Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-06-16

Tom Watson, thecnew Senator from
Georgia, has introduced bill in Con-
gress to make Liberty Bonds a legal
tender for all debts public and private.
If adopted. as law, it would make
every Liberty Bond at once worth 100
cents on the dollar and increase to that
extent the money In circulation. But,
Judging by past actions of the present
Congress- there is hardly a chance that
the bill will become a law.

W%SSSS ~ Its area of
%G5%% 1925 square
miles is larger
than the combined New Eng
land states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown in for good
measure. Its name means
"Penn's Woodland" and was so
named by King Charles II, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemOration of
Penn's father, who had been q
distinguished admiral and on
terms of peculiar friendship and
intimacy with the royal family.
This grant was made in lieu of
$4,000, which the king owed Ad-
miral Penn. On this basis it
originally cost about 50 a square
mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that tbs often called
the Keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
because her name was carved
on the keystone of the bridge
over Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later on
it was applied on account of the
great Importance Of the state in
national elections. Its delega-
ton to congress totals 3S, Sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and. Pennsylvania
accordingly has 38 presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1852. The follow
ing year he laid out the city of !
Philadelphia, or "Brotherly 3

a biblical city in Asia Minor. AS (

Chances Slim For New Road.

From the present outlook Of things,
the four miles of Observation-Disclosures
v! c read, for which the State Roads
Commission on September lst awarded
to r. Flanagan to construct at a cost
of S1O4,84894, will not be built any
where in the near future, and prob
ably not for year.
The contract, which is conditional,
is based on the willingness of the
county commissioners Of Washington
county TO put up their share or half
of the contract price and the State the
other half. The inability of the coun-
ty, however, to put up its half, will like
ly hold UP construction for an indefin-
ite period.
The failure Of the commission to
notify the county commissioners last
January Of their intentions, accord
ing to law, is the chief reason why no
money is available. The Commission
actually notified the commissioners
on August 8 and on September lst
awarded the contract.
Although the county now has au-
thority to issue bonds TO cover the
cost, it is entirely too late for the
popular vote of the people. If the
State Roads Commission allows the
county the $4,000 credit due on roads
already purchased and have this apply
to the new proposed road, it is pos
slble that some method for financing
the proposition may be worked out
The type of construction TO be used
on the new road, if built, is sheet as
phalt, similar to the section from
Boonsboro to Keedysville, but it Will
have a concrete shoulder instead of a
cobble shoulder. The remainder of
the road, from Sharpsburg to Shep-
herdstcwn, is to be known as post road
that is, the State will pay half the
cost and the Federal Government half
when the latter makes its appropria-
tIon, il it ever does.-Hagerstow

THE BOYS DORMITORY..

The boys dormitory for Shepherd
Coilege-the former Entler Hotels
oeing put in order for the accommoda-
OF students, and some Of the rooms are
ALREADY being occupied. President
White has had force of workmen busy
the past month or two, and they are
putting the famous old hotel building in
excellent condition for its new uses.
Eighteen rooms are being fitted I'D for
occupancy, and about half of them
are now ready. The rooms, some Of
which are single and some double, are
all being repaInted and repapered and
are very attractive in their new garb. A
good quality of furniture is being
installed, electric lights have been
placed in every room. and the steam
heating plant is being enlarged SO as
to make the whole building comfort
able. There will be three bath rooms
In the building, in addition TO other
conveniences.
The apartment of the matron, Mrs.
Bette Boyer, will be on the first floor
the corner room-and what was
formerly the hotel lobby will be the
general office. The double parlors will
be used as assembly rooms.
Meals will not be served at this
dormitory. The young men who have
rooms here will take their meals in the
dining room at the girls dormitory,
where there are ample accommodations
for all.
Additional Improvements will be made
to the property as need for them de-
velops and there is opportunity to make
them. Inc old diningroom and
Kitchen may be made into sleeping
apartments if they shall be needed.
The grounds about the buildings will be
made attractive and Objectionable
features will be removed A sewer
will be laid from the building to the
corner of High and Princess streets,
where connection will be made with
the sewer from the college construct
ed by the State some years ago.
lhe transforming of this historic
building from a hotel to a dormitory
for the young men students Of Shep-
nerd College marks a decided change,
and Will, we are sure, prove to be a
most excellent thing for Shepherd Co..
lege. 1t provides very comfortable
and desirable homo for the students
who come here from other sections,
giving them conveniences that they
have not always been able to secure in
private boarding houses. The rooms
which they will now occupy have been
Frightened up with wall paper of the
prettiest patterns, with fresh paint AMI
new furnishings, and the place will
eventually be made as attractive and
pleasant as possible. The students
VIII have very comfortable home al
a most moderate price for board and
lodging, and we hope that they may en-
Joy and appreciate these advantages

Soldier Buried in Charles Town.

The body OF the late Sergeant Lit
tleton Tazewell Cordell, who was killed
October %, 1918, at Etrage Ridge,
Bois de Conseuveye, Argonne Forest,
after receiving five wounds, was
brought to Charles Town for a final
resting place in Zion churchyard, where
handsome monument has already
been erected at his graveside by his
mother, Mrs. Eugene r. Cordeli, OF
Baltimore. The monument TO Sergeant
Cordell has been erected for almost
three years. II stands in the family
burying ground, where his father, the
late DR.. Eugene F. Cordell, was buried
eight years ago. His father was a
Confederate soldier and his ancestors
took part in all the American wars. A
large gold star, with the inscription,
"Died in the Service of His Country"
will be placed on the monument. Ser
geant Cordell was one OF the first
to answer his country's call for volun-
teers in 1916, at the time OF the Mexi-
can trouble, joining the Fifth Regi-
ment and going to the Mexican border.
He went with his regiment later 70

and the body was taken to Charles
Town on Tuesdey and laid in its final
resting place.

Paying the Penalty.

The three young men from Harper's

who were arrested some weeks ago for
stealing a mail pouch from truck 1T
the station in that place, were tried
in the United States Court at Mar
tinsburg last week. They admitted
their guilt. The court, after inter-
rogating the prisoners, expressed the
opinion that Kerns, who Is 20 years
old, was the ringleader in the affair,
and he was fined $500 and costs.
Rockenbaugh was fined $500 and costs
and Schultz got of with $3.50 and
costs. Judge Baker exacted a promise
from them, in view Of his ieniency
in not sending them to prison, that
they would attend church and SUNDAY
school hereafter, would obey their pa
rents, would earn the money them
selves to pay the fines, and would
conduct themselves properly; and he
warned them that he would keep in
personal touch with them through Of
ificial channels and have them taken
into custody again II they showed signs

MS life resident of Halltown. was
committed to the asylum at Weston
on an order Of the COUNTY Lunacy Com
mission on Thursday. His case is un-
usual. 1t was at his request that the
commission enquired into his mental
condition. In talking to members of
the commission, he said that at tiues
ne has almost an uncomfortable de-
sire to kill himself or some memtc-s
OF his family. Fear that he may COM
NIT a murder while suffering from
mental alteration prompted the re.
quest from him that he be committed
to the asylum. For some years he
was employed in the Halltown paper
mill. For much of the time recentlv
ne has been out Of employment, and
this is believed TO have resulted
in mental disorder. He has a wife
and four children at Hal'town-Adyo.

BURGLAR AGAIN
PRONLS AROUND
Attempts to Enter Warren
And Bisbee Homes; Runs
Away Both Times

Notwithstanding the fact that sUs-
pect is being held in the Lowell jail
as being suspect in the recent bur
glaries. the mysterious one was out
ut work on Thursday. night or early
yesterday morning.
Yesterday morning some one tried
to enter the room of E. A. Tovrea in
Warren. Mrs. Tovrea was awakened
by Il noise i'm the living room, going
in there she saw a-man trying TO
get into the room through the Win
dow. She screamed and the man
made his escape. An examination of
the window showed that the screen
had been cut with some round instru-
ment in an effort to unlock it. The
marks were similar to those that have
been made in nearly every case of
buEslary. Mrs. Tovrea was unable to
give description of the man that
she saw.
According To reports, an apartment
house was also entered in Warren on
Thursday night, a pair of trousers TAX
en- from one of the rooms and Il few
dollars secured This had not been
reported TO the officers late last eve
ming.
On Wednesday night some one tried
to enter the house of Emil Marks on
Clawson Hill. The man tried to get
in several windows and was finally
heard by Mrss Marks as he tried to
gain entrance through the front door.
She got up and ran to the door, but
the man heard her and ran down the
road. She was not BILE to give any
description, either.

Familiarity with different menus
convinces one that the food on the
table satisfies the taste OF the adults
raher than the needs of the children
How often the only dessert is pie or
rich cake heavy with icing. The aver
age mother is, of course, too busy to
prepare separate menus for the chill
dren, so the meals should consider
the children's requirements for proper
building foods rather htan only those
that the adults ask for. Simple deS-
serts are much better for every day
than rich ones. The common practice
of permitting growing girls and boys
to consume a towering pile of pam
cakes, soft pancakes, dripping with
syrup and swallowed with scarcely
any chewing does not aldo growth.
Crisp toast which requires thorough
chewing, benefitting the teeth as well
as digestion, is much better.
Children should prepare for break
fast by first developing an appetite
through the means of sufficient sleep
in well ventilated rooms: and second
rising early enough to have ample
time 10 eat.
How To Prepare Diet
There are five kinds of food neces-
Sdry LOT proper growth: ldtS, cdTDO-
hydrates, or sugars and starches:
protein, which is tissue building; min
erals, which are needed for bone,
blood and brain; water, and a certain
amount of not too refined foods.
In preparing. the diet for each day
one should guard against the use of
either too much or too little of some
one nutrient, as one-sided diet is
too often the cause of malnutrition.
Habit and custom help greatly, be-
cause they are usually based on What
the experience of generations has

CLEVELAND, Oct. 7. - The de-

the night OF the murder with her in

DR.. Mary Swartz Rose says: Feed
a growing child properly and you
have helped to make Il good citizen.
Every child has the right to useful
body and mind. but in order to have
either he must be given the right kind
of food at the right time"
When we stop to consider the hun
dreds of thousands of American chill
dren who are undernourished, we
really wonder how the growing child
can accomplish all that is expected OF
him 1t is, therefore, important that
one understands something OF the nu-
tritiOnal requirements of a child in
order that the children growing up to-
day may be up to normal weight
standards.
The energy expenditure of all nor
nal children far exceeds that of an
adult and they need, according to
body weight, more food than an adult
Children performing manual tasks at
hCme, or walking long distances to
and from school, must necessarily
need more food than does the child
who has no home duties to perform
and either lives near the school or
takes the car.
Three Meals Needed
Three substantial meals a day are
needed and the fortunate child is he
who eats an adequate breakfast, a
substantial lunch, and a suitable sup
per. and under circumstances that pro
mote digestion rather than hinder it.
Children who have had two good
meals but show hunger about four
o'clock may have an afternoon lunch
