Pro6teers are Only
Patrons of Moscow Taxis

Moscow, Dec. 23.-Automobile
taxicabs operated by private owners
have appeared in Moscow, but the
tariff is SO high that on several occa-
sions the government has issued
warnings to the public to bewarde of
extortion. The street cars, about the
cheapest thing in Moscow, are al
ways crowded to such an extent that
foreign visitors never consider rid
ing in them. The carfare is now
about 100000 Soviet rubes, or about
two cents.
The four wheeled drosky, drawn by
one or two horses, which never ceased
operation even during the revolution
and the sleigh when snow is on the
ground, continues to be the most
popular way of getting about the
city. The drosky drivers insist upor
fare about fifteen times more than
the street car charge. The taxicabs
are patronized chiefly by spectators
who are interested in daily transac.
tions of billions or trillions of ru
bles, and who care little about wha,
they spend.

Beacon Hill Resists
Entertainments of Trade

Boston, Dec 23.-Beacon Hill, with
it's purple window panes, front stoops,
fan lights and other architectural
marks of distinction, is organizing
against encroachment. Residents of
the district which once was the CEN
ter of the city's aristocracy seek to
prevent further business invasion.
Many of the old first families are
now scattered.
The brownstone and brick fronts
of Beacon street, facing the Common,
in several instances have given place
to shop windows, while just beyond
Beacon street, in the more secluded
sections near the crest of the hill,
Boston's rival to New York's Green
wich Village is slowly gaining
ground. On the borders of the dis
trict garages are closing in.
The Beacon Hill Association has
been formed to protect the inter
ests of the remaining householders.
Allan Forbes, William G. Goldman
and Miss Marion C. Nichols are
among those interested.

Must Reduce Production
Costs or Lose Trade

Toxic, Dec. 23.-Japanese manu-
facturers have been marned that un-
less they alter their methods and re.
duce cost of production they will lose
their foreign trade. Mr.. Akiyama,
of the commercial and industrial bu-
reau of Toxic, on his return from a
foreign tour, in his report says that
in China wages are very low and
that for this reason Japanese goods
are being forced out by Chinese man
ufactures which are, he says, just as
good as Japanese. He also declares
that in the South Sea markets Chi
nese goods are slowly supplanting
japanese merchandise and that un-
less Japan is to lose these markets
entirely production costs must be re-
duced in this country.

Mayield's Seat
May be Contested
By Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Dec. 2l.-A thorough
and prolonged discussion of the Ku
klux Klan will feature the first weeks
of the extraordinary session after
March a, It is confidently believed by
senator Of all political faiths.
R. B. Creager, chairman Of the state
Republican committee Of Texas, has
returned home convinced that the
right of Senator-elect Mayfield to
take his seat will be challenged. He
came to Washington to make arrange
ments for the fight. While here he
saw Republican politicians and Re-
publican senators.
He declared before leaving that he
had done his work well.
Mayfield will be challenged on three
counts, it is said. He will be charged
with having expended four times the
amount of money Texas law permits
u senatorial candidate to spend; he
will be charged with having direct
connection with the Ku Klux Klan;
ard it will be contended that there
was no election in Texas inasmuch as
tie coalition candidate was not able
to secure legal authority for the put
ting on his nsme on the ticket.
The discussion of the Mayfield case
will result in an open discussion Of
the Ku Klux Klan, it is strongly indi-
Gated. The khan is not confined to the
South. 1t has extended itself into all
states Of the union. In each state it
has members who will defend it, and
enemies who will fight it. The discus
sion in the senate, for that reason, is
expected to be of nationwide interest.
AS previously pointed out in the dis
patches of this bureau, the consensus
o. opinion appears to be that Mayfield
VIII be denied his seat. The reason
to be given, it is indicated, will be
that because his opponents name was
ret permitted to go on the ticket there
was no free election.
But underneath, it is suggested, will
be the affiliation Of Mayfield with the
khan. 1t is generally said that Repub-
licans would hesitate to support q
klansman because of the heavy negro
vote in certain Northern cities and
states. There is no question but that
Democratic senators above the Mason
Dixon line are in part dependent on
the support of the Irish and the He

Paris Cold to
"No Tip" Enthusiast

Paris, Dec. 23.-A man who did
not want a tip caused an incipient
riot in Paris recently. He was the
owner Of q taxi motor-cab, and
thought he could operate his own
property as he say fit. So he placed
on his vehicle a sign reading: II
own this taxi, and accept no tips"
The ruction was caused, not by a
rush Of customers, but by the anger
Of fellow taxi-drivers. "What does
this upstart mean?" asked one,
climbing down from his seat and hur-
rying toward the revolutionary car
with threatening vigor Renegade"
cried other chauffeurs from the cab
stand.
Epithet followed epithet, and
meanwhile the crowd grew after the
fashion of street crowds in Paris,
with the customary bakers boy,
butchers boy and flock of "Midin-
ettes." When the crowd had grown
to impressive proportions the owner
of the taxi said to his colleagues:
"You don't appear to like this an
nouncement." There was loud
chorus Of "No." With no backing
from possible customers, the auda-
cious taxi proprietor decided to
capitulate. So he took down his
sign; the crowd melted, and the tip
ping system was saved.

the U. S. Department of Agriculture:
1.-THE United States Depart ftmeht Of
Agriculture, by carefully prepared
statistics, estimates the loss in cot
ton production for the year 1921 by
Southern farmers, as q result Of boil
weevil infestation and damage, of g.
21I,000 bales Of cotton average
weight of 500 pounds per bale. At an
average selling price Of Is cents per
pound, this amount of destroyed COT
ton by these rapacious insects repre-
sents total net loss from that source
alone of $47o,775, 900, in gold or It's
equivalent, to the purchasing and
debt-paying power of the people of
the cotton states"
This boil weevil poison referred to
above is the product of years and
years of study and experiments by
Mr.: Doxfer Hill, wealthy, and sue
cessful business man, large land
owner. merchant and farmer of
4 Cough, Ga. Mr.. Hills father was q
physician. He left valuable library,
to which his son, Mr.. Dozier Hill, fell
heir, and Mr.. Hill states that this L.
brary containing many books on
chemistry, and medicines, has been Of
untold benefit to him. Messrs. Bar
rett q Company, Of Augusta, Ca,
among the largest handlers of spot
cotton In the belt and prominently
identified with the agricultural and
business life of the Atlantic States,
have joined forces with Mr.. Hill. In
fact, it is my understanding that Bar
retr & Company have taken over the
Hill proposition at very heavy out
lay Of financing and thrown their full
endorsement behind it. Barrett & Co.
are heavily interested in the produc-
tion of cotton, have large holdings in
various business enterprises, ,includ-
ing cotton manufacturing, banking,
ETC., andthey state: Eve realized
what our endorsement would mean
and, therefore, did not give it until
we knew that the Hill mixture would
prove, beyond shadow Of doubt, Of
great value to cotton production"

Christmas Seals

This state as a whole came very
near the bottom of the list in the
per capita record of Christmas bonds
and seals sold last year. Only one
seal was sold for every person in the
state and yet the death rate from tu-
berculosis in South Carolina is very
high, 1885 deaths resulting from this
disease last year. Surveys recently
made show that there are eight to 10
cases of tuberculosis to every death
from that disease. 1t is also esti-
mated that each death means an eco
nomic loss of $4,000 to South Caro-
lima.
Although New York has the high
est death rate from tuberculosis, this
state also had the highest per capita
record for the sale of Christmas seals.
The record last year was IA seals to
every person.
In this state Richland county had
the largest number of seals bought
70 its credit last year. Greenville,
Chester and Laurens counties came
next in order.
The largest number Of deaths from
tuberculosis reported from any one
county in the state last year was 178
from Greenville county, which includ-
cd the figures from the government
hospital. Charleston came second
with ITO deaths reported. Richland
county had 81 deaths excluding those
from state institutions.
aweekkcmfwypshrcmfwy Thd efuns
The funds secured from the sale of
Christmas bonds and seals furnish the
means for the fight against tubercu-
lcsis, except for the legislative sp-
preparation for about $50 beds inrelle
state. The sale this year Is going
better than last and encouraging re-
ports are coming into the state tuber-
culosis headquarters from all over the
state.
Christmas day ends the Christmas
seal and bond sale. 1t is hoped that a
special effort will be put forth these
last few days and that the little
Christmas seal will have reached ev-
ely nook and corner of the state by
Christmas morning.

Flags Modern Women in
w. G. T. u. Address at Sydnsl

Sydney, N. s. W., Dec. 2s.--The
dress and morals Of the woman Of to-
day were censured by Mrs. Grant
Forsythe, in the presidents address
at the annual convention Of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union.
I'VE deplore many Of the new Gus
toms and habits that have crypt into
women's ives," she said. "Ths too
free manner and careless, immodsst
dress, the inelegant, slangy language,
the cigarette-smoking and wine
drinking, the betting and gambling
that are as meat and drink to many
If not to the majority Of girls-all
are signs of the times. We dare not
leave them unchallenged. Some of
the evils could be rectified by legis-
lation; some only by example and
teaching. Women's place still begins
in the home, and there we must look
for the remedy.
Mrs. Forsythe said that she had
looked forward to the time when leg.
islature would give the people an op-
portunity Of expressing their opin
into the liquor question, land when
our intelligent men and women study
the question of prohibition with un-
biased minds"
The convention voted to ask the
federal government to introduce leg
islation in Australia which would give
married women the right to retain
their British nationality on marriage
with an alien. Other recommends
tions urged that Australian represen-
tatives at the Imperial Conference
should endeavor to have legislation
of this kind made uniform through
out the Empire.
The secretary said that many wo-
men did not realize that if they mar
ried foreigner, they adopted the
nationality of the husband and would
have no claim upon an English con-
sui abroad in the event of trouble.
