TROUBLE on THE WEST SIDE
Undsrtaksr Bruce Must Quit His AZ
hnitH or 20 % the BrideWel.

4 unity or 90 20 the oLAo0NoA-
Monday of last week Judge Uhlir
of the Domestic Relations Court con
ssuted to allow Joshua Bruce q West
Side Undertaken to go home and
"make eood'' with his wife, instead
of taking a trip to the Bridewen on
a charge of abandoning his wife. The
parties are all well known in their
part of the city and the trial created
a local sensation.
Mrs. Bruce who lives at 1917 Car
roll avenue, the complaining wife told
the Judge that her husband was good
to her and made home happy, until ne
got mixed up with the wife Of a neigh
Dor who monopolized his attentions so
that he finally left home and refused
to support his own wife.
Mrs. Bruce did not impress the court
as being unreasonable. She told how
this neighborhood "afinity" called up
the erring husband at all times OF the
day or night and made dates with him.
Mrs. Bruce determined to do a little
detective work to see what was going
on. She saw the husband and the at
hnity take q car one night at $3.50 and
not being able to follow them she
waited their return until after mid
night and saw Mr.. Bruce take key
ont of his pocket and open the af-
finity's door. She thought that when
her husband carried the key to an
other mans house, and kept midnight
dates with that mans wife it was
about time to 60 to court.
And that WASH Z all She told the
court that she had fifty dollar graph
ophone and it was all paid for and she
had a receipt to show for it, but it was
gone. In the happy days gone by, she
and her husband enjoyed the happy
strains of "Honey, Honey, bless your
SouI'', "You Great Big Blue Eyed
Baby" and other love songs, but after
the "afinity" got hold of Mr.. Bruce,
he took the graphophone and gave it to
the affinity as a birthday present, af-
ter that the graphophOne played love
songs for the affinity instead of the
wife.
Mrs. Bruce couldn't stand for that,
so one day when the affinity was not
at home the injured wife went to the
house and took the graphophOne back
again.
Judge Uhlir after hearing the wife s
testimony, asked the prisoner what he
had to say for himself. His excuses
did not satisfy the judge who told
him that he ought to be ashamed Of
the way he had treated his wife and
that it was not a case for fine, but
he must either leave other women
alone and take care of his wife or 60
to the BridewelL.
The husband begged for lenieney,
and as Mrs. Bruce was willing to take
him back and try him again, the Judge
allowed him to go back home with the
caution that he must behave himself,
keep away from the other woman and
treat Mrs. Bruce as a husband should
treat a good wife.
Mr.. Bruce went away with the
solemn promise to be good and with
the knowledge that if that affinity
"mixes up" in his family affairs
again, the judge will make "the PEN
atty fit the crime"

This is the 5Oth year of our freedom

wise the outside world that Alabama is
down about the bottom of the list of
States in intelligence and at the top in

Throughout the State Negroes are con-
vieted for minor ofenses and sold into
slavery to the highest bidder. They
are whipped and beaten with many
stripes 50 that the slave holder can
get the purchase price out Of them
In selling these slaves the State gets
more money for one than it pays on an

HEALTH NOTES.


Chicago has thousands of homeless
or ownerless dogs that are q menace
to the communities they are permitted
to infest. In addition to these are
thousands Of dogs, that have owners
and are roaming at large without being
either muzzled or licensed. The facts
are that the present dog tax Should be
doubled; and then when doubled,
should be rigidly enforced and col
lected. In Germany, no unlicensed or
untaxed dog is allowed to live. For
example, the city of Berlin has 45,34O
dogs, the tax from which brings into
the public treasury a tFife over
100000. Frankfurt has 5000 dogs
that yield yearly revenue to the city
of $4,000. So in all the cities of
Germany the dogs are heavily taxed
and in addition their owners are re-
quired to keep them in such a way
that they can neither annoy or injure
human beings.
Did you ever see a thoughless We
man on q shopping expedition hurry
ing along the street with rapid strides
and, tugging at her hand, little tot
running at almost its topmost speed
to keep up with its nervous, bargain
seeking motherf Usually that little
one is crying and protesting at being
thus literally dragged through the
streets for blocks without a chance
even to rest its weary little feet that
must make a least three steps to its
mothers one. No, the mother does
not mean to be unkind or cruel to her
child; but she is Just the same. And
to be cruel or unkind to q child Just
because we are thoughtless or so intent
on either pleasure or profit seeking is
Just about as bad as though we did it
with deliberate intent. Anyhow, the
physical damage to the child is just
the same. We should not forget that
little, short legs cannot take as big
steps as long, strong ones can; also
that when grown-ups are walking at
anything like a rapid gait, the little
one is compelled to run to keep up.
So, let's be considerste when out with
the children and moderate our steps
to suit theirs.
If you don't want your neighbOrs
to complain about you:
Don't neglect broken roof cutters
and down spouts. Don't throw rub
bish on the nearest vacant lot. Don t
beat rugs on the back porch. Don't
allow manure or other filth to aeeumn-
late on your own premises. Don t
keep chickens or ducks under your
back porch; don't keep your pigeon
cage outside the kitchen door. And
finally don't allow your neighbOr to
do any Of these things without speak
ing to him about them Then if he
refuses to be good send your com
plant to the Department Of Health.
Government authorities assert that
rats cause q loss to this country Of
S167, 0oo,0 900 annually. In view Of this
tremendous waste due to rats and also
the additional fact that they are ear
riers of disease, especially Of Bubonic
Plague, money spent to secure their
extermination should be q most profit
able investment.
Is your community infested with
hiesf If 50, it means that the manure
piles are not receiving proper atten-
ton. Remove al filth and the flies
VIII soon disappear.
