In addition to the election of Mr. Hamilton, the council officers chosen included Julius Garfinckel, Kari W. Corby, Paul Bartsch and Henry P. | Blair, vice presidents: George Hewitt Myers, treasurer, and Barry Mohun, scout commissioner. Mr. Mohun's selec- tion was a reappointment.

Keep your system in good condition— protect your nose and throat THERE is no use worrying all winter for fear you will catch cold or get *“flu’’. Do the following swo things and forget it: First, keep your system in good condition, and, second, keep your nose and throat well protected. The chances are you will avoid contagion. As a first precaution, many doctors are prescribing Nujol. It is not a laxative or cathartic but a pure, pataral substance that helps your qstem function at all times the way vature intended it to. Like pure water, it is harmless. Physicians agree that, particularly in times of epidemic, purging by laxatives and cathartics is not advisable. Many doctors are now prescribing Nujol, as in no case does it cause ex- haustion or weakening of the sys- tem in any way.

As a second safety measure, usc Mistol, as it protects the nose and throat against the germs of influ- enza. Use it every morning, the first thing, before you go out.

HENRY. Dangerous children are rare. Thay seldom carry thefr primitive dreams of slaughter and carnage nto reality. Yet not infrequently news- papers contain accounts of killings by carly adolescents. Children with cravings which threaten to be realized occasionally come into the Gales Special School, after proving | unmanagable in other public schools. There they are given special study by Harold D. Fife, principal. Paul was a sullen, unmanagable boy with an obsession for knives. | He was a dangerous kid and the| teachers were afraid of him, with good | reason. It wasn't the child’s fault that | he never had killed anybody. It was his good luck. | When a teacher tried to discipline him he would draw a knife on her. On several occasions he attacked other children with knives. It was a wonder | that the schools put up with him as| long as they did. Again and again knives were taken away from him and | he always was able to get another. | Where he got them nobody knows. | Probably he stole most of them. Knife a Necessity. | was a necessity for the lad's | existence. It was as vital as morphine to a dope fiend. The probability is| that he suffered nervous tortures when | deprived of a knife. He would have | got them somchow, regardless of what obstacles were put in his way. | | " Fife volunteered to take Paul. School | officials warned him that he would be denling with a crazy kid who was cer- | tain to kill somebody sooner or later | |and that it would be best to put him | away somewhere, with no further at-| | tempts at reform. The child came from an excellent | fam. There was nothing wrong with | his home environment. His brothers | and sisters were all_perfectly normal. He had a low I Q, placing him among the high-grade morons. In| school he had been a continual failure in everything. He wouldn't study. He couldn't learn if he did Fife had him examined by a first class psychiatrist who found at the base of the knife throwing obsession the old inferiority complex. The child | suffered from his apparent inferiority in his classes. He had to have some way of attracting attention, of becoming the central figure on the stage. Knives did it. When he flew at| <omebody with a long, sharp knife in | his hands folks noticed him. The smart | children bscame insignificant figures | compared to Paul on such an occasion. Sought Impression. | He wanted to impress himself on folks, to make them feel his presence | and his tmportance. A teacher would | | feel a knife thrust in her body. She | { would pay attention to Paul then—he | would be the most important figure in | | the world to her. | | Paul, | this out. A knife He simply felt it. So long | | as he had a knife in his pocket he felt | being to walk over hard pavements as i | himself the ruler of his little universe. Without a knife he felt sick, helpless | and unnecessary. | | 1t was almost a foregone conc!usioni that the time would come when a mur- der would be necessary to the boy's peace of mind—a murder into which he would be forced inevitably. | At the Gales School Paul remnmed] the sullen, unmanageable, bone-headed kid. The change of environment ap- | parently did no good. He still carried knives Fife tried to talk him out of it, but it is impossible to argue a per- son out of chessions. The form may be | changed. but not the substance. | Fife suspected that here again was a case of dual personality, but lhere‘ was no point of contact. The child | seemed to have no interests upon | which other interests could be grafted. Even knives did ngt constitute such an | interest. ~ They existed, for him, only | to stab folks with. Wanted to Kill Pitcher. It Paul was playing base ball and was struck out, for instance, his im- mediate reaction would be to rush the pitcher who so humiliated him with a knife. | The teacher saw that he had an al- | most hopeless job on his hands. The | only course open was a patient study ‘of minute behavior characteristics, some one of which might prove a key to the boy’s better nature. It required weeks and weeks before the clue came— weeks during which Paul just moped around the room, pretty much his own boss. Fife noticed the boy several times | puttering with the valve of the steam radiator in the room. At such times Never has colds Just tile your head back and apply | Mistol with the special dropper | which comes with every package, | until you feel it trickling down your throat. It will clear your head won- derfully, relieve any inflammation; it will help dry up a running nose. It has a soothing effect on the throat too. Gargle it for a sore throat or a lietle irricating cough. The combination treatment of Nujol and Mistol is a double safeguard against colds and influenza. Start this wise twofold precaution now. Put worry out of your mind. Nujol and Mistol are onsale atalldruggists. —Advertisement | time | child puttering with the steam radiator Gales Special School Finds Mechanica’ Ou1-t for Inferiority Complex of ; Knife Wielder. | he seemed absorbed in the mechanism He didn't ask questions about it—but just screwed and unserewed the valve and time again. Ordinarily a n a schoolroom would have been | cprimanded. Possibly the boy had a mechanical mind, Fife thought. He decided to test him out. The next morning, through his breakfast a little ate, he | glanced hastily about his garage for some mechanical device for the child. | ‘There was nothing appropriate. He | picked up an old shock absorber, brok- en, out-of-date, and long past its days\ of ‘usefulness. | Upon such trifling incidents as_this | the course of a whole life may turn, That day in school Paul was fas- cinated by the shock absorber. Time | after time he took it to pieces and put | it together again. He resented any | efforts to explain to him how the de- | v worked. He had found his voca- | fon, Turns Inventor. A few weeks later he came to the acher with the announcement that | e old shock absorber was no good, | that the fellow who made it didn't | know anything about the principle of | the thing, but that he had invented a | much better one. He had made it at | home out of wood. He explained his | idea and it seemed workable. It oper- | ated with water which, Paul said, was | the great defect. Water ran through the holes too easily. He had an idea | that what shock absorbers needed was | molasses. Fife gave him some money to buy a quart of molasses. Shock absorbers began to repla knives as Paul's obsession. He thoug and lived shock absorbers. Still he wouldn't learn anything else. Fife de- | cided that it was best to let well enough | alone. He saw that the proper environ- ment for the boy was a shock absorber environment, for the time being. i Paul was rather young to go to work, | but a garage owner, after repeated | solicitation, agreed to give him a trial | without any pay. The boy leaped at the | | chance. He could get money from his folks, he said. and would be willing o pay the garage man for an opportunity | to live among shock absorbers. | That was months ago. Today Paul | has the reputation of being one of the | best shock absorber mechanics in Wash- ington. He does nothing else. Some of | th~ most expensive cars the city are brought to him for his expert opinion on shock absorbers. Works in Garage. But he is far more than a shock ab- sorber mechanic. He has a shock ab- | sorber imagination, He is working on the perfect shock absorber for automo- | biles. It is very likely, experts who have | looked over his work say, that Paul wili | some day revolutionize the world's ideas | on shock absorption. He is a shock a sorber genius. He knows everything about them and thinks of nothing else. | He seems to have an instinctive ability | to look at a rough-riding car and teil what is wrong with its shock absorber | system. But he already is thinking beyond shock absorbers for automobiles into the subject of shock absorbers for men. of course, hadn't reasoned all | He has an idea in mind, he confided || to Fife, which will enable a human if he were floating through air.

Tennsylvania Representative Only Few Weeks of Term Left to Serve. s ‘The right of James M. Beck, form: solicitor general, to a seat as Repub- lican Repretentative from the first Pennsylvania district was upheld in the House late yesterday with less than two months of his term remaining. The House first rejected a resolution to unseat him, which has been gathering dust in a committee pigeonhole for more than a year.
