KERBY ANSWERS
MANDAMUS WRIT
ON TITLE LAW

PHOENIX, Ar1z, Sept. 27 H9-The
conStitutionality of the motor vehicle
certificate OF title law as re-enacted
by s>le eighth State legislature in the
highway code is attacked in an an.
sWer filed today by James II. Kerby,
secretary of state to the suit brought
against him in the supreme court
by the Arizona highway commission
for writ of mandamus to compel
him to turn over the records and data
relating to the operation OF the GER
tificate of title law.
An alternative writ of n1andamuS
issued by the supreme court Septem-
ber T. when the suit was filed, di-
rected Mr.. Tscrby to show cause why
the writ should not be made perma-
nent. Action toward setting the suit
for hearing will probably be taken
tomorrow, it was stated.
Mr.. Kerby in his answer points
out that the eighth legislature enacted
a measure repeating the present GER
tificate of title law and that within
90 days after the Legislature had
adjourned referendum petition pear
ing 5,726 names was filed referring
the repeal to the electorate at the
next general election.
Notwithstanding that, he declares,
the eighth legislature then re-enacted
the certificate of title law in the
highway code, which was passed at
a special session last month.
1t is the contention, Of the secretary
of state that operation of the repeal
was stayed by the referendum as
provided under the state constitution
and is not effective until voted on
by the electorate of the state.

Early American Fight
for Liberty of Press

The fight for liberty Of the press In
America was started by the New Eng
land Courant, established by James
Franklin, elder brother Of Benjamin,
at Boston In 1921. The Courant was
from Its start an Opposition" news
paper, the first in the colonies, accord
ing to DIR. w. @. Bleyer Of the Unlver.
slty Of Wisconsin, who discovered the
only existing file, so far as known, of
the first sixteen numbers of the paper
in the British museum at London.
Notations ON the margin Of the pa-
pers indicate that the file was origi-
nally the property Of Benjamin Frank
lin, who worked for time as printer
in his brothers shop, and who was
listed as the publisher Of the paper
after James had been imprisoned and
forbidden to publish the Courant
longer because Of attacks on the Purl-
tan ruling powers In Massachusetts.
The first four issues Of the Courant
were largely taken up with the discus
sion of incubation for smallpox. In
oculatlon was favored by the Puritan
leaders and opposed by certain physi-
clans and leaders of the Church of
England faction in Massachusetts.
From the point of view of the devel-
opment of journalism the Courant Is
significant as the first American paper
to question the authority of the church
In matters Of everyday life.

Hidden Treasure Mute

When installing a bathroom In an
old house in Vienna not long ago, an
attic was disclosed above a closet
which was supposed to reach clear to
the roof. In 1t were the remnants Of
an old bakers oven and q wooden
dough trough covered with grain sacks
bearing the date 1868. Beneath the
trough were household effects that evil
IDENTIFY had belonged to a well-to-do
mlddle-class family, such as linen gar
ments, dishes, cups, Jewelry, $50 gold
coins and 1,143 silver coins. Among
the former we're several ducats. The
most recent Of the coins were dated
1871, but most of them were far older.
1t seems practically certain that they
represented the savings of merchant
who had hidden them there at the
time Of the Turkish invasion Of 1888.
The most important find dating from
the Thirteenth century was made in
1876, on the site Of the Oldest Jewish
cemetery, at Krems on the Danube.
These coins, which were discovered
when extending n neighborlng vine
yard, consisted Of thirty gold guild
ers, each weighing three and one-half
grammes, from Florence, Hungary. DO.

They were discovered at the side Of
skeleton, and several other coins were
unearthed later near the same spot

buried during the persecution of the
Jews in 1349.--Neues Wiener Tagblatt.

Scars Looked Upon
as Marks of Honor

Scar decoration is a widespread
practice. A wound is made In the
body, and then prevented from healing
until a raised scar has been produced
Practically all the Australian tribes
favor this method-among others-of
decorating the body. With some the
custom is connected with certain ia
boos. AS youth grows older these
taboos are successfully removed, a
new scar being added to mark each
occasion. In any case the scars or
clcatrices are rarely raised oil at once.
Usually the process Is prolonged
throughout the period of adolescence,
one or two scars being cultivated" at
a time.
Originally these scars were probably
received In battle, the recipients there
after displaying them as marks Of
honor. From this the custom of cica.
irritation would have arisen.
Nowadays, however, the scars are
regarded as an aid to beauty, and are
cultivated by both sexes In many
places. In the Andaman Islands, for
Instance, the women as well as the
men decorate their backs in this way.
It is the women, however, who perform
the operation by means Of broken
glass.-Popular Science Monthly.

Facts as to Suicide

Henpecked husbands may be sur.
prlsed to know 1t, but suicide Is more
frequent among the unmarried than
the married, according to study OF
307 cases made by DR.. s. Serln, ply
slclan of Paris. and reported by the
French correspondent Of the American
Medical association.
Suicide is resorted to as the way
out of llfe's problems more frequently
by men than by women and more
often by the elderly rather than the
merely adult, Doctor Serin finds. He
divides the causes of suicide into FIVE
classes: insanity, alcoholism, severe
grief, incurable disease and poverty.
