BOOZE PRICES RISE AS VISIT
ORS FLOOD FRANCE

Influx of visiting foreigners from
a parched land has unduly raised
the price of French wines and
liquors.
This is implied in a protest made
by congress of hotel keepers meet
ing at Bourges against the whole
sale prices set by wine merchants.
''They are going to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg," the au-
thor of the protest declared.
The hotel keepers also protested
vigorously against the "taxe de es-
jour" at Summer and Winter re-
sorts and touring centers. Accord
ing to letter received from the ho-
tel keepers of Chamonix, the tax is
characterized as ''imbecile" and
'paralyzing the efforts of hotel
keepers to attract business

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS TO BE
HELD

A special examination for ele-
mehtary certificates will be held
July % and 20, according to an an
nouncement made by Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction George
Colvin.
In notifying the county school
superintendent of the examination
Superintendent Colvin called their
attention to a provision of the new
school laws which provides that
from the first day of July, 1922, ap-
plicants for an elementary certifi-
cate must have had at least one
year of high school work, or it's
equivalent; and in addition thereto,
five weeks study of professional sub
jects in State Normal school or
some other training school, recog-
nized by the State Board of Educa-
ton.
No teacher holding an elementary
certificate of the first grade, which
VIII not expire during the current
year, will be admitted to any exami-
nation for elementary certificate
this year. Persons holding second
grade certificates can be admitted
for the purpose of. raising the grade
of their certificates.
The examination will be held in
the different counties of the State
and as the number taking the special
July examination is usually much
smaller than in the May and June
examinations, superintendent Col
vim suggested to the county school
superintendent that only one exam
liner be used.

TEACHERS NOT TO PAY FOR
FUEL OR SUPPLIES

Contracts with teachers, embody-
ing the condition that the teachers
must furnish fuel or supplies for the
schools, are invalid, State Superin-
tendent George Colvin notified coun-
ty superintendent, and advised
them to call in and revise all such
contracts. He also called their atten-
ton to the law, requiring them to
submit to the State Department of
Education their salary schedules.
l.. N. Taylor, chief, clerk in the
department, is checking the school
census with painstaking care This
year the actual census was required
to be sent in instead of the number
of pupils by districts. Where there
are evidences of changes in dates of
births, which bring pupils within
the school age, or doubt about the
figures, he has written the parents
for the correct dates, and in each in
stance the county or city superin-
tendent is notified of the error as
checked. No padding" of the cen
sus has been discovered, but a great
many errors have been found.
1t is the first time the census has
been subjected to this detailed scru-
tiny.

DISCORD IN REPUBLICAN GLEE
CLUB

Senator Stanley Dem., Ky,.) is
always happy in descriptive COM
ment, as witness the following from
recent speech explaining the dis
cord among prominent Republicans:
."Mr. President, may l respectfully
and affectionately suggest to my
good friends and neighbor from Indi
ana (Mr. Watson) that the trouble
with this sepulcharal glee club, this
doleful chorus, of which the Presi-
dent spoke, is not that one man is
doing all the singing, but that too
many are singing and singing in diff
ferent tunes. For instance, when
ever the President sings in falsetto
the powerful voice of the Senator
from Idaho (Mr. Borah) is heard in
deep and discordant bass; and
when the President wants to sing low
the Senator from California (Mr.
Johnson) persists in singing high /;
and when the President wants to
sing a good old reactionary doxol-
ogy the Senator from Nebraska (Mr,
Norris) breaks out in a progressive
anthem. 1t is not that there is only
one singing, but that there are a
half dozen singing at the same time
and all singing in a different tune
and on a different theme"

DRY AGENTS PLAY JOKE ON
NEGRO

Want a drink" asked one of a
party of Federal prohibition agents
Of a negro who stood by when they
raided a saloon lat 667 South Sixth
street, in Louisville. "Sure"-as he
came running up and prepared to
seize the bottle the agent held out
to him. The negro took it enthusi-
astically and drank deep and long.
1t was alcohol all right, he realized
but what was mixed with the alec
hol did not make itself known until
he tasted it-something bitter
and strong and biting. Prohibition
agents laughed as the negro held
his stomach and tried to spit out
the taste. But it was more linger-
ing than peach centers, and three
times as nauseating. What he had
drunk, they informed him, was die
thylphalette-a derivative of coal tar
used to denaturate the alcohol and
make it unfit for drinking. The
name seemed to stun the darby. The
substance was not in a form sufici-
emily concentrated to prove fatal to
the negro, but enough to make him
very sick-which federal agents
pointed out to him between his
groans as a warning to let bad
whisky alone forever.

KENTUCKY AIDS STRANGERS

What Kentucky at State expense is
caring for many nonresidents in her
eleemosynary institutions, is the
opinion expressed by a welfare Off
cial from another State. His Opin-
ion was given when recently he re-
turned to Kentucky institutions
even demented persons deported
from Illinois under the nonresident
law that obtains there. He ex-
planned that in Illinois, residence of
a year is required for the admission
of any patient to State hospital
for the insane and that those under
the residence limit are returned to
the State from which they came.
Such a policy, he said, had resulted
in a saving to the State of over
100000 last year.
Kentucky, it seems, has no such
deportation law and the Illinois Off
cial, after visiting one of the State
hospitals, ventured the prediction
that in the three Kentucky hospi-
tails there would be found at least
200 inmates that should be the
charges on other States. Kentucky
should and is doing much to allevi-
ate the condition of her mental de-
fectives, but if it must in addition
provide for and maintain wards that
have no claim on the State, steps
should be taken to meet the situa-
ton.

CUTS TRAVEL ABUSES
No More Jaunts in Vacation at
Expense of Government.
Uncle Sam Clamps Down the Lid
on Government Railroad Travel
Notwithstanding of Many
Millions Being Effected.

WashingtOn.-There will be no mer-
ry skylarking this summer by Uncle
Sans army of workers at seashore
and mountain tops at government ex-
pense.
Your Uncle Sam has put a crimp
in free travel abuses The lid has been
clamped on government railroad travel
vouchers. In other years thousands
have flOcked to the summer resorts on
the easily procured travel slips.
The young "swell" or pretty doll"
on the government payroll in the old
days ran the gamut Of business" ex-
cuses, and drew free travel checks
besides the usual per diep allowance
for subsistence while absent from
Washington.
Later on the usual thirty days an
nual vacation leave with pay allowed
government workers was utilized to
drive dull care away.
Now, however, under a rigid econ
Omy drive, useless travel by govern
ment officials or employees of any
rank is forbidden.
+ Bureau chiefs are held responsible
strictly for abuses of the free travel
privilege. 1t is effecting a saving to
the treasury of many millions of dol
lars annually.
Treasury experts declare that in
preceding years the government out
lay for this purpose was something
in the nature of a scandal. Every
government department has it's corps
of special Investigators and experts,
many of whom want to gallop at will
at government expense.
Until recently officials complained
that the hardest work performed by
some of this class was that Of draw
ing their semi-monthly pay.
The efficiency and economy pro-
gram has done much to speed up work,
and to eliminate waste time and
waste motion. Under reorganization
plans government workers do not find
idleness such joy as in the days of
old.
This has come through the program
of reducing the bureaus to normal
strength. 1t has meant lot Of trim
ming in personnel. Still a lot more
will be done before peace time basis
is reached.

IS DIVORCE A LUXURY?

Is divorce a luxury or a necessity?
Attorney Gainsburg, whose client,
w. E. d. Stokes, has just paid liti
cation costs aggregating $4,000,
maintains that it most emphatically
is not luxury.
The issue arose when facts and
figures were revealed by an expert
accountant in the hearing of Mrs.
Stokes ACTION for $4,000 annual
alimony,
The accountant admitted that Mr..
Stokes legal expenses had not been
deducted from his income when fed
eral income tax figures were COM
piled, on the ground that the expen-
diture was classified under the head
of luxury" Law is never a lux
ury. and you know it," declared
counsel for Mr. Stokes to the &C
countant.
