WE MUST HAVE CLEAN BILL
BOARDS

The motion picture manufacturers uio
a stauneh, fine, and rather disinterested
thing when they formed their vigorous
energetic and rigidly self-correctiVe
clean picture organization in New York
recently.
They should carry their determine
tions and deeds just one step farther:
they should make an exhibitor who per-
mits suggestive or improper advertising
in any manner, on the billboards, on his
electric sign or in the newspapers, an
outlaw, banned even from getting PIE
lures for further business.
But what should they do to the man
ufacturer himself, piously in their
midst-and permitting his press agent
to get out paper with misleading illus
tration or suggestive legend? Our oph'
ion is that his fellows should turn to
the Celestial books and select some
quaint Chinese punishment.

JEU WING FIRST CHINESE IN
STATE TO PAY AUTO TAX

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 11.-Shades
of Confucious What would the an
cestors of Jeu Wing, Baton Rouge
Chinese, think of him now!
Wing Monday was granted license
for his new automobile. This is the
first time a Chinese has taken out an
automobile license in Louisiana, in the
memory of the automobile license de-
partment of the secretary of state IS
office.
Jeu Wing is running a laundry in
Baton Rouge and has been in America
a long time. He believes that his en-
trance into the ranks of auto owners
stamps him as a real American and
proves the efficiency of the Melting Pot.
Wing also drives his own car and traffic
officers say they would not be sur
prised to capture him for speeding some
day. His license is number 465,751.

MARSHALL FIELD & CO.
AGAIN REFUSES To SELL
To COLORED GIRL

Miss Viola Penn, 1926 Indiana Ave
nue., visited the dress goods department
of Marshall Field and Company in or
der to make purchase. After falling
to get the attention of any of the clerks,
she appealed to one of the floor walkers
as to why her wants were not attended
to. She explained that she had been
standing at the white goods counter for
some time and that many people had
been taken care of while she was com
pletely ignored. The only satisfaction
she received from this self-important
parsonage was to keep on standing.
This discriminatory act was brought
to the notice of the Whip and it has
taken the matter up with the manage
ment of the store, to find out why our
people cannot spend the coin of the
realm in their establishment. The
proper city and state authorities have
also been appealed to. Miss Penn, per
sonally, intends to bring suit against the
firm.

WHO FIRST GROWS OLD?

The woman of the arts or the woman
of private lifes In professional life
we believe that women grow old, with
that age which is not of years, much
sooner than men. Men in the last ten
years have learned that their boyhQod
is largely limited by their own will in
the matter. Men have worked harder
in the past decade than ever before, it
may be, but they have also played more
and have eaten less. Incidence bears de-
struotion as its reward, and with the
access of great prosperity to our cities
and towns there have been many more
indolent women than men; and these
have faded like dollhouse flowers.
The professional woman-and this is
especially true of the picture actresses
leads a far healthier life than her
professional sister who laments, and
hates, regrets, and sits around waiting
for the calendar to catch up with her.
The professional woman S thoughts are
usually constructive and cheerful, and
she has busting endeavors and hard,
long hours to keep her in physical trim.
The disasters of life come more fire.
quently from ease than from difficulty.
The professional woman who de-
termines to keep the litheness of youth
and the thoughts of youth and youth S
associations, and sticks to those deter
limitations can, of course, challenge the
universe. But one of the facts of life is
that we usually do, not what we ought
to do, but what we have to do.
Therefore the industrious, intelligent
actress of fifty is much younger person
than many a lay-woman of forty
merely because the necessities of her
profession have compelled her to keep
young.

Hadn't Seemed to Work.

An oldish man in rusty-brOwn clothes
and with rusty-brOwn beard met up
with a pin. II was shining sharply
bright on a tagging, and he stopped
to pick it up.
He had stiff joints and his fingers
were in that state informally known
as bungly. So he had trouble picking
up the pin.
A young man paused to offer his
services, but the old one refused. He
just grunted and grumbled until at last
victory came his way. Then he
Strengthened up his rickety joints and
put hand on his back.
"I'm not as young as l used to be-"
he admitted, as genially as his joints
would allow. But you know the old
saying:
"'See pin and let II lay, you'll
have bad luck all the day. See pin
and pick it up and you are sure to have
good luck
$50 l never pass one by"
And yet he didn't look as lucky as
a man ought to be who had made a
life habit of picking up pins.-Wash-

, Al SHAN A SACRED PLACE
Chinese Mountain Said to Be the
Oldest Permanent Place of
Worship on Earth.

There are five sacred mountains in
China, and the most sacred of all is
Tai Shan, the Great mountain. said to
be the Oldest permanent place of wor-
ship In the world. In 1000 B. G. Tai
Shan's crest had been a regular scene
of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
knew how long. Emperors and lesser
officials. even Confucius the Wise,
journeyed up the long. narrow trail of
Tai Shan to come near to the God Of
Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
Since those days of simple worship,
many temples and shrines have been
built ON Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism,
Taoism, Confucianism, all are repre-
scented, and there are temples, too. to
the Lady of the Mountain, who Is
called by some fairy, by others a
goddess, and by others the spirit
or soul of the mountain. Whatever
her character, the lady is well repre-
scented on her mountain top and her
shrines are popular.
The journey up the mountainside is
accomplished by the traveller partly in
a swinging chair supported by Chinese
bearers and partly on foot. The way"
consists of granite walk. interrupted
every little while by flights of steps
which stretch on and ON and become
sleeper and closer together until the
pilgrim has mounted 5000 steps and
the peak of Tai Shan is reached.
Here there are more temples and
thick incense and grave old priests
who announce a pilgrims presence to
the gods by ringing deep-toned bells.
A little way Off is pointed out rock
overhanging sheer precipice. From
this rock, called THE Rock of the Love
of Life" persons who had sick rela-
tives used to fling themselves, hoping
that the sacrifice of one life would
appease the gods SO that the other
would be spared. Now the dangerous
cliff is barred, and pilgrims are forced
to appeal to the gods In the conven'
tional Chinese methods.

FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Disclose Remains Of Vessel THAT
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey
docks and harbor board has been con-
Quoting dredging operations in the
neighborhood of the Burbo bank, one
OF the huge Accommodations of sand
which impede the navigation OF the
Mersey entrance, and these have re-
suited in find" of remarkable in
terest.
1t is the remains of steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date Is long ante
rior to that of iron shipbuilding. OF
sound English oak were her timbers
and framing, to which circumstances
doubtless is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape. and
have so wonderfully resisted the forces
of decay as to supply an abundant
quantity of material for the souvenir
manufacturer. Her beams, in point
of fact, are described as being as
f'hard as iron"
The machinery has practically per-
ished, but the engine bed-plates and
the funnel remain, and relics Of pot
terry and other articles are plentiful.
The vessel, cleared of superabundant
sand, is not only visible, but accessible
at low water, and has been visited and
examined by many interested people.
The prevailing opinion is that she
is the William Huskisson, a paddle
steamer belonging to the City of Dub
lin company, and trading between Liv-
erpool and the Irish capital, which on
the 10Th of January, 1910, was wreck
ed on her passage to the Mersey. She
had 100 passengers on board, of whom
% were rescued by the ship Hudders-
field, and the remainder persisted.
Captain Clegg of the Huddersfield
subsequently received handsome pres
entations from the citizens of Liver
pool in recognition of his good work.

REMAINS OF ROMAN SHELTER
Intensely Interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made in the
North Of England.

A lady member of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian So
ciety of England has had the good for
tune to discover what is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
to the place by the work of moles.
which recently exposed some Of the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing of the whins formerly concealing
the hearth and other features of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY some exploration with a spade,
she traced the foundations of large
hearth, twelve yards in diameter, and
a number of heaps of cinders, Stag
and ore and she also turned up spec
linens of Roman tiles, with pottery,
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth of the Forest How bloomery
marks it as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces, which run from seven to
nine or ten feet in diameter, for the
one just found is twelve yards across.
This appears to be worth further ex-
pioration and probably money for that
purpose will be found.

Snanish Birth Rate.

Now it is in Spain that they are

DR.. Gomez Ocana presents In Ell Siglo

death rate was 21.6 per 1000 popula-

had risen to 26.16. And the birth rate
fell from 3160 per thousand in 1912
to 292 in 1917.
Official figures for 1918 are not yet
available, but in the city of Madrid
the death rate rose in that year to
3037, while the birth rate fell to 20.70.
The figures for 1918, however, are abb
normal because of the pandemic.
