! Hace algunos dias dimos una infor-
maci6n que fu6 muy comentada en-
toda la isla. Nos referimos a la idea
que tiene en- mente ell Lcdo. Francis
de plantear ante 4 Corte Federal, una
question importaltfsimo: la no juris-
diccion en- nuestra lisa de la enmienda

cir, La famosa ley de prohibition, que

a algunos, Y que en- Gambia, enriquece

En- Ell case de eel Lcdo. Eran-

consiguiera que la question prosperase,
acknowledgements que ell gobierno lleva-
ria ell case ante la Corte Supreme de

que ALI tambien, triunfa la question
~suscitada, entonces Sc armaria una
verdadera revolution.
Y no seria para menos. Pensad tan
solo que en- csc case, Ell Tesoro de
Puerto Rico, tendria que devolver, re-
integrar todas las multas pagadas, e
indemnizar a todas las personals cuyos
automobiles hubiesen sido c~onfscados,
pues Sc les habia despojado de ellos
por medic de una ley que no debia
regir en- nuestra isla, que no tenia
Jurisdiction. iPensad clianto dinero
no Sc ha pagado en- multas desde que
existe la prohibition IN Puerto Rico,
y cuantos fiamantes carros que Sc de-
dicaban al contrabando no han sido
confscados por ell gobierno! Pero en-
tonces, los d~elincuentes de ahora, Sc

HOW CENTRAL RAILROAD
SELECTS ITS MANY EMPLOYEES
Must Be Physically, Mentally and
Morally Fit in All Respects.

The great care with which railway
employees are selected and trained is
the topic of an interesting statement
by L. A. Downs president OF the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company.
ANY person who is employed by the
company must measure up to high
standards physically, mental y and
morally. The physical examination,
Mr.. Downs states, in certain depart
ments is even more eXaCting than that
of the United States army. Correct
conduct is required of the employee
who remains in the service. For IN
stance, in the transportation depart
ment the use of intoxicating liquor is
prohibited
Mr.. Downs points out that 1t means
much to the public to have its trans
portatioin affairs handled by picked
employees OF a high type OF manhood.
This goes far to insure satisfactory
service in both the passenger and
freight departments and gives the
travelling public confidence that every
thing possible for the prevention OF
accidents will be done.
In closing President Downs pays a
high tribute to the fine personnel OF
the Central of Georgia's employees, de-
claring that they have contributed
largely toward establishing the repu-
tation of the railway as a dependable
transportation utility.

MANY FRENCH WIVES
FORGOTTEN BY D-B0YS
STARTLING FIGURES COULD
BE GIVEN OF FAILURE OF
MARRIAGE DURING WAR.

PARIS.-While accurate statistics
are not available because they have
not been compiled and not assembled
at any single point, marriages OF
American doughboys and French girls
during the war turned out to be most
disastrous failures.
1t is estimated that Is per cent Of
the war brides were abandoned in
France when their husbands were re-
patriated with their regiments, and
when demobilized the jobless dough-
boys were not able to afford sending
for their wives aiterward, and grad
ually forgot them.
1t is said here that the French and
American authorities i'll New York
city could give startling hgures on
the numbers OF visas granted French
brides who went to the United States
and returned home to France, unable
to adapt themselves to- American lite,
lonesome without their fellow citizens
and relatives, and slow in learning to
speak English.
1t is estimated that most OF these
girls are living IN their homes III the
country or cities with their parents,
not divorced and generally working,
often at rough manual labor on farms.
The ruralites consider divorce or sep
aration a great disgrace, and since
most are Catholics they do not at
tempt legal measures.
Under the French law a wife can
not pet A divorce for desertiOn unless
the husband agrees to it, and most
of the girls seeking a legal separation
cannot get their husbands consent
because they are ignorant OF their ad-
dresses in the United States.
The French parliament is consider
ing revising the law, permitting Wo-
men to secure divorce a year alter
abandonment. and the matter will be
discussed during the next chamber
sitting

FLY SWATTING URGED
BY GEORGIA EDITOR
HIS ADVICE FINDS READY EN-
DORSEMENT BY HEALTH
AUTHORITIES. A PEST.

I'VE are not restless, nor unduly
nervous. and law knows we have new
er been accused OF an overplus of en-
ergy. but if there is fly in the house
we must swat it"
So declares T. S. Shope, editor of
the Dalton (Ga) Citizen, and his sub
stitution OF the editorial Eve" for the
personal pronoun 81" means one and
the same thing.
"A fly you say, little fly, looking
after its own business and yet it ere
ates the desire to murder" says Mr..
Shope. yes, it does because when a
fy is working at its job it is most
dangerous, for its chief business is
rearing a family.
1T is said the female fly will lay
120 to 100 eggs in filth, and from the
eggs come little maggots which mott
twice and become full grown in from
five to seven days. They then pass in
to the pupa stage from which the per
feet fly energies about week later.
Flys Rapid Reproduction.
This rapid reproduction of the fly
tribe is the most urgent reason why
we should swat early and often. Soon
hot weather will be here, and while
the unmoested fly OF today will soon
be gone the number OF her descend
ants will have jumped into the mil
lions
Flies carry germs, and thus dis
seminate disease. Typhoid, diphtheria
and tuberculosis are among the dis
eases so transferred. For the protec-
ton OF health the fly must be elm
mated, if possible. Right now is the
time to mend the screens, clear away
any trash and drain pools OF stagnant
water for often around the premises
are breeding places for flies and mos
quitos of with we are unaware.
Swat the fly! Swat him early and
often" is Mr.. Slopes concluding in
Junction and in this he has the en-
dorsement OF the health authorities
here and elsewhere throughout the
state.

SURGEONS CAN MAKE
MEN AND WOMEN OVER
PLASTIC OPERATIONS A R E
NOW USED TO CORRECT DE-
FECTS OF FACE AND BODY.

The remarkable development OF
plastic surgery during and since the
war, SAYS the New York Times, is
described by Henry ]. Schireson, OF
Chicago. at he modern miracles
wrought by plastic surgery are by no
means as difficult or impossible as
they sound" he said Every woman
has a right to be attractive and every
man has an asset when he looks like
a wholesome man, not a detaced one.
"Since the war, when something VI
tai and effective was necessary to ard
those veterans who were wounded and
deformed. plastic surgery has been
improved and simplihed Thousands
of victims of the war and OF accidents
have been so transformed IN their
features that the effects battle descrlp--
ton This type OF surgery is as Ola
as mankind, but it is only recently
that it has been put upon scientific
basis.
ut is really sculpture of the flesh.
Bulbous noses can be reduced wide
noses made narrow and long noses
made shorter. 1t is all done from with

is no parafin used In fact, | was in
strumental in helping to pass a law
in Illinois against the use OF parat1hn,
and | wish that such a law would be
passed in New York. Every month l
perform from sixty to eighty opera
tons to remove parafin from women's
faces, where it has been used III oper-
ations by INSCRIPTIONS physicians.
Asked if the majority of operations
today were performed on women DR..
Schireson said: Forty per cent OF this
work is done for men-In all walks
of life-the broker and professional
man as we'll as the actor. Part OF our
work is in making over the ears. Not
long ago | rebuilt ears Tor man and
made them smaller in the operation.
The eyes can be Strengthened, too,
and the whole expression OF the midi
vidual to say nothing of his outlook
on life is changed by one OF these
simple operations.
"in the matter of wrinkles, age
lines, crows feet and sagging skin
they can all be removed. A radium
peel is used for this operation and at
terward the face has the skin of
baby, soft and fine For example, a
woman with heavy old skin can un-
dergo an operation that will leave
her with a brand new skin and one
that will last as long as the old one,
While discussing further some OF
the features of plastic surgery the
doctor said that ivory is largely replac-
ing the use of bone. 81 expect to go
to Berlin in February to bring back
ivory for this purpose During the
war, it is interesting to note, the fore
finger was often used to replace the
nose. 1t was grated to the face and
amputated from the hand several
weeks later
These operations are usually not
at all painful They are performed un-
der local anaesthesia, with the patient
talking to the surgeon, often with a
mirror in his hand. The time required
varies from four minutes to a half an
hour, and there are no bad after Ell
fects. Recently | operated on an actor
in the afternoon and he was able to
be back at work at the theater that
night"
