The disparngement Of the usefulness
and Importance Of the thumb implied
In the expression, His fingers are all
thumbs" seems undeserved In view Of
the important part the thumb formerly
played In the social customs of the peo-
pie and the very important part 1t
plays In our own lives.
Lord Ersklnc, In his institutes"
states that among certain OF the lower
ranks I'm Scotland the final settlement
Of a bargain was always signallzed by
the licking and Joining Of thumbs.
Selden, in critics Of Honor" says
that kissing the thumb was mark OF
servillty. The clergy, the rich and
the great, were in receipt Of this honor
from their tradesmen.
From the remotest days OF antiquity
tho practice Of licking the thumb has
been regarded as solemn pledge or

CRUSADE AGAINST
UGLY BILLB0ARDS
DIR. c. D. SaIf1eId Establishes
Mission to Fight Against
Unsightly Advertising
Claims Firm Trespassed on His
Lot and VIII Aid All
Oppressed

Dr. c. D. Salfeld has established a
mission for the oppressed. DR.. Sal
field has ever been somewhat of a
propagandist Of this and that endeavor
and dispute; and this time he has set
out deliberately to become in himself
q novel eleemosynary institution. He
is going TO fight signboards with the
arm Of the law.
According to the valiant doctor the
outdoor advertising firm of Schroeder
e. Hersog has trespassed on a lot
which DR.. Saslfeld owns at Fulton
and stsnyRn streets, and has erected
thereon, without his permission. a
signbosrd II feet high and 80 feet long.
The board proclaims the merits OF
frolicsome beer or swagger brands of
clothing, according 10 DR.. Salhelds at
torney, Arthur II. Barendt.
When the doctor learned yesterday
that his lot was being used for such
purposes he issued the following
proclamation:
7 have not only instructed Mr..
Bsrendt to bring suit against Schroeder
g. Herzog for trespass and dana ges,
but I Will advance costs OF litigation
for any property owner on whose lot
advertising fences and billboards arc
now located without the authorization
Of the property owner. 1 have for
years, at every opportunity, opposed
the disagreement of the streets of this
city by those ugly fences, and il only
a few thousand Of them can be re-
moved by this means 1 will feel thai
I have done some service for the city"
The doctors lot Is situated at q point
near the park entrance and afforded
q splendid site for a fence decorated
with q tolerably unoressed LADY ex-
plotting 8 brand of gay stays or drink
ing a foaming stein. Recently one of
the sign painting firm called on the
doctor and wanted to secure permits
sion TO use the lot for such ornamental
purposes. The doctor said no, but evil
IDENTIFY in tones not decided enough to
Brighten the advertising man, for the
next time Salfeld saw his lot he found
the long monument TO business enter
prise thwarting his vision. Immedia tely
he called upon his lawyer, and issued
his proclamation OF succor for all those
whose property has been disfgured
sgainst their wills.

Deputy Auditor Mathewson said yes

Special Agent Burns and his assist

fore the supreme court. That body

the auditor until August 2 to show

Mathewson said the office had four

ary demands might be made out.

whether these demands are on the
