 Nr. Gaeto reports that when he discovered that the red light was a crossing signal and not tail light he stopped and attempted to explain how 1t looked and advised that a larger light be used. He reports that he was told by the woman that he ought to be arrested, and that an- other railroad man came along and told him to Go while the going is good"

TENNESSEE HAS
 ANCIENT DEBATE
Still Arguing Over Jackson's
 Victory at New Orleans

Nashville, Tenn. Oct. +. P- Whether Andrew Jackson's victory over the British at Nfw Orleans on January s, 1915, was analogous to a knockout scored after the final gong Is a question Tennessee is at tempting to settle.
 The chief complaint brought be- fore the legislature, which appoint ed a commission to investigate the matter, is that school histories convey the impression that the battle was a nedless one, in that i- occurred Is days after the treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent."

TALKING to a roomful of high ! school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls IS to keep the system furctioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mech ani- cally and can't disturb the narmal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take spoonful every night for few days. It's thoroughly safe and harm- less methcd. It won't cause distress OF gas pains or griping.'
 N0t Like Medicine
 Nu 'ol is different from any other sub- stance. It contains no drugs or medi- cine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works SO easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every druggist has this remarkable substance.

Knockout" had not been delivered another fight would have started. Thew say the British intended to conquer New Orleans and to hold that Louisiana territory the Treaty of Ghent notwithstanding, on the point it did not belong to the Unit ed States.
 England recognized neither the recession by Spain to France in 1900 nor the conveyance by Bona parte to America in 1903, these students assert, and yelled reserva- tions to this effect were made at the peace conference.
 Jackson declared this informa- ton had been confirmed by "diplo- matic sources of unquestionable authority" Since Jackson was Tennessean, Tennessee students of history and the legislature de- sire to learn the true significance" of the battle.
 Reau Folk, former state treas urer; John T. Moore, state histo- rian; Claude G. Bowers Of New York. pr. John s. Kendall, profes- sor Of history Tulane University, and Judge John Dewitt of Nash vile are on the commission.

 Tong Issues

San Francisco, Oct. II. tP,-It is unlikely that there ever will be an- other serious tong war in the Unit d States. influential members Of the Chinese Peace association say.

There are chapters In many other American cities, and each has equal ranking, differing from the Chinese court system. in which the San Francis co tribunal is recognized as su- preme.
 The various chapters are similar in structure. 4 president is elected for two years, Lee Ching Tat hold ing the position here. There Is an executive committee Of % mem- bers, appointed by other assocla- ttons, clans, torgs and principal families.
 Finding that It is more difficult 10 settle an outbreak after violence has been committed than to head it off, an effort is made 10 compro- mise disputes before serious trou- hle has occurred,
 Loyal members Of the associa- ton are scattered throughout the country. One Of them, learning that trouble is brewing. writes or telcgraphs to the secretary Of the nearest peace association. The president immediately calls q meet ing of the executive committee. The committee discusses the mat ter and probably names an arbiter, whose expenses are paid 10 the scene Of the trouble, but who works without pay. If the arbiter cannot harmonize the differences he en- deavors to prevail on the dispu- tants to come before the executive committee of the chapter as a whole, and the matter is threshed out at conferences.
 If trouble impends in Detroit, Chicago may send the arbiter or the Detroit chapter may invite 2 psacemaker from San Francisco or New York.

They obtain training in obedience. loyalty and efficiency, as well as training in technical and scientific matters. It is an education where theory and practice go hand in hand

 Most of the recruits have had grammar school. or high school training. Some of them could not af- ford to go to college. But the navy takes them and gives them an. edu- cation supplementing what they have already had in the schools.
 "The young man in the navy gets an education whether he wants it or not, He learns discipline; he is trained and drilled; his health is looked after; and he obtains a. req sonable compensation to supplement his food and clothing allowances.

COOPERATIVE EFFORT A WAY
TO COMMUNITY RETIREMENT

This community represents
much to all of us. 1t is home;
1t is where our property interests
lie. The better the community
the better it is for each indiyid-
ual member of the community.
A greater degree of prosperity
for the community as 2 whole
lei a greater degree of pros
perity for each Individual.
Making a better community, a
more prosperous community, is
the work of individuals, but of
individuals working together
along comprehensive and progress
sive lines. AS a community we
get nowhere when each one
travels his W path, each lead
ing in a different direction, and
each striving for a different
goal. We have collective inter-
ests and to accomplish anything
must work collectively-each for
all.
When we think of our selves

each member of the community
has a place, we can visualize the
benefits of cooperative action
passing from one to another
around this circle. When by
such cooperative action We
increase the prosperity, the
wealth of the community, we
have increased the prosperity,
the wealth of each member of
the circle.
A better town means a better
market place for the farmers
who are a part of the community
and a better market place means
better farm values. A better
town means better property val
ues, and this. without increasing,
but in reality decreasing, the
burden of local taxation, means
better schools for our children,
better streets, more attractive

living conditions for all of us.
Communities in which the in
dividual members are not work.
Ing together are dying because
of a lack of cooperative effort.
With each backward step there
comes a decrease in property
values, a decrease in the num-
Der of opportunities for the in
diyidual in the home town. This
community cannot afford to be
numbered among those that are
going backward. We must, and
will, keep in the forefront of
those that are going forward.
We can do this by working to-
gether for the interest of all.
1t means that they must afford
orr farmers a market place for
such of their products as are dis
posed of through local buyers
and sellers. But for the mer-
chants to do those things means
that we must give our merchants
the opportunity to supply our
needs. They cannot carry ade-
quate stocks of merchandise If
we do not offer them patronage
for such stocks. We must real
ize that the prosperity of
merchants out adds to the pros
perity of the community as a
whole, an increased prosperity
Tor each of us as individuals.
Our bankers, our professional
people. are here to render SER
vice to each and every one of
us as individuals. Our inter
ests are necessarily their inter
ests, and their interests are our
interests. We grow and prosper.
only as they grow and prosper.
We are all a part of the com
munity circle, each unit of which
is dependent upon each other
unit.
Let US make our community
a better place in which to live
by cooperative effort.

Few motorists realize that at GER

to see an approaching car or a ped
