woman hood needs TO remember that
part OF its God-given heritage is
that delicacy OF nature which Is
blemished by anything coarse and
underlined. Let IL be a day in which
we determine TO let no social Gus
tom creep into the life OF American
womanhood which shall deprive 1t
OF its beauty and delicacy. Let not
womanhood's birthright OF delicate
beauty be sold for a mess OF pottage
of equality with manhood in social

CONTINUED From First Page.)
horse race gambling is being con-
Quoted openly IN the city.
The directors asked the question
IL they had power to call witnesses
and IL they could punish those who
failed to answer such summons.
superintendent Black explained
that the directors could enlist the
aid OF the attorney general or the
city solicitor in securing such evil
dence from witnesses called by those
officials at the request of the direc-
tors
S. X. Smith, president OF the di-
rectors, contended that the news
paper articles were in a measure
true He said that horse race bet
ting was popular among many wo-
men in the city.
1t was pointed out that the State
or police could not stop any betting
on horses done over telephone or
telegraph wires and that this was
the method OF placing such bets al
this time.
The Directors took no action on
the suggestion made by Superintend-
ent Black that an investigation be
made of the reports that gambling is
openly done here with police pro-
lection.
During discussion OF other sub
jects by the directors a city official
who was present suggested that the
directors take some step TO uncover
the alleged gambling dens here re-
ferred to in the past few weeks by a
local newspaper. The directors took
no action, however.
