In campaign through which a
strong effort will be made to break up
the bad check evil in the District OF
Columbia, it is probable that number
of prosecutions against makers of bad
checks will be brought this week by
the Retail Merchants Association.
The proposed law. which was designed
to break up this practice, failed of pas
sage at the last session of Congress,
but it is believed that persons making
a practice of passing bad checks may
be prosecuted under existing statutes
During the last week a number of
bad checks have been placed in the
hands of the association, and through
Secretary Charles ]. Columbus have
been brought to the attention of
United States District Attorney John
e. Laskey. The Office of the United
terest in this matter, and Mr.. Laskey
has given assurances of all possible
cooperation.
Several persons are involved in two
of the cases, which are now under con-
alteration. This is a factor that has
proved surprise to the officers of the
Retail Merchants Association. who
have the matter in charge for the or
Called 'Pernicious Practice"
1T seems to have been a pernicious
practice with some of the bad check
makers to involve others in their
scheme of operation explained Sec
rotary Columbus last night. These and
other facts are being laid before Dis
trict Attorney Laskey and his as
sistants just as quickly as time will
permit.
Our Investigations also have de-
veloped remarkable examples of check
= kiting. All these cases are being very
closely Investigated. and / feel sure
there will be wholesome results.
Bad Checks a Menace.
Bad checks are not only a menace
to business, but to the public general
ly. We feel that check should be just
rs substantial as currency itself, and
We are going to see to it that all per-
sistent bad check distributors shall
meet the full force of the law e

Zulu Characteristics.

1t is a recognized fact that the
Zulu tribe is one of the finest in
southern Africa. The Zulu has a
sturdy frame, strong chest, wonder
full digestion, magnificent teeth. and
ilne muscles. He can stand hunger.
fatigue and exposure. While he is
slow to adopt modern methods of
tillage, irrigation and fertilizing. he
is beginning to recognize their advan-
tages. His hospitality, indifference to
pain, sense of humOr, good temper,
love of children, and trustworthiness
are all good traits in his character.
He is manly specimen. not a cring-
ing toady, and, in his natural state.
gentleman, every bit of him. In gen.
eral, he is law-abiding and obedient,
and he is not purposely cruel. He has
strong musical sense, and a remark
able knowledge of time and rhythm.
HIS powers of singing, even when but
slightly trained, are extraordinary.
The Zulu knows a good deal about
some things, but what he does not
know of what to the white man are
of common, everyday knowl-
edge, is appalling. His instructor is
always running up against a high
