HELP THE LEGION.

The public should patronize we'll
the entertainment which is to be given
by the American Legion tomorrow
night. The money is to be: used to
provide a place of recreation ana
amusement for the young men of the
town, in. itself a worthy object and
one which should be fostered and en-
couraged. One of the great prob
lens of the smaller towns, which are
without the Y. N, c. A., moving pic
lures and other places Of recreation
and amusement, is the problem Of
providing hn ! outlet for the natural
high spirits Of youth. This problem
the local post of the American Le-
gion is attempting to solve in a way
that will prove beneficial to the en-
tire community, and their worthy
effort should be seconded by all who
are interested in the welfare of our
young men.
The war has now actually been over
for more than year and as yet we
have done absolutely nothing to show
our appreciation of the boys who re-
sponded to their country's call when
the dangers of war threatened. The
entertainment tomorrow night will
afford not only an opportunity to
spend ;alpleasant evening, but to give
practical demonstration of the high
esteem IN ;S7 which we hold the service
rendered by the gallant young men Of
Lexington who were in the service of
the United States during the late war.
Everybody. ought to attend and take
friend.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
Editorial Correspondence.
Special to The Dispatch-News.

Columbia, January 20.-The first
week of the legislative session was
productive of very little. In fact it
was so short that little could be ex-
pected., However, general eX-
change of views has taken place
which may lead to results Liter on.
One thing that is pretty sure is the
defeat of the Anthony amendment to
the federal constitution granting
equal suffrage to women. 'tThey shall
not pass seems to be the slogan.
In the senate a resolution: has been
introduced to ya1ify the amendment,
but those who have counted noses on
this question say that il has not the
slightest chance of passage. In the
house a resolution has been in
treduced cu1ling for. the 'ci'etjcr Of
the, amen im.eht. Governor Cooper
has dec.ar.i "'mse.r as oppo-..i to
ratification. No vote on the question
has yet been had, but those who. have
sounded out sentiment predict that
the amendment will be rejected by
an overwhelming vote: -. -. ..
The annual fight to abolish the tax
commission will no doubt soon be on.
Senator Shelor of Oconee has already
introduced such a bill. Last year the
tax commission had a narrow call.
The house passed a bill to kill+it and
the senate, after a long-drawn out
fight, refused to agree; but not by
an overwhelming vote. If one works
by the law of progression, by which:
Cansler of Tirzah was elected rail-
road commissioner, it would be easy
to figure out that the tax commission
will sooner or later meet its Waterloo,
so to speak. Each year as a new
phase of the tax problem is taken up
new enemies are made, sc that after
a while there will be enough, prob
ably, to unhorse the commission.
First the commission tackled banks
and other like corporations and
brought on fight from some Of this
element. Then real estate was tack
led and the howl that went up from
the big landowners whose assessments
were materially increased brought on
the fight of last year, which came
pretty near proving the end of the
tax commission. This past year mer-
chants and some classes of manufac-
turing enterprises were tackled and
now there is a howl going up from
some of these But in the meantime
some Of the early enemies of the com
mission, seeing now that other class
es of property are being handled in
the same way as their own, may re-
lent and lend their support to the
commission. Anyhow, it is not likely
that the fight this year will absorb as
much interest as last, for the reason
that woman suffrage and good roads
will have a considerable place in the
picture.
And now about good roads. The
house the other day killed the only
good roads bill on the calendar, thus
wiping the slate clean. Which does
not necessarily mean that nothing
will be done in this erection. The
bill which was killed was one passed
by the senate last year and side
stepped by the house in the rush Of
the closing hours. 1t had been SO
I;variously amended that probably no
body knew just what it's provisions
WERE 1t would have served, how
ever, as framework for a bill which
would have met the ideas of both
houses, in this day expediting, the pass.

PATTY GIVES CONCRETE HINTS

Every particle of course aggregate,
gravel or crushed rock, added to the
mortar in making concrete as long
.- there is enough mortar TO bind
the PARTICLES together, ~ in the
amount Of cement required, which is
nowadays a most important item, says
Ralph l.. Patty, extension engineer nj
state college.
Concrete is made from a mixture Of
three constituents. cement, sand and
crushed rock or gravel, The strength
of % concrete structure depends al
most entirely on the proportion Of the
cement and sand, which is called ce-
ment mortar. This proportion should
never be leaner than three parts of
sand to one of cement for any farm
structure work.
The ours aggregate may be added
to this mortar as long as there is
enough mortar to bind the particles
together, and it is easy to judge when
this point is reached by mixing a
small batch by hand or by watching
il settle into the forms.
If a structure were made of sand
and cement alone, the expense for
cement would be very high because it
would be necessary to use n part of
cement for each three parts of sand
in order to get a safe structure.
While it is always safer to screen
the pit run" into sand and gravel
before mixing concrete, it may be
practical to use it for foundation or
floor purposes without screening all
