ORDINARILY is given to assume that
- being a member of the house of repre-
sentatives does not necessarily require any
remarkable mental powers, but few people hold
the peoples representatives in as low esteem
as the legislators of Louisiana; for, m VOLTS
Revised Statutes Of 1920, page 1881 and Sec
ton 2727, there occurs the following:
The members of the police juries Of the
several parishes throughout the State, here
after to be elected, shall possess the same
qualifications members of the house of rep
resentatives and also the following additional
qualifications
They shall be able to read and write and
Most States have enacted some sort of rules

enacted laws prohibiting the owners Of live
stock from wandering around at WILL for here
we find:
"It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper
Of horses, mules, cattle sheep, goats and hoghs

Ordinarily one thinks of Virginia as q State
inhabited by refined ladies and gentlemen, but
by reading sectian l of the Bill Of Rights
In the Constitution of this State it is hard -
keep from concluding that in the not too dis
tant past cannibalism was tried and preSum-
ably found wanting, for the clause just referred
to reads as follows:
THAT all men are by nature equally free
and independent and have certain inherent

In 1915 dentists in several States were
stopped from advertising that they performed
painless dentistry, while along about the same
time the tipping of bootblacks, bellhops, por-

The now world famous hotel-bed sheet leg
islation came into being these years. Half OF
the States in the Union succumbed and
passed laws prescribing the exact length OF the

North Carolina also enacted a law decreemg
that there must be at least two feet OF space
between twin beds, and New York and Penn

cats IN bakeries.

The Livest Subject

Half century ago. women's
clubs devoted themselves exclu-
sively to Shakespeare, Browning
and classical topics. The idea was
to take the housewife out Of her
narrow, monotonous, hum-drum
arena into a new field Of inter-
ests, to broaden her horison and
give her recreation by change of
mental outlook.
Today the pendulum has swung
back. We have the family bus,
the radio, the movie, and oodles
Of clubs and distractions to take
us far afield. These have but serv-
ed to make Us realize how prec-
ious is the home and how little
we really want to forget it.

The Newer School

Several Of our cities are adopt
ing new type Of school known
as the 'twork-study- play" plan.
We have always known that book
learning was not the whole Of ed
ucation; but in. the simpler life
Of olden times, the home took
care Of the work and play and
left to the school only the study
part Of the balanced education.
In many homes, with their mod
ern convenieneces, there is no
wood-box to fill, no ashes to be
carried out, no front porch to
sweep and no garden to weed; and
city streets offer none but danger
Gus opportunities Of play. Hence

Wise Diet

The balance diet consists Of
three types of foods: (1) pro.
TENS; or tissue builders; (2}
starches, sugars and fats, or en-
ergy and heat productrs; and (3)
protective foods, chiefly fruits and
vegetables.
The tendency is to consume too
much of the first two classes and
not enough of the protective
foods. The first two classes are
acid-forming foods and too much
Of them tends to rheumatism,
govt, and a long list Of other dis
eases due to an acid condition in
the blood and tissues. To neutral-
ize this acid condition, eat more
cabbage, potatoes, prunes, apples,
celery, milk and all sorts of
fruits and vegetables.
The fruits and vegetables are
rich in vitamins and mineral salts.
Cheese, dried peas and beans and
peanuts are less expensive forms
Of protein. Milk is perhaps our
most valuable food. It is base
forming, rich in calcium and phos-
phorus, contains protein and is
regulatory. Everyone needs at
least two cups Of IL q day

Plant Bulbs Now


Fall bulbs may be planted any
time between now and the time
when the ground is frozen. Many
people forget about them until
they see them blooming in their
neighbors gardens in the spring.
A little fore-thought and fore-en-
ergy will give your home that
happiness, too.
Appropriate bulbs for fall plant
ing are: tulips, hyacinths, mar
cissus, jonquils, crocuses, scillas
and lilies. Lilies like : we'll

BRITISH EARL MEETS
RESCUER OF BOXER WAR
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Ontario, August 29.-
Memories of the Boxer rebellion in 1900
were revived today with the meeting
here of Earl Jllicoe and one of four
men who carried him wounded to q
Chinese junk after the earl, then plain
Flag Capt. Jellicoe, hadafallen during
an enemy attack
Petty Officer George Balcomb, chief
instructor Of the Port Arthur Sea Ca
diets, narrated the incident. He was Is
when he fought near Peking by Jelli-
GOES side. The landing party he was in
was forced TO fall back before an on
slaught Of 10000 Boxers and fight its
way down the PHO River in Chinese
junks.
AS they neared mud fort, Flag Capt.
Jepicoe was wounded in one lung and
crawled 100 yards to get to shelter
Balcomb and three others carried him
to safety. Balcomb continued:
That day we gained the fort, found
plenty Of ammunition and held out
until relief arrived. Our plight was
conveyed to the relief column by Ad-
nliral Seynour's Chinese servant, and
the Rough Riders Of Buffalo Bills Cir
Gus. which was then In China, were en-
Listed as a scouting party to find us.
Tom Mix, the movie actor, was the
rider who finally located us and brought
relief"
Balcomb never had seen Jelicoe again
until today.

Predicts Debt Revision

NEW YORK, August 29-Dr. Arnold
Wolfers, director Of politics at the Uni
versity of Berlin, predicted today that
there will be between 1000, 900 and
100000 persons unemployed in Ger
many this Winter out of a total popu-
lation of about $4,000 900.
DR.. Wolfers is visiting America to
act as chairman of the International
Student Conference at South Hadley,
Mass, beginning September l.
He said it is unlikely German repa-
rationS or other international obliga-
tions, now postponed under the Hoover
debt plan, will be renewed on the old
scale.
Forecasts Debt Revision.
Besides this" DR.. Wolfers said. 1.-The
short-term payments, postponed under
the Basic agreement for six months,
almost certainly will have to be con-
verified into long-tsrm loans, for the
simple reason that Germany will be no
better able to pay then than now.

ROOSEVELT'S PLAN
OF RELIEF STUDIED
G. 0. P. Support for New Bills
to Give SEC, 900, 900 Aid
Indicated by Leader.
BY the Associated Press.

bS Ine associated Press.
ALBANY, N Y, August 29.-Gov.
Roosevelt's plan to raise SIC, 900 900 in
State aid for the unemployed through
increased income taxes today had
pushed other legislative proposals and
political Squabbles alike into the back
ground.
With the special session of the Leg
islature in recess, Democrats and Re-
publtcans we're studying the details of
the Governors plan. based on the be-
lief that it is the States duty to care
for those of its citizens who through
no fault Of their own cannot make a
living.
Relief Bills Introduced.
The Governors plan includes these
proposals Creation of an Emergency
Relief Commission Of three to ADMIN
lister a relief fund of S20,000000,
through public works OF by direct, per-
sonal aid-the relief to be in the form
Of necessities of life, not money; so
per cent increase in the State personal
income tax; a flve-day week on all
public works contracts; authorizing
counties and municipalities for enc
year to issue three-year bonds for pub
lie works construction.
He told the legislators New York
State could not wait to see what the
Federal Government might do
Bills designed to carry out the Gov
ernor'S recommendations have been in
PRODUCED in both Houses by the Demo-
cratic minority leaders.
G. o. p. Support Indicated.
Republican support for the unem-
ployment measures was indicated by
Majority Leader George r. Fearon Of
the Senate, who, after a conference
with Speaker Joseph A. Mechanics Of
the Assembly, said:
"On the fundamentals of the Gov
ernors plan, we are for it. think his
proposal for increasing the income tax
is all right. Let's keep politics out Of
the matter
Gov. Roosevelt's recommendation for
legislation authorizing Investigations Of
upstate communities by joint commit
tees of the Legislature has been side
tracked until the unemployment relief
legislation is out of the way.

itself to a question Of confidence In
industrial Germany. The industrial Sit
uation undoubtedly is not as bad as
painted. There were even signs OF re-
covery as early as last May, before the
present politico-financial crisis set in.
We perhaps could never pay all the
reparations, even If the payments were
based on economics instead of politics,
but certainly the industrial obligations
are safe.
Calls Preparations Political.
Revision Of the reparations becomes
more likely when one considers that
they constitute a political, not an eco
nomic, arrangement. Regardless OF the
business of the reparations debt, the
German people-as would any other
people in the same circumStances-feel
they are giving money away to nations
which do not need it. Whether 1t Is
reasonable or not, it is absolutely essen
tial to consider the psychology OF
nation in desperate economic straits.
The fundamental need is to strength
en- Franco-German friendship. That
must be done 1t is the great opportu-
nifty for craftsmanship. and American
statesmen have done good work on that
line during their recent visits to Ger
many"

JOB INSURANCE HIT.

and Taxpayers.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 29-The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
today placed itself on record against a
dole" and general compulsory unem-
ployment insurance as harmful to the
interests Of workers and taxpayers.
In report of a four months analy-
sis Of views of economists and others
the association said It had found that
amy general scheme which tends to
set up a dole or bonus for idleness"
would inf1ict increased taxation upon
the public and dull individual initiative
through decreased responsibilities.
Insurance Not Opposed.
The association announced it was
not opposed to unemployment insur-
ance provided by employers for their
workers, whether the workers con-
tributed to it or not, or to such TN
employment insurance as insurance
companies might provide if permitted
by law to do So
Compulsory non-contributory pub
lie unemployment insurance" the as
ISOLATION stated, ~ is only the
starting link in a contemplated COM
plete scheme OF social insurance to be
paid for by national and State govern
ments and which ultimately will in
cluQe insurance Tor lnduStr1al acc1-
dents, non-industrial accidents, indus
trial diseases, i'll health, disablement,
maternity, old age and death"
Other Forms Certain"
The report added foreign countries
had found one form of public social
insurance was sure to be followed by
advocacy of others. The forms re-
lating to personal insecurity it found,
will almost certainly result in a weak
ening of incentives to reliability and
job-steadinesS. The regular receipt of
money for which no equivalent in
work is rendered makes against every
thing that is good in the receivers
life-the innate ills of idleness are
increased"
