SIMPLE DEVICE SAVES
LIVES AT CROSSINGS
Bottle-Neck Curb Arrangement
Forces Autoists to Use
Due Caution.
BY the Associated Press.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, March 2S.-
The Florida State road department
has devised a simple and inexpensive
device that promises to cut down rail-
road grade crossing accidents. One
already is in use as an experime ent
and the department plans to build
others in its Statewide road con-
struction program.
The device now in use is located
on State road No. l at Cottondale,
where the highway crosses the At
lanta and st. Andrews Bay railroad.
1t consists of two parkways, one on
either side of the railroad, inclosed
by a concrete curb which divides the
travel, causing the motorist going in
one direction to pass on the right
side of the parkway, while traffic in
the opposite direction goes to the left
One section of curb begins 20 feet
from the end of the railroad ties on
either side of the railroad, and is con-
structed along the center line of the
highway to the end of the ties. An
other section begins at the same
point and is constructed in an arc OF
a circle on the right OF the center OF
the highway, and intersects the first
section of curb 20 feet from the end
of the ties. The greatest distance be-
tween these curbs is 10 feet, and the
curve is sufficient to make it neces-
sary to slow down to get through.
A sign designating the railroad
crossing and warning to go slow is
placed in the parkways at the ex-
treme ends away from the railway as
Il warning during the day, and a red
reflector is placed at the same loca-
tion as a warning at night. Flowers
and shrubbery may be planted in the
parkways to 'beautify the spots.

Bright Future

Some day old plans will bump the
bumps, expensive methods go to
smash, and when we're buying pups
or pumps, we'll ask no tick, we'll all
pay cash. The merchant prince will
not remark to his assistant, Clarence
Clack, Smith jumped the village
after dark, and much l fear he won t
come back. He owed us many plea
yunes, with which he failed to come
across; we must advance the price
of prunes if we'd avoid a frightful
loss" AS things are now we have
to pay for all we buy in marts oi
trade, and also settle for the jay who
scoots and leaves his bills unpaid
Behold the merchant princes books
they bear the names of many gents
who purchase beeswax, hunks and
books, and never pay the helpful
cents. And we must pay more for
his Junk because of this, the prince
admits; we often have to pay a
plunk for something that is worth
6 bits. He can't afford to lose the
scads charged up against a lot oi
beats, SO we, the honest paying lads
are taxed more for our duds and
eats. And every time / pay bill
know l dig an extra crown because
some beat, with vicious skill, had all
things charged and jumped the town
The merchant princes, soon or late
will frown upon the charge it
chump; they'll throw away the old

Ex-WIFE SAYS DUKE
DIVORCE is INVALID
Sues Tobacco Magnate for Main
tanance-Decree Obtained
20 Fears Ago.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 2S.-Although
divorced nearly 20 years ago by
James B. Duke. tobacco King" Mrs.
Lillian n. Duke, is suing him for
separation and maintenance. main
tanning that she is still his wife.
This action was disclosed today
when former Gov Nathan L. Miller
counsel for Mr. Duke, moved to dis
miss the suit. He obtained a show
cause order from Supreme Court
Justice Mullan and there will be a
hearing April s.
Mr.. Duke. who last December do
mated approximately s46,0OO,008 to
Trinity College of North Carolina,
which then changed its name to
Duke University, obtained a divorce
from the plaintiff in New Jersey in
1905. A year after 1t was granted
he married Mrs. Nanaline Holt In
man, of Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Miller tonight said that Mr..
Dukes former wife carried the case
to the court of last appeal in New Jer-
sey and that the validity of the divorce
is unquestionable.
1t is understood that when the di
vorce was granted Mrs. Duke was
given 100000 by the tobacco mag
nate. In 1922 she lost s325, 900 cash
and $4,000 worth Of jewelry in a
fraud engineered by Alfred E. Lind

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Poland, March 2.-Fear-
ing a so-called Chinese invasion be-
cause OF the visits to this country OF
nearly 1000 Orientals during the last
few months. the Polish government
has decided that no more Chinese will
be admitted until their applications
have been passed upon by the War
saw foreign office. The Chinese gov
ernment, it is understood, is awaiting
further details of the Polish govern
ment's action before taking up the
question with the Warsaw officials
The invasion began last Fall, when
Chinese peddlers began arriving in
Warsaw with Chinese wares and Gu
rios, most of them coming by way of
Berlin, where visas had been granted
by the Polish consulate. Some weeks
later several hundred additional
Chinese applied for permission to
come to Warsaw and were granted
visas, and early this year there were
further applicants, until it is esti-
mated that approximately 1000 ped
dlers had visited the country, all rep
resenting themselves to be trades
men.
Recalling the fact that several
months prior to the outbreak of the
war Poland, then under Russian rule,
was visited by several thousand Chi
nese, all representing themselves to
be tradesmen and speaking Russian
and German f1uently, the Polish au-
thorities have become suspicious.
They have received reports from their
agents that some of the Orienta!s
posing as tradesmen are in reality
engaged in espionage. probably for
the Bolshevist government. They
speak Russian as well as German,
and appear to be prosperous whether
they. do. much business Nnsnot,

Elaborate Chinese
Rites Mark Close
Of'Year of the Rat
Ancient CeremOniaLs Are

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
FOoCHow. February 1.-THE Chi
nese year just closing being the year
of the rat" when all evil influences
are most potent, recent months
have seen the greatest revival of the
rites OF "puo-do" within the memory of
any many now in Foochow.
Puo-do" are special and most elab-
crate prayers offered for the outcast
dead. who are supposed to return and
plague the living when prayers and
offerings are not presented for them.
Every or 10 years villages and
cities in north Fukien observe these
rites for protection against angered
and injured spirits, but this year, be-
ing also the first of a Chinese cycle of
so years. affairs have been set up in
scores Of places around Foochow and
priests are chanting their prayers.
Usually from 5 to 20 elaborately
decorated altars are erected in tenn
pies or private houses, depending
upon the population Of the village or
town. Special plays descriptive of
possible punishment in the hereafter
are given, sometimes by use 6f pup
pets in miniature, sometimes by life
size papier-mache Images operated
from beneath the stage Huge
mounds of cakes are provided as Of
ferings, usually accompanied by
feasts for the living.
The least ornate Of these village
celebrations costs some $500 and fire.
quently the cost mounts to many
thousands.
The ''puo-do'' is said to be a Fukien-
ese rite, and the village OF Uong-
dong, near Foochow, reputed to be the
original home Of the ancient custom,
witnessed a celebration lasting seven
days. People from all the region
around, including scores Of Buddhist
and Taoist priests, gathered in the
village and the nightly crowds num-
bered thousands. A modern and
western note was injected into the
age-old observance by the bright
lights furnished by a portable electric
plant in place of the customary dim
yellow lights of candles or the CLEAN

RIO DE JANEIRO. February 21.-
Reports from Sac Paulo announce the
opening of a prohibition campaign
the publicity to be in charge of a
prominent newspaper, o Estado de sac
Paulo.
There are three temperance organ
izations in Brazil. the International
Order of Good Templars, with three
chapters; the National League Against
Alcohol, whose president is DR.. Miguel
Calmon, minister of agriculture, and
a municipal club in Porto Allegro, Rio
Grande du Sui, where the medical
students have initiated a fight against
intoxicating drinks.
Drunkenness is not a vice of veal
thy and middle class Brazilians, who
prefer light wines, soft drinks and
mineral waters. Public saloons in
Rio de Janeiro are as respectable and
quiet as tea shops, and 1t is not un-
common to see a Brazilian and his
wife enter a saloon at midnight for
ice cream.
Although the city has more than
100000 inhabitants, there are only
three saloons Whlch cater 70 prosper
Gus business, the Brahma, the Ma
tional and the American Bar. There
are four additional public saloons in
the city located in the principal ho-
tells. All tea and coffee shops serve
beer.
Laborers Free Drinkers.
BraziPs problem is among the la
borers, who drink large quantities of
very strong rum. Scores of beer and
rum shops are scattered through Rio
de Janeiro in the districts inhabited
by the poor people. The drink habit
in the rural communities is said to be
universal.
Students of social conditions claim
that growing problem in Brazil is
the increase of the drug habit, espe-
cially cocaine, morphine and hashish
