MEN MUST COMBAT
THE SOCIAL EVIL
DUTY of Church to Remove
Grues0me Demand, Says
Chicago Dean

Atlantic City, N. J., May 8.--"1t Is the
men of the country who must combat
the social evil" says Dean Walter
Sumner of Chicago, In an address to-
day to the clergy and laymen of the
New Jersey diocese of the Protestant
Episcopal church, In attendance upon
the convention in progress.
Time was that this was woman s
problem, but no longer. 1t is the duty
of the church to remove the demand for
as gruesome business as this. 1t is the
duty of the men of the chruch.'
Dean Sumner talked of social work
as serious and not mere idle pursuit.
He said statistics taken In Chicago
showed that so per cent of the young
men are not healthy enough to marry.
In the field of woman's work. every
pursuit, the dean said Is now over
crowded, excepting the field of domestic
service Wages he considered ridicu-
lously low for women to live an honest
life on, and he urged every minister
to do his part to make a minimum wage
for women of at least $3.50 a week.
This the dean was hopeful could be
achieved by the cooperation of labor
and capital.

SPEAKING OF RIBS
BY CHARLES II. MANDY

The famous contention of Ellis Parker
Butler that pigs is pigs is now gen.
orally admitted, for he proved to his own
satisfaction that a pig is a pig, regard
less of race, color or previous condition
of servitude. This logic might apply to
all intents and purposes to other things;
in fact, it does in the case of T. I. Ash
ford, the well-known paint man, for he
has come out strongly and squarely and
says "ribs is ribs" regardless of shape,
size and dimensions
In the window of his store on Third
avenue he has placed on exhibition a
mysterious something that is feet long.
Q inches in circumference and weighs &c
pounds. 1t is bow-shaped and has pro-
jections on each end like an enlarged
knee iolnt. 1t bears this legend: This
rib was found six miles below Besse-
mer: name it, Note that Mr.. T. T.
does not beat around the bush in decid-
ing what part OF the prehistoric man.
moth it might have once been a part of,
but comes out boldly and said 'this
rib" settling forever any controversy as
to what it might have been.
That it is a genuine bone there is no
doubt. for Mr.. Ashford has had an analy-
sis made of its composition and it has all
the elements of bone of today. 1t has
attra cted much attention and much COM
ment. Notwithstanding the fact that t
is described as rib, here are many who
express doubt as to the correctness of
that statement. yet cannot suggest a bet

BOARDS ARRANGE
FOR INSTITUTE
Teachers Must Attend Some
Reputable Institution or
Lose Certificates

Montgomery. May 6.-(SpeciaD-P
limlnary details for the various teach
ers institutes in the state are being
worked out by the department of edu-
cation and the county boards of edu-
cation throughout Alabama. The inst.-
tutes will open on July l and will run
until October 81. during which time an
institute will be held in every county
of the state.
The law with reference to attendance
upon teachers Institutes is very rigid
Every teacher in the state except those
who hold life certificates are required
20 attend and the penalty for non-a at
tendance, without good excuse, is
cancellation of license to teach.
Other teachers who may be excused
from attending institutes are those
who agree to attend some reputable
summer school and take a course of
study. All teachers excused are re-
qaired to present a written excuse from
the superintendent of education of the
county in which they teach
The list of the various Institutes. to :
gether with the dates on which they
will be held, Will be announced within
the next week or 10 days. Institute
instructors will also be announced ar

ter or more fitting name, proving conclu-
sively Mr.. Ashford's contention that ribs
is ribs"
AS to the species of animal to which the
bone formerly belonged there is much
speculation and everything from cater
wampus to a hippotimigator has been
suggested. One man said it was the rih
of a monster elephant that broke loose
from some travelling circus and got lost
in the woods, and further stated that he
had seen an elephant that would corre-
spond in size to the rib on exhibition,
which brought forth the remark from a
bystander. 'Ill bet he saw pink monkeys
and six headed snakes at the same time. -
Another man gaZed intently on the
bone for quite awhile, he even went in
side the store and inspected It closely
as he left the store he remarked to Mr.
Ashford, THAT bone belonged to some
animal all right. but holy smoke, what a
whopper he must have been. Why, II
he had started after me 1t would have
been easier to catch Lacy than it would
have been to catch me-"
Speaking of ribs reminds US that wom-
an was made from the rib of man. II
seems hardly conceivable that such a be-
witching, bewildering sweetly charming
creature could have been made with such
bum material.
1t also reminds us or an atrocity we
got by the editor sometime ago, and
being somewhat apropos. will take an
other chance. The question is this, if a
fellow sees dainty little charmer walk
ing down the street. in whom he is in
terested and who in the goodness of her
heart tolerates him. would he be justi-
fed in saying. There goes one of my
