WOODBURY. believes they support his
statement that the situation here de-
mands the appointment of a special
prosecutor of dry law cases and he
has urged this appointment in let
tiers to Attorney General Daugherty
and Senators Oddie and Pittman.
Sixty-two indictments, embracing
ninety-eight defendants were on the
calendar for disposition at this term
of court. Twenty-seven cases went
to the trial jury. There were twen-
ty-four verdicts of conviction, two
acquittals and one disagreement.
Twenty-seven pleas of guilty were
entered and two cases were dis
missed because of defective search
warrants. 1t has required nine
weeks to dispose of these cases.

AMERICA Wins
FIRST STEP In

Toxic Follows After Britain On Nav,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--In uni
son the spokesmen of Great Britain,
France, Italy and. Japan today accep-
ted the American proposals for limi-
tation of naval ornaments in "spirit
and principle making only reserva-
tions for suggesting notifications OF
detail.
In order, Arthur j. Balfour, speak
ing for Great Britain; Baron Admiral
KatO, speaking for Janpan; Senator
Schanzer, speaking for Italy, and NJ
BRAND, speaking for France, rose in
their places and praising in highest
terms the plan and program sugges-
ted by the American government,
gave the adherence of their govern
ments to the general terms of the
proposals.

it will greatly stimulate industries,

ORIGINAL GAME
Law OBTAINS
IS RULING
Confusion Cleared BY Attorney
General.
Attorney

Jackson. Miss, Nov. 15.-Owlng TO
some misunderstanding of the rullng
of the attorney generals office on
the game laws there is still some ap-
parent confusion in many countles'
This trouble started in 1915 when the
Legislature undertook to create a new
game and fish department with gen.
eral regulations which practically re-
pealed the old law as set out IN the
code Of 1906. For long time the
new law was enforced, but the su-
preme court held the law unconstl-
tutional. This left the code chapter
of 1906 still in effect, though some
lawyers held a contrary view. IN
MANY counties the boards OF super
visors had adopted regulations under
the code chapter, and after the law OF
1916 was declared unconstitutional
the question arose as to the validity
of these former orders of the boards
On this subject the attorney generals
office, in an opinion of Attorney Gen,
eral Lotterhos, holds that the code
chapter is still in force, and that or
ders of the board of supervisors which
were valid under that chapter are
still valid. The opinion says:
"This department has held that the
original game laws are still in force
notwithstanding the act of 1916, which
was submitted to referendum. l IN
close copy of that opinion.
"The supreme court, in Keel VS.
Board of Supervisors, 88 So, page 625
in passing upon regulation OF the
board of supervisors preventing the
use of certain nets in taking fish
gives recognition to the game laws
in the code of 1906. And the Legls-
lature seems to have in mind the
continued validity Of the game laws
existin gprior to 1916, from the fac'
that in chapter 1919 of the laws OF
1918 reference is made to sector
2304 of the code of 1906.
s'Therefore, | am of the opinion that
if the ordinance of your board was
valid at the time of its enactment
it continues good to this time. If II
were re-enacted by the board at this
time it might serve to obviate the
necessity for contending over ques
tions of validity that might be raised
in case of prosecution.
However, l consider 1t as valle
now as it was when enacted if it has
not been amended by the board

CITY WAITS TO BE CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Being Restored
to the Glory That Has Been
Promised Her.

The view of Jerusalem as one leaves
he Garden OF Gethsemane draws the
heart with sympathy. The walls rise
severely above bare slopes where
nothing grows, for it is outside of the
city proper that Biblical prophecies Of
the desolation Of Jerusalem seem to
he fulfilled.
Today the city stands midway be-
;ween the horrors OF the Turkish
regime and the promised good of the
British mandatory rule. Nothing has
been done as yet in public way TO
beautify the city. North and west the
houses struggle outside the walls; on
the south forbidding slopes border the
road TO Bethlehem, and on the east
lies the terrible Valley OF Jehosha-
plata valley of dry bones. William
ID. McCracken writes In Asia Maya
zine.
Seventeen times destroyed-bltterly
hated, anxiously sought-how desper-
ate a history since Nebuchadnezzar
captured 1t more than % centuries

Redeemed today, but In her naked
ness, Jerusalem waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace; no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will gllsten With the brightness
of heavenly radiance; she will be
washed and anointed like bride
waiting for the bridegroom.

NOT REALLY A DEFORMITY
Young Housewife Had Something to
Learn Concerning the Physical
Structure Of a Duck.

They dned out the other evening
with some friends, where roast duck
was the principal dish. Husband
seemed TO enjoy it so much that the
little bride decided to surprise him
with similar treat at their next
days dinner, although she had never
cooked one in her life.
The next morning when the duck
arrived she proceeded 10 finish the
cleaning, when suddenly she stopped
and going TO the telephone, she called
up the butcher and told him she
wanted some one to come after that
duck right away, as she would not
keep II.
''Why?" asked the butcher.
Because 1t is deformed," she re-
piled, land / could not eat single
mouthful."

personally cleaned that duck, and l
thought at the time / had never seen
finer one. Just where Is 1t de-
formed?"
"Why," she said, ION its wlndpipe

Novel Solution.

A lot of mystery still clings to the
Chinese in New York. despite metro
politan influences. Often the whole
personnel OF a Chinese restaurant Or
laundry will change overnight, and
you can't find out why or where the
others vanished to. 1t may be they
gamble for them.
Not long ago a man who had been
patronizing a Chinese laundry so long
they didn't give him a check for his
wash called for his shirts and collars
and found one Of those strange over
night changes had taken place. No
one knew him, and his check was de-
manded. He raved and argued In that
exasperatingly futile way so well
known TO one who has tried to talk
TO Chinaman.
Finally he had an inspiration. took
off his collar and showed the China
man the laundry mark in their own
hieroglyphics. He got his bundle.
