superintendent of equipment,
Moses and Victor Goldberg, local
junk dealers, and G.. William Whaley,

time on charges of grand larceny
in connection with the alleged theft
of war materials which had been
turned over to the commission.
During the last few weeks William

way commissions revolving fund.
In connection with the audit at
the highway garage one of the prin-
cipal matters which is to receive at

\ Some State officials say the law Gre

contemplate full-time employment of
commissioner. The only provision
Of the law they say, is for $40
per diem allowance for commission

Crawford is drawing $40 day for
every week day, and in addition,
is collecting hotel expenses. Com.
mission employees who reside at the
place of their assignment are not
allowed to collect expenses.
Per Diem PrObed
Another matter which has been
noted is the increasing number of
days each month on which certain
commissioners charge per diem
allowance. Although the commits
sion meets on an average of about
two days a month, one commission
er, it is said, has been charging from
twelve to fifteen days a month. He
recently made a per diem charge
for a Sunday and the pay warrant
for that day was withheld by the
State auditor, it was reported.
The field examiners also will in
vestigate the report that some at.
taches of the commission have sent
their privately owned automobiles to

with tires and so far have made no
settlement. Automobile accessories.

Remy's Statement

State highway commissioners now
under indictment will be brought TO
trial early in 1926, Prosecutor Remy
declared. Two major trials which
precede it are those of George A.
Weaver and windsor j. Weaver,
partners indicted on charges arising
from alleged misconstruction Of new
buildings at Julietta, county hospital
for the insane, and that OF John
Thomas Shaw, colored. accused Of
numbering Mrs. Helen Hager
Whelchel.
II have just finished up one trial
that lasted five weeks. and these
coming trials will take much time
and preparation" declared Remy.
1.-THE Weaver and Shaw cases long
antedate this highway case, and
must be tried. The public does not
realize there are more than 1900
cases pending in Criminal Court for
my office to try. 1t is too bad some
of us are not twins so we could do
more work."
Remy laughed at the suggestion
politics are holding up the trial.
ST should. think it is known by this
time politics have no place in my
office. When / do get to this case
it will be tried thoroughly"

United States District Attorney
Albert Ward today said the Govern

the highway commission. 1t was
learned several months ago, through

The Procedure

While members decline to an
nounce their procedure, it is thought

formal request from a majority of
the House of Representatives to pro-
claim a special session of the Gen.

halted only by Speaker Harry Les

Odd japanese Custom
Fixing Age of Babies

Japanese babies are precocious, for
they are year old the moment they
are born, and two years old the first
New Years day, writes Carroll 7. Zim-
norman in Babyhood. That Is the
way the japanese reckon age, counting
the year In which the baby Is born
one, the next year two. and so on. II
you had been born in Japan Just as
the temple gong was about to boom
II on the night of December 81, you
would be, according to the japanese
mind, two years old with the first re-
sounding clang.
So in Nippon. one of a pair Of twins
might indeed be year older than the
other. This addition Of another year
to a persons age on January /, IRE
spective of the actual month Of his
birth, came about In this way: When
In 1870 the japanese calendar was
changed to conform to the European
months, the people at large could not
understand why they should be done
out of their real, as opposed to the
official new year. and so. at the be-
ginning of February. the same thing
starts again, and everybody considers
It his duty to celebrate the occasion
fust as his ancestors did.

"Jokes', in Wills

The gayety of the French often runs

have found their way into wills. A

orders of the Mendicant monks should
accompany his coffin. each carrying
four large candles-whieh he had pro-

FOR The HERALD.

If folks would mind their own business
And LET alone all others,
This world would find more happiness
And men would be like brothers.
Some people are kept very busy
minding their own affairs, while others
attend to other peoples affairs SO much
that they do not have time to attend to
their own. The latter class perhaps,
are the most diligent workers of the
twain, as they have so much more
ground to cover, requiring DAYS and
nights of peeping and prying to ac-
quire the necessary information, and
about the same length of time to let
the cat out of the bag for the benefit
OF the yearning public. OF course the
love of their work and the plaudits OF
idle minds greatly repays them for the
sacrifices made, but here's where the
trouble brews, when they have finish
their lifetime job, about all they have
to show for the sacrifices and time
spent, is love of work, enemies and idle
plaudits, while the other fellow who
minds his own business rakes in the
dough, makes innumerable friends,
and crowns himself with admiration.
Attending TO other folks affairs would
be mighty fine accomplishment ii we
would do it in the right way, that is II
we would always do it for the actual
benefit of the one concerned, but as
our good friend "Willie" Shakespeare
said, There's the rub" Instead of
helping the one concerned, we help
Everybody else VINO should not be con-
cerned, and do the fellow who would
be aided lot of unnecessary damage.
Playing the part of Paul Pry, would be
alright if we would peep down on the
good deeds that men do, but some how
or other. prying eyes very rarely see
people at their best and Oh, my, my, a
man al his worst is terrible spectacle
to behold. They are so shocked, and
as we all know shocked people are
pretty hard to keep up with. Their
tongues run just little too fluently
The Insane institutions of this country
are overlooking with poor people who
have worried themselves there over
other peoples affairs, and the sani-
tariums are just as full of worn out
figures who have been driven there
by the same people who are overflow
ling the insane asylums. On the other
hand the fellow who is minding his
own affairs is eating his three meals q
day, living happily, and running this
great fine country of ours Let's make
this one resolution today, that hence
forth we are going to mind our own
business, and we will find that we will
be happier. and the world generally
better off.

Botanists were able to identity the
species so they planted next each poor
little skeleton root a modern replica
orange trees where orange trees grew,
laurel and myrtle, and as BACKGROUND,
the same dim colored mountain that
ruined the former beauty, wreathed in
its eternal white cloud.
A trellis with a grapevine leans over
the canal; and at intervals of two or
three feet along the banks are set
little white marble statuettes-ex-
quisitely sculptured, set in the soft
green grass. A little sphynx, a sleep

with grapes-a sleeping GIRL But
loveliest of all was one Of little, fat,
smiling baby clasping a big fish in his

baby's statue sat and laughed, buried
deep beside that forgotten canal-for

be childhood laughing at time.
