Plans For Recovering Treasure 5 of Ships Lost There ^ Across the downs from the littlo English fishermen's village of Deal, near the point where the North Sea J merges into the English Channel, t lie the treacherous Goodwin Sands?It the graveyard of the North Sea. , i Here for centuries countless ves- * sels have been driven to pieces up-' > on the shoals?ships of battle, treas-, t lire hearers and indiamen, carrying I precious cargoes. Here innumerable ? lives have been lost, and here is believed to be the greatset treasure < cache in the world. < , But not always were the Good- 1 win Sands the dread fear of seafar- 1 ing men they are today. Once, ho < tradition runs, before the Norman j conquest of England, these barren < sands were the fertile and beautiful 1 estate of the Earl of Goodwin, i where he ruled in peace and made < his home. It was then an island < surrounded by a high sea wall to ; keep back the charging waters. With the coming of the Normans,> the earl was compelled to turn his tittle island estate over to the ah-, bey of St. Augustine at Canterbury. Yhe abbot in charge, little realizing ihe condition prevalent in his newly obtained estate, allowed the great j sea wall to go to pieces, weakened, by the constant beating of the j waves. In 1010 came a great torm. The! seas rolled liigli and broke, with tor-j rific force on the weakened walls, j Two lays it lasted. The skies were! darkened and many ships were lost, j When calm came again the people! in the little village of Deal gazed i acvoss^ tho water toward the site of i the little islam' estate and robbed' their eyes. The island had disappeared. The sea had engulfed it. j In th<* years that followed the is-; land was more deeply submerged end covered with sand. It became the scene of innumerable wrecks. Every fale brought, a new victim to be swallowed by the shifting sands. ' Even in fair weather ships, striking tho unchartered shoals, would be 1 speedily drawn below the waves by ' the action of the sands. The latest attempt to uncover ' these riches of centuries is expected to be made according to plans 1 nut forward by Lord Headway, president of *he Society of Engineers of 1 Great Britain, in an address before * that hodv in London recently. 1 Lord Headway's plan provides for j the sinking of n concrete tower near ' the s.'mds in Trinitv bav. and from < that point to run tunnels in all directions to the cargoes that have, been drawn beneath the surface. "The problem of the Goodwin i Sands is not exactly 'wildcattimr.' I he is reported to have said, "but it i comes under the head of 'highly" speculative adventure.' It is non?x'> the less fascinating for that, and it is far more sound than many mining ventures, for the treasure is; really there." j( History bears out the statemen'j1 of 'Lord Headway that the ^treasure1] is really there. In one instance ap Spanish treasure ship. Widen with. J gold and precious .jewels, was seen 1 by fishermen to strike the sand i1 shoals. Before rescue boats could'' master the ens belwwen the shore!1 and the -hip it had been completely i swallowed by the sands. The great sandbanks lie on the; coast of Kent, and are aporoximately ; ten miles lonir, stretching from! . 1 Kamsgato to King-down. At high , tide they are completely submerged,!' while at low fide a considerable portion is from three to five fc?! "hove * ^ea level, and sufficiently firm to ' walk noon. Cricket matches are often staged on the sands by the Ramsgate sportsmen during the period of low tide. j Perhaps the most terrific catastrophe recorded there was the wreck fourteen ships during a great <torm in November. 1703. Now light ?hips, buoys and other means of pro section from the shoals surround the sunken island, but still, during heavy yales and fogs,'when the lights of :he new lightships are obliterated, new ships are added to the list of victims for the "graveyard of the seas."-?Kansas City Star.

[ RIME LAID I TO DEFICIi;W icience Can Cure Much o> The Trouble, Chicago Chief Justice Declares. | Kansas City Star I "Crime" was the subject of I ludge Harry Olson, chief justice ofl he Chicago municipal court, in hir I alk * * *. He opened up a new! 'ield of thought to many of hip I learers when he explained that a I rast majority of crime, especially 1 >rutal crimes, were committed by I >er on", who are emotionally a* we I is intellectually defective. That the proper corrective f?.i 1 :rime was in the power of the medi I :al -profession was his assertion I He illustrated his remarks with ci-1 :ations of cases that ha?l come unler his personal observations in his 15 years on the Chicago bench. He iescribed observations where persons had committed many crimes ranging from p?%tty larceny to murd.r, and where laboratory tests had piov tin the perpetrators had intellects of young children, in conjunction with an utter lack of the emotions that include sympathy, sense of right and wrong, or reasons for the commissions of the orinics. He told of men who went to their execution? without a Mgn of e.mtion. Applied psyscolouy, according to Judge Olson, is the most important method of testing crinvnaln end d? velops results that go to prove the claim that mental deficiency in certain members of tho human race is the foundation of most ciimes com mitted. "Such persons may appear normal under ordinary conditions,"' he said, "br.t when t'ie psyrh >'o -iv-al les s are applied they soon show that there is something wrong with their brains, and that it is :i caso for the medical men as much as it is for the courts." Th.'lt ? mnUHv " VI llll" < <(' i PCI I VPS wore duo to hereditary conditions was sot forth by Judge Olson, and ho warned against tho hip- influx of intellectual and emotional doficients coming into the United States from foreign countries. Ho said that the immigration tests were not "iu^firient to proporly classify each immigrant, and that as a consequence thousands were entering who were dangerous to the welfare of the public. He described the workings of the j (tThicago municipal court, which is1 lividod into three departments: Court of domestic relations, where [ill family troubles are handled; hoys' court, where youths from 17 years and on are taken, . and the morals court, where the cases ugainst girls and women are tried. Each court specializes in its particular work, and as a result is I much better equipped to handle 1 ca>?s appearing before it, said Judge Olson. In closing his remarks, Judge 01-1 sen spoke of the segregation bill now before the Illinois legislature, which is an act for the prevention of crime by the segregation of the mentally defective with crimmina! propensite^. The passage of this bill he said would enable the courts to i?et "repeaters" before they commit more serious crimes, and t.he^ rapidly reduce crimes of violence in t Chicago and other parts of Illinois. ^ r>00 bushels Weber'* Best Pure Long Stap'e Cotton Seed for sale.
