GROTTO FAvORS
COLISEUM PLAN
AmoO Appoints Committee To In
yeStigaie Project and Method
OF Financing II.
AUDITORIUM IS MUCH NEEDED
Binding Seating 5000 Considered
BY Order the Size Required
in Rock Island.

Definite steps were taken by
Amoo Grotto No. 81 last evening,
toward making the proposed audi
tCrium a reality.
A committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Major Walter A. Rosen-
field, w. L. Franks, F. L. Patter-
son, H. B. Simmon and ]. T. Camp
bell to investigate the project, de-
wise ways and means for financing
the movement and report at anoth-
er meeting of the Grotto. The
unanimous opinion of the members
present last evening was that an
auditorium seating not less than
5000 people be considered, where
ell functions of a public nature ana
large gatherings may be held.
A committee consisting OF
Messrs. o. F. Hildebrandt, L. R.
Mace and F. L. Patterson was also
appointed to arrange for the an
nual summer outing, which will be
held either "a Long View park or
Watch Tower, some time IN
August.
Plans were also made to hold
another ceremonial within the Oexl
few weeks. in order to bring the
membership up to the 1000 marx.
The ceremonial will be known as
the Victory" in honor of the Grot-
to members who served during the
wac
Mary Garden Coming.
It is also planned TO present Miss
Mary Garden, the noted prima don
ma, early in December, and negotia-
tons are now being conducted with
that end in view A very extensive
program is being prepared for fail
activities, and thus far negotia-
tions have been concluded with

PRENDERGAST SAYS SERVICE OF
FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU HELD
CURTAILED BUT NOT DISRUPTED

Joseph E. Prendergast, United
States employment service exam
liner, in charge at Rock island ar
senal. in a statement issued today
declared that while the service is
curtailed as a result of congress
failing to appreciate the work
done by the free employment
agencies, it has not been disrupt
ed. Mr.. Prendergast said:
Seldom have we seen such in
slant and widespread popular sup
port of an institution that con-
gress failed to appreciate as in
the case of the United States en-
ployment service.
THE filibustering in congress in
the closing days of the session pre-
vented the passing of the appro-
priation bills, one of which carried
an item for the support end con-
tinuation of the employment ser
vice. The immediate result was a
reducing of the number of employ
ment offices from about $50 to Sc,
roughly, a reduction of 80 per cent
in the service.
DuI Of OACC oil ~
cess began to be put into effect
through the financial aid from in
dividuaIs, welfare organizations
and in a few cases by states. At
this writing the employment SER
vice now has in operation a total
of about 400 regular Offices and
more than 1000 cooperating bu-
reaus established for the benefit Of
returning soldiers and sailors
The list of these offices and bu
reaus is growing larger, so that it
is expected that the service will
be functioning on its previous
scale at the time that the forth
coming extra session of congress
the appropriation bill will be
passed.
1T is not conceivable that con-
gress will withhold funds in the
face of this great demonstration
of interest and support for the Ser
vice. Indicative of the spirit
throughout the country are the
happenings in the state of New
York. Under date of March 81,
]. P. Morgan & Co., in letter to
the federal director for the state
of New York, offered funds up to
100000 for the support of the
service up to July of this year.
Since the establishment of this
service in 1918 over 100000 per-
sons have secured jobs from it's
agencies. For the first three
months of this year the applicants
placed number as follows:
January, 372,1S6; February. 307,-
572; for the first two weeks in
March, with the reports of some
states missing, 212,000.
These figures indicate that the
service, though curtailed. is not
disrupted, thanks to its many
friends and supporters.
AN important part of the work
now being carried on is the assist
ance extended to discharged SOL
diers and sailors. Approximately
35 per cent of these men leave the
service without prospects of posi-
tions, and about so per cent of
them are being placed by the Unit

REACH COMPROMISE ON SCHOOL Is
NAME IN SELECTION MADE FOR
NEW BUILDING IN HILL SECTION

With the announcement made
yesterday that the new school
building on Eighteenth avenue and
Thirty second street will be called
the Washington" it has since be-
come known that two other names
were presented to the board and
that the one decided on was a COM
promise.
When the matter of the new
school was first taken up in the
present form, it was suggested by
a member of the board of educa-
ton that the building be named the
Roosevelt" 1t is understood that
he offered a resolution providing
for that name, which never was
seconded. however, because num-
Der of residents of the section of
the city which will be served by
the new building, it is understood,
were generally in favor Of naming
the school after President Wilson
and call it the Wilson"
Announcement that the board
decided on the name of Washing
ton indicates that the decision was

J. NJ. SandersOn Praises Ianlac for
Restoring Health and
Strength.

II have not only gained 30
pounds in weight since l com
menced laking Tanlac, Dat all my
trorbIes have been overcome
said ]. NJ. SalderSon, who is pro-
prietor of a large grocery business
at Forty-third and Main streets
and whose residence is 3S47 Chest
nut street, Kansas City, Mo-, while
talking with a Tanlac representa-
tive the other day.
For eight weeks before l com
menced taking Tanlac,' continued
Mr.. Sanderson, Il was not able to
be at my store at all, for my
health was in such awful condi-
ton that was not able
to attend to any business. Just
about a year ago l commenced to
have trouble with my kidneys, and
1 simply can't describe the awful
suffering 1 have been through
since that time. The terrible pains
in the small of my back were so
severe at times that l was hardly
able to stand it, and l hardly ever
got a good nights sleep. had the
very best treatment money could
get, but l gradually grew worse
all the time and was finally told
that an operation was the only
thing left to do. l had rheuma-
tism in my legs, too, and some
times my joints would be so badly
swollen that 1 could hardly walk.
Then my legs would often go to
sleep and there wouldn't he a par
ticle of feeling in them l also
suffered from bad heada ches ami
would have dizzy spells so bad
that the air just seemed to be
thick with black spots. | finally
got so weak and rundown that
was not able to attend to my bus
mess, and the greater part of the
time l was not able to be at the
store.
"A friend Of mine who had suf-
fered from the same kind of trou-
BILE told me about Tanlac, and also
said that Tanlac was the only med
icine that had ever done him any
good. l decided then to give it
rial, and l want to say right here
that the relief have gotten from
Tanlac is the most wonderful thing
have ever heard Of Why, by
the time l had taken a couple of
bottles / felt like a different man
altogether, and l just continued to
axe Tanlac until now l am as well
and free from pain as ever was n
my life. My appetite is so fine it just
looks like 1 can't get enough TO
eat l never have those awful
pains in my back as l did, and
when 1 go to bed l hardly ever
wake up until time to get up in
the morning. The rheumatism has
disappeared altogether ana all my
strength and energy have return
ed. / am in my store all the time
now, and can attend to my bust
ness as well as ever. II anybody
doubts this statement. | will be
glad to verify It any time they will
call me up or come to see me.
am more than glad to recommend
ranlac to everybody"

ed States employment service.
This work must be continued until
all of the military forces of the
country are demobilized.
-Four features of the service
that will need immediate develop
ment after sufficient funds are
available are the Standardization
of Office routine for all of the Of
will be given to each applicant no
matter what office he may enter;
the development of means so thai
labor can be transferred from one
point to- another, or from state to
state as need arises; the setting
up of means whereby it will be
possible to ascertain from the ap-
plicant for employment ais exact
qualifications so that he may be
accurately fitted to a position that
may be open; and the reestablish-
ment of the statistical part of the
service whereby information will
be collected and ~tabulated week
by week as TO the labor and en-
ployment situation for the entire
country and, particularly according
to industries.
without doubt the future of the
federal service is assured. The
need for the work that 1t is doing
and the essential assistance that
it is rendering to both employers
and workers cannot fail to be i'm
pressed upon every one who will
really investigate and study the
service that it is rendering. With
out doubt it holds the promise of
being one Of our greatest agencies
for mitigating the hardships of en-
nlOYment :"

SCOTT RETURNS
FROM MEETING
City Attorney Attends Session in
Springfield On Utilities COM
mission Act Ruling.

City Attorney ]. K Scott has re-
turned to Rock Island from Spring
field where he attended a meeting
of the city council of that city,
which furnished a hearing on the
recent ruling of the Illinois SUI
preme court that the clause in the
state public utilities commission
act which excerpts municipality
owned or operated utilities from the
jurisdiction of the utilities commits
sion is unconstitutional. Mr.. Scott
brought back with him valuable
data which he will be able to use
in the future and also the informa-
ton that the case which the city
of Springfield is bringing against a
gas company of that city is valid
enough to warrant a petition for a
reheaTing.
Fir. Scott is optimistic regarding
the outlook for an early hearing on
the question. He is of the Opin-
ion that the ruling will be in favor
of the city. in which event the lat
ter would be he gamer in a public
utility controversy.

LONG WEAR
FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins of Ookala, Hawaii,
makes a remarkable statement which
demonstrates the money-saving dura-
bihty of Neohn Soles.
He writes, After wearing a pair of
Neolin-soled shoes off and on for
thirty4hree months, l wore them on
a trip to the volcano of Kilauea and
walked around the crater over hot lava
six times and still the soles showed
.r5nly slight signs of wear"
This experience is not accidental.
It results from the scientific process
by which NeoIin Soles are made to be
exactly what soles Should be-com-
Portable, waterproof and exceedingly
economical because of the long wear
they give.
Get them on new shoes for all MEM
bers of the family and have them put
on worn shoes. They are made by
The GOODYEAR Tire & Rubber Com
panv. Akron, Ohio. who also make
Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.
