Sim Feiners Employ Guerrilla Meth
DDS in Battle With British Troops.
May Bar Archbishop Mannix.
Cork, July 20-Two military lorries,
loaded with soldiers, which passed
through the streets of Cork were at
tackled by civilians with bombs, and
blown up:
Between sixty and seventy soldiers
were injured. The civilians threw
tWenty-nine bombs.
This attack followed night of ter
ror, into which the city was plunged
as a result of street fighting in which
Sim Femers and the military partici-
pated Two men were killed and
about forty were wounded in the gun
fighting, which brought the total of
casualties well over the 100 mark.
The Sim Feiners used the guerrilla
tactics which had been outlined in the
plan of campaign of the Republican
army.
The fighting broke out after a bay
Onetting incident in the street in
which a former soldier was killed.
About ten P. NJ. indfscriminate firing
started in virtually all sections of the
city. The casualties reported were
one dead and fourteen wounded.
The firing, which was participated
N, it is stated, by military patrols in
motor lorries and armored cars, caus-
ed CONSERVATION Frightened women
and children hurried into side streets
and doorways and knocked frantically
at numerous houses for admission
Volunteer patrols hurried to their as
SiStance. but several young girls and
former soldiers already had been hit
by flying bullets and were taken to
the hospital
The rush of civilians from the prin-
cipaI streets was followed by the vol
unteers, who warned the people to
lie down while the volunteer.E"
watched the movements of theee--dlor-
ed cars.
Most of the casualties occurred in
the northern part of the city, where
the infirmary staff dealt with the more
serious cases, retaining the worst and
sending the other wounded home after
giving them treatment. After mid
night the streets were comparatively
quiet, with the military patrolling
them. There was occasional firing,
however, the patrols once in a while
letting go a volley.

SUES GIRL WHO QUIT JOB
Employer Alleges $255 Damages sus
tanned by Remaining in Office.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 20.-Annoyed
because Miss Ruth Porter Hopkins,
his stenographer, quit her position
without giving notice, Attorney Will
liam X. Johnson stopped payment on
a check of $44 given her in payment
of wages and entered suit against the
young woman for $3.50, the amount
he claims to have lost when compelled
to remain at his Office until he could
engage another typist.
The mix-up, believed to be the first
of its kind in Pennsylvania, has re-
suited in counter-suits between the
aggrieved attorney and his pretty
young stenOgrapher.
Johnson alleges that he had a YER
bal contract with Miss Hopkins to the
effect that should either of them de-
eide to conclude their business rela-
tions, two weeks notice should be
given, but when he went to his office
on July 6, he found a note from Miss
Hopkins announcing that she had re-

Beauty In Old Age

You often see beautiful old lady
and she seems to be as happy as she
is beautiful for beauty and happi-
ness depend largely upon good
health. Indigestion or constipation
are to a great extent responsible
when old age lacks beauty and
happiness. This can often be remedi-
ed by taking Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the digestion, in
vigorate the liver and move the
bowels. This makes you feel better
and look better. Try it. They on

Why Export Coal?

Many coal men say that the shortage of
coal and the high prices charged are due main
ly to the expectation OF coal in vast quantities.
The lack Of cars has been serious, holding
mines in many coal fields down to about half
capacity. when they ought to be doing their
best but, somehow there have been enough
cars to load dozens and dozens of ships, with
coal for Europe. Formerly this country ex-
ported hardly any coal. The big export move
ment this year has taken both coal and cars,
and thus doubly hindered the supply of the
domestic market
Moreover, the high prices paid abroad have
played havoc with prices here at home When
coal for export brings $50 to SIS ton, domes-
tic users who can get fuel at all, are obliged to
go a long way toward meeting those prices.
The exported quantity may be small compared
with the big total sold at home, but in such
cases the tail has a way of wagging the dog
Why sell that coal abroad before the wants
Of American consumers are supplied, and why
permit European bids to fix the price of so
vital commodity when it can be sold far
more cheaply in this country and yet pay oper-
ators and dealers fair profit?
Why not an embargo on coal exports for
two or three months at least!

The Wizard Of Finance.

The country is amazed, and amused, at the
story OF Charles Ponz Boston money wizard,
who reached out and took-so he says
$8500.000 from somebody for his own pocket in
eight months, to say nothing of the money he
made for investors"
First Of all, you have to admire Ponzi for
his cieverness. He bought foreign money at
tremendous discounts and had it sent back to
America in money-orders or International Re-
ply coupons, which he was able to cash in az
par. He turned to his own advantage the fail
ure Of the various governments to Re"r ~ 30 in
the money order regulations with 2
ments of exchange.
His game was shrewd, but when you have
said that, you have said about all there is to
be said for Charles Ponzi.
Rockefeller amassed millions-but he pre-
duced OIL Carnegie amassed millions and
turned out mountains of steel. The list is long
Ponzi amassed millions and produced moth
ing. He did let handful of people in on his
get-rich-quick scheme, but aside from these
investors and his own shrewd self, he has
done the world no good.
And some ebt-burdened country or coun-
tries have to foot the bill.

Jacqueline.

Jacqueline.
The most piquant name in the
lexicon of feminine appellatives is
Jacqueline. Her origin dates far
back in Biblical days when one of
the twin sons of Isaac and Rebecca
was called Jacob and the mother
predicted that he would supplant
the other. Thus his name came to
signify 1.-The supplanter," and JAG
queline, which is derived from this
source has the same significance.
As the derivatives of Jacob
spread throughout Europe, France
adopted jacques. The great church
of st. Jacques at Liege spread the
love of the name in Flanders and
it was when the English and French
were mingled together in the camps
Of the Black Prince and Henry V
