Just the contentment of being able to fully relax in such a soft, downy Davenport as the one in the picture above, and there’s not one of us would swap places with a king. All of this pleasure and comfort can be yours if you'll just take the trouble to select a piece or so for real comfort. A Karpen Davenport like the one above wouldn’t cost you much—and think of the pleasure and service it will give. It’s a good thing, though, that when-you go looking for a Davenport you insist on one from which you can expect a lifetime of service. Thank you.

MOSCOW, February 26.—The fact that the human machine requires sleep 1s one of life’s tragedies to George V. Chitcherin, the soviet foreign affairs minister. Sleep is also a tragedy to those who have to do business with him. The best hour to have an inter- view with Chitcherin is between midnight and 8 am. The only hours he devotes to rest are be- tween' 8 a.m. and noonday. The remainder he spends in work, with short fifteen-minute to half-hour rest Intervals when he goes to his bachelor room, adjoining his of- fices, and lies down possibly to sleep for a few minutes. His clerks have a hard time of it, a8 they cannot adjust their hours to his. They are. permitted -to work twenty-four hours at a .| stretch and then have liberty for two days. 2 Chitcherin is always on the job, except for the four hours men- tioned. He has stated that as he grows older he hopes to elimi- nate these sleeping hours. He' looks well, is round-faced and but for red ayelids, shows no signs of his sleep wrestlings. Food {s also a material difficulty with which Chitcherin battles. He gets 8o absorbed in his work that he frequently forgets to eat, and when reminded that he must, he takes but a few bits of bread and butter. Sometimes, he is indis- ALLEGED SLAYER’S SON CHARGED WITH THREATS Staunton Man Ill and Guard Put at House—Postman’s Successor Has Armed Protection. Special Dispatch to The Star. STAUNTON, Va., March 24—4% the time his father, J. B. Stout, was being indicted by a special grand jury at the courthouse here for the murder of Joseph H. Guinn, Orth Stout was under arrest at the Stout home, be- tween West Augusta and DeerfieM. The charge against the younger Stout, according to Magistrate J. W. Montgomery of Deerfield, is that he threatened to kill the man who super- seded his father as mail carrier on the Marble valley-Deerficld route. Following the alleged threats, the malil was carried under armed guard. Officers went to the Stout home to make the arrest, but found the youth sick in bed. @A doctor was summoned and said that Stout was threatened with grip and that it would be dan- gerous to bring him to the county Jail at Staunton, where his father now occupies the murder cell on the top floor. Two men were placed at the house as guards until he can be moved to this city. J. A. Lockridge, who formerly car- ried the mall on this_route, iS now serving temporarily. It is said that at the time Stout was given the route a petitior signed by more than 100 persons. protesting his appointment, was sent to the late Representative H. D. Flood. —_— DISCUSSES CRIME ORIGIN. Committee Regards Importance of Feeblemindedness Overrated. CHICAGO, March 24.—The impor- tance of feeblemindedness as a source of crime has been overrated, according to the committee on origin of crime of the Chicago crime commission. _Intelli- gence tests similar to those used in the Army are declared by the committee to indicate that the level of intelligence among first offenders ds not greatly dif- ferent from that which prevailed among drafted men during the world war. Holding that “crime is a reflection of character rather than of mentality, the committee renews recommendations that as a preventive clubs for boys and girls, supervised by leaders *“who are most capable of understanding youth, be distributed in regions where they are needed. The committee also finds that offend- ers who have been imprisoned four or more times compose ‘“one-third of the total prison population.” Tt recom- mends zn act “whereby one who has ‘been four or more times convicted and years,” defectives among such repeaters to appropriate Institutions. —_— Among the Congo natives a supe; stitious belief exists that the appear- ance of a baby's first tooth on the upper jaw is an i1l omen to the com- munity, and_that the child must therefore be killed.
