AUTO WOULDN'T STOP.

Greenwood, Miss, Sept. 6.--An acci-
dent that almost proved fatal took
place late yesterday afternoon at Val

car owned by Mrs. Fannie Arnold
refused to work and the car backed
down the steep incline at that place
and dashed into bank at the bottom.
Mrs. c. L. Mcbride and Mrs. Arnold
were both slightly injured. Neither,
however, will prove serious. Mrs. Me.
Bride was painfully cut and Mrs. Ar

CALVES RETIREMENT.

What's this the papers tell us about s
Calve says that she is too stout
TO sing the modern opera stuff
And must retire? Gee, that's tough.
Since childhood we've been wont to pay
Our hard-earned dough to hear Calve.
Our grandpa says he heard her, too,
When he was young, and now she's
through.
They say Calve has grown so fat
She can't reach UP to pin her hat.
And can't live in a modern fiat
And move around. But, what of that?
Suppose she does take lots of space,
You can not say that's disgrace.

GOOD WORDS FOR GIRLS

Your mother is your best friend.
Have nothing to do with girls
who snub their parents.
Tell the pleasantest things you
know when at meals.
Do not expect your brother to
be as dainty as a girl.
Exercise, and never try to look
as if you were delicate in health.
Introduce every new acquaintance
to your mother as soon as possible.
Don't think it necessary to get
married. There is plenty of room
for old maids, and they are often
happier than wives.
Enjoy the pleasures provided for
You by your parents to the fullest
extent. They will ike that as a
reward, better than any other.
Most fathers are inclined to
over-indulge their daughters. Make
it impossible for your father to
spoil you by fairly returning his
devotion and affection.

ARE USING ROMAN WEAPONS
Soldiers Of Today Employ Almost a
Duplicate Of Sword Used by
Caesars Legionaries.

II one OF Caesars legionaries who
fell in the qualification" of Gaul could
be walked from his long sleep and
placed in the trenches, he would find
one or two familiar things, even II
he failed to recognize the landscape.
The appalling racket, the bursting
shells, the spectacle Of men struck
down by invisible agencies of death
these would be new and awesome. But
the helmet would have a rather famil-
lar feeling on his brows, and If he
took part in a charge he would show
himself a most efficient man with the
trench knife"
For this new weapon is just the
old Roman broadsword revived and
brought down to date. The blade is a
bit shorter than that to which the
legionary was accustomed-15 inches
instead of IS. But the point and edge
are keen. the steel is good. the hilt
is plain, and the Injunction to thrust
at the face" is as sound as ever. With
this accustomed weapon in his grip
and cloak over his arm in lieu Of
shield, Caius of the Tenth legion would
be a nasty warrior to meet on the
chalk knolls of Champagne.

SHOE wEARERs MUST
"PAY THE PRICE

A side-e effect Of the PARKWAY
war that interests every man, wo-
man and child is the announcement
Of the fact that shoes must this
season advance in price
The generally reported scarcity
Of leather and increased cost Of
tanning since the war, combined
with an enormously increased de-
mand for leather, all account for
the advanced cost of footwear.
Millions of pairs of shoes fol
the European armies have been and
still are being made by American
shoe manufacturers. On the aver
age, these army shoes consume one
and one-half as much leather as the
average American mans shoe.
Knapacks, saddles, harnesses
and other material FOR the armies
at war and general increase in
equipment of the American army
and state militia account for a still
further demand on the none too
large supply of leather.
Munitions plants have called for
thousands Of feet of leather betting
and the general picking up of bust
ness has started thousands of fac
tories wheels and greatly augment
ed the call for betting.
Autos have also made great and
increasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering.
Leather is a by-product. The
supply cannot be increased at will
as crops and metals are, but is de-
pendent on the hide supply; and
cattle are not killed, primarily, for
their hides.
The latest census reports show
that the cattle population has de-
creased 20 per cent. in the last
ten years, and the population has
increased the same percentage.
Shoes, therefore, are to be more
expensive. It is said that the in
crease for the present will be about
20 per cent, but will likely be more
by next fall.

pecoratlons for Woman.

Foreign countries are most prodigal

Legion OF Honor, which has been

Of ST. Catherine and the Austrian Star

which can be accorded to women. In
no country does the decoration be-

female decorations bestow a sort OF
status equivalent TO rank in the army.

LIGHTS EFFECTS ON GERMS
While II Kills Some, u Transforms
Others Into Creatures Of
Different Species.

II sunlight destroys bacteria, II Il
also the active agent in multiplying
their species. Such. at least. is the
obvious deduction which science is
drawing from recent experiment OF
Nine. Victor Henry. and II is ono that
opens up an entirely new field to the
bacteriologists.
She had occasion recently to ex.
pose some germs of anthrax to the
rays from a mercury yapor lamp. As
she expected. the treatment proved
fatal TO most of the subject. but few
Of them survived.
The astonishing feature in the case
was that the survivors had undergone
a radical transformation They we're
no longer thin and threadlike. They
had become spherical, or nearly so,
true cocci, in fact. At the same time,
they were radically different from all
known spores
What is more, upon cultivation they
did not return to their original form,
and when injected into animals pro
duced an entirely new disease.
Nine. Henry is forced to the conclu-
sion that she has developed an entire
ly new bacterial family, and reasoning
from her experience believes that she
has hit upon the means by which such
families have multiplied. 1t is her
opinion that after long exposure to
sunlight, germ. II not destroyed. I'M
dergoes a radical change in form and
nature, thus becoming the root of an
entirely new species.

STRAIGHT TALK

The lad just starting out in this
old dump Of a world who settles in
rut and makes no effort to take
the bit in his teeth and improve his
condition, or that of others, may
not make for the progress of the
world. But always keep it lodged
in your thinkery that there is a
difference between ambition and dis
content. Ambition does things by
running rings around the old favor
ties, or tries-and discomfort is apt
to be on the hog and grumble at
fate. Most of the discontinued
persons we have ever known were
loafers. The town didn't suit them,
nor the state nor the country, and
there is no chance for poor man,
anyway, to hear them tell it. And
although they do nothing to better
their condition, they find much fault
because golden apples fail to fall in
their laps. The ambitious lad with
the glad CAB may have his peppers
on roster things, but he knows he
must work for them, and that in
cludes doing well the work in hand.
And work well done makes for
contentment, no matter what ones
views or aims for the future. Paste
this in your garnet, and sorter let
it sift through the cracks: The
Ioafer may have less excuse for dis
content than some who toll, but he
has more time for it, and, even if
easy, his condition is hopeless. 1t
is not so strange that things look so
dark to him.

To Reform Thermometer.

A sign of progress is a bill intro.
duced by a Pacific coast representa-.
tive to substitute the Centigrade for
the Fahrenheit thermometer in gov.
eminent publications. When Gabriel
Daniel Fahrenheit nearly 200 years
ago devised the scale which bears his
name 80 degrees below the freezing
point was the lowest temperature he
knew, so he called it zero. But his
graduation has been displaced in the
scientific world almost as completely
as his idea of the extreme of cold.
Scientists everywhere use the Cent?.
grade scale, and the Fahrenheit is in
popular use in English-speaking
countries only.
The Centigrade thermometer 10
graduated in simple and rational
way, the freezing point being marked
zero and the boiling point 100. The
movement for reform of the thermom-
eter ought to go hand-in-hand with the
propaganda for universal adoption Of
the metric system of weights and
measures and for uniform decimal re.
lations of coinage in all nations
