Already 16 women have been brought before the federal court at Texarkana, Ark., and in virtually all cases so far completed the Judges have shown that sex will not per mit the offenders to escape the full penalty of the law. Eleven of the accused readily ad mitted their guilt and one already has been sentenced to Jail for three months. Two have been placed on parole. The nine others will hear their sentences on December 30 dur ing a special term of court celled by Judge Frank A. Youmans. One of the women denying her guilt al so received a three months Jail sen tence, and the case against the oth er was dismissed for lack of evi dence ' Raid Netted Fourteen. Fourteen of the women arrested were rounded up along with sever al men in a sudden raid by prohi bition officials led by S. M. Gurley, assistant prohibition administrator of the state, and the other pair was arrested subsequently. During preliminary hearings Gur ley declared that the days of ‘sou thern chivalry’ were over so far as the prohibition authorities were concerned and that women offend ers would be treated just as severe ly as men. “Seventy-five per cent of the li quor peddled in Arkansas is handled by women,” he added. “The hus bands and men friends are hiding behind the skirts of the women and exnect them to be shown clemen cy.” Curlev ejm’'»ned that it *was no ”v«v icb for a prohibition agent, orobrhiy with a wife and child’-rn to home to go into a house rnd drag a mother awey from several crying children, “but when they let their husbands lead them into the busi ness, there is nothing else for us to do,” he added. .

Life Story. You may not be sure about Santa Olaus, but “Dorothy Dix,’’ advisor to over thirty-three—If living on an Income of about $100,000 a year can be called existing. Her real name is Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer, she lives in New Orleans, is barely five feet tall and—a great many other interesting facts about this remark able woman are revealed by Clare Elliot in McCall’s for January: “Dorothy Dix—the woman every body knows and the woman nobody knows. “Every day a thousand men and women, boys and girls, write to her and unburden their hearts’ secrets. She’s the highest paid newspaper woman writer in the world, earning more than the president. She has often been called, “The Best Loved Woman in the World.” Every day, since 1895, she has laughed and cried and sympathized with. Jollied and lambasted and ad vised millions upon millions of her fellowmen. Yet so completely has she remained always the confi dante, never the confessor, that few have ever glimpsed the woman behind the letters. Had Own Great Sorrow. "Strange tales have grown up around her. One popular rumor had it in strictest confidence that Dor* othy Dix was actually a group of six college professors, each of whom conducted the column once a week. Last summer one Canadian paper bolstered this theory by printing a photograph of ‘Dorothy Dix’ who turned out to be a bald-headed gentleman with a long gray beard. Thousands, wishing to be on the safe side, begin their letters, ‘Dear Sir or Madam.’ ‘‘However, this beloved mvth is no mystery, but a chrrming Southern lady with the most sympathetic heart in the world. In private life Dorothy Dix is Mrs. Elizabeth Mer iwether Gilmer of New Orleans, white-haired, twinkly-eyed, softly drawin —and in her own words, ‘as feminine as a ruffled petticoat.’ "Barely five feet tall, even with her soft hair piled atop her head, she is at once a personage because of the wisdom and courage and humor radiating from her. Dark tarown eyes sparkle with fun or grow keen and deep with intelligent sympathy. A network of fine lines speaks eloquently of early struggles against heartbreaking odds. “Born shortly after the Civil war in a famous old Colonial bouse on the border between Tennessee and Kentucky, Elisabeth Meriwether in herited Instead of money, a distin guished family tree, a great deal of silver plate and a houseful of m'h-^nv heirlooms. "/s a ch“d sh- never had a Mg city. B’’t she soent a he—>y "H’dh-'od rising shooMn", hunting and pitying with the little darkies on the place. A fine old classical ‘ 'ibrary provided her education and formed her literary taste. By the • time she was twelve, she knew her < Shakespeare and Scott and Dickens by heart. “Like other girls of the period she attended a female academy, gradu ated at sixteen, tucked up her hair rnd got married . Life seemed smooth and assured. But within a few months her husband was smit ten with a physical and mental '■llment that made him an invalid. Years of doctors’ and nurses’ bills stretched ahead. ‘And I did not know a thing on earth to do to make a dollar, she stated simply. Fate Takes Hand. T agonised over the horror of de pendence until I grew ill and was sent to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to recuperate. Destiny-—and X be lieve in Kismet as implicitly as any Mohemmedan—led me into the house next door to Mrs. E. J. Nicholson, the great woman who, owned and edited the New Orleans ‘Picayune.’ I showed her a little story I had written and she bought it for $3.00. My fate was sealed, for I promptly ‘wished myself’ on the ‘Piccyune’ and my newspaper ca reer began, at $5.00 a week.’ — "Part of her work on the ‘Pica yune’ consisted In writing a weekly article for women. ‘It came to me that everything in the world had been written about women and for women except the truth,’ she explrined, ‘And so I began writing the truth as I have seen it about the relationship of men and wom en. I called these articles the ‘Dor othy Dix Talks’ and women liked them.’ "Meantime, the young Journalist was disciplining herself In her own hrrd school. ‘J have written the same piece over fifty times to get more punch Into It,’ she admitted. •And I still do. As a result of this Intensive self-training I was able, In one supreme test, to write 90, 000 words In 17 days on 52 different subjects.’ “In 1901 she became one of the new craft—a woman reporter; and for twenty years she covered every sense tlonal story, vice investigation and crusade of that period. "She retired several years ago to New Orleans. There she writes her dally column which 1$ syndicated from New York to South Africa and from London to Shanghai. There, too, she makes a home for her 93-years-young father, In a charming old house filled with odd things picked up all over the world. From Persia To Alaska. “Miraculously, each year her vitality matches her enthusiasm. Two years ago she viewed a large section of Northern Africa from a samel's back. Last year she pene trated. also on camel back, as far is Teheren. In Persia, especially to study the women of the Near East, many of whom still live In the se duded harem life. This year her *oal wes Al"cka—not the tourist 'nd s"*m from a corn fort" ble deck •hair, but the real Klon-S’-ke as dewed from a dog sled fifty miles ibove Dawson. “Every morning the postman taggers up to the door of this New Orleans home with 1,000 pieces oi l mall addressed to Dorothy Dtx. " ‘Most ot their letters are written In terrible stress, many are heart breakingly pathetic,’ she said. ‘Many are amusing. Not long ago one wri ter said, ‘I usually take my prob lems to God, but now. Miss Dix I want the advice of soneone real practical.’ •“Some letters are naive !n their explanations of extenuating cir cumstances, such as the fine from a young girl who wrote not long | ago, ‘Of course. Miss Dlx, you're old frshioned in your ideas, but then they didn’t know about sex when you were young, did they?’ “‘One hundred husbands write to me today where one used to write ten or twenty years ago. And the reason for this is that there Is a revolt of husba^a quietly going on In America. ThlWfedern hus'emd Is no longer satisfied with a wife who is merely faithful and virtuous and a fair cook. He wants a wife who will be entertaining, who win keep up with him mentally and especial ly one who sympathizes with him and is affectionate to him.”* A diamond importer says that there are no perfect diamonds. They are like flowers, attaining certain degrees of perfection. But, he says the perfect diamond, is a product for scientists. - - ’ Church Love Story Revealed In State 'reacher Disappears A* Choir Leader Returns From Maternity Hospital. Hickory.—Sudden departure from [*enoir of Rev. H. W. Howard, for mer pastor of the Highland Metho Jlst church, near Hickory, and the return to her Highland home of a 28-year-old girl from a maternity hospital In Bristol, Tenn., have brought to light the "love story” of a minister and hls choir leader, who was also a teacher In the Sunday school. The girl Is a member of a we’l known family of near Highland, and is said to havfe an' active church worker rot y£art. Reports of the case Were first cir culated In Lenoir when two broth era of the girl, who Is alleged to have been despoiled by the former Highland pastor, went to see Mr. Howard. Following the visit of the girl's brothers' the minister is said to have departed from Lenoir with hls wife and three children. He left osttnsibly for High Point but Highland residents believfc that he has gone to Chicago, where he lived before coming to Highland several years ago. Reports that he Is CKoose your , Shade now!

Phone I 12 thought to have been a member of a Chicago gang ere discredited by residents here, who said hie past reputation was good. The girl was reinstated in the Highland Methodist church several days ago when the case was pre sented before a representative con gregation. She was completely for given. it was said, but some criti cism has developed following the action. Before leaving for Lenoir the con gregation raised money to pay off the church!* Indebtedness and also naid Mr. Howard an additional >100. In addition to the money Mr. How ard secured $100 on a note Indors ed by two Highland men, which was reported unpaid when he left Le noir. After taking charge of the church at Lenoir Mr. Howard In timated a' “‘hardluck" story, it was said, and secured $3S0 on a note signed by two Lenoir men. The funds rftsed here and at Lenoir were apparently used to meet the minister's emergency needs. No legal action has been taken by the girl's parents, but efforts are being made to locate the missing minister. Mecklenburg Farmei Makes Twelve Bales On Five Acres Land Charlotte—J. Wilson .
