ALL GRAVES WILL
BE MARKED ALIKE
American Overseas Cemeteries Will
BE Made Beauty Spots

Paris, April 30.-No distinctions
- rank will be made in marking the
graves of American soldier who died
in France, says Charles S. Pierce,
chairman of the American commits
sion, which has arrived here to pre-
pare plans for identifying the four
permanent military cemeteries
where the bodies Of all the American
fighters are. to be gathered.
eve shall try to make these ceme-
tries memorials of which all Ameri-
cans will be proud" said Colonel
Pierce. early in the discussions we
decided that regardless of rank and
position each grave should be treat
ed in the same manner and given
equal attention. The only variation
permitted will be on the uniform
headstones. On the top of these rela-
tive may inscribe any religious en-
blem they wish so long as it does not
interfere with the uniformity of the
stone. p,
"No special monuments will be
permitted. All the Americans died
in the performance of their duty and
no matter how heroic individuals
may have been the feeling of the
nation seems to be that all should be
accorded the same honor.
"It is impossible to say now just
what form the Identification will
take but money will not be spared in
making the cemeteries the most i'm
posing in the world. Congress has
appropriated 100000 as a pre-
liminary sum for this work with a
promise of more. 1t is probable that
100000 will be expended.
"The task of removing the dead
will be completed by the end Of
October. The bodies Of those soldiers
who are to rest permanently in
France will then be concentrated in
the four cemeteries. This work TO-
gether with the development work
we intend to do, probably will take
one year more"
The commission which is an advis.
DRY body to the Secretary Of War
and Quarter-master General of the
United States army, is now making
surveys of the American cemeteries
Later the commission will formulate
plans for a permanent cemetery TO,

ANDERSON GET HAIL

Anderson, April 30.-There was a
heavy hail storm near here last
night. The path was from Sandy
Springs to Cheddar, being the heavi-
est in the Cheddar section. The hail
here stripped trees Of foliage, broke
window panes and beat down corn.
It is said that piles of hail could be
seen this morning and the stones
were very large. At Sandy Springs
the hail fell only for q minute or
two, but was very large at the time.
On the j. C. Pruitt place, five miles
from the city, there was also much
damage done. to gardens. As cotton
is not up sufficiently to be hurt very
much, the crop will not likely be
cut short by this hailstorm. Some of
the insurance men who issued poll
Gle for hail damage have received
notice this morning from the nor
thern and eastern sections of the
damage. The hail was accompanied
by a driving rain and much light
ming.

MEXICAN LAND
BACK to OWNERS

Mexico City, April 30.-Lands in
the state of %Chihouhau, Sonora,
Neuvo Leon, Coahuila and Tamau-
lipas, valued at more than 100000
900 pesos, which were coniscated
during various revolutionary periods
in Mexico were ordered returned to
their owners yesterday by a Presi-
Dental order, sent to the governors
of the states. The order requested
careful study of every claim, and di
rected that a return of the lands in
question be made as speedily as pos
sible. Among the owners of territory
in the states mentioned are many
Americans, who deserted their prop
critics during troublous times.
Among the several conditions i'm
posed for the return Of the lands
was one that irrigation and land de-
velopment projects under way when
the properties were deserted be re-
sumed and that Mexican labor be
employed. President Obregon is
said to hope to provide in this way
work for thousands of Mexicans who
have returned from the United
: States, where they were unable to
find employment.

Overheated Houses.

Atmospheric conditions in homes
say specialists of the United States
DEPARTMENT Of Agriculture, are frc-
quently not maintained as they should
be. Houses are often o%verheated. IN
most cases practically no thought is
given to humidity, or air moistening.
Physicians insist that an ov%erheated
house is unhealthful, and that colds,
sore threats, coughs, and the tendency
to be nervous and feverish may bs at
tributed to continually breathing air
having too little moisture in 1t.

SOME FIGURES ON

San Francisco, Feb. 1s.-This city,
with a volume Of business in sweets
in excess of $40, 900, 900 annually, is
now among the worlds leading can
dy and chocolate manufacturing CEN
ters, according to a statement given
out recently by Henry Rhine, chair
mar of the Western Confectionery
Association.
Rhine declared that approximately
s17.OOO.OO0 is represented as invest
cd capital in manufacture of sweets
in San Francisco. There are more
than 100 manufacturers of choco-
lates and candies within the city lin
it's and each one Of these has machin-
cry ranging from $1,000 to 100000.
There are approximately 1000 per-
sons engaged in the industry in this
city.
Prohibition, declared Rhine, has
brought the advent of the candy eat

BY NEW SHUTTLE

lie dancing in St. Louis within the
past several months has become more
immoral and indecent than in the
past thirty years, F. Lester Glen
denim, dancing master, hasannounced
the closing of his dance hall to all
public dances until public tastes and
manners improve"
THE 'toddle.' or shuttle craze has
driven decent people off the dance
floor" he declared. Now. IL ever, is
the time for city authorities to step
in and organize a board of censor
ship to supervise public dancing. The
time has come when dance hall pro-
prietors must keep a guard at their
door to watch 'spooners' in automo-
biles at the curb.
When young girls come to dances
with their bodices cut low and their
shirts as high as possible, and young
men enter the ballroom with whiskey
TASKS on their hips and a pint or so
under their belts, and when such
dances as 'toddle' and shuttle are
tolerated, the result is something
hard to picture in printable terms.
Dance halls should be under city
license, renewable daily and subject
to suspension on proof of improper
conduct by patrons. The city should
have an authorized board to visit all
dance halls and report regularly to
some constituted authority IN the
manner of dancing. All dance hall
proprietors and dancing instructors
should advocate this plan"
