Tobacco Spit Proves Clew which Leads
to Arrest of Zion City Youth as
''Peeping TOm.'

Zion. III. - Lawrence Hurlbut,
lacemaker, residing on Carmel Boule-
ward, was fined fifty dollars on Sat-
urday night for>peeping in windows.
Hurlbut had several charges against
him for this same ofFense and Justice
W. E. Schmalfuss thought that the
fine would be sufficient to teach the
pepper" to behave himself. Hurlbut
has habit of creeping up to the bed
room windows of young women and
he had been annoying daughters of
Thomas Dochmke, 666 Carmel Boule
ward. On Friday night, Mr.. Dochmke
caught Hurlbut prowling around his
windows and he called up the police.
Office George Stried responded but
Hurlbut had gone to bed and the lights
were out in his home. The officer
wanted to force an entrance and call
ed up Chief Becker for orders. The
chief waived the arrest till Saturday
morning and Hurlbut was taken away
from his lace machine at the Marsh
all Field Lace Factory.
Hurlbut is addicted to tobacco and
has already been fined for smoking
in Zion, He also chews tobacco and
he has been traced by means of tobac-
CO spit on the ground or on the wall
near the windows in which he peeps.
After severe lecture by the JUS
tice on Saturday night, Hurlbut prom
ised to "cut it out" and so he was
allowed his freedom with fine only.
Several cor0Dlaints had benu made +o
the police of Hurlbut's conduct.

Married Men Still
Continue Schooling

Cambridge, Eng-Married men, have
become quite numerous among the IN
dergraduates of Cambridge and Oxford
Universities since the war. Prior to
that time they were practically IN
known in the student bodies of those
universities. Some of them bring
their wives and children to the univer-
sity towns to live. One of the proc
tors here who was unaware Of this I'M
usual situation was so astonished re
Gently when he saw an undergraduate
pushing a carriage containing baby
that he demanded an explanation The
student told him that the child was
his and that his wife was living in
Cambridge. Inquiry has since brought
out the fact that there are a number
of married men in the Cambridge
University.

1t is stated that the immediate out

PREFERRED PROsELYTTzERs

The league of nations has published the
text OF the mandates for some of the Pacific
islands and for German Southwest Africa. The
London despatch announcing the fact says that
the mandates declare that missionaries and
nationals of states members of the league of
nations shall be permitted to travel and reside
In the territories and follow their callings' .
A more sublime piece of insolence would be
hard to imagine That sort Of stipulation is
precisely what was objected to by former
Secretary of State Colby in his notes - an OBJ
lection vigorously upheld by Secretary Hughes
It is notion the American people cannot di-
gest - that as result Of the war they helped
to win they are to be excluded from certain
extensive areas of the earths surface to which
they had free access before the war. The league
of nations doubtless has power to impose re-
strictions on the nationals Of its members who
have subscribed to the covenant, but that it
shall undertake to limit the freedom of non
member nations is utterly repugnant to Annex
lean IDEAS

hard to realize what a tiny country
Syria really is, yet there is no sec
