DECISION SET
FOR TODAY ON
VOTER LISTING
Validity of 1888 Statute
Will Be Passed Upon in
Superior Court.

Decision in a suit to test the con-
stitutionality of the state voters
registration law will be given this
afternoon by James D. Ermston,
special judge, Superior court, Room
four.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Belle Brown, 1909 North keystone
avenue, who seeks to mandate the
county council TO appropriate
100000 TO finance registration.
Councilmen, in refusing to grant the
appropriation, said that such
measure would add greatly to the
tax burden. They also contended
that legislators failed to repeal a
former registration act before vet
ing for the present law in the 1888
general assembly.
William Bosom, council attorney,
made the closing argument Satur-
day, asserting that the registration
law is invalid and as a result the
council can not be inundated to
make the appropriation.
Judge Ermston, referring to the
law during hearing Friday, as
serted that statement made by the
attorney general that no election
can be held in any county unless a
registration has been held, docs
not hold water"
The state constitution provides
that certain county officials must be
elected at specified times. The vot-
ers must elect them regardless of a
registration law, it is commended.

Path in Life Creased
for Possessor of Tact

"There is no doubt that it is ad-
vantageous to be born with a silver
spoon in the mouth" said Mr.. Cato
Ninetails. ut permits pleasant and
comfortable start in life, even if 1t is
lost in the subsequent hurly-burly,
as it often is. Still more advantage
GUS, think, is it to be born with
nice sense of tact in the tempera-
ment, because it is more certain to be
retained, and is more likely to afford
a pleasanter9 passage, through life.
Tact, should inclusively define, as
the intuitive ability to say the right
thing and do the right thing at the
right time, and never to say or do the
wrong thing. No one, take it, has a
more complete comprehension of the
value of tact than those of us who
have it not; those of us who always,
or nearly always, say or do the wrong
thing, to the embarrassment not only
of ourselves, but of other people.
"Those who would be popular must
have tact; but, on the other hand,
those who succeed in being popular
must often be bored, for the newt
able burden of popularity is more or
less boredom. To be sure, those who
lack tact, are often. as l have just
said, embarrassed, and, what TEN.
porarily seems worse, often snubbed ;
but as we so often tactlessly protect
ourselves from being bored, the law
of compensation would seem to work
somewhat to our advantage. 1t may
be, too, that there are those who are
so superiority tactful that they can
avoid being bored. These are the
princes of human society, whose oys-
ter the world is and who are, far and
away, more blessed than those who
began with and continue with their
silver spoons.-Indianapolis News.

Here is quicker relief from pain-the
fastest safe relief, it is said, ever
known. This is due to a scientific
discovery by which BAYER Aspirin

minutes after taking.
The illustration Of the glass here
tells the story. A Bayer tablet starts to
disintegrate or dissolve-go to work
almost instantly. This means quick
relief from pain fewer lost hours

And safe relief. For genuine Bayer
