ROAD HOGS MAY
CAUSE ACCIDENTS
FAILURE TO DIM LIGHTS ON Az
TOMORiLES MAY BE RESPON-
SlBLE FOR DEATH.

Several near serious accidents have
been caused in and around Columbia
by the failure of road hogs to dim
lights on their automobiles when
meeting a car The light is thrown
directly into the eyes of the driver OF
the approaching car, and as a result
he is blinded and does not know which
way to turn to keep from danger Only
few nights ago a serious accident
was averted in the city by the failure
of the driver of high powered car
to dim his lights.
Practically all cars are equipped
with DINNERS, and the law requires
that they be used. Even if the law did
not require the use of DINNERS, the
use of rodinary courtesy would. The
term road hog" is applied by decent
motorists to those who fail to dim
their lights as they should

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
The report of John W. Fry, treas
urer of the Tennessee Orphan Home,
read at the annual meeting of direc-
tors, held Tuesday shows the follow
ing facts: On May 81 there were in
the home 81 children, including the
forty in the home on November l.,

children.
Seyenty-six children were carried
through the winter. During the win
ter there were several cases of serious
sickness, but none resulted fatally
The Kings Daughters hospital has
cared for number of these cases,
and successful operations have been
performed by local surgeons. DR.. 8.
T. Harrison, of Columbia, one of the
directors of the institution has also
come to Columbia on several occa-
sions to make special examinations.
Report of health conditions says: $50
far as medical and surgical attention
as well as nursing and caring for SEX
children, the services of the home
have been 100 per cent efficient
II is shown by the report that more
than one-half of the children in the
home are of school age. Some of
them attend the city schools, but the
younger ones are instructed by the
ladies of the institution. Those who
have attended the city schools have
made excellent grades and progress.
The management shows that separa
tion of children from their parents is
discouraged, and the report urges that
the churches and good people of the
community should keep mother and
children together. In the home are
some children who have one parent
living. but such parents, where finan-
cially and physically able are paying
the cost Of the child's maintenance.
II is with pride that the institution
poidts to the fact that no destitute
child, or deserving case has ever been
turned away from the home.

The financial report on the instftu-
ton shows the value of the home
building to be $4,000, furniture and
fixtures to be $l,6221S. Improve
ments on the home this year have
cost $67966. The. home also owns

Through the efforts OF interested
brethren quite a large number of milk

added.
The conclusion of the report con-
tains the following recommendation.
The following resolution was unan-
imously passed by the executive COM
mittee relative to the ]. H. Courtney,
deceased, bequest:
Whereas, Hon. J. H. Courtney,
citizen OF Maury county, Tennessee,
and at one time member Of the leg
islature from this county. a man of
high ideals, member of the Presby-
terrain church, died without heirs and
left a will, giving to the Tennessee
Orphan Home one-fourth of his estate.
after his debts were paid. and certain
special requests satisfied.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the executive committee of Tennessee
Orphan Home that we recommend To
the board of directors of said home
at the next meeting that the ]. H.
Courtney fund be hept in tact as long
as 1t is possible to do so, as memo
rial fund, to be known as the ]. n.
Courtney Memorial Fund, and that the
income be used by the Tennessee Or
phan Home to develop children and a
record kept of such children that NAV
be benefited by the j. H. Courtney
Memorial Fund and that the same be
published annually"
Now, IL is the judgment OF your
treasurer. as well as that of many 9th
ers with whom he has conferred, that
II the Tennessee Orphan Home will
adopt the plan of carrying memorial
funds in separate accounts by aggrs-
eating an endowment fund, there viii
be many other wills made, giving 10.
the home amounts sufficient that the
interest viii benefit many children.

ALL STATE LAWS PERMITTING
SALE OF "HIGHER CONTENTS"
NUlliFiED.
THREE MONTHS FIGHT ENDED
All Contention OF Wet Forces Swept
Aside on Broad Ground That ConstI-
tutionai Amendment Had Been Le-
gaIIy Ratified.
(By United Press.)

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
WASHINGTON, June THE su-
preme court of the United States to-
day upheld constitutional prohibition.
The decision handed down by the SUI
preme court held the amendment to
the constitution valid, and the Vol
stead act enforcing prohibition means
that the sale of any beverage contain
ing more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol will not be permitted,
and the law enforced to the letter in
every state, regardless of whether or
not the state ratified the amendment
or not.
The decision of the court nullified
all state laws permitting the sale of
beer and light wines, and other bever-
ages containing .more than One-half
of one per cent alcohol, and dispels the
hope of the brewing interests that
their property might be used for the
Vi DCOi, lhuo >
losses due to prohibition.
The decree was rendered after three
months of legal attacks by the liquor
forces of the wet states, and was a
complete victory for the federal gov
ernmeat. All contentious of the most
skilled lawyers retained by the vets
were swept aside on the broad grounds
that the amendment had been legal
ly ratified, and that the states in so
doing 1t had given congress the power
to enact the Volstead law.
The constitutionality of the amend
ment was based on general princi-
pies laid down by Justice Marshall
more than 100 years ago, that where
state laws conflict with the federal
laws, the federal law is supreme.
A blanket decision was rendered
in the seven suits. The court consid-
cred all contentious of the wet forces
in detail. and then declared there
was no legal foundation for them.

sweeping DECISION is HANDED
DOWN BY SUPREME COURT MONDAY

Chief Justice White said that he re-
GREETED that the court had not seen
fit to outline the steps that led to the
decision. Justice McReynolds made
it clear that he did not dissent from
the opinion, but indicated that he did
not believe the time to be ripe for this
sweeping decision. Justice McKenna
said he dissented in one case, but he
made it clear that he shared in the
general opinion.

All former records for collections
OF fees on mortgages in this county
were broken when County Court Clerk
Archibald w. Lipscomb collected ST.
200 for the state on the mortgage
filed by the Middle Tennessee Rail
road Company to the Nashville Trust
Company. This mortgage is for ST..
100000 and is for the largest sum of
any that has been recorded since the
mortgage tax was imposed.
1t is the largest and longest mort
gage that Register Pogue has had
since his induction into Office. He
collected the largest fee for record
ing it that he has had. 1t required a
hard days work for Deputy Register
Pogue with his machine to put it on
the books. 1t was likewise a profta-
BILE instrument to Clerk Lipscomb
whose fee was only fifteen cents, but
since he gets 2h per cent commits
sion on all collections, the document
really netted him some thirty dollars.
May was the first month since the
mortgage tax law went into effect that
the mortgage taxes exceeded those
collected from the straight transfers
of real estate. But during that month
not less than S1,2S5 was collected in
mortgage taxes. The largest mort
gage recorded during the month ex-
eept the railroad mortgage was for
$4,000.

Thinks Harnessing Of Lakes Most Important
 Phase Of Conservation

CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (by Associated Press).-H. c. Gardner, president of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide water Association, in statement issued here, characterized the con- servation phase of the St. Lawrence improvement as fundamentally the most important of all'
 He said that the electricity gener- ated by harnessing the flow of the Great Lakes to the sea would furnish ,, power to ever city, town and farm stead in northern New York and New England He quoted estimates that within 10 or 20 years the annual coal saving would amount to 100000 900 tons
 Reviewing the proposal of water way from the great lakes to the ocean, Mr. Gardner in his statement said:
 of St. Lawrence for about five hun dred and fifty miles to Montreal, the mighty St. Lawrence river seems more like an arm of the sea than river At it's mouth it is eighty miles wide, and it is no wonder that the famous French navigator, Jacques Cartier, who discovered the St. Law renee in 1534, sailed back to France and reported to Francis I, the reign ing monarch, his strong hope that at last the westward passage" to the Indies had been found. Indeed, he seems to have been quite mystified by the situation developed when, in the fall of 1885, his explorations reached the site of the present city of Montreal.
 Above Montreal for the remaining distance, approximately one hundred and ninety miles up the rivers out let from Lake Ontario, the width of the great stream averages close to two miles, It is in this part of the river that there occur the great ra- pids with their total fall of two hundred and twenty feet and aggre- gate length of some forty-five miles, that must be overcome by the works of man before the St. Lawrence will become the untiring and ceaseless slave it is destined soon to be-.
 "The flow of the stream averages

 'lt is these characteristics and conitions that prompted congress, when it instructed the international joint commission to investigate and report on plan to improve the river so that ocean-going ships may freely enter the Great Lakes, to include in their instructions the making of plans and estimates for developing and utilizing the hydo electric pow CT which for all the centuries has run to waste.
 "The chief benefits of the improve ments assuming that the interna- tional commissions report will be favorable and that the United States and Canadian governments approve will be these:
 "The farmers and industries of the whole region that is nearer to the Great Lakes than to our salt water pol Io VIII lCdp IHC duN dHLdSO Ol lower transportation costs. Herbert Hoover estimated this as a saving of certainly six cents per bushel on wheat, and it will be corresponding ly as much on other grains. Over ninety per cent of all the many thous- ands of tons of meat products, lard @;1 ;1c hot exported from this country, are pro- duced in the central west, and on every pound large saving could be made by loading into ships at our lake ports.
 "The people of Northern New York and New England will be bene fitted even more than their western brethern, for they will not only have the improved transportation by water, but will have electric power for dis tribution to every city, town and farmstear. Their trunk line railways can be electrified, and they can ban ish the coal famine spectre. But fundamentally the COnSerVa- tion phase of the St. Lawrence i'm provement is most important of all. Where on our own continent is there a region that is not vitally interested in a development that will every year for all future time save us from the need to burn millions of tons of our "black diamonds" and use in- stead the white coaP' that bene- ficent Providence has laid at our doorstep? Some good judges esti' mate that within a decade or two, after the power demand shall have grown to meet the supply, this an- nual coal saving will amount to a hundred million tons."

FARRAR'S VERSATILITY SHOWN BY HER ACTING
 IN PICTURE SHADOWS

Never has Geraldine Farrar's won- derful versatility been shown so clearly as in her latest picture "Shad- ows," which played last night and is repeated for the last time tonight at the Empress.
 It's a far cry from an Alaskan dance hall to the princely home of one of New York's social elect. But Miss Farrar is equally at home, con- vincing and appealing amid both sur roundings. The support is excellent, and the detail of both north and east wonderfully accurate. It's a picture that attains a high standard of strong emotional work and dramatic power.
 Who has not read o. Henry? And who does not recall "The Halfbreed," one of the most delightful of his short stories?
 This story has been made into a film for Wallace Reid under the title of You're Fired" and is one of the best things Reid has ever done. Wanda Hawley is his leading lady, while Theodore Roberts has splendid heavy cast, and Ray mond Hatton, famous as a charac- artist, one of the funniest roles of his career.
 "You're Fired" which is "sure fire knockout of a picture" is to be shown tomorrow night at the Elm press, together with Pathe News, clever Monolog and an education al reel.
