"Oflisha, how many thirty thirty
third streets is dere," asked Lucy
Matthews of q cop on Thirty-thiro
street in Georgetown the other day
after she had wandered around hall
of the morning trying to find her way
home. Come with me little one and
1 will show you," politely replied the
cop. Lucy was already on Thirty
third, poor soul but she didn't know
it and before she caught the drift of
things she recognized the flagpole on
the Seventh precinct.
Lucy left home that morning in
tending to go to the grocery store but
she went in the wrong place and came
out with a load inside instead of in
the basket. The street was turning
around so fast that she Travelled in a
circle, until the cop caught hold Of
the street, and made it keep still anu
deposited Lucy in a cell. She is nov
out her market money and ten spot.
but she is perfectly sober now.
John Was Some Strafer.
A cop strolling down by MAYORS
Alley Wednesday night thought he
heard a bombardment, but on arriving
he found John Waters shooting off his
face a mile a minute. No one haG
bothered John a bit. but he hadn't a
chance to have the last word for So
long with his girl that he overdid it..
No woman could stand still one
minute when she heard such words as
John used and the girl ran.
All the neighbors stuffed cotton in
their ears, closed the blinds and one
of them cTept up behind John and
stuffed a scrub rag in his mouth.
John got rid of this and he was
splitting fire when the cop arrived. II
is necessary to say something real
naughty to be fined SO, but that is
what John did.
Sam Did Slam.
Tuesday night Rosie Gillis and Sam
Moss went to the movies. Sam was
so restless during the show that Rosie
got up and left him sitting there.
Rosie went home. found a caller there
and he also wanted to go to the
movies. Now as Rosie hadn't seen
all of the show, she went again, not
thinking that Sam was still there.
Someone hollered to Rosie from
across the isle and Sam jumped up
like someone had shot him. He got
red in the face df such is possihleD
and went outside and waited Twenty
minutes later Rosie came out with
her escort and Sam, like a boob. fol-
lowed her down the street. The other
man didn't know Sam and asked who
the bum was following him. A minute
later Sam had a long stick and struck
at the man but hit Rosie. Rosie had
him pinched and the court suspended
a thirty-day sentence just for luck.
Joe Wasn't To Blame.
Every now and then on + street
southwest some unthinking, impolite
person sticks their head out of the
window at midnight when most every
one else is trying to sleep and sings
in a very raspy Voice. Beneath this
window is a collection of old shoes.
bottles, bricks and other missiles.

John Gross, the person. was told one
time that he could sing.
He believed this nonsense and tried
very hard to do some real singing.
Folks next door were looking over
prospectuSes from sanatoriums and
one night this week they had COM

went outside with a stick to chase
it away. John got an awful wallop
on the forehead, with profound ex-
cuses from Joe Mason, the unwilling
assailant. John had Joe arrested. The

Lottie Was n SuffrHgette.
Two or three weeks ago Lottie
Fraser bought a new toilet set for
her washstand. She paid for it with
money she had earned washing dirty
overalls. Her hubby Jake had no more
to do with this set than you have.
These two unbleached Americans had
spat a few days ago and agreed to
disagree and separate. They divided
the furnishings of the house and each
went their way.
Lottie didn't find out that she had
forgotten the toilet set until Monday
evening and she hotfooted it after
Jake and demanded it. Jake had made
mash on another dusky maiden and
he was loath to release it. Lottie
picked up a chair and broke the seat
out of it over Jake's head. 1t didn't
hurt very much, but Jake got sore and
had her arrested. 1t was a good chair
and he would miss it very much. Lot

eler," according to Alberta Maynard
who was arrested for nearly breaking
the skull of her man, Bob. When
these two were married Alberta was a
thin young woman, just a nice armful,
but now she carries quite little
weight on her feet. Bob is not so at
tentive as he used to be- He stopped
buying Tiffany diamonds and Ameri-
can Beauty roses long ago.
Alberta made the bonehead mistake
of renting a room in their home TO
sweet young thing. Bob wasn't blind
and he had a soft spot in his heart for
polka dot dresses and perfumed hair
Alberta took off her shoe. when her
patience lasted no longer and she
played a tattoo on Bob's head Bob
didn't like this business and it cost
Alberta a ten spot, which she srudg-
ingly paid, as Bob had earned it.

CONFLICT IN LAWS
 MAY STOP WOMEN
 WORKING IN MILLS

Little Rock, May g. The CrosseN Lumber company, as we'll as several others in the state, rave expressed a desire to employ women in some of the lighter occupations about the mills, to take the place of men who are enlisting in the military service. They have been in correspondence with the state labor bureau with ref erence to the law, so that there may be no violation of the law through misunderstanding of the statutes.
 An apparent conflict was found in the minimum wage and the child labor laws.
 The child labor law. passed Janu- ary 1, 1915, provides "No boy or girl under the age of eighteen yeas shall be employed, permitted or suf fered to work for more than six days in any week or more than '5d hours in any week. nor more than ten hours in any one day"
 The minimum wage law, approved March, 1915, provides that: "No fe- male shall be employed in any man ufacturing, mechanical or mercantile establishment. laundry * * x in this state, for more than nine hours in , any one day, or more than six. days, or more than 54 hours in any ono

"You might think it a little strange that well man should take Chiro~ nractic treatment. The fact is, how ever. that Chiropractic never brings an adverse result. It's tendency Is tn make the sick well, and a well man better
 "Chiropractic places strong chi phasis on the study of anatomy. The good Chiropractor knows tho human body. His business is to bring about q right relationship between the bone tissue and the nerve-tissue."
 "Above all things, a sood Chiroprac- tor has faith in nature, He does not make his proud boast that he cure: people. He knows it is nature tntt heals. All the Chiropractor can do is to put the patient n line with th7 healing forces of nature.
 "We are part of nature. Nature needs us in her business. she is try ing to keep us well. The Chiroprac- tor simply goes in Dal tnershlp with nature. Nature is his teacher, his mentor. his guide"
 "At the same time i have notice that a linlIO1TdCiCl lo ell" esS D teacher as well as a practitioner HS is a friend of his patient. He takes the individual into his confidence He is a man of sympathy. of irtelligenc9 of kindly, generous disposition
 "Chiropractic treatment brlnss about a condition where nature cures in a vast number of cases.

 Mrs. Vaughn became thoroughly in terested in this matter and availed herself at first of the talent that Nashville afforded, which fortunately was very fine. She aftefWard went to Boston for a post eraduqte course and soon after she had completed that, way was opened uD for her to impart to ether mothers ind housekeepers the knowledge that had meant so much to her. She very eagerly entered into this work and has accomplished much along this line.
 Mrs. Vaughn has spoken before wo- mems clubs, mothers clubs, and do- mestic science classes all over the country. She is demonstration of the fact that there is nothing in this day that a woman cannot accomplish so long as she undertakes and has the courage to overcome hardships and use them for stepping stones to greater achievements.

Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, domestic science lecturer from Nashville, Tenn, who is to address the women Of Pine Bluff in Shriners Temple next week, is not in the slightest de- gree a militant, masculine type of woman but is distinctively womanly and is highly cultured. She comes of sturdy Irish stock and belongs to the army of women who succeed in any undertaking, because she has womanyly charm as well as determin- ation, unusual ability and untiring energy. Somewhat. contradictory impressions crowd each other at the first meeting with Mrs. Vaughn. Young looking and motherly, charm ing and capable, dainty and forceful, all of these characteristics present themselves in bewildering success sicn. If one of these characteristics in any way overshadows the others, it is that of motherliness.
 Mrs. Vaughn's first claim to prom thence was gained in her home city as an excellent mother It was in the care of her very interesting family of three boys and two girls that she received the first inspiration to in- vestigate and practice in her own home, the modern improvements of domestic science and the study of foods. Mrs. Vaughn's friends seldom speak of her without some reference
