NEXT no TREASON.

Constable Beard arrested two col
ored youths yesterday morning on a
Copiah county charge Of stealing
chickens and breaking into houses,
and the pair was taken back to that
county for trial,
Breaking into houses is g minor Of
fense, but stealing chickens is a crime
second only to treason and murder.
One might have feared, because of
the large crowd which hung around
the prison car, that bodily violence
was going to be visited on the men
who are guilty of such heinous
crime.

vIs WHITE LIEUTENANT;
NOT COLORED SOLDIER

rsylv this month colored man
hronght to the Herald Office pho
tooraph taken Of the remains Of a
,oIored soldier who was killed in ac-
.ion IN France, and which was being
transferred from the Alabama, Vicks-
buyg depot in this city to the Yazoo
Mississippi Valley railroad for
eminent to Port Gibson, to be bur-
hi IN his old home. The remains
wsre 10 IN coffin, which had been plac-
ii n an old dilapidated wagon, to
which was attached an old and broken
down mule.
Il was learned that this was not
the only body of a dead soldier which
had been transferred over the streets
of the city in this manner.
The photograph, together with a
letter Of protest, was sent to the Sec
retary Of War, by E. A. Fitzgerald,
ST., manager Of the Herald. While
some persons may say that "it makes
no difference, it was just negro"
Mr.. Fitzgerald believes that a govern
ment founded by the patriotism of
men like Patrick Henry, who enun-
cated for the first time, the liberty
or death" doctrine, when he said:
give me liberty or give me death;n
has too much love for those who de-
fend the flag, "0ld Glory regardless
Of color, to permit the remains of
soldiers to be carted through the
streets in any such manner.
In this view he is supported by the
Secretary Of War, as evidenced by the
prompt endorsement, which is given
in the following letter, which declares
that the evil will be corrected:
Washington, Aug. 10, 1921.
Mr. 3. A. Fitzgerald, Business Man
ager Vicksburg Herald, Vicksburg
Mississippi.
Dear Mr.. Fitzgerald: Your letter
Of August Sd calling my attention to
me unsuitable conveyance used at
Vicksburg for transporting the re-
mains Of deceased soldiers from one
train to another, is received.
= am glad you have brought this
matter to my attention and am to-
day issuing instructions that effort BEL
made to arrange with the transpor-
ton companies to provide more
suitable and seemly vehicle-prefer-
ably hearse.
"Very truly yours,
~ M. WAINWRIGHT.

The above was taken from the
yicksburg Herald of this morning.
The Herald is in error in stating that
the remains referred to were those
of Negro soldier; the body was

gallant lieutenant who, being above
the draft age, volunteered in the en-
glneering. corps that he might give
ms knowledge to his country in the
ume OF It's extreme need.
But even had the report that II
was Y, the body Of a Negro been true.
sne loyal Negro soldier was entitled

II is gratifying to know that there

MERCHANT HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Especial Correspondence to The Journai.)
Ramah, N. NJ, oct. 15.-Sig-
mund Haas. a merchant of Gallup
and related to Gus Kahn of that
place, narrowly escaped death
when he endeavored to make a de-
scent from the top Of Inscription
Rock.
Mr.. Haas had gone to Ell Moro
to view the old seventeenth CEN
fury inscriptions left inscribed on
the rock by the early Spanish pio-
neers and with party of friends
he climbed the historic mesa TO
take view at the prehistoric viii
lagos on top of the great stone
cliff. His friends came down over
the regular trail, which is marked
and perfectly safe, but Haas
thought he could take a short cut
and was working his way down
through a crevice when he slipped
and slid down the slope, stopping
himself on the brink of tho mesa,
where he hung for two hours, I'M
able to turn around and climb
back to the top and with the hard
ground $50 feet below threatening
his life IL he let loose his hold.
His sister-in-law, Mrs. Gus Kahn.
of Gallup, was below at the shell
ter house and heard his cries for
help. She called the rest of the
party, who had descended on the
north trail, and they went for help
to some sheep herders working for

BEFORE RETIRING.

The one time of the day when q
beauty treatment is most beneficial
is the one time least likely to be
devoted to it. That is, the time
Immediately before going to bed.
These busy days we are apt to be
so tired at night that we tumble
into bed in the shortest possible
time, and think comfortably that
tomorrow morning is all right for
any neglected little Guties.
SO we who are careless spend
eight hours or so with powder on
the skin, sometimes with the touch
of rouge that a days exhaustion
has made necessary, and with the
dust that inevitably gets into the
skin untouched. For eight hours
at night the skin Is clogged, when
it should be absolutely clean.
Give yourself a few moments
treatment every night, no matter
how tired you are. Rub the s,sin
with cleansing cream, wash this
off with soap and hot water, and
rinse with hot water. If your skin
is normally good, rinse with cold
water or use an astringent. If you
have wrinkles, or a dry skin, mas
sage in flesh building cream aft
err the hot rinse, and let the cream
stay in, wiping off only what re-
mains on the surface Of the skin.
Rub cream into the neck and ell
bows, If these need treatment.
Massage your scalp with your
fingers. If your hair is in poor
condition a tonic may be used, but
that can be used any time of the
