The resignation of Congressman H. M. Jacoway of the Fifth district of Arkansas, first news of which was printed in an Associated Press dis patch in the Log Cabin Democrat yes terday, will be for the purpose of ac cepting the position of active first vice president of the Peoples Saving Bank of Little Rock, it was announced last night. The date of the con- gressman's resignation is as yet un- certain In a telegram to the Ar kansas Gazette last night he said he had definitely accepted the offer from the bank and would within a few months become actively associated with the institution. A statement as to the date his resignation will become effective will be made later, he said.
 It is considered probable that MT. Jacoway's successor will be chosen at a special election to be called by Governor McRae, following the pre- cedent set by him in the Sixth dis trict, when Congressman Taylor died last year. The Democratic nomina- tion, as in the same case, will doubt less be made by the members of the congressional committee, composed of one committeeman from each county. H. B. Ingram is the committeeman of Faulkner county.
 Among probable candidates who have been mentioned are Lee Cazort and Heartsill Ragon of Clarksville, Hugh Hart of Little Rock and J. H. A. Baker of Russellville.

North Dakota is one of nine states
that have this year been studying
child welfare conditions with the pur-
pose of revising their legislation for
child protection, according to infor-
nation received from the United
States Department Of Labor through
its Children's Bureau. These states
are Kentucky, Maryland, New York,
North Dakota, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Utah, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. The Governor of Kansas has
recently appointed new child-wel-
fare commission to carry on the work
begun by the commission which re-
ported to the legislature last year.
The Children's Oode Commission
Of North Dakota was created by the
legislature in 1921. 1t consists Of
seven members appointed by the Gov
ernor. The commission is required
to ascertain the conditions affecting
child life, to study existing laws re-
lating to children, to suggest stand
ards for the administration of such
laws, to make known existing condi-
tions, to suggest Improvements in
such conditions, to report findings
and recommendations to the Governor
and legislature and to propose new
measures and amendments to existing
laws to bring about more satisfact-
DRY situation as regards child welfare.
Since the beginning Of the child
welfare commission movement, in
1911, a total of twenty-five states,
and. the District of Columbia, have
been studying and revising their laws
relating to children through official
child welfare or children's code COM
missions. Maryland is the latest
state to be included, with it's commits
sion appointed by the Governor in
January, 1922. A partial report has

Indicate Rule for Delinquent Taxes
In two-thirds of the counties Of the
state, tax Of 5 per cent is added to
delinquent personal property taxes
paid after March and before April
/, while tax Of 6 per cent is added
to such taxes in the remaining coun-
ties of the state. This information
was contained in a statement issued
by Tax Commissioner c. C. Converse
to county treasurers.
This lack Of uniformity is not sur
prising after one studies the wording
Of the statute. Attorneys differ as
to which practice is more clearly. in
accordance with the statute.
ut is, however, desirable to have
a uniform rule practice throughout
the state. In my judgment" asserted
Mr.. Converse, "the preferable rule, all
things considered, is to add only 5
per cent during the entire month Of
March,"
A penalty attaches the personal prop
erty taxes when they are not paid
before March /, according to Sec.
2166, Compiled laws 1918. On the
other hand, it is quite clear, under
the wording Of Chapter 81 Of the law
Of Special session Of 1919, that the
penalty does not attach to the first
half or real estate taxes if paid be-
fore March nor to the second half
if paid before October IS. --

REVISE CHILD WELFARE LAWS

been made to the present session Of
the Maryland legislature, including a
recommendation for the continuing
Of the commissions work. The Vir-
GINA commission, which during the
past year has been making thorough
study of children's needs in that state
recommend a series of twenty-eight
bills to the legislature, and eighteen
of them have been enacted into law.
They include new child labor and
school attendance laws, and laws re-
gulating child-placing and child-car-
ing agencies, extending juvenile and
domestic relations courts of all the
counties, and establishing county
boards of public welfare which will
advise with the circuit judges in ap-
pointing special justices of the peace
for juvenile cases, and will administer
relief for children in their own homes,
The object of the child welfare
commission movement is not to Sc
cure absolute uniformity in the laws
of the different states, but to enable
an individual state to profit by the
experience Of others, and after learn.
ing the exact conditions and needs
within its own borders to adapt such
experience to these conditions. The
value of their work lies not only in
the formulating of laws, but in the
uniting Of all the agencies and people
of the state behind program for
making the laws affective.

once did they encounter mud on the
way home. They took the following
route Bismarck, Aberdeen, Huron,
Sioux Falls, s. b., Sioux City, la. and
the Lincoln highway to Chicago; they
struck the national highway at Rich
mond, Ind, and found paving all the
way to Baltimore, Md. and from Wash
ington to Cheraw, S. c. They were

vegetable and fruit growers making
money. One takes four crops a year
off the Florida land, first head lettuce,
then peppers, corn and potatoes.
Sometimes they grow grape fruit in
stead of lettuce and in either event
get from 700 to 800 hampers of each
from an acre, selling them for $3.50
per hamper.
They drill wells 100 feet deep on
the Florida land which furnishes irri-
cation. One we'll will irrigate a
couple of acres. The water flows
from the well.

Importance of Sunshine.

Importance OF Sunshine.
Sunshine is absolutely necessary to
the young child. The .baby's room
should be the one, in all the house,
which has the largest amount of sun
shine.
Quite as important is fresh air. The
baby's room should be we'll ventilat-
ed night and day and to attain this
there should be windows in opposite
sides of the room so that there can
be a cross draft. ~. ..
In moderate weather the windows
should be always open. In the cold
est weather, the windows should be
thrown wide open at frequent inter-
walls so that the room may be flushed
with fresh air 1'"7t
The death rate among children in
ill-ventilated rooms is very high.
Pneumonia, bronchitis and colds are
more often due to absence of fresh
air than to exposure to the outside
air. 80
Babies do not want silks or satins;
but they do want sunshine and SAM
tation.

 'I have read book of yours and 1t has occurred to me that you might be my uncle, Ern Poole. Uncle Ern left home about ten years ago. He said he meant to write for a living, but we have never heard of him sance till I read your book. Now if you are my Uncle Ern I want to tell you what I think of the way you left my poor widow mother and have not even written her since-Dear sir-if you are not Uncle Ern please pardon this presumptuous letter but if you are, you're coward and sneak and a quitter for running away like that.

LAUGH AT MUNICIPAL ORDERS
Men and Women of Zurich, Switzer. land, Refuse to Recognize Sep
 arate Bathing Divisions.

An attempt by the municipality of Zurich to prevent mixed bathing has failed, according to the Geneva correspondent of the London Daily Express. They built swimming bath on the edge of the lake and erected dividing screen of boards six feet high down the middle-one division for women, the other for men.
 Fathers and mothers refused to be separated, and as the men could reach the women's division by swim ming under the screen they bathed together.
 The officials protested and there were daily scenes. The police were called in, but found it difficult to arrest a man in deep water. Uni forms were splashed, women became hysterical and were rescued splut- tering. The scandal reached the ears of the municipality and the bath was closed.
 After an official meeting, at which petitions from parents who wished to teach their offspring how to swim were considered, the municipal au- thorities have removed the objection able dividing screen.
