THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1914

FARM SCHOOL IDEA MEETS JTH FAVDR David Sutton Place, West of the City, Suggested as An Ideal Location for the Proposed Project.

FARMERS INTERESTED

Two Hundred Pupils to Obtain Advantage of Agricultural Training on Twenty Acres of Land.

Since the announcement last night tt the plan of County Superintendent Williams to make school argiculture practical by specializing students at vocational school in a course complete in the four high school years, Offers for the sale or rent of a half dozen farms suitable for the purpose and suggestions by the dozen faave come to him,, settling beyond a doubt the popularity with which such a school would be among the farmers. The action of the state board of education nas not been announced and it is probable nothing will be given out until the state board has some definite plans, as county agricultural schools have been under consideration for eight months and have been an active subject of study by the jnembers of the board. Sutton Farm Favored. The David Sutton farm on the National road west, has been suggested and is the most favorable location which Mr. Williams has found. It is near the center of the school population of Wayne county outside of Richmond and is most easily accessible to all parts of the county than any other location suggested. The farm has a large brick and stone building which

could be easily converted into a school house and has the other buildings necessary to farming. The plan of the county school was to give each pupil a tenth of an acre to farm and to start with, the capacity would be 200 pupils. This would require only a twenty acre farm, while the Sutton farm contains forty acres. A. D. Cobb, county agricultural agent, concurs in Mr. Williams' ideas for a school and believes practical farming could be carried on profitably In such a school. A school farm of the kind suggested. Mould also be convenient for demonstrations in his work. Mr. Cobb beliervea. The possibility of a Wayne county man giving a farm for school purposes was suggested by Superintendent Williams, although no such offers have come to him. If the land for the school would be secured in this way, there is no doubt but that the state board's action on an agricultural school for Wayne county would be favorable, he said.

Reller to Investigate Opium Traffic in City

Prosecutor Reller and Chief of Palice Goodwin are busily engaged investigating conditions exposed Tuesday evening as a result of a raid on the Newman Hill opium dive, which resulted in thei arrest of three inmates, Ed Anderson, Clarence Washington and Ella Washington. No charges have been preferred against the three negroes. The prosecutor and the chief say all of the latest hop smokers gathered in by the police stoutly deny that opium was sold at the Newman Hill dive, and they say the two men assert they never used the drug, that the Washington woman was the only one addicted to it.

"It does not seem possible that one

person could have used all the opium you have had at the house the past six months, and it seems unreasonable to believe that three persons could have consumed that amount," Prosecutor Reller said to one of the men. Chewed Opium. The prosecutor was promptly Informed that Ella Washington not only smoked opium but chewed it as well. Notwithstanding the efforts of the men to convince the police that they never used opium their appearances belie their statements. They have every appearance of being confirmed "hop inhalers." The police are still convinced that the Newman Hill dive has been the

clearing house for the local opium traffic, but they have failed to secure admissions to this effect from the two men and the woman arrested Tuesday. Neither have the police been able to locate any person who will admit having purchased the drug from Anderson and the Washingtons. Under the laws of Indiana it is a serious offense to sell or give away opium, but it is no offense for a person to use the drug. U. S. Officers Silent. The attitude of federal authorities in Indiana on the importation of opium to Richmond is regarded as peculiar by the prosecutor. Several weeks ago three colored people were arrested after their room had been raided and a quantity of opium and an opium pipe secured. The prosecutor reported to the proper United States official that one of the negroes had confessed to securing the drug at a certain Dayton, O., drug store. After some delay the federal officer requested Reller for more "definite information." This request was ignored because the prosecutor took the position that he was only obliged to -furnish the information and that it was up to the federal authorities to work up the case. Cans found at the Newman Hill dive showed they had been purchased from a Philadelphia firm of manufacturing chemists, which will be reported to the federal officers.

No Cinch to Hold Job as Inspector

Hunger the Best Sauce. There is no sauce equal to natural hunger. If you would relish your meals l!kf a hungry boy, take Chamberlain's Tablet n. They improve the digestion and create hunger. H. D. Parnienter, Cridersville, Ohio, writes: "t have used Chamberlain's Tablets for stomach trouble, biliousness and constipation off and on for the past tfn years and have never seen their equal yet." For sale by all dealers. ( Artvtrtlppmen

Anybody who thinks the job of inspector of weights and measures is a cinch is badly mistaken. Inspector McKinley attended the state meeting at Indianapolis, and returned today with the following instructions from State Inspector H. E.

Barnard. No more brass tack measures on dry goods store counters. Standard yardsticks must be attached to counters, or the measuring done by -tapeline. All staples sold by dry measure, must be on the basis of 15 pounds to the peck. In other words, if a grocer sells a peck of potatoes and the purchaser finds that they do not weigh 15 pounds, the groceryman is held legally responsible. No more exposed setscrews on scales, so the unscrupulous dealer, while weighing your purchase can give you the short end of the bargain by manipulating the setscrew with his fingers. All setscrews must have caps placed over them.

G. B. SHAW IN FAVOR OF "DAMAGED GOODS" Noted Play Wrighter Maintains Brieux's Drama Depicts Important Lesson.

LONDON. MARCH 19. I met George Bernard Shaw in Fleet street, London, recently and we walked along the Strand in a blinding rain to his home, which overlooks the Thames. Shaw was full of Brieux's "Damaged Goods," and talked on the subject long and lovingly. "It's a magnificent piece of work," he said. "It only bears out my long standing contention that Brieux is one of the greatest French dramatists. Ho is the natural successor of Moliere. "When I expressed this opinion in Paris some years ago Frenchmen called me a lunatic. I asked them to name his superiors. All they could name were a couple of modern, fashionable playwrights who won't live thirty years. "Now take the case of Brieux. He makes the doctor lead the villain of the piece through all the conventional phases of regret and vilification, bu$

when It comes to the end he takes the logical view. He discovers that he himself would not personally have felt the due feelings or horror which he tried to instill into the villain. He would have done just as the villain did. But he takes the logical step cf preventing anyone else from being led Into a course of thiB kind. He wants everyone told so that this sort of debauchery and filthy disease may be eradicated. "I only hope this play is allowed to be performed publicly. The trouble is we are up against that inexcusable institution, the Censor. We are helpless. "It's just the same as when, over twenty years ago, I wrote 'Mrs. Warren's Profession.' There 1 tried to put an end to the system of organized vice. What was the result. I was informed by the critics, just as in the case of Brieux, that it was mere pamphleteering, containing no traces of art. The Censor banned it. "Had my play been performed, I guarantee it wouldn't have taken twenty years to educate the people and, also, they would have been educated along logical lines. I tried then to

j point out what Brieux has done in I

jjamagea uooas, nameiy, mat evns

I of this kind must be fought with the

most efficient weapons at our disposal. I showed that organized vice is not run by idiots but by highly edu-

cated, attractive individuals, who

necessitate the employment of all our resources to defeat them. "Similarly Brlenx shows the only possible method of fighting the dissemination of the horrible disease.. "But the prospect Isn't good. According to the ruthless ideas of stiffbacked English conventionalism this is one of the subjects which must not be talked of. One can't characterize this opposition. It's a kind of tribal influence handed down for generations."

SELECT GIFTS

WASHINGTON, March 19. Members of congress were busy today selecting wedding gifts for Miss Eleanor Wilson when she marries Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The confession made by the president's youngest daughter that she likes "fuss and feathers" has not been lost on senate and house leaders, and they propose not to be lacking in the matter of gifts if the wedding be made an official function.

URGE IMMEDIATE TRIAL OF DADIE CHICAGO, March 19. Federal District Attorney Wllkerson today urged the immediate trial of John Dadie, president of William J. Moxley, Inc.. and other oleomargarine manufacturers on charges of attempting to defraud the government. A jury In Federal Judge Geiger's court last night returned a verdict of guilty against John F. Jelke and either as- ) sociates on charges of conspiring to I

defraud the United States through tne illicit sale of colored oleomargarine. POSTPONE GAME The Richmond-Newcastle high school basketball game, which was hit.. KAan nlarorf tomorrow nieht

Butter weighed in cartoons must weigh up to the amount of purchase minus the weight of the cartoon. No more paper padding in the bottoms of peach baskets. The inspector must see that all baskets are standard

and without padding; also all eatable j sold in baskets or hampers must be j labeled their total weight; potatoes I sold by the bag must be labeled their j : i- t.

weigm. In addition to seeing that these instructions are carried out to the letter the inspector must also find time to keep a sharp eye on coal, ice and peddlers wagons. When McKinley informed a dry

goods merchant that the brass tack J

measures would have to come out of his counters, the merchant made no protest and invited the inspector to proceed at once to extract the tacks numbering several hundred. 'I don't know whether I have to do that," said McKinley, "but I will if I have to."

What Comes Next? Fashion Issues Decree For Green Dress Suits

PUPILS TO OBSERVE ARBOR DAY, AURIL 17 Wayne county schools will observe

Arbor day. which has been designated J by the governor as April 17, in vari- j ous degrees, and Whitewater school is

planning to spend a half day in setting out trees. If possible, Professor Thompson of the high school will arrange general programs to be carried out. with the planting of a tree in each school yard. riecause Governor Ralston has also

set asi'! an Arbor day in October to ' accommodate the country schools i which dismiss too early to observe the 1

spring Arbor day, the schools are divided in their observance of the day.

Dame fashion has issued an extraordinary decree from her kindom in the antipodes for men, blue and green dress suits and for the women scil iot hats. There is no appeal from that decree. When asked regarding calls for blue and green dress suits one Richmond tailor said that h was not aware of the fact that any Richmond men would want green dress suits but there was a possibilty for blue dressers. Another local tailor made the remark that if green dress suits were worn the fire and police departments would be summoned. To, turn to the women's side of the styles decree, the recent depatch deals

onlywith scillet shaped hats, the hats-with-band-under-the-chin appointments topped by a few clusters of some popular flowers bid fair to become the rage, at least as soon as Easter Sunday. Some milliners are already stocking with he low crown mery widow designs. The hat is generaly worn tipped slightly to one side so as assume a coquettish poise. In New York the hat has been shown to society women and a craze started immediately. It will be only a matter of time until the new "scillet" will be seen topping the phsyce of a style advocate here in Richmond.

W. E. Jones, of New Paris, appeared before the board of works today and urged that it "get right on the street oiling question." He said he was the only one doing business here last year who used the power pressure oiler. He said he did not care to undertake the work this year unless the city would pass an ordinance or take such provisions as would be necessary to guarantee the payment for the work. -Last year I ran in the hole $2")8.28. People refused to pay me after I had

done the work, and I had no means of collecting it. "If you can arrange for the city department to clean the streets in advance of my oiling, you can save a couple of thousand dollars a year. But one thing is certain, you can't have the right kind of oiling by miscellaneous methods. You need a uniform system throughout the entire citv."
