NO. 3 FOUR-YEAR OLD GIRL IS KIDNAPPED FROM HOME HERE Quite a sensation occurred in the vicinity of 18th and Stockton streets on last Sunday morning about nine o'clock when it was learned that little jeanneette, the 4-year old adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Webster Deane, had been kidnapped by its father and mother, Melvin and Claudy Slaughter. It seems that three women went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Deane, 1706 Stockton street. They were asked into the house and engaged in conversation with Mrs. Deane, at the same time playing with Jeanneette. The elderly woman asked Mrs. Deane for a drink of water and accompanied her to the next room. The elderly woman gave the signal and the little child was hurried to an automobile which stood just around the corner. Mr. Deane realizing what had happened, gave chase for a short distance, then called up the police headquarters and notified the detectives, and in a short while they were in touch with every important city between Fitchmond and New York. Sunday night about 10 o'clock mese sage was received at the Deane home that the kidnappers had been caught in Frederickburg, Va. and were being held for identification. Mr. Deane secured the services of Dr. J. H. Blackwell and his fine Hupmobile, and accompanied by the detectives left early Monday for Frederickburg and by 4 o'clock that afternoon little Jeannette was resting peacefully at the home of her adopted parents. from whom she was stolen, and her mother and father languished in the station house. It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Deane have had the little child ever since it was four or five days old and are the rightful guardians, having beer so designated in a recent court proceeding. *The case was aired in Police Court Part 2 last Wednesday morning and after a preliminary hearing, the kid nappers were sent on to the grand jury. 44TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

D., Pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, A RECORD OF THE PAST—FINDS VALUABLE DOCUMENTS. Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks spoke to large congregations at the Ebenexer Baptist Church Thanksgiving Day. He has lost none of his powers as a brilliant pulpit orator. At 12 o'clock his text was Psalms 118:1 and Psalms 96:8. He used two texts in expressing his thoughts. The assemblages were delighted. As he left the church one of his admirers placed into his hand an extract from a daily newspaper of a publication made November 26, 1874. It was as follows: "A Sunday School Institute for the benefit of colored Sunday School workers is being held at the First African Church. Rev. Walter H. Brooks missionary of the American Baptist Publication Society among the colored churches of Virginia, is conducter." Rev. Dr. Brooks is one of the ablest pulpit divins in this country.

S.)—Four former soldiers, convicted for participation in the Houston (Texas) riot of 1917, were released from the federal prison Wednesday night on parole. Their names were among nine for whom certificates of parole were received by Warden Biddle on the eve of Thanksgiving Day. Those freed were: John Geter, John H. Gould, Edward Porter and James Mitchell. Their life sentences had been commuted to 20 years by a special War Department board, which held hearings at the prison last spring. It is said, Mitchell, especially, had reasons to be thankful, he told Warden Biddle, when notified of the parole. Once he heard carpenters erecting the scaffold at Fort Sam Houston from which he was to be hanged. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by President Wilson. Mitchell has been leader of the prison orchestra. The destinations of the men were kept secret when they left the prison. All have been provided with employment. It was stated by Warden Biddle. Only 31 of the 67 Houston prisoners brought here remain in prison. PERSONALS AND BRIEF8: Many Richmonders went to Washington on to see the Howard-Lincoln football game.

OH- BETCH I A CRIMINALS ought to be "sit up" for terms twice to twice and a half as long as they generally get. That's the opinion of Superintendent William A. White of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D. C., one of the foremost alienists who testified at the Loeb-Leopold trial. Severer punishment isn't what Dr White has in mind. His object is reclamation of the criminals. His idea is that when a criminal is discharged from prison, he should be discharged—cured. Crazy criminals are sent to St. Elizabeth's. St Elizabeth's doesn't necessarily release them when their prison terms are up. It keeps them, since they are mentally unsound, as its patients, until it can pronounce them well again. "And our records," says Dr. White, "show that this is two to two and one-half times longer than their court sentences call for. RECLAMATION "And that shows, in turn, that if you confine a prisoner with the idea of helping him, and keeping him until you've done it, instead of sending him back to the world just as he was before, you'll keep him longer than our prisons usually do." Yet it isn't so much out-and-out insanity that Dr. White seems to think makes crime, as childishness in people who are physically grown up. "Age doesn't mean anything," he maintains. "Many men and women of 30 and 40 are nothing but children." In fact, the doctor would give the juvenile courts jurisdiction over all juvenile cases, even murder, committed by culpits under 21. "And there should be an absolute TOBEY AND TYKE PETER H. HARRIS DR. WM. A. WHITE separation of the child and his crime," he adds, "in the minds of those in authority. "The important thing is the child himself, not his crime." He impressed the District of Columbia Commission on Public Welfare Legislation with this view so much that it recently voted in favor of the trial of major as well as minor criminal cases in Washington in the juvenile court, if the offenders are under 18. Congress will have to amend the law to accomplish this but the commission will work for the change. "In my opinion," says Dr. White, "our whole court system is anti quated. It's rusty and creaks with age."

ITALIAN IMIGRATION. President Coolidge's message, announcing Education Week, was as brief and as sound as any message on education since Jaureus' message to the school teachers of France: "Teach the children to read intelligently and all knowledge is open to them." Fathers and mothers need not worry because their children lack "college education" if they have been taught to read intelligently, and if they read the right books, because their minds crave information. A better, more useful education can be got from two years' systematic reading of the right kind than the education planted in the average young student in his four years at college. Lord Ashfield, Englishman who thinks, says that Bolshevism is kept down in America by the fact that almost everybody has an automobile. Almost everybody hasn't an automobile. But almost everybody can reasonably hope to have one, or to ride in one owned by a son, daughter, brother or sister. They have found in Africa, well preserved, bones of a dinosaur, twice as big as the biggest thus far known. The history of that dinosaur would show that the bigger he grew, the nearer he was to extinction. That thought should occupy the minds of our financial dinosaurs. "Providence arranges it so that the trees shall not grow into the heavens." That's also true of dinosaurs and corporations. Mussolini complains, justly, that our immigration laws are a hardship for Italy. They are an ini- This is a food consumed by ville. The H.G.F.C.T. is crossing the park on peeling beef's neck.

Every employee of the Cleveland, O., Trust Company has been armed and taught to shoot, in the effort to discourage any thought bandits may have to hold up that institution. mtely greater hardship for the United States. The skillful workers that it would send to us, and that we stupidly refuse to admit, represent the very wealth that this nation needs. Florida alone could usefully take care of all Italian immigration for the next ten years, and be enriched thereby to an extent inconceivable. Why not permit the different States to establish their own quotas, regulate their own immigration, and agree to keep immigrants thus admitted within their own borders for a certain number of years after their arrival? A German scientist demonstrates his ability to get flakes of real gold from mercury. An American is working at the problem. Don't worry yet, however. The manufactured gold costs much more than the other kind. And mercury, having so great an affinity for gold, may have small particles of gold always stored away within it. The Massachusetts Historical Society has a genuine lock of Napoleon's hair. Thousands will gaze on it in awe that would never take the trouble to study the man that owed them all the hair. Read his letters to those that represented him in the government of his various conquered territories and you will know something about Napoleon's power. Read of his attitude toward women, a little above that of a chimpanzee, and you'll know about his weakness. A young man, eighteen years old, set fire to seven barns on Henry Ford's estate last April. He was convicted, and ordinarily would have been sent to spend his early manhood in some prison university of crime. Henry Ford appealed to the Court, and had the young man put on probation, guaranteeing that he, Ford, would send the young man that burned his barns to the Ford trade school. More trade schools and more Fords might make jails less numerous. A scientist in the British Museum, reading ancient papyri, finds one of the third century, containing thirty verses of the twenty-sixth chapter of Matthew. Thus we know that three centuries after the birth of Christ men were warned that "they that take the sword shall perish by the sword." Men nevertheless went on taking the sword and perishing by the sword through all the centuries up to now.

He was gone again, hastening up road toward the staring head- I was a big black machine, long I and great and heavy, with lug- gages on the running-boards, lug- gare on the rear, three spares, and four mounts, one of them a cha- fein in inform. The Wreck ignored the shuntor, although he kept a on the eye on him. He stepped close to the side of the tonneau and ad- ressed himself to one of the three people who sat there. "I'm asking you again for a few cales of gas," he said. "I've got to have it that's all. You can spare we some $ that any trouble." "And I am still telling you to go to the drill" answered a heavy voice from the central figure. "We havent got any gas to spare. And you'd get get get and pull that I have out of the road and let me go and help my daughter." We people with Cleveland," clared the Wreck, slowly, "are not gas hoo. If I had as much gas as you've in your talk I could run from here to New York. You're what I see: a damned dog. All I'm asking is two colons and I'll pay for it. Do I get it?" "You do not." There was an abrupt change in the Wreck's demeanor. He stepped back a price, pulled his cap close over his eyes and brought to view an dagger he had been concealing behind his back. Even in the gloom it was possible to get an idea of what it was. "Sick up up!" he barked. "All hands. Be in a hurry now." There was a feminine shriek from the tomboat, and the Wreck and those first learned that one of them was a woman. But it was no more than everybody! You there in the front seat. That's the idea. I want to see eight hands up all the time. And I don't want to see any movements either." He had to take it for granted that I would be up, he could not see them very clearly in the dark, so naturally as his eyesight was none it been. But that, of course, was nothing they did not know. "Lesser hard, now," he said, briskly. "When I tell you to do something, do it quick and don't give me my back talk. I want everybody out of that car, on this side of the road. And just keep these hands up; open the doors. I'll be awful for your health if you bear in I'm nervous. I'm apt to Everybody out, now; Line up." ©1924- BY NEA Service Inc. The driver came first, his arms stiffly aloft. Then three figures in single file from the tonneau, the last one wearing skirts. The person with the heavy voice congruded nervously. "Shall we!" commanded the Wreck. "You'll give me anything I want. You three—" He indicated the passengers with a wave of the gun. "You three step out in front of those lights where I can keep a good eye on you. That's business. Stay there. Now, driver, got a can?" "Ah—ah—yes, sir." "Get it—and be careful you don't get anything else." The man in uniform moved cautiously; to the side of the car and grabbed a five-gallon container from the running board. "It's full, sir," he said. "Full, it? Carrying extra gas and wouldn't give me a drop, eh? All right, you pick up that can and march—straight up the middle of the road." For a few seconds it puzzled the Wreck what to do with the trio who still stood with their hands up in the glare of lights. He solved it by order. SAY NOTHING: ing them to a point not away between the two cars, where he made them sit down and told them, not to baden. "My partner up a rove in the hurry," he explained, "our looking at you over a path of . . . us. He's a pretty good shot. He's nervous, too." you over a jpn U. "Currents, too" pretty good shot. He nerves, too" The man with the cregation walked ahead of the Wreck halted him within half a dozen paces of the stalker car. The Wreck stopped ahead of the bad dismuted aid and was stalking by the roadside, beyond the skim of light: "You crazy—" He placed a hand roughly across her lips. "Shut up!" he whispered. "Stay where you are and say nothing. I'm running this." Sally was boiling, but she obeyed. It seemed the only way to keep him from some other wild folly. The Wreck called to the man with the can and, as he reached the fliver, told him he would find a funnel on the floor. "Pour that stuff into the tank, and see to it that you don't spill any of it." It gave him a small thrill of satisfaction to find himself smartly obeyed. Then he marched the chauffeur ahead of him, back to the big car. As he passed the group in the road he tossed them a cheerful word of caution. "My partner," he said, "noticed one of you didn't keep his hands in plain sight. He says he wouldn't like to have it happen again."

"About fifteen, sir." "Pet-cock in the bottom? You better have, if you don't want to shoot a hole in the tank." "Yes, sir. We got a pet-cock." "Stick that one and it and it her go." Presently the driver complain that the can was full, and the Wreck verified the statement. "All right. Dump it out in the road." The driver started through the I am not. And the Wreck exemplified the order, him, by flicking the cover. "Now fill it out, and we commanded. The second thing was soon plished. "That'll do. That leaves you like gallons. It's too much for a boat that. Come along with the seat. now." They made a second trip to the fliver and emptied a second dose into the tank under the seat. "Now we go back again," said the Wreck. "And when I tell you to do something, I don't want any questions asked." "Nono, sir." Once more at the side of the big car, the Wreck ordered his servant to lay aside the five-gallon can. "Get a tire pump on that engine?" he pulled. "Yes, sir." "Rotten luxury. But it's going to save your back a lot of work. Get busy now and let the air out of those tires. All of it." The driver hesitated, from bewilderment rather than insubordination. But he jumped to the task when the Wreck prodded him with the muzzle of Sally's sixhoeer. The tires flattened them acutely under the wheels, each with a long, scarl sigh. "Open up those valves on the spares," directed the Wreck. The spares also sang a swan song. "There. You'll keep you busy for a while. Come along." They joined the group of officers in the middle of the road. Standing with his back to the headlights and carefully shielding his own face from illumination, the Wreck contemplated his victims for a moment. "You!" he said, suddenly, with a significant gesture of the gash. "The one who didn't want to sell any trumming, said the dog, 'haven't got time to do that right.' I met all kinds of hogs in the yard, but you're in the bloody yard. Maybe you don't know where to sit off light, but take it from me now.

Sally had climbed into the garden and the Wreck joked her. He switched on his headlights and the wheel, but he still had the gun in his hand. "Now, you just lay hold of that crank and get to work, hug." The gentleman with loud signs of wealth seized the crank and yanked it violently. "Spin it," ordered the Wreck. He spun it, but there was no answer from the engine. "Spin it some more." Not even a sputter. "Spin it again--harder." Still there was no response. The large man panted heavily and wiped his forehead. "You going to keep me here an night?" demanded the Wreck. "If you don't spin that crank--" There was another furious snail of whirling. Sally pinched the companion. "How can he start it when you haven't turned on the wrench?" said. "He can't," said the Wreck. "Do gone it, what did you butt in for I wanted to see him spin it." 7 Sum. 8 To make dark. 9 A minute particle. 10 Measure of paper. 11 Part of a harness. 12 Consequently. 13 Magnificent, dignified. 14 Grasped. 15 Fussure. 16 A beverage (Pl.). 17 Measure (Abbr.). 18 Disordered type. 19 Part of the verb "to be". 20 Regarding. 21 A receptacle. 22 Elder son of Isaac. 23 Not any.
