Someone has well said that "when
you . reach the point where vro# re#H
offends you, you might an well re
sign yourself to getting old." ?
It has been oHtimated that the av
erage- lot in the residential section U
around one hundred foot and that the
yearly coat of paving this portion
will cost around $20 per year fctrotch
ed out over a period of fifteen years.
Who can object to this small cost
?>f good permanent roadways in front
of their residence? Think it over
while this mud and slush is on our
streets .everywhere.
The police force made a raid last
week on tho loafing element anion#
the colored population and caused
numerous arrests and also caused
a good- many to seek employ
ment who had been shunning work
for some time. They might go a
step further and got after some of
the same element among the white
folk*. We are told that there are
half a dozen or more young able
bodied men loafing on the streets in
Camden with no visible moans of
livelihood.
Millias Childors, aged twenty-ope
years, who resided near l^ockhart,
was shot by his brother-in-law in
Chester County on Thursday evenihtf I
about t> o'clock, and was brought to
the Wallace Thompson Hospital here,
where he remained until his death
.*t 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The
trouble, it is understood, was caused
by (Jault hitting Childqrs' dog, and
when Chijdois resented this, after
some w ofa.4, (Jault drew his . pistol,
and, it is alleged, shot his brother-in
law, the ball entering the shoulder,
glancing downward breaking a rib
and lodged in the fleshy part of the
.shoulder.

In Kcgard to American Securities
Held Against Germany.
nii m ti '
Washington, Fob. 'It- ?uegu 1 ad
viser* of the department of justice
were said today to bf ' puzzled over
recent representation* of the French
government to Washington regard -
| ing the status of American securi
ties confiscated from German na
tionals during and after the World
War by France. The French gov
eminent, according to investigating
officials, has asked that this gov
ernment recognize the legality of the
French liquidator, who has the trans
fers of such stock in c*fso France can
sell them. . ,
Just what securities are hold, by
same official status as the alien
property custodian in this country,
officials here profess not to know,
explaining that the French govern
ment has not listed them nor their
values in submitting its inquiry. It
is be.'iocd, however, that millions of
dolbj'ra are involved. ,
The investigation has not progres
sed far enough f^r officials to fore
cast their decision as to the right of
Franco to sell the seized stocks. The
question arose from a difference be*
tween American ai^d French law re
garding the status of such certifi
cates. which in this country are rec
ognized only as evidence of title re
quiring re-registration of ownership
in a transfer of sale. In France the
certificates arq held to be the prop
erty itself and therefore negotiable.,
I- .. The American officials are said to.
be of the opinion thnt this govern
ment can have nothing to do with
/Uift: transfer of seized stock held by
France; that it is a question between
1 ranee and. the original German own
ers of the securities.
In its decision the American gov
ernment is expected to stress its de
sire to protect the investments of
foreign capital and to encourage fur
ther investment. However, an agree
ment was entered into with Great
Britain under which the Londoh gov
ernment was free to sell AmtfAcan
securities it had seized from German
nationals during the war and which
the American alien property custo
dian had not laid claim to or actu
ally taken possession of through re
issue of certificates and registration
on company books. In return Eng
land sent back to this government
the seized certificates which repre
sented stock taken over by the alien
property custodian. An t agreement
similar to one existing with Great
Britain, however, has been suggested
by France.
Millions of dollars' worth of Amer
ican securities were held by German
and Austrian nationals prior to the
war, a considerable portion of which
| evaded the alien property custodian
when he seized the holdings of alien
enemies through the tactics of their.
i owners, who had sought to avoid
German taxation by registering the
certificates in France and England
! under name's of friendly citizens.
| Consequently when the American con
I cerns were directed to Report the
amounts held J>y enemy aliens the
securities were not listed and the
American officials did not find the
true situation until it was too late
to seize them.
; 1* rom time to time during apd aft
er the war actual ownership was
established, the certificates were
seized by France or England, leav
ing the alien property custodian
without prior claims in many in
stances.
England has disposed of many of
the certificates in American markets
and has returned those claimed by
this government.

v. : h iii'.iiist };i> m nate's decision
upon it. j
Tiie purpose of the Mabry bill is to
prcw-n* ! n th:s >tate the marriage of
men with certain infectuous diseases.!
If the hill Iteeome* law, ;n order to;
obtain a marriage license in this state |
it wi'i be necessary for the male ap
phcan* to furnish a certificate, signed
by a u putable physician, to the ef- 1
feet that fhe applicant is free from
all venereal disease. The bill also j
provides for severe punishment of!
violators of the proposed law.
To some, at first glance, it may ap- '
pear that such a law is unnecessary
and will bo. a needless inconvenience
, to those who exp?ct U> get married.
Rut if thought be given the matter
and any investigations at all be made,
an almost unanimous conclusion is
bound to bo reached^ at it would not
oflly be a (rood law but is a necessary,
one for the protection of a very large
number of innocent and helpless peo
ple. The inconvenience caused by the
law would sink into insignificane be
side the great good it would do. Any f
man who would marry a pure woman
with the expectation of raising &
family while he was Infected with a
loathsome disease of the kind the bill
refer# to is not better than a beast
and gentlemen should not object to
a very slight inconvenience in order to
prevent such marriages.
it the bill becomes law, within a
generation it will cause a large de
crease in the number of blind, feeble
minded and otherwise deformed chil
dren in this state. If there is any
think worse than deliberately bringing
into the World a child which, through
no fault of its own, is disgraced fro.) I
its birth and forced to spend a mib
euible existence as a burden upon so
ciety, we do not know what it is. And,
so far as possible, the law should pre
vent such occurrences at any cost. It
would also preserve the self-respect,
.if not happiness itself, of many in
nocent and trusting wo;mcn, and, as
one member of the legislature ex
pressed it, "keep their lives free from
being transformed from an, expected
heaven into a living hell." The pub
lic had no idea of ihe prevalence of
repugnant diseases until the war de
partment made public a record of its
physical examination of young men
who offered themeselves for service in
during the war. The per
cent of men with venereal disease was
found to be astounding and it was in
evitable that legislators take cogni
zance of the fact and try to devise
some wise plan for protection against*
its increase.
The MabVy bill goes to the very
root of our civilization? the home.
And it is a good bill because it will
give protection to the home and ward
off an assault upon the sacred rites
of marriage. ?
