Republicans to
 Rule House of Kentucky Assembly

Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 25.-Con- vening of the Kentucky general assembly here January 5, will find the Republicans holding a major ity in the house of almost fifteen votes, and lacking control of the senate by two votes. The Novem- elections boosted the republicans to control of the house, but demo- crats, although losing many seats retained senate majority because of "leftovers" of the last legisla- ture.
 Lieut.. Gov. E. Thurston Bal lard will preside over the senate It is probable that action on the constitutional woman suffrage amendment will be taken up short fly after the converting, according to apparently well-informed opin- ion.
 Two measures, under prepara- tion, would provide a public library in every county and branches ir all towns and cities.
 Reorganization of the public school system is likely to be pro- vided for in several bills. Cover nor Edwin P. Morrow, first repub' lican governor of Kentucky since 1907, has announced he favors s constructive reorganization of ths school system.

$4O,O0O in Back
 Taxes to be Paid

Little Rock, Dec. 25-Judgment for the settlement of back taxes from 1875 to 1915, amounting to $40,000, was entered in chancery court Wednesday afternoon in the case of the State of Arkansas on relation of John D. Arbuckle, at torney general, vs. the Barring Cross Bridge Company.
 This is the second largest judg- ment received from back taxes in the past 10 years, according to George Vaughan, who has acted as special attorney for the state on bac ktax matters. The largest judgment entered in this period was $55,000 against the Prairie Pipe Line Company of Texarkana About one-third of the $40,00C judgment goes to the state, the other two-thirds going to Pulasl, county.
 The Missouri Pacific railroad an dnot the Barring Cross Brige Company, will pay the tax. Un- der the lease for 50 years made by the railroad company with the bridge company in 1881, the rail. road agreed to pay all taxes.

THINGS YOU SHOULD LEARN

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine.
 Learn to attend strictly to your own business-a very important point.
 Learn to tell good story. A well-told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room.
 Learn the art of saying kind and encouraging things.
 Learn to avoid ill-natured re- marks and everything calculated to create friction. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. Other people have their own.
 Learn to hide your aches and pains under smile.
 Remember a smile is worth a fortune.
 DON'T be a SOREHEAD. Dc you know think Kindness is the greatest thing in all this big world? There are today millions of men, women and little children who are hungering, yea starving, for JUST KIND WORDS. Don't growl and whine and bark. BE GENTLE AND KIND.- Bulletin of Los Angeles Lodge.

Japan Opposes Form of Mandates
 Granted Nations

Paris, Dec. 25.-Japan's repre- sentative in the supreme council has objected to the form of the mandates under which the former German colonies in the Pacific would be administered. Time has been asked to refer the question to the Tokio government. Mean while the council holds the adop- tion of the mandates in abeyance.
 The question of mandates was taken up today by the council, which considered the drafts that had been prepared and adopted, two giving mandates in Africa to Great Britain and Belgium. Fina faction on five others was postponed on the request of the Japanese delegates, Baron Matsui: The mandates considered had been prepared by the mandate commission in London. They were in three series denominated Type A. Type B, and Type c. The two mandates adopted come under Type B, providing for administra- tion under the regime of the league of nations. The Type A, man. dates apply to the Orient and the Type c to the Pacific colonies. Type c, developed the objections upon the part of Baron Matsul. He found that they gave Japan less advantage than she had en- loved in these colonies under the German rule, it was stated. Three of the four voting delegates in the council approved the drafts but Baron Matsui reserved the appro- bation of Japan, and asked for time to refer the question to his government.
 The dtails to which the Japan csc representatives objected were not disclosed but it is assumed here that the question of the mi grafton of Japanese to the colon ies which would come under the mandate of Australia was invol- we'd, as we'll as the economic advantages the Japanese formerly enjoyed under the most favored nation clause.

American Fails
 to Collect His Claim on Irish

Dublin, Dec. 25.-An American alien in Ireland who sued the Commissioner of Police to recoV- CT 124 pounds taken from hlm when he was arrested in Ireland for illegal drilling of lrlshmen has failed to collect his cliam.
 William Pedlar had fought on the side of the Sim Fein in the rebellion of Easter Week, 1916, having been stationed inside the postoffice. He was afterward ar rested and deported but returned to Ireland and was engaged Ill military training when he was ar rested and the money confiscated'
 The case was taken before the Kings bench which unanimously decided against him. Pedlars s counsel had claimed that his client as a friendly alien was un- der protection of the King but Justice Dodd, who presided, point, ed out that man who had seized the Kings postoffice and fought against the Kings troops had ni right to such protection.

Shipping Board
 Plans to Sell
 Former Hun Ships

Washington, Dec. 25.-The shipping board has under consid- eration the sale of all former Ger man passenger ships with the stipulation that the vessels be run under the American flag, it was announced tonight.
 The vessels, which were taken ever by the government during the war, total 103, aggregatirg approximately 25O,OOO deadweigi,t tons. No price has been fixed but $250 a ton is suggested by high of ficials.
 The six ex-German liners held by the board pending the final de termination of their status are not included among the vessels whicl, may be offered for sale.
 While no announcement has been made by the board of a change in policy, officials freely discussed the possibility of the boards abandoning passenger ser. vice.
 l He ucClSlOH Ol Cuc OOdAo HUI to allow liquor on government owned ships is expected by ship. ping clerks to make competition with privately owned vessels prac. tical1y impossible. The latter be. ing able to serve intoxicants out side the three mile limit, have considerable advantage in passen- ger traffic, it is considered.
 The six liners allocated to the recently ordered New York -Soutf American line will not be sold if service to South America would be thereby cut off. All proposals for purchase will be carefully con- sidered with regard to the line ol service in which the ships are tc be operated, it was said.
