MOST FRAGRANT OF FLOWERS
Baltimore Admlrer Declares the Breath
Of the Lilac Stands unmstched
for Sweetness.

When the lilacs breathe. odors OF
Araby become fetid and astringent In

their odOrous breath carries the fra

gathered to themselves, where they
have bloomed by the garden wall or

ated by the picturing OF beauty and
tenderness that the fragrance Of the
hlossoming lilacs brings to the mind.
One sees the path through the. garden
winding down to the clump OF lilacs.
The faces of other days are framed
In the pictures that fancy creates
through the magic Of the lilacs.
The panicles OF bloom are In full
flower and the blooms will be hailed
with JOY By the multitudes who have
in their feelings the sentiments to
which lllacs appeal. They are medi-
tative and reflective kind of flower.
They come so quietly In the spring.
They bloom forth so abqndantly and
magnificently. They sing their con-
cert to the airs of April and cause the
four winds of the heavens to become
their survivors to the Joy Of man.

At the recent celebration at Mans

fat was brought out that the Hanks
family has long been known for its
ingenuity. The first town clock known
in this country was made on Hanks

Claims Philadelphia Land.

The city 'of Philadelphia has been
reminded, in an unexpected fashion. of
its association with william Penn. He
reserved for the Indians two small
pieces of land where they might come
IN peace and build their council fires.
One of them. patch Of IS feet by 100.
under the shadow of the towering Ritz
Carlton hotel, Is now covered with
asphalt. The other Is used as a stor-
age and dumping ground for odds and
ends. There has appeared an Indian
princess named No-toh-tha - which
means, in the Seneca language, "Never
contented"-claiming these reserva-
tions for the use of her people. She
has filed her application with the In
dian Rights association, and Intends. II

THE NEW SCHOOL TAX

To conduct successful dcmoc-
racy there must be an educated
body oil citizens. To carry the
burdens Of the times these citi-
zens must be economically eff
cient. Only through education
can good citizenship and produc-
tivity. be achieved. SO upon the
success. of'thc- schools the future
of America depends.
All this is realized well enough
by the teaching forces of the
schools. No group Of people is
more earnest or conscientious.
The boards and committees and
trustees that control public
schools, give time to this work
as a matter of public spirit and
are doing their best
Most parents pass the children
over to the schools to he educated
and give no further thought to it..
Hence they can not act intelli-
gently when their support is
needed.
Parents with children in the
schools should make a serious eff
fort to acquaint themselves with
the aims and methods of educa
ton as conducted. They should
show personal and social atten-
ton to the teachers of their chill
dren, They will find it pays. The
closer their touch with the
schools. the better backing they
will give to the school work
Pupils whose parents are indif-
ferent or ignorant of school work,
are not apt to take much interest
in their lessons. When they feel
that their parents are keenly in
terested in what they are doing
and believe in it and support the
methods and purposes of the
schools, then the children realize
the importance of their tasks an
devote themselves to them with
enthusiasm. Too frequently the
home influence tends to break
down school discipline, and er
courage children to acquire an in
subordinate attitude.

Orleans Grand Jury to
Probe Vice Charges

New Orleans, May AS direct
result of the charges made by Cap
tain Harold M. Wilson of the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities
that there were in operation in New
Orleans forty-two houses in which
prostitution was practiced the Or
leans parish grand jury has been
called together for next Friday
morning to investigate these charges.
Captain Wilson has been sharply
taken to task by the city administra-
ton for his charges of vice in New
Orleans and lively newspaper de-
bate between the captain and Mayor
Martin Behrman ensued. A new fac
tor in the case when it comes up be-
fore the grand jury will be DR.. Will
liam Edlor, head of the veneral dis
ease section of the United States
Public Health Service in New Or
leans.
Originally the clash grew out of a
statement by Captain Wilson before
medical society that thirty or for
ty houses of prostitution were ope-
rating openly in New Orleans. He
was promptly hailed into court and
orders from his superiors; making
dresses, which he did on receipt of
orders from his Supporters; making
public a list of forty-two names
which were turned over to the chief
of police for investigation.
The city police reported that in all
but a few cases the complaint was
not well founded" However, two
women were recently arrested by
special officers of the district attor-
ney from one of the very houses
about which the city police had re-
ported complaint not we'll founded"
on information alleged to have been
furnished by Captain Wilson's de-
partment. Statements and counter
statements have come from Captain
Wilson and Dr. Elder will testify
Friday before the special session of
the grand jury. Interesting devel-
opments promise.
