PRESIDENT ALDERMAN
URGES COMMON SENSE
IN HEALTH MATTERS

President Alderman, OF the
University of Virginia. heartily
endorsed today the health cam
paign now in progress in Char
lottesville, under the direction of
the Virginia tuberculosis assoc
citation and the state Board of
Health.
He emphasized three things;
First, that the average American
is old" al an earlier age than
the average European. second,
that this premature aging is
largely preventa BILE: third, that
the remedy for this state of af-
fairs is near at hand, and con-
ssts in annlying to the care of
the body the same kind Of com
mon sense which is employed in
caring for valuable machines.
Unfortunately" said he, the
common scuse Of health is known
10 only "A few THE. ideas and
basic facts have come so recently
from the ahodes of science that
the public has not yet appreciated
how simple and important is the
newer knowledge Every school
child shonld hn taught The COM
mon sense or health, every adult
should learn"
DIR. Alderman welcomed the
diagnostic clinic. partly because
il will save lives, but chiefly he
cause ii will focus attention upon
the new idea of keeping the body
healthy by the application OF
common sense.

makes II his rule
TO AVOID THE CLOCK

London, Juno 1.-The Daily Express
has discovered little Rolio's papa in
the person Of Alfred j. Bedford, the
Standard OIL magnate. who at pres-
ent Is in London and has given to Z
Daily Express reporter such an ad-
mirable list Of rules for attaining
success that leader appears in the
paper today under the heading:
How to Succeed which recites
the homely virtues OF the Rollo books
comparing them with Bedford's pre-
cepts.
The leader does not appear in the
children's section, but in the dignified
editorial column for all English men
to read and Profit by.
Il hadn't dollar in the world
when I started said Bedford but
was determined to get on and seized
every opportunity. ! made 1t a rule
never to look toward the clock and
often at the end OF hard day found
/ time to offer helping hand to 9TH
ers''
The leadinE writer OF the Daily Elk
press wakes enthusiastic over the
maxims laid down by Bedford and
says:
According to this captain OF indus
try whatever you do you must do
with all your might. II you drive an
omnibus you have to drive with
greater skill than the other man. II
you paint Il house you must paint bet
ter than the other man." etc
If only Mr.. Milhurn, chief counsel
OF the Standard Oil company could
only come to London now. what q
dandy second volume Of. this Rollo
series might appear.

ROBBED ON CITY HALL PLAZA
Shipworker Beaten Unconscious
Without Police Interfering

The police are at loss to explain
their absence from the vicinity of City
Hall when a shipworker was held up and
beaten into unconsciousness and left
lying on the pavement Of the plaza.
Thomas Coyle. a Chester shipworker,
was accosted by two men on South
Penn Square about o'clock yesterday
morning. He ran across the street to-
ward City Hall. calling loudly for help
as he ran. The two thieves apparently
had no fear that his cries would be
answered, for they followed him >in his
fight and caught him on the pavement
of City Hall plaza.
They beat Coyle into Inconsistencies
and then robbed him OF $25, Coyle re-
covered his senses some time later and
staggered to the Hahnemann Hospital,
still without seeing a patrolman, and
had his wounds dressed. He suffered a
broken nose and other injuries.
The hold-up was reported to the DO
lice of The Fifteenth and Vine streets
station, but they say they know nothing
of the matter.
