JUDGE SAYS CAR OWNER
CAN PAY $40 ALIMONY

ATLANTIC CITY, May BIN the
popinion of Vice Chancellor Ingersoll,
alimony comes before food, at least
for husbands who have been ordered
to support their wives. He made this
clear when Mark Strickland. 4 car
penter, was arraigned on charge
Of contempt for failure to make his
weekly payments to his wife, Bertha.
This looks like a deliberate at
tempt to avoid making payments"
observed the court. HE says he is
unable to live on $40 a week and yet
his wife, a cripple, is supposed to live
on the SO week alimony. If 1T is
necessary for him to go hungry In
order to pay this alimony he should
do it,
Strickland stated that his pay since
January had ranged between $40 and
$40 week, and he needed all his
money to live. He admitted that ne
maintained an automobile, but said
he had sold it.

animals live five times as
long as human beings after
having reached maturity. Man
reaches maturity at thirty and
starts on his old age period at
fifty or sixty. Dogs reach ma
turity at one and two years and
live from five to seven times
that long.
"Potato skins are an aid to
longer life" he added.
Touching again on alcoholic
stimulations, Hoffman, said:
"The moderate use Of tobacco
and liquor need not hinder an
extended life"

LARGEST STILL IN CAPTIVITY


Jos. Fornan, Sheriff of Barbour
County and his deputy, John Kennedy
captured one Of the largest moon
shine still if not the largest state, on
July End, 1923, in the Isaac Mcdaniel
Coal Mine in Pleasant district.
Some boys were in the mine the Sun
day bfore and the still was taken,
The boys notified Isaac Mcdaniel, the
owner of the mine and he then noti-
fled the sheriff who went and brought
it nto Philppi the county seat, and it
is now on exhibition in the Court
House. The sheriffs knew Of this
still about three months before but
were waiting until they could find it
in operation and the operators. 1t is
supposed to have been placed in the
mine about one year ago, and rumor
has 1t that il. is the same still stolen
from the Marsh Lake property two
years ago, and if SO this still is also
the oldest still known to any of the
mountaineers. Back about two gem
eratlons ago Marsh Lake used to CO.
crate the still in Taylor county and
many gallons Of good old apple
brandy and red liquor it has produce
ed. This still is about SIS gal. ca
pacity made Of copper 1t is heated
BY wood or coal and from the looks
Of It now one would imagine it was
some great monster from the depths
Of the sea.
Tse sheriff Tecently destroyed
thirty-nine stills captured in Bar
bour County and have about twelve
others to destroy as soon as the
courts are thru with them as evil
dence. There are two perfect stills
OF copper among these now in the
hands of the sheriff under lock and
key.
The executive officers of Barbour
county have been very active in their
execution of the prohibition law and
it is very doubtful if any county in
the state can<excell them. They, SO
far, have needed no state police to
scare away the offenders Of the law
but have been quietly picking out
the lawbreakers in most systematic
and thorough manner.

MRS. FRED BOOTH DIES

Tuesday night Mrs. Lora May
Booth, wife of Fred Booth, died at
her home at Laurel Hill after ling
ering illness of several months with
tuberculosis. She was young wo-
man, past thirty-two years old, and
daughter Of Mrs. Cora Lake and
the late F. p. Lake. She was a
member Of the Baptist Church.
Every attempt was made to save
the life Of this young woman and TO
continue the happy married union
but Of no avail. The Grim Reaper
Death stepped in and conquered.
Thus the community is deprived Of a
good woman, the church good mem
Der and the home good mother and
wife.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home today and the burial in
charge of the Rebecca Lodge took
place this evening in Fraternity
Cemetery. A very large crowd was
in attendance.
The whole community sympathizes
with the husband and children in
their sad hour Of bereavement.

gave tie boys a real outing in the
short time Of one week, and they GER
tainly enjoyed it; they can't tell all
they saw, for awhile at least, yet
they have some interesting stories
to tell Of the big cities Of the east.
The caverns, government buildings,
the ZOO, electric lighting and electric
power were wonders that win long
-linger in the minds Of these young
lads.

WHERE DO THE IMMIGRANTS co?

the Trade Record of The Ma
tional City Bank of New York
show that of the 100000 persons
of foreign birth now living in the
United States, about 100000 are
residents Of the Uppe~ Mississippi
Valley, 100000 in the Middle At
lantic States, 100000 in New
England, about 100000 in the
South, and approximately half
million on the Facinc coast.
1t is in this detailed study Of the
final distribution Of the immigrants
arriving in earlier years, says the
Trade Record, that the disposition
of the home seeker to select CHI
matte conditions and occupational
opportunity similar to those of his
former home becomes apparent,
and this is sharply illustrated by
the announcement in the press OF
New York that the bulk of the
scandinavian arrivals of the new
fiscal year have already taken
their departure for the farms and
cities of the Upper Mississippi
diCy, ESPECIALLY " Lie SldLcS oi
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin
and Illinois.
The last census of the United
States shows the distribution by
states of the 100000 perons Of
foreign birth, which still remain
ont of the total Of more than 30
100000 OF arrivals since 1880. OF
the more than 100000 Scandi-
navians in the country in 1920
10000 were in the state of Mime
sofa, nearly 100000 in the Dakotas,
10000 in Wisconsin, 10000 in
Illinois, and $1,000 in Iowa, while
the great manufacturing state OF
New York retained less than 1OO,-
coo Of the more than million
entering through its doors. The

conditions similar to those Of their
own country, are less devoted to
agriculture than their Scandinavian
neighbors. and of the 1866. COO in

Practically All Immoral Women

to bear out the belief of many health
|cficials that venereal diseases are the
most prevalent of all human ills.
For many years, medical science
struggled with the BLACK" or Bubonic
| Plague, the yellow fever pestilence,
land tuberculosis or the "White

longer problem In civilized countries
and the latter is fast being put under
control. But because Of the origin,

blindness, insanity, apoplexy, idiocy,
aocomotor ataxia, and many more in
direct ailments such as heart and kid
ney diseases. Eight out Of every ten
babies In West Virginia launched into
life without eyesight, were born blind
because OF gonorrheal infection at
time Of birth; and syphilis kills more
persons, directly or indirectly, than
cancer and tuberculosis combined, ac-
cording to figures produced by the
United States Public Health Service.
While immortality accounts for the
majority Of infections, innocent per-
sons sometimes b ecom victims
through public towels, drinking cups,
toilets or kissing. Men or women who
are immoral, are almost certain to
become infected sooner or later, say
the state health officials. Examina-
tion OF % immoral women in one West
Virginia city which has since been
s'p2y out of business showed that
every one Of the 90 had syphilis,
gonorrhea or both diseases. Syphilis
is the only known disease that can

this type called congenftal syphilis,
is one of the most terrible forms.
The United States Government is
cooperating with the various states
by giving financial aid, and distribut-
ing educational literature on the sub
ject; and the State Department Of
Health Is establishing clinics, dis
tributing free information, and using
every other channel to warn the pub
lie Of the dangers Of these diseases,
and urging examination and treatment.

Announcement in the New York
press that many of the immigrants
now entering the United States
! are making hasty departure for
/ the farm and cities of the North
west renews interest In the ques-
{ ton as to the sections of the coun-
try which are to receive the great
lily diminished supply of immi-
/ grants now being admitted to the
country. The records of the
movements of the new arrivals
indicate that former occupation
and climatic conditions still con-
! troll the immigrant in determining
his future abiding place in the
United States.
This is particularly noticeable
in the movements of the new ar
rivals from northern Europe, a
large percentage of the Scandi-
navian arrivals in the opening
month of the new fiscal year hav-
ing already departed for the
Upper Mississippi Valley. notably
the farms and cities of Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and
Illinois. With those from the
countries of central and southern
Europe the opportunities in the
!. factories and mines Of the North
Atlantic frontage are more at
tractive and the bulk Of the small
additions to our population made
under the law which limits the
number of each nationality per-
mitted to enter will find homes in
the area bounded by the Potomac
and Ohio on the South and Rocky
Mountains or The West.
This distribution Of the new ar
rivals follows the custom OF
earlier yssfs. Computations by
