was asked how he had managed to
escape hanging. He yanked out this
amulet from his bosom and fourished
it in the air:
"Me Gamma de browne, ma go to de
jaila, ma go to da hella!"
At this season another supersti-
ton widely practiced among Jews in
Eastern Europe, deserves mention.
A piece of Abdomen is consid-
cred panacea against many
things, among which are theft
and soldering. Young men carry
around a piece of Abdomen in
the little pocket of their Arba Kan
10th. And because the Arba Kanfoth
happens to be a ritual garment their
wearers insist that they must wear
it even while being examined by the
physician, when they are supposed to
undress completely. The real droll-
ness of the situation comes in when
the non-Jewish recruits adapt the
method. They too put in piece of
Abdomen in their garments and in
sist upon wearing it at examination.
Now I am ready to close-but not
before l have impaired a secret OF
extraordinary value to those whose
cellars are beginning to show the
drought of year and half. 1t is
this: To conserve for a long time
your wines, whiskey, brandy, or
liquor in general, take a rope with
which man has hanged himself or
with which he has been hanged, peel
off a piece, make blight, put the
thing inside the bottle, but leave the
hole Of the blight outside, shake well,
blow on it, and put it away back in
your cellar. The stuff is sure to last
long time.

The Jew and
Public Opinion
Continued from Page 16.)

down it's throat the fiction that the
Jews of Germany were responsible
for all of Germany's sins in the re-
cent war; This, Germany believes, may
divert the wrath of the allied countries
from her to the Jewish population
within their respective borders, just
as the Russian Gar diverted the
wrath of his peasants from the heads
of his nobility to the heads of his
Jewish subjects by convincing the
ignorant peasants with blacklist lies
that the Jew was the cause of all
his miseries.
To this end Germany is calling to
the American public from the plat
form and thru the press to witness the
horrors that the Jew has ever COM
mitted against her, against America
and civilization in general. These
contemplate lies as silly as they may
seem must not be taken too lightly for
there are eager and ignorant minds
every where that are susceptible to
such propaganda. Whenever and
wherever such ridiculous matter gains
circulation the most rigid action must
be taken to check and counter it be-
cause the tender shoots of public
opinion unlike more beautiful growths
are attracted by darkness as we'll as
light.
Every false thought written or ut
tered by these propagandists no mat
ter how scandalously untrue, no mat
ter how obviously malicious and no
matter how disgracefully unchristian
must be refuted. The Anti-Defama-
ton League of the I. O. B. B. is a
force of inestimable value dedicated to
this very work.
1t must not be forgotten that any
Jew deporting himself in manner
the slightest bit improbable is leav-
ing an impression on the mind of
some we'll meaning non-Jew that may
some day come to the support of Jew
batting campaigners.
We must so order our lives that
when the time comes, if it does, when
It will be necessary to disabuse the
minds of the public from the effects
of vicious and criminal propaganda,
that the task will not be difficult

The Boom at

Friday Evening

The Boom OF the Canon City high

was a continual round of noise. excite
ment and pleasure.
The big noise started about Z
O'Clock and went strong for about four
hours. As the visitor entered the
door he was confronted with a table
where he could buy some tickets to
start with. Then the check room
took care of his hat, coat and other
superfiuous wraps, if he had any. Be-
fore he got a chance to get into any
of the shows he was presented with
copy of special edition of the ''Yel-
low Journal" containing all of the
Boom news and scandal.
on the first floor he could see the
baby show, the swimming match, the
cvlinic, have his picture drawn as he
really looked. take a chance on the
candy. hit the niger babies, try the
paddle wheel and rest in the tea
room.
In the basement was the chamber of
horrors, from which they carried la
dies out by the tens who had tainted
away from what they had seen. After
coming out, If his stomach was in
good condition. he could still eat.
There was a delightful cafeteria
where there was everything to tempt
the appetite.
Upstairs there was the famous mu-

CARGO court. where offenders against
the proprieties were arrested and
tried. ON the third floor there was a
smaller museum where the visitor
could take a ride in the latest model
airplane.
The vaudevils started their perfor.
nance at 9 O'Clock, and at s:45 the
hall was filled with an expectant aud
ience. The program fully redeemed
its anticipations. There were five
acts, including juggling, readings, pi-
ano solos, some duets, an Ethiopian
quartet and a one-act play, Shakes

As soon as the vaudeyils were over
everything started up again In full

have an opportunity to see everything

Jones Theatre
Installs New
Picture Screen

The management of the Jones the
ater has again made a decided i'm
provement in their theater by the ad-
dition of a new Velvet Gold Fiber
screen.
The Velvet Gold Fiber Screen is
so named because of its tendency to
bring out, in the picture projected
upon it, the soft, warm velvet tones
in the photography, and eliminate all
violent contrasts so displeasing to the
eye, so that, instead of the grays,
browns, blues and other dark colors
in the original scene being projected
as black (as they are upon the aver
age screen) they are reproduced in
exactly their natural color values
when projected on the Velvet Gold
Fiber. This projection advantage
eliminates all eye strain and there is
no dazzling and pain in the eyes from
watching picture that is projected
on the screen.
The Jones theater is always on the
advance and looking out for the inter
ests of their patrons. Whenever 1t
is possible for them to improve their
accommodations they do it.

Buffalo, N Y.-John M. Evans, who |
says he has had years of experience
in enforcing the prohibitory laws in
the state of Maine, stopped off In
Buffalo, says the Courier Of that
city, for few hours and related some
interesting methods Of conducting the
liquor business under strict enforce

Mr.. Evans told of many ways OF
handling "wet" goods used by boot
leggers," but not one of the hundreds
with whom he has come in contact
ever used bootleg as depository
for his stock in trade.
"While the name still sticks to in
dividuals who defy the liquor law out
side of regular saloons and kitchen
barrooms, the bootleg full Of booze
ceased to be when the high boots with
loose tops went out of style.

up to the time of the passage of
the Webb law by the federal govern
ment few years ago." Mr.. Evans
said, providing for the labelling Of
all wet goods handled by express
companies and other common carriers,
1t was a comparatively easy matter
to get plentiful supply Of liquor from
Boston wholesalers, and even after
that most of the bootleggers managed
to smuggle in by water or automobile,
and there were some who concocted
a mixture out Of alcohol, water, burnt
sugar and a dash of tabascO, which
they passed off on many an unsuspect'
ing victim.
"The hardest bird we ever had to
contend with was putting out booze
for years. We knew he was doing It
but we could not get the goods on him
and it was long time before we go
