JOHN LEMMONS
 IS RELEASED

John Lemmons, who was arrested several days ago on charge of neg lecting his family, was yesterday 0r- dered released by Magistrate J. A. Frazier because Mrs. Lemmons refus- ed to appear against him. Although Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Creed Caldwell filed the information against Lemmons at the instance of Humane Officer A. L. Cason, who said that Lemmons' wife demanded his arrest. Afterwards Deputy Prosecuting Attor- ney Caldwell manifested an interest in the case and urged the release of Lemmons, declaring that to send him to the county farm would be cruelty at this season of the year. Lemmons' wife wrote note to Magistrate Fraz- fer in which she declared that her husband should be arrested and urg- ed that he be held for non support Magistrate Frazier says that he acted upon the woman's advice and that il she did not care to prosecute Lem mons he saw no other course but tc release him.

PETITION FILED
 FOR NEW DISTRICT
Majority Petition Presented for Form. ati0n of Improvement District No.
 5, Which Will Include 12 Miles.

Attorney Irving Reinberger yester-
 day filed a petition ill the Jefferson
 county court, before County Judge
 James Gould, in which the property
 owners along the Sulphur Springs and
 Camden roads, for distance of twelve miles, pray for the formation of Road Improvement District No. 3, for the purpose of graveling the two roads and improving them generally.
 The petition will probably be dispos- ed of by Judge Gould as soon as he returns from a business trip to Ham, burg. It is most likely that he will grant the prayers of the petitioners and create the district, as large majoriy of the property owners, in value, in the proposed district, have signed the petition. The property owners along the Sulphur Springs and Camden roads started the move ment to organize the district few weeks ago and it met with general approval by practically all of them. As soon as it became known that the residents of that part of the county were planning gravel roads the property owners on the Camden road, which adjoins the Sulphur Springs road added four miles to the original district and now property owners as far as Double Wells, Ark, are clam oring to get into the district and have the road extended several miles fur ther. The new gravel road will be of great value to the truck farmers and others, who live in the southwestern part of the county and especially pop ular will it become with local resi- dents, whose families are living at Sulphur Springs during the summer.

SID HOUPT IS
 NEW SHERIFF Plucky Deputy Named By Governor to Succeed His Brother, Jake Houpt
FOR UNEXPIRED TERM
Will Then Be Placed on Ticket as
 Party Candidate for Ensuing
 Two Years.

Little Rock. Ark, Aug. 22.-Gover- nor Donaghey this afternoon named Sid Houpt of Hot Springs to succeed his brother, the late Jake Houpt, as sheriff of Garland county. Sheriff Houpt was fatally wounded in a street battle with the Chitwoods last We'd nesday at Hot Springs and died Sat urday night.
 His appointment today was the re- suit of a strong petition by commit tee of prominent Hot Springs citi zens, including leading members of both wings of the Democratic party in that county, indicating to the gov ernor that the desire was practically unanimous that young Houpt should be named to succeed to the office va cated by his brothers tragic death The governor was further influenced by the plucky fight put up by Sid Houpt after his brother had been shot down, when the deputy officer, after oSAAoAAS eS DuiiSI tul ousoH dCol6C SAlt- wood, followed hard on the trail of Oscar ChitWood in an effort to effect his capture. This morning Governor Donaghey was waited upon by the following committee of Hot Springs citizens, who urged the appointment of Sid Houpt as sheriff:
 1,h Gi1i0yoc T. Gotham, Senator Hamp Williams, Representatives George P. Whiting ton, Dr. J. w. McLendon, Dr. J. P. Randolph and w. J. Rodgers. They were informed that the request would be compiled with, and this afternoon returned to Hot Springs with the com mission for the new sheriff.
 Good Till General Election. The appointment is good for the unexpired term of Sheriff Jake Houpt, or until the general election Septem- Der 12. It was represented to Cover nor Donaghey that special election would probably be unnecessary as a VIII UC pldCcu OA Cuc ClC N ct through the customary form of petition, it being too late for a prim- ary, and will be voted on and elect ed at the September election.
 It is understood that this means that, Sid Houpt will be placed on the ticket and will thus be regularly elected to succeed his brother for the two years ensuing. Jake Houpt was the regular nominee for sheriff in the ! county and would have been elected in September to succeed himself.
 From Hot Springs today it was stated that Sid Houpt will unquestion- ably be the name placed on the tick ct in that county for sheriff, and that sentiment is practically unanimously in favor of this course.

SAYS EGGS ARE TOO SMALL
DR.. Wiley Declares Hens Are Being
Trained to Produce Little
Eggs.

Eggs laid by the great American
hen are too small, according to DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the bureau
of chemistry, department Of agricul-
ture. The Doctors theory is that
hen has just so much reproducing
capacity, taken in bulk. and that the
aim of breeders is to increase the
number of eggs by reducing their
size.
DR.. Wiley expounded his views to
the District of Columbia commission
ers at the public food hearing. The
agricultural chemist began his ad-
dress by declaring that bread should
be sold by weight and not by the loaf.
He would also have law prohibiting
a baker from making loaf contain
ing more than 35 per cent. moisture
and would regulate the handling Of
bread in its delivery from bakery to
grocer.
"In an egg we get less and less
weight Of nutriment, so that the hen
will be able to lay more eggs to be
sold at a rate per dozen," said DR..
Wiley.
so also with bread. We should
have a law that makes the bakers sell
loaves by the pound. We should pay
less for light loaves than we do for
heavy loaves. 1t is the same way
with other foods. When / pay 80
cents for box of candy, called
pound, do not want to pay two cents
for the box. 1t is the same way with
packages of breakfast food.
ut should extend to other forms of
food - this anti-package business.
People should know, for instance, how
much olive oil they are getting, or
how much potato chips, or crackers.
The poor man pays a nickel for a
glass Of beer. How much beer does
he get-and how much suds? If he
pays five cents for beer he ought to
get beer and not suds."
DR.. George M. Kober followed DR..
Wiley, arguing for a pure food regu-
lation limiting the moisture in bread
to 35 per cent. He said that moisture
above that quantity was quite likely
to form fungi and other unpleasant
growtks on bread.

CALLS IGlL A PEST HOLE
Warden Of Washington 5astile Com
pares Il With the "slaek Hole
Of Calcutta"

The jail Of the District Of Columbia
was compared to the BLACK hole Of
Calcutta" by Warden Thomas Mckee
before the Brotherhood Of the First
Congregational church in Washington.
The warden said the Jail was a men
ace to public health and safety and q
disgrace to the District government.
There are cells in the Jail for As
women, the warden said but 125 have
to be packed therein like cattle in a
car. Into cells made for the accom-
modation Of $40 men. 6S5 men, black
and white. are crowded.
The warden thinks a prison farm
would be far preferable to a Jail in
the District He considered that such
farm would earn a profit for the
government and save the 100000 or
more that has to be paid annually for
the maintenance of the Jail and the
prisoners.
The warden is impressed that the
whole system of penal institutions in
the District needs reformation and IN
stead Of sending young men and wom-
en- to Jail 1t would be more humane
for the future citizenship to send them
to an institution conducted along the
lines of the National Training School
for Boys, where they could be taught
trades OF usefulness.

the children. Don't wait until the
weaklings commit a crime until you
send them to a reform school. Let
the government, national, state, coun-
ty and municipal. look after those
weak physically, mentally and moral
ly, take them in hand and give them
training, educationally, manually
and morally, that will make them
good and useful citizens and eliminate
the rising generation from the possi-
BILE classes of criminals.
Instead of building jails and work
houses, establish a big farm, where
criminals can be given work and
made to support themselves Give
me the prisoners that come annually
to the Jail and workhouse on 500
acre farm and I'll make them sell
supporting and turn over to the gov
ernment annually large profit, in
stead Of having to pay out 100000 or
more for their maintenance. This
would be more humane and certainly
more economical"

Rr ELEANOR LEXINGTON

The name of Carhart is Of Saxon
and Danish origin. The first syllable
is from one of the two Anglo-Saxon
words-"oarr," a rock, or "caer," a
town. The last syllable is either from
the Anglo-Saxon heorte, which later
becomes herta, and then heart, or
from the Anglo-Saxon heort, Danish
hert, and English hart, meaning a
stag The name was first Carhurta,
or Carharta, and is first mentioned
in 1920 in the records of the College
of Heralds in England. Again, in
1866, there is an official record Of the
family; every 80 years in those days
a herald was sent throughout the
length and breadth Of the land to see

right to do so. His report says: The

Old Device Modernlzed.

In the eighteenth century favorite
miniature worn by the sentimental
was one upon which an eye was paint
ed. Beloved eyes" the miniatures
were called, and very beautiful they
were with their expression of pathos,
roguish mischievousness, or deep love,
according to the emotion portrayed
by the artist.
Evidently inspired by this idea, de-
signer Of buttons has issued set
painted with eyes for tea gown. The
buttons are long and narrow and the
painting on them is very human
touch. There is wide difference,
however, between the miniature Of
old times and the button of modern
ones. and all the praise the ornament
deserves goes to the old-time minia-
ture.

to be spelled Carehart, and then Car
hart, or Carhartt, as 1t is still some
times found. In France there is a Ca
hart family, which traces its origin
back to England in 164S.
The ancestor of the American fam.
lily, Thomas, was born in England
about 1850, the son of Anthony Car.
hart, County Cornwall, Gentleman.
He arrived at New York on the 25th
of August, 1888. lie settled in Staten
island and went to farming. In 1891
a marriage license was granted to
Thomas Carhart of Staten island,
Gentleman, and Mary Lord" of Cam
bridge, Mass. Thomas prospered, and
in 1895 moved with his family to
Woodbridge, N j., where he shortly
died He was called well-to-do; but
from the following items mentioned
in the inventory of his estate it would
seem that a good many of his posses
sions were well-worn He had "a
small round table ould," vsDed at six
shillings; six pewter plates and 12
rould ones," an "ould Wagon" and
"a case of drawers ould and decayed"
Thomas left three sons, Robert, viii
liam and John, and they were brought
up under the care of Thomas Warne,
their stepfather, who was so fond of
them that he gave them 600 acres Of
land in Mlddlesex county when they
became of age. Two of them, Robert
and William, stayed in New Jersey
and founded families there. Robert
married a German lady and one Of
his children, who married Wlllimpia
Coleman in 1854, left heirs. This son
was Cornelius, who served in the rev.

Regiment Of Hunterden county. Rob-

captain of the Second Regiment, and
Richard private, who we're both killed
