NORFOLK WON AT TENNIS.
Pieer Players Were Cleaned up In
Every Set That Was Played.

The Norfolk tennis players took
Pilger in nicely yesterday by not let
ting them have set in the match.
Pilger only had two men who played,
two others being away, and they had
to represent the town. Pasewalh
played his old steady game and de-
feated Snyder of Pilger with ease,
His long drives were the feature of
the game. Hines played remarkable
game, getting very many seemingly
impossible balls. Beels and Erskine
were nearly defeated in the first set
of doubles by Snyder and Vaught, the
two Pilger players only lacking one
point of winning the set, but the Nor.
folk players took brace and pulled
out the set by score of 81. Vaught
of Pilger plays whirlwind game and
makes very swift long drives into the
back of his opponents court. He
plays back court game entirely
Snyder on the other hand, plays more
of net game and is very good on the
serve Beels played the same old
steady game that he always has.
Singles-Pasewalk &c, Snyder o.;
Hines 6.6, Vaught 90; Beels 6. Sny
der 1.
Doubles-Beels-Ers sc, Snyder
Vaught II.

BAN IS PUT ON SPLITTING.
U. S. GOVERNMENT STARTS CRU
SADIE FOR HEALTH.
is AGAINST THE WHITE PLAGUE

Signs Warning People Of the Danger
Of Splitting in Public Places Have
Been Put Recently In Norfolk Fed
eraI Building.
That the United States Government,
as well as municipalities, is endeav.
oring to check the spread of tubercu-
losis as we'll as other diseases is shown
by recent order requiring that signs,
warning the people of the danger OF
expectorating on the floor, be hung in
conspicuous places in government
buildings.
In the Norfolk federal building, in
several prominent places, there has
been recently hung the following sign
..............,. .......... .''''' :
Please Do Not Spit on the Floor. :
To Do SO ::
May Spread Disease. {:
:............... ......'..' ''''''
There is no demand to stop the prac-
tice, but a kind request, the govern
ment believing that an appeal to the
conscience of the general public
through kindness will be more effec-
tive and do more toward checking the
practice than an official command.
IRENE politeness in atfiXing the word
please" to the notice there is already
a noticeable decrease in the number
who have unintentionally used the
postoffice lobby for a place to eXpec-
torate.
Try to Stop Disease.
During the past year the movement
to check the increase of the white
plague" has assumed gigantic proper
lions, but not more so than the in
crease of the disease. Realizing the
deep inroads the plague is making into
the ranks of the American people, es
pecially those of the poorer classes
the government has started out to dc
it's share in preventing it's further
spread, and the first step in this direc
ton, known Of in Norfolk is the new
sign warning the people of the danger
caused by their eXpectorating on the
floors.
Although there is city ordinance
which provides fine of from 81 tC
$40 for any person caught splitting in
public places, halls, etc, it has not
been enforced to any great degree, and
the practice has become as common
as before the passage of the ordinance
which in a measure, for the time be
ing, checked it. 1t has been pointed
out that during the past year there
has not been one arrest for violating
this ordinance.
Enforce the Ordinance.
Several of the local physicians, who
have interested themselves in the dis
ease and made study of its causes
and effects, are contemplating petition
ing Mayor Friday to order the CHIEF
of police to enforce the ordinance, anC
by so doing eliminate to a great eX
tent the exposure of Norfolk people tC
the tubercular germs, which breed ir
great numbers in the sputuu eXpec
torated upon the walks by thoughtless
persons.
There are many Norfolk people,
said one physician, that have tuber
culosis, some being affected more mild
ly than others. They go along the
streets and spit on the walks anG
floors and never think that they are
endangering the lives of hundreds OF
others by their thoughtlessness. The
practice should be stopped, for in nc
other way can there be put stronger
check on the rapidly spreading dis
ease"

AWAKENING MUCH INTEREST

April LIST was the day set for the
beginning OF the campaign to secure
funds for the purchase of a handsome
silver service for the cruiser Colo
RADIO. Since the first announcement
was made. two weeks ago. that the
Colorado Commercial association had
decided to cooperate with Governor
Mcdonald in the purchase of the gift,
interest throughout the state has
been evidenced by publishers of al
most all Colorado newspapers and by
LETTERS from every section of the
state Offering both moral and finan-
cial assistance.
Letters from officers of the Sons
of the American Revolution have urg-
ed the committee to increase the val
ne of the proposed gift from $500
TO 5 900 but it has been decided to
hold to the original amount unless
particularly liberal subscriptions are
given to the fund
The committee should be enabled
10 close the campaign for funds with
in sixty days and the suggestion that
the gift shall represent the great
throbbing, patriotic heart of Colo
RADIO should meet the approval of
every citizen of the state We will
publish list of all subscriptions as
they are made and we hope TO in
clude the name of every pupil in the
publis schools of this city and
county. We believe every grow up
should contribute at least a dollar and
school children at least a silver dime.

A DUMMY CONGRESS-.

Those benighted citizens who are
deluded enough to believe this is a

look up the situation in congress ana

Of the house, your Uncle Joe Cannon,

ration bill this week. a number OF
soft donations favored by the APP
preparations committee were knock
ed out by points of order from un-

could; but on Wednesday he struck
the limit of endurance and had the
committee on rules bring in an edict
TO the house shutting out points OF
order.
In the guileless language of the As
ISOLATED press from Washington, the
rule provides lit shall be in order TO
consider, without Intervention of a
point of order. any section of the bill
as reported. except section s, and. up
on motion authorized by the commit
tee on appropriation, it shall be in

any provision represented as part OF
the bill and heretofore ruled out on
a point of ORDER Section s referred
to is the provision for decrease in
pay of government employees after
they reach and old age limit
Now observe the remocracy of the
speakers order. 1t abrogates the
rigth of members to rise to point OF
order on any section of the bill and
il restores to the bill such sections
as have been ruled out heretofore.
II takes away from members the last
vestige of representative rights they
had left and puts the appropriation
bill absolutely in the hands of the
speaker. So far as debate or honest
consideration goes, the members of
the house might well be Hottentots
or dead Moros or convicts: The APP
preparations. which carry with them
control of every governmental func-

some of them do not, they can do
anything else they please, so long as
they do not attempt to obstruct the

otherwise attempt to discharge the
