Last night mamma and papa went
to the hospital to see my godfather,

Detectives sent out by Lieut.. William
Funston of the Mercer street station

and explained to the police that she
did this because she was afraid Troia
would get up and kill her.
Stephane Gambino was put under

violation OF the Sullivan law in having

SENATOR VESTS aDOG SPEECH,

Poets and orators of all ages have
paid tribute to the faithful dog as
mans true friend.
Homer starts the list with MS de-
scription of Ulysses faithful hound
Byron wrote an epitaph Or his
Newfoundland dog, concluding with
the lines:
ITO mark friends remains these
stones arise;
never had but one, and here he
lies"
In America, the late Senator George
Is. Vest paid the most noted tribute
to the dog in what has passed into
history as Senator Vests dog
speech.
The dog speech was delivered in
johnson county, Missouri, when Sen.
stor eVst was practicing law in his
early days, and tablet has been
placed on the Johnson county court
house TO commemorate the fact that
it was there the speech was deliy-
cred.

dog belonging to a poor man by a
more important member of the COM
munity. The poor man sought dam

classic in the literature of law and

nearest and dearest to us, those whom

name may become traitors to their
faith.

cast in the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom-
panying him to guard him against
danger to fight against his enemy.

comes and death takes his master in
its embrace and his body is laid away
in the cold ground no matter Il all
other friends pursue their way, there
by the graveside will the noble dog
be found, his head between his paws,
and his eyes open in alert watchful-
ness, faithful and true even to death. "
It is also a part of the history Of
the case that the jury now with wet
eyes, gave a verdict for the Senator'S
client without leaving the jury box.

STRANGE NEW IDEAS
(By Winnifred Black, in Atlanta
Georgian)

To smoke or not to smoke-that is
the burning question.
Oh, of course I am talking about
women.
How many women do you know
who smoke? That depends upon
where you live.
In most Of the big American cities
and in every city and town in Eu-
rope many of the women you know do
smoke. Grandma lights a match and
hold up her cigarette to little grand
daughter to give her light and no
body is in the least amazed or
shocked.
In Paris and in London smoking is
quite an understood thing for wom-
en-English and French women Of
the upper classes have smoked for
+, years-but it took the American girls
:: to 60 over there and begin smoking
in the STREETS, and somehow l could
nevr get used to the idea.
| met little Kate Somebody from
Ohio and tall Mary Somebodyelse
from Indiana, walking down Picadil-
lily, both smoking away like cowboys.
| must confess I was o trifie startel.
My, how the world turns round!
Just as we wer reading that some
big corporation had stopped employ
ing men who smoked cigarettes, the
war broke out and we all began to
raise money to send cigarettes to the
boys in the army. And now since
the girls have gone abroad some OF
them have got the habit themselves,
and within year or so 1t may be
quite as common to See girls smoking
as boys.
