JEFF DAVIS OBELISK
Is TO BE UNVEILED
NEAR HOME in YEAR


Louisville. KY, Aug. s.-The JEFF
ferson Davis obeisk, crowning monu-
ment to the president OF the Southern
Confederacy. will be unveiled June 3.
1922, at Davis birthplace in Fairview.
Ky, on his ll4th anniversary
The Davis homestead is about 14O
miles from Hodgenyille, Ky, where
Abraham Lincoln was born.
The obelisk, which will be IFS
feet high, is today within five feet Of
completion. 1t was planned originally
to erect shaft $50 feet, TO be excelled
only by the Washington monument,
but the jefferson Davis Home associa-
tion decided to hasten the unveiling in
accordance with the wish of confeder-
ate veterans. Anxious to participate
in the ceremonies, the thinning ranks
urged completion as soon as possible.
The work was started in 1917 and in
terrupted by the world war.
Profiles in bronze of Mr. Davis and
his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Davis
Hayes, one Of the most beautiful wo-
men in the south, ornament the base
Of the monument, which is 43 feet
square. 1t contains p room for relics.
The shaft is situated in Jefferson
Davis Park, which takes in part of the
farm on which the president Of the
confederacy was born on June 3. 1908,
less than year before Lincoln The
iark comprises about 22 acres. The
town of Fairview gains its name from
enc of the most beautiful landscapes
in the south.
Cost of the monument to date is
about 100000 which was raised by
popular subscription. Mrs. Roy Nc
Kinney of Paducah. KY, president gen.
eral of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy at the head Of a COM
mittee of daughters and Confederate
veterans, organized every county in
the state to complete the shaft.

So the doctor took look, and
thumped and listened, ~umphed to him

head, with countenance increasingly
grave. At last he said:
''Welr, my boy. I'm afraid there
isn't much I can do for you. I'm all

couldn't get another one anyway to

Protecting Home Brew.

By providing that homes cannot be
ransacked for liquor without search
warrants, the bill adopted yesterday
by the house does away with an evil
of prohibition enforcement that
prohibition itself.
By providing, in addition, that war
rants shall not be issued unless there
is reason to believe such dwelling is
used as a place in which liquor is
manufactured for sale, or sold" this
measure clearly protects home brew
ing and if that, probably homedis-
tilling too-from the activities of en-
forcement agents.
And on the whole probably that is
wise, too. Governments that get into
the way of infringing on the privacy
of the home too much are in a danger
Gus way. If reports are to be credited,
there is so much home-brewing that
it would take real army of enforce
ment agents to locate it all, even If it
is so much real violation that isn't
reached yet. Since there will be
home brewing anyway, abandoning
the effort to stop it will greatly reduce
the number of law-breakers without
impairing the efficacy of prohibition
Home brewing probably had best be
left to right itself. It is messy
operation, little favored by house
wives, with many failures and dis
couragements. Moreover, in a maj
ority of cases the result is pretty
miserable product, whatever the anna
teur brewer may try to make himself
believe about it. Probably if the gov
eminent turns its attention elsewhere
and passes up brewing as game
too small for its consideration, most
people will get tired of it and quit
Those who persist will be doing no
particular harm except perhaps to
their stomachs, and if they take adj
vantage of their immunity to start
selling their product that will be dis
couraged by the trouble that is pretty

The Poor Little
Painted Girl.

There is a type of girl perfectly
familiar to all American town dwell
ers. She may be seen dawdlings about
the streets, singly or in groups. She
is usually very young, but as uncon-
trolled apparently by parental re-
straint as by any saving quality of
taste. She is a travesty of vice. If
narrow skirts are in vogue, hers are
absurdly tight. II short skirts are
worn, hers mount to the knee. If
collars are loose, she bares her meag-
err chest and her assertive little bones
to every reluctant spectator. If hair
is dressed high she rolls hers on fear
Unlocking objects bearing the SYM
pathetic name of rats. If hair is
dressed low, she plasters it down in
scallops and eartabs. She walks
awkwardly, and without the spring Of
youth, ON her high-heeled shoes. She
has pathetic belief in the transform
ing power of cosmetics, dabs herschil-
dish face with crimson, and whitens
herself like a circus clown, without
achieving his cheerful and piquant vi
vacity. He, at least, has standard,
and reaches it. The girl has no stan
dard at all. She is a travesty even on
the clown
A boy possessed of the ambition to
appear lawless vagabond can do no
more than cock his hat, smoke cigaret-
ties and swagger. Those are his SIM
pie and restricted methods of seeming
other than he is, and they deceive no
one. Even the policeman eyes him
with contemptuous grin. But a girl
ha5~so many devices that she succeeds
in looking, if not 'depraved, at least
discreditable. To do that she sacri-
fees all the advantages that nature
has lavished on her.
There is nothing in the world more
decorative than a girl. Whether she
be pretty or not land she nearly al
ways is pretty to an appreciative eye),
she has the quick step, the fearless
smile, the charming indefinite out
lines, the angularity that is so differ
ent in it's itheness from the stiffened
angularity Of age. Poverty cannot
rob her of her charm. Vulgarity de-
stroys it at blow.
That she should know no better
than to coarsen her own delicacy, de-
base her own comeliness and stale her
own youth is inconceivably pitiful.
That, being innocent, she should aspire
to look depraved is at once, tragical
and grotesque The poor little paint
ed, plastered maid, in dirty slippers
and hat resting on the tip of her
nose, is at best an absurdity, at worst
confession of defeat. -Y Youths Com

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-

should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
