It seems to be all Owen to the heavy vote for Sears in Key West—St. Petersburg Independent. Many wonder how their neighbors got their money, but more are curious about how they will spend it.

A prosperous tailor friend attributes his suc- cess to Eve, explaining that if she hadn’t eaten that apple people never would have worn clothes. 7, As long as Joe Sears lives he ought to be grateful to Key West. ‘The rest of the district turned him down. The capable congressman gets in only by the “skin” of his teeth. Key West alone saved him.’ Joe must not again neglect his fences.—Tampa Telegraph. Possible students of the American crime wave and seekers for its cure have been overlooking some- thing by not investigating Swedish conditions and methods. A recent news dispatch told that the num- ber of murders and manslaughters has decreased in Sweden from an annual average of 60 for the de- cade of 1870-80 to an average of 19 or 20 for the years 1922-24. It was further stated that the death penalty has been abolished in Sweden, in spite of which the decrease in crime continues. How do they do it? And why can’t we?—Miami Tribune. GETTING INTO A RUT Owing to the growing tendency toward special- ization in every department of human activity, it is becoming more difficult “for the average man to keep*in touch with what is going on outside his own immediate interests. He becomés so engrossed with his special line of work that he runs a great risk of getting into a rut. While the exactions of modern business and professional life lead necessarily to a high degree of specialization, they should not be permitted to un- duly restrict one’s mental horizon. Everyone should take sufficient time to keep abreast with important development in the world about him. By doing so he will often encounter ideas which will be of practical benefit in his own sphere of effort. Above all, he should lay. aside routine duties frequently for the purpose of indulging in system- otic thinking. Many men are able to evolve their best ideas in some quiet spot away from the scene of their daily labors.

He felt that what this country needs is intelligent thought. He regarded it as possible that such thought might have. pre- vented both the Civil war and the Spanish-Ameri- can war. He felt there is a tendency through in- dolence and self approval to keep thinking the same thoughts over and over again, whereas we should be able to change our minds when there is reason for it. Thinking seems to be quite painful to many people. They regard it as dull work and would else. And yet all the people who have accomplished anything worth while have had to think out their successes, The successful business ment, politicians, athletes, actors, artists, ete., keep their/brains work- ing every minute. Success does not jcome by. luck but by correct thought, applied to action. NOTED VETERAN DIES Major General Charles F. Humphrey, retired who died in Washington on June 4, injhis 82d year, was one of the outstanding Peperices soldiers of his generation. Entering the Army as a private at the age of 18, he had more than 44 years of continuous ser- vice to his credit when he was retired from active duty in 1907. He had participated in the Civil War, in many Indian campaigns, in the Spanish- American War, in the Chinese relief expedition and-in action in the Philippines. He won his Congressional Medal of Honor “‘for most distinguished gellantry in action at Clear- water, Ida., July 11, 1877, when he voluntarily ang successfully conducted, in the face of a withering fire, a party which recovered possession of an abandoned howitzer and two Gatling guns lying between the lines and. within a few yards of the Indians, while serving as first lieutenant, 4th U. S. Artillery.” In the Spanish-American War he was chief quartermaster of the Santiago expeditiorf, and he was chief quartermaster of the Army from 1903 until 1907. He gave five sons to the service of the United States, of whom two are colonels in the Army, one is a major and another is a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, one is a captain in the Merchant Marine. Few soldiers ever had a longer or more dis- tinguished career than General Humphrey, and he richly deserved the high rank and honors bestowed upon him. exceptional THE BAD BOY PROBLEM Some ideas on the bad boy problem were given in an address at a national conference of Jewish social service agencies at Cleveland. It wes said that the delinquent boys are not less in- telligent than normal boys, but their minds seem to be mechanically inclined. It was Said that these delinquent boys are ret self assertive, as people often think, but they are apt to be weak, moody, and inclined to run away. their: peculiarities in public schools, so as to be well in handling tools. Probably what most of them need is some them and give them incentive to work well. ing, than to pay for the losses they create if they become criminals, WHY PEOPLE CROWD TOGETHER Recent population estimates give New York thing that such a vast mass of people, amounting to over six per cent of the population of the United States, should crowd into one big town.
