BATHING AS OLD AS THE
HILLS BUT FIRST TUB IN
u. S. WAS MADE IN 1912

Bathing IS as old as the hi,isi
History shows US that there ara
evidences OF bathing a. far back
~ our records 70. Using n bib
iical reference as an example. bear
in mind the baths OF publication
ordered by Moses. Tho ancient
Arab. realizing that keeping clean
was keeping fit. used a sand rub
to cieAnse himself.
To the Romans probably gosI tho
most credit for realizing the ad-
vantages OF a sanitary bath In the
days OF Nero and Caesar. bathing
reached grea: proportions. and IN
doubtedly. this fact was. in part.
largely responsible for the excel
lent health enjoyed by the citizens
o. old Rome
But. while bathing has been IN
evidence for thous8 nds OF years.
Il remained TO tho master minds Of
this generation to put homo bath
ing on a truly sanitary basis.
Records shows that the first hath
tub used in this country was in Gin
during the year OF iste. Il
was built q mahogany. lined With
steel. and was proudly exhibited
by its owner at a Christmas party.
The following day Il was d~enounc-
Cd in Cincinnati papers as a lux
uriouD. undemocratic vanity.
In 1s4s. Phllef e-phia passed a
law prohibiting bathing between
November Let and March 18th. In
is45. Boston made bathing unlaw-
fui unless prescribed by a physi-
clan. The state OF Virginia went
them one better in 1s45 by imposing
n tax Of $50 per year on every bath
tub. In 1851 President Fillmore
Installed the first bath tub in the
White House.
These historical facts seem In
credible 70 us. yet sanitation. after
all. Is but & recent development.
There ere stiil n large number OF
people IN even this country. who
have not been fully educated I o the
heaithfui advantages OF the bath.
Which reminds me OF n rather in
terestinF and amusing story OF an
Ohio lawyer who went TO Column
bus a few years ago. and whsn he
registered at the hotel. tho clerk
asked him whether he preferred a
room with n bath or not. He
thought for a minute. rubbed his
chin. rnd replied. NO, l reokcn
not. III be home by Saturday
night"
To add a few more statistics. as
late as 1860 none OF the New York
hotels had more than one bathtub.
As late as 1920. $500 tenants IN
Boston threcter,sd 20 vacate their
living quarters. because no bath
tubs were provided.
1t is only by enjoying the high
est possible degree OF health that
humanity can carry on the work OF
highly developed modern civiliza-
ton. II Is TO this end that modern
sanitary plumbing plays such an
important role. Cleanliness OF body
and environment the avoidance OF
disease. IS. a Greet result OF mod
orn sanitation.
As said before. It Is unfortunate.
though true, that there are thous-
ands OF people who do no. realize
the value OF modern plumbing and
sanitation. In a recent survey.
made in one city block of New
York city It was found That only
one bsthtub was available to 100
people. 1t Is obvious thai; in a sItu-
alton OF this kind, crime. disease.

In some cases. IN the DWELLINGS
OF abject Poverty. we can under

Witnesses Tell
OF Army Hangings

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-"I never
heard of any man being hanged or
shot without trial in France" John
r. Reynolds, Des Moines, Ia, told
the committee investigating Senator
Watson's charges today.
Reynolds said that he witnessed
two hangings at Is-Sur-Tille, that
Of negro and white man, but that
both had been convicted of statutory
charges.
"I thought it was my duty to
come to Washington and tell what
knew" Reynolds said, when I saw
reports in the papers that testimony
had been given that twelve men had
been hanged at Is-Sur-Tille."
Harry l.. Woodbridge, Pawnee
Rock, Kan, said he saw four negroes
hanged at Is-Sur-Tille, two at one
time and two about three weeks
later. They were all legal hangings
for conviction on statutory charges,
he said.
ct heard Of seven or eight others
at Is-SurTille," Woodbridge declared,
"but I didn't see them"
Austin G. Downs, former sergeant,
of Baltimore, Md, testified that he
had heard of fourteen hangings at
Geivres, France, in January and
February, 1919.
The only hangings he witnessed
took place in February, 1919, Downs
said, when two men were executed.
Downs testified he saw six men

two men brought out on stretchers

ANOTHER PROPOSAL
OFFERED FOR SHOALS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--(By the
Associated Press.)-On the eve or
delivery to congress by Secretary
Weeks of Henry Ford's offer Tor
the government properties at Mus
Gle Shoals, Ala, Frederick e. Eng
strum, Of Wilmington, N. C., pre-
scented the war secretary with an
amended proposal to complete, lease
and operate the Muscle Shoals prop
critics for the manufacture or nj
trates for fertilizers.
The amended proposal was ac-
companied by a letter signed by
Marion Butler, acting legal adviser
for Mr.. Engstrum, which reclted
the outstanding features of the pro-
posal as follows:
A guaranteed cost to complete.
Government retain sownership
and preserves assets of Sal, 900, 600.
Returns from investment on a
basis of 100000 kilowatt gross de-
yelopments; this lease will pay to
the government, the letter says, So
500. 900 per year for fifty years, or a
total at compound four per cent in
terest of approximately $537 900 600:
this cash will be used to, produce
uitrates for fertilizers, or can be
turned into the treasury at the op-
ton Of the government.
Success of nitrate manufacture,
which can be economically used for
fertilizer, is dependent entirely on
sale of power; without the support
of power development and sale OF
excess power to finance the nitrate
plants it would not be possible to
continue the manufacture and sale
of nitrates.
The power end of the industry Is
solely developed for the benefit OF
the factory. The separation of the
factory from the power destroys
the unity Of the industry.
This lease proposes to devote the
entire power development to the
manufacture Of nitrates, including
the development of improved meth
DDS for the reduction of cost OF pro-
ducing nitrates.
The quantity Of nitrates annual
Iy produced is limited only by the
amount of excess power sold and
the selling price of nitrates liked
by the government.
The method proposed to finance,
by the sale Of excess power, the
manufacture of nitrates, is the only
possible method by which nitrates
can be produced under present
known methods and sold to the
American farmers at price less
than the Chilean products.
eve will be glad" the letter con-
cluded, ''to consider any changes
or amendments which you may sug-
gest, with view to accepting the
same, if we can see our way clear
so to do

Monroe County to Ship

Is the announcement by Farm Agent
II. L. Worsham that a carload of
hogs will be shipped out of the
county the first part Of April. A
large number of these hogs will be
furnished by members of the Boys
Pig clubs.
This will be the first time in the
county's history that this many hogs
have been shipped at one time. I'm
til the boil weevil appeared, farm
ers of the county spent thousands
of dollars each year for meat and
lard. This winter they have sold
hundreds of dollars worth of meat
and lard, and are specializing in
purebred hogs. Indications are that
several carloads of hogs will be ship
ped this year, as the farmers are

ing rates of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company, and a majority I'M
favorable report on the companion
resolutions providing for biennial
sessions of the legislature and col
lection of taxes, in the house of rep
resentatives, and a savage attack on
and an attempt to abolish the state
railroad commission, in the senate,
were the high marks in Wednesdays
session of the general assembly.
The Miller bill substituting a COM
mission of seven per diem members
in place of the three present cleo
tive members of the state railroad
commission gave rise to a storm of
debate, as did the Miller bill which
would require telephone companies
to give free interurban service be-
tween points not more than thirty
miles apart! Considerable feeling
was displayed in the debate, the Oar
ilngton senator pressing his bills
with great vigor, while Senators
Crosson, Of Lexington, and Bonham,
of Greenville, defended the commits
sion with much vigor.
Senator Miller charged in the
course of his speech that the hand
that wrote the decision of the South
Carolina railroad commission in the
rate case was the same hand that
wrote the decision of the Mississippi
decision. To substantiate his charges
he read a paragraph from the deci-
sion Of the Mississippi commission,
and handing Senator Duncan, Of
Union, copy of the South Carolina
decision, asked him to follow it
closely. When he finished he asked
the senator from Union if the para
graphs were similar. The senator
from UniCn, addressing the chair,
said the para graphs were Identical.
The Wells resolution extending the
time for the payment of tax until
July 1 was passed by , Q house after
considerable debate, unchanged as it
came from the senate with the ex-
ception that an amendment was
added placing municipal primary
elections in the provisional class to
allow those to vote who had paid
taxes after the first of the year.
| \ The Foster measure, after being
amended to exempt local telephone
companies, was passed to third read

vides that the Southern Bell Tele-
