DEATH RATE FROM
CONSUMPTION CUT
IN PAST Is YEARS

Eighteen years is about one third
of the average mans life In the past
eighteen years one of the greatest
scourges of modern and ancient time
has been partially brought under con-
troll.
The death rate from tuberculosis
has been reduced from 200 per 1OO,-
900 population to 100 per 100000
population. In 1904 there were In
the entire United States just 100
hospitals for the tuberculosis with an
aggregate bed capacity of 10000.
There were only 6 Gispensaries and
clinics. and twenty five organized
tuberculosis associations. There were
no public health and tuberculosis
nurses, no open air schools and pre-
.ycntories, no community program OF
tuberculosis work There are today
700 hospitals with an aggregate bed
capacity of 10000, there are 600
dispensaries and clinics, 1920 or
ganiZed tuberculosis associations, 81
coo public health and 5000 tubercu-
losis nurses, 5000 open air schools
and preventories and 1900 COM
munity programs of work.
An equally interesting advance in
the progress of the work in Missis-
sippi has been made during the 10
years of its organized fight against
tuberculosis. In 1912 there We're no
hospitals, no organized county tuber-
culosis committees, no public health
or tuberculosis nurses, no program or
tuberculosis work In 1922 there is
a state sanitarium that. is one of the
best equipped in the country. There
are two county hospitals, the ag-
gregate bed capacity of the state
and county being 420. There are 10
portable cottages under construction.
There are 26 organized county tuber-
culosis committees with a community
program of work. and "A organized

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK :?

THAT city looks like its
citizens.
THAT if there is anything
wrong with your citizens, there
is something wrong with your
city.
THAT people judge city by
its looks.
THAT more cities die for want
of public spirit than for any other
reason.
THAT when a manufacturer is
looking for Il location and a home,
and he goes into Il city and finds
ii full of business and enthusiasm
and everybody working to build
up the city as well as their own
business, he joins the crowd. That
city looks to him like good place
to establish his business.
THAT however, when he goes
to a city where every one is
gloomy, where the people seem to
be wandering around in a circle,
where they have no faith in their
city or its future. naturally, he
moves to Il better city.
THAT some of the most inter
esting gentlemen in our insane
asylumS, are the ones who have
the thrift instinct so highly de-
veloped that they hoard every
thing they can get their hands on.
They have lot in common with
many outside of the asylum, who
so seifishly hoard and refuse to
help anyone but themselves. All
the insane people are not locked
up. s&

State of New York Returns to Fold Democratic Ticket
Elected in Mississippi. Amendments Carried by Large
Majority

Tuesday, November 7th
will be a day long remember
ed by the Democrats of the
country inasmuch as they
gained sweeping victoriesfr
practically every state
where elections were held.
New York led the process
sion by ousting from the ex-
ecutive mansion a repubil-
can governor and electing
former Governor Alfred +.
Smith, who was beaten in
the republican landslide OF
two years ago.
The Democrats gained 2o
seats in the House and lost
none. Latest reports from
Missouri were to the effect
that Reed, Democrat, was
leading his opponent.
In the South Senators
Trammel of Florida, George
of Georgia, Stephens of Mis-
sissippi and Swanson OF
Virginia were elected.
Voters of Mississippi ran true to
form yesterday. the Democratic tick
ct carrying overwhelmingly and the
proposed amendments to the constr
tuition passing with the greatest
ease. Activities of Republicans, So
cialists and disgruntled Democrats
failed to have any effect on the
Senatorial contest. and Hubert
Stephens lead the ticket in pract1c-
ally every district.
The vote throughout the state was
light, totalling approximately 10000
votes OF this number Republicans
will poll probably ; per cent Ac-
cOrding to reports late last night, the
vote on the constitutional amend
ments showed fairly evenly dls-
tributed vote. the state going soma
in favor of the changes.
AS a result of the election, amend
ing Section 10 of the constitution,
Mississippi will continue TO draw
Federal aid in highways and will re-
ceive more than $1,000,O00 yearly
for maintenance and construction OF
designated roads. Adoption of the
amendment TO Section 135, abolishes
the office of county treasurer.
Out of IA precincts heard from at
time of going to press only one
Red Oak-voted against the amend
ments. One Socialist vote was also
cast at this box.
The unanimous vote of the people
seems TO be for the amendments.

CHARGES YOUTH
WITH KILLING TWO
"HE's A LiAR,' SAYS HAYES, 10
OF RAYMOND SCHNEIDER.
CONFESSION" is FAULTY
Youth Says He and Hall Were Seek
Ing 6ahmer Girl and Stepfather, N
and that Hoyes Opened Fire
on Couple In Dark.

New Brunswick, N. J.-Clifford
Hayes, youth of 19, held incommunn-
cado in the Somerset county jail at
Somerville on a warrant charging him
with the first degree murder of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills OF Septem-
Der IA.
But il the authorities who caused
his arrest have any evidence which
would show logical motive for his
alleged act they have carefully with
held it. ,
The explanation Of Raymond Schnei-
der, %, whose accusation caused
Hayes arrest, was that it was a case
of mistaken identity. Hayes, he said,
thought he was shooting 15-year-old
Pearl Bahmer and her step-father,
Nicholas BANNER. sa n,
But the only motive he advanced for
the reckless crime was a sort of quix-
otism on Hayes part-a desire to
right a supposed wrong done a friend
Schneider, who, although married,
admits he is in love with Pearl.
Hayes retort was that Schneider
was damned liar" He admitted
going with Schneider to the deserted
Phillips farm, where the bodies were
found, in search of Pearl and her step
father.
They heard shots and screams, he
said and ran toward the crabapple
tree whence the shots seemed to come.
observing an automobile dash away
as they ran. e
Beneath the tree, he declared, they
found the minister and the choir sing
er and, he added, Schneider bent down
and stole the minister's watch.
This Schneider hotly denied during
the all-night grilling to which both
youths were subjected. Schneider, in
turn, accused Hayes of having commit
ted the theft.
One Of the most glaring discrepan-
cies in Schneiders story is his asser-
tion that neither he nor Hayes touched
the bodies, except for the filching of
the watch-of which he accuses Hayes.
1t has been established by belated
autopsy that Mrs. Mills throat was
cut from ear to ear, and her head al
most severed. Schneider could not ex-
plain this.
Neither could he explain how the
bodies came to be laid out carefully,
side by side, as If for burial.
His story does tally remarkably.
however, with the first statement at
tribdted to Mrs. Hall after the muir.
ders were discovered-that her theory
of the double Staying was mistaken
Identity" This statement later was
repudiated by Miss Sally Peters, con-
fidant of Mrs. Hall, who said the rec
tors widow could imagine no motive,
except possibly that Of robbery, for
the murders.
A part of Schneider's story was cor
roborated by Pearl Bahmer.
On the night of September IA, she
said, she was out with Schneider, re-
naming until about O'Clock. When
she returned home, she continued, she
found her stepfather on the porch, in
toxfcatd, and consented to go with him
while he attempted to walk Off the
effects Of his drinking.
