Men; 100 Gallons
and 10000 in Mash

One Of the largest raids ever made in
Holmes county took place last Friday

swooped down on lower Holmes county
in the vicinities Of Coxburg, Zeigler-
vile and Eden, and captured 16 men.
eleven stills, 100 gallons Of whisksy
and 10000 gallons of mash in report
made at Jackson this week.
Fourteen white men and several negroes
were arrested and carried to Jackson be-
fore United States commissioner for
hearing. Four were lodged in jail In
default of bond, namely, T. 81. Moore
head, Sam Henry and William Pettus,
and Ned Hays, negro. Twelve were re-
leased on bond to appear before the
United States Circuit Court that will
convene in November. They are as fol-

ard, George Roberts and Dudley Nc
Lean, white, and Jack Gwin, negro.
According to reports from Jackson,
Prohibition Chief Daily had with him
four deputy United States Marshals and
seven of his field force. The moon-
shine operations were wide open, and in
some cases liquor in homes and two Of
the stills taken were operated on the
premises of the owners, it was stated.
Reports state that Investigations had
been going on for several months by
the revenue departments, many of the
officers visiting the section, making
purchases and mingling with the alleged
liquor manufacturers, and obtaining first
hand information. Working with clock
like precision, they raided the section
at the appointed hour and arrested the
above named parties in their determine
tion to clean up this violation of the
prohibition laws. All prisoners were
carried to Jackson by Federal officers
in automobiles labeled Specials" ac-
cording to the Yazoo County News.
According to several citizens residing
in this vicinity, officers are still trav-
cling in the territory and list of war
rants numbering GA are yet to be served
on alleged violators, in the raided and
immediate vicinities.
Most of the arrests were made in
lower Holmes county near the Yazoo
county line, the officers entering the
vicinity from the direction of Eden.
Twelve cars of officers formed the
raiding party, it was reported.

what lacking in fi1ial respectfully
get into lots of mischief that they
would not find If they stayed at
home to play.
OF course, there is a great diff
ference in children's natural tenn
permanent; but most II them can
be made nervous by one means or
another. If you really want your
child to be nervous, here are SHINE
tried-and-true recipes for achiev-
Ing that result:
Be nervous yourself. Tell your
child about your nervousness, so
you can get his sympathy. Re-
mind him often that he is nervous,
just as you are. Tell other people
in his presence how nervous and
queer and odd he is. Worry him
about his health and his habits.
Worry him with your worries
about him. Coddle him physically
and mentally. Make sure that he
has no independence of thought
and action. Expect too much of
him at home and at school and
keep driving him.
For the opposite effect, take the
opposite course.

What's The Chief
Requisite Of Ideal
Husbands?
BY Lucy Lowell

NXTHAr do YOU say IL the one
w indispensable quality IN the
makeup Of an ideal husband?
Would You set that quality
down az something existing in the
man himself? Or as something
connected with his possessions
his wealth. position. prospects?
is the quality you set your ap-
proval upon something time and
circumstances may affect? Or il
1t beyond the reach Of change?
The first OF these questions was
put to group Of young women
by New York Clergyman who
wished to find out what type Of
man girls like to marry these
days.
What he ascertained from their
answers. 1t seems to me, might
be taken as a basis for the theory
that modern marriage il failing.
Mind you, do not say that
modern marriage does fail!
think a large percentage Of mar
riages are happy and successful
as they always have been. But
many do fall down. and perhaps
it is because large number OF
young women regard as Of first
Importance in the ideal husband
the ability to support wife and
prepare for the future. Z
This was thu first and ma
jority answer. After that came,
in the order named, these quail
ties: Character, good education,
mental and physical cleanliness,
good health. q respecter OF per-
sons, strong-mindedness sociabil.
ity, purpose in life, honesty.
Most Of the girls, in other
words. thought less OF the man
himself than OF his possessions.
They overlooked a basic, inn
mutable principle for what any
small chance may sweep away.
The ability to support q wife
and prepare for the future Is an
essential quality in a young man
about to marry and found home.
But it is not THE essential
quality.
There is only one. 1t is CHAR
ACTER.
Upon character is based every
desirable thing; a girl sure Of this
in a man could marry him II he
had not another thing and feel
herself safe.
For character holds all the
other dispencable qualities these
girls have named; the man OF
character will be mentally and
physically clean; he will be a re-
speUter OF persons, strong-minded.
honest. and his purpose in life
will be so clearly defined that
there will be no question Of his
ability to support wife and pre-
pare for the future.
Has good education or sociabiI-
ity ever made an ideal husband
or a happy home? Sociability too
often has done exactly the oD-
posite and education, taken by
itself, is nothing upon which TO
build harmonious married life.
Not a hidden thought of ease,
luxury, greed-~the wish to be we'll
supported AMI have q brilliant
future assured--but the desire 20
unite with fine. high principle,
should sway yo ng women in their
choice of a husband. Character
is all that counts.

Sex differences are strongly
marked in brain size among men
and apes. The male gorilla's brain

mans, IL per cent But the dis
parity is due to general dispropOr-

Structurally the brains of the two
sexes are the same, and as COM

More males are born than fe-

the vicious clement in, such

basin of the pelvis-of which the
lilac crests are easily felt be-
meath the skin at the sides Of
our abdomen-meet in front to
form the pubic symphysis. The
joint of the symphysis is made
by strong ligament which yields
under pressure. In the male
pelvis the ligament is narrow; in
the female, wide. The slope of
the pubic bones below the joint
is also greater in the female, an
additional factor in enlarging the
outlet eof her pelvis.
Can our pelvic girdle become
more "human?" The upper rim
might become better adjusted to
support the body, but a girdle so
narrowed as to prevent childbirth
stops variation in that direction.

This seems to set limit to the
size of the human brain at birth.
In most stubborn deliveries the
head is too large to pass the bony
outlet of the pelvis. We may
assume that the limit Of brain
size at birth has been reached.
Mans pelvis is long. narrow,
strong; woman's broad, shallow,
delicate, roomy. Her thighs
are relatively greater. Her car
riage differs from mans because
the heads OF her thigh bones are
farther apart. AS she transfers
her body from one thigh to the
other in walking, she must make
a greater effort. Her pelvis is q
compromise between an arch to
support viscera and an outlet to
make childbirth possible.
