PICKET TO PULL DOWN
PRICES IN GERMAN CITIES
(By Associated Pressl

Nby ASSOCIdted Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Picketing
against unnecessary buying has devel.
oped in Berlin in an effort to reduce
the high cost of living, according to a
report from the American commission
IN Germany today to the Department
of Commerce
Attempts are being made to discour-
age purchasers until prices fall. A
slight fall in prices has stopped buy
ing rather than stimulated it, the
reporter stated, as purchasers are
waiting further reductions.

TELLS DANGER NICOTINE

In the Christian Endeavor World. OF
Boston, for Oct. appears an illustrated
article on nicotine by Robert s.
Walker, Of Chattanooga. The article
Is not one founded on theory or guess
work, but contains the results Of actual
tests that have been made to demon
strate the deadly poison found in to-
baoco. In the opening paragraph the
writer makes this statement: "A bet
tDr conception Of the poisonous property
found in tobacco may be had when we
take into consideration that there 10
sufficient nicotine In one cigar to kill
two persons II II were injected into
the circulation"
Krocker, one Of the first investiga-
tors to determine the effect OF nicotine
on man, found that 1t paralyzed his
nervous system and death followed by
the benumhing and paralysis of the
breathing center. Sollman found nico.
tine to be one OF the most fatal ana

The author goes on and enumerates
tho various experiments which have
been conducted and In each and every
case death resulted from paralysis, The
experiment when tobacco was used as
food was interesting. Nicotine ana

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
TO MEET SATURDAY

Much interest IL being shown by
democratic women OF the county In the
meeting OF the democratic executive
board Mt the courthouse Saturday
morning, TO which all the chairmen of
the city wards and county precincts and
other women who are interested are
invited to attend.
The meeting 10 called for II o'clock by
County Chairman T. Pope Shepherd,
and one Of the important matters to be
taken up at this time will be the plan
for getting the democratic women of
Hamilton county registered. Mrs. Joe
w. Gift. chairman Of the Hamilton
County Democratic Women's club, has
completed her organization, and II il
expected that when the books are
opened for supplemental registration
the democratic women will turn out in
gocdly numbers to secure their small
bits OF white paper printed with green
ink which will certify that Mrs. or Miss
Blank Is a legal voter and that her legal
registration number Is thus and so. and
that she is entitled to vote In all cleo
lions.
No woman can vote unless she is thus
equipped so the Importance OF register
Ing is obvious.
The women of Hamilton county have
shown on previous occasions their inter-
est in politics and have proved their
enthusiasm at the polls, and as the
coming election In November will give
them their first opportunity to particle
pate in a presidential election 1t is be-
lieved that every thinking woman In
the county will exercise her privilege.

TO arouse every mind to the danger

The lengthy article is concluded with
this paragraph:

ovERALLs AND THRIFT.

The overalls market is boom
inc and the manufacturers OF
these garments are due to make
killing.
The reason is plain everybody
is donning overalls to reduce th'
cost of clothing,
The greater use OF ovcralls VIII
undoubtedly have a tendency 70
reduce the price of the better
kind of clothing but the working
man who must have overalls win
undodubtedly have to pay more
for what he wears.
The banker and the congress
man. who can afford good
clothes, will wear the cheaper
kind, thereby enormously increas-
ing the demand for the same, and
the man who can i'll afford to pay
more for his working garments
must pay the penalty.
Is it real thrift? Is it econ
omy? Wouldn't old clothes clubs
be much more sensible than
overalls clubs? 1t is difficult to
figure where anybody except the
makers and sellers of ovcralls
will profit from the latest fad.

it is well not to lose our histori-
cal perspective. Looking back
ward, we can find many things
to Tighten the present gloom. A
writer who has been inquiring in
to the school system of half a
century ago reports these illumi-
mating facts:
Fifty years ago there was not a
piece of play apparatus in any
school ground in the United
States, nor a gymnasium in any
school.
Fifty years ago there was only
one educational institution in the
country that gave any attention
to farming or gardening.
Fifty years ago there was not
work bench, hand tool machine
for manual t.saining in any school
in America.
Fifty years ago there was not
a grammar school, high school,
normal school, academy or col
lege. possessing a laboratory.
Fifty years ago hardly any city
schools taught music or drawing.
Fifty years ago every Ameri-
can school required all learning
to come from books and ignored
the principle of learning by do
ing things.
We have made progress since
those good old days" The,
schools of that time served their
purpose, in a way, but it was a
narrow way. The exceptional
child absorbed the book learning
and made name for himself;
the mediocre child learned slow
ly, because he was taught unset
entifically,, and lost later in prac-
tice most of what he had learned
in theory.
With all the faults of present
day schools, their scattering"
and "smattering" of instruction, |
it is likely that the average child
gets out of them a better prepa-
ration for real life than his
grandparents did out of their
schools. .-Bartlesville Examiner.

PEACE RESOLUTION A SHAM.

The peace resolution which the
Republican bosses have directed
their party's majority in con
gress to is, as they well know
unconstitutional and must, under
his oath of office be vetoed by the
president. The constitution re-
quires that peace treaties shall be
negotiated by the president and
ratified by the senate by a two
thirds majority.
Because the peace of Versailles
was negotiated by a Democrat,
the Republican majority in the
senate defeated its ratification.
Republican leaders know that the
peace resolution they now plan to
put through congress by "Toad
roller" methods is a travesty, a
sham by which they hope to hide
their responsibility for defeating
a constitutional peace, and fool
the public into believing that the
president and the Democratic mi
nority in congress share the re-
sponsibility for keeping the coun-
Try technically in q state of war.
To such low estate has congress
fallen i'll its game of partisan pol
itics.

REDUCING THE DEBT.

During March the treasury de
partment accomplished a reduc-
tion of nearly three quarters of a
billion dollars in the national
debt. During SIX months ending
with March, the nations indebt-
cdncsS was reduced more than a
billion and a half dollars, enough
to effect a saving on interest to
the taxpayers of the country of
approximately $65,000,000 per
annum.
This record is so splendid as
to bring forth praise even from
the Republican floor leader in
the house, Representative Mon
dell, who admits that the treas
ury officials have handled a
frying situation most admira-
bly," but warns that "they can
not avert a disaster unless we
keep expenditures within our in
come.
Mr.. Mondell, of course. knows
that no money is expended that
is not appropriated by congress,
and that responsibility for wise
economy rests with congress,
where the Republicans are in
control.
The Republican leaders in that
body have been talking about
economy ever since they came in
to power, almost a year ago.
While they have been talking
economy, the government depart
nents have been pgacticing it.
