Sheboygan, Wis, July 29.-Vol-
steadism adds to the troubles Of the
municipality. City Engineer c. E
Boley of Sheboygan is proof OF this
fact. Today he hAs made re-
quest of the citizenry which is, to
say the least, somewhat unusual.
1t is as follows:
. please dump your moonshine
mash into the garbage can after 1t
has passed through the still So
great a quantity has been flushed
into the sewers that the entire sys-
TEN is being clogged up"
The engineer declared that his
request applies with equal force to
all sections of the city. 1t is broad
cast, he declared, because the evil
he has encountered is the same. A
few days ago one of the chief pro-
hibition officials, while in Fond du
Lac, expressed opinion that She
boygan is the wettest city in Wis
consin. With its $4,000 inhabitants
it is best known as "the city OF
cheese, chairs, children and church
es." More chairs are manufactur-
ed than anywhere else in the coun-
try; it has a church to every 1,000
population, and its families all are
large.

PRESTIGE OF
LABOR BOARD
IS RESTORED
Harding Wins; Body
Will Settle Rail
Disputes.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

NCOpyIlSul, 1S11, ny 1uc AISuSJ :
Washington, D. c., July 29.-All
the principal points in dispute in
.tAe-raii strike are left to the United
States railroad labor board to ad-
judicate.
This is the essence of the COM
promise settlement drafted by Pres
ident Harding and Informally ap-.
proved by the spokesmen Of the
contending parties.
The president has won his point
the labor boards supremacy must
be recognized by both railroads and
workers. The fact that both sides
have seen fit in the past to disap-
prove the decisions of the board is
regarded as the best proof of its
impartiality.
Mr.. Harding feels that a long step
toward permanent peace in the
railroad industry will have been ac-
complished by the cooperation of
the railroads and shopmen in the
controversy which is just being
brought to an end. Their example
is bound to be a precedent for fu-
ture disputes, and that's why Mr..
Harding has labored to make the
solution come through the labor
board instead Of through national
or regional agreements between
roads and their men. The trans
portation act provides for the crea-
ton of regional adjustment boards
over whose decisions the United
States labor board has the right Of
revision. But the main points that
are to be solved in the windup Of
the present strike will come under
the labor board itself, and while
neither the railroads nor the en-
ployes' representatives have been
inclined to place much reliance or
the efficacy of the labor board be.

different attitude toward it.

ions of the labor board which havt

executives. It will take time t.

with the direct primary law, Chair
man Tooze and his committee should
pause and seriously consider the pos
sibility of history repeating itself.
Moreover, Chairman Tooze and his
committee might also pause and give
consideration to the fact that the
function of the organization he heads
is to elect the Republican ticket, and
not to propose legislation. The pro-
posal and enactment of legislation is
a function reserved to the Legislature
and the people.
The truth is that there is nothing
seriously wrong with the direct pri-
mary law beyond defects which can
be remedied by the legislature. With
out assuming in the slightest to at
tempt to dictate to the coming con-
vcntlon, The Telegram desires to an
nounce that if the declaration of pi1n-
ciplcs carries a plank hamstringine
this system of popular nomination 1t
will oppose with all the resources at
its command every Republican noni-
mes seeking election upon the plat
fOlm.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE GIRL WHO MADE A KING
HER JESTER.
By M c. YOUNG.
20 by Mcclure NeMspaper Syndicate

IF IT had not been fer a little negro
/ boy with a crooked back one of
the most beautiful women of the
French revolutionary period might
have escaped with her life. But 1t
was the delight of Nine. du Barry to
tease this boy Louis Zamora until he
flew into futile RACES. Her death was
his revenge.
She began life as a servants daugh-
ter, but soon became a beauty. The
son Of the Due de Brissac saw her
when she was under twenty, employed
in a milliner's shop. From his hands
she passed on to the Yicomte Du
Barry, a down-at-the-heel nobleman
who kept a famous gambling establish
ment. She was the attraction of the
gaming tables for several years. Then
the vicomte, who saw her loneliness
increase every day, conceived the idea
of introducing her to Louis XIV.
Lebel, valet to the king, was the
judge of beauty for his imperial mas
ter. He already had introduced Pom
padour, then dead. And it was to
$1,000
Lebel that the vicomte applied. The
valet gave a dinner to which the
gamblers apprentice was invited. But
she failed to find the king there. In
her disappointment she drank deeply,
and gave way to a string of h bad
talk for which she afterward was
famous. The king, hidden behind a
,,,4.sn f,n4O.aI and uroc dnliDhfpd
He came forth and Du Barry's fortune
was In the making.
Every woman Louis had known
went to the last lengths in an effort
to entertain him. But Du Barry In
sisted that he entertain her.
Then Louis died. Du Barry retreat
ed to a place near Paris and not long
afterward again fell in with De Bris-
sac. Next came the revolution, fear
full, bloody days. Du Barry hid, but
Zamora kept the revolutionary au-
thorities informed of all that she did.
One day De Brissac was late in return
ing from a trip to Paris in search of
news. Du Barry, fearful, told Zamora
to go down the road and see If her
lover was on the way. "There Is no
need" he said. II can show you his
head" and he brought forth that
gruesome object.
Du Barry was tried and executed on
the same day, December Z, 1913. AT
the last she broke down and pleaded
for her life. Zamora stood by the
block and screeched his delight.
