which allows politicians to fill up
police and shcriff's forces with
men selected more, or their capac-
ity as vote getters than for their
ability as officers Of the law.
Second, Ucrc is the dishonesty
in police and sheriff's forces oc-
casioned by the partnership be-
tween politicians and criminals,
the hush money practice which
buys criminals police protection
or purchases exemption rom pO-
lice interference.
And third, there is the love for
publicity which makes police or
other officials bIab for publica-
ton every move they make or cX-
pect to make.
All that the criminal has to do
to keep a jump ahead Of capture
in the jurisdiction of publicity
crazy police or officials is to read
the newspapers. He an learn eX-
actly what information the police
have about him, what kind Of
they expect to find him
wearing, whether he has mus
tache and birthmark and wheth
or the woman with him is red
headed or vellow-headed. With
such inside information it is only
because the criminal is a fool that
he is captured if he is captured.

ias published that Sheriff So

If you were unacquainted with
conditions as they are, yet knew
that every one of our counties
had sheriff with a corps Of dep

and that all of these law enforce

be impossible for any crlminay ia

Yet the disnnaying fact is that
criminals commit hideous crimes

stopping where they please, and
remain at liberty indefinitely.

STRAW BALLOTING" FOS OEmo-
CRATIC GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATES

4 "straw ballot" conducted by several
,..iI,, newspaDers of the State to determine
fine standing Of the Democratic candidates
i'm the race for the nomination for Cover
nor is probably being given more weight
than il merits in the attention of the voters
Straw" balIoting has developed into one
If the chief weaknesses of the people OF
the limited States. Some have reached the
noipt where they consider that an election
is over, is settled and the votes counted, as
soon as the returns from d straw vote
are i'm. Straw bailOtlng Is something 10
keen one interested and amused while
waiting for election day, 1t is no more
than that, in spite of some rather remark
able prediction forecasts which have
been based on STRAW polls In past cleo
tons.
The straw vote" referred to shows Nc
Donald Hoey, Graham and McRae, In the
order named, in the Democratic contest Tor
the gubernatorial nomination; but DR. Nc
Donald is listed with approximately As per
cut. of the votes, while HOey has about
"a per cent. and Graham has 10 per cent.
.IcRae gets less than 2 per cent. OF the
votes This calculation is based on some
thing less than eighteen thousand votes,
gathered by newspapers located in every
section Of the State. There Is no question
about the plan having covered the State,
as votes are listed from all Of the 100 coun-
ties; and the fact that the poll has been
conducted Systematically and honestly Is
not questioned How accurate it will prove
to be in indicating the results Of the voting
in the primary remains to be determined
At present The Times-News is not con-
WINGED that the voting will result as mdl-
Gated by the poll.
The straw poll" for Henderson county
gathered in 81 ballots. Hoey received 2s
votes, Graham got 81 and Mcdonald re-
ceived % votes One vote was cast fol-
McRae.
The poll was based on the selection OF
iStered Democratic voters in Henderson
county. All possible effort was made-to get
an accurate list of voters, but the condi
ton of the poll lists made this a difficult
job. The fact should not be overlooked IL
calculating the accuracy and value of tht
poll that whereas more than 800 names
were selected from the poll lists, less thai
100 voters responded. by casting then
straw ballots This leads 10 the conclusion
that it is doubtful if the poll in Henderson
county is sufficiently comprehensive to sup
ply in advance Of the primary reliable
indication OF what is going to take place
on June 9th.

have dreamed he would do. He had
made his new home for the Winter
right close to where Buster Bear
was asleep for the Winter. He was
so close to Buster Bear that he almost
touched him every time he went in
or out of his home.
Now you know this was under q
great windfall In the Green Forest.
1t was a great windfall. Whitefoot,
being himself so small, could have
spent q whole day exploring under
that windfall and still not have seen
everything there. He did do some
exploring. But for the most part he
went outside, never very far. Always
he was near enough to dart under
at the least hint of danger.
Whitefoot couldn't remember a time
when he had enjoyed such peace as
he enjoyed now. The only one that
he really had to fear was Hooty, the
Owl. All his other enemies kept away
from the great windfall., You see,
they all knew that Buster Bear was
asleep under there and they had so
much respect for Buster Bears size and
his great teeth and claws that they
did not want to disturb him. So
Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote and
Yowler the Bobcat, all three of whom
are very fond of Mice, kept away from
Busters Winter quarters. They did
not dream that Whitefoot was living
there. They wouldn't have believed 1t
had they been told so.

safe because OF his great wings, doesn't

Routine for
Toning Up
Complexion
General Repair Work
After Holidays
Needed.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A s IF We humans needed any en-
couragement in the natural inch-
nation to neglect ourselves occasion
ally, there's Summer with its sports
and care free spirit, its basking in the
sun and swimming; and there's Win
ter with its shopping season coupled
with innumerable social engagements.
It's the rare woman who comes
through without a wrinkle under the
eye or a Sallow tinge on her skin
after the Christmas rush. It's the rare
woman who does not need intensive
repair work.
If Santa Was very good to you and
left siZeable check, it would not be
at all amiss to spend a good part of it
in the pleasurable way of getting these
repairs at a fine beauty salon.
But If you cannot afford this start
your repair work Immediately at home
Your hair will need the full measure
of 100 strokes with a good brush You
viii probably want an oil treatment
and thorough shampoo.
Your skin should have several very
complete facials-and remember that
the three basic steps are cleansing
toning and nourishing.
Your hands can surely stand a thor
ough manicure and a massage Tor
severaD with lotion or cream to soften
the skin and build up resistance
against chapping.
At a beauty salon df you can spend
several hours in one) you might be
able to get the various treatments in
one day. But If you are giving them
yourself at home, it would be much
too tiring to attempt to crowd the
hair, skin and hand treatments all
in one.
My suggestion is: set aside one day
for the hair, one day for the skin and
one day for the hands. And after
the initial bit of repair work, devote
just few minutes every day to the
ensemble. 1t will do your heart good
to. see with what rapidity the beauty
ensemble responds to little care.
Another plan. Tonight before re-
tiring give your self fairly COM
plete facial and leave a little cream
overnight on face, neck and hands.
And just before or after treating your
skin, brush your hair thoroughly,
massage the scalp for a few minutes
and then apply hot oil to the scalp
tparting the hair in sections).
/ Tomorrow morning, you'll remove
the excess cream from your skin, pat
with tonic and dash cold water over
your skin. Then you'll shampoo your
hair. After the shampoo, and while
the hair is still moist, it is compara-
lively simple to set it. You'll have to
practice to get the knack Tomorrow
evening, give yourself a manicure, and
so on. The important thing is to plan
your time and not attempt to do too
much, or get fatigued in your quest
for beauty.
My complete bulletin on the home
facial is yours for the asking, also
the bulletin on the home manicure
and care of the hands, and another
set of bulletins on care of the hair.

will not change.
For centuries the turn OF the year
has meant much to mankind. In
England December 25 was celebrated
as the new year until the advent OF
William the Conqueror, whose corona
ton was held on January l, and who
ordered the year to commence with
that day. Gradually, however, the
English fell into step with the rest OF
Christendom, and began the year with
the 25th of March, as decreed by
Julius Caesar in his reform of the
calendar.
The Gregorian calendar in 1882 re-
stored January l as the gateway OF
the year, Catholic countries adopting
the change Immediately. Protestant
countries, however, held out against
the innovation, and it was not until
1852 that England finally acquiesced.
