REGARDING FAKE DOCTORS.
the story, in The Day Book regard
ing Dr. Hickson's fake way of pass
ing on the sanity of so-called young
criminals reminds me of an article I
read in The Day Book last summer
by Jack Robbins, the big brother,
who at the time protested against the
city paying $5,000 a year to a fake
doctor.
I remember Mr. Robbins at the
time claimed that sooner or later the
public will get wise to this fake, but
not until Hickson has caused the
downfall of many young lads.

DIVINE RIGHT. "Veritas" asks:
"Who oppose the single tax, and
why?" Strange any one is ignorant
after I have taught the real social
science. When my instructions are
ignored I become peevish. The land
tax cannot be the sole tax, because
that would be taking for public use
the rent that has always been the in
come of my class, and always will It
is the divine plan.
Monarchs took the land b& divine
right and gave It to the nobles, who
lease it to the toiling class. Some
subtle force compels these tenants to
pay the rent without question or
complaint; call it natural law, if you
like, the effect is the same that
ease and culture are supported by
ground rent, all in the order of na
ture. I know many become victims
because of lack of opportunity, but
this is mostly because they are un
fit. So are insects and worms; they
cannot cope with teh creatures who
devour them.
The. lamb may struggle to evade
the wolf; but the tenant resists not
at all, for he knows his place in na
ture, and duty to my class. Thus the
highest type of exploiters find sub
sistence easier than do the carnivora.,
The only parallel in lower life that,
could be imagined would be that
sheep might bring their lambs to the.
lion, to be eaten. Having fixed th$
status of the tenant I hope to hear no
more of the single tax in The Day,
Book. C. F. H.
THE MEANEST THEFT. Two
little 10-year-old girls were merrily,
skating along the sidewalk on Huron
st, near Oakley blvd., when a stylish
ly dressed young "lady" approached
them and asked the mif they would
go to the store for her mother, who
was sick. She said she would give
them a dime.
Her mother, she said, lived on the
third floor of a near-tiy house and
was 'so very sick that she could
hardly get about at all. The kids
agreed to go to the store, so the
"lady" told them to take off their
skates, as they could not climb the
stairs with skates on. Off came the
skates.
"No, dearies," said the lady, "go
rightup to the top floor and I will ring
the bell to let mother know you are
coming. I will hold your skates un
til you come back.
So up went the kids and they were
greatly surprised when, arriving at
the top and knocking at the door,,
they were told that there was no sick
mother there, nor did any girls live
there. They went downstairs to find
that not only had the "nice lady" dis
appeared, but thei rskates had also
vanished.
They are still looking for the
"lady" with the "taking ways," who"1
is about 5 ft. 5 in. in height, blue eyes,
brown hair, was wearing a brokn silk
waist, a black or blue pleated skirt,
Land Was apparently about 18 years
rof age. She hadno hat at the time
of her act, so possibly resides some
where in the near vicinity.
