ONE-ARMED MAN IS EXPERT AUTO THIEF Cripple 'Given Year Sentence fojr Two Thefts. Brentwood, England. -- Frederick Charles Elton, twenty-six, has proved that a man of spirit can overcome a physical handicap, even If he did it In criminal matters. Elton, who has one arm, has just been sentenced to one year at hard labor for the following enterprises: Stealing; two motor cars. * Breaking into a house and stealing • revolver. v Possessing the revolver. Possessing the second of tha two stolen cars. Driving without a license. All of which occurred in more or less sequence and should have been enough charges to send away two two-armed men instead of one-onearmed man. ~ One-Lagged Criminal. The accomplishments of cripples In the field of crime have been remarkable. One of England's best housebreakers a generation or two ago was a one-legged man. He was a veritable captain of crime and led a gang! If the gang complained that a "Job" looked too hard he was wont to scorn such hesitation and turn the trick all by himself. V ^ The activity of Elton'along the line of car stealing has brought up the subject of how the licensing authorities should treat applications for motor car or motor cycle licenses by persons shy a limb or otherwise afflicted. A great argument is still in progress about whether deaf and dumb persons should receive licenses. Those who oppose them say that the affliction prevents such from hearing signals or commands. Supporters of the deaf and dumb drivers say that their very defects make them extraordinarily vigilant about reading signs, watching crossroads, etc. Runs Into Car. Bard and fast rules for or against licensing would-be drivers who have physical defects are not difficult to lay down, even if they cause a vast amount of contention, but how shall the license authorities determine the ttiental qualities of an applicant? Not long ago, In England, a young man driving a motor cycle was in a collision and injured a man. The cyclist had become mentally confused over nothing at all and ran smack into a motor car. When the cyclist was tried before a magistrate, his father admitted that the son was feeble minded and subject to fits, but he said he did not see that those defects should cause his son to lose the pleasure he derived from using his motor cycle. Nobody asked the father if he had any consideration for the persons who might be injured or killed by his mentally deficient son. Nobody ever asks questions about those injured by wrongdoers. The feeble minded youth still has his license and will probably be allowed to keep it because he has not been officially declared deficient, and he Is not insane. ylvania Man Owns Rare Edison Product Sunbury, Pa.--Prof. Harry L. Keefer of the faculty of Sunbury high School Is the possessor of one of the six electric light globes first made by Thomas A. Edison in his pioneering work. Professor Keefer says that the relic <Mlme to him through F. . A. VVurdlow. who was secretary of the Edison Pioneers. A few years ago Mr. Keefer organised a Thomas A. Edison Science club in this city, and he has been ^eplng well informed on the pioneer work of Mr. Edison in this locality. The local electric light plant was started here In 1882 by Thomas A Edison, and he worked In It In 1883. e first dynamos used in the Edison lighting plant here are on exhibition in Dearborn, Mich. They were used here for many years and were sent to the Chicago World's Fair, after which they were stored in a city car barn. Later they were shipped to the Edison Pioneers. In 1923, when Sunbury celebrated Its sesquicentennial, Mr. Edison was Invited to attend, and upon his arrival the city commemorated the fortieth anniversary of the first three-wire lighting system in the world by unveiling a tablet lu front of the City hotel.

One veterinarian has observed that terriers seem to live longer than bulldogs, and in general that large dogs outlive small ones. Most dogs which escape automobiles, poison and other such hazards of a dog's life die at from nine to fourteen years of a^e. But occasionally representatives of practically all breeds survive until past twenty. Old-Tim* Wi»r»* Victims The fate of prisoners of war varied la different countries.
