My attention has been called to the
fact that quite a number of citizens
owning dogs have not paid their
license for the year 1920. The law
makes it the duty of every citizen
owning dogs to pay license on same,
a duty is imposed on every citizen to
report parties owning dogs and who
fail to pay license. Quite a number

AMERICANS AHEAD
IN USE OIL FUEL
For Ships-TOday For Shipping There
Is No Doubt Oil Is Cheaper Fuel
Than Coal.
Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 5-"Americans are
long way ahead of US in the use of
oil for ships" said ]. H. Williams, an
expert on marine engineering at re
cent meeting of the Institute of Mar
inc Engineers. "There is hardly an
American ship coming over today that
is not burning OIL" he proceeded
To-day for shipping there is not the
slightest doubt that oil is a cheaper
fuel than coal. There are many
ports today where oil is half the price
of coal. In South America oil is dis
placing the coal very rapidly. Oil can
be obtained out East in practically
every big port. Wherever coal is
dear, oil will displace it. We are bar
barians if we used coal today. AS
scientific men, we should use oil which
is coming into it's own and has tre-
mendous future.

THE FORTHCOMING
TOURISTS SEASON
Expected By France To Have Effect
of AmeliOrating Condition of French
Exchange On America.
Associated Press

PARIS, March 5-The Forthcoming
to have considerable effect toward
ameliorating the unfavorable condi-
tion of French exchange on Ameri-
ca. Nevertheless the questions of
providing transportation and hotel ac-
commodations here are causing some
misgivings and hotel keepers gener-
ally are bewailing the limited means
of bringing visitors to France.
Dal Piaz, director of the Transat-
lantic Company, has expressed his op-
inion that the number of Americans
desiring to visit France in the COM
ing season will far surpass the trans
portation facilities, but that this will
be relieved by the putting into SER
vice of passenger vessels now under
construction principally in England
bfore the French hotels have been or
ganized to receive the expected influx
of foreign visitors.
The warning the Americans "are
terribly exacting" as regards COM
fort in hotels and as to their manage
ment is given by Victor Cambon, an
engineer who knows America we'll. He
says:
at is not only the rich who desire
refinement in hotels but all Ameri-
cans.'
! Mr.. Cambon asserts that, outside of
Paris and resorts like Vichy, Nice and
Deauville, it is impossible to find five
! good hotels in all France even if towns
/ like Lyons, Marseilles, and Rouen are
included.
"Americans," he adds, "do not want
luxury; all they ask is perfect clean
illness, no greasy smells, comfort and
! hygiene. Where can you find that
among US? Nowhere is there very
much of it but everyhewere there is
/ one thing, our cooking. That is GER
tainly much but. frankly, it is not
enough"

Miss Mary Shiel
Arrives Vicksburg
Vicksburg Post, March End.


Miss Mary Shiel, for some time sup
erintendent of nurses at the Charity
Hospital is in the city preparatory to
taking up her duties as public health
nurse for the city.
1t will be recalled that the ladies
of the Civic League in injunction
with the Red Cross Chapter has been
contemplating for sometime, the en-
erous efforts along those lines have
been made without results until the
present time.
Miss Shiel comes direct from the
Kings Daughters hospital at Green
wood where she has been serving as
superintendent for some time, and is
thoroughly equipped for the work in
hand, having been in the public health
department of New York City previous
to her coming to Vicksburg some
years ago.
The new nurse will sepnd a few days
in getting thoroughly acquainted with
local conditions, calling on the physi-
clans of the city and comforting with
them in connection with her new du-
ties and as soon as her equipment ar
rives will be ready for duty.
Mrs. M. H. Bell, president Of the
Civic League, and herself a trained
nurse of wide experience, will assist
Miss Shiel in getting acquainted with
our school teachers and others who
may offer her assistance and cooper
alton and the two ladies will shortly
make visit to all of our schools to-
gether.
! The coming of Miss Shiel will also
be expected to furnish valuable assls-
tance to DIR. Myers, city and county
health officers, and she will doubtless
prove of inestimable assistance to the
Home Service section of the Red Cros:
in caring for those who are i'll or II
need of assistance in health matters.
Of Miss Shells ability, but little
need be said, for she made a splendit
record while serving with DR.. B. b
Martin at the hospital some years ag'
Popular with our citizens and thor
eughly capable there is every reaso'
to expect very pleasing results from
her administration. For. the presen
she will make her home with tn
Brooke family on south Cherry street
and may feel sure of hearty welcom
!; from everyone in the community.

Use OF The Red Flag
Prohibited AS Emblem
Associated Press

SAN JUAN, P. R., Mar. 5-The
federal grand jury has presented to
Judge Hamilton a resolution asking
that the use of the Red flag as an
emblem in public should be absolutely
prohibited on this island. The jury
requested that the authorities take
steps to prevent the carrying Of the
flag in possessions or it's display in
public places. It declared that the
Red Flag was universally recognized
as the emblem of anarchy always en-
ployed to incite disorders" and that
it was being freely used here.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
by Abe Silver.)

NEW ORLEANS, La, March g.
: The large decline in Liverpool today
of nearly 20 points in futures and
spots prices forty down, was preferen-
italy explained on the ground Of ad-
vance in the sterling rate which this
morning was quoted to 3.65 but there
Is hardly a question that the general
policy of price adjustment to former
normals and weakened technical con-
ditions owing to straddle liquidation
and other covering, find expression in
the reactionary action. New York
says the big advance in sterling and
others exchange rates surprise. Was
recalled that foremost international
banks began buying London bills IN
large amounts last week. Some re-
port that movement foreshadows ex-
tensive gold exports from London to
this country but in we'll informed cir
cles this is doubted as latest advices
from London report tighter money
and point stronger to an early advance
in tn ediscount rates of the bank OF
England.
The advance in sterling rates could
be due to the limit economy announc-
ed by the British government and the
| more discriminatory attitude of the
hanks. The advance therefore may not
mean an increase of greater proper
| ton in Liverpool import demand. The
dry goods report says cotton goods
and yarns quiet with small conces-
sions made in prices.
