coNTENTED7

Think Of it: really contented man has been found; man who is perfectly satisfiNd with his lot in life and the condition in which he lives!
 And where do you suppose he is? Not in a marble palace or in a New York lobster house.
 He is in a penitentiary. He is in the prison at Raiford. Fla. where the state keeps it's convicts on a farm and works them outdoors. This contented prisoner is convict. He is a negro who is not worried by his lack of social equality with the white convicts and who is we'll fed, has a good bed and light work. He wants nothing more
 This negro has been in the prison 40 years. according to reliable authority. though he was originally sent up to serve a term Of just IS months. But he liked the prison so well that when the time came for his discharge he refused to leave the place and has been there ever since.
 Does this strange instance of con- tented convict mean that the prison is so well conducted or that the convict himself is utterly lacking in ambition |? Draw your own conclusions. There is propably a good deal of both in the conditions. The negro is lacking in ambition; most negroes are that, but he is also well provided for. | The Florida prison is well conducted

Views on Bonus Issue

Announcement was made yesterday
that former Governor William Runyon,
of New Jersey, now president of the
Stass Senate, had indorsed the bonus
plan offered by blyman c. Ray
mond Lyons, Of New Brunswick, pro-
viding for land grants and long term
loans
A vigorous protest was made at the
same time against the awarding of
cash bonus, in letter from Frederic
Bigelow, vice commander of the Legion
in Newark, to State Senator Charles
Pilgrim and Assemblyman Hugh c..
Barrett, Of Essex County. In his let
ter the Legionnaire said, in part:
II have yet to meet an intelligent
and patriotic eXservice man who is IN
favor Of q bonus. Personally ! con-

to lay this bonus purse of debt or
taxation on the State Of New Jersey in

only be temporary and trivial relief
to the needy soldier, which in the end
must be replaced by a lasting burden
OF increased living costs and the loss
OF his pride IN true sacrificing service

Formation of Fraternity
Post by Masons Marks
New Chapter in Legion
History Full of Promise
Bradford Butler, Former
Major, Has Called the
First Meeting OH Janu.
ary 27 in Kismet Temple

Fraternity Post, a new chapter of the
American Legion, composed exclusively
of Master Masons who served in the
World War, has been organized by Brad
ford Butler, formerly major and Judge
advocate OF the Rainbow Division, with
Major General Leonard Wood and Lieu
tenant General Robert L. Bullard as
honorary presidents.
The first meeting Of this post. which
already has enrolled several hundred
members and promises to be one Of the
most influential in the Legion, will he
held in Kismet Temple, Herkmer
Street and Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn,
the night of January 81. Generals
Wood and Bullard both will be speak
ers, and they are expected at that
time to make a vigorous defense of
the Masonic orders attitude during
the war. Officers also will be installed
at this meeting.
Mr.. Butler, the president of the post,
was virtually governor of the civil
population in the occupied territory in
the province Of Ahrweler, Germany,
after the war. He is thirty-third
degree Mason. The only qualification
= cessary to join Fraternity Post is
that the applicant be a Mason and
served in the war
Nearly al the masters of Masonic
lodges in New York will attend the
meeting at Kismet Temple and many
Grand Lodge officers have promised to
be there.
The plans of the post were presented
early to the Grand Master of Masons
CT the State Of New York, Most Wor-
shipful William S. Farmer. and re-
ceived his unqualified and emphatic ap-
proval and his generous assistance and
L,+ i j
ters of many subordinate lodges, which
have made possible a success for Fra
ternity Post beyond the most optimistic
dreams of it's organizer As a result
its present enrolment shows names Of
men residing as far west as San Fran
cisco and as far south as Texas. while
hardly military post or naval vessel
in any part of the world over.which the
Stars and Stripes fly does not contain
one or more members Of the post. By
an unwritten law of the organization,
when the president is a military man
the first vice president must be from
the navy, and vice versa. Meetings
are to be held monthly in kismet
Temple
The musical numbers Of the pro
gram on January q will be given by
the Kismet Temple Band. The pres
cntation Of the colors Will be an inter
csting ceremony and some entirely
novel features will come as surprises
TO which the ladies attending will con-
tribute an unexpected part. Social
festivities are to distinguish the con-
duct of this post and it viii play an
important part in the social life of
Brooklyn. Major Butler, in addition
to his notable position as a foremost
Mason, is a corporation lawyer and
we'll known in Brooklyn society.

Serum May Save
Two Who PartOOk
OF Deadly Olives
Lena and Joseph Delbene,
Only Survivors of House
hold of 8, Reported by
Doctors as Out of Danger

The anti-botulism serum which was
received at Fordham Hospital Saturday
night too late to save Angelo and
Dominick Delbene, victims of infected
ripe olives, was administered yesterday
to their niece and nephew, Lena Del
bene. nine years old, and Joseph De.-
bene. eight. They are the only surv-
vors Of a household Of eight at 1928
Hughes Avenue. the Bronx, whose
members began week ago to nibble
at the contents of a bottle Of ripe
olives.
Lena ate only one olive and the
symptoms in her case are aar less
alarming than in those which have
will save her. Joseph was taken to
st. Mary's Free Hospital for Children,
on West Thirtyfourth Street, Friday,
when he showed evidence Of extreme
drowsiness, indicating he hei partaken
of the fruit. He appeared quite nor
NAL yesterday.
Analysis of olives remaining in the
bottle showed the presence of the
botulini baccil in great numbers.
Dr. Cisco, of the Harvard Medical
School, an assistant of DR.. n. j. Ro-
sen, who has been doing research work
on botulism and who is one of those
SAID to have discovered the serum for
its cure, was in New York Yesterday
making an investigation of the cases
which caused the deaths in the Del
bene family He said that death is not
due TO poisoning, but to q disease some
what similar to tetanus, but more
virulcnt.
The germ which causes the maladv,
he continued, is an anorbatc bacteria
and belongs to that family of bacilli
which can live sealed from exposure
to the air and which, when introduced
INTO the human body, propagates so
rapidly that one bacteria will produce
several millions in few hours.
The disease was recorded first in
"'lhcl lmshaven. Germany, when it
caused the deaths of thirty-seven per-
sons who had eaten sausage. The namc
"botulism' is derived from the Latin
word FOR sausage, botulus. The baci lus
botulini was isolated first by Belgian
chemist, Professor van Ermengen, and

The products which have caused
potulism in the various instances Of
the disease which have been noted
throughout the country have, in nearly
every case, been traced to California.
whence came the olives eaten by the
Delbcne amily.
II is believed that the germs are car
ried by certain spiders which exist in
the gardens Of that state and arc de-
