it necessary to operate on him at once

dressed and left the hospital, and
came home on the afternoon train. He

ISOLATION Open Campaign to
Clean Patter in Pasadena.

PASADENA. April 11.-Sterilized
vaudeville jokes, free from all sug-
gestion oof vulgarity will be the
only class of 5okes to be heard on the
local theatrical stage if the campaign
started by the HighNSchool Parent
Teacher Association meets with sue
cess.
At meeting of the organization
this afternoon it was decided to wage
a vigorous campaign in favor of clean
jokes on the vaudeville stage in Pas
adena.
1t was the contention at the meet
ing that while there was a board or
censorship in Pasadena to censor mo-
ton pictures there was no ordinance
whatever to regulate performances on
the regular stage.
A committee, consisting of Mrs.
Clara Bryant Haywood and Mrs. ]. L.
Atkinson, was appointed to make an
investigation and submit detailed
report. Mrs Atkinson said:
$50 many of our boys and girls are
now attending the theater that it Is
disgraceful to permit of questionable
acting. The matter of questionable
vaudeville will be brought up not only
before the Parent Teacher Fedora
ton meeting next month, but 1t will
also be brought before all the
churches and the public generally.

BUSINESS SOLID
IN SOUTH, SAYS
PRES. HARRISON
Southern Railway Head Declares
His System Is Not Laying
OFF Men,

NEW YORK, April Following
the widespread report that great IN
dustries throughout the nation were
laying off thousands of men, Presi-
dent Fairfax Harrison, of the South
ern Railway, in letter to the Hear t
newspapers, denies the report in so
far as his system is concerned, and
declares that business conditions in
the South are sound.
Mr. Harrison's letter is as follows:
1T is the policy and practice Of
the Southern Railway Company TO
make its appropriations, for such cur
rent expenses as can be controlled by
management, monthly, on the basis Of
existing and prospective business
conditions
Speaking generally, we have not
in recent months curtailed our shop
hours, nor have we Withdrawn trains
nor practiced any other extraordinary
form of curtailment. Business con-
ditions in the South are essentially
sound, and while there has been in
recent weeks some slowing up in the
general movement of traffic, resulting
in small decreases of revenue as COM
Jared with a year ago, we do not at
the moment anticipate such continued
falling of. revenues as will make nee
bessary change of policy with regard
to appropria tons.
with the constant tendency OF al
expenses of operation to increase, we
have been able in the South to main
tain our position largely by reason of
the fact that revenues have also
steadily increa sed, and we trust and
believe that the present depression is
t,o,a haf ha {7p Of
revenues will be resumed, and that it
will not be necessary for us to re-
trench in the essentials, as conserva-
tive management must under pro-
tracted conditions of decreasing rev.
enues and increasing eXpenses.o
