1t is seldom that the mercury sink s
as low as has been found on several

A case that created a good deal of
interest in this community came off
before Justice Ivey Friday. The city
council, looking upon the late hours at
night on which some of the saloons were
often kept open and upon the practice
of many in visiting saloons on Sunday
conclusive to evil, passed an ordinance
requiring every place where liquors are
sold to close at 10 O'Clock each week
day night and to be kept closed entire
ly on Sunday. Compliments were en-
tered for violation of the ordinance.
In the course of the investigation the
city charter was produced. 1t was
urged for the defense that the require
ments of the charter had not been com
piled with as it required the submission
to a vote of the people of nearly every
question upon ordinances which have
been passed, the regulation of liquor
shops among the rest. On that point
the suit went in favor of the defendants.

nitions factories and the canteens. The
women still scrub and cook, sew and
care for children. They follow the
age-old occupations Of women, but
also, they perform the labor of men.
And Of course to them is assigned the
task of ministering to the wounded
They are everywhere doing what they
can to assuage the agonies that every
battle inflicts. They have even helped
to dig the graves on the British front
line in Flanders.
at is not surprising that women
should soon learn to run machines,
but it is surprising that they are en-
gagged successfully on heavy jobs that
require great physical strength. 1t is
the American ideal that womanhood
should be protected and for that rea-
son believe in safeguarding the
health of women in every possible
way. We, here in the United States,
can profit by the experience of France
and Great Britain, where it was DEM
onstrated that certain kinds of en-
ployment for women meant terrible
wastage affecting future generations,
as well as our own. And this brings
me to an acknowledgment of the
whole great debt we owe the allies,
who are bestowing upon US, who have
entered the war so recently, the bene-
fits of their four years experience.
"They are teaching us how to avoid
the mistakes made in the first expert
ments in warfare forced on them by
the horrible inventions of Germany.
We are profiting by what they have
learned in factories and shops, in
homes and schools, as well as in
trenches on the battlefields, in camps
and hospitals.
81 hope that we shall neglect none
of the lessons offered by our allies,
that we shall be especially cautious
in the introduction of women into the
new lines of industry made necessary
by the exigencies of war 1t is less
costly to profit by forethought than
to benefit by afterthought."

PREHISTORIC ASTRONOMY

sun is an assumption. Recently an
interesting theory has been advanced
to explain the holes
According to this theory these holes
form what might be called a seasonal
clock. Twice year, once as the sun
works north and once as it works
south along the eastern horizon, it
rises in line with the eastward point
ing holes and for one morning, for
possibly three minutes, throws bar
of light into the dark inner room.
From this the ceremonial calendar
could be dated and certain festivals
would fail on the same day year after
year. One is reminded of Stonehenge
in England where the sun at its sum-
mer solstice shone down long alley
of stone monuments upon an altar
placed in the center of series of
circles of stones.
We come now to the northern pair
of holes which are placed in the north
wall of the central room and the cor
responding outer wall of the building.
This pair trends downward and to the
east so that they never overlooked the
defensive wall which surrounded the
group of buildings around the Casa
