nally enacted into law. 1t is
stronger than the Ray bill, and is
modelled after the laws now in for
ce in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
several other states.
The levying OF d tax Of one dol
lar on each dog, as personal prop
ertv. is a small item compared to
the provision made requiring ow-
lcrs to keep their dogs under con-
troll
If sheep raiser 5 dogs are
killed he can recover from the
dog tax fund. and if that fun1
is insufficient he can recover,
out Of the general fund Of the
county. It will then be up to
the county to recoup itself sue

West Palm Beach, Aug. 4.-When
the Asiatic immigration crossed Beh-
rings Straits it turned south and then
east in the latiture of the Great
Lakes. The Eskimos of the north
were then down that far. The red
mans immigration has generally been
toward the south away from the cold,
in the line of least resistance toward
a warmer line. In Florida the Semi
noles came from the north and gradu-
ally either from choice or force they
went farther into the Everglades. We
are not surprised Therefore to learn
that DR.. Hrdlicka discovered recently
in Ten Thousand Islands further re-
mains of the Coosas, who fourished in
DeSoto's time around Fort Myers and
southwest of Lake Okeechobee and
after whom the Caloosahatchee river
was named. Prof. Hrdlicka says:
"The region of the coast south Of
Key Marco, which was supposed to
be of no great account as far as
aboriginal remains were concerned,
was found to be full Of sites, shell
heaps, platforms, and mounds, with
canals and other evidences of former
indian occupation, the remains cover
ing in individual instances 20, 80 and
even so aches of grounds. Only all of
this is still intact SO far as scientific
exploration is concerned.
ut was determined that these re.
mains are throughout Of the same
class though differing in very inter.
esting details, and the conclusion
seems justified that they represent
the same culture and people, identi
fable with those farther north, up to
and beyond Charlotte Harbor. They
were, according to such evidence as
we possess (crania, etc., homogen
eous stock, physically related to the
type of the eastern Algonquins. The
round-headed people of farther up the
coast and the st. Johns river were
evidently wholly absent in this region

NEW STYLES IN MEMS CLOTHING
indianapolis Starr

With the most subtle irony the mo-
guls of the National Clothing Associa-
ton have predicted an increase Of 100
per cent in the cost of mems clothing
for next year and at the same time
they announced as one feature of
their "jazz" styles new "pickpocket-
proof" pocket. These tailors must
have their littue joke. With food,
fuel, laundry and everything else 60
ing up pockets have grown so lean
that the light-fngered craft must be
in dire straits.
The word also has gone forth that
shoulders will be broader and chests
deeper. What needless change!
With man eating less and less as
prices 60 up for each microscopic bit
of groceries and meats, statistics will
show gradual shrinkage in measure
ments. The shoulders will droop and
the chest assume sunken form. All
the tailor's skill will be required to
conceal mans decline into a shriv-
eled, misshapen thing.
In one respect, however, the ma
TONS tailors in congress assembled
have taken wise step. After a lapse
OF many years they have at last given
some recognition to the shirt. The
vests will be cut lower in order to af-
ford greater display of short front.
Under our present system a shirt Is
almost as useless an article as ear
muffs in July. For years we have
been buying three and four yards Of
cloth made up into shirts but from the
time they're wrapped up until the
laundry bill comes in there is little
visible evidence of such apparel. We
are told that eight-ninths Of an ice
berg's volume is under water and
rather morvel over the fact, whereas
about nine hundred and ninety-nine
one-thousandths of a shirt Is sub.
merged.
The dispatch from New York re-
lates that gaudy Innings of blue, or.
ange and other brilliant hues will be
in vogue. Why should these rainbow
effects be born to blush unseen and
hid their dazzle from the public eye?
Why not carry the idea to its natural
elimination and wear these bright
colors on the outside? In birdland It
is the male of the species that Is
decked in bright array while the fe-
males drab rlumage is scarcely tint
ed enough to classify it. Why can not
the male of the species homo deck
himself out In gaudy raiment? It

LENINE LOSING NERVE
BoIshevik Premier Said to Have
Urged Surrender.
Present Government i'm Russia Is Re-
ported to Be Growing Steadily
Weaker.

Paris, Jan. 21.-Authentic informa-
ton received here concerning recent
developments in Russia indicates that
the strength and prestige of the Boil
sheVik government at home has weak
ened somewhat in the last few months,
although Premier Lenine and his asso-
ciates have succeeded in strengthen
ing their armies and gaining consider
able military success in Western Rus
Eia
Premier Lenine, apprehensive of pO-
litical developments and the pOssibil.
ity of vigorous Allied Intervention, is
reported to have proposed to the ex'
ecutive committee of the Soviet con
gress that the Bolsheviki surrender.
Trotzky, Karl Radek and Foreign Min
lister Tchitcherin opposed the proposal
vigorously. However, Lenine's pro.
posal was defeated by majority of
only IL votes out of 200 cast.
The prospect of foreign interven-
ton, it is said, has brought to the Boil
shevik support from certain elements
who fear that Intervention might re-
suit in a counter revolution and res
toration of the monarchy. The Boil
shevik army is estimated to number
900 men. 1t is said to be we'll
equipped and under complete control
of it's leaders. The high pay offered
by the Bolsheviki, who also control
the food supplies, has enabled the
leaders to maintain discipline and to
attract recruits.
