JUDGE POLLOCK STAYS
JUSTICE BECAUSE OF
ACCUSED MANS MOTHER

Fl. G. Banks was in the federal
court here Tuesday before Judge John
C. Pollock on a charge of operating
distillery. Banks is n man so years
of age, he has never been married; he
moved from Gainesville to the country
near Ardmore and now lives near
Coalgate. He has his mother with
him who is so years Of age and who
requires constant attention.
Banks was in court without friend
and the court appointed an attorney
to defend him. He entered "A plea of
guilty and the court was informed of
the case of the mans mother and of
her sole dependence upon him. Banks
was allowed to go back home and take
care of the mother. He went with in
structions to report back at this court
on the first Monday in next October
for sentence and was reminded that
the life he lived between now and then
and the care he gave his mother would
have much to do with the sentence he
received.
Banks says that for IL years he has
lived in Coal county. That he had
worked as farmer and as miner.
He had a statement with him signed
by many neighbors in which they
stated that he was a man who worked,
that he paid his debts, that he took
care Of his mother as n child should be
cared for. Banks said he brought the
statement with him but that he never
did get it to the court.
In other cases Judge Pollock gave
evidences of fine feeling for the hu.
manity that is brought before the fed
eral court. Many of these defendants
are negroes, others are white men who
have not had much experience to
broaden their vision. These people in
almost all the cases are charged with
violating the prohibition laws of the
United States.

WYCLIFFE'S WORK ON BIBLE
Historians Uncertain as 10 What
Part He Actually Took In Trans-
Iation Into English.

John Wycliffe <133513s4), who has
been called the Morning Star Of the
Reformation" translated-or caused
to be translated-the Bible from the
Vulgate est. Jerome's Latin 'version)
into English, with the assistance of
Nicholas of Hereford and John Pur-
vey. Wycliffe and his disciples la
bored at the translation for some ten
or fifteen years. Scholars are not
agreed as to exactly what part Wy
clffe himself took >in the literary
work
1T is q known fact" says the En-
2.yclopaedia britannica, that Wycliffe
proclaimed the Bible as mans SUI
preme spiritual authority, and that he
sought in consequence by every means
in his power to spread the knowledge
of it among the people. 1t is, there
fore, in all likelihood due to the zeal Of
Wycliffe and his followers that we
owe the two noble Fourteenth century
translations of the Bible which tradi-
ton has always associated with his
name, and which are the earliest COM
plete renderings that we possess Of
the Holy Scriptures into English. The
first of these, the so-called early YER
sion, was probably completed about
1882, at oil events before 1884, the
year of Wycliffe's death. The second.
or later version, being q thorough re-
vision of the first, is ascribed to the
year 1888 by Sir Frederic Madden
and Rev. Joshua Forshall in their
edition Of these two versions.-Detroit

NO CHANGE IN GULF STREAM
Government Experts Correct an I'M

1t Is hard to be steady, consistent
and answering in spite Of contrary
forces, and still to gain the reputation
OF an erratic wanderer. Yet this Is
just what has happened to the gulf
stream. Indeed, its character was
getting SO maligned that the United

essary to yindicate this current OF
the ocean. Much has been said of
late years IL regard to the changing
route of the stream. The government
experts declare there IS no change in
the course, nor has there been for
many years No other physical feature
of the ocean is subject to more per-
sistent nisinterpretation than Is the
Cuff stream. It is a pet theory Of
many that the temperature Of Europe
is greatly affected by 1t, but this effect
is not as extensive as Is commonly
thought. Practically starting at the
Florida straits, where its volume is
made up by the union of currents, 1t
ceases to be true current by the
time not long after it reaches the
Grand banks, where it becomes sur

HAD MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Washington Correspondent Tells Of
Joke Played BY Senators on
Vsteran Capitol Barber.

One Of the Lost remarkable things
aFout men, be thy Of high or low es-
tate, is thai they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group Of ell
der STATESMEN in the United States
senate Here is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims. the old negro
barber at the CAPITOL who has been
shaving them and their kind for forty
years
Sims is a preacher and great Blbi-
cal authority when he is not shaving
senators. He is profoundly religious
He has confidence in his fellows.
So, when Senator Harry New Of In
diana told Sims that he had a present
for HIM. the venerable barber walked
into the trap all unsuSpecting.
The senator said he wanted to. be
stow his present in private. He sand
Sims went into an anteroOm. TheeiSen-
ator squatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his Isock-
ct large-sized pair of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet Sims watched.
At this moment a group of ,sena-
tors in the plot with New, burst into
the room. There. apparently, wereSen-
ator New and the old barber, despite
his protestations of religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were Mortified.
An employee of the senate had been
caught gambling. Sims, of all men,
had gone wrong after forty years
Sims, whom they trusted implicitly. 1t
was a case that called for drastic &C

Ant Families.

One of the most peculiar examples
OF nature protection found in the
wgld is that afforded by the sugar
ant of Australia. The sugar ant is
one of the smaller of the field ants OF
that country. The meat ant, on the
other hand, is a very pugnacious crea-
ture. so that there are few enemies
of it's size which dare approach its
nest. The sugar ant realizes this, SO
it seeks protection for its own home
nv building it at the base of the mound
of the meat ant. Then it covers the
nest entrance with leaves, so that they
are hidden from sight. The meat ant
works only during the day; as soon as
the sun sets, it goes into its nest and
is not easily disturbed, while darkness
prevails. On the other hand, the sugar
ant comes out at night and feeds upon
the honey of flowers or the sap OF
small plants. In this way the two
species of ant do not come In contact
with each other, and the meat ant pro-
vides plenty of protection for the sugar
ant. while the latter is having its day
time sleep. All of which reminds one
of the popular old farce of "Box and
G.ox."-Christian Science Monitor.

EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE
Chitdrea's Bureau Of United States
Department Of Labor DepLores
Some Exemptions Allowed.

Every state now has compulsory
day school attendance law, according
t" information recently furnished by
the United States Department of La
Dor through the ehildren's bureau. The
bureau has just completed an analysis
Of education laws affecting child labor,
the results >of which are published in
chart entitled Estate Compulsory
School Standards Affecting the En-
ployment OF Minors"
In five states attendance is required
until eighteen years Of age, in two
OF these in certain districts only; in
three until seventeen; and in thirty
two until sixteen. One state requires
attendance until fifteen, six others and
the District of Columbia until four
teen. and one state requires attendance
untn the age Of twelve years, but
applies this 10 illiterates only.
Unfortunately, says the bureau, the
exemptions in the majority of states
are so numerous that they greatly lin
1t the application of the law. The
most common exemptions are for en-
ployment, or upon completion Of
specified school grade. Four states
specifically exempt for work in agri-
cultural pursuits, three with no age pro-
vision. Laws of fourteen other states
contain loosely worried provisions eX-
empt1ng d child at any age, which
might be used to cover absence for
farm work as well as for many other
purposes. Several states exempt a
child whose services. are necessary for
the support Of himself or others, with
out any age or educational provision.
The amount of attendance required
Is still unsatisfactory In many states,
several demanding only II 16, or 20
weeks in year. Even in states
where city children must attend for
eight or nine months, the amount Of
attendance required in rural school
districts isson,ett1nes considerably less.

Exnerience. the Great Teacher.

. observation more than books, ex-
sWience rather than persons, are the
prime educators. Books aid as one
has wit to use them to advantage
persons most when seeming not to

ourselves when books fail US, and this
,oftenest against our knowledge and
consent. And 1t remains question
able how far our attachments further
or hinder natures intentions, the art
of education being still so COM
plicated and incalculable a matter
that not a few of the most striking
characters have been formed, untram-
meled by our schools, under the more
direct and potent influence of life
and things, operating under the
pressure of necessity and seeming ac-
