Worthless Cures"

After investigating under the food
and drugs act large number of
preparations advertised rs consump-
ton cures, the department has not
been able to discover any that can
IN any sense be regarded rs "curcs"
for tuberculosis. Some contain drugs
that may at times afford some tenn
porary relief from the distressing
symptoms of the disease. but this is
all. Since the passage of federal
Legislation prohibiting the shipment
IN interstate commerce of medicinal
preparations for which false and
fraudulent claims are made there has
been marked tendency to label
these preparations remedies" in
stead of "cures" or ''infallible cures"
~ they used to he called. In MANY
cacs. however, they can not even be
regarded a remedies.

of five different preparations which

Prevention of Moth Oamaue

The variou substances used To keen
away moths. such ~ tobacco, cam
phor, nnphihalcnc cones or balls, tar
red paper. aud cedar chips, have no
effect If the eggs are already pres
ent in the clothes. Entomologists in
the department therefore recommend
thorough beating. shaking, aud
brushing of all articles likely to at
tract moths before they are laid
away for the summer. The brushing
of garments is especially important
III order Ia remove eggs which may
have escaped notice. II the articles
are quite free from egos or larvae
when laid away, the odor from the
various repellants already mentioned
ar from cedar chests and wardrobcs
will serve 10 keep the moths away.
This odor, however. lessons with age,
so that the protection il affords is
greatly decreased after II few years.
For this reason when furs and other
valuable garments are wrapped in
iarred paper or placed in sacks of
tarred paper these containers should
be renewed every year or two.

BETTER TRAINING FOR
SCHOOLGIRLS NEEDED
DR.. CARRIER, Acting Superin-
tendent, Favors Improvement
of Teaching Methods

"Our girls should be better prepared.
If the courses in the schools were i'm
proved we could do more for the girls in
preparing them to take up their work
outside in a more intelligent way"
DIR. John P. CARRIER. acting superinten-
dent of Schools, thus made an urgent ap-
peal to the Rotary Club at its luncheon
in the Adelphia Hotel today. He asked
for cooperation between the manufac-
turers and the School Board. so that the
girls would be able to continue their
studies when working. Mr. CARRIER urged
time schedules wherein the girl workers
could find time 10 study.
"The working girls in this city are be-
coming a problem" he said. There are
more than 1000 girls working in fac
tories and machine shops here. and be-
lieve that If the time schedules we're inn
proved so that they could study a little,
conditions would improve. We also need
more training in the schools for girls so
that when they graduate they will not
be totally unprepared to enter business
Not SO many girls would then have to
accept positions In factories"

TONS OF DIRT FALL
ON THREE WORKMEN
Wooden Supports Give Way and
and Laborers Are Plunged
Into Excavation

Three workmen employed in excavating
for the Bulletin Building annex on Fill
bert street, near Juniper, were buried un-
der several tons of dirt today when the
wooden supports gave way under the
sidewalk, dropping the dirt 30 feet to the
bottom of the excavation.
Hundreds of people from nearby office
windows watched big steam shovel and
gang of worl<men dig out the men in
less than 20 minutes.
Two were unconscious when found and
taken to the Hanhnemann Hospital suf-
fering from cuts and bruises and internal
injuries. They are Nicholas Salagai, 6l3
South Clarion street, and BENJAMIN Pri-
vani, of 7O6 South sth street. The other
man. Leo Lemon, of 14l4 South Ban
croft street, received first aid treatment
and went back TO work.
The men were employed by Peoples
Brothers. who are making the excavation
for the building. 1t is believed that the
pressure from the street was too great
for the wooden supports. which caused
them to give way
Hundreds OF persons gathered after the
accident and the Reserves were COM
pelle to rope off the street to prevent a
further cavern.

NEGROES TO URGE MAYOR
TO STOP birth OF NATION"
Delegation From Lodges Will Con-
tend IL Causes Disorder


Protest against production of The
Birth OF Nation" at the Forrest Thea
tire will be carried TO Mayor Blankenburg
by committee representing negro or
ganizations. The committee will ask the
Mayor to use the authority vested in him
by the act OF 1918
Under this act, they contend. the Mayor
Is empowered after receiving written
complaint TO exercise the police powers
Of the city to- prohibit any production
which. n continued, Is likely TO be hurt
ful TO the community at large" and
against which there has been public pro-
test.
The protestants say that the lnjunc-
tion was issued by Judge Ferguson be-
fore the picture play actually had been
produced here. Their argument. they con-
tend, calls upon the Mayor to stop the
play for a different reason. Director
Porter ordered the play etopped because
he feared disorder; they ask the Mayor
now TO stop IL because there has been
disorder
Among the negro organizations repre-
sented on the committee are the Negro
Masons, the Negro odd Fellows, the
Negro Knights OF Pythias and the South
ern League.
A delegation of negroes entered City
Han yesterday to see Judge Ferguson,
but through a mistake in arrangement s
did not meet him. II was said today they
were under misapprehension that a fur

MINE WORKERS
MEET TO MAKE
HEAVY DEMANDS
Recognition of Union Will
Be Chief Item in Ex-
tensive Program
WANT EIGHT-HoUR DAY

wILKEs-BARRE, Pa, Sept. s-Dele-
gates from local unions OF the anthracite
field, with the district officers and on
cials of the international organization OF
the United Mine Workers OF Amer "A,
are here and have settled down TO formu-
late carefully their demands for n new
working agreement with the anthracite
operators
John p White. international president;
william Green, formerly the national
statistican and now treasurer OF the or
ganization, and leading field workers of
the mine workers, will aid n committee
selected by the convention to form q set
of demands which the convention will
adopt.
While there is general peace talk among
the officials OF the unions, and although
the operators have been recently urging
peace I'm the ranks, It is certain that the
miners will stand behind their demand
for complete recognition OF the union,
which will assure permanently the life OF
the organization and which will force
every man in and about the mines into
membership of the mine workers.
1t is generally admitted that there will
be large set of demands, but the chief
Item will be the demand for recognition
An eight-hour day will be another big
demand.
Next in Importance will be a more sat-
isfactory way OF adjusting grievances be-
tween miners and employers than through
the board OF conciliation, which was es-
tablished by the Anthracite Strike Com
mishsion in 1902. A wage increase of 20
per cent. will be another important de-
mand. and after this will come demands
OF minor Importance.

Says, After Finding Sus-.
poets Threatening Let
ters to Husband
SUPPORTS BROWNS STORY

PROVIDENCE, Sept. S.-After a con-
ference with Assistant States Attorney
General Branch here, Chief Of Police
Robbins, Of Darlington, says the States
case against Mrs. Elizabeth T. Mohr and
the three negroes who charge that she
hired them to murder her husband, DR..
G. Franklin Mohr. is complete.
The statement followed a deposition
made TO him by Miss Florence Ormsby,
who was in charge of the doctors office
in Stewart street, this city; the discovery
that many threatening letters from Mrs.
Mohr to her husband are in existence,
and the first public knowledge that Sam
uel Bryant, proprietor OF the b. and w.
Motor Company, has corroborated the
story of the purchase OF the motorcycle,
as given in the confession of Brown,
one OF the accused negroes.
At the same time assertions were made
by prominent lawyers OF this city that
Doctor Mohrs estate-estimated at from
100000 TO $500,000--had been accumulated
in the last Ave or six years by the exor-
bitant fees he exacted from leaders in
every walk in life in this State.
simultaneously lawyers connected with
the case said they believe large sums
of money are being spent in the fight here
to free Mrs. Mohr and to show that she
Is the victim of conspiracy.
1t further was declared by the police
that two letters found on Doctor Mohr
when he was killed and his pretty secre-
tary, Miss Emily G.. Burger, was seri-
ously wounded, are addressed to Brown,
ask for an immediate interview with him
and have Mrs. Mohr's name as sigma
lures.
