1t was after this sermon, most Of
which was delivered while standing
on the front pew, that Mr.. Kopfman
told newspaper men he>was going to
the Crossing. He was jocular on the
mile trip from his church to the wat
ering place on the Delaware, and
seemed genuinely astonished when he
found himself held up.
"Get out and make good what you've
said!" shouted the young men. 'SYou
have insulted our sisters. Now, if
you're not a yellow dog, step out Of
the car and face us!''
Beads of sweat trickled down the
minister's face.
Come on out, you notoriety seek

The minister arose, and, sticking
his head out the side of the automo-
bile, addressed the women:

he said, there is to be public hear

used the young women.
Some one reached into the ear and
struck the clergyman blow under
the right eye. Then some of the men
and women produced several pack
ages of overripe tomatoes.
The first tomato, tossed by a gold
en- haired young woman, caught the
minister flush on the face. The toma-
to burst with juicy "plunk," and it's
remains dripped down Mr. Kopfman's
face and over his collar and clothes
Other tomatoes, of course, follows d,
and as each of the missiles found its
mark, the crowd howled in derision
A broad-shouldered young giant
leaped into the automobile and tore
off the parsons collar. He said that
the collar, before the close of the dav,
would be nailed to the public bulletin
board at the entrance to the town, on
which, for the last two weeks, the fol-
lowing inscription, in red paint, has
met the gaze of passersby:

LAUGHTER. OF CHILD
4 SCARCE IN POLAND

ain all the time was in Poland, l
scarcely once saw a child laugh"
declared DR. Harry Plotz, discoverer of
the typhus bacillus, in a report to
the European Relief Council on med
zeal conditions among the Jewish popu
lation of Poland, based on. his recent
Investigations there for the Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee.
THE most deplorable sight Of all
the miseries in Poland Is the condi-
tion of the children" DR.. Plotz said
'1nfant mortality is exceedingly high
because Of under-nourishment and the
high percentage of contagious diseases
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
] saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to go, begging for bread"
81 tuberculosis has become prevalent,
among the Jewish children largely
due to the overcrowded conditions in
(which they are forced TO live, their
lack Of nourishing food and warm
ssclothlng, according to DR.. Plotz.
Typhus, which killed thousands of
Jews last winter in the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen will recur again,
he said, as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
"Favus, a contagious skin disease,
ID now rapidly spreading from child
to child" he continued. 'Tn wilma
there are IL 900 cases among the jew
ish children alone. Smallpox, too, is
prevalent throughout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature,
have been seen running about the
streets. There are thousands of cases
every year, which vaccination would
prevent, but there is no vaccine
DR.. Plotz told how In Lithuanian
villages he found children, six and
sseven years old, unable to walk or
talk, the result of malnutrition. In
regions where whole towns had been
destroyed during the war, he found
families crowded in miserable dug
outs.

mob of bathers, and received a black
ened eye as the result of his expert
ence, but denies that he has been in
undated by the assault upon him.
The manhandling of the preacher
followed az series of attacks by him
from his pulpit upon members of the
summer colony at the Crossing,
known locally as bungaleers, whom he
accused of wearing immodest cos
tunes. A particularly violent attack of
this character was made by him just
before the visit to the beach which re-
suited in the mob's assault upon him.

 Five wounds were inflicted by the assailant. all in the stomach. one cut into the liver. A large bladed pocket knife was used. it is believed. Physi- clans hold little hope for POteete's re- covery.
 The trouble started in the dance hall. witnesses said. over a woman. Yescas was employed as a musician at the hall and when Poteete started dancing with a friend of the former, Yescas left his instrument.
 The two argued for a while on the dance floor. They finally worked their way outside and there. in a dark spot, Yescas is alleged to have slashed Po- teete. Friends of the two were arrayed in a free -all, witnesses said, but when Poteete sank to the ground from loss of blood the attacking party took flight.

FARMERS OF COUNTY URGED ID EXHIBIT

If Maricopa county is to make any kind of showing at all in the agricul- tural exhibits at the state fair this year. according to =. F. Fauley, fair commissioner. farmers must come for ward at once with their products for exhibit Coconino and Yavapai coun- ties. he said. are going to come out strong with large exhibits and are al ready planning on taking home the prizes. This honor, he says, belongs to Maricopa. the largest county from the standpoint of cultivation, but un- less the farmers enter their exhibits the prizes will go sewhere.
 Farmers are urged to enter their fruits. vegetables and grains. The commission, Mir. Fauley said. wants anything in the way of agricultural products. whether it is first class or not. The more stuff the. commission has on hand the better the general county exhibit will be. Pumpkins, potatoes. fruits of all kinds. grains and all other products are wanted. AL

MERCER

Both output and sales have been greater dur ing the last four months than at any other equivalent period in the history of the Loco mobile and Mercer Companies but improve ments in both products, plus increasing costs of labor and materials have more than kept pace with increased production, and except for the obvious duty of collaboration among manufacturers to restore the morale of busi- ness, even at considerable temporary sacrifice, there would be no justification whatever for a price reduction at this time.
 Nevertheless, we convinced that such procedure is today both sound and constructive that the greatest ultimate profit Is to be earned by taking present loss-and 1t is our earnest hope that before the period expires within which, under existing conditions we can afford to maintain the revised price list, our business will have expanded enough and our costs will have dropped enough to warrant our making the new prices permanent.
 If not, we shall have no recourse but to re- wise again-and this time upwards.
 Because of the element of uncer- tainty which obscures this point we are for the present accepting orders for delivery at the new scale until January 1st only.

DRICES are coming down because \ they must-not because costs have lowered, but because business in this country cannot resume its nor mai volume and confidence until the adequate buying power of the dollar has been restored.
 This is not palatable doctrine to manu- lecturers who, like ourselves, are actually facing higher costs today than six months ago; but it is the irresistible logic of the situation, and only as it is generally faced and courageously met will the restoration of the economic equilibrium be~hastened.
 When Hares Motors undertook the oper-. ation of the companies under its control 1t was fully expected-as we took much pains at the time to make the public aware-that their increased production under the direc- tion of our able engineering staff would eventually reduce costs regardless of the general price trend, but it was not expected that our operations would by this time have reached that stage and, as a matter of fact, they have not.
