MOTHERS Sell CHILDREN TO
AVERT STARVATION FOR Them
Few Francs Enough to Buy Little
One in Lille. Courts Threaten
Severe Penalties.

LILLE, France.-A widespread
traffic in little children has just been
discovered in the Lille region, the
police attributing it to the high cost
Of living. Mothers who are unable
to buv the proper food for their
babies prefer to sell them for a few
francs rather than see them die, it
was said.
Six cases of this kind were discov-
cred last week. In no instance was
more than sixty francs paid for a
child. Indeed, one infant, 2 months
old, was sold to a wealthy and child
less farmer for ten francs.
The courts are threatening the
most severe penalties unless this
traffic ceases. 1t was stated that the
authorities had traced the practice
of selling children to colony which
arrived here from the French Alps
since the armistice was signed.

voted to the action of New York IN
such a matter many years ago.
1t is the contention of the anti
suffragists that Tennessee never did
ratifv the nineteenth amendment
and that the proclamation by Secre-
tarv of State Colby was erroneous.
This contention is based on the par
liamentary argument that motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
lower house of the Tennessee legis-
lature approved the amendment was
pending and not disposed of when
the governor certified to Washing
ton that the ratification had been
ACCOMPLISHED. 1t is further argued
that resolution cannot be adopted
while a motion to reconsider 1t is
pending.
Citing the Authorities.
True it is that in accepted parlia-
mentary procedure a bill is not re-
garded as passed if motion to re-
consider it is pending. This rule has
the authority of congress, and has
been invoked frequently by the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives.
If this rule settled the case it
would seem clear that Tennessee
never. did ratify the nineteenth
amendment and that the proclama-
ton made by Secretary Colby was
erroneous. whether or not that proc
lamation could be annulled and the
error corrected would then become
a nice question of law.

S,s0s KILLED IN YEAR BY
AUTO, ARCH SLAYER


Washington. December 5.-A total
Of 3,S08 persons were killed in auto
mobile accidents or died as a result
Of injuries therefrom during last
year, the census bureau announced
today in statement offering sugges.
tons for traffic improvement. An
automobile accident death rate Of
I4.l out of every 100000 of popula-
ton was reported from 1919, an in
crease over every year since 1916,
when the rate was 80, and an in
crease Of 245 in the total number of
deaths ever 1918.
"Eeach year it becomes more and
mole dangerous for person to walk
the streets" the census bureaus
statement said. The reason usually
given, and probably the correct one,
is that the number of automobiles in
use is constantly increasing. How,
then, shall this ever-increasing dan
ger be lessened? The obvious remedy
* to improve constantly the traffic
regulations, to keep pace with the
ever-increasing number Of automo-
biles.
"lhis call for better and better traf-
fic regulations is not a. fanciful one.
Everyone is familiar with the neees-
sity of slow and orderly progress

fie must be slowed down and con-

SHORT rOErRcF IN
HIGHWAY ENGINEERING

al z
Vast sums of money have beer
made available for highway con.
struction throughout the United
States. Over three-quarters Of d
billion dollars was available for 1920
Less than two-thirds of this sum will
be expended. Next year and the fol
lowing five years similar sums will
be at the disposal Of the highway
departments. Such d program is the
largest that has ever faced the en-
cheering profession.
The greatest period Of railroad con-
struction was from 1879 to 1888,
when some &8O0,000,O00 were ex-
pended. This feat has been looked
mon as great engineering feat. and
it was. But when compared with the
highway program 1t only embassies
the magnitude Of sums available for
highway construction.
Before the war highway DEPART
ments were organized to exnend com
naratively small sums of monev.
With the DEVELOPMENT Of the hioh-
wav program these denartmeTts have
been expanded to naanv times their
former size. There Is hardly Il hirh-
wav department In the W i+ad
States that does not need q laroAr
number Of trained engineers. In Tn
nessee the highway deuartment has
given employment to all engineers
who have qualified BY taking their
examination and who were open for
employment. The program will be
further expanded during the next
five years and still more engineers
will be needed.
The probable need In Tennessee
will reach between Is and so men an
nually to care for expansion and to
replace men who who 70 into other
lines Of work. The engineering col
leges are not furnishing graduates
fast enough To meet the needs. 1t
takes four years to give high school
graduate sufficient training to enter
the engineering profession. There
are hundreds Of men, however,
throughout the United States who
have been in the engineering profess
sion for many years and who, If they
had small amount of highway train
ing, cUsai6 shift into highway work.
Speeiaa eraining should be offered
these men. A number Of colleges
and universities are undertaking to
do this work in their own way. The
University Of Michigan has adopted
special courses for graduate engin-
GERS. Other universities give road
conferences Of one week or more to
bring highway men together to talk
over highway problems.
TIE University Of Tennessee is
