Would Eliminate Old .a
Forts Around Paris

Paris, Feb. THE question of
the demolition of the ring of anti
quated fertilization which surrounds
Paris will be brought up before the
municipal council during the course
of the next few months. This is not
as a result of the armistice or be-
cause of League of Nations which is
expected 10 put an end to wars for
ever or because of the fact that
with modern artillery the fortitica-
tions would be useless. The matter
has already been brought up before
the council. 1t dates back from
1884. The plan. however, would
have to be referred to parliament by
the municipal council after its adop-
ton.
Louis Dausset, an alderman of the
city of Paris. is sponsor for the pro-
Ject. He argues that the benefits to
be derived are closer, easier con-
tact with the Paris suburbs, elimina-
tlon OF the necessity of entering or
leaving Paris through the various
gates and the freeing of valuable
land for building purposes.

the irritation of defective teeth.
Cancer of the lip and tongue is on
the increase as the habit of smoking
is on the increase in both sexes. It
seems to be a we'll established fact
that in the countries in which the
breasts are allowed to remain ex-
posed to the air without covering,
cancer of the breast is extremely
rare and the incidence is in direct
ratio to the amount of covering of
the breast and the pressure exerted
on it.
Thirty per cent OF all cancers in
men and twenty-one per cent in
women are in the stomach. The in
fluence of drinks too hot to be held
comfortably in the mouth in the pro-
duction Of the chronic irritation
which precedes the development Of
gastric cancer seems probable.
"The majority of cencer patients
come to operation too late to he

strate inoperability in a given case
and therefore operation must be
done in many questionable cases."

All Should Use
Red Cross Seal

The Red Cross Seal-as millions
of Americans know it today-is an
agent of happiness and health. 1t
was originated in 1907 by Miss Emily
P. Bissell of Wilmington, Delaware,
who learned through Jacob Riis of
somewhat similar seals that were
sold in Norway for the purpose Of
raising funds with which to fight
tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the idea
with the result that seals were sold
in limited number of communities
in 1908. The sale yielded a revenue
of approximately 5000. The Red
Cross then decided to issue the seal
each year and to turn the proceeds
over to the National tuberculosis
Association and its affiliated socie-
ties for the purpose Of financing the
campaign against tuberculosis. The
number of seals sold in America in
creased by leaps and bounds until in
1917 the total reached 180,080,000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December LIST. More
than half billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the seals
Health Bonds" in denominations
ranging from $500 to 100000 are
to be sold in lieu Of seals to large
contributors who do not send out
sufficient quantity Of mail in De-
cember to make use of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas of all the state or
CARNATIONS call for more than
$6,5O0,000 to carry out the intensive
educational campaign being conduct
ed by the National tuberculosis as
sociation and its 1000 affiliated So
cieties.

MICHIGAN SENATOR
ACCUSED Of FRAUD
NEW6ERRY AND HUNDRED AND
THlRTY-THREE OTHERS UNDER
INDICTMENT. :
Federal Grand Jury Charges That
Half Million Dollar Corruption
Fund Was Raised to Defeat
Henry Ford for Senate.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-Truman H.
Newbeerry, United States senator from
Michigan, was indicted by a United
States grand jury on November 20
for corruption, fraud and conspiracy
In connection with the election by
which he obtained his seat in the SEN
ate, defeating Henry Ford, his Demo-
cratic opponent.
With Newberry, 1873 other persons
were indicted by the grand jury on
the same charge, among them being
P. A. Hopkins, st. Claire, Mich, as
sistant secretary Of the United States
senate; John S. Newberry, brother of
the senator, Detroit; Frank Mckay,
Grand Rapids; J. B. Bradley, Eaton
Rapids; Gladston Beattie, Paw Paw,
and Paul H. King of Detroit. King
was manager of the Newberry cam
paign committee.
Judge Sessions indicated that the
evidence before the grand jury dis
closed the fraudulent expenditure of
between $500, 900 and $1,OOO,OOO in con-
nectiOn with the election.
Government officials asserted that
the testimony presented to the grand
jury had revealed political scandal

parallel In American annals. They said

GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.

Musical critics are unanimous in
their review of the Paulist Choris
ters' concert, rare treat for which
music lovers of Louisville are great
ly indebted to District Deputy
Thomas ID. Clines and Louisville
Council, Knihgts of Columbus. The
consensus of opinion of our best
musical authorities was expressed as
follows by one most competent to
pass upon the merits of the work of
Rev. Father Finn and his boys:
A concert of such rare merit as
that given by the Paulist Choristers
at the Armory DESERVES words of
praise that would seem exaggera-
ton to anyone not fortunate enough
to hear it. All that the advance no.
tees promised and much more was
enjoyed by the audience. whose APP
probation often rose to the point of
enthusiasm. Directed by Father w.
j. Finn, some sixty OF seventy men
and boys gave programme whose
extreme difficulty was not its only
unusual feature. Any one of the
numbers sung is in itself study
to which the performer must bring
the sternest application, besides
those rare gifts, fine mind and a
voice of more than average beauty.
From the first uttered note, the per-
feet blending of tone was the fea-
ture which most impressed the audi
ence. The soprano of boys voice
is fundamentally different from that
of w0man's. 1t has more
ethereal seraphic quality
The soprano section of the Paul
lists possesses number of phenom-
email voices, whose perfect unity
gave an almost celestial effect when
they soared-apparently without
limit--in the Kyfies and Glorias and
other examples of sixteenth century
music. In the second part John Fin
negan, who had been keeping him
self In. the background. gave the
audience something of a surprise in
the Puccini aria. and made persons
wonder il they had not been trans
ported backward to the night when
another Irish tenor reused the
echoes of the same hall
He has fine. control of a very
beautiful voice, which he displayed
| in the exquisite pianissimo finish
of "Macnshla," which he sang for
his first encore, the second being an
Irish ditty whose homeiy humor was
greatly enjoyed by those fortunate
enough to be nearest the stage.
