WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The bat talion commanded in the Mouse Ar gonne battle by Col. Charles W. Whittlesey, recently drowned at sea, was cut from communication but not lost" as generally stated, General Pershing said today in letter to Representative Siegel of New York. Replying to a letter from Siegel, Gen eral Pershing wrote:
 Colonel Whittlesey's command was not lost. After it had been isolated frequent attempts were made to fur nish food and ammunition by air plane. Unfortunately it was very diff ficult for the aviators to locate in the forest the position of the battalion, which had been accurately indicated on the map. These relief supplies fell into the hands of the enemy. I men, ton this as evidence that the bat talion was not lost in the sense that we did not know where it was. It was cut off"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Ameri- can manufacturers of toys and dolls asked the senate finance committee today not only for protection against German and Japanese competition, but also for the exclusion of these articles which are the product of child labor. They asked for a duty of 40 per cent of the value of the toys and dolls, based on the protection pre- vailing in the American market.
 German competition is the most serious factor. they asserted, and i'm ports from that country are seriously felt. The American industry has slumped 50 per cent, it was testified, despite price reductions ranging from 25 to 50 per cent. Doll making has been even more seriously affected, the witnesses declaring that of the 134 doll factories in the country a year ago only F of the leaders re- main.

Mrs. Jones is ''an old-fashioned shopper" When she hits the buying trail, 1t becomes a war path. She goes everywhere, sees every thing asks countless questions, and leaves wake of piled-up counters and worn-out sales folk behind her.
 Sometimes she wonders why tired girl is little snippy. Often she suspects that mer- chandise is not shown to her with particular enthusiasm or graciousness. She wonders why somehow shopping days are becoming an ordeal that leaves her limp and worn-out at supper time.

Then only it's reproduction in other

another tax for the reproduction.
The big political papers and those

BASEBALL BREAKS BONE
Finley Youth Keeps Accident to Arm
Secret for Two. Weeks.

Clifton Finley, the twelve year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Finley,
had an arm broken about two weeks
ago in a most peculiar manner. He
and some other of the boys of his
neighborhood were engaged in a
game of baseball. Young Finley was
in the field and in trying to return a
hardly hit ball he misjudged it and
the ball struck him on the left arm
just above the elbow.
He told no one at the house about
the accident, but went about the
place and his work complaining oc-
casionally of pain in his arm. Mr..
Finley said he thought it was a
simple pain that would 60 away
soon. The arm soon became inflamed
and Mr.. Finley began to question
him and learned of the accident. He
took the boy to DR.. ]. E. Pressley's
office where it was found that one of
the, small bones were broken and
that an operation would be neces-
sary to start the neglected fracture
to mending. DR.. Rakestraw will per-
form the operation. The Spartan lad
is still playing around his fathers
store, though he does not find it
convenient to use the injured arm.

ADULT SCHOOL OPENS
Miss Lide Teaches at Campbell
Thirteen Present Monday night.

At its opening session Monday the
Adult School at Campbell school
house, conducted by Miss Julia Lide,
of Darlington, had thirteen students.
Superintendent of Education Mann
and Senator j. Howard Moore were
present and made addresses encour-
aging the beginners to their best ef-
forts. Miss Lide is not at all super
stitious about the number thirteen
and says that she expects to have
great many more before long. Most
of the adult students are men,many
of whom are quite old. One old man
whose hair is gray said on the open
ing day: II can't write nay name but
/ ann coming to school tomorrow"
Miss ,Lide is experienced ins con-
ducting adult schools and has been
very successful in organizing and
working them up. It is very difficult
in many communities, she finds, to
overcome the feeling of timidity that
at first prevails when the subject of
education is mentioned to people
who think they have grown too old
to attend school. She comes with the
authorization Of the state superin-
tendent of education and her ser
vices are paid for by the state.
Mr.. Mann has been trying 10 or
ganize adult schools in several other
sections of the county but so far has
met with more or less Indifferent sue
cess. He realizes the advantages
that would accrue 10 any communi-
ty through the elimination of litter
acy, and wishes to do all he can TO
accomplish this end.

is a good thing, the merchants be-

Although the day set for the Co.

that there is no reason why such an
undertaking should not succeed,
since the plan is entirely feasible
from every point of view. The pro-

and bring along whatever they may

DDS or to oversupply. 1t is felt that
these things are serving no purpose

body else could use them. If these
things can be brought together at
some central place, they would
change hands and have new days of
usefulness. In this way useless capi-
tai can be put to work again, and

IN CLOSED SESSION
OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE HOLD CON-
FERENCE RELATIVE TO CON-
DITION IN SOUTH-DR. HAYNE
ATTENDING cINFERENCE =

Washington, Aug. 4.-The pella-
pra situation was discussed in closed
session here today at conference be-
tween health officials from southern
states and Surgeon General Cumming
of the public health service. Some
of the state officials said as they en-
tered the conference room that they
would dispute any claim that the dis
ease had reached serious proportions
in their territory. Information OF
the federal government as to the con-
ditions, they contended, was incom-
plete and did not accurately picture
conditions.
DR.. Cumming said he hoped to get
first-hand information from the state
officials and map out concerted
course of action. The conference
was called after President Harding
had requested public health and Red
Cross officials to take measures to
meet threatened ravages of pellagra
in southern states.
State health offers attending the
conference were w. S. Leathers, Mis-
s;ssippi; Olin West, Tennessee; w. S
Rankin, North Carolina; C. W. Gar
rison, Arkansas; A: T. Mccormick,
Kentucky; James A. Hayne, South

Oscar Bowling, Louisiana and E. G
Williams, Virginia. j. P. Folan, as
sistant health commissioner of Okla
homa; W. K. Keating, representing
Florida; M. F. Haygood, representing
Georgia and W. F. Cogswell, health
officer of Montana, also attended.
Representatives of the Red Cross,
including George H. Jones, director
of the Southwestern DIVISION and
Harry L. Hopkins, manager of the
southern division, three experts from
the Department of Agriculture and a
dozen public health service officials,
among them DR.. Joseph Goldberger,,
pellagra expert, participated in the
discussions. ..
In opening the conference Sur
geon General Cumming discussed the
ppeIlagra situation, the possibility OF
an Iincrease, in the disease next year
and. a prospective program to deal
with existing conditions and those
threatened for 1922. DR.. Goldbergel
presented data which he said in9i'
Gated marked increase in the dis
ease. State officials summarized ir
writings reports as to conditions in
their states;
