I.ightsey of Hampton, I,. Marion Grcssotto of Calhoun and .1 Irby Humphrey of Florence. The measure, .given its first reading was referred to tho yet unnamed judiciary committee and will not reach tin- house for debate until the >*? committee makes its report. The motor vehicle title registration act, Mr. I.ightse) declared in explanation of the bill is only an "expensive nuisance." "We do not want it," be said. "The highway department doesn't want it; the people do not want it." A similar measure has now been introduced in the senate.?Thursday's State. One Way to Dodge Idbel A "certain editor of a paper in St. Louis County," reports the Clarion, Kvelyn, Minn., wus threatened with a libel suit some time ago, and made a thorough investigation of the libel law, coming to the conclusion finally that he could be sued for libel for almost any item of news. The weather was about the only sufe topic be decided. lie began looking for a way out. (.'radually, he wrote up his items in a manner to comply with the letter of the law. One morning his subscribers were greeted with this account in their favorite journal, of a fine reception given by one of the grand ladies of their home town: "A woman giving the name Mrs. .1. ('. .Jones, who is reported to be one ?f the society leaders of this suction, is --aid to have given what purported to lie a reception yesterday afternoon. "It is understood that a eonsiderciable number of so-called guests, reported to be ladies noted in society circles, were present, and some of them tire quoted as saying they en joyed the occasion. "l! is charged that the firm of Rower <*s I thick furnished the refnslutit nt.s, ami Striugham the ulleged music. "Tho hostess is nsid to have worn a necklace of alleged pearls, which sh- dedans was given her by her husband." Here Was a Real Mother You tnTiers on the road of life are directed to the following from the Chester Reporter: "Mrs. Mary Sims, who lived on College street and supported herself and three children as an operative in one of the local cotton mills, died Tuesday night at the Pryor hospital, and was buried yesterday afternoon at Evergreen Cemetery, Dr. Paul Prrssly, pnstor of the A. it. P. church, conducting the service. "Never was there thrown open to public gaze a more tragic story of suffering and hardship than when this good woman's condition and the heroic struggle she was making to support herself and children became known; and help was at once forthcoming from many sources to soothe her last days and give the children a little of the Christmas joy that was pervading the world. ^ "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto t one of the least of thesy my brethren ye have done it unto me." , How Doctors Treat Colds and the Flu To break up a cold overnight or to cut short an attack of grippe, influenza, sore throat or tonsillitis, physicians and druggists are now recommending Calotahthe purified and refilled calomel compound tablet that v. gives you the effects of calomel and salts combined, without the unpleasant effects of either.

THIS WEEK By Arthur BrUbmw Mr. IJrisbanc's editorials are published mm expressions of opinions of the world'u highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle doea not necessarily endorse nil of hia views and conclusions. Secretary Hoover's plan for water-, way* iu the IJiuteh State# i.s a magnificent, common-sense presentation of what this country should.do. Mr. Hoover shows that .'1,000,000 horsepower, more thun three times the amount now taken from Niagara Kails, could he developed on the Tennessee and Cum her land rivers. Reservoirs and dams in connection with this development would check floods in the Mississippi valley, and provide a six-foot channel connecting the Tennessee and Cumberland with the Ohio and Mississippi. The .South knows what that power, now wasted, would mean to Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga and Nashville. That is ojdy one item in a great program that the will of the American people should put through. Dr. Bundeson, health commissioner of Chicago, says many fathers and mothers "kiss their babies into the grave." To kiss an infant on the mouth is a crime. Parents stupid enough to allow strangerk to kiss their children almost deserve the result. An infant's blood lacks the protective strength, the disease fighting leucocytes, that come later in life. For that reason consumption nearly always starts before the child is two years old. Millions of unfortunate children have had the tubercular germs planted in their mouths by loving but ignorant mothers. Kiss your baby on top of its head. Let no one else kiss or handle it. Congress, resuming business, will find the indignant farmer sitting on the capital stops telling big income taxpayers, "Until the government does something for us farmers, you don't get that refund of -$250,000,000.T'" Lord Kothermere says Britain misses prosperity by failure to develop electric power. "The economic welfare of the United States," says he, "is based more than anything elsj on the fact that she has 29,000,000 elictrical horsepower in her factories, equal to 290,000,000 human workers." Joseph S. Donovan knew exactly what he wanted when he went to work in a carpet factory for $1.50 a week. While Ive was working in the shop he said he would make a million by the time he was forty-five and , retire. Last September, not yet forty-four, he had made his million and retired as he promised. Now he is dead. The best thing, when you have made your first million, is to go on and make the second. It isn't the money, hut the fact that you are working, which enables others to find employment and independence. The right kind of American begins his rest when the undertaker gets him. That is a long and an early enough rest for anybody. There is no room on the earth for a parasite and any man that stop3 working, before he's ninety, is that. Dr. Spahlinger, Swiss scientist, has shown that cattlo can b? made immune to tuberculosis by vaccination. The fight against tuberculosis could be made successfully without vaccination, although that would be a great blessing, should it prove successful in advanced cases. Good food, fresh air, rest anil reasonable exercise are the tuberculosis (uies that nature supplies. Supreme Court Justice William Hai mon Black .Renounces "chickenhearted judges and juries" that encourage crime, wants quick trials with two-thirds of the jury deciding no unanimous vote necessary. The two-thirds idea would not suit i rimipals. and the prosperous amonp thorn would be obliged to purchase at least five of twelve jurors, whereI us now one or two purchased /'gann guvs" can prevent conviction. A Di u-e girl of the Lebanon MoUil tain region of Syria may with pro priety show one eye to the world. bu< . to unveil two eyes would be the limb j of bad taste. -*- -- -VteaWj., *w ,in >l? . n HIT# OF PITHY HUMOK li?f McGff Given HU View* on Current Happenings I ill I mt llllfl II i arp not in favor of this air mail a-tull. My duns yet to me now by the 81st of the month. 1 a>kcd u friend the other day if he had anything in his hip for the holiday*, and he replied "Nothing ex cept the imprint of u Florshiem No. 11, but I'm going to marry that girl yet.'' There's your optimism. Those poor Armenians still have to struggle for existence. As we have to feed and clothe them anyway, I sfri/lh the United Statos would colonize them in Texas or Georgia and cut out about 80 cents on the dollar on overhead expenses. We ought to have our proteges nearer home. The Federal Reserve Hank has all the money, the Federal Land Hank is owner of yearly all of the land, the Federal government is practically running our schools, and building our tax revenue, and it won't be long before we will be working for that crowd and the General Motors and Standard Oil at 50 cents a day and boarding ourselves. This is what the war was fought for, "to. make the world safe for Democracy" which is controlled by Republicanism. The McNary-Haugen Farm relief bill is in congress again. This bill will provide a 250 million revolving fund, The idea now in mind is to put the farmers in a great big barrel | and revolve them around and around till they got so dizzy-heaided they won't have sense enough to plant any more cotton, or they might lend some of the money to the farmers and let the interest revolve around their heads for a few years, and then revolve their land to the revolver. That will be a pretty good thing for the politicians to brag about until something else turns up. My cousin went into the automobile business about three months ago. The first thing he bought was a check protector, and the first check he wrote on it was turned down by the bank, marked "insufficient funds." He put the balance of his capital in a pair of scales, a meat cutter, an ice box and a heater. He bought his stock of goods on credit and sold enough to buy an automobile, and now he's gone back to selling installment insurance. He would have gone into bankruptcy, but he didn't have the required $30. He ain't got enough sense to be a customer much less a merchant. Dr. I. Kuremall dropped dead yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, in his office. It seems that ohl man Beatem of Hog Skin went into Dr. KurcmalPs office and handed him 2 dollars to be credited on his 1920 account. The shock was too great for the oki gentleman and he toppled over, Mr. Beatem managed to recover his $2 during the confusion and went on back home. I went to the movies the other night. I don't remember anything much about the picture. The man on my left was eating peanuts, the guy on my right was drunk, the couple in front of me were hugging, and the folks sitting behind me talked all the time. Just across the aisle from me were two farmers who "read-out lcWkd" every word that run through the filium, and somewhere in the nearby crowd were several families that had lost their cake of soap several weeks ago. Otherwise, everything passed off all right. I saw in the paper last week where a woman killed her husband because she got tired of him. If such a practice were to become general there would bo millions of widows in this country in just a short while, because most of them are getting fed up or their old men. If they start thai thing around here, I'll have the lav on 'em, and you can lay to that. We husbands must stick closer togethei from now on. All movie actors do not seek divorces. Take Miss Sallie Patica, foi instance, she married ' her directoi over four years ago and they are liv ing happily together. Movie folks are talked about too much anyhow From the best information I can gel 1 the average st&r lives with the same husband often time's as long as t)tre< months, and the worst of them neve1 , are divorced more than 10 to 15 times , That ain't so worse when you come to think about it. : Assigned To Important Committee Senator Grover C.
