What constitutes law?

| What constitutes law?
! The police have asked themselves
that for the second time this week.
Men, they say, who are reported
to have been drunk and roaming the
streets three and four days after their
release from the county Jail for the
same offense and who were freed be-
fore serving one-third of their time,
present a problem that is becoming
vexatious.
Three men have been released from
the county Jail within week upon
the order of justices of the peace.
One man is working every day and
behaving himself, the police have
learned.
Two others have been intoxicated
since they left steel bars behind.
Release Orders on File.
County officials disclaim any credit
for the releases. The orders from the
justices are hanging on file in the
office of the sheriff In the court
house.
Relatives, friends, employers. Those
are the three elements that have to
do with the releases, say county and
city officials.
A man is employed. He gets drunk.
Labor is scarce. His employer wants
to get him out of Jail or relative
wants to get him out in order that he
nay go to work.

Special emphasis will be laid on
physical training. The new play

Tuesday, September 8, is the date
set for the opening of the public
schools in Keokuk. The enrolment,
which totalled few less than $500
pupils last year, is expected to come
up to the average this fall, says Sup
erfntendent William Aldrich. The
usual number of students from the
rural schools viii swell the attend
ance in the high school. Mr.. Aldrich
has returned to the city after vaca-
ton spent In Illinois.
One new feature this year will be
the extending of the normal training
work into the fifth year plan. Before,
pupils have taken some normal train
ing in connection with their third
and fourth year studies in high
school. The new plan presupposes
that pupils take the regular four
years course then spend the fifth
year in normal training Miss Kate
Van Grieken will be the instructor ip
this new department.

TA.TA, PORK BARREL, FOR LONG, LONG TIME
Vote Getting Device Done Away
 With by Secretary MCAdoo

Washington, Jan. 4.-"Pork barrep' public buildings are under the ban for the remainder of the war. Needless construction of ornate post offices and similar federal buildings in small towns, and larger ones as well, is to be stopped definitely in order that money may be saved for military pur- poses.
 Such buildings, even though they already have been authorized by con- gross, are not to be built. The treas ury department will carry along the authorizations for such expenditures, but will spend none of the money un- less it is absolutely clear that the buildings are essential.
 This is the effect of a drastic order issued by William G. McAdoo sec retary of the treasury, sent to the office of the supervising architect At the same time MT. McAdoo wrote to two members of congress, saying automatically that the administration is opposed to making expenditures of this character.
 Much Wailing and gnashing of teeth is expected among members of the senate and house who are returned

EMPLOYES LOSE
 THEIR POSITIONS
Cancellation Of Russian Orders
 Caused Factory to- Close

New Haven--Five hundred em-
 pIoyes of the s. R. Avis and Sons company in West Haven were thrown
 out of work last night when the sud den announcement that the shop would close down indefinitely was made. The layon of the entire work
 ing force in the factory was caused by the cancellation of the Russian gov ernment's order for 100000 gun bar rels which the West Haven plant was engaged in filling. The order was worth about $6,O00,00O. The Avis plant was operating under a con- tract with he Westinghouse Electric company, which secured the origina order from Russia. The great up heaval in Russia as a result of the overthrow of the kerensky regime and the usurpation of power by TrOtzky and the Bolsheviki group gave warn ing of the probable cancellation of rifle, bayonet and general munitions orders from Russia to arm mories in this country. The Avis company, however, had received no definite ad- vices from the Westinghouse com pany that the orders would be dropped until yesterday. Then MT, Avis promptly posted on all bulletin effect that the plant would shut down. Tn some cases the notice was only given 10 minutes before closing time.

EX-PRISONER TO TALK
Alunnus Of Occoquan Will Address
 Women at Hartford

A number of New Britain women are planning to attend the meeting in Unity Hall, Hartford, on Monday evening. The meeting is organized by the Connecticut Branch of the National Woman's Party. The chief speaker will be Miss Mabel Vernon, who is one of the leaders of the party and one of the women who have served terms of imprisonment at Oc- coQuan WOrkhouse, for picketing the White House. Mrs. M. Toscan Ben nett of Hartford, who recently re- signed the treasurership of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association to join the more radical Woman's Party will also speak and several Connecticut women who have served terms of imprisonment at Washington will act as uSherS.
 This IS the first opportunity that Connecticut people nave had of hear ing the story of the DicKots from one of the leaders of the party who has herself undergone imprisonment. The whole policy of picketing, the purpose it was intending to serve and the re- suits that have accrued from it to the cause of votes for Wonen will be ex- plained. ..

to resume their work aftr the holiday recess. Rumors had been af1oat that with the treasury full of money brought in by two Liberty loans and by increased taxes, this is considered a most opportune time for attack by pork barreI' advocates.
 Some members had supposed that a public buildings bill would go through congress unnoticed in the jam of legislation and that their districts would have the time of their lives putting up new post offices.
 But MT. McAdoo and his associates in the administration put down the lid firmly, and this is the order received by the supervising architect:
 "All extensions of buildings the ur- gency of which is established to the satisfa ction of the assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of public buildings, are to be placed on the market for bids at as early date as ,practica ble and carried to comple- ton. All buildings and extensions of buildings now under construction are to be completed.
 NO additional sites are to be se- lected or purchased.
 Marine hospitals, quarantine and immigration stations, being converti- ble into army and navy hospitals or other war uses, construction work and plation in connection herewith are

 No new buildings are to be placed under contract unless their urgency is established to the satisfa ction of the assistant secretary of the treasury" MT. McAdoo said in one of the let ters to member of the house
 Because of the unprecedented de- mands which the war is making upon the national resources, the policy should be observed of curtailing ex penditures for other purposes as far as possible without detriment to the public interests"
 Approximately 154 public buildinps have been authorized by congress, but not contracted for. Treasury officials estimate that the holding up of con- struction of these buildings will save more than $15, 100000 for the pres ent, at least. -#
