Actual Developments in
Recall in Another Week
Champe s. Andrews and Other
Leaders Make Predic-
ton Saturday.

According to c. S. Andrews and
others interested In the recall of Com
missioners Heron and Frazier, another
week should see something definite on
the matter.
All this week the recallists have been
engaged in the task OF preparing alpha
betically by wards all the voters who
registered in the last general registra-
ton. This Is now complete and all that
remains to be done is to check against
the signers of the recall petitions, which
will be done next week.
Mr.. Andrews stated Saturday that he
felt sure there were enough names on
the petitions to recall the two commits
sioners. but II it was found the desired
1920 names were not secured. more pc
titions would be circulated in an effort
to secure the desired number.
Asked If the recallists had any one
in mind whom they intended to run for
commissioner. Mr.. Andrews said they
did not. He stated, however. that
number of people. including several
ladies', had asked him If the recallists
would support certain individuals should
they run and the answer was always
given that no interest whatsoever was
taken in who was to succeed the COM
missioners, but all that was now de-
sired was their recall.

DIDN'T KNOW THERE
HAD BEEN A WAR

London, Sept. 6.--Although
she has lived in suburb OF
London during the past ave
years and has been through
numerous German air raids,
Miss Charlotte Friday, OF
Hounslow, has just declared,
at the age OF 100 years and
months, that she did not know
that there had been a war.
Fearing the effect, because OF
her advanced age. Miss Fri
days relatives kept all news OF
the conflict from her. The few
male relatives that Miss Friday
saw in uniform told her that
khaki was the latest style In
mems wearing apparel.
On air raid nights relatives
persuaded Miss Friday to wear
two or three extra nightcaps
over her ears, saying cooler
weather was predicted, other
wise she might catch cold. The
muffled explosions she heard
were attributed TO accidents In
the nearby government powder
mills-a form of industry the
aged woman formed a very bad
opinion of during the latter
part OF her life.

Kansas City. Aug. 30.-The most
stringent order against "spooning"
yet issued by the police department
has been given out by Scott Cooley.
| chief OF police, to all commanding Of
| ficers and patrolmen. The order pro-
vides for the strict enforcement of
city ordinance, which not only pro-
hibits "spooning," but even prohibits
minors of opposite sex from riding In
| the same motor car after 8 o'clock
at night without a chaperon.
The order was issued by Chief
Cooley on direction OF the police COM
| missioners, following a conference
late yesterday afternoon on the cam
paign against "spooning," being con-
Quoted by the police. The municipal
court judges have refused to punish
persons arrested for "spooning," but
as the new order Is embodied In a
city ordinance the judges can hardly
refuse to punish offenders, the police
commissioners say.
Text Of tho New Order.
Following is the order: -.

same unless the actions OF the minors
in question have reached the stage

The opinion says: ut Is my Judgment
that II the legislature was now called In

3 law assessing poll tax against women
voters Of Tennessee for 1919, because
tho poll tax for that year mas been
assessed and Is now due and such n
law would therefore be retroactive and

application 10 the election OF 1920 be-
cause the law as II now stands re-
quires the payment OF poll tax for the
preceding year, which Is for the year
1919, so that the levy OF a poll tax for
1920 against women would not force
them TO pay the same before they would

session OF the legislature should first
pass a law assessing a poll tax against
all women for the year 1890, and should

They Now Combat the Film

Dental science has found a new way to
clean teeth-a way that combats the film.
Able authorities have proved it for years
in clinical and laboratory tests. The facts
are beyond any question. Leading dentists
all over America now urge people t. adopt
it, and a million or more have done so.
This method, for home use, is embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And this
week we offer, to every home in this city,
enough for a ten-day test. For your WI
sake you should make that test.
