Today Good From Evil. Trotzky, Yes. Russia, No W heat Up Six Cents. By ARTHUR BRISBANE k___) The fight to save young Leopold and Loeb begins with an army of scientists, specialists, experts. The prosecutor says the young men, having pleaded guilty, cannot plead insanity. If they were insane, they could not be guilty. But experts will be heard and the judge will decide whether the young men shall be hanged, im prisoned, or sent to the insane asy lum. Hood comes from evil. This case will concentrate attention on the end'tocrine glands, which govern us and control the functioning of brain and body. Scientists will swear that young Loob is a murderer not through his fault, but because his pineal and pituary glands are abnormal. They will say that with certain glands lacking a human being feels no more emotion than a stone. If the court allows it they can demonstrate the truth of their statements. It will be an unpleasant trial. Fortunately, that plea of guilty will shorten it. But it will help to educate.many of those that espe cially need education. They read “the murders’’ if they don’t read anything else. Trotzky is studying Japanese. Japan, pleased to find new friends, is delighted to learn that Trotzy can write in Japanese characters “Leon Trotzky is Japan’s friend.” That may be true. But Leon Trotzky is no Muscovite and his racial birthplace is far from Russia. He may be fond of the Japanese, but the Russians are not. Japan has never troubled Russia except in the one big war, but the Russians for 1,000 years have learned to fear men that came rid ing on shaggy ponies from the east, men with high cheek bones, savage Tartars on whose ferocity Jengis Khan built up his vast empire in Mongolia, China, Persia, killing 5,000,000 human beings, conquer ing a dozen kings. Trotzky will have been dead a long time before real Russians lose their hatred and fear of those men from the east. Some time ago in this column you were warned against selling wheat “short,” as high-priced wheat would help Coolidge’s election and the powerful men want that elec tion. Don’t gamble, but be careful how you go short of grains. Wheat closed yesterday 6 cents a bushel higher than the day be fore. The federal trade commission orders the big steel company to discontinue certain “cost plus” and “Pittsburgh-plus” system of charges declared to be “unfair methods of competition.” Financial experts guess that the decision will cost the United States $ JO,000,000 a year. The big steel company could “absorb” the loss of thirty millions as easily as a small concern could stand the loss of a typewriter. When you sell steel at a profit for less than it costs many of your competitors to make it, you can sta«d several slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Human beings should not always use their own judgment, no matter how good their intentions. Eliza beth Sorber, nurse, in charge of a child born deformed, heard the father say, “it would have been better had the child not lived.” So she killed the infant, crushing it to death in her arms. It is difficult to think of a gorilla or orang-outang committing such a crime against her own kind. Much worse would happen if in dividuals were allowed to decide on the life or death of any person de formed, suffering, incurable, insane or otherwise afflicted. Astrologers seem to waste time studying stars, casting horoscopes. They were actually building up knowledge of astronomy. Ancient alchemists, vainly seek k ing transmutation of inferior * metals into gold, gave the world its first knowledge of chemistry and chemical combinations. Science laughed until lately at the mere suggestion of “transmu tation,” as it still laughs at “squar ing the circle,” “perpetual mo tion,” and some other “absurdi ties.” But it laughs at "transmutation” no longer. They are merely arrangements of electrons and nuclei particles of electric energy that might he com pelled to change one into the other, or abolffh them all. We and the cosmo are such stuff a< electrons are made of, and that's all we know.

Of self a mother never think*. “Nor from love's Isbor ever shrinks. —Mrs. Happy Jack. Farmer Brown'# Boy Cannot Solve the Puzzle. Why was Mrs. Happy Jack moving her family from the big maple tree up by Farmer Brown’s house over to a hollow In a tree a little way In the Green Forest? Farmer Brown's Boy puzzled and puzzled trying to think of a reason. Those babies were not yet big enough to even poke their heads outside their home. It was a long jour ney from that maple tree over to the Green Forest. It was a dangerous journey, for if one of Mrs. Happy Jack’s enemies should discover, her with a baby in her mouth she would have hard work to escape. Four times Mrs. Happy Jack made that Journey from the maple tree over to the Green Forest and back. Four babies she brought to the Green For est and put in the hollow tree. Farmer Brown's Boy could see that she was very tired as she brought that fourth one. Several times she stopped to rest. And while she rested there was such an anxious look in her eyes. When she had left the fourth one In the tree she didn’t appear again for some little time. Farmer Brown’s Boy had about decided to go back home, when he saw her coming out of the tree. She went back as be fore to the maple tree up by the house. This time she wasn't gone long. When she returned there was no baby In her mouth. She hurried up into her new home and disap peared. "It must be that she went back this last time to make eure- that she had all the babies," thought Farmer Brown's Boy, which was a very good guess. But he was as puzzled as ever, and all the way bark home he "Black Pussy, have you been bother ing those squirrels?" demanded her master. kept wondering and wondering what could have caused Mrs. Happy Jack to desert that snug home in the maple tree and move her family over to the Green Forest. • "Some one must have frightened her.” decided Farmer Browns’ Bcjy. "Some enemy must have discovered that she had babies in that hollow branch. But, for the life of me. I cannot think who it might be. I’m sure Black Pussy hasn't bothered her. I’ve watched out for that. I’ve kept Black Pussy shut nights, and I haven’t once seen her around that tree. Of course, she may have slipped - over there when I haven't been around. But even If she did get up there, she couldn't get into that hol low branch, for the opening la too small.” a Just then Black Pussy came along. "Black Pussy, have you been bother ing those Squirrels?” demanded her master. "Meow!” replied Black Pussy, and. arching her back, rubbed against his legs. "No, I don't believe It was you,” de clared Farmer Brown's Boy. "But It must have been some one. I wonder if Shadow the Weasel has been arouhd and Mrs. Happy Jack has seen him. He hasn't been up to the ■ nest, for there would have been nd babies left If he had. I can't think of any one else who could have made Mrs. Happy Jack move her faraily while the babies are so young ” (Copyright. 1924 ) The next story: "Farmer Brown's Boy Finds the Answer.
