touch the hardest heart, but it is
 wrong to call him victim of society
 He was victim of his own incompe-
 tence, Society is not to blame for
 men who are given opportunities and fail. It is such spacious reasoning which fires the long-haired anarchist to destroy property someone else has created and being too lazy to work himself, he poses as "victim of so- ciety." Growth of Cities
 I'm Seven Years
 6HHE census bureaus estimate of 1 U the population of continental United States at the close of the year 1916 was 102, 100000, and these large figures would doubtless come close to an actual enumeration were such made. With the bureaus tabulated es- inmates for cities the case is differ ent. Local conditions affect results | in the growth of municipalities, and even commonwealths, which do not have to be reckoned with in the coun- try at large
 The estimated population of cities is often no better than "guess work" still, the latest statistics, based on government bulletins and local claims are interesting. New York was count ed in 1913 and it's population was then 5,670,167; but with most of the other important cities "approximates" only are available.
 In 1910 Texas contained no city of the 100000 class. San Antonio was the largest, with a population of 96,- 900; but the Lone Star state now has four cities well above the 100000 mark-Houston 148,000, San Antonio 140,0O0, Dallas 135,000 and Fort Worth 10000. In 1910 Tennessee had two cities with upwards of 100,- Memphis and Nashville-and it claims only two now of over 1000. Memphis is set down at 150,000 and Nashville at 139,0o0.
 Birmingham was the only city in Alabama with population of more than 100000 when the last census was taken and it remains the only one in that class.
 The World Almanac estimates it at 198,990 (directory basis.) Atlanta, with an estimated population of 200,- 900, is the only city in Georgia that has crossed the 100000 line, although Savannah is not far from that mark. Richmond's population is estimated at 160,000. New Orleans, according to the World Almanac, has 100000.
 In the census of 1920 many of the estimates will be found exaggerated but it is safe to assume that Birming- ham will have 100000 and more.

Music I'm Schools And The Colleges

0G1HE lawmakers and educators of A Kansas are in wrangle over the question of music as a part of the state university's cultural system. The commission appointed to consider the subject reported that it was "dif- ficult to understand the great impor- tance of music" Two of the commits sioners referred to music as "use- less department.
 Prosaic Kansas! The great corn state boasts of it's progressive spirit. yet when it comes to education in the broad sense it is far behind the states of the east and south. In institutions of "higher learning" in New England and New York music is not only ap- preciated but 1t takes close rank with all the studies required for diplomas. And the south is fast getting into line.
 In the public schools of all large cities, north, south, east and west, music is we'll to the front, while in the great colleges and universities large sums of money are expended in establishing departments of music. Yale is now erecting music school building at cost of $20O, ,000. Har- ward has one of the oldest schools of music in this country; and now Princeton, through the benefaction of H. c. Prick, is to have a richly en- dowed department of musical art. l Kansas or any other state that un- derrates music as one of the intel lectual professions is retrograding. The day of the plodding teacher or statesman or of the Philistine in edu- cation has passed.

RUBBER INDUSTRY
 MAY BE ADDED ID
 ARIZONA ASSETS

From satisfactory results obtained from the cultivation of rubber trees in Southern Arizona. the rubber in- dustry promises to be one of the big assets of this part of the country within a short time, according to J. J. Bowen, of the Bisbee Auto Com pany, who, with E. A. Tovrea, re- turned to Bisbee yesterday after an auto trip to Nogales and back
 The two men visited the big rubber plantation on the Nogales road, % miles from Tucson, which is being op- erated by an English syndicate MT Bowen found that 500 acres have al ready been planted with rubber trees and that preparations are under way at the plantation 10 increase the acre age to 5000. The rubber trees are raised in nurseries at the ranch and then transplanted. The richness of the soil and low altitude of the Santa Cruz river valley, said MT Bowen last night, are proving excellent so far for the cultivation of the rubber trees, and the men in charge of the eXperi- ment are confident that it will turn out huge success. There are now about 15 big buildings on the planta- tion and more will be built as the in. dustry expands.

The fire department was called out twice last night on account of short circuits of wires. The first run was made to Temby avenue about GAS o'clock. The insulation of a light wire had been rubbed of by Tapping against a post, and the wire was sput- tering and enjoying itself to the ut most. A similar incident occurred at $50 o'clock, when a barbed wire was driven against the tin roof of a house damage in either case. The new fire apparatus made quick response to both alarms.

Display of Latest
 Summer Fashions
 Held At City.Hall
Members of Police Depart ment, And The Judge, Also, Put Jimmie Allison's Poly
 chromatic Necktie to Shame

The biggest and best style show
 of the year was presented at the
 city hall yesterday afternoon by members of the police department
 The first fashion display was giv- en when City Marshal Jimmie Allison walked into city court wearing poiychromatic piece of goods around his neck which he modestly claimed was a necktie. Investigation revealed that Jimmie had won the alleged tie at a recent bridge party and mad worn it on a dare. Hardly had the excite ment created by the marshal died down than Officer Bob Shelton. better known as 'HawkShaw Slim sauntered into the room with stunning summer suit of dashing cut, that set off to perfection the graceful and slender lines of his figure.
 The next offering was a pair of pink and purple silk socks, dis played by Harness Cop Tom Mooney. By this time Fire Chief Barney Norton and his smoke eaters, who made up the audience for the fashion show, were con- vinced that the summer scenery worn by the officers was a part of some kind of a joke. but this was vigorously denied. In walked Officer Leon Rice, wearing a beau tifully designed lavender shirt, the pattern Of which looked like the interior decoration of a tea room. Chief Norton was frantic.
 Just wait til the judge comes." he shouted, Hell make you fel- lows take off those duds or fine you for contempt of court"
 Barney was wrong. Judge Thomas stepped briskly in, and, set at a rakish angle on his head was a bright green golf cap with yellow stripes. Without noticing the other models" and their artistic styles, he carefully hung the noisy head-gear on the wall and called court to order. But the firemen had already tainted

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 DEFINES ALIEN ENEMY
Alien Enemy Is Any Citizen of a Country Which Is At War With The United States.

Attorney-General Wiley E. Jones has officially designated what an "alien enemy" is. He states that an alien enemy is any citizen of coun- try at war with the United States no matter whether the "alien enemy IS personally hostile or not.
 A telegram to the attorney-general brought out the question which MT Jones answered as follows:
 "A citizen or subject of a hostile country is an alien enemy in law. A country at war against the United States is a hostile country and its subjects. no matter where residing, are deemed in law alien enemies As you propound no legal question as l understand it, but only one of proprl- ety. deem it unnecessary to make suggestions at this time.

Lotions and 0intments
Cannot Cure Them

Eczema. letter. scaly irrita-
tons, pimples, blotches, red
spots and other designations
of the skin are commonly
called Skin diseases" because
these disorders manifest them
selves on the outer skin. In
reality, however, they are not
skin diseases, but are impuri-
ties in the blood. which in their
effort to get out Of the system
naturally appear at the weak
est point.
The fiery itching and burn
ing Of the skin caused by these
irritatiOns sometimes becomes
almost unbearablc. 1t is at all
times a source of great discom-
fort, and the sufferer will
gladly try almost anything for
relief. a great majority of
those afflicted. however, make
the mistake of resorting to
local applications such as ONT
mentS, lotions. SalveS, soaps,
washes. etc. They do not real
ize that these local applica-
tons cannot possibly reach the
source Of the trouble, and no
permanent cure can be eX-
pected from any disorder UNI
less treated at its source.
You can use ointments iby
the pound and lotions by the
gallon and make absolutely no
real progress toward getting
rid Of these diseases, for such
treatment is only palliative
and not curative. No one has
yet been cured Of similar afflic-
tons until they realized that
the disease was in the blood,
and directed the treatment
toward cleansing the blood and
eliminating from it the disease
germs.
