January, 1915, and to draw up new
rules and regulations in connection
with automobiles and all kinds OF
motor vehicles in operation on the
island for Incorporation in the

18th. March, 1921.
1st Member for Frederiksted Town
(COuLter) in introducing the resolution
said-Mr Chairman, -Ghave forwarded
this resolution in the hope that this Coun-
Gil will give it consideration, and agree
to the appointment of the commission
asked for.
The reason | have brought this matter
forward now is, because there are a few
matters with regard to the existing
Police Regulations which need REVISION,
and there are some few which need TO be
added to the Police Regulations. Not
very long ago, during a discussion IN this
Council concerning the Sanitary Regular
tons, the question as to the. sale OF nsn
on the public streets disclosed the fact,
that if the restrictions of the Police
Regulations on that question were not
contrary to the Ordinance OF l-th July,
1911, concerning Trades and Occupations
in St. Croix they were certainly not IN
harmony with it. Then again, there are
one or two matters concerning which,
there are doubts if they are quite in &C
cord with the Code of Laws recently
passed. There are such questions IN
Connection with motor vehlcular tratflc as
follows: viz: License for chatfeurs. n
fee for same, a standard size for number
boards for automobiles, and motor trucks
and t~raiIers, the light for same and gener-
al rules and regulations to control such
traffic in the Island. We have regula,
tons made by the former Director OF
Police concerning the use of motor
trucks and t~railers, but they are not in
corporated in the Police Regulations, and
they should be. At present automo-
biles are running with number boards
of sizes varying from AKA to II "xl4"
and all kinds of lights hanging on be-
hind from the ordinary hurricane Ian
terms to a large carriage lamp. All this
should not be,-there should be a stand
ard size number board of q certain
color, with letters and figures OF a INK
ed size and color, and these should be
made and supplied by the Police Depart

owner of the vehicle when he comes to re-

CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WALL
Certain Species Equipped With a Pe
cullar Suction Apparatus That
Makes Feat Really Easy.

An interesting account Of the climb
ing catfish of Colombia (Arges mar
moratus) was published a few years
ago by R. D. o. johnson. These fish
can climb, by means of suction ap-
paratus, not only up the steeply-in-
clined bed of mountain torrent, but
even up a smooth, vertical surface
Mr.. johnson saw some of them climb
a vertical distance of IS feet In halt
an hour, up a wall of rock over which
trickled a thin film Of water.
In connection with recent publica.
ton of this article, G. K. Noble states
that other species of fish are known to
climb in the same manner. Several OF
these occur in the Himalaya. Nema.
chilus rupicola, and perhaps other spe-
cies of mountain cyprinids, adhere to
the rocks by means of their smooth
ventral skin and enlarged lips. The
silurid genera Pseudecheneis and
Glyptosternum cling by means of a
well-deveioped abdominal sucker.
The mountain torrents Of the Hima-
Iaya form the nursery for many spe-
cies of frogs. Their tadpOles, like
the fish, have become adapted to their
location; some cling by means of their
lips and ventral musculature, while
others possess a well-developed ven-
tral sucker-Scientific American.

Armenia First Christian Nation.

The Armenians are an Aryan race
and probably emigrated from Europe
into Asia Minor centuries before the
Christian era. Their language be-
longs to the Indo-EurOpean group of
languages. Their king was converted
to Christianity as early as 301 A D.,
and Armenia then became the first
Christian nation. of the world. The
Armenian civilization has been estab-
lished for centuries. The position of
the country on the highway between
Asia and Europe has subjected it to
invasion and subjugation at various
periods by the Assyrians, Medes,
Greeks, Romans, Persians and Turks.
From the Fourteenth century to the
late war, the greatest part of Armenia
was under Turkish rule. Their en-
nifty to the Turks rises from their
struggles as a nation to be free, which
have frequently been accompanied by
massacres of ArmenianS. Americas S
interest arises from sympathy with an
oppressed race that has for so long
upheld Christian civilization in the
Near East,

Paris Mode Permits of Broad Indi-
ViduaIism in Selection of Gar
ments for Formal Wear.

From the spring openings in Paris
comes the report that the style for
evening gowns continues to be "eclec-
tiuue," which being interpreted into
crude American slang means each fel-
low for himself and each in his own
way. There is much to be said in
favor of this, for it gives a large va
riety from which to make a choice
and 1t allows that trend toward indi-
vidualism in dress to have full and
uninterrupted sway. The Partisan
designer this season, it seems, has ac-
complished every manner of style and
has drawn for his ideas upon every
source of inspiration.
Poiret for instance, has done a
great deal in the way of Spanish eve
ming gowns which show panniers bulg-
ing out over the hips in many and
voluminous folds. A frequent decol-
lete is termed "The Empress Eu-
genie" and when the sort of gown is
c11t very low, as it often is, there are
delicate metal chains used to slip over
the shoulders and to hold the gown in
place. At this house, too, there IS to
he seen another evening fashion which
discloses completely one shoulder and
which has a point of the draped fab
ric reaching over the other shoulder,
leaving the back quite free from COW
ering. Over the uncovered shoulder a
strap slips to hold the gown in place.
It is the evening gown which was
best liked in Paris during the winter
season and which Poiret has seen fit

Cough May Originate In Stomach.

In the Bulletin de la Societe Medl-
cal of Paris, DR.. G. G. Hayen de-
scribes a patient, a man of fifty-three,
who for twenty-five years had had
vague dyspeptic disturbances for which
he had taken pounds of sodium
bicarbonate and other drugs in the
course of the years. During the last
six years he had been tOrmented with
a cough and splitting of thick mucus
from the stomach. Under treatment
of the dyspepsia by lavage of the
stomach and dieting, the cough dis
appeared. Hayen reiterates the ne
cessity for seeking latent stomach dis
ease with a puzzling cough, and also
the necessity with chronic gastritis to
restrict TO two meals day, with a
nine-hour interval.

Phyllistines !"
The dancing tried to be as naughty
as that remarkable Phyllistinian pas
time at the mansion of the Bings and
succeeded we'll, if not handsomely.
The modern dances and dress were
now definitely established in Bing-
vile.
Just before the holidays, the extern
sion of the ample home of the million
aire was decorated, furnished ana
ready to be shown. Mrs. Bing and
Phyllis, who had been having fling
in New York, came home for the hoIl-
days. John arrived the next day from
the great Padelford school to be with
the family through the winter recess.
Mrs. Bing gave tea to the ladies OF
BingvilIe. She wanted them to see
the improvements and become aware
of her good will. She had thought OF
an evening party, but there were many
men In the village whom she didn't
care to have in her house. So it be-
came a tea.
The women talked of leaking roofs
and water pipes and useless bathrooms
and outrageous costs. Phyllis sat in
the palm room with the village girls.
1t happened that they talked mainly
about their fathers. Some had COM
planned of paternal strictness.

Some of the girls smiled and looked
into one another's eyes.
There had been a curious undercur7

BRACELETS STILL IN FAVOR
Arm Decorations Are Often of Com
binations of Ivory and Tor
tose Shell.

Bracelets are still in high favor with
the fashionably attired woman. Many
are worn together, but they need not
be of the same metal or enriched with
similar Jewels. When two are used OF
one arm very often the combination
of one ivory bracelet and one of tor.
toise shell is noted.
Another type of bracelet is that
made of tiny pearl beads strung on a
small chain. Such bracelets may be
of great length, for they are wound
around the arm number Of times
and fastened at the wrist.
Egyptian and oriental motifs are
shown in the new neck chains. The
pendants are limitations of the scarab

they are attached often match these

are both large and small in shape.

THE PETITE ROBE
Partisan Garment Has Lost Moth
ing of Its Prestige.
heres Mostly to One Straight,
Incorporating Line.

The petite robe, that lOvelieSt of all
Partisan achievements, has lost nothing
of it's prestige during this spring sea-
son. 1t is, perhaps, a trif1e less di-
versified in style than it once was, but,
though it adheres mostly to one
straight and uncOmpromising line, it
is none the less developed in a thou
sand different ways, each more perfect
than before. In the subtleties of these
developments there lies a deal of
charm that seems impossible to imi-
tate.
Most of the daytime dresses, if the
collections are viewed as a whole, are
made from very fine serge or from one
of the many varieties Of crepe de
chine. More often the frocks of dark
blue serge, for this is a material OS
never-ending popularity with the
PariSienne, are trimmed with some
shade of red applied in more or less
intricate ways. But with the blue goes
the red almost as matter of course.
The combination of red and blue is
used by Poiret many times over, and
on most of his daytime frockS he is
making a point of the longer skirt
which reaches below the ankles.
Doeillet shows an adaptation of the
Brittany costumes, which has had all
sorts of interested attention in Paris.
1t is the prettiest combination of blue
serge with red trimmings. Another
frock which appeared at the opening
of this maison was made up of two
panels of red foulard, one at front and
one at back, and each of these was
embroidered in an all-over pattern
with dark blue threads. The remain
ing portions of the dress, that is, the
full sides and sleeves, were of blue
serge, to carry out this ever-prevalent
style of red and blue.
In the same style one sees among
the collection of Martial ct Armand a
red and blue dress called Marmouset.
Madeleine ct Madeleine have a red and
blue frOck, very simple and chaste in
line. 1t is built about high belt of
red filet lace, around which all the

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle Of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad

A sworn statement of purity IS with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
