THE TORRENS SYSTEM.

The Louisiana Legislature, at its
last session. again postponed ac-
ton on the Torrens law. althougl
the subject has been under con
sideration longer in Louisiana
than probably in any state in the
Union. and is more needed and
more popularity demanded here
Years ago this paper called atten-
ton to the necessity Of some leg
islation looking to the simplifica-
ton Of the procedures by which
titles to property are passed; and
commission was appointed to
look into the matter. to examine
the Torrens system Of transfers in
the various forms and moditica-
tons prevailing in Europe and
this country. and to report as to
it's ACCESSIBILITY and practically IN
Louisiana. The report was iuv-
orablc; it showed nothing incom-
patible between the Torrens sys-
tenn and our laws-indecd. that
system is widespread in Europe,
where the Code Napoleon is prac-
tically universal. But. although
the report was favorable and
proved the advantages, benefits
and economies Of adopting this
plan Of land registration and
transfers, it has been impossible
to secure this needed legislation.
Louisiana has hung back while
other states have pressed forward,
taken advantage Of the opportun-
tiles offered to simplify the trans.
fer Of property. to expedite it and,
ut the same time, save money.
In the meanwhile, the progress
in the Torrens direction
has been steady and constant and
has met with almost universal ap.
proval. During the last nine
at the very time when
Louisiana was hesitating and balk-
ng. three states adopted the
rorrens registration plan-Vir-
yinia. South Carolina and Ne |
,raska. In the great state Of New !
FORK where. as in Louisiana. there
las been a division Of sentiment
'ver the question, the primary
principles Of the system have
inally been accepted. and in that
tate the complications, delay and
Expense resulting from the old
Ian Of examining titles have
therefore, been abolished.
In half a dozen other states the
'ovement has made great prog
ess and the Torrens law seems
roba bic in the next few wears.

WHY YOU LATHER BEFORE

Why does lathering the fac

answers to this question from

Of the scientific magazines

coat Of lathcr to a long beard the
lathcr tends to hold the hair ut

the length Of the beard. but the
second time over when the call
is for a close shave. short, rapid
strokes are made, several times
repeated. When the lather is Oft
the barber will occasionally wet
his fingers. because the face gets
too dry. Indeed, there is nothing
to maintain the perpendicularity
Of the beard. It bends over and
the barber rapidly whacks away

bushes. The following is the cx-
PLANTATION Of another writer. who
says that lathering is round
about way Of lubricating the face
with water.
"Lathcring has the effect,
when properly done, Of reducing
the bulk of the SOAP and increas-
ing the number Of bubbles where

ton to the skin by the surface

circumstances il is hut a short
stem to applying the water direct

THE SPOILS OF WAR.

In casting mp the account of
the first two years Of the war in
Europe. the Gcrmauic allies have
g " reason to he proud Of the
result. SO far as figures go every
advantage lives with them. They
ar" able to show presumably
their figures are correct that
they have captured 2.G59. 900 pris-
oncrs Of war. the great proportion
OF which have come from Russia.
Some half million are French and
10000 are British. The Tcutonic
allies also hold 431 600 square
kllometers Of foreign soil. All Of
Belgium. save 300 square miles,
is governed as a German province !:
1000 square miles Of French ter
rltorv are held and all Of Poland,
together with considerable SEQ
tion Of Western Russia are IN
German hands. II will thus he
seen that Germany and her allies,
Austria and Bulgaria have n tire
mcndous lead over their focman
ut the end Of tho first two years.
With the single exception Of the
invasion Of East Prussia by the
Russians in the early stages Of
the war. no foe has yet set foot
on German soil. II is true that
the French hold small corner Of
Alsace and Lorraine in az much
M these provinces were wrcstlcd
from France less than forty years
ago. it can hardly be considered
that Germany has been invaded.
Opposed to this. the Germans
admit that the allies have cap
turcd 1,695.OW men. the greater
number Of which have been AUS
TRANS. How many Germans re-
main prisoners in the hands Of
the enemy is not stated. Nor have
any vast number Of Turks been
captured. II has been estimated
that perhaps half a million Ger
mans are prisoners in the hands
Of the enemy. Taking Germanys
own figures for it. therefore. that .
country IL not In a very good po-
sition TO invite rcprisals from the !
English. There are more German
prisoners in England at the pres.
emit time than there are English

WOULD NOT SHRINK

Tacoma. Wash, Aug. 49,
Charles r. Hughes told an audi

nominee said. 81 do not think
in making that real that we en-
counter the danger Of war. 1
would not shrink from it if we

Mr.. Hughes confined his re.
marks almost wholly to what he
termed the need for protective
tariff. -.

Mr.. Hughes reviewed Democra-

relating to the tariff.
Our opponents said they would

said. Behold the result"
Mr.. Hughes referred to a state
