UMN TO ADOPT BABY

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 28.-The want
ad columns of the Spokesman Review
were employed recently to adopt a
baby. Mr.. and Mrs. August Reimer,
1901 f. Mission avenue, Spokane, ap-
peared in superior court and adopted
3-day-old baby, the child of Benja-
min II. and Elsie w. Brown, who ad-
vertised in the want ad columns that
they wanted to give their child away.
81 have never seen the baby's mother
or father-it was left with a midwife
but it is at our house now," said
Mrs. Reimer in court. Eve saw the
advertisement and came and got it
the same day. We want to adopt it
and bring it up as our child" No ex-
planation was offered by anybody why
the baby's parents wanted to dispose
of it. They did not appear in court,
but merely signed document con-
senting to the adoption and agreeing
that the child might take the name of
its foster parents.

nRIrG CLERKS MUST
BE REGISTERED
Attorney Generals Opinion is that
all Clerks in Drug Stores Must
Be Registered to Legally
Compound Prescriptions

drug clerk must be registered
nbarmacist to compound prescriptions,
in the opinion of Atty. Gen. Moose.
In a letter to Deputy Prosecuting
ATTY A. G. Flowers of Fayetteville
he says;
"You call my attention to Section
1888 of Kirby's Digest, which forbids
any person not a registered pharma-
cist to compound prescriptions. You
state that in certain town in your
county there is drug store owned
and operated by a practicing physi-
sian; that he keeps a drug clerk who
thus dispenses medicines, not being a
licensed pharmacist, is liable to the
penalties prescribed in the statute
above referred to. The physician who
owns the drug store may furnish med
icine and fill prescriptions but his
clerk cannot lawfully do so unless
he is registered as a pharmacist"

JUDGE TRIEBER WILL
RENDER PECULIAR OPINION
Can a Husband Sue Another Man for
the Alienation of His Wife's Af-
tectiOns Subsequent to Sep
aratiOn of the Couple

Next Monday Judge Trieber of the
U. 5. District Court will pass on the
question of whether a husband may
sue another man for the alienation
OF his wife's affections subsequent to
the separation of the couple. This is
the question that was finally evolved
out of the 100000 alienation suit
brought by Frank B. Withers, a
wealthy real estate agent of Memphis
against j. H. Pryor sr., president of
the Ashley County Bank at Ham,
burg. The court has ruled that there
is nothing in the evidence to show
there had been any alienation prior
to the separation of Mr.. and Mrs.
Withers, in June, 1918. The affec-
tionate correspondence that passed be-
tween Mrs. Withers and Mr.. Pryor.
which was introduced in court, was
written in July and August, after
the separation, when Mrs. Withers
was living with her parents in Little
Rock. Judge Trieber said it was the
ouly case of the kind he had ever been
called on to hear, and he hoped it
would be the last; he thought the
place for such cases was in the police
court.

BERLIN's CIVIC SYSTEMS.
Professor Asserts German Capital Far
Outstrips American Cities,

Professor Lingelbach Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania in a lecture de-
livered recently said hat Berlin does
not intrust the management of munic-
ipal affairs to the whole population.
The government of the city is carried
on by business men through the city
council of IA deputies, which is held
responsible. 1t appoints a mayor for
twelve years and an administrative
body Of thirty-four, eighteen of whom
the benefit of their technical knowl-
edge and experience.
"Berlin's housekeeping is remarka-
bic, as seen in the immaculate parks
and streets, public squares and civic
centers," Professor L%ingelbach went
on to say. The noiseless and efficient
collection of garbage, ashes and paper
is made by night. The streets are
cleaned, the cutters disinfected and
the city made fresh and tidy for the
days work. The supervision over the
food supply is real and effective. The
Prussian policeman takes his business
seriously.
"The successful conduct of business
affairs requires centralized responsible
ity in the hands of experts. This our
American plan, with it's checks and
balances and subservience to a state
charter, makes impossible, and it is,
therefore, unreasonable to expect our
nitinc fo orr into rpricinnJ ootiy-ifoc 70
the extent done by the German. We
must keep in mind two f~acts-frst,
that in American cities responsibility
is not conferred in the council, as in
Berlin, and. second, that every voter
has an equal voice in the direction Of
city affairs.
Germany has got entirely away
from the concept of the state, so prev
alent in the first half Of the nineteenth
century, that government existed only
to protect life and property, impose
military services and levy taxes. In
stead there is everywhere a clear rec
ognition of the rights and claims of SO
ciety as q whole. of the social con
sciousness that has completely super
seeded i~ndividualism and of the fact
that many of the services once regard
ed as Independent are really of neces-
sity collective in their interests and
therefore must be controlled by the So
cial group. Business rather than poll
tics prevails in the city management.
social duties and social rights take
precedence over individual rights. In
deed, social service is the conspicuous
characteristic"

BUY FORD RUNABOUTS
Boston Municipal Officers Furnished With
Equipment of Ford Automobiles.

Detroit. Mich, June 22nd Ford I'M
abouts Will b- purchased for all employees
of the city of Boston who are provided
with cars in the future, according to a
pronunciamento issued recently by
Mayor Curley of that city. 81 have de-
cided to make the Ford runabout the
official car under my administration
the mayor declared. ut doesn't cost so
much to buy and can be operated twen-
tY miles on a gallon of gasoline. By
discarding the heavy cars now in use
and putting in an equipment of Fords,
the city will save several thousands of
dollars without impairing in any way its
automobile service. The old method of
paying a fancy price for a city automo-
bile then having an outlay of $4,000 for
repairs and finally selling the machine
for $40 at public a%urtion doesn't make
for economy" The mayor referred to an
experience the city had with one big
machine.
At present the city of Boston owns
about seventy-ive automobiles ranging
in price from $500 down to 81 800; these
will be replaced with Fords as soon as
the change can be made Mayor
Curley is bound to stamp out Joy riding
by employees. A short time ago he open
ed a municipal garage where all the
city's automobiles must be placed at
night and from which they cannot be
taken after darkness falls without a
written permit. Boston is following the
example of Kansas City, which a short
time ago sold eleven heavy cars at public
auction and replaced them with an
equipment of Fords. The Ford costs so
little to buy and operate as compared
with other cars, though it furnishes
equally as good service. that there is
hardly d city of any size in North Amer
lea that Aoes not have its equipment of
Fords.

the hazard of sickness to its PEG

IS almost incOnceivable that any
citizen or group OF citizens would
sanction plans or projects that.
if carried out to their full eX-
tent, would prove detrimental to
public health or welfare. Ger
tainly none such would with

their approval to lines of COM
