cHeEck DELINQUENT LIST.
Thirty Auto Owners Found to Have
Failed to Secure Licenses.


The delinquent automobile list f9r
Marshall county. which originally con-
tanned zoo names, has been checked
over by a state agent who visited this
city during the past week. or the Lou
letters sent out by the county attor-
news office 1875 replies have been re-
ceived. and seveny- eight letters have
been returned, the address OF the adj
dressee being unknown. OF this list
OF 7OS names thirty actual delinquents
have been found. All OF this number
either have received or have applied
for license numbers since receiving
the letters from the county attorney.
About 500 have not responded to the
county attorneys letter.
The state agent commented on the
few violations Of the motor vehicle
law found on the streets of THE city
and said the automobile situation IN
this county might be regarded as ex-
cellent. He expects to return here IN
about three weeks to make further
check on the delinquent list and con-
fer with the county attorney on what
proceedings will be taken against the
delinauents who fail TO report, whether
prosecutions will follow. or the sherih
will be directed TO seize the cars ana
advertise them for sale without pros

either procedure.

Adding to the Comfort

of the Home

Attractive, restful interior decorations
add much to the comfort of your home;
to its cheerfulness; to its beauty.
Harmonious color schemes for the walls

subscriptions and by lots of close
figuring those in charge were able to
make ends meet. 1t is necessary to use
this fund to pay for all running eX-
penses of the home including feed
ing and clothing the children and the
salaries of both the matron and pro-
baton officer At times, since the city
discontinued it's appropriation, it has
been hard to make ends meet, but
the work is progressing smoothly
and if the beans run short at a meal
or there isn't enough cover at night,
there is never a whimper from the
kiddies.
Both Miss Strobridge and Miss
Owens hope to be able to secure
place closer to the city at some time
in the future so the children will have
better access to the schools and Sun
day schools and the older children can
secure employment at odd times.
The juvenile home is one of the
most worthy institutions in this city
and every effort should be made on
the part of the citizens to facilitate
the work of those in charge and aid
them to extend their work.

A REAL HOME.

There is probably no institution in
the state that has done as excellent
work with as many handicaps as the
local home for juveniles and delin-
quents. Two years ago there was no
place in this state where a child
could be placed unless the parents, if
they were alive, signed release to
all rights to it. Juvenile officers were
compelled to take the children from
their parents and place them in homes
where they were adopted or leave
them to shift for themselves in the
best way possible.
When Miss Grace Strobridge was
appointed chief probation officer in
this city she was seriously handicap
ped in handling dependent children.
For time she placed those who
came under her attention in homes as
best she could and was often forced
to board the children in homes when
she could find no one to adopt them.
This plan was very unsatisfactory
and expensive.
About year ago the juvenile home
was opened here and greatly facili-
tated her work. There are eight or
ten children on an average at the
home all of the time. They are sent
to school and are cared for and raised
in an environment that will make a
marked impression on their lives. The
home is an ideal one in every way
and the matron, Miss Owens, is MAX
ing for her little brood real home,
something that many of them have
not known before. Not only is this
method more satisfactory but it is
considerable less expensive than the
old method of boarding the children
out.
The county has provided the home
with $4,000 in script annually. The
city, until recently, appropriated the
same amount for the home maintain

How to Remove Easily.

Here's chance, Miss Feckleface
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does

Simply get an ounce of Othine-

and few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-

one ounce needed for the worst case.

ROAD MAINTENANCE IN JET
PERSON COUNTY.

jefferson county is to be congrat-
ulated on the formulating by County
Judge R. H. Williams of plan for
systematic maintenance of its mod
ern highways. The commissioners of
the various districts will put their
respective roads in good condition
and the county will then undertake
to keep them in repair. The commits
sioners Of the Dollarway pike are
now spending some. $4,000 on their
road and the Tamo pike is being re-
built at q cost of $4,000. As soon as
the Star City pike commissioners
have the funds in hand they will put
their road in shape.
The constant maintenance of high
ways not only saves valuable pub
lie property from going to rupin, but
it allows the public to get from the
highways the maximum of service

A NEW INDUSTRY.
w. S S.

The introduction of peanuts into
jefferson and adjacent counties will
mean much to both the farmers and
the business men of this section if
they will take hold and consistently
plant this new farm product Only in
recent years has much attention been
given to peanut culture but agricul-
tural experts who have made a study
of the possibilities of peanut raising
contend that it is one of the most pro-
fitable ways in which farmer can
use both his time and land.
The peanut is like the pig in the
packing house where nothing is lost
but the squeal. The vines are an en-
cellent hay, the hulls are used for
stock feed, the nuts are pressed for
their oil and cake left is ground into
meal and furnishes an excellent stock
food.
Peanuts can be raised ON land that
produces poor stand of cotton and
can be planted as follow crops for
wheat, oats and other grain They
are productive when planted between
corn rows and on idle lands. They are
not hard to cultivate and are very
profitable.
The bankers, business men and
farmers of the county should cooper
ate for an increased acreage

Something Easy

The peace conference has decided that
Austria shall do without navy. The
decision was arrived at without contro-
versy. Austria has now joined those
high and dry communities on the order
of Switzerland and Bohemia, which have
seacoast only in the imagination of
careless geographers like Shakespeare
austria needs neither warships nor sea-
gong merchantmen. The Danube is her
only all-water outlet Trieste is her
natural port, and that has become 1tal-
ian. The fleet which the Dual Monarchy
maintained was luxury both in peace
and war. The new Austria is well rid
OF such a burden. The conference has.
therefore, satisfied everybody For the
first time it stumbled on something
really easy.

with the Feet OnIv"

an inspiring battle-cry Of the Uplift
comes from Philadelphia. Color is given
To- life in that staid city by open-air
dancing. 1t is ono Of the chief summer
diversions The plaza in front Of that
temple Of ugliness, the City Hall, ia
nfghtly centre Of festivity. But Pbila-
deiphia insists that all shall be done
decently and in order. That is why the
police have issued ukase to the effect
that Philadelphians must dance with
their feet only"
inns might seem supcrf'uous warn
ing. How else could they be expected to
daHcey Certainly not with their hands.
But there is more In it than meets the
casual eye. The police, acting as CEN
seyeg 7aorpou, intend to bar the "shimrnyv
and other dances which they consider
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-05-11

demoralizing. The question is whether
they will know the "shimmy' when they
see it. Are they expert enough to dis
tinguish among all the odd varieties of
dances which modern ingenuity has de-
vised? And may not the offensiveness of
any dance lie largely in the eye of the
spectator? 1t is easy to surmise i'm
propriety where none exists. There was
time when any round dance was
frowned upon by many people. Byron's
attack upon the waltz found sympathy.
Yet he was not generally regarded as
stern moralist. 1t has been ungenerously
suggested that his attitude arose from
the fact that he couldn't dance But
the ascription of motive does not blunt
the force of just criticism.
1t is hard to believe that the polka, the
galop and the schottische were ever re-
spirit of revelry. No one dances them
now; how "slow" they would seem to the
devotees of the foxtrot and it's success
ors! Even the two-step, criticised in
Its day as something less than beautiful,
Is tame in comparison. Is not the waltz,
after all, the best embodiment of the
poetry of motion? There is not much
poetry about the "shimmy" and it's ex-
aggerated contemporaries.
1t is not with beatty, but with morals,
presumably, that the Philadelphia police
are concerned. They will have to dis
criminate with care, however, between
what is moral and what is not The feet
only may be guilty of undesirable con-
tortions. Nor are the police often good
judges of ethical matters. They can dis
pense at best but rough justice. Prob
ably the dancers will be able to dance al
most anything, provided they do it dis
creetly. AS the old topical song put the
case, cit depends on the way it's DONE"

More Logomachy

AS supplement to the league of ma
tons covenant the President, in an Off
cial statement, announced he had agreed
to promote an engagement under which
Great Britain and the United States
would support France if attacked by
Germany.
To the average person this seemed as
If somewhere it was thought the cove
nant did not provide adequate protection,
and that the engagement was to supply
the deficiency. And nothing was said
about approval of the special engage
ment by the executive committee of the
league
Now comes supplement to the sup
plement; to the effect that the engage
ment will not be operative unless ap-
proved by the executive council of the
league, or that it would merely hasten
action to which we would be bound by
the covenant of the league of nations"
1t Is not easy to follow the plays in
the game of logomachy. Messrs. Taft
and Lowell have been going up and down
asserting that the covenant did not bind
us to anything. Mr.. Taft, standing on
the same platform with the President
declared there was no impairment of the
exclusive war-making power of Congress
by the covenant The President did not
contradict the statement, nor has the
subsequent declaration of Mr.. Taft, that
we are not to be even morally bound to
act, been repudiated.
But the Presidents new statement i'm
plies that even without special engage
ment the covenant will bind us to pro-
tect France, and bind us, it is to be in
ferred, to protect every other nation.
Which is the orthodox doctrine? If this
nation is bound" by the covenant, what
has been said by Messrs. Borah, Reed
and Poindexter seems justified.
Another matter seems pertinent. Last
September, in the second supplement to
the Fourteen Points, the President sad
"3.-There can be no leagues, or ALI
ances, or special covenants or understand
lngs within the general and common fam
lily of the league of nations"
Seemingly this utterance was in the
Presidents mind when he sent yester-
days cabegram. The distinction, how
ever, does not seem of practical conse-
quence. The three nations which as in
dependent powers propose to make the
engagement are the same three nations
which, it may be assumed, will control
the league. What is of consequence is
the implication that the covenant will
olnd us to do what the engagement pro-
poses, even though the engagement is not
entered into.

The Somnolent Sow
fFrom The Manchester .unrdin,

IRON The Manchester IuQrdinul
The distinguished Danish vegetarian DR..
NJ. Hlndhede has made the interesting dis
covery that Germany owes her downfall to
the pig. In 1914 she had over %. 600 oOo
pigs to feed. For the first five months Of
the war slaughtering was discouraged. at
the cost Of enormous reserves of food
stuffs Early in 1915 this policy was re-
versed, and by April the number of Mrs
had been reduced by 35 per cent. Then a
reaction in favor of pigs set in. and their
numbers were kept at about 70 per cent Of
the pre-war figure. Not till late in 1917
and early in 1918 was the fatality of this
mistake realized, and then it was too late
Or. Hindhede argues that Denmark avoided
starvation by killing her pigs early and
that If Germany had adopted the same
course her collapse by starvation and
Spartacism would have been avoided. His
theory conjures up the picture Of somno-
