Paris, July 6-A possible solution of the problem of repopulating Eu- rope with males to replace the mill lions lost in the war is seen by French scientists in the announcement of Dr. Tu-Se-ka-Ri, one of the most noted medical men of Japan, that parents can positively insure the sex of their unborn children by a very simple means.
 Several other "discoveries' of the same kind have been made in the past, but their opponents were not men of sufficient prominence to give their statements much weight.

The house with 6 pleasantly furnished verandah has a great acquisition and it al- ways tcmpts visitors. There is no task done in the house, from shelling peas or stringing beans to embroidery or stock ing darning but what can be accomplished in agreeable surroundings on the verandah. And there is always some thing unusual to see when one stays out of doors; larkspur, fox gloves with humble bees crawling in, but terflies. a busy robin, and perhaps an oriole.

National Grand AIIotmeaes.

National Guard allotments for
South Carolina for the present fisc~l
year give the state only few units
to be organized. AS announced by
Adiutant General Grant the allot-
ments are: One engineer battalion,
one motor transport company and
one coast artillery company, These
units include the entire allotment
from the war department, militia br
reau, for the state up until June 80,
1922.
General Grant said that several ap-
plications to organize battery OF
field artillery had been received from
different sections of the state and he
is trying to get the government to
change the engineer battalion to an
artillery battery. He has received no
definite answer yet, but hopes that
the war department will make the
change as it is believed the artillerd
unit can be organized much more
readily than the engineer unit.
General Grant, who has just re-
turned from his vacation. has also re-
ceived notices from the government
that he use of parts of Camp Jack
son as storage places for the guard
in this state can not be allowed. Use
of the rife range for the guard will
be permitted, the war department ad-
vises.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
FORM STATE BODY
AUDITORS AND TREASURES OF
STATE HOLD INTERESTING
MEETING AT COLUMBIA.
WANT A NEW PENALTY SYSTEM
Resolution Adopted Calls on legisIa-
ture to Provide Straight Per
Cent Penalty on Defaulters.
Columbia.


Severe attacks on the present tax
system of the state which was char
caterized as antiQuated and burden
some and the adoption of a resolution
calling for radical changes in the
method of penalties on tax payers
who do not meet their obligations in
time, featured the organization meet
ing of auditors and treasurers.
Following a two hour session in
the afternoon, which was spirited at
times by the discussions in reference
to tax matters, the association of coun-
ty Auditors and treasurers of South
Carolina was formed.
The afternoon session developed a
spirited discussion on several topics,
mainly the penalty question and the
matter of too much revenue being de-
pended upon from the property tax.
Both these discussions were carried
into the night and the penalty situa-
tion was hammered from all sides. T.
NJ. McMichael of Orangeburg offered
a resolution, which was adopted in it's
essentials after being amended, CALI
ing on the legislature to change the
present method of assessing penalties.
The resolution asks for straight 3
per cent penalty to be placed Janu-
ary and after 80 days executions go
into the hands Of the sheriff under
the terms of the resolution. The legis-
lative committee was instructed to ap-
pear before the proper committees in
the general assembly and to see If
this change could be made.
