A FINE HAUL.
Mrs. Arber. a very honest and re
fined woman, was on a street car, go
ing TO do a few errauds in town. On
the seat beside her was a woman OF a
very different character, coarse rude
and one who talked a great deal-in
TACT. too much. When Mrs. Arber
rose to get off the car She very absent
mindedlv picked up the wrong umbrel-
Ia. which happened TO be that OF the
woman who sat with her.
At the words Hey, there! You
gimme my umbrella back or I'll have
YOU arrested" Mrs. Arber turned
quickly to see the talkative woman
coming after her, with her fist shaking.
Mrs. Arber looked on her arm. and

answer given by Mrs. Arber. Il GER

She then returned the umbrella and
got off the car deeply Inundated at
her own carelesSness and the womans
loud and open accusation. The angry
woman having recovered her umbrella
returned % her seat mumbhng IN a
rather loud voice something about the
nerve Of thieves
After several crrandS were done, the
last OF which was to get four umbrellas
from a repair shop, Mrs. Arber again
boarded the street car on which she
had come TO town. To her surprise
she found her accuser OF a lew hours
before sitting close TO her. Seeing the
Jour umbrellas on Mrs. Arber's arm
and being fully convinced that she was
an umbrella thief. the woman sat Tor a
long time in scornful silence, watching
Mrs Arbtr closely.
Finally. she burst out with "A fine

CANNOT DRESS AND
UNDRESS IN AUTOS
GEORGIA TOWN HAS FOUND
1T NECESSARY TO IMPOSE
HEAVY PENALTY.

Forced by conditions, which the
town council of Tybee, Ga, regards as
shocking, to be the vigorous steps to
stop the practice OF dressing and UNI
dressing in motor cars, an ordinance
has been passed prohibiting the Gus
tom and imposing severe penalties
for violation.
Many, it is stated, dress and undress
in motor cars in broad daylight on
the main streets OF Tybee, changing
from street clothes, while sitting IN
machines. Residents and visitors to
the island have been shocked at the
practice, which appears to be on the
increase.
The second section OF the ordinance
provides that any one convicted in the
mayors court OF violating the ordi-
nance shall be fined one hundred dol
lars or Imprisonment for period not
to exceed thirty days in the Tybee
prison or the Jail OF Chatham county,
either or both at the discretion OF the
court.

recommend this ready-to-use prepara-
ton, because it darkens the hair beau-

as it darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush
with it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; at

natural color is restored and it becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you ap-

UNCLE SAM HOLDS
ALIEN PROPERTY
GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE SEIZ-
ED DURING WORLD WAR.

Although peace was restored nearly
six years ago the United States is
holding nearly S335.OO0,0OO OF aliens
property, mostly German seized dur
ing the war upon the principle that
it would be restored TO the rightful
owners at the close OF hostilities.
Under an executive order issued by
President Harding, Alien Property
Custodian Thomas w Miller exercis-
es almost complete control over the
vast wealth.
Costly to Nation.
He NAV sell. trade or otherwise dis
pose of estates up to $4,000 without
the consent of the owners, and with
entire secrecy. if he chooses, insofar
as public bidding or other usual safe
guards OF publicity affecting govern
ment dealings are concerned.
1t is costing the government about
S250,000 a year to maintain the admin
istrative forces that supervise these
holdings. More than 100000 was paid
in legal fees to lawyers from one end
OF the country to the other last year
for incidental administrative aid. As
much was paid out OF the trust funds
to defend suits against the custodian.
Club Over Germany.
By making no move to make resto-
ration the present administration in
tends to hold a club over Germany.
That is the theory. II the Dawes plan
proves effective, or if the reparation
commission eventually permits pay
ment Of the army of occupation costs,
this government intends to consider
giving back the seized holdings.
At the present time there are 28,4O0
active trusts, consisting OF almost ev-
cry kind of enterprise-worsted mills,
stores, real estate firms, bonds and
other tangible property.

BALE SELLS AT 40 CENTS
Reached Market on Saturday and
Classed as Strict Middling.

The first bale of Emanuels 1924
cotton crop was ginned at the plant
at Graymont on Saturday and was la
ter auctioned off The bale classed

to the usual early green cotton of that
section.
The bale Of cotton was grown on
one of the farms Of Sam Rosenberg,
of Summit Mr.. Rosenberg has several
hundred acres in cotton and is figuring
on selling at least 100 bales from his
crops. all OF which are very fine and
much above the average.
The cotton crop in this section is
much above the yield of last year and
the best since 1918. Many are predict
ing that Emanuel county will make
close to 10000 bales and yield OF
one-half bale to the acre is commonly
predicted. A great portion OF the crop
has been vigorously busted with cal
cium arsenate.

Association, with headquarters at Val

ization was willing to make some eX-
traordinary concessions to the asso-

great opportunity to develop and
promote the southern sweet potato as
marketing proposition.

Wet Senator Heads Big
Probe of Prohibition Law
Couzens, OF Michigan, Leads Dry
Inquiry. Enemy of Volstead Law.


Inquiry. Enemy of Volstead Law.
A wet senator will preside over
the senatorial investigation OF prohi-
bition enforcement conditions, which
begins in Washington September 3
Senator James Couzens, OF Michi-
gan, chosen chairman recently OF the
senate committee OF three republicans
and two democrats, which was au-
thorized at the last session OF con-
gress to conduct the inquiry, IS an
avowed enemy OF the Nolstead law.
Senator Couzens would go farther
than Senator Walter Z. Edge, of New
Jersey, and have congress amend that
law to legalize beer having an alco-
holic content OF at least five per cent.
The Michigan senator is entirely out
OF sympathy with the bone dry
stand of his former business asso-
ciate, Henry Ford. who has threaten
ed to discharge any employee found
with the odor of liquor on his breath
In his judgment such rule as that
is a "tyrannical abuse OF power"
Not that Couzens would encourage
employees to indulge freely in ntoxl-
cants. He believes, if they were not
denied to workmen they would &c
through hard days labor with far
less consumption OF poison liquor
Prohibition or at least its enforce
ment, he believes, is failure.
Though fighter and fond OF argu-
ment, Couzens seldom has taken Ut
cudgels against prohibition on the
senate floor That is because he comes
from dry" state which has on its
statute books one of the most drastic
enforcement acts in the country.
Couzens blames the petty prohibi
ton officials who often owe their job!
to corrupt wet" political bosses o.
organizations for the alleged failure o
prohibition enforcement.
