The proposed route is one of the most direct that can be secured, it is pointed out. Under the plan proposed, the highway would be added to the Federal highway system and would be improved and maintained by the Federal government. Much of the route is already paved. It is planned to call the route the William Penn highway, also. The Findlay men were anxious that local citizens become interested in the project and work up along the route across Indiana, whie they are working east from Findlay. It hoped that apporva of the plan as far west as the Illinois line can be obtained before the meeting at Buffalo. Aovn Bur*, president of the Industrial Association, stated today that he would call a meeting of the directors of the association soon and take action in regard to the matter. The county emmissioners are willing to endorse the plan. The local boosters will take the matter up with the citizens of Huntington and help boost the plan. Local citizens who talked with the Findlay men were enthusiastic about the proposed highway today. There will be little or no expense to citizens along the route, it.is said, but the hearty endorsement is necessary. The Findlay men who were here today were 'W. E. Stephenson, O. A. Hamilton, W. E. Hanck and W. P. Wisely. — -o SEYMOUR —A wheel came off the auto. Mariou Fisney of Seymour, was driving and smashed a plate glass Window of Carter Collins Company.

Raulston said if this testimony altered his opinion he would reverse himself and have it given to the jury. After court adjourned, Judge Raulston wanted to have his picture taken at his bench with Bryan and Darrow. Bryan took his stand at one side of Judge Raulston and Darrow was busy wth his letters and did not leave his seat. Raulston came down and asked Malone if he would condescend to have your picture taken with Mr. Bryan and me? Malone declined. By William Losh, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Dayton, Tenn., July 17.—For the second time during the Scopes trial Dayton waited breathlessly today upon a momentous decision by presiding Judge John Tate Raulston. His ruling on the prosecution's motion to exclude all scientific evidence from the trial, will determine not only its duration but whether the defense, to use its own words, is ‘‘to have a chance." Far into the night and again early this morning Raulston wrestled with doctrine and law, preparing the decision, which, he announced when court adjourned last night, he hoped to rentier before noon today. Rarely has a justice been treated to such a deluge of oratory and argument over a point of law as was Raulston yesterday when the titans of the defense and prosecution clashed before him. William Jennings Bryan, in the shining armor of fundamentalism, and Dudley Field ..laloue, ■who proclaimed truth his client and the world bis audience were only headliners on an oratorical bill which has had few equals. Differing from Wednesday before Raulston rendered his ruling on the defense's motion to quash the indictment of Young Johnny Scopes, the town today was in a fever of uncertainty as to how he would dispose of the question of evidence. On the motion to ejash there was no doubt. The dual between Bryan and .Malone may prove to have been the high water mark of the trial. o Clinton —Vermillion county board of review has announced a blanket decrease of 10 per cent ou all farm land in the county. CLINTON — Former residents of I Perth and Diamond, near Clinton, once known as Caseyville, will stage a home coming August 9.

"I had never auspected* it”— Atlanta Constitution. Night Watchtt Were ol Military Origin The Jews, like the Greeks and the Romans, divided the night into military watches Instead of hours, each watch representing the period tor which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "begin nlng of tbs watches,” the middle watch, and the morning watch. These would last from sunset to 10 o’clock p. m„ from 10 p. m. to 2 a. m.; and from 2 a. m to'gunrise. Subsequent to the annexation of Palestine to the Roman empire aa a province, the number sf watches was increased to four, whleb were tesetibed either according to their numerical order as in the rise of the "fourth watch,” or by the terms "even, midnight, cock crowing, and morning.” nfTielr watches terminated respective!* at 9 p. in., midnight, 8 a. m, and 0 a. m. Favorite Chineee Dieh One of the forms of eggs of which I the Chinese people are very fond is the so-called "tea eggs.” To prepare j these, fresh hern’ eggs are hard-; belled, the shells cracked and the egg i then cooked for hours In a mixture of i tea infusion, salt, spice and soy bean sauee. When the price of eggs Is low, I -tea eggs'* are often prepared and ■ kept warm on tbe stove so that any j member of the family may help hlmeelf to them as the Americans do candy | and nuts. Hans' eggs are usually very, cheap. An ordinary day's diet for a family easily contains a half-dozen eggs or more. Eten poor people who keep their own hens use eggs freely. | Slaves and servants, however, are usually given only a few, for vege- i tables are uaually cheap, and eggs regarded as more desirable. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Sap Hat High Pretture The pressure of outflowing sap in wounded frees at this time of year may be as high as 150 pounds a square Inch, equal to the steam pressure in an ordinary locomotive. This has been discovered by special instruments placed in tree truifks by Dr. P. T. MacDougal, director of tbe Carnegie Institute's department of botanical research. Doctor MacDougal giso told tlie society that trees with dead roots, trunk and leaves still continue to experience an ascent of sap in spring, demonstrating that this seemingly vital precess is purely mechanical. • Albino The term Albino was originally applied by the Portuguese to those negroes who were mottled with white spots; but it Is now applied to any who are born with red eyes and white hair. It is from the Latin word, albus, white. Albion, one of the names of England, is derived from the same word; and it is said to have been given to the southern part of the island by Julius Caesar in allusion to the white cliffs skirting the southeastern coast where be landed on the occasion of his first invasion in the year 55 B. C. Famoae Hittorian Herodotus was the oldest historian of Greece, and the “Father of History." He was born at Halicarnassus in Carla, between 490 and 480 B. C.; traveled over Asia Minor, Egypt and Syria as far as Babylon, and in his Old age recorded with due fidelity the fruits of his observations and inquiries, the main object of his work being to relate tne successive stages of the strife between the free civilization of Greece and the despotic barbarism of Persia for the sovereignty of the world.
