WOMEN OF TOXIC ARE
ASKING EQUAL VOTE

TOXIC, Jan. Gu. P) - The
growing interest taken by women in
public matters in Japan is shown by
efforts which are being made by a So
ciety of new women" to secure equal
suffrage for women A bill has been
drawn up to this effect which will be
introduced at the coming session OF
the Diet.
As a matter of fact. the women
want even greater rights than are ac-
order men in Japan at present, for
whereas at present no one is allowed
to vote who does not pay at least 3
ven year in national taxes, the wo-
men want this qualification elimin-
ated in regard to them, as they argue
that married women who are occu-
pied with conducting the affairs of
their households should have the same
rights as women engaged in business.
Another measure proposes to do away
with the present police regulation
which prevents women from attending
political meetings.
The same organization of women
proposes to place before the Diet a
eugenic law, which will require all
men to provide themselves with med
ical certificates, testifying to their
physical fitness. before they are al
lowed to marry.

OIL FOUND BUT INDIANS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-(U. PD-
The new South American oil field is
bringing gray hairs to group of Y. s

have discovered oil in Bolivian dis
trict which is flanked on one side by
mountains three miles high. and on
the other by an unexplored land. in
habited by savage Indians. There are
several million acres of American
concession in this remote Bolivian
field. They are wasted unless the en-

A 500-mile pipe line across a neck

from the La Paz field to point on the

UNFOLDS A TERRIBLE TALE:
Captain Returning From Voyage to the
Torrid Zone Has Story CT Won"
derful Experience.

A terrible tale Of the torr.d zone
was GnfoIded By Capt L. II. Torrible
the other day Oh the arrival ol the
steamer Denis. which plies between
New York ami Manaois, 4 port about
1000 miles up the Amazon river. Tie
skipper vowed by marine and other
saints that never had he seen sights
So strange, according to the New York
Times.
On river which emptieS into the
Amazon, near ManaoiS. he said he saw
myriads of electric eelS SO strongly
charged with electricity that the broad
bosom OF the stream was flooded with
light ard the crew We're able TO read
their pocket Bibles by the glow, which
was estimated at 10 watts per eel.
When seamen brought some OF these
Ehigh-voltaged eeiS OH deck, Captain
Torrible said, the ships dynamoS were
short circuited and there was the dick
ems to pay until the eelS were discon-
nected.
But Skipper Torrible hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up Ut the
pier, 4 boy who was working with d
leading sang fell into the river. The
luminous eels surged around him, ana
when he was picked up lac was dead.
A physician who examined the body
said that the lad was the victim OF
an electric overcharge. Captain Tor
rible brought back with him d sun
dodging monkey, which prowled only
at night. He declared that the silnlan,
like an owl, was casual and ap"thetlc

REAL HUMoR!sT OF AMERICA
tn One Writer'S Opinion, the Country
Editor Is Entitled to Honor
of the Title.

The funniest things which are writ
ten and printed in this country are
not written by Irwin Cobb oi George
Ade or Ring Lardner. They are not
written by the professional humorlst
of the great newspapers.
They are written by the so-calied
country editors and notably by So
called country editors Of Ohio and
Kansas. We hardly think anyone
with real sense OF humor who reads
large numbers Of newspapers and
magazines and modern books will dis
pute this assertion.
Humor is merely the ability to see
and react Understandings to the
mirth-provoking side of humane nature,
which is not the least ample OF Its
sides. A humorous paragraph may be
grossly exaggerated in its interpreta-
tion OF. human nature, but human ma
ture must be somewhere down near
the bottom of it or it is a failure.
This explains why humor is SO much
more amusing, SO much more satisfy
ing than wit. Wit needs no human
nature as its foundation, it may be
simply ,ightning-like play on mere
words, sufficient to cause Il smile,
laugh perhaps, but none of the solld
comfort derived by the discerning from
true humor.-Ohio State Journal.

John Horne Tooke.

A renegade priest, who openly
sc0ffed at his calling and who led
life, to say the least, which could not
be called respectable, would not be
well esteemed as a private citizen, not
withstanding his learning and the IN
genuity Of his own generally admired
work, ''The Diversions of Purley.'
John Horne Tooke was born on June
90, 1916, and it was not so many years
after that he was looked upon as one
Of the political pests of the era. 1t IS
rather startling that all the pubic
questions on which his opinions were
demed mischievous have since been
settled in his favor.
Tooke was fined and imprisoned for
his opposition to EnglanQ's war with
her colonies. Twenty-three years after
his death reforms in the house Of COM
mons which he strongly advocated
were brought about. He was the first
prominent Englishman to proclaim the
advantages Of free trade, and his
biography may we'll be kept in view as
q monument to the futility OF lnt0ier-
ance.-ChicagO Journal.

Rock Has Great History.

A report on the Dome OF the ROCK
of Jerusalem is shortly to be pub

the Mohammedan world. 1t may not
be generally known that this place IS
the third in sanctity Of all the sane
tuaries of Islam, and indeed for a
short period it actually formed the
Kibla toward which all Moslems
prostrated themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations Of this rock we may men
tion that it was here that David ana
Solomon were called to repentance,
and on account Of a vision David
chose this site for his temple. From
this same spot Mohammed ascended

tourney from Mecca, and lastly 1t ls

THE TIME OPPORTUNE
FOR BUILDING ROADS

Columbia, Nov. 11.-Officials of the
South Carolina Good Roads assocla-
ton say that the action of the con-
ference of mayors of the state in ask
ing the governor to recommend to the
general assembly that the necessary
steps be taken to insure a bond issue
for the construction of highways will
meet with statewide approval.
"There will never be more oppor-
tune time for the construction of per-
manent highways than the next two
years." says the statement. "The
cost of construction will be lower and
there will be an abundance of labor.
The construction of the roads will give
employment to thousands who are now
out of work or who will be out of
work.
at is absolutely necessary that the
state inaugurate road-building pro-
gram on large scale if it is tQ keep
pace with it's sister states. North Car
olina has alreadv begun the eXpendl-
ture of bo1.> issue of s50,000,o00
and Virginia is planning bond issue
of s25,OO0,0O0. Georgia is spending
a large sum and is planning the eX-
nenditure of an even larger sum.
Florida is spending a large sum.

squarely up to South Carolina to get
busy. Next year will be the oppor-
tune time"
