Legislators Put
Bible Into Glass
of Popular Books

st. Clairsville, Ohio, Dec. TO-
The Ohio legislature is credited
with making the Bible more popu-
lar in Belmont county.
Since the legislators last spring
enacted a law increasing the ages
at which pupils may quit school
scores of residents, desiring to OBJ
tain school certificates either for
themselves or their children, have
carried the family Bible to the Of
flee of George M. Pogue, county
school superintendent, to prove
that the party desiring the certifi-
vate is old enough to comply with
the law.
A novel reason was presented to
Superintendent Pogue why the
family Bible could not be procured
to prove the age of a boy who de-
sired to quit school.
The father, negro coal miner,
said that, while moving from Ken
lucky to Stewartville, Belmont
county, the family Bible was lost
from the wagon.
Superintendent Pogue declared
that such excuses are frequent. He
reported that Bible figures have
been altered. This assertion was
seconded by Deputy Probate Judge
Frank Kerr, who issues marriage
licenses. Deputy Kerr, however,
has birth registration data in his
office which he uses in checking
up on doubtful Bible records OF
birth dates of applicants.

New York, Dec. 10-Sonceiye OF
a COP wearing silk stockings and
yes 'whatyoucallies'!
These are only small though
possibly important part of the new
uniform worn by $500 policewo-
men, members of the reserve force
who have been ordered to direct
traffic in school streets here dur
ing the milk strike. While the
regular police were guarding the
milk the "irregulars" were guard
ing traffic. And did they guard
it we'll? Oh, my dear!
Clothed with full authority
and a police whistle-the yolun-
teers attacked their perilous
duties. Some of them were moth
ers, with hearts as big as their
waistlines; some were Young
Things as slender as hazel
wand ;some were bold and athletic
and some were subtle and synthe-
tic. But they were all very much
on the job, their police whistle the
symbol of victory for femininity.
On the first rainy day after they
were ordered on duty only a few
of the ladies put in an appear
ance. Many went to work with
out reporting to the nearest police
station, a mere matter of routine
to which no self-respecting police
woman could be forced to submit
If she felt otherwise. Some of the
ladies lacked raincoats and, there
fore, could hardly be expected to
report for duty on a cold, drizzly
day, when the nasty rain beat

Lieutenant Emily Hess and Ser

bundled in heavy mackintoches
and their nifty caps set on an

But Lieutenant Emily and Ser
geant Annie did not stand in the
middle of the intersecting streets,
like the regular traffic cops. You

Police department instructions
to the policewomen were: "Don It

feurs, although their language is
not always well chosen" ex-
planned one Of the new policewo-
men. 1--WE find that our greatest
trouble is with the school boys,
who appear to look upon us as a
huge joke. l have had to ask sew
eral school teachers to chastise
some of these boys on that ac-
count. But they will soon get
used to seeing us guiding traffic,
and the joke will be stale. We
have taken up~the police business
in deadly earnest, and while our
only weapon is a tin whistle, l
don't think any traffic law eyaders
will trifle with our authority.
And not single accident was

that Ria was in an ungoyernable
rage. She was showing to Herbert

counter. Oh, wished that I had

down on the floor with her head

sobs and tears: Oh. Herb, oh,

He went to her quickly and
picked her up and, seated her in

asked Ria, inquisitively.

you and about your influence on

he took me for a ride to tell it to

WAGES BIG QUESTION
BEFORE MINE WORKERS
AT INDIANAPOLIS MEET

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 1S-Dele-
gates began arriving today for the
biennial convention of the United
Mine Workers of America. which
opens Tuesday, with indications that
the wage question will be foremost
in the convention discussion. John
L. Lewis. president of the Interna-
tional Union, had declared against
any wage reductions, and the con-
vention will probably be asked to
endorse this policy. Present wage
agreements between miners and
operators expire next March 81, and
meanwhile new scales must be nego-
tiated by both the bituminous and
anthracite miners.
The international officers expect
that sessions will continue at least
two weeks. Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. is expected to address the
convention, but no date for his
speech has been set, awaiting def
mite word from the labor leader.

vancing eastward attended by warm

cd him haging to the rope, swaying
in the wind, as Lieutenant de Muy-
ster and his companion in the basket
slowly hauled him up to safety. The
rescue was made Just as the bal
loon disappeared among the clouds.
Aeronautic experts say that the ex-
ira passenger in the de Muyster's
car will prove a handicap to him in
the race as it probably will be nee
essary for him to throw over his ball
last before his opponents.
Owing to the direction of the wind
the aeronauts are likely to be car
ried over the English Channel or the
Atlantic Ocean. Some of the experts
think there is a possibility of the
landing either on the
Cornwall England, or Brittany
coasts and some are of the opinion
that the gas bags may be driven as
far north as Ireland.

BANGOR MAN HIT
AND KILLED BY TRAIN
NEAR CAPITAL CITY

The east bound train which arrives
in Augusta at e.3s A. NJ, struck a
man, thought to have been Maurits
Johnson of Bangor, about, a mile east
of Hallowell, Saturday. He was
picked up and brought to this city
and rushed to the Augusta General
hospital where he died about 10 MN
utes later.
1t is believed that this man with
another was in a box car which was
set off at Millikens siding in Halo
we'll, by the morning freight and that
the other man continued his journey
on that train. The gate keeper at
Winthrop street, Hallowell, saw
man go by on the track about 10 min
utes before the passenger train was
due. The description of this man
ITALICS with that of the man killed
and he would have had just about
time to get to the place where he
was struck. The enginemen on the
passenger train did not see him I'M
til he was hit.
He was described as man about
45 years old, weighing around $50
pounds. feet 5 inches tall. light
complexion but somewhat tanned,
brow hair, short sandy muStachc
cropped short. Identification marks
were a scar on the under lip near the
middle about one inch long and the
following tattoo marks Letters b.
n" above letters IN. j." on right
forearm; near this was the picture
of woman. about 3 inches long
letters M j." with two dashes side
by side with a dot between directly
underneath on back of right hand;
picture of woman much like other, on
left forearm and on back of base of
thumb of left hand. place which
apparently was an old tattoo mark
which had been obliterated. He wore
a black coat and blue trousers which
were in good condition before the
accident and black shoes with rubber
heels
In the pocket of the coat was
found a small note book and on the
back inside cover was the name
"Maurits Johnson, Bangor" In
little purse which he carried was
parcel post check, No. 1901 dated Au-
gust Q, 1921. issued by the Salvation
Army Hotel of Bangor. There was
no money on the body. 1t was hoped
to prove identification by this pack
age but nothing was found that
would help. From the description
given. local woodsmen believe it was
Johnson. The body is now in the
Plummer undertaking rooms await
ing a claimant.
