Combos Hamilton * clear vision
saw that oae of the greatest erTU
fa the path of young girls was their
total ignorance of the world and of
the fundamental troths of life and
mu. !« hfc» story one glr! goes
wrong because the had never been
taught to realise the result of her
actions. Another girl the heroine
of the story was brought up in a
similar ignorance and war on the
brink of disaster when her parent*
were awakened by the other girl s
disgrace. They saved their daugh-
ter In time.
This photoplay points out the lee-
con to mothers to instruct their
daughters In the way* of the world
And points out to girl* theoivelve*
the bitterness thot comes after the
gay life of the moment.
All advanced educators have ap-
proved of this photoplay for itr mor-
al teaching* although ’here were
some of narrow rslnd who criticised
it for its frank revelation of the
truths of life and tore. This fact
UMtf ceased such comment that it
dree throngs to the play just as it
will fee the photoplay. A gretu mor-
al problem play saeh at this strikes
a universal chord that makes every-
one disease Us merits aad draws
them ta groat crowds to see It.
The play is clean sad wholesome
aad inspiring. Critics who have
seen It declare fert no girl is too ]
young to see it. In fart it is urged |
that all mothers see the shew and j
take their daughters with them so
both my learn the lesson together
one of the pitfalls that beset her
path aad the other of the access!**
to teach their children of the dangers
that beset them.
And the photoplay 'hat the merit
of being even more intensely Inter-
esting for its teachings. Never for
a moment was the detail of making
the piny thoroughly interesting to
all forgotten in bringing out the
moral lesson

AIST1N Tex. Sept. 3.—The
school apportionment for the cur-
rent school year will be |6. accord-
ing to Superintendent of Public In-
struction W. F. Doughty. This 1*
$2 less than the apportionment of. •
the previous year. ^ ^
In explaining the inability of the
State Education which ‘
aL't'yesterday fb make a large ap-:
portionment for 1916. attention j
was called to the fact that the nat-
ural increase in the scholastic pop-
ulation and the small increase in
the available school fund made this
necessary.
The hoard fixed the apportion-
ment at 18. and at the same time j
appropriated $\ per capita to meet
the deficit occurring in the State
apportionment last year. The ap-
portionment last year was $8.
The apportionment wav distrib-
uted on the basis of 1135.800 chil-
dren within scholastic age:- which j
are 7 to 16 years of age. inclusive.
NEIL ERIN Will RETIRE
FROM UN UNO OFFICE;
—
Trouble with his eyes will proba-
bly result in the retirement of City
Atorney Neil Erwin from public life
and the practice of law-. This in-
formation was gleaned in ar Inter-
view w ith Mr. Erwin today by a rep-
resentative of the Light it i- very j
doubtful if he will serve out his j
present term however he would not i
confirm a rumor that he contem-
plated resigning by the end of the j
year. He admitted lie was making
plans to farm in Baylor county near
Seymore.
In discussing the matter Mr. Er-
win said he would regret very much s
to give up the office before hi- j
term expires because he owt.c it to.
the people to fill the office to which
he was elected but he admitted that j
the condition of his eyes was of great !
concern to him and that he may give j
• up reading entirely at any time. He j
said he was not unrnidful of ii>3 <»b- <
ligations to his constituency and that i
he was guided in this instance by hi: j
dutv alone.
In the retirement of Mr. Kr-.vit
the bar will lose one of its brighte-'
young men. He is serving his first j
ten* as city attorney and 'as made]
a good and efficient officer pe-tornt- |
Ing the duties devolving upon him ;
without fear or favor to all ..like j
His tnau> friends hope he will se"vej
out his lull term if such a service
will not add to his eye trouble and!

< Dance* Will f*arr Tow a Sot
lean Than a
Year.
U will be good news to Waxahachie .
jNt»opte. and ewiieclally ttjfhe business
men. to know that another reduction
In the Insurance key rate has been
secured which will mean a saving of
probably 96.000 in Insurance premi-
ums each year. The state fire com-
mission has just advanced Waxa-
hachie to a town of the first class
with a key rate of 36 cents. The
former rate was 41 cents but the
big saving will come in the expos-
ure charges. In towns of the sec-
ond class the exposure charges arc
much higher than in towns of the
first class. Now Waxahachie gets
the same exposure rates as can be
had in Dallas and the larger cities.
The key rate here i» higher but is
gradually being brought down.
When the state fire commission
was first formed the Waxahachie key-
rate was 75 cents. City officials and
insurance men began a; once to pre-
pare a rod net it) n. and within a short
period fyf time they have reduced the
key rate more than half. The first
reduction was 30 cents secured
through the equipment of a lire de-
partment and various odds and ends.
Next came a reduction of 14 cents
for the new deep well. This brought
the rate down to 4 1 cents. Even th
did not satisfy the city mj effort was
made to secunva further reduction
with the result another 5 cent slice
has been cut of ft This slice culm
otf by reason of the installation of
a new standpipe and the passage of
an ordinance making a standing re-
ward for conviction of arson.
One of the best thing.- the advance
to the town of the first class giv*
is the removal of the three-fourths
clau e in the business district. I n
der the new rating the merchants nrd
property owners may now insure
their property for full value. The
following charges with credits estab-
lish tiie key rate for Waxahachie:
Water works not standard. . . .$ .04
Fire department less than
five paid men for each
5000 population.03
Fire alarm system.o'.

It will be possible for Waxahachie
to secure a still further reduction by I

raise the efficiency of polite and
adopt the building laws. Mayor l
Prince and the city aldermen s-c. i
there is nothing too good for Wax.t
liachle and then efforts will lie put]
fort lo secure a still further reduc- I
tiou of tin rate.
