These are not isolated cases, but the
result Of very general inquiry which
[ have made for number Of years.
People very frequently remark on the
depressed impression. not only on the
workingmen Of Pittsburgh, but they also
observe 1t in the clubs.

The smoke pail causes an Increased
use Of artificial light and harmful eye
strain.
Not the least detrimental effect OF the
dark smoke strata Is the fact that they
intercept the blue and ultra-blue rays Of
the sun, which either check the GROWTH
or exterminate harmful bacilli. Fewef
diseases are found during sunshiny than
foggy or cloudy weather. The death
rate Increases during fogs.
AS for the aesthetic effects Of smoky
cities, the conclusions are depressing. Bg

smoky cities are inclined to keep doors
and windows shut. This may be aesthet-
ically commendable, but Is not hygienic.
Moreover, the great amount Of extrd
labor required to keep the houses clean
robs the women of leisure momenta
which might be used for pleasure and In
provement.
Smoke also tends to foster habits OF
personal uncleanliness. The children

come so used to SCOT and smut that "they|

Finally, says the report, nice peepls|

The gloomy days do have bearing

would appear that they foster dark

that the same weather which breeds

that the thinker hasn't energy enough to
carry out the impulses. He simply
broods.
Nevertheless the seeds have been
sown. In normal person the advent Of
a vitalizing, clear day clears the dark

the potential suicide just the courage he
needs to take his own life, the courage

LAUREL COMMISSIONERS
ARE HAVING TROUBLE.
Differences Among Them Have
Reached the Point of Open
Rupture.

Laurel, Miss, July 3.-The Daily
Argus last week published astate-
ment that there is dissention among
the city commissioners, who started
their administration year ago IN
harmony and accord. 1t is stated
that the differences have reached a
point of open rupture, and oulmI-
mated in the passage of a resolution
by which the control of the fire
department is taken out Of the hands
Of Commissioner Moore. 1t is known
that there have been differences OF
opinion between the commissioners
for sometime, and 1t is feared that
conditions here will parallel those in
Hsttiesturg during the first term Of
the commission government there,
where one of the commissioners was
relieved Of all duties except that II

MARRIED MEN
LIVE LONGER
SAYS EXPERT
NEW YORK STATE HEALTH RE-
PORT INDICATES THIS TO
Be A TRUTH.
HOW MUCH ANOTHER STORY
Those Married Required to Sleep
Regularly and Eat Sensibly
And It Tells.

New York, July 3.-Men who
marry live the longer, and that is
now demonstrated by statistics just
made public by the New York State
Department of Health. How much
longer it seems is another story.
Bachelors arr likely to die young, as
the truly good are supposed to do,
although they rejoice in their alleged
freedom from worry and care.
Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell Uni
versity, who has made the nvesti-
cations published by the sta:e, says
that it is largely because the bene-
diets are supervised that they have
a greater hold on life. If they 60 to
a sinker foundry and fill their sys-
tens with butter cakes interspersed
with chicory sludge and get indiges-
ton, maybe the supervisor general
does not give them a lecture on diet!
They are warned in tear-stained an
ger to be home promptly at 7 o'clock
for dinner and not to sit hunched up
against a table hurling in vitriol ap-
petzerS with friends from the office.
Those who are married are re-
quifei to sleep regularly, to mingle
in society and occasionally to get
their minds off business. 1t is OBJ
served, however, that although the
married woman lies longer than
does her spinster sister, she does
not reach the age Of the husbands of
their country.

and make a start with one. He
stated his object was simply to bene-
fit Pascagoula and participate in the
benefits as a business man.

Seaver said the fare problem was
one that could not be solved until
after a transportation line was start
ed an d all costs shown by actual
experience. DR.. Tabor stated the
wear of the heavy, rubber-tred
vehicle on the road was another
problem to be considered.
On motion of E. B. Martin sub
scriptions for stock company were
started. Mr. Blackwell started with
$3.50 and $3.50 was raised. The
shares are $40 each. Mr.. Blackwell
believes the plan will be a sn-,. n-,.ess

ness of the hour it was put off until

in favor of starting a resort hotel on

Pascagoula public spirit is again
aroused. 1t was stirred up Monday
night at a Court House mass meet
ing, at which S2, $50 was raised as
part of bonus for the location of a
box factory and S730 was subscribed
to the proposed capital stock of a
transportation line between here and
the paper mill, planned by j. G.
Blackwell.
w. M. Canty, president of the
Business League, called the meeting
to order and asked for nominations
for chairman and secretary. F. H.
Lewis was chosen for the former
Office and E. B. Dunten as secretary.
Amid applause Mr.. Lewis took the
chair. He made an eloquent appeal
for all to get together, regardless OF
any personal feeling, political or bus
iness rivalry. He said three propo-
sitions were to come before the meet
ing. First, he said, was the con-
struction of a resort hotel, next the
raising of a bonus of $1,000 or
e. zoo fo brinp a box factory here
and third helping J. G.. Blackwell
in starting and operating an autocar
lire on a regular schedule between
p scagoula and the new paper mill.
A lot of time was consumed by
arguments over which question
should be taken up first. T. @.

considered one at time-the hotel

E|GHT.|NCH SLIT

New York, July 3.-Women's
fashionable skirts are to be tighter
than ever around the hem with an
eight-inch slit in the front, but they
will be fuller at the top. Elaborate
draping and the easing over the hips
are expected to permit a graceful
posture.
These are the DEGREES of the
National Association of Women's
Talors after a twenty-hour continu-
Gus session. Discussion over the
skirts width occupied six hours of
the meeting. Thirty-four States
were represented at the conference,
and twenty-five Of these, led by
New York and Massachusetts,, voted
for the Scanter skirt.

first. This motion caused an argu-
ment, which ended when Mr.. Dun
ten made an eloquent address in
favor of the box factory proposition.
He said it was the most important Of
all the propositions, was feasible and
if not given immediate attention
would be lost to some other city.
McVea Young, who had been in
favor Of taking up the hotel first, in
order1to get the meeting down to
business, moved that subscriptions
be taken for the box factory PROPOSE
ton and $3.50 was subscribed in a
short time. The same committee
that had been handling the PROPOSE
ton was appointedto continue efforts
to raise the remainder of the bonus.
1t is composed of Messrs Lewis,
Clark, Herring and Canty.
This proposition, as made by Mr..
Arbuckle, of St. Louis, is to- the
effect that if the city raise at least
s. 900 as a bonus, none of which is
to be given until after the plant is in
creation, a $50, 900 factory will be
erected along the river front.
Next the transportation proposition
vas taken up. j. G. Blackwell
SAID he could get in New Orleans

PAsCAGOULA MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY, 1913
STATE OFFICERS
PROBE IS FAR OFF
Joint Committee of the Legisla-
ture Has Not Yet Mapped
Out Campaign.

Jackson, Miss, July 3.-The
joint committee of the legislature
selected at the recent extraordinary
session pursuant to the Norwood
resolution providing for a genera
probe into all state offices and de-
partments has not settled on a time
for organizing for the job intrusted
to them. The task is no light one.
The meat of that resolution is in tho
paragraph defining the duties which
are to be discharged, which is to
investigate the state officers, state
institutions and departments of the
state government" in order to de-
termine whether the books and
records are properly kept, and all
public moneys coming into their
hands fully accounted for"
While the Pentitentiary Depart
ment, through House amendment,
was expected from the provisions of
the resolution, in order that the
committee may not cross wires with
the executive probe, there will be
plenty of work in connection with
other departments and institutions
to keep the committee occupied for
many weeks.
In the matter of expense to be in.
Cured, that detail was looked after
by the insertion of a provision
authorizing the governor to borrow
as much as $1,000, repayment Of
which is pledged on the faith of the
Legislature, under the same reSolu-
ton.
The joint committee which will
conduct this probe is made up OF
Senators A. G. Anderson and w.
A. Ellis and Representatives S. j.
Owen, w. L. Evans and d. C.
Bramlette, Jr., with Senator Ander-
son as joint chairman, Mr.. Owen
vice chairman, and Mr.. Bramlette as
secretary.

Strange Wording Of Code Permits
Heavy Sentence When Not

Weapon. He Remarks.

Three small negro boys, Clinton
ard Ernest Taylor and cornelius
Walker, aged z, 9 and II years, re-
spectively, we're taken before Judge
Chas. E. Chidsey Monday morning
oil the charge Of breaking into and
robbing the store Of F. j. johnson,
whose affairs are now in Bankruptcy,
aHd stealing about SIS worth of
groceries. They were arrested Sun
day and had been in Jail all night,
having been caught in the act Of
ROBBERY. The stolen goods were
recovered.
After consulting with the Inagis-
trate Sheriff Lindinger made charge
OF petit larceny. The parents en-
tefed a plea Of guilty and Judge
Caldsey suspended sentence for
ninety days on condition that the
children be punished by the parents.
This was done in Jail in a most
thorough manner in the presence Of
the Sheriff.
The court in rend s.in- rs igids-
ment remarked: The .awa of Miss
lssippi impose a penaly of not less,
than seven years for one who breaks
into a house when not arn i
with a deadly weapon. and tie
court in its discretion may sentence
to the smallest fraction of time, one
second, one who breaks into house
armed with a deadly weapon in
which at the time there is some hu-
man being .(suoh is the language Of
the code) and not over seven years
it they break into store house.
On either horn of the dilemma these
children would have to 90 to'the
penitentiary it sent up for burglary
and if bound over would have 10 re-
main confined in Jail for many
months waiting for the court to meet,
which in the case of children rs
young as these would be nothing
less than crime. Therefore the
court will take upon itself the author
ity of sentencing these infants to be
whipped by their parents and taken
home"
