FARMERS GET FIRE
PROTECTION THROUGH s.
GOOD ROADS IN TEXAS

Dallas County, Texas, has made 1t
possible for its rural districts to OBJ
tain protection from the fire depart
ment in Dallas through the construct
ion of modern hard surface high
ways. A contract executed recently
between the Dallas City Commission
and the County Commissioners pro-
vides for fire protection to farmers
on all paved roads within a radius of
fifteen miles of Dallas. When a farm
house or barn along a paved road
catches fire all the farmers have to
do is to telephone the Dallas depart
ment and it will respond at forty to
fifty miles an hour with a chemical
engine or a steamer as occasion may
warrant.
Dallas county is one of the first in
the country to make such an arrange
ment. Several fires have already
been extinguished with small loss.
A general reduction in fire insurance
rates in the smaller towns and farm
ing districts has been the result. The
service will be made more extensive
when the big road building program
now under way in Dallas county is
finished. Farmers affected by the
arrangement are reported to be de-
lighted with the protection afforded.

SCIENTIST FINDS
YOUTH

New York, Nov. 17.-Discovery of
the tissue-building activities Of the
white blood corpuscles,, believed by
scientists to point the way to be
indefinite prolongation of human
life, were out lined today by DR..
Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller instit-
ute, in an address before the National
Academy of Sciences.
DR.. Carrel's statements were TAX
en- by many prominent scientists in
his audience to indicate that the
secret of longevity might be found
through the discovery of a means Of
stimulating the activity of these cor
puscles.
DR.. Carrel described the work of
the ~leucocytes, Or white blood cor
puscles, which experiments had shown,
he said, protected, the body against
infection and also stimulated the
growth of new tissue and the regen-
Grafton of dormant cells.
He told of his experiments with
animals which had indicated that the
white blood corpuscles stimulated the
growth of new tissue 'by setting free
growth activating substances in the
tissues" He pointed out that in ex-
IRENE old age, new tissue grew to
heal wounds and broken bones.
Hideyo Noguchi, a Japanese scien-
fist, who is also a member of the
Rockefeller institute, announced he
had developed an anti-serum for
Rock Mountain spotted fever, which
now has a mortality rate of 10 per
cent in the Rocky mountain and Pac-
ific coast states.
He said his serum would prevent
the disease if the victim was inoculat-
ed within four days after he contract
ed it. Human beings, he declared,
caught the disease through the bite
of the wood tick and usually did not
know they had the fever until six
days after they were bitten.

credits at the closing session of the
STANDARD Training School at the
Methodist Church at II O'Clock Sat
urday morning. The credits were

DETROIT, Nov: 18.-Picture, if
you can, row upon row of tiny faces
arrayed in hospital eots, representing
those of crippled children, manned
for life in traffic accidents because
Of thoughtless speeding and reckless
ness.
Comes Judge Charles L. Bartlett,
Detroit jurist, down the aisle of the
hospital ward today, in escort of
seventy convicted Detroit traffic
violators, trooping in grim procession
uEder police guard.
Fear to Meet Children Gaze.
"~Children," says the judge, Owe
sentenced these men for speeding and
l have brought them here to shaw the
result of Detroit's thoughtless driv-
ing"
Three little boys look up eagerly
and glance from lace to face along
the line of prisoners, The latter
shuttle their feet nervously and hang
their heads, afraid to meet the child
ren's gaze.
Five boys and two girls are seen
with their legs weighted down in
heavy iron equipment. Three of the
men vince visibly.
"a motor car fixed me-" one boy
said %innocently.
"Me too," said a little girl from
another corner Of the ward.
Motorists in a Pledge.
Judge Bartlett cleared his throat.
"You see, gentlemen, most of these
children would be walking with per-
feet legs today but for the careless
ness of motorists. 1t is unpleasant to
send anyone to Jail, but you realize
that it is my duty to protect these
children. None of you will drive deck
lessly again, will you?"
Every voice was heard to reply
"No." They marched to Jail to be-
gin their terms.
To See Bodies of Victims
Judge Bartlett said today he would
take next weeks array of speeders to
the county morgue, where they
would view the dead faces of those
killed by reckless drivers.
when a man speeds and speeds
in a motor car, he has murder in his
heart" the judge said this afternoon.
Next Wednesday when another
heavy list of speed violators are
scheduled to come before me they
shall see the grim tragedy of their
folly"

NOVEL AND NOBLE REQUEST.

In a letter, written a few days be-
ore the operation which terminated
in his death at Springfield last Fri
day, Henry j. Boatner directed that
$500 of his money be invested in
longtime bonds, the interest from
which should be annually divided
between the Paris boy and girl who
had been most courteous to old peo-
Pile during the year. Although not
legally bound to heed this request,
since it was not made in a regularly
executed will, the heirs of Henry's
estate will carry out his wishes to
the letter. 1t was one Of the noblest
and most novel requests local peo-
pie have ever known and is calculat-
ed to prove a very potent agency in
developing character in the young, to
say nothing of its benefits to old peo-
Pile in particular and to the COM
munity in general.-Paris Appeal.

EVEN WORSE THAN MUIR
DER, BECAUSE UNAG-
G~RAVATED."

DETROIT, Nov. 16.-"The
recent grave increase in accid-
ents to children and pedestr-
ians throughout the United
States, due to speeding and
reckless driving of motorists,
offers an opportunity to justice
that no traffic fudge in Am
erica should overlook" said
Judge Charles L. Bartlett to-
day.
II will go farther and say
that no American judge should
be allowed to remain on the
bench, who is not exerting him
self to the limit of his ability
to stamp out this growing men
ance. It/is even worse than
murder, because IT is an unag-
gravated crime.
81 have been told that there
exist judges who in actual fear
of men of wealth and political
influence are allowing these
child manners, these murders,
to actually escape with a small
fine"

BOOZE FIGHT /.
To CONGRESS,
VERY soon

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Wets
and drys expect four major battles
over prohibition in the next congress,
if not before.
l. 1t is regarded certain the vets
will endeavor to get through an am
endment to the Volstead act which
would permit the manufacture and
sale of beer and light wines.
2. The drys intend to force action
in the senate on the bill to deport
aliens who are convicted of violating
the prohibition laws, the house hav-
ing passed that measure several
months ago by a vote of three to
one.
8. The prohibitionists will seek to
have legislation enacted that will take
all prohibition enforcement agents
out of political patronage by having
the agents appointed under civil SER
vice.
4. A bill will be presented which
would make possession of fake with
drawal permits for liquor or the forg-
ing of permits a felony.
No attempt will be made, according
to Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
Of the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri-
ca, to have enacted by congress a bill
which would impose the death penalty
on a booetlegger who sold poisonous
liquor, which resulted in the death of
anyone consuming it. A bill of that
character is being championed in New
York by some of the prohibition or
CARNATIONS.
"There is enough legislation now to
punish persons who sell or administer
paisons," said Mr.. Wheeler. "In adj
dition to the general statutes deal
ing with that subject the Volstead
act provides that in the case poison
GUS beverages are sold, the mar SELL
ing them shall be liable for damages.
MI. Wheeler said he was confident
there would be no more wet votes in
the next congress than at present, de-
spite the claims Of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment.
