Can One Blame
Her Enthusiasm?

Last Monday morning I happened
to return from a short trip on the
same train with a nurse friend We
seldom talk of her profession, but
that day l felt curious that she
could be so happy. attractive and
decidedly unsuggestive OF sickness.
Isn't nursing a melancholy bus
mess of life?" I asked. Don't you
get tired OF seeing. thinking, hear
ing sickness all the timer"
Il used to-" replied the nurse.
but now I've concentrated on one
phase of nursing. I'm not jumping
around from one disease TO another
any more. I'm a tuberculosis

Good Heavens. whatever made you

Worldwide
CALL SYSTEM
Amateurs of All Nations
Seek to Avoid Confusion
in Signals

Plans for unifying the call sys-
TENS OF the world are being dis
cussed by amateur organizations OF
the chief countries
This movement ia the result OF an
effort to clear up the existing con-
fusion when one amateur calls an
oher. At present. four different
interpretations may be placed on a
call between amateurs In America.
With the advent OF transatlantic
amateur communication, this confu-
sion Is looked upon with greater
concern. For this reason. British.
French and American amateur So
cieties have been trying to devise a
call system that would Include anna
tours OF all countries with no chance
OF mislnterpretation. Many plans
have been offered.
One, out of which the final sys-
tenn may come. Is suggested by the
French amateur society and elabor-
ated by the officials OF the American
Radio Relay League. This is the
plan by which an amaeur In one
country would replace the letters
de" as they are used now between
his can and that of the amateur
called. with the initial OF his country
and that OF the other country con-
cerned.
For example. 2ABV in the United
States Is calling SDW +. In France.
He would sign his call: "sDW fu
2AVB." Thus only one correct in
depreciation could be placed en- this
caIl and no confusion would result.
At the same time. every amateur
would retain his present call, neces-
stating no expense or trouble in
changing the system.
All that would be needed, say Of
ficials Of the a. r. r. l., would
be consent OF the various govern
ments to the change. ds the use OF
de" between calls is prescribed BY
international law.

WOMEN sooTLEGGERS
They Conceal Liquor Containers in
Garments and Detection Difficult.

Women who engage in bootlegging
activities are. making prohibition en-
forcement difficult in some sections of
the country, prohibition officials said
recently. Detection and arrest is far
more difficult than that Of the male
!awbreakers. Cases involving women
are pending in many large cities. Mem
bers OF the sex are arrested almost
every day in New York and Chicago.
Several have been given heavy fines
during the last six weeks.
The case of q woman arrested at
Mount Vernon, n. Y, Tuesday inter-
csted dry agents there. She peddled
LIQUOR, according to the evidence in
court from metal container conceal
ed within her garments.
On the Canadian border, inspectors
are constantly on the lockout for wo-
men bOotleggcrs who try to smuggle
liquor into the United States in con-
tainers also concealed in their clothing
and in false bottoms Of trunks and
travelling bags.
On a train crossing into the United
States from Canada at Buffalo, dry
agents recently found that women boot
!oggcrs were trying to conceal bottles
OF liquor by placing them in the small
windows of sleeping cars. The win
duws opening inward were easily
reached from the upper berth, and pro-
vided Il niche in which Il quart bottle
could easily he held.
The bottle, however proved visible
| from The outside of the car. This was
Z detail which the fair smugglers had
! overlooked. But the fact that the
| berths were occupied by women made
/ the question Of search and arrest diff
cult. Several women tried this method
before it became generally known how
easily the scheme was detected.
Washington police are credited with
/ having discouraged the activity of ono
woman who attempted bOotlegging on
= large scale involving the use of sew
ural automobiles and hired chauffeurs
, Her plan was To transport liquor in
wholesale quantities to Washington
! from New York and Philadelphia.
/ In Washington it was distributed
through the regular channels of the
So-callcd small-time bootleggcrs, n
quart at n sale. Police captured two
automobiles known to have been
operated by this woman smuggler, but
were unable to involve her in the cases
ivity at least in the National Capital.

THE life insurance record for the
wear 1921 demonstrates TINT life IN
surance was practically the only
business in the United States that did
not show O big slump as compared
with the years 1919 and 1920. The re-
port shows that the falling OF IN the
number Of policies issued was only
ONE PER CENT. 1t also shows that
the public has more confidence in the
absolute safety of legal reserve hte
insurance than any other form OF
saving. Until within the past 20 years
the public looked upon life insurance
as an expense, but today it is general
ly recognized by all thinking people as
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FORM OF
SAVING, both for the assured and MS
dependents, that has ever been devls-
ed. 1t is practically the only means
by which o person can make sure OF
leaving an estate or guarding against
a poverty stricken old age.

Carolina has about gone to smash, and
there now seems little likelihood that
more than a million dollars at most
will be raised from these sources to re-

first of the new rev enue" bills to
strike a snag was the proposed tax on
gasoline. The house bill provided for
tax of l cent q gallon on John ID. s
product. The senate thought the
amount insufficient and increased it to
cents a gallon, l cent to go to the
counties and the other cent to the
state. This difference between the
house and senate has not been smooth

outcome of the deliberations of the
committee representing the two bodies

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
Representative Bradford Writes Of
Work of the General Assembly.

Representative bTduIord WrfteS OF
Work of the General Assembly.
when the legislature adjourned Fri
day night for the weekend the indi-
cations were that the session would
last at least two weeks longer, says the
Fort Mill Times, The regular 40-day
session ended day or two ago and
many. members, especially Of the house,
are becoming restive under the pros
pect of having to stay In Columbia Is
days beyond the time for which they
are paid. Nor is their. dissatisfaction
without reason If the worthwhile
business which confronted the session
when it opened early in January had
been attended to as expeditiously as
the stress of the times demanded, the
calendars of both houses would have
been cleared two weeks ago and both
the people and the members would
have been the gamers. But there are
men in the Legislature this year, as
there have been men in perhaps all the
preceding legislatures, who like to hear
themselves talk and who waste time in
discussing relatively trivial matters.
Not only is there much talk which
leads to nothing substantial, but to this
may be added the week lend adjourn
ments and the sluggish attitude OF
some Of the committees in reporting
bills referred to them as further causes
of the heightened session, The aver
age member Is not Responsible for this
condition. He is anxious to get through
with the business OF law making that
he may rsturn home and attend to the
business of making@a living for him
self and his family. Perhaps there are
no schemers in the Legislature. One
prefers TO believe that all the members
are bent upon serving the people in the
most patriotic way; but it sometimes
happens nevertheless that this or that
member looks with favor upon the
prospect of having the session run into
extra DAYS and he works to that end,
seeing in it an opportunity to "get by"
with some pet measure which he knows
will be considered by few members, as
is always the case when the session Is
on it's last legs. Much money has been
unwisely expended and many question
able laws put in the statutes in recent
years as a result OF eleventh hour
legislation. Only last year the socalled
efficiency and economy commission
was created on the last day of the ses-
sion. The commission spent about
SIS. 900, most of which went to "ex-
perts" from the North, fetched in to
tell the people of the state how miser-
ably they had failed for 14O years to
run their government along scientific
lines. The beneficial results of the
work of the commission, if one may
Judge from the attention its recommen-
dations have been accorded by the
legislature, are microscopic.
