TO VOTERS OF ROAD DlSIRlC1
NO. q OF The PARISH OF NAT.
ChJTOCHES,
Gentlemen
have been asked, to explain to the
voters of road district No. u, the or
dinance adopted by the Supervisors Of
Road District No. % of the Parish.
The part of the ordinance, about which
information is asked is that the or
dinance adopted, does not fix the num-
Der of mills, to be annually assessed
and collected to pay off the debt and
interest. The provision simply being
that the same shall not exceed ten
mills on the dollar.
The ordinance is worded exactly
right. You want to bear in mind that
the debt, and interest must be paid off
in fifteen years. Not knowing what
the assessment each year will be in the
road district, it is impossible in adj
vance to say just how many mills must
be assessed ana collected to meet the
annual payment of the bond falling due
-. u ;,.ea,n-.s.---4Aa--
mist be paid each year.
If the assessment goes up, the num-
Der of mills would be less, if the as
sessment of property goes down the
number of mills must be increased for
that year, to the end that the number
of mills, based on the assessment for
that year. must be fixed at the number
required to meet the payment and no
more. The money from the e assess
ments, can only be sued for the pay
ment of the bonds maturing and the
interest, and for no other purpose. If
you fix an iron clad number of mills by
the vote, the number fixed might pro-
duce more than was needed, and in the
other case might not produce enough,
this is the reason for not putting in the
number of mills. This same plan was
used in the jefferson Highway propo-
sition, and in fact in all other bond is
sues under the law. The bonds, fix
the amount of the debt, the only other
thing is the interest, and that is also
fixed in the face of the bond.

Going Down! Says
= Women's Skirts to
Reach Shoetops

Chicago, Nov 24.-Radical changes
in womens garments, effective in the
spring, were promised in an an
nouncement last night by Alexander
Weisz, president Of the Designers
Association of Women Clothes, the
biennial convention of which begins
here December 6.
The skirts of suits and dresses no
longer will permit view of several
inches of hosiery, he asserted, and
will reach the shoe tops. He added
that the straight lined garments will
supplant the faring skirt. ~,
The spring models, it was an
nounced, will cost from Is to 20 per
cent more, scarcity of dye stuff, the
high price o. yarn, and the fact that
straight line models will necessitate
the use of just as much cloth as the
faring styles, we're given as reasons.

By GARRETT P. SERVISS.

Like nearly all subjects of inter-
national law the three mile limit is
what mathematician call IAN indie
pendent variable" i. e., a quantity to
which an arbitrary value may be as
signed. This value may be the re-
suit OF convention, or agreement,
and is liable to be changed in the
same manner.
The idea of such limit seems to
have crystailized at the beginning of
the eighteenth century, when the
Dutch jurist Bynkershock formulated
the principle that nations jurisdic-
ton over adjacent sea waters should
extend as far as its cannon could give
protection, and this distance after
ward came to be widely fixed at
three miles from the shore, although
all the nations did not agree upon it,
Germany always insisting that the
distance should be variable according
to the increasing range of cannon,
while Norway demanded four miles,
and Spain six.
1t is easy to see that bays and in
dentations of the coast line must give
rise to notifications in the shape of
the line marking the limit. The pro-
vision about headlands ten miles
apart, mentioned above, indicates how
this difficulty has been dealt with. In
1894 the International Law associa-
ton adopted the principle that terri
torial waters should extend six sea
miles from low water mark along the
whole extent of seacoast belonging
to nation, and that "for bays, terri
torial waters follow the trend of the
coast except that it is measured from
q straight line drawn across the bay
from the two points nearest the sea
where the opening Of the bay is
twelve marine miles in width, unless
a greater width shall have become
recognized by immemorial usage"
This is shining example of the
ineptness of much legal phraseology,
furnishing grist for law mills. The
Hague convention on the rights and
duties of neutrals, in 1907, did not
undertake to define the seward limit
of distance for territorial waters, but
confirmed the existing practice"
which, if an actual and fragrant case
OF violation should arise, would un-
doubleday let loose tremendous up
roar in the windy cave of interna-
tional law.
1t may be worth while to try to
illustrate by geometrical diagrams
what the legal mind seems to be
driving at in this matter. In the case
Of a straight shore-line, or one fol-
lowing a broad, regular curve, there
would be no difficulty in locating the
three-mile limit. But take the case of
the lower bay of New York. A sub
marine, or torpedo boat, could Turk
between Rockaway Point and Sandy
Hook, or between the Hook and
Swinburne Island, and have room to
maneuver, and to sink ships, without

is illustrated by Fig ;, where chord

there its position would be more than
three miles from all points on the

Of the chord.
This last case is predicated upon
the superstition that the distance be-
tween the headlands does not exceed
ten or twelve miles. But in practise,
and under the pressure Of local cir
cumstances, it is probable that in
some cases the waters within much
wider opening would be protected.

Clears Complexion

Don't worry about blotches or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
clean complexion by using little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for Csc, or
extra large bottle at $1.00. 5.-
Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, blotches, eczema
and ringworm and makes the skin clear
and healthy. Zemo is clean, penetrat-
ing, antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trihe for each
application 1t is always dependable.

A far more serious problem con-
