Law Clips Wings
of Young Pair
Globe TrOtt ers

Alfred Brewer and Melvin carson,
who claim to be 16 years old, but
look considerably less, are held at
the juvenile department of the coun-
ty Jail, awaiting the arrival of their
parents from Los Angeles, to take
them back home after several weeks
of adventure roaming around South
ern California and western Arizona.
The boys were picked up on the
Imperial highway yesterday after
noon. when they hailed Deputy
Sheriff William Ball and asked him
for a ride to Brawley. He made a
few inquiries and took the boys to
jail instead of to the northern city.
Both carried packs, and were load
ed down with enough baggage to
make grown man groan beneath
its weight
Search of their personal effects
brought to light a cheap .32 calibre
revolver. rope bride, wicked
looking knife in sheath, claw
hammer, small pair of hair clip
pers and a box of cartridges. The
youths were out to see the world,
and were equipped for almost any
emergency. Carson was "dolled up
in Il big Mexican sombrero with a
horsehair band, which gave him the
appearance 70 a young desperate
and it was plainly evident TO the
officers that the big hat was his
most valued possession.
The youngsters admitted running
away from home several weeks age
and the sheriff notified the Los An
geles authorities that the boys were
held in custody here. This morning
telegram was received from Acting
Chief II. H. Hill Of the Los Angeles
police, advising that the boys par

an end to their desire for adventure

VETS AND DRYS TO
FIGHT HAR DI NC'S
AMENDMENT PLAN
Danger Looms That Rum
Issue May Be
Exploited
Hy United Press LEASED Wire

WASHINGTON, Junel3- Presi-
dent Harding will run afoul Of both
vets and drys in congress when he
asks that the Voistead law be
amended to remove the internatiOn
al plications threatened by the
supreme court S drastic construc-
ton which bars liquor from foreign
ships in American ports.
The vets will oppose iberaliza-
tion of the law in this particular un-
less it is liberal;Zcd to domestic en-
forccment.
The drys will not only refuse to
;gree to lifting the ban as it applies
to foreign ships, but will demand
that it be tigntened on American
ships SO that they will be bone
dry everywhere in the world as
well as in American waters. They
will refuse to allow the Nolstead
act to be opened to amendment at
AL if there is danger of 4 'wet
victory on any point.
May Tie Up Other Issues
The real danger in this situation
from Harding's point of view lies
in the possibility of the congression
al deadlock that may tie up ad-
ministration legislative measures of
vital Importance. These include rail
roads tax reductions, etc.
The obvious difficulty of getting
satisfactory action out of congress
and getting it quickly is the reason
President Harding has determined
to seek by diplomacy rather than by
legislation to get an agreement with
the powers which will serve the
double purpose of ending smuggling
of rum and of permitting relaxa
tion of the american regulations to
Il degree that will meet foreign pro
tests. This diplomatic effort is now
| under way.
There is a deliberate purpose tc
make the liquor issue overshadow

PEKING. June 13.-President Ii
Yuar. Hung fled from Peking to
Tientsin this afternoon fearing an
uprising by dissatisfied Chinese
troops. Peking, the capital Of
Northern China, is left without gov
ernmer,s as a result.
Many foreigners are entering the
legations for safety. It is feared
that troops, who have not been paid
for months, will start rioting and
looting.
The unpaid Chinese troops threat
ened to seize Peking and it was this
that caused the hasty abdication of
Lii Yuan Hung.
The situation in Pcking is tense
with the possibility of armed revolt
by the soldiers and foreign legations
are taking special precautions to
protect their nationals.
Deserted at u critical iuncture by
a majority of his political friends,
President Ii Yuan Hung abandoned
a fight to retain office which had
kept up since his government re-
signed last month.
His flight to Tientsin was hasten
ed by the designations of Feb Yuh
SiSang, christian general, com
manding loyal body of troops and
Wang Huai Ching, PclSing chief of
police.
Christian General to Return
These designations were refused
and it is understood to be likely that
the christian ccmmanicr will with
draw his resignation and return to
duty in an effort to quell the threat
ened uprising.
In the meantime the treasury is
empty and the troops can scarcely
be restrained.
1t is generally believed that the
Chang TsaO Using cabinet, which
resigned after the trouble with tho
bandits but whose designations were
not accepted, will return and func.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

c. Could we now plant aSters in the open, and should they he trans planted after they come up. and how large should they be before transplanting? Mrs. k. A., Jasper. Ala.
 A. It would be safe now to plant asterS in open beds. They could re- main where the seed are planted. But they are easily and successfully transplanted where wanted. As to varieties, the branching types are the best, and they may be ob tained in colors or in mixed varieties. Seed stores generally handle them in separate colors or in mixed varieties
 e. My sweet peas have been filled to the ground. They first turn white and then black and we cannot tell yet whether the roots are alive or not. We cant afford to be without sweet peas and we write to ask if you advise digging them up and planting them oVer2 Mrs. <. G.. Hart selle, Ala.
 "A. It is not toe late to plant sweet peas for a blooming success. but we very much doubt if your sweet peas are altogether killed. We are rather inclined to the opinion that they will yet come out But If they cent make d showing in a few days. you might plant over with ;a reasonable assurance of success.

QUALITY OF SEED

II any man or woman goes to buy dress or suit of clothes. they are generally prone to examine the quail ty and are governed largely by this. It is a curious fact that in seed the price seems to be the determining factor A farmer will stick his head inside of the door of q seed store and ask in a loud voice. the price of, say red clover seed. After re ceiving the price, he will generally say: l can beat that. and so he oan. A lady calls up and wants to know the price Of asters or zinnia seed, the price is given and the answer is generally: q can beat that" So this is the way most seeds are bought and there can be no wonder at the frequent disappointment experienced by such careless buyers. 1t should be understood by every one that first class stuff is never as cheap a ordinary quality, and that. it gem erally pays to plant the best whether it be dry goods OF seeds. For eX- ample. the experienced c1utaloupe grower will pay $2.50 per pound for seed, yet the inexperienced grower will hunt all over town and find seed offered at 50 cents d pound. Of course there is q lot of fakes pulled off in the name of quality but as general proposition. if you pay reputable houses Il fair price for seed you P y expect the best ob- fainable

so much the better. But if nature will not operate it must be assisted or sickness will follow. Neglected constipation causes the blood pressure to go up 28 per cent, and that is the forerunner of hardening of the arteries. 1t makes rheumatism and gout worse, too.
 The ideal constipation remedy for people of advancing years is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a vegetable compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with pleasant tasting aromatics. It is gentle and mild, and does not cramp or gripe. It is a mistake to think you need a violent salt or powder or pill, calomel, coal-tar drugs and such things. They purge and

 Now try the milder method. Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin does not lose it's good effect with re- peated use, and increased doses are unnecessary. Mrs. E. M. Burgess of Enfield, N. C., who is 73, keeps herself in good health with it, and Mir. Charles Chorman of Suspicion, Staten Island, N. Y., wasted fifteen years and consid- erable money on other remedies before finding steady relief with Syrup Pepsin.
 Use Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pep sin yourself the next time you suffer from constipation, bilious ness, headache, sleeplessness, in digestion, piles or night cramps. Many thousands of elderly people use nothing else, and it costs them less than cent a dose. Druggists have sold it successfully for 30 wears, and it is the most widely bought family laxative in the world.

ABOUT FRUIT TREES

Just now when considerable tree planting is being done few factors should be impressed upon the planter. In the first place it is get ting late to plant trees. even in the Birmingham district, and before this is in print many trees will be well along in foliage. The main factors are proper condition of growth, timely and intelligent care and the selection of the proper varieties to serve the purpose sought A tree, like any shrub or flower, should be adapted to the climate and soil where it is to be grown. Trees se- lected for the Birmingham district should be those that possess foliage that withstands dust and smoke and that produce a root system not easily affected by our widely different soil conditions.
 oaks, elms. sycamores hackberrN. are some. varieties that measure up to these standards. About the only evergreen that is satisfactory is our southern magnolia. Don't be mfsled by cataiogs, advocating some fancy tree. not native of this climate. Look around you. and see what is being grown successfully and then select your preference.
