Action Is What Counts

But thought or talk alone never
built great monuments to the progress
Of mankind. Action of constructive
nature is always necessary, if prog

better streets, municipal Improvements
of all Kinds. community advertising,
public rest rooms. industrial eXpan-

bringing the country folks and the city
people together are but few Of the
concrete. progressive acts OF Chambers
Of Commerce in all parts of the United

The Chamber has for some time been
trying to find Il suitable location for Il
rest room for women. At the begin
ming of the past year arrangements
were made between the city council
and the Rusk County Bank to use the
rooms in the basement of the building
occupied by the bank for rest rooms.
AS the bank makes no charge for the
use Of the rooms and furnishes the wa
ter and light and the city council fur
niShed all of the equipment we can
fake no credit for the establishment
Of this rest room. other than it was
through the efforts of the Chamber that
the bank and the city council were
brought together and the agreement
made. \ census takken by the Study
Club showed that on an average sixty
women patrOnize the rest room daily.
Paving
For the purpose of getting the paw
ing matter started the executive con
fcrred with the city council and it was
agreed that mass meetings be called
for the purpose of getting the senti-
mant of the people as to the kind Of
paving favored. etc. Two such mass
meetings were held and an agreement
was circulated among the owners Of

Blame the Dentist.

The gums more frequently lose
their strength and become feeble from
lack Of care, but sometimes a poor
dentist does much to bring about
Riggs disease. Ill-ftting crowns and
bridges are a great menace to the
gums and often result in the forma-
ton of pus, as do stumps of teeth and

Leprosy Not Fully Understood.

Leprosy is still somewhat Of a pug
zle to medical science, and the means
by which It is spread has never been
satisfactorily determined. The house
fly is suspected Of occasional agency
in the matter. but the case against
that insect has never been proved. In

BREWING In HOME
WINS PROTECTION
BY VOTE OF HOUSE
Proof of Sale Intent Now
Urged for Issuance
Of Warrant.

The House went on record yes
terday against any interference with
home brewing and distilling for
personal use.
BY a rising vote of 90 to So, II
virtually deprived prohibition agents
of all power to prevent the manu-
facture of all alcoholic beverages in
private dwellings unless proof can
be furnished that the liquor 10 be-
ing manufactured for sale
The victory for the cellar dis
tilleries and the kitchen breweries
came when q substitute for the
Stanley search and seizure amend
ment,' approved by the Senate. was
adopted. AS passed by the Senate,
the Stanley amendment prohibited
with heavy penalties any searches
or seizures by prohibition agents
without warrants.
The House substitute prohibits
the dry agents from searching any
private home without warrants and
then declares mo such warrants
shall issue unless there is reason
to believe such dwelling Is used as
place in which liquor is manu-
sactured for sale or sold"
Protects Home Brewers.
Thus, the substitute first pro-
hibits searching without warrant
and then declares that IL home
breweries and distilleries are not
making liquor for sale no search
warrant can be obtained.
Several drys argued that the
section as written would give COM
plete protection to the home liquor
makers. Representative Fields.
Kentucky, sought to amend 1t so
that a warrant to search/a home
could be obtained II there was rea-
son to believe that liquor was man
factured or sold there.
For strange reasons. Representa-

the radical drys. declined to sup
port him. Many members vote Just
as Mr.. volstead does on prohibition
questions and the amendment was
lost 96 to 81. The House substitute

HARDING SELECTS
LODGE FOR POST
AT ARMS MEETING
Hint That President May

BY ROBERT J. BENDER
Omitted Gevs-)

Senator Lodge. Republican leader
in the upper branch OF Congress
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee and member of the Naval
Affairs Committee. is President
Harding's first Senatorial selection
for the American armament delega-
ton.
Appointment of Lodge is at once
a recognition of Harding's keen de-
sire that the proceedings of the
conference be carried on in COM
plete accord with the U. S. Senate.
and of Lodges influence in the In
ternational aspects of the last Pres
identiaI campaign
May Not Pick Root.
Lodges appointment, as forecast
N these dispatches. was certain. be-
cause Of his position in the Senate.
What is more. his selection to tn
commission would seem to empha
size the impression which has grown
N well informed quarters recently
that Elihu Root may not be a mem.
ger of the commission. Secretary
Of State Hughes would like TO see
Root one of the negOtIators. He has
the highest confidence and regard
fer Roots ability. But Root sognd
I'd q discordant note in the Ias'
campaign on the subject of the
treaty of Versailles and the ieag ue
of nations. AS a result IL as now
reported. President Harding IL

ily settled until Hughes ana Hard

Naming of Lodge was received an
Democratic quarters with. some evil
Ience OF grimness. AS the chief

which Wilson declared constituted

.OCge.
Democrats. therefore. may be ex-
pected from now ON to prepare
their knives for whatever may be
evolved In the forthcoming arma-
nent conference at Lodges behest
Mention senator Underwood.
To as7uage this feeling, the i'm
preston grows daily that Harding
will appoint, a Democratic Senate
leader as the representative from
the opposition party. Senator Un-
derwood 10 generally regarded as
his first choice. Senators Hitchcock
and Swanson are others prcmi-
nently mentioned Friends Of Hard
ing. however. intimate that WILL
lam Jennings Brytn. one of the
original Democratic exponents OF
