TifHn, Ohio.--The little matter of a glass eye has restored peace In the neighborhood of Seneca county's jail. The eye has proved a time and trouble saver for Sheriff George Burkett. And the same glass eye does not exist as far as Seneca county's prisoners are aware. Therein lies the story of an ingenious sheriff and the gullibility of unsuspecting ^prisoners. SherifT Burkett's qounty charges wouldn't behave. Meek as lambs and docile In his presence* they resorted tl» boisterous frolic as soon as his Jtatchful eye was turned. His Peace Disturbed. The sheriff knew this. Prom his residence across the jai! yard, fee could hear the Inmates creating turmoil which declined to a meek and Innocent tranquility as soon as he stalked wrathfully through the outer Iron door. His peace was disturbed. The neighbors complained. What was needed was an omnipresent eye. To the amusement of the Inmates, the sheritf drilled a long line of small holes completely across ao outer wall of the Jail. Twenty-four hours after the last shaving was gouged through the last diminutive port hole the chuckles of Seneca county's prisoners faded. "They were replaced in rapid succession by impatience, disgust and finally consternation. Moves Glass Eye. Their every action was now being watched by a jeering, belligerent eye. The sheriff was first at one hole, then at another--always with that same malvolent stare. Inmates chafed under the almost constant surveillance. They murmured talk of boycotts, protests, petitions, appeals and the others which they could remember having heard In courts. But their complaints were always registered sotto-voce. There were no more tumultuous Ooises emanating from Seneca county's jail. Meanwhile Sheriff Burkett wears a pniile continuously. Several times each day he slips from his rodm. From a small recess in the wall he lifts a small, gleaming object and re&tores it (to another hole further down th? line. And the hapless prisoners on the opposite side writhe but writhe quietly. Should Make Motherhood -- Study, Says Specialist Chicago. -- Modern flappers should prepare for motherhood as thoroughly as do young men for their business careers. "Better future generations and happier families will result through the discarding of the old traditions of motherhood which were largely 'rules of the thumb' passed on from mother to daughter," declared Esther Ackerson Fischer, nationally known dietitian, in an address here. "Scientific research by the medical profession has removed many of the doubts as to the proper care of children and the modern mother Is well advised to consult her family doctor constantly, following his directions implicity rather than listening to the advice of neighbors or friends. "Young women should study the problems of motherhood and learn to. rely on the experience of specialists and doctors." r ~ ; ' ALONG LIFE'S TRAIL 7 By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK P«-- «f M*a, University of THE STORY OF McMINN rd like to tell briefly the story of MclCinn with the hope that it might hejp some other' boy or act as a deterrent of some indulgent parent who is tempted to make life too easy for his child. I've Just come from talking to McMinn, and I feel 'pretty low i n s p i r i t s f o r there wasn't really very much that one could say to him. lie seems to have played most of his cards and lost McMinn has never done anything that he found unpleasant or difficult. His father is rather a preoccupied business man who lives in one of the suburbs of a great city and who goes off in the morning usually before the boy is up, and who comes home at night tired and too much taken up with other things to give the boy much attention. Mother has had the direction of the boy, and she is so fond of him that whatever he shows a desire for she gets him immediately, for there has never been any need of economy In the McMinn family and no tendency toward practicing it. McMinn has never shown any particular Interest in study. He was sent to a boys' private school at first, but he did not do well there, and so was transferred tp the public school where he finally thade the grade to enter high, school. His preparatory school record was rather a hectic one. He had all sorts of experience--local high school, two or three high-grade pre-, paratory schools in New England, and then back in high school again to graduate two years later than the average boy i does, and even then with only a mediocre record. And then McMinn c£»me to college. He had really never studied any; ha found no joy or satisfaction in study.

THE OUTDOORS GET READY NOW 1 Right now is an excellent time to give your fishing tackle a complete overhauling, so as to have it in readiness when the laughing streams of early spring send forth their call. Nothing is more discouraging than to travel many miles away to your favorite stream, then discover thai your tackle is not in good condition. However, such happenings are a common occurance among the great armv of fisi^rmen throughout the country and-many trips have been spoiled >n account of loose ferrules, rusty reel pivots, lost tip-top, split rods, rotted lines, aged gut leaders, moth-eaten flies and other disagreeable items we could mention. Every split bamboo rod should be varnished whether the windings are loose or not, as it will protect the rod just that much more for the new seasons activities. Ferrules can be tightened by holding them over a gas flame or lighted candle until they become quite hot. Do not heat them too much, however, as they may lose their temper and bend easily, which naturally makes them worthless. Ferrule cement and a small bottle of varnish should always be carried as accessories in the fishing country. One never knows just when such items might be needed to save the day's sport. Take your reel apart and oil it' thoroughly before departing on your spring fishing expedition if you expect same to perform satisfactorily. Sand and grit usually get into the bearings and should be cleaned out with care. The enameled line should be newly dressed and rubbed down carefully with a soft cloth. To cast well, it is necessary to have the rod and line working in harmony, especially wfeen. f l y c a s t i n g . ^ V i j N First VestHbuled Car The fundamental patent fQr the American vestibuled railway car vas Issued to H.
