Maturity of Fur Seals

Fur seals are remarkable in thar
the bulls do not reach maturity un-
til they are six or seven years old,
whereas the cows give birth to their
first pup when only three years Of
age after a period of CESSATION of
over eleven months. The bulls at
maturity average upward of 500
pounds each in weight, Will the
mature females average only about
70 pounds. Experimental marking
has shown that bulls attain maxi
mum age Of about fifteen years and
cows about twenty years.

High on a mountaintop on the
island of Flores in the Flores sea is
a curious set of twin lakes, says
Golfers Weekly. Although sepa-
rated from each other by only a
thin wall of rock, one is colored tur-
quoise-blue while the other is ruby
red. Stranger still is the fact that
the water in both lakes has the gen.
eral appearance and the complete
opacity of paint.

the agreement as it now stands has
now, however, been given by the tele-
phone company, and the franchise is
not effective as yet and will not be
until that has been done. The fran
chise would run for a period of 20
years.
The proposal, in brief, calls for re-
hitting by the company of all bills
owed it by the city, meaning the can
collation. of these Obligations; the
furnishing of Is telephones free to
the city, and the telephone poles be
granted to the city for free use in
stringing fire alarm wires and boxes,
and also police telephones.
A franchise was brought before the
Council several months ago after be-
ing approved by the telephone COM
pany, and it was started through
three readings before the Council
When finally ratified, objection was
raised by the company and the eff
fectiveness was held up
Whether the company will approve
the new instrument was not learned
today, but the document approved by
the Council Monday night was very
little different from that previously
approved three times by the City
Council at separate regular meetings
before it became effective, even after
the company gives its approval, and
requests ratification, it was under
stood. y
A mass or routine business was
transacted at the Council meeting.
Licenses to sell beer for consump-
ton on the premises were granted to
James Randolph Webster for an es-
tablishment on Montgomery street on
the ground floor of the Vance hotel,
and to T. H: Crabtree at his store
in the Farmers Warehouse building.
The fee is SIS.
The Council relieved City Clerk S..
B. Burwell of further responsibility
for insolvent tax lists for 1884 of ST.
844.37 in tax sales certificates and
$895.76 in personal items, and for 1885
in the sums of $3,551.22 and 81, 449.2 5,
respectively. But the clerk will con-
tinue to make collections on all these
items when possible.
Filter report and balance sheet rec
ords of the waterworks departments
were submitted by Mayor Irvine B.
Watkins as manager and were receiv-
ed and filed.
Police Chief j. H. .Langston was
entrusted to solve the issue raised by
the request of Arthur Poole and Clar-
ence Greene, colored, for three taxi
cab stands to be allocated them on
William street.
Mary A. Eaton again requested
something be done to furnish sewer
service to her home on Orange
Street, and the matter was referred
to Aldermen M. w. Wester and f. B.
Hight and Street Superintendent w.
M. Coffin for action.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-09-29

laws are being weakened by the fail
ure of many of the courts to impose
sentences heavy enough to act as de-
torrents, Stroup said. This statement
was concurred in by Director Arthur
Fulk of the highway safety division
of the Department of Revenue.
Both highway patrolmen and city
policemen know it is futile to arrest
drivers for traffic violations if the
judges in the courts are not in favor
of the strict enforcement of the laws
and continue to let them off with
very light fines or suspended sem
tences," Stroup said. II know of a
case right here in your own state of
North Carolina in which two pedes-
TRANS were killed under circum-
stances which would have justified
the indictment of the driver for man
slaughter, if my information is cor
rect. Yet the driver was let off and
not. even indicted or tried for reck-
less driving. There are probably hun
dreds of other cases similar to this
one.
Accordingly it would not surprise
me to see a number of states enact
laws this coming year making Jail
or road. sentences mandatory in GER
tain offenses, especially for drunken
driving, hit-and-run driving and cases
of reckless driving in which persons
are seriously injured or killed. Such
laws are the only way to insure ade
quate punishment of violators where
judges become too easy or courts are
dominated by politics"
The city of Louisville, KY, now has
a mine and nineteen law or or
dinance which makes mandatory a
sentence of nine days in Jail and $40
costs in all cases Of drunken driving,
Stroup said. A rather prominent and
wealthy women was recently convict
ed under this ordinance, fought it
through to the U. S. Supreme Court,
where the ordinance was upheld and
she had to serve. her nine days in Jail,
Stroup said. Since then there has been
very little drunken driving in Louis
vile, he said.
