Malcolm, 55 years old married for 28 years, when he cele- brated the birth of his first son by getting drunk. The magistrate held that, Volstead law or no Volstead law, there are occasions when a man simply must celcbrate, and that the end of 28 fatherless years was such an occassion. Isn't it odd, why they always con- sider it a celebration. Only the father knows. : —He'll Never Tell— FATHER OF GIRL FORMS VIGILANCE COMMITTEE (By United Press) Hoopeston, Ill., May 3.—W. T.

Attorney General Clifford L. Hilton pledged the support of the legal department. Special inspectors will be sent out over the state with rigid_instructions to hail into court all violators, and demand that fines be imposed follow up with second prosecutions if necessary. “Non-enforcement; of the motor vehicle tax law is becoming notori- ous,” said - Commisioner Babcock. “Every owner has had ample time to register and nine out of ten have done so—but there are thousands of ‘slackers’. ”” While it is not prim- arily the duty of the highway de- partment to force tax payments, the attorney general advises that its or- ganization and equipment may well be used for that purpose and good cit- izens will agrec that summary action is needed. A force of inspectors will be sent out at once for a quick clean up and the car owner who is fined will have only himself to blame.” The auto tax drive is to be carried to every part of the state.

I liked to play with all of them. Now I am through with them.” It was midnight in Peggy Hopkins Joyce’s boudoir. The famous vamp of modern times and for whose love two men are said to have killed them- selves, who has four times married and as many times divorced, and who has run through fortunes, laid bare her soul. She wept because she couldn’t tell the secret of her fataf fascination. “I liked their admiration,” Peggy cried, “it was life to me,/” Lavishly gowned in a blue negligee, propped up in bed the former show girl, di- vorced wife of J. Stanley Joyce, drank beer and brandy, “the doctors orders to strengthen my nerves,” and smoked incessantly as she talked of her conquestof men and their many tragic endings. “I don’t know why men ran after me,” the girl, who has had the wealth- iest and most influential men at her feet, declared. “Never, no never, did I deliberately try to lure them into my net. I never meant to ruin their lives.” The latest of Peggy’s victims is young William Errazuriz, Chilean youth, who shot himself in the rooms next to her suite on Sunday; because according to Peggy, she. refused to marry him. The blow has changed her life. The millionaire siren declared, “I have learned that I loved Billy, and now it is too late. I loved him, but I layed with him just as I did with a good many others. Why did I do it?”, she cried, BUCK LAKE Arthur Roghoit is home for a few | days. to help his father with the farm work . Mrs., A, B.

LONGLAVETY § ] O WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE FIND OLD ROMAN CALENDAR Discovery of Immense Historical In- terest Recently Made—Antedates That of Julius Caesar. A most interesting discovery ‘was made recently at Anzio, in the Roman Campagna. It was of a calendar made |- of plaster and much earlier than the calendar as.made by Julius Caesar in the year 46 B. C. This calendar evi- dently dates back. to between 163 B. C. and 84 B. C,, and is the only one yet found which antedates that of Julius Caesar. Some parts of it are missing, but the rest-shows that it was based on a lunar year of 3353 days divided into twelve months of 29 and 31 days, with 4 thirteenth month, called intercalary, of 27 days, interposed every alternate year after February. Under this sys- tem the year had an average of 366% days—that is, four days more than a solar year should have. Inevitable confusion arose from this, and the college of priests had the right, to intervene and corsect it whenever they chose by omitting the inter- calary month, It was because they often did it for political reasons that Julius Caesar decided té reform the calendar and intrusted the work to the celebrated mathematician and as- tronomer Sosigenes. He based his calendar on the solar year in place of the lunar, and made it one of 365 days. The year 46 B. C. when this took effect was caliéd the -“annus confu- slonls” (year of confusion), because, in order to make the year 45 begin with the nmew suh, ninety extra days had to be inserted in the year. The anclfent calendar, unique of its /Xkind, has just been published by the Royal-Academy .of the Lincel. —— TRACED TO DRUIDICAL TIMES Custom That s Believed to Have Been Forerunner of Modern “April Fool's Day.” April Fool's (lfly is from an old cus- tom dating froth the time of the Dru- I' 105 that The Tirst of Aprif takes 1ts name. Although most people call it “All Fools’ day” it is more than likely that it should be “Old Fool's day"— a modern way of saying “Auld Fools’ day.” 4 In the old Druifl times any young maidens who could pluck enough cour- age (for it was considered a daring thing to do) used to visit one of the sacred ‘“groves” between ten and twelve o'clock on the night of April 1 Here they all stood behind one an- other, and as soon as they heard the hoot of an owl, started slowly running round and round. As they ran they sang some weird old chant, the gist of which was that they wanted a man to run with them! Then those of the girls who were to be married during the next year would suddenly see the ghost of a white man by their side. A black escort showed that the unfortunate young lady was going to die during the ensulng year. Color Blindness Can Be Overcome. Late experience has shown that the color blind may be taught to name or- dinary colors correctly, although they may not see colors as others do. A conductor on the Southern raflway was discharged for colgr blindness, when he began to study colored wool- ens and plants, and in five weeks passed a rigid color examination with- out a mistake. Doctor Brawley has overcome the | disadvantage of color blindness in other persons by a like course of color study.—Cleveland News-Leader.
