County Council Refuses Action
Because of Tax Middle.

The county council, by refusing to
appropriate $4,000, is facing a possible
lawsuit seeking to mandate the council
70 make the appropriation with which
70 pay for the paving of part OF
Emerson avenue leading to the Big Four
railroad subway.
The council will consider this appro
priaton at the September meeting as
the result of an agreement made yes
terday with E. S. Higgins, attorney for
the citizens asking the improvement
Three years ago the public service
commission ordered the Big Four rsil-
road to raise its tracks and to make
changes in the subway, which has been
done, Mr. Higgins states.
At the same time the county was di-
Tected to provide for a better approach
to the north and leading over to Elmer
son avenue as well as to pave the ap-
proach.
The county has acquired the right of
way, but no appropriation has been made
to pave it.
I'm the meantime Mr.. Higgins states,
1.-THE postal authorities have abandoned
certain portions of the mail route and
the travelling public can not use the
road because it is nearly impassable.-'
Mr.. higgins states that there is a
-AF9tO-4cel zap unsupported OAi
Emerson avenue and if paved it would
provide a north and south paved road
nine miles long from Thirty eighth street
to a point south of Beech Grove.
An appropriation of $4,000 is needed,
but the councilmen state it is impos
sible to make the appropriation at this
time because of the serious condition
facing the taxing officers as the result
Of the threat of the County Farmers fed
Grafton that the legality Of the Tuthill-
Kiper curative act viii be tested out in
tAs courts.
Mr.. Higgins informed the councilman
he did not care to be placed in a
threatening attitude but stated that IN
less tie council made the appropriation
TO carry out the order of the public
service commission probable mandatory
action would be taken in the courts.
The council deferred all action until
the September meeting.

PENSIONERS WILL BE
PAID IN NEXT FEW DAYS
Those in Terrell County Will Receive
Amount Due by May L.

Pensioners who have not been paid
for 1920 will receive the amount due
them this week. There are in Terrell
county AZ pensioners and they will re-
ceive $4,260.
The law requires that all pensions
shall be paid not later than May 1,
and one-half of the appropriation was
disbursed February 9th, when $685.
800 was paid to pensioners in SO
counties of the state.
Under the established custom the
pensioners in one-half the counties of
the state are paid in February and
the other half in April, thus dividing
the pension payments in such man
ner as to make them the least posi-
BILE burden on the state treasury.
TerrelPs pensioners received their
money in the first disbursement last
year, and under the custom prevailing
are among the last paid this year.
The pension appropriation this year
is about $1,250,00O, SO that about
100000 must be paid out before
May l to complete pension payments.

GERMAN U-BOAT IS
 JUNK AT CHICAGO
Other Famous Fighters Also
 SCrapped There

Chicago, June 1I.-Thcre is a graveyard of famous fighting ships in tho heart of ChicaRo's manufacturing district. In the Chicago river is assembled one Of the strangest fleets ever assembled on the Great Lakes.
 The submarine, once the U-97 and ono Of the brides of Admiral von Tirpitz. has little in its appearance to indicate it's war record of seven al- lied ships sunk by torpedo and gum lire and no one knows how many de- stroyed by mines. for the r-97 was a mine laver. On d2ck she still boasts n lons range naval rifle. but below is only n shell. Her main en- zines and all her principal working parts have been stripped out and shipped to Annapolis, where future officers of the navy will receive their education on machinery donated by the late imperial German government. The T-97 was surrendered at Scapa Flow after tho armistice and was one of i've u-boats allotted to the United States. She toured tho Great Lakes during the Victory Loan drive be- fore coming to her last rest here.
 In this strangely assorted fleet is the Essex, whose ancient wooden hull was designed to break up the SlaNC tTuluC oH tue AiIiNdh f'hNt' The Yantic was built as a yacht for President Lincoln. then remodeled as a naval corvette. Her most famous exploit was the vain attempt In company of the Proteus, to rescue Lieutenant Greely's arctic expiora- ton party at Discovery Harbor in 1883.
 The Hawk. formerly a yacht. was sold by the late Mark Hannah, or ohio. to the government at the out break of the Spanish-American war. She captured the Spanish liner AL fonso XIII. off Havana and brought her prize into port.

Children by Parcel Post

Queer things are sent by parcel
post, but the Postoffice Department
draws the line at this method of for
warding children. In refusing re-
cent application it rules that they
cannot be classified as "harmless live
animals which do not require food
or water while in transit" The
qualifying clause is important Chill
dren are live animals, no doubt,
using the word animal in its widest
sense, and they may be, for the
greater part, harmless; but on long
journey they would not be harmless
to ears if foodless and waterless.
The makers Of this strange request
probably had an imperfect concep-
ton Of the operations Of the parcel
post. They may have felt that a
child in the care of paternal gov
ernment was bound to reach its desti-
nation safely. 1t was once a common
practice to intrust a child who had to
travel alone to the conductor. But
with the development of railway
systems this intimacy between con-
ductors and travelling constituency
is not as close as it used to be.
1t might be argued, nevertheless,
that the transfer Of unaccompanied
children is task which a govern
ment intervening in private affairs
generally might be expected to un-
dertake. If the parcel post is not
feasible there could be "A special de
livery service by messenger, paid
for in stamps. Take your child to
the nearest postoflicc and be assured
that it viii reach Aunt Sarah in
good condition. But there is one
consideration to give anxious par
cnts pause. If our Burlesonized serv-
ice lost OF mislaid as many children
as 1t docs letters, Charley Ross
would have much company.

The Right to Haze

That admirable Solomon of West
Orange, Judge John B. Lander, will
receive general applause for his
common-sense adjudication Of the
hazing case brought before him.
Hazing may be, often is, too rough
and dangerous to be sensible or
lawful, as the record of accidents
and deaths at college institutions
bears testimony. But this case was
plainly not Of this description. And
having consented to the hazing, it i'll
became the victim to complain. A
few extra knocks or a little too much
tar furnished no excuse for taking
his wounds to court.
The instinct which makes humans
enjoy hazing is much the same as
that which makes them enjoy prac-
teal jokes. 1t is easy to find fault
with the coarseness and prevailing
stupidity Of such antics. But they
Si0ke d WHOleSOfue ana ClIcoIl VI
thirst in mortals, and in a world
given over to much seriousness and
many gray days they have a pre-
ciousness that counterbalances all
the faults that go with them.
We have never seen an interpreta-
ton of hazing by the Freudians, but
We suspect the repression theory
could be applied to these wild doings
in these days Of decorous civility.
We are not so far away from the
pranks Of Till Eulenspiegel and
Robin Goodfellow that we can live
utterly without them. The practical
joke played upon Christopher Sly
can hardly be dismissed as Eliza
bethan buffoonery. Not less hazing
or the elimination of practical jokes,
but more real humor in both activi-
ties, is the right path for an age
that wants so desperately to be re-
fined that it almost forgets how
to live.
