FOR EVERY WOMAN

Whether or not the women of the
world succeed IN getting representa-.
ton on the Washington disarmament
conference delegation they are going
to have a chance to express their
desire for world peace in a way that
cannot but be effective.
The National Women's Trade
Union League Of America has in.
itiated a worldwide demonstration
by women for disarmament, to be
held on Armistice Day, the day that
the Washington conference opens.
" It is expected that millions Of wo-
men in every country in the world
will participate ia the demonstration
The details Of which are yet to be
worked out.
The purpose as expressed by Mrs
Raymond Robbins, the president of
the league, is to strengthen the gov
ernments in their desire to disarn
by giving unequivocal expression OF
the women of the world"
This is a call to duty that shoulC
challenge the interest Of every wo-
man, however humble her station in
life.

Sumter county remembers. And SO,
Sumter county viii erect a beautiful
and fitting memorial to her sons who
offered, and some who gave, their
lives for their country in the Great
War. The unveilling is planned for
Armistice Day, November H.
Quietly a campaign for making
the memorial possible has been or
nanized and today If is launched. It
will continue ten days, closing ON
Sunday September T. No funds will
be solicited. 1t was felt that it would
be inappropriate for such monu-
ment to be built by other than purely
voluntary contributions offerings
of love and devotion coming from the
hearts of grateful people.
The movements took form a few
days ago when local civic organiza-
tions named committees to meet to-
gether to lay plans. After some time
had been spent in the selection Of q
suitable chairman Stephen Pace con-
ecuted to act in hat canacty, and he

PERIL IN SAFETY

1t seems like paradox, but the investigators OF
Bureau of Roads their records or accl
dents show straightaway stretches that have al
WAYS been regarded as the of most motor
ing accidents.
The explanation offered lies in the tendency to
step on the gas when piece of clear and good road
looms up Around sharp curves, steep grades, at
grade crossings where danger is naturally feared -
erage driver be careful but nearly all VIII fall
victim to the of straightaway stretch which by
its inviting of security prompts him to take a
chance.
Viewed In that light, the reasoning seems sound
but unless the records of the Federal bureau diner
greatly the reported in the the facts
seem against Most of the accidents reported nave
occurred Just such danger spots mentioned per-
haps the motoring population fs yet far from
being perfect in the psychology of caution The TACT

JURORS AND TRIAL LAWYERS
Have a DISTINCT Influence
Over the Counsel.

Juries differ widely Charles Rus
sell used TO say, for instance, that
there was all the difference in the
world between English and Irish
juries, remarks the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. Irish juries enjoyed the
fun and the drama of u trial; they
entered into 1t all and appreciated the
cut and thrust; whereas English
juries were concerned more with won
dering how soon they would be re-
leased.
But there Is a characteristic COM
mon TO all jures. They have quite as
much influence, though in different
way, over counsel as counsel have
over them. One of the greatest OF
advocates, Scarlet, Lord Abinger, de-
clared that his success was due chiefly
to the rule he made of selecting one
particular juryman, not necessarily the
foreman, and addressing the argument
as if to him personally. He would
then work away till he felt that he
had convinced this man and could re-
ly on him when the verdict was being
considered.

HOw Gold Leaf is Manufactured.

/ Cold leaf is very ancient. 1t was
, USED in ancient times to cover the
statues of gods and for other orna-
mental purposes. 1t was then made
! by hand. 1t is produced by tine same
meas today, no machine having yet
been invented that will do the work
satisfactorily.
The gold used for the purpose is
p fara.s fine-pure gold being "a
karats. Melted in a crucible, it is
nodded into an ingot, which is rolled
between STEEL rollers until a ribbon is
I formed inches wide, Is feet long, and
! 1909 Of an inch thick. This how
ever, is only the beginning. Describ-
ing the process, the Popular Science
Monthly says that the above mentioned
ribbon is cut into 200 pieces of equal
size, each one of which is placed be-
tween two layers of vellum and pound
cd with a 26-pound hammer. When
the pieces have been pounded out to
the sac Of l-2 inches square, each
OF them is cut into four, making 500
pieces. These are pounded with
light hammer between layers of OK in
test;ne until they measure S IL inch
es square. Again each of them is cut
into four, and they are pounded out to
the same size again.
There are now 5000 pieces. The
middle part of each, 3 3-S inches
square, is cut out and blown smooth
with the breath upon a small sheet of
paper. The sheets are made up into
book, with the gold leaves between
them, and in this shape the product
/ comes to market. Sometimes allows
are added to the gold to give it color.
So thin is it that 100000 leaves rep
resent only an inch in thickness.

Some Good Advice
Strengthened by Shepherdstown Ex-
periences.

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. AT the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary dis
orders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a re-
liable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine SO we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask YOUR
neighbor! Shepherdstown people rely
on them Here's one of the many
statements from Shepherdstown peo-
pie.
Mrs. Frank Carter, Princess ST.,
Shapherdstown, says: 81 began 10 suf-
fer with kidney complaint. My kid
neys were irregular in action and
caused eannoyance in many ways.
There was a dull, steady ache through
the small OF nay back. AS had often
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, got a
box at HilPs Pharmacy. They helped
me from the first and | continued with
another box and was cured of the COM
plant. From the results obtained in
general, certainly think Doan's a fine
kidney remedy" Statement given De-
cember IL, 1867
On February 10, 1921, Mrs. Carter
said: 81 am glad to confirm all said
in favor Of Doan's Kidney Pills.

them for slight attacks with my kid

correct the trouble"

Giant EeIe

1t Is said there are cells no one can
land. Some years ago q giant conger
was caught in shallow water off the
shores of England. 1t measured 8 feet
8 inches in length and weighed l4s
pounds. Congers half that size have
been known to bite mans hand in
two and to have driven their teeth
through the blade of an oar.
In 1913 kakanamsku, the champion
swimmer of Honolulu, was attacked
by giant eel, which dragged him
under water, and held him there for
nearly two minutes. He ESCAPED at
last, but at the cost of a finger from
his right hand.
Eels attain an immense size in the
rivers of New Zealand and have been
known to attack bathers. In fact
many cases of drowning have been
proven to be where cells have dragged
the bathcrs beneath the surface OF
the water.
