Alderman Johnson, of the orol-

committee had gone over the meat
inspection ordinance, but that there
were several points in it which ne
wished settled before he finally re-
ported the ordinance. One of these
was whether or not the city wished

curing that all carcasses brought
to Palatka for sale to consumers be

the ordinance. Alderman Waite said
that this would work hardship on
the farmers, and that he always
wanted to stand by the farmer, as
if there ever was a time when he
needed every assistance possible 1t
is right now. He said that a farm

of a beef and to require him to bring

tedious debate that the ordinance was

Acting Dean G. C. Diekman of the
College of Pharmacy at Columbia
University, in making this statement
said the college records showed that
women excelled in scholarship and
had earned more than their share of
class honors.
"In practical work, where neatness
dispatch and, above all, accuracy are
deciding factors, their record is an
enviable one," he said. 1.-THE old
prejudice against the employment of
women in pharmacies, excepting per-

GATHERS A MUSTY
LIST OF ANTIQUES
(By Associated Press. }

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. What
is described as one of the most i'm
portant collections of ancient docu
ments yet discovered, consisting Of
more than 100 legal papers dating
from the reigns of the Roman EN-.
perors Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula
and Claudius, has been brought here
by Prof. Francis w. Kelsey of the
University of Michigan. Prof. KEEL.
sey spent some time in Egypt in
search of records. The collection is
held to be important because it re-
veals tht life of the people during
the early Christian era.
The records obtained by Professor
Kelsey constitute part of the files
of record office in or near Tebtu-
his, Egypt, and were discovered four
months ago. They are written on
apyrus and are chiefly in Greek, n
few being Denote, They are be-
licved to have been covered with sand
soon after the record Office fell and
with few exceptions are preserved
perfectly.
The earliest record is dated Z A. D.
and bears the signature of woman
who agreed not to bring claim
against her brothers. Another rec
ord, of the same period, is contract
of common law marriage.
Among the other records are con-
tracts of sale covering both person.
al and real property, including lands
and houses. There also
are leases, agreements regarding
loans, a contract of indemnity, re-
ceipts for wages, a receipt for dow
cry, official orders, petitions to pub
lie officials, tax receipts, documents
relating to transferring ownership
Of slaves and part Of registry of
deeds.
What is held to be the most impor-
tant record is in the form of a roll,
more than seven feet long and writ
ten on both sides. 1t is said to be a
perfect example of an ancient book
or scroll of the kind mentioned in
The Bible, particularly in the Book
If Revelations. The scroll, dated AZ
A. D. contains on one side abstracts
If number of contracts and on the
other is a registry of the contracts,
written in the record office of the
second year of Emperor Claudius.
Between 10 and Is years will be
required to decipher all of the rec
)rds and to explain them in their re-
alton to Roman history, according
o Professor Kelsey. The UNIVERSE
y professor declared there could be
10 question as to the authenticity of
he records.
Another collection brought to the
University by the Professor includes
| papyrus book of II leaves in which
ire written the lamentations and for
nulas used by master magician.
There are charms and curses for va
lous occasions, one being love
harm. In the prayers God and the
ngels are invoked as we'll as the pa
an deities of Egypt.

GERMAN NORMALLY.
IS STILL FAR OFF.
SAYS THIS STUDENT.
(By Associated Presa.l

London, Nov. whiting Will.
Jams, formerly vice-president of the
Hydraulic Steel Company of Cleve-
land, o., who had spent several years
studying the labor problem by work
ing as a laborer in England and Am.
erica, worked all last summer as a
student in the mines and steel plants
of France and the Sarre.
While on a visit to London he has
just given some interesting inform
alton about the German miners who
are working for French owners and
officials in that territory now under
French control as a result of the war
Mr.. Williams stated he expected to
find considerable unwillingness to
produce coal for the benefit of the
French but he found no such thing.
The German miners, he said, are
receiving in France the equivalent of
more than twice the number of
marks received by German miners
in the Ruhr district. They are earn
ing immensely more than iron and
steel workers in German companies.
THE German miner is the cock of
the whole industrial walk in the
Sarre," said Mr.. Williams.
"a number of German workers
contided in me as mining student
working along with them that they
were better paid and better treated
than when the mines were operated
by Prussian state officials.
ut seems to me entirely probable
that the plebiscite to be taken by the
Sarre population about 10 years
hence, will make the Sarre either
French or neutral, like Luxembourg.
Mr.. Williams reports that unem-
ployment seems considerably less in
France than in Great Britain or
America. He attributed this in part
to the fact that 100000 French wor-
kers are still under arms.
In Germany, he said, the wages
nave hardly kept up with the 1000
per cent increase in the cost of liv-
ng. Peoples such as teachers,
small property holders, federal en-
'loyes and those in the railway and
post office service have been tire
nendously hard hit" because their
wages have hardly increased more
han 500 per cent.
ut appears to me all wrong to
ay that Germany has got back to
formal and is busy and prosperous"
aid Mr.. Williams. "The real fact
S that German mines and mills are

rising from a currency which is

COUNCIL DSCIDES TO PAVE
16 FEET ON DIVISION STREET
Continued from Page IL

Dineen took the position, however,
that streets are always paved ac-
cording to the travel over them and
their Importance to general traffic.
He said that it would be a foolish
thing to pave one end of town with
a thirty foot street where traffic is
unusually heavy, and where there is
demand for it and where property
can afford and to put the same class
of paving in another section of the
city, remote, where there is little
traffic and where property values do
not warrant it.
Alderman Gay ended the discus
sion when he made motion that the
street be made sixteen feet wide, and
that the kind of material to be used
be left up to the city engineer, the
street committee and the property
owners. If it is found that another
material than brick is satisfactory
to the property holders because it
can be obtained at smaller cost,
the property holders can select it
if they so desire.

Hawaii Needs Some

Honolulu, Nov. THE ancient Ha-
waiian belief that person can be

or medicine man has something in
his possession that once belonged to
the patient. still lives, it was reveal
ed here when Moke Kaiawe was ar
rested on a charge of "anaana"
meaning an attempt to pray to
death"
The complaint against Kaiawe,
said to be one of the best known
"medicine men" in the Hawaiian is
lands and credited with having ac-
complished some remarkable cures,
was made by Mrs. Frank Kalua, wife
of territorial land office clerk.
Mrs. Kalua, according to her hus-
band, was taken i'll about month
ago. She refused to be treated by
licensed physician and placed herself
under kaiawa's care, he said. She
seemed to recover until Kaiawe is
said to have cut off some of her hair,
when she became seriously i'll. Mrs.
Kalua, frightened, waited anxiously
for Kaiawa and when he failed to
appear on his weekly calling day, she
went to a hospital, where it was ne
cessary to perform an operation. She
is recovering.
The warrant and Kaiawe's arrest
followed. Much interest is being dis
played in his coming trial, the first
in the territory in years on a charge
of "anaana."

PAPER OF GERMANY
LESS FOR FREIGHT
THAN ACROSS N. Y.
EBy Associated PresE.J

Chicago, Nov. lit costs 81 less
to ship ton of newsprint paper
from Germany to New York city
than to ship ton of the same paper
from Niagara Falls across the state
of New York, R. S. Kellogg of New
York, secretary of the News Print
Service Bureau, told the Salesman's
Association of the Paper Industry
here today.
americas paper industry" Mr..
Kellogg said, faces serious compe-
tition from foreign lands not alone
because of the fact that foreign pa
per is made by cheaper labor, under
deprecated exchange conditions, but
also because of the cost of freight
shipments"
Figures showing comparative
freights between foreign shipping
points and American points, as ev-
idence of conditions confronting the
paper industry in general, were sup
piled by Mr.. Kellogg.
1.-THE rate from Hamburg to New
York and other eastern ports is 81
per 1000 bilos or 1854 per ton of
1000 pounds, and Sc per long ton or
$3.50 per 1000 pounds from Scandi-
navia," he said. Compared with
this are rates from various impor-
tant American mills.
"The rate from Watertown and
Glens Falls to New York is $3.50 and
from Niagara Falls, $3.50. The Wa
tertown rate to Philadelphia and
Baltimore is $3.50. Typical rates
from important Canadian shipping
points to New York are. Espanola,
Ont, $1,000; Grand Mere, Que, $3.50
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, $1,000; Three
Rivers, Que, $3.50.
"Maine-New York city rates are
not much better than the Canadian, |
the Livermore Falls rate being $6.4O,
and Millinocket $7.70. From Port
Edwards, Wis, to New York city the
rate is $11.30 per ton; to Philadel-
phia $1,000, and to Baltimore 5000.
America, even with the best, fast
est and most modern paper mills in
the world" Mr.. Kellogg declared,
"cannot successfully compete with
the prices of European paper made
and shipped under these conditions.
1t is the publishers who will suffer
in the long run, for American mills
cannot make paper to meet present
European prices, and Europe cannot
supply Americas permanent needs.
The normal result would be wide
swings in prices which are always
disadvantageous to producer and ,
purchaser alike in any commodity
where price extremes are found. :
at is better for the American user ,
of newsprint to have a dependable ,
source of supply at home at price .
which affords a reasonable profit to !
the manufacturer and thus encour- n
age greater production than to have
a temporary supply from abroad at !
prices fixed by ruinous unfair compe-
tition, which will vanish when world =
conditions again approach normal"

HATS OFF 1!

There is bad habit that the people
of Ocala and perhaps many other
American towns have fallen into, or
have always had We have been in
this town nearly thirty years, and
have not had much opportunity in that
time to observe the manners of the
people of other towns. but from what
we read and hear and saw before COM
ing here, they are little if any differ
ent from those of other places.
What we speak of is, that the
outward signs of respect and-sym-
pathy for the dead seems con-
fined almost entirely to their rela-
tives and near friends. The average
citizen when he meets a funeral or
when one is passing his home, shop
or other place where he may happen
tc be, rarely ever stops and takes off
his hat.
The writer accompanied the little
funeral procession of Aubrey Porter
to the union station Monday. He saw
it pass scores of people, not one of
whom showed any outward sign of re-
spect. Many of them stared at the
hearse and the people in the cars, but
the only man who took his hat off
was foreigner, who did so with a
spontaneity that showed his courtesy
was inbred.
The same disrespect has been shown
to other soldier boys whose bodies
have been brought home from France.
As their funeral professions pass, peo-
pie walk indifferently along the side
walks, paying no attention except the
rude stare of curiosity. Autos speed
by and in other ways a spirit of dis
respect for the dead and indifference
to the feelings of the bereaved is
shown.
We believe there is a good deal of
respect and sympathy in the feelings
of these seemingly rude people, but
| if there is ever a time to show it, it
is then.
Why shouldn't man in an auto
| who meets a funeral stop at least
while the hearse goes by. Why can't
one who is going the same way stop
! or turn out, and if neither is possible
he can surely slow down to a pace
that will carry him gradually ahead,
and lay his hat on the seat by him
Why can't every man uncover while
the hearse and the relatives and near
friends pass. Why can't we all re-
member that some day we are bound
to take the same ride and that it viii
add to the sorrow of those we love to
look right and left and see people
looking at the hearse with apparently
no more respect than they would
look at one of the animal cages in g
circus parade?
Isn't it time for Ocala to set gooG
example?

it is certainly most useful and should

was confined to professionals, but now
almost any business man or woman
can use the typewriter sufficiently for

write much more correctly, and who
in expressing thoughts can leave the

A New York policeman, one after
noon last week, got drunk and created
a reign of terror on his beat, locking
up more than thirty people in room,
roughly handling all and even strik-
ing some of them. He is being pro-
tected by his superiors. This is one
of the results of disarming the people.
A drunken officer with two pistols and
a blackjack can abuse third of a
hundred quiet, unarmed people, and
they have no redress. We Americans
used to shudder at the reports of
what the Cossacks did in Russia, but
there are Cossacks in every country
where the people allow themselves to
be disarmed. The people of the
Southern states have managed to re-
tain a few of their. constitutional
rights, including that of keeping
arms, and yet there is less brutality
in any four southern states than
there is on Manhattan island.
