Barred From Sale in Furniture Town. High Point. Feb. 23.?A city ordi-j nance became effective today making it unlawful to sell, distribute or^gh away copies of certain publicatio deemed by the mayor and council to be obscene. The ordinance, adopte< by a unanimous vote of council last night, specifies the Whiz Bang, ti ' <> opus Cat and the Hot Dog. fine of $23 is imposed for each violation. A committee from the Rotary club appeared before council and requested that the publications be banne d from the city. They ari largely responsiDie ior me uemi j quency found among children o . school age, the committee said. \ The committee had interviewed a school teachers of the city a* t v ere surprised that the publication =uch a large circulation am: ' c ng girls. One teacher reported !l over 20 copies in her room at on ? t time. The magazines are shipped by express, and the inference was I drawn that the publishers use th : service in order to avoid t ^ . tl law against sending obsceni matter through the mails, <r'?od authority we under. I .a ih: books spoken of in th 1 above article, are being sold in Che- 1 raw and are being read by our school 1 boys and frirl-. We saw a copy c th" "Whiz Bang" today and can testi y t = it proper reading for any- , one. Some par's of it are positively 2 indecent, tho* always by the inference i you draw from what is written.. On 1 the title page is the statement that 1 th" bock is entered at a U. S. Pos ' Office as ;.cond class matter. It 1 rh's i? true we can't see why the publishers are not handled by th < government for sending indecent pub- , lications through the mail. Surely if I an indent meaning is plainly in- i tended, the wording is immaterial. ' O r Council (if it is within their ? v who have the well be ~ of our young people at heart will ( ? cinly prohibit the sale of thi , books in town. t < Couldn't Spare Him. .

March 8, 1SG2; August, 1921. These dates comprise the liistory of Ironclad monitors, the first of which, invented >y John Ericsson, met and defeated Ihe Merriraac at Hampton Itoads on lie date first named. The last of the British monitors, after seeing minor service in the World war, was eonsigned to the scrup heap by the admiralty last August. The history of the monitors goes >ack to the days of Napoleon III, when Jreat Britain was in a ferment, appreicnding invasion from across the channel. Ericsson, a Swedish engineer, urged the French emperor in !8o4 to build, according to his design, irraored vessels of low freeboard, with >ig guns in revolving shot-proof upolas, placed centrally on the decks. Such a type of armor-clad ship, he dedared, would revolutionize naval warare. The idea was not curried out, md Great Britain's wooden ships lever had to face the ordeal of the derrimac. But Ericsson prevailed on the Union euders of the American Civil war 0 give his idea a trial. In 100 days lis ship was built, armed and quipped, and It soon fulfilled the inentor's hope that it would serve as 1 "monitor," or lesson, to the Confediracy. Even before this, however, the Britsh admiralty had taken up the idea ind had built a vessel of u similar ype. At the time of the armistice lie British navy had 37 of them. LAST FATALITY IN DISPUTE ^hen Determined, Monument Will Be Erected on Spot Where Unfortunate Soldier Died. When was the last man killed in :he war? This is the lutest question isked by the French literary journal, [tenaissance. It promises to be tuken jp seriously by the allied nations, each >f which lias hitherto considered that ;he honor belonged to it. The British leclare that a few minutes before eleven o'clock on the morning of the lrinistlce a colonel of machine gunners 11 the British army received a stray nillct, but it is doubtful whether this lullet caine from a German sniper or from a party of moppers up. At any ate. the British case is considered >utclassed. Veterans' associations in illied countries are being asked to <end in corroborated details of incilcnts likely to aid in solving the probem, which the Renaissance assures its readers is just as Important as is the identity of the first man killed in the ivar, the latter honor, of course, belonging to the French soldier who crossed the German frontier without mowing war had been declared and ivas shot during an altercation with 1 German customs agent and a squad if German infantry. Once the ideality of the last man killed in the war s established, a monument will be -aised to commemorate the fatality ind the soldier who lost his life at the moment of victory. Sapphire With a History. The big sapphire on the top of the | cross on the state crown of the king if England once was believed to have the power of curing rheumatism, s<iatica and various other diseases which afflicted men a thousand or so years ago. It is not believed that this stone has lost any of the powers witn wmcn It began life, perhaps a million years ngb, but a large part of the British public seems to have lost faith in its r-urative properties. This sapphire was >nce the setting of the coronation ring >f Edward the Confessor, who was tiurieil in Westminster abbey, anil was taken out of his casket in the year 1101, since which thne It has been one nf the English crown jewels. To whom it belonged before It became the property of the pious Edward historians do not tell.?Washington Star. ? ?I?P _ SPRING V r\ n .

Jiu.g ug from reports from drug- I gist:- who are constantly in direct \ toucn with the public, there is one ? preparation that has been very sue- 1 cessful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influ- j ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is jj soon realized. It stands the highest ; i'or its remarkable record of success. / An examining physician for one of < the prominent Life Insurance Companics, in an interview of the sub- i ject, made the astonishing statement j that one reason why so many appli- ? cants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications arc declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium ind large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents 1 to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
