Banks Have Been Authorized to Ac-

Additional reports received by
Chairman Ulna H. Foster, OF the Red
Cross roll call drive, indicate that
the campaign in the city Tuesday
where it was pushed by the block
chairmen was successful to high de-
greeS On many blocks, however, the
chairman did not act but is out to-
day making the canvass. Very few re-
ports have been received from the
country districts.
The booths operated up town by the
young ladies had highly successful
days and many members and contribu-
tions were received. Speakers have
presented the cause of the Red Cross
in public gatherings with success.
DR.. w. b. Taylor. pastor of the First
Methodist church, this morning made
a strong appeal to the pupils of the
county high school, and Miss Addison
has presented the greatest mother

lumbia Institute
Chairman Foster has arranged with
the banks to accept membership fees
and issue receipts and buttons to any
one applying before December 1. An
extension of the campaign has been
made in some portions of the county
until December 1. Due to the Thanks
giving holiday and the election cam
paigns 1t has been impossible for some
of the women canvassers to get about
in the rural districts II they can
make their campaign before Decem-

The voluntary response OF many OF
the people in the city and county has
been very gratifying. Many have re-
newed their membership without solic-
itation, knowing the great value OF the
Red Cross as an agency for good.

BUSINESS WILL
STAND STILL TO
OBSERVE THE DAY
THANKSGIVING TOMORROW WILL
Be A UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY
THROUGHOUT COUNTY.
LONG HOLIDAY FOR THE CHILDREN
School This Afternoon Commenced
Four Day Recess for the pupils and
the Children-Herald Office to Be
Silent Entire Day.

With the banks closed, the postof-
fee observing Sunday hours, no issue
of The Herald and nearly all of the
business houses shut tight tomorrow
promises to be one of the most gen
orally observed holidays ever known
in Columbia. About the only diversion
here aside from services which will be
held at practically all of the churches,
will be the football game between
Central High School and Lincoln
County High.
But as usual hundreds of Maury
countians will go to Nashville to see
the great contest on Dudley field be-
tween Vanderbilt and Sewanee and
many others will go to the fields and
forests in the adjoining counties to
shoot the festive quail which is not
protected as it is, in this county.
Schools all over the county recess
ed this afternoon until next Monday
morning and the pupils and faculty
will have four whole days to enjoy life
free from the worries of books and
lessons.
Services will be held at some time
during the day at practically all of the
churches of the city. This will also
be true of the churches of the county
for in many of them there will be
brief services.
Annually Thanksgiving day comes
to be more generally observed in this
section. few years ago practically
no business was suspended for the en-
tire day except that of the banks bit
each year saw more and more tirms
closed until the business houses who
do not make some observance of the
day are rather the exception.
Many and many are the turkeys that
have yielded up the ghost in Maury
county in order to adorn the tables ot
folks in town and country. The con-.
paratively high prices at which tt"
keys have been sold have not appar
emily diminished the sales locally.

DETECTS wATERED MILK
ence Service.

Ioy ocltHCt otTNlCt
 Washington, November 2S.-A new chamical test that will tell with great accuracy the amount of water that has been added to milk has been perfected and recommended as a standard test for chemists of health departments and other agencies. Ju- Illus Horvet of St. Paul, Minn., an nounced here today at the annual meeting of the American Association of Official Agricultural Chemists
 By utilizing the fact that tho ad- dition of water to milk raises it's freezing point, the chemists will be able to detect additions as low as , per cent.
 Certain type of milk may contain as high as 20 per cent, oy even more actual water without yielding posi- tive indications of adulteration by means of any heretofore applied method of examination" MT. Horvet said in explaining the new cryoscopic test.
 During the past year, collaborators in all parts of the country have been making tests on milk from different breeds of cows to determine the util- ity of the freezing point method. The thermometers used have to be ex- tremely accurate as 10 per cent water in the milk changes the freezing point only fifteenth hundreds of a degree. The thermometers are standardized by. determining their reading when placed In freezing distilled water or solutions of very pure sugar.

ANDREW AND
 INOGENE
By ROE FULKERsoN

''Oh, Andrew" exclaimed Imogene, Charlie Henry has a position"
 That SOP" said Andrew. uninter- ested, T guess he was in no particu- lar hurry for one. They are pretty well fixed"
 Well fixed" said Imogene. That shows what you know about it.
 Andrew, l was over there this afternoon and Minnie asked me to loan her s1o until he got his first pay and she told me how they were fixed.
 You see they have always travelled around with nice people who had money and they have been well to do. but they had just finished paying for their house when Charlie lost his position and they had no money.
 Charlie wanted to begin to econo- mize at once, but Minnie would not let him, for she said if people knew that they had no money they would not give Charlie a nice position, but would give him place as a clerk or something at about s1.000 a year.
 So they went fright ahead until just before Christmas; they actually had nothing to eat In the house, and were inviting themselves around to peoples houses for dinner.
 Charlie has rich aunt up in Maine and she generally sends them $100 Tor Christmas, and they were count ing on that to tide them over for a couple of months, and what do you suspect that woman sent them7
 "A tea wagon.
 Tt was the same way with a1l their Christmas presents. Minnie's mother sent her a dinner gong snd all their friends sent them things for the table. but nobody sent them anything to eat or invited them for Christmas dinner.
 Minnie said that so far as she was concerned there was no need for any body to ring gong for her. or push things to eat into the parlor on a tea wagon that day. She would have gone into the kitchen and pulled it out of the stove.
 They had a box of crackers. though, and Charlie would ring the dinner gong and she would rush out into the kitchen and load the box of crackers on the tea wagon and dash into the dining room with it like an engine going to a fire and Charlie would take cracker and munch it.
 They did that until it grew late enough for them to go and call on a lot of friends, and then they ate fruit cake, pound cake. little sandwiches

 In the winter they are, of course, at work in harness. but with the com ing ef summer they have no work 10 do, and the Indians who own them feel that doing no work they should get no food. The result Is that noth- ing is safe.

SPEAKING OF LIARS

Fred C. Kelly, in Leslies Weekly.
 When a man, ordinarily truthful, is lying to shield somebody else he feels so ashamed of himself that he talks in an unnaturally low tone of voice. You ask him to speak louder and he does so for a moment, showing that the trouble does not rest in his vocal powers, but a few seconds later he relapses into tones almost in- audible. He feels that he has to tell the lie. but he doesn't want anybody to hear him. This habit of talking almost In a whisper IS characteristic of panhandlers on the street-tell- ing an obviously concocted hard luck story as a means of getting money.
 Sometimes. on the other hand, the liar takes exactly the opposite tack and talks unnaturally loud-to hide the fact that he really desires to talk low. Another frequent mannerism of the liar who Is ashamed or embar- rassed, is a disposition unconsciously to keep his hand over his mouth, or make a frequent protective gesture of the hand in front of his face-be- cause he would really like to shut out the rest of the world and do his en- forced lying where nobody could hear or see him.

 They would go into one house and eat until they were afraid the people would notice how much they were eating, and then go some place else and call.
 They got filled up this way. and then they went to the Hoovers and were invited to turkey dinner, and could not eat a bite.
 But Charlie has a position at the bank now, and all they need is money enough to eat until his pay day, and they will be all right again
 Why don't they mortgage the house." asked Andrew
 Tt was in Minnie's name" said Imogene, "and she told Charlie they would starve before she would con sent to it."
 That just shows what have al- ways said it true" said Andrew. sagely. That poverty is nothing if you are fixed for it."
 How can person be fixed for poverty?" asked Imogene.
 Keep plenty of money all the time,' said Andrew seriously.
