Washington, Feb. S.-In substance
tentative communication from Ger
many, designed TO settle the Lusi-
tania case, is acceptable to the United
States. High administration officials
tonight consider that the government
in prevailing on Germany to make
concessions and agreements set forth
in the document has accomplished
recognition of the nigh principles for
which it has contended in connection
With submarine warfare.
While the substance of the propos-
ed communication admittedly is salts
factory. minor changes to clarity the
wording and in connection with the
form when the formal document shall
take were suggested today to Count
Won Bernstorf, the German ambassa-
dor, by Secretary Lansing. The de-
sires of the United States in this con-
nection were made known to the am
bassador after President Wilson had
discussed the subject with his cabinet.
Count Won Bernstorff Immediately in
formed the secretary that he saw no
reasons why the changes could not
be made, but explained that as a pre-
caution he would submit the entire
matter to his government for final ap-
proval. He did so in dispatch sent
to Berlin tonight. and within about six
days the resulting formal communica-
lion is expected.

Don't Neglect to Paint.
It is apparent to even the casual
observer that many property owners
let their rented houses. or houses for
rent, go too long without painting.
This neglect makes the houses look
unsightly but also hastens the day OF
decay. A little paint is good invest
ment from every viewpoint. 1t pre-
serves the wood and 1t keeps the
houses rented. The writer visited an
Illinois town last spring and after q
careful observation found not single
house which was not well and fairly
recently painted. There had Just been
a clean up and paint up campaign.
The impression left was one OF q
thriving town where man would like
to live and bring up family. The
yards were well kept, with lawns.
flower beds and shrubbery. and each
householder seemed to vie with his
neighbor in making his place look at

New SteriIizina Agent.

German scientists have found that
g1ycerin is q valuable sterilizing
agent. Various deadly germs, when
heated in it to temperature Of 248
degrees Fahrenheit, were completely
killed in one minute. This process Is
particularly valuable for sterilizing
surgical instruments. for the reason
that the metal Is not attacked nor Is
the temper affected. Rubber tubes
can be sterilized in 1t, and. instead OF
being injured, the elasticity OF those
which have become brittle Is restored
by the treatment.

Creates Highway Commission.

Creates Highway Commission.
The house of representatives, after
"a debate which continued throughout
some three hours, has passed the
Hewitt bill providing for state high
way commission and providing other
wise for putting Mississippi in line for
participation in the benefits Of any ma
tional highway legislation that may
pass, the operations Of which are con-
tingent on state aid and cooperation.
The bill was before the house some
three weeks ago. At that time in Or
der to save it from the defeat which
seemed Imminent, it was recomm1tted.
The bill was strongly advocated by
Gov Bilbo in his inaugural message
and in a supplemental message later,
and again when the measure was up
the second time in his address to the
house the governor came out strongly
for it.
This time the measure had fairer
sailing in the lower body and passed
by big majority, after several
amendments we're inserted, among
them one by Mr.. Gore that If any bond
issue was contemplated under the
measure such bond issue must first
be ratified by the people.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of three men,
one from each supreme court district,
to compose the commission who, with
an engineer, will have supervision OF
highway construction in the state.
