ures are late in showing up.
A bill of Importance was laid away
by the House Tuesday, when the one
providing for the election Of county
school superintendents by the people
was tabled
While this bill passed two readings
with apparently clear sailing, it
struck great big snag in the House
Tuesday afternoon. Representative
Hauk offered and secured the adop-
tion Of an amendment to the biz,
which exempted the county of Sulii-
van fror-ts operation, and after
,woundiS This manner, he moved

where it will require two
atnirds vote to take it off.
Insanity Law Bill.>

third and final reading House bill No.

The Senate, however, provided an
amendment to the House measure,
which had been substituted for the

Cured in by the House.
This bill takes these institutions
from control Of the Board Of Control
and places them one each at Knox
vills,s Nashville and Bolivar, under
a superintendent to be appointed by
the governor. This bill, which will
become law very soon, as it was
proposed by Governor Roberts, Is
really the insanity law Of the state.

commitment Of the insane, defines
who are subject to detention and pro-
yides that patients with estates or
families financially able to care for
them shall not be ca7c1 for at state
expense, and provides for wards for
the criminal insane at prisons. It
makes number Of changes in con-
troll and management of the three
state insane asyluns.
Textbook Act Passes.
During the last week, the bill re-
pealing the act Of 1917, which was
an amendment to the state textbook
laws, was passed. This bill places the
textbook law back as II was in the
original act, making the Governor,
the State Superintendent, and three
members Of the State Board Of Edu-
cation, to be appointed by the Gov

Surveying Party Now In
Field North Of Paris; Sta

Following meeting here on last
Monday when State Highway COM
missioner A M. Nelson was present

citizens from the northwestern part
of the county, the route known as
the central route" was finally de-
termined upon for the new Shiloh

built in cooperation with the stats
and government aid
The circuit court room was filled
with representative citizens from the
three routes that we've being consid-
cred, and the conditions fully laid
out, all Of which it is understood Mr..
Nelson weighed fully before deciding
upon the central route from Paris to
the Kentucky state line. This route
leaves Paris over the old iron bank
road to the Callicutt place, thence via
old Walnut Fork, on out BY Esq. w.
]. Brite's place, across Obion river
to the Kentucky state line. 1t splits

and according TO C, +. Williams, road
commissioner for West Tennessee,
the work of construction win be
started and gotten well under way
this year, and should be fully COM
pleted ins 1920 The road through
Henry county is to cost some $780,
900 It. will be thirty feet wide, and
"a 16-foot gravel crown. The survey
and stake setting has been completed
south of Paris to the Carroll CO 1nty
line near Mckenzie, the road going

sary appropriation through the coun-
ty court, as has Henry county, and

the county line near Mckenzie imme-
diately. Henderson county, it is un-
derstood, will also follow the prece-
dent at the next meeting of its coun-
ty court in order to take the road OH

line, as the old line of roadway will
be followed. The distance to the
Kentucky line is some 15 miles.
South of Paris. however, the new
road will be some FIVE miles shorter
than the old main trunk line, the
mileage being reduced by short
cuts from 20 to about Is p,iles, max

PITTSBJRG, Pa, Oct. 16.-"When
woman throws a stone through a
window, it is prima-facie evidence that
window, it is prma-racie evidence that
she never meant to hit that window.
Such was the verdict handed down
here Wednesday, by a jury in crimi-
nal court, which acquitted Sadie Nal
Finger on a charge of malicious mis-
chief, preferred by Mrs. Joseph StaI ,
of Tannehill street.
Mrs. Star testified that she became
engaged in an argument with the lat

up rock and hurled it through the
dining room window of the Star home.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of the
jurymen that no woman ever hurled
a rock true to the mark" and that
while Miss Mallinger undoubtedly had
thrown the rock in a spirit of resent

lRUSH TO LEAVE
GERMANY BEGINS;
Want U. s. JOBS
Officers Ask for Employment
in American Army-Iry to
Get to y. S.
(By Associated PresS)

BERLIN, Oct. 16-The Spanish en-
bassy in Berlin which is in charge OF
American affairs pending the ratlh'
cation of the peace treaty has recelv-
ed SO many applications from regular
German army afficers who want TO
serve in the American army that 1t
has posted big sign on the outer door
announcing that such applications
will not be accepted and that it is use,
less to apply. The number Of appli-
cants since has gradually decreased
but still there are some.
Some Of those seeking commissions
In the American army urged that they
could be Of value in teaching the
Americans how to fight"
There has been a rush also OF Ger
man officers to join other former en-
envy neutral armies. The applicants
were ready to serve in either the
American, British. Japanese, Argen'
tine or even the French forces.
Every correspondent in Germany,
regardless of his nationality has been
bombarded with queries and personal
applications. In vain did they assure
the officers that their armies would
under no circumstances accept Ger
man officers. In vain the explanation
was made that all the Entente armies
were overburdened with officers and
were making every effort to demobll-
: ize them.
a Argentina has become more or less
the mecca of the would-be emigrants
from Germany because it has adVer-
tised through its consulate for agrl-
cultural laborers and has offered in
ducements in the way Of free land.
However, those who want most to
leave Germany want least to go to
farming. For those who really want
to take up agriculture the Argentine
invitation is still attractive.
Others determined to reach the
United States by round about route
see in Argentina an opportunity to
realize their ambition by first going
TO Argentina and then taking chance
OF going on to the United States.
Those who contemplate this ruse
overlook the possibility of trouble
both in Argentina and the first Amer
team port they reach. A young Ger
man woman sat in a Berlin hotel
lobby last night telling her Compan.
ions in voice loud enough for by
ISLANDERS to hear that she intended to
get to America through the Argentine
If necessary by swearing that she had
been in the United States before. She
admitted that this was untrue but
added that "a little white lie could
do no harm"
Many German writer's on immigra'
ton urge that Germany can i'll spare
a single man, the taxes he pays or the
labor he does. They also point out
that hotel keepers of Belgium and
Italy have resolved not to employ Ger
mans for 10 years and that years
must elapse before the German may
live in China or Singapore. They de-
clare that the American workmen will
oppose German immigration to the
utmost because of the possible effect
of wages and say a similar inimical
r rpirit exists in Australia and other
dominions.
