WHITE PLAGUE IN AFRICA
Bad Liquor Is Causing Many Natives
Along Coast to succumb to
tuberculosis.

All Europe is at present interested
in the contest with tuberculosis. A
French paper calls attention to an
overlooked territory where there In
need of extending this struggle.
This is French Guinea, where the
ravages of the white plague are worse
than anywhere in Europe. At Bassam,
one physician found that 21 negroes
out Of every 10O'were victims of tuber-
culosis, while back from the coast
only two per cent. were infected.
And the explanation is simple: The
importations of spirits on the Ivory
coast in 1911 were 2,263,433 litres.
Ten litres are equal to IL quarts
These spirits were Holland gin, Eng.
llsh and German rum, and, worst OF
all, unnameable mixtures containing
quantities of furfurol and aldenyde.
These are brought by German
steamers, to which the natives give
the significant name of gin boats.

CLEVELAND, GA safe is not an
~ immovable object If Lee Hing, a
Mongolian resident of Cleveland, can
be believed. There is no reason why
Hing cannot be believed. He has had
experience with a safe-his first, and
last, for that matter.
When Lee said goodbye to Huron
Road hospital after a two months
stay he calculated to the effect that
he never wanted to again look a
safe in the face.
Lee Hing up to three months ago
lived at 1880 Ontario street and had
liking for safes which bordered on
the brink of affection. In the room
where Lee took his daily siesta there
reposed safe. A very reposing and
safety looking safe.
The safe contained nothing but air
and was unlocked, but that made no
difference to Lee. He would say his
evening prayers-to Confucius-

sleep of the innocent. He never even
dreamed of the Hip Sing tongmen
who are the ancient and deadly enc
mics Of the On Leon Tong of which

Rounds, Jr., page in the Massachu-
setts house OF representatives, and
Herbert b. Larner, a high school boy,
met on the field OF honor near Har-
ward university and fought bitter
duel Rounds for the loyalty of his
twin sister and Larner for the hand
OF his sweetheart The fight all but
cost Larner his life. For three days
after the encounter he lay between
life and death in the hospital and
was saved only by his sweetheart
breaking into his sick room, against
the doctors order, and kissing him.
The consequent change in his spirits
placed him on the road to recovery.
Rounds was arrested on charge
OF stabbing with intent to kill. 1t is
alleged that, when he found he was
getting the worst of the fistic encoun-
ter, he drew a knife from his pocket
and stabbed his adversary in the
breast.

! secret the fact that the safe had been
left behind in the rooming house by
Chinese merchant who had for
merly occupied the place.
How Lee came to lose interest in
safes and his own security is of more
interest than the history of this par
ticular safe. Lee was curled up be-
hind his seven-foot pipe and was puff
ing like a locomotive one afternoon
In front of his boarding house when a
gentle zephyr brought the startling
news that the Hip Sing tongmen were
going to pay visit to Lees bedroom
and hold a post mortem on the safe.
Incidentally the informant stated, the
Hip Sings might separate Lee from
his thinking apparatus.
That was the last straw. Lee al
most lost his trousers and shoe leath-
er getting up three flights of stairs to
his snoring emporium. With J one
bound he was at the side of the safe.
Rudely he dragged the two ton strong
hox toward the stairs.
Lee clambered down two steps and
lovingly grabbed the safe. With
delicate little start the safe fell for
ward into Lees upheld arms. There
was a brief hesitation as Lee grasped
the object to his breast. The hesita-
tion was decidedly brief Lee sudden
ly rolled his eyes like snake charm
