YOUNG OHIO GIRLS
VICTIMS OF DRINK
Legislature Refused Them Nee
GSSary Protection.

Columbus, O.-The refusal of the
Ohio Senate to follow the House in
passing the Graham bill for protect
ing young girls from drink meets with
general condemnation. The bill was
requested by inspectors of the State
Liquor Licensing Board. These in
vestigators find that drinking on the
part of young girls is on the increase in
the saloons and wine rooms and they
wanted a law that would at least
check the evil.
The Graham bill sought to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor to girls under
21 years. The object was to give the
same protection to girls as the law
gives to boys. The bill was fought
by the liquor lobby and friends of the
traffic. It passed the House after
vets resorted to all known tactics to
defeat it. The bill reached the Sen
ate in the last days Of the session.
An effort to advance it on the cal
endar failed and it was permitted
to die. The voters are wanting to
know why the young girls of the state
should be sacrificed in order that
saloonkeepers may pocket more dol
lars. The average citizen believes
that the girls are of more value to
the state than the liquor traffic. The
action of the liquor men in opposing
the bill shows the selfshness and
viciousness of the business and the
drys are confident the voters will
show their resentment by an in
creased dry vote.
FindIay and 5eIIaire.
Findlay, Ohio.-This dry town is
quite well pleased with itself, in COM
pairing arrests made in Findlay with
those made in the wet city of Bellaire.
Findlay has three or four thousand
more people than Bellaire, but there
were 26 more arrests for drunken
ness in wet Bellaire in the month of
February than in dry Findlay during
the entire year of 1916. Of the 256
arrests in Bellaire during February
for all causes, 223 were arrested on
charges naturally due to drink.

LABOR is OHIO's PROBLEM

Ohio's greatest problem in food
production is the labor shortage, ac-
cording to reports received by the
Ohio Branch of the Council of Ma
tional Defense at Columbus. A con-
siderable acreage in Ohio is being
untitled for want of tenants and
farm hands. Unless this situation
can be relieved at once, Ohio farmers
will be unable to grow normal crops,
much less an increased yield. The
Council of National Defense is main
tanning free employment agency
and is ready to serve in any possible
way to relieve the situation.

To Warn Future Kjnos.

Premier Venizelos has announced
his intention of placing a marble
PLAGUE in the chamber of deputies,
where future kings may see it when
they take the oath of office, warning
them against usurping the rights of
the people, writes an Athens CORE
spOndent.
He says that when he is in London,
and visits the house of commons, he OBJ
serves at the entrance 10 Westminster
a conspicuous plaque reading: "Here
was beheaded Charles I, King of Eng
land, for having usurped the liberties
of the people of England" Whenever
king now goes to Westminster to
open or close the work of parliament
he passes directly before this plaque,
which has served for 200 years to warn
British kings not to trench on the
rights of the people. Following this
precedent, NJ Venizelos will inscribe
on the plaque in the chamber here:
king Constantine lost his throne for
twice dismissing the parliament elect
ed by the people and imposing his per-
sonal policy on the people, while the
dismissed parliament returning to pow
er upheld the constitution institutions
of the country"

HAS seven Names
City of Dorpat on Line of German
Advance.
A. Different Times Was in Possession
of Germany, Russia, Poland
and Sweden.

Dorpat is one of the important CEN
ters of population in the Baltic prov
ince of Livonia, which lies on the hue
of advance of the German offensive III
the direction of Petrograd, says our
letin issued by the National Geographic
society.
Saalated on the south bank or the
River Embach, which flows eastward
into Lake Peipus, Dorpat is connected
by rail with both Reval and Riga anu
also has a triweekly steamboat serves
connecting it with the trade center Oh
Pskov, on the Velikaya, one OF the
water routes connecting the Baltic
with Southern Russia. The distance
TO Riga by rail is 156 miles, in a south
westerly direction, while Revai lies 10
the northwest distance of 11S miles.
Except for one or two churches, In
Guiding the cathedral which crowns
Domberg Cathedral hilD and the
castle which rises on the prov OF
Schlossberg (CastIe hiN.. there are
few medieval BUILDINGS in the town.
owing to the fact that the place was
almost completely destroyed by hre III
1777. 1t had suffered from conflagra-
ton on two previous occasions when
invading armies punished 1t FOR ITS
stubborn resistance. The old forth
cations have also been dismantled and
attractive promenades now take the
place of the old walls and earthworks.
Dorpat is known by many names
(Yuriev, Dorpt, Derpt, Tarto, Tarto-
lin and Tehebata), fact which recalls
It's tempestuous history during the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, when it was veritable shut
tlecock city, being tossed back and
forth between cOntending nations
which made the Baltic provinces their
backgrounds. 1t is supposed to have
been founded by prince of Kiev early
in the eleventh century. Two hum
dred years later the Teutonic knights
arrived, and the year following their
advent the cathedral was established
on the Domberg. Russia ouSted the
Germans in 1865; Poland took possess
sion in 1882; Sweden seized the town
in 1900; Poland retook it in 1908;
Sweden was once more In possession I'm
1925; Russia asserted its claims in
1866, followed by a long period Of
Sweden-Russian activities which re-
suited in Russia's making good It's
claim in 1904. -Four years later large
part of the population was deported
to the interior of Russia.
Before the outbreak Of the world
war DOrpat was the headquarters OF
the Eighteenth army corps Of Russia.
1t has a population of $4,000. and ever
since the middle ages, when 1t was a
member of the Hanseatic league, 1t has
enjoyed considerable trade with Pskov
and Novgorod. The agricultural fair,
held in August of each year, is an inn
portant feature Of the city's life in
times of peace.

Luxury for Interned Men.

At Hot Springs, n. c., there is an In
ternment camp where the officers and
sailors of the German merchantmen
have been living under nominal guard
since the United States government
seized their vessels. Here In part Is
n description of this camp, as taken
from an investigator
"The government took over for the
used of the interned officers the beau
tiful summer resort with spacious
hotel in which about 800 officers have
been living in comfort, and in some
respects luxury. since they were de-
prived of their freedom. Hot Springs
boasts of as fine a climate as can be
found anywhere in the world. About
LOO men are informed here, in addi-
ton to the officers, the men, however,
occupying barracks which, although
they present none of the splendors and
conyeniences of the hotel where the
officers lounge in idleness, neverthe-
less are comfortable as any occupied
