ORDINANCE UPHELD
Lower Court Reversed In Verdict on l Social Disease Ordinance

Certificate reversing the decision of -he lower court in the case of pr. J. D. Dow ling against Dora Glass, in which the right of the city health authorities 10 confine and examine women suspected of being infected with social diseases was involved, was received by the clerk of the criminal court yesterday. This de- cision was handed down by the Alabama court of appeals.
 In it's certificate, the appellate court refers to it's decision recently reversing similar case against Gladys Hardin, in which it was held that the ordinance of the city providing for the segregation of suspected women in a detention hospi- tai was valid. The same grounds is as- signed in the Glass case as were assigned in the Hardin case.
 These women. following their arrest and detention by city officials under this ordinance, instituted habeas corpus pro- ceedings for their release on the grounds that their arrest and detention without trial on any criminal offense was in vio- lation of their constitutional rights. They were ordered discharged by the court, the city appealing from that decision.

FIND SECRET or FINE TONE
Ohio Man Discovers That Yolks OF
Eggs and 6eeswax Were USED
In Filler Of Viollns.

II. C. Holcomb. musical instrument
maker of Norwalk, o., believes he Is
making rapid advances In his efforts
to discover the secret Of the fine mel
low tone Of the Cremona violins.
Musicians for years have wondered
why many old italian violins appar-
emily made In slipshOd manner
should produce such clear sounds, says
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Holcomb believes that the lost Sc
cret had to do mainly with the filler
and varnish. Not long ago he was In
formed that a careful chemical anal
ysis had been made Of some Of the
finish on an old violin owned In Bat
tie Creek. Mich.
This examination disclosed the fact
that before the varnish was applied
the wood was filed evidently with the
yolk of an egg and beeswax. Profit
ing by this information, Holcomb
rubbed these substances into the raw
wood Of a new violin before applying
the varnish. The results were sur
prisIng, the instrument producing a
tone that Is usually associated with
age.
