Would Repeal Motor Title Act
Repeal of the motor vehicle title
registration act is proposed in a new
hill, introduced yesterday in the house
of rcpresentativca by W, II. 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.

t one of the least of thesy my brethren
ye have done it unto me."

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.

81st of the month.
1 a>kcd u friend the other day if
he had anything in his hip for the

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.
