BERNARD KEATING.
City Auditor
The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron
Company, of Birmingham, Ala., has
replaced twelve mules in mine Jby
motor-driven cars.
The State Highway Commission of
Minnesota has established a labora
tory, equipped with machinery for test
ing cement and gravel used in con
struction of culverts and bridges.
A company at St. Paul has bought
sixteen motor 'buses for use in Inter
urban service to begin April 1. The
ravs will seat sixteen, have cross seats,
pay-as-you-enter entrance, heating fa
cilities and electric lights.
The front wheels should not be ad
justed so loosely that they are allow
ed to wobble. Neither should nuts be
screwed up so tightly that there is an
excess amount of friction caused by
the piessure created. When the wheels
begin "to give signs of play it is time
that the required adjustment be made.
Motor cars are to pay important
parts on two railroads in New Orleans
territory. The Ellinsville branch of
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chica
go railway, where the traffic does not
justify the use of the entire equip
vntnt of a regular steam service i to
I operated with motor cars. Tne
fJrand island Railway has also decid
ed to repiace the steam equipment with
jnotor cars.
A strong spirit is again developing
4n the west atrainst the exclusion of
luitomobiles from the Yellowstone
National Park. This spirit of oppo
sition has developed chiefly since the
. se of motor 'buses has been taken
' xtp by the concern having the privi
; lege of operating stages within the
' park. The old argument that motor
.-vehicles render the park unsafe for
general use has been exploded, and
i there will be no rest until its drive
tyu Are opened to national use of the
automobile.
President de Fonseca, of Brazill, has
signed an act by which the exploita
tion of the rubber tree forests of the
Amazon river region, and in fact in
all of Brazil, becomes subject to strict
regulation by special officers of the
state. Certain rules for tapping and
fer .replanting- are incorporated in the
measure. the passage of which was
due to the necessity of protecting the
rubber trade against the ever-Increasing
competition from plantations in
' the far Orient,- especially near the
Straits Settlement of Malacca and the
Indian archipelago.
A common cause of overheating,
frequent with careless drivers, is al
lowing the supply of oil to run below
normal. This is the most serious of
fense of which the driver of a car can
be guilty. It is the surest way of
spoiling the motor. Should the driver
feel the motor to bo Irresponsive to
the throttle or spark and at the same
time hear a groaning sound, it is time
to stop the motor and allow It to cool
off. It is also time to use the extra
supply of oil which might be along
with the car. if this warning be neg
lected the pistons will soon seize in
tne cylinders and the car In a short
time will be seen being ingloriously
towed to a repair shop.
There are several causes leading up
to the overheated motor. All of them
are easily prevented. Many cars will
run- welt along a level istretch of coun
try, but when called upon to negotiate
a long hill, symptoms of overheating
will occur. The cause of this is the
late spark, which is necessary when
the driver is loath to drop into a low
er speed and thus allow, his motor to
run fast enough so that the spark
does not have to be retarded to such
an extent. For this reason alone it
would be well to drop into a lower

allow the temperature of the motor to
rise as it will, whenever it has travel

often be sfound to boil after a climb
and , the "steam which passes through
the radiator cap represents a certain
amount of the cooling fluid which is
being lost. This might not mean
very much in most t cases, but wciere
water is somewhat scarce it is serious
Each gill of water which is not from

hunter of big game, is to "evange
lize" around the world fnm a motor

trips into the wilds of Africa, and will
soon st.irt on ha missionary work ac
companied by an expert chauffeur and

A crimp will be put in joy riding
m California if a recently enacted
statute is upheld. It provides that
o-ny driver of an automobile who,
while intoxicated, shall be a party to
an accident, shall be guilty of a fel
ony, and shall be subject to the severe
penalties provided therefor. Should
the law stand, it will have a tendency
to promote temperance among drivers
of motor cars, because there are very
few who would care to run the risk
of a prison term.

Three hundred thousand persons in
the United States are feeble-minded.
Five hundred thousand have not suf
ficient intelligence vto manage 'their
own affairs with ordinars prudence;
are unable to compete with their fel- '
lows on equal terms and thereby to t
earn livennooas.

of criminals, puupers, prbstitutes, etc..
actually do contain lar-e r-rrentages
of people mentally irresponsible. j
Actual tests m our rerormaiones
frvr Hrls nini hovs show that at least 1
23 per cent, of them are distinctly
fphlp-mindpfT Of one hundred con
secutive admissions at the State Re
form School tor ucys at mnway, w.
J., twenty-six were feeble-minded.
Nearly as many more were border
I'ne cases. Fifty-six girls who had
been inmates of the Massachusetts
RafArtnotnrw Vint TV Vl r hitf hppn rft-
Icased on probation were examined.
They were selected because of their
bad conduct and inability to remain
in homes found for them. All but
four were distinctly, feeble-minded.

average normal mentality, and sixty-

sinlenced for sixty aavs, serves nis

accomplished? Nothing! The chances

so mentally deficient that he was in

wrong. Two montns in jaii can nave
no possible effect on him. JHe comes
out with the same weak mind. His
time served he is set free and in a
few weeks or days is again before tne
court.
The writer examined eight women
in one of the best county almshouses
tn i-a fnunid All had eiven birth
to feeble-minded children within six
weeks of each other. The superin
tendent said that of 105 children born
there within a per'od of five years.
102 were feeble-minded.
Our government spends hunareas or
thousand dollars examining immi
grants to see that none who are feeble-minded
are admitted, but here's a
group already in our country who arc
breeding a race of feeble-minded people
more dangerous than many barred by
the imm'gration inspectors. -JVe spend
thousands of dollars to aetermui.t
whether TTnrrv Thaw is Criminal or
crazy that we may know whether t
send him to the hospital; we are
pretty particular not to make any mis
lake in such cases as his, but here's
an army of law breakers as to wnom
?t a a ssorious niipstion whether the
punishment be sixty days in. jau im permanent
care where they will , be
happv and harmless. Yet little is ,done
to determine tneir responsiwi iy
we make mistakes without blushing. ;
What then Is to be done? The
State should establish stations where
thoco pasos mav all be carefully and
critically studied so 1 that the courtf j
and other authorities may be able to
act intelligently upon the facts, at-
hpen discovered
hey must be removed from that en ,
vironment in which it nas Deen proves
they are incapable of living norma
lives, in accordance with the conven
tions of society. . They must be color
ized in groups where they may be pe
etlTT hatiTT an d somewhat useful
Only one limitation need be placed ur-
on them in tnese places ana mat
they must never become parents.
Our studies at Vineland have showr
that 65 per cent, of feeble-minded peo
pie are the children of feeble-minded
people. There is at Vineland a feeble-minded
boy who had as parents
a normal father and a feeble-minded
mother, s As a result of this marriage
we have . seven, feeble-minded chii-
dren, four others that died at infancy
and there were two :miscarriages. If
we trace back as far as the grand- ;
parents, this is the fourth chld of thip '
strain that is in our institution. ' The :
condition Is strongly hereditary. If,
feeble-mmded people are anowea to
become parents they will bring into
the world another group like them
selves. We are discussing a possible State
policy. We are not looking to the
immediate solution of this condition
but to the gradual reduction of our
present troubles and the prevention of
them hereafter. As already stated
we must ' carefully examine all cases
that come to public notice. But many
parents are enther normal or of such
a high grade, of defectiveness that
they never get into court and yet have
feeble-minded children. We cannot
touch these adults. We must some
how get hold of their children.
Our compulsory education laws
bring every child before school offl
c'als. Each will be examined as to
his mental development. If he be
normal he will go ta school as now;
if he be merely backward he will be
placed in a special class; if he be an
idiot or ah imbecile his condition will
be recorded; if he be a border-line
case he may be sent to school but ho
must be watched. At the (proper
time the parents must be informed of
fha nnnriittfiri of the. child and of the
willingness of the State to take care !
of it in a colony. When these are .
located within a reasonable distance a j
great many parents will become will- :
ing to allow their children to be cared !
for. To those who are unw'lling the
State can only say: "We insist that
you shall care for him, see that he doe?
not get into mischief and above all
that he does not become a parent
Whenever, we find that you are neg
lecting this duty, then we shall take
him and place him in a colon-."
Some will say that such a policy
would Involve endless expense. It is
true that it will cost money but so
does the crime that we now have to
endure Furthermore it must not be
forgotten that when these mentally
defective persons are trained to do
things rather than to read from books,
many of them have become self-supporting
under direction.
We may reasonably hope that a pol
icy of segregat'on carefully followed
..Tin in a conoralirvn or twn lni-p-plv i-p
