Anything that prevents any of these diseases, also serves to lessenothe occurrence of broncho-pneurnonia. The germs which,cause the res- piratory infections, as well as other. infectious diseases are conveyed in the secretions of the nose, mouth or throat. Indiscriminate kissing of the baby by adults and older chil- dren. coughing or sneezing into the air in the vicinity of the baby, and permitting the baby to put into its mouth things which may be contam- inated with germs, are some of the ways in which the baby may be- come infected with colds, bron~ chitis or infectious diseases. And rany of these may lead to broncho- I pneumonia. B. J.

Is thm‘e any way of gt‘ttlng pl‘l'nlillll‘llt l'vlivf?" Reply Lumbago merely means a pain in llw lower part of the back. It. is onv of those words that includes a number of different conditions, which means that the pain arises from a number of different causes. Strain or disease of the muscles, faulty posture. strain of neighboring jnints. disease of the spine, neuritis, or even «'lisease in other parts of the bmly. such as the pelvis, may cause it. It should be remembered that in- fected teeth or tonsils may also be a cause. A permanent cure can be brought about only by finding the exact cause. and having this remedied. Temporary relief is often obtained by applications of heat to the lower back. massage or having this region strapped with adhesive tape. M. F.

The release order was sent direct to prison superintendents, the police not being notified. and many of the released men were rearrested on the supposition that they had escaped. it. Incubation of Small-pox Reply 'h at a girl William Pinkerton, one of the most famous of detectives, once ut- tered a sentence that has become, according to'a. writer in the Phila- delphia Public Ledger, classic in the nthoicgy of crime detection. He said: “There never was a criminal who didn‘t leave a clue, and there has never been a crime that cannot be solved. Sooner or later the crim- inal must pay. No one can get away with it.” Greater nonsense, \Ye syp- pose, was never uttered by Mr. Pinkerton or anyone else. The vast number of crimes for which nobody was punished, nobod arrested, is proof enough that r. Pinkerton was emitting tosh when he made the remark. There are historic crimes which have remained mys- teries, and there are crimes being committed every day that never will be discovered. If every criminal leaves a clue. then it must be that I t t V i i l t t 1 1 t the detectives are not intelligent was a crime than cannot be solved, why are they not all solved? For instance, why is the mystery of the disappearance of Ambrose Small not cleared up? Few people doubt that he was murdered. Fewer still be- lieve that anybody will ever be con- victed of the murder. enough to find them. If there never \ Convicted by Spectacles \ . The Ledger writer takes the Pink- erton assertion as the peg on which to recall some memorable crimes of recent years whose detection was the result of trifling discoveries. For instance, Loeb and Leopold, the young Chicago murderers, would never have been arrested had not Leopold dropped his spectacles near the spot where they had hidden the body of young Franks. The lenses : were of a peculiar composition. It. 1 was a matter of mere routine for the detectives to find the manufac- turer of them, then the oculist who had prescribed them and then the person who had bought them. This led them directly to Leopold. But even after this discovery,they might nave impressed the detectives with their denials had it not been that the Loch chauffeur contradicted young Loeb and asserted that the. family car had not been out of the garage on the eventful night. The. murderers had endeavored to estab- 3 lish an alibi and said that they had \ I spent the evening__(_l_riving about in Hm MKS! vmo‘s “as TNNQ FROM MY mum." ! to 9 _ the family ca}. ”When {his denial was made, Lneb broke down and confessed. Koretz, one of the most noted swindlers in modern times, who was arrested not long ago in Halifax and senttback to Chicago, had estab~ lished a separate identity after flee.- ing from the United States. He might have lived unsuspected for years had he not forgotten to rip a label from one of his inside pock- ets; This label bore his name .and was noted by a Halifax tailor who had done work for the swindler and had not been paid.

He kept his dis- 0 covery secret and hurried to the tailor with the button and a small 0 piece of cloth. There he learned b that eight suits had been cut from m that particular material. Six of them i: were found in possession of the or. iginal owners, the seventh was be- 3 ing worn by a porter. The eighth a had been ordered by Fred. J. Higâ€" v . gi‘ns and delivered to a Chicago ad- 8 dress. Presenting himself at the ad- d ' dress, the reporter found a srtiking r : looking girl named’ Valentine de a .' Guerra, who denied. however, that v 1 she knew any Higgins. The reporter t induced her to write the name 1 1 down, and this when compared with 1 the tai-lor’s receipt for the delivery t t of the clothes, proved that she had a t taken them in. Then the police were ; I / informed, and the girl was inter- rogated. She persisted in her de- : nials. and then asked permission to phone her sister. This was granted, - and the detectives listened in. They - heard her give a message to a man, t1 and then they rushed out, but they ,f were too late. The man had fled. S Scott’s Fatal Mistake '2 It was learned later that the man d who had been murdered was the ,t head of an automobile stealing syn- “. dicate, and that he and W'. Palmer ,e Sparks, his chief lieutenant, had ,3 quarreled. Sparks was traced to [t Canada. where he enlisted and went ,1. overseas. There he was killed and ,_ accounts were squared. Russell T. 10 Scott, formerly well known in Tor- [8 onto, and now. under sentence of is death for a Chicago murder, might it not have been caught had he not it left hlS overcoat containing the key in to his hotel room in the drug store m where he killed . Joseph Maurer, 1d When the detectives reached the ’ room. he was not there; but they found on a writing pad a telephone ‘8 number. They traced it to a West b- Side flat. Detectives waited near the ad flat. and at dawn Scott turned up with the girl who lived there. He al was arrested. Another horrible 1d Chicago murder mystery was solved ' by the finding of a wedding ring and two small bones at the bottom of a sausage vat. With these trifling ed articles. detectives were able to as prove that Adolph Leutgert, a sau- nd sage manufacturer. had murdered ,1)- his wife and destroyed her body in .0- quicklime.

The ab- stipepce {rem tobaeoo,‘ the speaker ._ ___L hdted. had been voluntarily Insert»- ed in the qualifications by tbe boys themelves. The first Parliament was held in 1917, with 32 members; in 1922, it» had 67; in 19239“; tad in 192‘. the membershi was 96. The Ontario Boys‘ Wor Board were. the pro- moters and were re resenutive of all the evangelical churches in Canada. Premier Lapp gave a short resume I of the workings of the Parliament held this year, the tlrst day of which was spent in the election of a Prem- ier. The second day, an address on Barliamentary yprocedure was given Mr D mond in the forenoon. the Myternoony was devoted to committee work, and in the evening, the ses-, sion opened. The session continued duri Monday, Tuesday and W led- nesd of the next w,eek afternoon land evening. During the session. it. was visited bv several members of the Ontario Legislature. and the boys were highly complimented by Attorney-General Nickle and other Cabinet ministers. Du1ing the ses- sion, not one breach of parliament- ya: procedure was made. ' Th'ere were five bills passed last, session as follows: 1. To seek to establish 3 Boys’ Work or C.S.E.T. Sunday in Ontario, when services will be conducted en- tirely by Tuxis boys. 2. A program of activities for members to carry out or} their re- turn to their constituencies. 3. An amendment to the Boys’ Par- liamentary Act. 4. A League of Nations Act, ex- pressing boys abhorrence of war among civilized ntions. 5. The budget. This involved the bond-selling campaign. The sum of $8,500 is needed to finance the Boys‘ Work Movement in Ontario. 0! this amount, the objective for South Grey is $100.00, Durham’s share be- ing 822.00. The speaker referred to the need of finances and leadership if the Tuxis movement were to function properly. With this idea in view, Borsoleil Island in the Georgian Bay had been secured for a training camp when a ten days‘ training course was given each summer. It was advised that Durham send three boys there next July to enter train- ing for future leadership. Referring to the sale of bonds, Premier Lapp said that the Boys" Parliament was only a means to an end. Its object was the training or teen age boys for bigger things, and it needed finances to carry on the work. Last year $6.000 had been asked for. They got $12,000. Four- teen district camps had been estab- lished, the one held at Chesley be- ing closest to Durham. Mayor Hiltz of Toronto had contributed 850 and considered he had made a 100 per cent investment.

The egg market in Chicago last Friday took a tumble of from to to 12 cents per dozen. ’Hiis Spectacu- lar decline was no doubt due to the mild weather prevailing all over the country which probably increased production considerably.
