inc himself to his own particular line
OF sporting endeavor hereafter.
Last Saturday night Joe learned that
the ability to control the dice does not
necessarily carry with it the requisite
skill 70 govern an automobile.
It may be said OF Joe. in all truth
and fairness. that he is the Babe Ruth

throw sevens over a stone wall while
blindfolded and one arm strapped 10 his

on the machine. Perhaps il was a hy-
pnotic spell. created by concentrating
upon one object-such things happen
the psychologists tell us-but at any
rate Joe became obsessed OF an am
bition to conquer new worlds. He was
supreme at the dice, why not at speed

WOMEN ARE NOT
LIABLE FOR TAX
Women May Vote In Mississippi
Without Receipts Until 1922.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 5.--Inquiries {.
continue to come in from prospective
women voters as to whether they are
liable for poll taxes for the past year
and should pay such tax on or before
Feb. ! next. The Attorney General
has repeatedly announced that women
are, not liable for the tax of 1920, and
viii not have to pay poll tax before
Feb. /, 1922. All women who regis
tered four months prior to any gem
cral or special election can vote during
this year.
Recently a number Of women of
Greenville rendered their poll taxes to
the tax collector of Washington Coun-
ty, who refused to receive same. The
attorney general rendered positive
and conclusive opinion on the subject
in which he shows that under the
law the poll tx and all other taxes
attach on Feb. l of each year and are
assessed on that date. For example,
property brought into the state after
Feb. | is not assessable for or liable
for the taxes of that year.

NO MORE SKATING
ON THE SIDEW ALKS
Mayor Glover Calls Attention To
Ordinance Prohibiting Skating
On The Walks.

The kiddies will have to stop skat-
ing on the sidewalks Of the city.
Yesterday, Mayor Glover called at
tention to the city ordinance prohib-
iting skating on the sidewalks. and he
urges parents to see that their chill
dren do not violate the ordinance. The
ordinance also prohibits the riding Of
bicycles on the sidewalks.
Back few years ago, when the
skating craze hit the country, nearly
everybody went on wheels and the
sidewalks became veritablc skating
rinks.
1t became evident that the constant
grinding Of the skates was injuring
the walks and the council passed an
ordinance prohibiting skating on the
walks.
Now the skating craze is coming
back and it becomes necessary to en-
force the ordinance.
