STILL DUEL AT HEIDELBERG

Heidelberg, Germany-Sword duel- ling in the University of Heidelberg is as popular and as common today as it was more than 500 years ago, when the oldest of German schools was founded Virtually every student who has passed the first year wears a sword scar on the left side of his chin or the left cheek or a bandaged head, which adyertise that the scar is in the making. Duels do not always arise from anger or quarrels, but out of necessity of providing the student with the diploma of sword prowess, or to give him sword practice. which affords the students great delight. They are sometimes arranged, like a boxing bout by fraternities which have developed certain differences of opinion. F'iVe-round duels are pop ular
 Surgeons stand by to sew up the wounds after each round. which us- l ually lasts minute" said a Heidel- 1 berg man, who woe a deep scar on his chin. If neither student is badly damaged the fight will go the full number oS rounds decided upon, after | which the stitches the surgeons have i taken will be counted, and the man with the fewest stitches will be de- l clared the winner
 | s'ilOQiu any lIlt I'll | counter a combatant dodge a sword | stroke his opponent is immediately declared winner. That is the unfor | givable thing in the students duel | ling code-to dodge stroke" Except infrequent combats between older students when heavy swords are used, duelling in Heidelberg is not ! dangerous. The heads and necks of
 the fighters and the abdomen are protected by leather guards.
 Some of the favorite duelling places are ancient cafes and beer rooms, the floors of which are always covered i with sand, the walls lined with huge
 mugs and hung with engravings, old pictures, and trophies of the fight l These places are sacred to students, and it would be a serious offense 1 against custom of half a thousand years for stranger to wander in and i sit down in some storied chair
 The university is still a law unto itself, and the civil authorities of the
 town of Heidelberg, never under any
 pretext, interfere in student affairs. ! Punishment is administered to refrac-
 tory students by university authori-
 ties. The university 'jail' is now in
 the top story of the building. It is a
 custom for the student confined in
 one of these cells to leave his name
 and the date of his Imprisonment
 written on the walls.-New York

Washington, October S.-(Special.) As a result of the charges of Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee that the re- publican national committeeman of that state, John W. overall, had "trafficked" in federal, patronage. C. H. Huston. assistant seeretary of commerce, has been made referee for the President In that state. it is learned today
 The Overall affair was cited yes- terday by publicity of the democratic nationsl committee, as one of the six scandals" with which the Harding administration had been afflicted. Mir. Overall is presently in Washing ton endeavoring to straighten out his affairs, and explain the matter on which Senator McKellar based his charges,
 The charges, in a general way. were to the effect that from prospective appointees overall had received money which. it was said, he claimed was turned over to the national re- publican committee to defray it's ex- penses and wipe out it's deficit Some weeks ago overall, visiting Wash ington. gave an interview to corre- spondents of Tennessee newspapers, it is said. in which he defended him self against the McKellar charges. In his answer. formally filed with re- publican authorities in Washington, to the McK ellar charges, MT. Overall declared it Is reported, that he had not given a statement to members of the press. Complications will de- Velop, it is understood, as result or the fact that one of the correspond ents retained copy of his report. which contained interlinear correc- tions made by overall.
 The designation of Huston as ref cree in Tennessee does not mean, It is explained, that the powers that be" have jumped to the conclusion that overall is guilty under the Nc Kellar charges, but that in view Of the chaotic situation, it was deemed advisable to make change.

Tax Exemption

Birmingham Post No. 1 has made 1t possible for great number of ex-service men to vote in the mu- nicipal election of October 10 by making known a provision of the law which enables persons with per nanent physical disability, and who do not pay taxes on as much as $500 worth of property to vote without paying poll tax. and assisting the fel- lows in getting the necessary cer- tificates to quality them to vote.
 The legislature of 1919 attempted to exempt ex-service men from the payment of poll tax. The amendment to the constitution which it enacted was improperly submitted to the peo pie for ratification. That legislature provided that the governor should call and set the date of the election for the ratification of the amendment. The constitution expressly provides that such measures shall be passed upon by the people at an election. the date of which is set by the legislature itself. So when the su : preme court was called upon to pass Judgment on the validity of the poll tax amendment It could not do other than declare it unconstitutional, which it did, June 30. 1921
