SILVER TUBE IN THROAT
GIVES SINGER HIS VOICE
Renaud, Germantown Artist,
Regains Tones Lost in
Auto Accident

The insertion of silver tube in a
singers throat after his voice had been
ruined by an operation has worked a mod
ern miracle and restored his voice. The
singer is Michele Renaud, who is well
known in Germantown, his home for the
last year lie has sung minor roles in
many of the operas presented in this city
and New York.
About a year ago the singer was in an
automobile accident in which his throat
was cut by n broken windshield.
Unwilling to abandon his ambition for
an operate career, Renaud spent many
hours daily in an effort to coax the tone
back to his voice. For nearly year he
struggled along by teaching and writing
music. Then he met a prominent New
York physician who told him in the spirit
of humor that he might regain his voice
IL he could get new windpipe
Renaud took him seriously and con-
suited local physicians in the hope of
being able to obtain silver tube in his
throat. The local physicians advised
against It, Not to be daunted Renaud
went to New York and convinced phys
icians there that he could breathe only
with difficulty. The physicians decided to
insert the tube which he desired so
strongly.

FAMILY IN DISTRESS
Death of Father Brings Gloom to
Mother and Children

Death and poverty have taken the sun
shine from the life of Mrs, Melville
Cloud, of 25i0 Coral street. With seven
little children cuddled about her today
she had nothing to look forward to. Her
husband, who was crushed to death by
the falling of a telegraph pole, will be
buried tomorrow The expense of his
funeral will be borne by the Colonel Fred
Taylor Post. 6. A. r.
The Post is giving a carnival this week
at Gensington and Allegheny avenues,
and one nights receipts will be given
to the Melville family.
Although many neighbors have gone to
the aid of the grief-strcken family, they
are sadly in need of many of the neces-
stiles of life, and their outlook for the
future is decidedly gloomy. Myrtle, II
years old, is the only breadwinner, and
the enforcement of the child labor law
viii soon deprive the family of her small
earnings.
Services will be conducted at the house
tomorrow morning by the Rev. H. Wat
son Barras, pastor of the Frankford Ave-
nue. Baptist Church, and a timely ser
mon will he preached by John StraCk,
superintendent of the Sunbeam Mission.

no other country in the world.
As long as our courts pay so little respect TO
the acts of the legislative department of bur
government, it is well that such organizations
as the Consumers league, and such public sery-
ants as Miss Josephine Goldmark and Louis ID.
Brandes, undertake to see that the great public
interests involved in labor legislation are ade-
quately presented to the courts. To this organ
ization and to this man and woman the whole
country is indebted for finally convincing the
courts that the lawyers fetish of freedom OF

the legal profession that laws are not only assai-
ed by powerful interests able to employ the most
brilliant lawyers, but that very often the at
lacking party arranges to have the other side a
seeming instead of real, opponent In other
cases the opponent is without means to employ
capable counsel.
Among the important reasons for want Of re-

in which Me judicial department treats the SOL

1t is creditable to the highest court in New
York that it has acknowledged it's error and
stated so frankly the cause of it. AT the same
time, though it is not only serious Indictment
of the court, but sheds flood of light on why so
much progressive legislation is knocked out by
our courts. Badly stated, the court admits that
when it nullified solemn enactment of the leg
islature, it gave little no weight to the judg-
ment of the Legislative department that such
legislation was necessary, and the judges justify
themselves because the lawyers in favor of the
law did not adequately present their case.
The validity of our laws, then, depends on not
whether our laws are constitutional, but wheth-

In 1907 the New York court of appeals held

labor for women. The same court, without
dissenting vote, has now reversed its previous
decision and has held substantially the same
statute, passed in 1913, to be valid. The changed
result is not due to any amendment of either the
constitution of the United States or of the state
Of New York. In its recent decision upholding
the law, the court explained it's previous over

inconsequential."
