted, were made In prac- tically every state of the Union and In Alaska, while thousands of small In- land ponds and lakes, the majority of them located on farms, were stocked with black bass, croppies, sunfishes and other desirable species. Of the enormous output for the year, 98 per cent represents the commercial EXHIBIT IN CHICAGO National Display of Fine Birds tnd Their Fruit Next Month. The thirty-ninth annual meeting of the American Poultry association will be held in Chicago, August 9 to 16, 1914.

NS LESS NOISY GREAT DAMAGE Theatre Reports Show These Noiseless Devices for Celebration Cause Many Fires. In many parts of the state people desiring to celebrate Independence day in a safe and sane manner have discarded the old, nolse-preduci cannon cracker and other nerve-rack* ing devices and have adopted, as one of the substitutes, the tissue paper hot air balloon. Reports received by the state Are marshal department seem to indicate that, from the standpoint of fire haz- ard, the toy balloon Is no. Impw ment over the firecracker, and Is It deed just as serious a fire menace. Many fires in Illinois were caused by these toys alighting on shingle roofs, or stacks of grain, and much valuable property was destroyed. In some localities it is reported the farmers organized their families into a sort of emergency tire patrol and kept guard over the field of standing grain, hay stacks and farm dwellings, in order to prevent them from being destroyed by these wandering pests. scurjrxT rev - je» wstvsi jl. «w»w t«k w^i ILL.
