. SEC HISTORICAL END. Dr. I. 8. Harold, president of the Wayne County Old Trails Road association, was right on the job when he heard that a temporary bridge was to be built on the site of the old National road bridge, just south of the present condemned structure across the Whitewater river. Doctor Harold believes the old site ought to be perpetuated in history- Perhaps the garage owners and automobile owners would be Interested in helping pay for the historical effort. Let's see who speaks first. " TEACHER IN THE LEAD. Miss Carrie Lesh. teacher In one of the local schools, was the first woman from this city to pass through the Panama canal since It was opened to steamers. Who says school teachers are cot enterprising and in the lead? CARRANZA ON SAFE SIDE. Press dispatches say Carranza has the support of all the northern military commanders In the republic of Mexico. Carranza always looks out for his own Interests, and Uncle Sam might well follow the advice of the army and navy departments and be prepared for 'ventualltles." EVEN SPORTS PICK UP. Time was when sports were a dead issue in Richmond, but when an Illinois coach buys football togs here, It's time to reverse the judgment. REPORT CLAIMS BENEFITS FROM ALL PLAY LOTS With Only Half of Levy Available Schools Run Playgrounds Where 558 Children Play Daily. That the benefits which have resulted from providing a one-cent levy in the municipal tax ratesthis year for the maintenance of public playgrounds are "far in advance of our expectations and the management is to be commended upon the results obtained," is the statement contained in a report of the public welfare committee, of which Councilman Elbert Russell is chairman, to council last evening. "Since only half the levy was available this summer the amount obtained - was supplemented by $180 from the proceeds of the spring physical training, JegtivaL". the report continues. The good results shown were obtained at an expenditure Of $1,061.40. The work probably will grow in the course of time, and the school board ougt to be able to purchase considerable additional apparatus. The levy of one cent on each $100 ought to bring about $1,700 a year, while it seems the work could be maintained satisfactorily at a cost of $1,200 or $1,300. We recommend, therefore, that the levy be continued for two more years and that the work be kept up the third year on the unexpended surplus of the fund." Report Submitted. The school board also submitted a detailed report on the playgrounds, council approving both of them. The report Bhows that four playgrounds, one for each section of the city, were maintained for the required ten weeks each under a competent supervisor and instructions were given every Monday morning in games and folk dances. Certain time was also devoted to instructions in sewing, paper cutting, drawing, backet weaving and other manual work. The director of playgrounds reported to the school board that inter-school games proved to be a great attraction and that picnics were held and the children taken for long tramps at times. At the east end playground hundreds of men and women, in addition to the children, made use of the tennis courts, roque courts and baseball field. Council was informed in the school board's report that the four school playgrounds and the east end athletic field had an average daily attendance' during the summer of 556. The cost of maintaining the five grounds was only $15a day. or 2.8 cents per day for each child. Co Deaths ELIJAH H..KUHN3. MILTON Elijah H. Kuhns, 74. died at his home here last night. Services will be held from the home at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Kuhns was a member of the 131st Ohio Infantry during the civil war and was for forty years a member of the Odd Fellows lodge. The funeral will be in charge of the Odd Fellows fraternity, Rev. Mary Mills of the Friends church and Rev. F. M. Westhafer, pastor of the Methodist church. Burial will be in the West Side cemetery. JUDGE FOX GIVES WOMAN DIVORCE Blanche Batchelor was today granted a divorce by Judge Fox in circuit court from her husband, Russell Batchelor. She alleged cruel and inhuman treatment. Ker maiden name, Blanche Gipe, was also restored to her. They were married in February, 1914, and .since that time, she alleged, she has been the victim of cruel treatment and that her husband has frequently come home intoxicated and Js so lazy that he will not work for 'her support. Cancer has been traced to roaches by a Danish scientist, who has succeeded in producing the disease in rats by feeding thom with eggs of parasites that infest the insects.

HOW ABOUT THE "ALLIES?" A New York newspaper has exposed the alleged relation between the German government and the pro-German press of - America. Wonder what would be shown if the searchlight were thrown on British diplomatic connections with certain New -York newspapers? CUTTING DEATH RATE. Only sixty-three ' members of St. John's Benevolent society - died in fifty years. Some of us wonder what it is that contributes to the longevity of our German residents. The record seems to be a good one. No field there for investigation and tabulating by the Central Charity bureau or health experts. ASK THE TRAFFIC COP. . We saw a collector for a coal company collecting a bill for next winter'a coal. It takes nerve to present a bill of this kind when the ice man is still exacting his toll. Suppose the Ice man and the coal man should meet at the same door who would have the precedence with his bill? HOW WAR NEW8 8PREADS. A dispatch from Berlin printed in The Palladium last week said the school teachers carried the war news to the most isolated parts of Germany That s nothing. When a German res ident here receives a letter from the Fatherland, he passes it around through the whole south side. SAYS Continued From Page One and bigger soul. She said the height and size of man was gradually de creasing but through. the study and practice of the teachings of eugenics this could be stopped and bigger men suDsututea in tne next three genera tions. Dr. Geisel laid articular emnhasia on her advice to mothers to take their children on their knees and teach them plain, practical, definite, common sense to protect them from the alms house, penitentiary or lunatic asvinm She argued that prevention was better man cure. Habits Transmissable. "Eugenics," said the speaker in part, is a new word for an old theme Through its science, the world is de veloping a better and more enlighten ed citizenship. But we are not pro greasing fast enoush. "Eugenics can modify your child for what he is meant to be. Blood will tell. Like father, like son. "Acquired characteristics and ac quired habits are transmissable. You have the power to place in your children and your children's children, brain ceus ana nerve cells to make them mathematical eenuises or mimical geniuses or equip them for some oqe dluuj ur vocation. "Scarring the brain and body is also transmissable. through the circulation of drugs in the blood, through disease ana dissipation in other forms. Alcohol deadens the brain and has a worse effect than an v other druz. "We women are responsible for the disease, tne alcohol, the segregated districts and other loathesome t nines because we have not taught our child ren the consequences of their ignorance. COUNCIL Continued from Page One take out a liability insurance policy. President Bavis of the board of public works urged council to reach a decision before adjournment last night, because the board, if a liability policy is to be taken out, would like to enter into a contract with an insurance com pany before the compensation act be comes effective, September 1. Council, however decided that there was no need for hurry. There prom ises to be a .lively debate on the lia bility question. When council was in formed last night that the lowest rate quoted the city by any liability insur ance company was over $2,000 a year, Councilman Steinbrink said he wanted the city to act as its own liability insurance company. He said the low est premium quoted was more than the city had paid out in damages to in jured employes in many years. For the vacancy fn council occasion' ed by the resignation of Prof. Russell there are three active condidates Jesse Evans, a former member of that body; Lucius Harrison and Al Ford. There was talk last night, however, that Lawrence Handley would also be placed in nomination, and that his candidacy would command strength.

LYNCHERS Continued From Page One. when It took Frank from his bed in a room adjoining the prison office and bound him with ropes and handcuffs. They accomplished their purposes so quickly that few other prisoners in the cell houses were awakened, and neither were the day guards, sleeping near the office. The leaders gave a few words of instruction, and the members worked methodically, indicating that complete instructions had been given at a previous time. No time was lost after Frank had been secured. He was almost thrown into one of the waiting automobiles . Tell Place of Execution. One of the mob leaders announced to the two or three prison guards and officials that Frank would be taken to Marietta and hanged over the grave of Mary Phagan. One of the last acts of the mob was to remove the handcuffs from the wrists of Warden Smith, but Superintendent Burke was left securely bound. The three members of the state prison committee on a visit. to the farm were sleeping at the home of Superintendent Burke. They were not awakened. In making preparations for the attack the mob had cut all .telephone wires from the prison to the Mllledgeville and all telephone and telegraph wires leading from Milledgeville, save one long-distance wire that was overlooked. The mob had departed from (he prison more than an hour before the news of their departure was received in Milledgeville, and communiGre&t Demand for New Constipation Remedy Ttaey r that, the advent of the "senta.sol tablet" as a vegetable substitute for calomel -has resulted in an extraordinary demand for thia remarkable product. It "".J0 haYJ made a hit particularly with those afflicted with ehronle constipation, who were quick to recognise Its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablets, aside from their efflccy, doubtleo owe their success largely to a tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning instead of encouraging the "cathartic habit."

cation was established with officials

of adjoining counties. Shortly after the departure of the mob Mrs, Frank who has remained at the prison since the throat of her husband was slashed last month, was told of the dangerous Dllsrht of her husband. Before the prison official had com pleted his first sentence, Mrs. Frank swooned and went into convulsions, Physicians at the prison were called to her aid, and it was learned that her condition was extremely critical. All efforts to revive her failed for an hour, and a hurry call was sent to Athens for trained nurses to come with all possible haste. Sheriff Terry of Baldwin county, was communicated with by a courier, this being necessary, because the telephone line to his home had been cut by the mob as was also that to the home of Howard Ennis, captain of the Baldwin Blues, the local militia company. These officials Immediately began making an possible efforts to spread the news of of the raid upon the prison. Governor- Harris, on hearing the news that Frank, had been taken from the prison farm by an armed mob, said he was both shocked and grieved. "I feel a great wrong has been done, said the governor. Frank had not fully recovered from the Injuries inflicted upon him by a fellow convict recently and was weak and nervous. He had only yesterday left the hospital, where he had been visited daily by his wife. Frank protested weakly when seized. But no attention was paid to him. Indeed, the roughness with which he was handled by the silent leader of the kidnapping band indicated that the members of the gang were not friends, but enemies, and dangerous enemies, too. . ' Warden Is surprised. Warden Smith of the Milledgeville farm, who was overpowered, declared that he was completely taken by sur prise and was absolutely helpless to prevent the carrying off of his prisoner. The warden and two guards were asleep on the porch of the war den's residence when the mob whirled up. Several negro prisoners, who had witnessed the scene, hurried to the home of J. H. Satterfield, the prison farm bookkeeper, after the automobiles Tortured by Stomach He Finds Remedy Frankfort Man Finds Relief After Taking First Dose of Treatment.

Incident has been injected. Because of the racial element which entered into Frank's case and the high- feeling aroused in Georgia, the trial of the accused murderer quickly arose to the dignity of national interest.
