Fearing Strike
Hyde Gets Check
For Bible Class

The building fund Of the Character
Builders Bible class received a sub
stantial boost Saturday when the IA
statesmen for the Malone-Hyde Grocery
company rendered to Joseph r. Hyle,
teacher of the Character Builders, their
subscriptions to tho fund, aggregating
$500.
1t was at the regular monthly meet
ing of the sales staff that one Of the
men requested Mr.. Hyde to withdraw
from the meeting for a few minutes.
He compiled with the request and spent
several anxious moments bordering over
what sort of ultimatum to expect from
the statesmen on his return. He had
never heard Of a salesmen's strike and
he knew Of nc grievance the men har-
bored, but in these troubled times he
was prepared for the worst.
His surprise and pleasure can easily
be imagined when he vas recalled and
the spokesman informed him that in
view of the splendid work the Char
acter Builders class was doing for the
community the statesmen desired to
have a part in the building Of Character
Builder hall and had accordingly sub
scribed $500 which they wished to con-
tribute on behalf of the sales force OF

FRENCH CHIEF AT FIUME
DELP0RES TROOP ACTION

ROME, July Cen. Savy,
der of the French troops at Fiume, says
In an interview with the Giornale d
Italia that the action Of some of his
soldiers who recently offended Italians
in that city by cheering for J~ugo-Slavia
was most deplorable." He points out,
however, that 1t would be a mistake
to generalize and make the fault of a
few that Of the whole French contin-
gent"
Gen. Savy say he did his best to be
neutral In the question Of Fiume, es-
pecially as he has In his command some
Serbian troops, but he adds that he un-
derstands the position of the Italians
and that "if he were in their place he
would have acted likewise" Expressing
his regret for the incident, he says:
II an sorry there should be any feel
Ing between two peoples who have fra
ternized at the front against the COM
mon enemy. Italy ought to be COM
pensated for her sacrifices and when
Fiume Is assigned to Italy. | shall be

THE SOUL OF THE VIOLIN.

(ilanelle)
There are many different kinds of lawless sin,
But the girl next door is arch-fiend of them all,
AS she gently scrapes upon her violin.
There's the outrage that was brought on by Berlin,
And the scandal of the Babylonic brawl;
There are many different kinds of lawless sin.
But more terrible than vandal javenn
Are the piercing strains that echo through the hall
From the girl who gently scrapes her violin.
There's the fagrancy that comes from drinking gin,
And the intamy that dwells in glasses tall.
There are many different kinds of lawless sin.
But those waing notes like rap of rusty tin
More deadly than a spook that girl can squall-
AS she gently scrapes upon her violin.
And to me the very devils sister twin
Is that lady with her haunted fiddle call;
For many are the kinds of lawess sin,
But none arr like that ghoulish violin!

title, at the First Regiment Armory

round started, when Ritchie was help
less on the ropes. Ritchie was prac-
tically out Except in the third round.
when Ritchie made a rally and forced
the champion backward around the
ring. Leonard had the best fthe bout
all the way.
Ritchie's gameness was the only
thing which kept him battling. With
remarkable courage the former cham
Leonard gave him. and without finch
ing took rights and 1efts to the jaw
which would have battered down any
boxer who stood before the furious at
tack.
Leonard's bitter punches began to
wear Ritchie in the second round. and
wicked rights and lefts to the jaw
sent him down for the count of nine
He got up and staggered his way
through this session gamely. His re-
viyal in the third round was a big
surprise. and he tore into Leonard
with such fury that the champion
kept backing away. This round was
the only one in which Ritchie- had any
advantage.
