100000; that said pearl necklace has been

Many eminent lapidarsts have given
their opinion that these pearls, for lack of
nourishment, Will deteriorate unless worn
for certain period in each year, and the
Court is asked to designate some fit.
proper and healthy woman to wear this
necklace during the period OF one month

"After the hearing OF said petition many

requests have been fully considered by
the Court, but after seeing the petitioners

And then Judge Graham issued an order

court In the history of the world. He
directed that Mrs. James b. Blum should

A Serious Fire

But for the splendid work done
by some of our gallant volunteer
fire fighters Saturday morning, q
very serious confiagration would
have resulted. People over the
river saw the fire and gave the
alarm and the roof of the Inn hotel
was in full blaze when the fight
began, which resulted in getting
control and putting it out before
it spread further than one side of
the third and second story. Rats
must have caused the trouble as it
started in a corner of the tnird
story where there was neither a
flu nor electric wires, and got in
good W ork before discovered.
About 1000 damage was done,
which is covered by insurance.
The building is the property of
DR.. j. s. Stephens and eslaJe of
j. H. Henry and was leased by
Mrs. Summerville who ran the
hotel.
At a conference held the other
day, the owners decided to remodel
the building and make it into q
FIRST class hotel; put the steam
heat in good condition, ho: and
cold water in every room, more
baths, beaver board and paint the
whole building inside and out, and
make it as up to date in every way
as a comfortable, modern hostelry
needs be.

Worlds Capital Pro Tenn

For a brief period Washington is
virtually the capital of the world. The
great men of the leading nations are
there, engaged in formulating agree
ments that will profoundly affect the
foreign policies, expenditures, and
general welfare of their respective
states. The United States is pleased
that such beneficent arrangements
are being consummated within its
borders, but after the conclusions
have been reached there will be no
disposition here to direct the affairs
of the world. The conferees will re-
turn to their respective countries and
engage in the work of putting into
effect the relief made possible by the
Washington agreements, free from
any suggestions from America as to
how they should proceed.
If the abundant good will manifest
ed among the armaments conferees as
they gathered for the opening meet
ings can be translated into permanent
agreements between them, the con-
ference will adjourn with bright
record of accomplishments.

Health Is Wealth and Then
Some! Public Health Ex-
position of Nation Wide
Interest.

As part of a Health Week Cam
paign, New York has staged for this
week, the largest Health Exhibit ever
produced. Two floors of the Grand
Central Palace are covered by the
exhibits, entertainments, and educa-
tional displays of the unusual exposi-
ton. The American Public Health
Association and various public and
volunteer agencies both national and
local have combined their efforts to
create a gigantic panorama called
"The Children's Highway to Health" !"
In other exhibits every city depart
ment is represented showing how each
contributes to a cooperative program
of health for the city.
Not the least interesting part of the
New York Health Exposition are the
sections occupied by the newspapers,
and devoted to showing what prac-
tical effort a modern newspaper de-
votes to public health. For example,
the New York Tribune shows through
Photographic display and figures, the
work of Fresh Air Fund conducted
by the paper for 45 years, which in
that period has sent 377,00O children
to the country. The same paper ex-
hibits one of it's regular departments
conducted by a chemist, a trained
diettian, practical domestic scien-
tist, and an expert cook. These all
work together to put out plain, sound,
scientific and practical facts through
the newspaper, for the benefit of the
housewife who is the guardian of the
family's health.
All of the health facts of the ex-
position are put forth in human and
interesting way and embody the
advice of some of the worlds great
est authorities.

After Cheaper Labor

A writer in the "Annalist," remarks
that eve may look forward to in
creased offers by our own manufac-
turers of goods made in their own
factories in foreign countries, es-
pecially the Orient, at prices with
which the American workman cannot
possibly compete" !
This is true, and attention has fire.
quently been called to the fact. We !
are encouraging American capital to
go abroad for investment when it does |
not find adequate opportunity at
home. We try to encourage American
capital to develop oil wells in Mexico,
build railways in South America, and
| open mines in Bolivia. We like to have
American capital develop the foreign
industries upon which we depend for
part of our necessary supplies. We
profit rather than lose by the use of
| American capital in the production of
coffee, for example. But it would be
misfortune if American capital
should be invested in the erection of
factories in China in order to produce
goods for sale in the United States to
the destruction of American industry.
Yet this is the tendency, and it can
be forestalled only by the imposition
of import duties which shall equal the
difference in cost of production.
If, for instance, a factory could
produce a commodity here at cost
of 500 but by transferring it's fac
tory to China could produce the same
commodity and lay it down in Amer
, lean markets at cost of $75, there
: should be imposed an import tax equal
, to the difference. This the importer
= could pay and still be on an equality
. with the American factory. If such
I an import tax be not levied, there
p would be injustice to the American
! manufacturer, who pays taxes to sup.
$ port the local, state and national
$ governments and their public i'm.
$ provements. Without the imposition
0 of an import tax in case such as
s that mentioned, the manufacturer
: who sent his money to China to be
d utilized in production there, would
0 realize $25 profit on $75 transac
G tion without ever having to meet the
n competition of the American producer
n The injustice would be done not only
to the owner of an American factory
= but all the employees who would draw
s wages from the operation of hi

NATIONAL EVENTS
Observations and Comments ,OriHen for he Post
Unknown But
Glorious in Death

A national shrine was dedicated at
Arlington last week. There in
marble tomb, before beautiful am
phitheatre, with a sweep of lawn ex-
tending before it down to the Po-
tomac, beyond which from the Capital
City rises the inspiring shaft of the
Washinton Monument, and nearer, on
the opposite shore of the river, stands
forth in it's arresting and exquisite
beauty the Lincoln Memorial-there
was buried the body of an American
soldier, one of the unidentified dead
in the World War.
The personal life and the exact
manner of death Of this unknown
soldier will remain unrecorded but in
his last resting place he becomes to
hundred million people and to their
children forever, the beloved symbol
of supreme human sacrifice for coun-
try and liberty.
The vast throng of Americans,
young, old, the distinguished, the
humble, the rank and file of native
citizens together with citizens by
adoption, the war mothers, the fight
ing comrades Of army and navy, the
veterans of many wars, the boy
scouts, the children carried or led by
the hand, all in tolerant and interest
ed closeness, crowded together over
the acres of ground about the amphi-
theatre, straining for a glimpse of
Pershing, of foreign statesmen and
soldiers, listening to the words of the
President, or of Marshal Foch, whose
voice had a warmth Of tone and per-
sonality even through the amplifier,
expressed America, more simply,
more vividly and truly perhaps, than
ever before did any mass gathering
for celebration or ceremony.
Both the foreign delegations of
world leaders, and our own leaders
and people seemed in complete accord
with President Harding's words as he
sounded the note of hope, of new
consciousness of leadership in civiliza-
ton, and of future peace, when he
said:
standing today on hallowed
ground, conscious that all America
has halted to share in the tribute of
heart, and mind, and soul to this
llow-American, and knowing that
the world is noting this expression of
the Republics mindfulness, it is fit
ting to say that this sacrifice, and
that of the millions dead, shall not be
in vain. There must be, there shall
be, the commanding voice of con-
scious civilization against armed war
fare"
Unknown, but not unsung, and not
unloved, the dead boy there at Airing.

potent and more powerful than II

the spirit of America crystallized int

That America may so live her tri
butte to the dead and fulfill her prom
