Whizz Ban?, Wampus Cat and Ho
Do? 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

a long lime and the poor
little girl next door is ill and has no'

"No, mother." said Janet, "I would |
rather send her any oue but that. You

BLIND TO GRhAT INVENTION
French Emperor Missed Opportunity
When He "Turned Down" Ericsson's
Offer to Build Monitors.
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.

?
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. When writing
be sure and mention this paper.
