DID YOU EVER
KILL ANYBODY?
AN UNKNOWN WRITER POINTS
OUT INCONTROYERT
ABLE FACTS
Did you ever kill anybody ? At
first thought it seems a monstrous
and an absurd thing to hur! such a
question at the public. But if
' every man and woman would answer
this question truthfully we should
:ind that every other one is prob
ably guilty of at least one murder,
| and that most of them are at this
I moment methodically e ngaged in
bringing about other killings.
Public officials, through their neg
lect to enforce the laws, frequently
murderer scores of innocent workers
when fire sweeps through an unsafe
factory building. Business men
murder their employes by over
v orking them, by underpaying them
and by failing to provide safe and
sanitary working conditions.
if Darwin's famous theory of the
survival of the fittest Is true (and
who can doubt it?), the strongest
turvlvc and the weakest perish. It
is said that 90 per cent, of the
people who go into business fail.
Competition is so strong that only
the shrewest, the most active and
the most vigilant succeed, and un
der the operation of natural busin
ess laws this small fraction dispos
sesses the other and larger frac
tion.
The little fish are eaten by the
tig fish, the big fish are eaten by
men, and men, speaking metaphor
ically. are eaten by other men. But
it is through the habits and little
idiosyncrasies of n^n and women
that most of these unpunished mur
ders are committed.
A drunkard often kills his wife
by his habits as surely as if he
drove a knife through her heart,
and so does the man who is too en
grossed in business to spare time
and thought for his home.
- A wise philosohper has said that
no two persons, unless they are a
man and woman violently in love,
can live intimately together for ten
> ears without hating each other.
The unconscious defect of one’s
character his little whims a nd
crochets, his pet theories or his
■ darling hobbies, are sometimes the
instrument of slow torture by which
a man murders his wife.
In a similiar way a wife frequent- \
!y murders her husband. The daily
torture of tired nerves finally brings
the victim to the grave, just as sur
ely as a daily pinch of strychnine.
t. the coffee pot. There have been
thousands of boys who have murder- !
ed their mothers without knowing it.;
Perhaps after all, it is not an im
pertinent question for ail men and
women to ask themselves:
“Did you ever kill anybody.”

HOUSHOLDER CAN HAVE OWN
LIGHT PLANT
Small Water Engine and Dynamo
Is all That is Required
A machine that will enable every
householder to have his own elec
tric light plant in the cellar of his
home has been invented by a Mil
waukee man. The machine runs by
water "ower, and its invetor claims
that r dynamo providing eighteen
lamps with electric current can
be operated at a cost of between 6
and 7 cents for a solid ten hour day.
Through his machine, which he
has in partial operation in his
home, he maintains that the week’s
washing can b edone at an approxi
mate cost of 1 cent.
"My engine, as I call it, b oper
ated by water power,” said the in
ventor. “I do not need much water
to run it, either. For instance,
this engine now in use makes 965
revolutions per minute and yet the
stream, of water that operates it
is only three-thirty-seconds on an
j inch in diameter. I get tny power
direct from an ordinary water
faucet.
"My compound engine, by simply
pushin ga lever, will increase the
flow of water sufficiently to produce
1,800 revolutions a minute, there
by doubling the power.
“The engines cost about $9 each.
Dynamos will cost from S16 to ¥18
each, so that the initial outlay is
not large. The space occupied Is
negligible, the engine measuring
only 17x18 inches, in its case, which
s just a fraction over two inches
thick.
“I have attached it to my turn
ing apparatus, and I find it works
admirably. By its use lean bore
i the forty-four holes necessary for
> constructing a screen door in less
than ten minnutes. I can attach
it direct to an emery wheel, and
Find I can get as good results as in
a machine shop. A!! if this I can
do by water power direct, and do
not need a dynamo.”
