STORE VEGETABLES IN BOXES
Where Winters Are Mild, 6eets, Car rots, Turnips, Etc, May Be
 Placed In Barrel.

In sections where moderate winters prevail d box or barrel set below the surface of the ground and fitted with movable lid provides suitable stor- age for such vegetables as beetS. car rots, turnips, etc. This type of stor- age is adapted to sections where the bank ar pit is used, or to parts of the country where the ground does not freeze 10 a depth of more than few inches. Through the aid of such pro tretiNe coverings as leaves, straw or manure placed on the lid of the stor- age box, 1t is possible to protect the vegetables from any sudden extreme of temperature. On account of poor drainage some locations are not suited to these underground storage boxes. In any location care must be eXer- cised to select site where water will not accumulate in the box.
 This type of storage is much cleaner and more accessible than the ordinary bank or pit and in most cases its cost is very small. A number of these boxes can be provided so that part of the vegetables can be taken out without disturbing the remainder.

57,7S2 The death rate from tuber- culosis is 14.2Gs higher in the South than in the Nation as whole. One reason for the exceedingly high death rate in the South Is the great preva- lence of the plague among the negroes who are especially susceptible to tuber- culoSis, the death rate among them being three and one-half times that among the whites. But inasmuch as the negroes will doubtless continue to be intimately associated with the whites in domestic and other work in the future. the whites will never be safe from infection until the negroes. as we'll as the whites. have been freed from the plague.
 It has been estimated that the to- tai economic loss from the rayages of tuberculosis in the South is S175.. 000.000 year, and in projecting their warfare against the plague the Bap- lists hope to greatly reduce this loss, as we'll as to save the life and promote the health and general efficiency of the whole people.

Other Phases of Baptist Work.

In addition to the Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Southern Baptists have a string of seventeen regular hospitals In operation and seven others under course of construction. This hospital property is valued at approximately $7,000,000 and these institutions last year treated 46,000 patients many of them being charity cases. Southern Bap- lists also operate l9 orphanages in which approximately 5000 orphan boys and girls are cared for, educated and trained for Christian citizenship.

tracted tuberculosis, the sanatorium is carrying on an educational work that seeks to inform the public at large through the printed page, as to the danger of tuberculosis, how t can be avoided and how, once it is con- tracted, it's progress can be arrested through proper sanitary measures at home. Other phases of the educa- tional program include the training of workers inside the sanatorium and occupational and vocational work for patients. The extension department is widely disseminating literature on how to combat tuberculosis. An en- dowment fund that is being created for the institution will make possible a much larger circulation of literature and will also enable the institution to take care of indigent patients.
 The sanatorium is at present seek ing to devise special plans whereby 1t can serve the negroes of he South In combating tuberculosis It is felt that the negroes inability to help themselves in the matter entities them to this consideration and that this assistance should be given, further more. as a means of self-protection on the part Of the whites.

WHEN JOSEPH MEETS
 JOSEPH-THEY FIGHT
Battle is Staged in Hartford Avenue Saloon and Police Put on Finish
 ing Touches

Policemen John Kennedy and Michael Brophy were sent yesterday afternoon to a Hartford avenue cafe to break up fight in which Joseph Chapelle and Joseph Grisko were the participants. Both were arraigned be- fore Judge klett this morning. Grisko was fined s10 for drunkenness and $15 for breach of the peace Chapelle is out of work and has a family de- pending upon him for support. Be- cause of those conditions judgment in his case was suspended.
 Chapelle told the court that Grisko insisted upon being set up'' and when he was unable to do so. he was as- saulted. Grisko claims Chapelle want ed to lure him into a friendly game of poker and when he refused to play. he was assaulted. Grisko said he was drunk and Chapelle said he was not.

 But the movie tower wasn't the only aerial thing about the arena. First there was the tall one then there were airplanes.
 The first two planes appeared short ly before 10 o'clock. They circled at a good altitude, but did not pass di- rectly over the stadium.
 Those gathered at the ringsde could on the other hand have spent their time discussing the league of nations, or the high cost of living, but naturally they didn't.
 It was Dempsey the terrible and Carpenter the mysterious that they discussed. There was romance in that-the lure Of the unknown.
 Women Talk ''Looks',
 While the men confined themselves chiefly to such technical details as reach, muscle development, stamina and the thousand and one other in- gredients that go into the making of pugilist, the women contented themselves chiefly with an analysis of the boxers looks.
 The fighting jaw of the American which they had come to know in the movies apparently fascinated some; with others it was the smile of the flashing young French birdman that cast the spell.
 The five-dollar boys were preced- ed into the amphitheater by another white coated battalion of peanut and SOda-pOD vendors.
 Tex Eickard was on hand early When they wanted him they didn't send ushers hurdling themselves They .ust told the ampl1fier about it and Tex showed up.

STILLMAN'S MOTIVE
 IS TO DISOWN GUY
Said to Have Made Offer to
 Divorce Vile

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 2-Jamcs A. Stillman, former president of the National City bank, was willing that Anne Urquhart Stillman should get a divorce from him, and started his divorce action against her only be- cause he was advised by counsel that the legitimacy of Guy Sullman' youngest son of Mrs. Stillman, could be attacked in no other way.
 This was brought out at the hear ing before Referee Daniel J. Gleason here by questions asked MT. Stillman by Colonel William Rand of hls counsel, which Referee Gleason would not permit him to answer Al though the referees ruling prevented even the questions bein1 made part of the record, the series of questions indicated clearly that, as has alroad9 been stated by his counsel, MT Sllll- mans main motive in startlnS HIS .uit was to have Guy adJudgCd H. legitimate, and thus prevented rom sharing in the seven -mlh.> n-dollar trust fund established by tn" Will of the late James Stillman, fatnar ot James A. Sillman.
 Did you express yourself tt your wife's attorney before bringing l'ilS action as being entirely Willing thdt your wife should have divorce II she wanted one?" Colonel l'aha asked MT Stillman on the latter re- direct examination.
 Before the witness could answer John F. Brennan, chief counsel TOT Mrs. Stillman, interposed an opJec- tion. The question was ruled out by Referee Gleason.
 Did you then take legal adFlce ny vour own counsel that the question of the paternity of Guy Sullman could not be tried out in any acton brought against your" Colonel Rand continued.
 This question was also rulee out ny the referee, but Colonel Rand went on with another, in what was ap- parently a prearranged series.
 Did you because of that 'MI- Stillmans counsers adVice) therefore bring this action against MT. SIill- man and Guy?' he asked
 Referee Gleason again sustained MT. Brennan's objection and rulea out the question.
 It was explained later that thls line of questioning furnished another clear indication that Stillman ana ms attorney, like Mrs. Stllman ana her attorney, consider the legitimacy or Guy the principal issue in the case

AMERICAN TOURISTS
 ARE BEING FLEECED
Reports From Europe Show
 Excessive Charges

Paris, July 2.-The effect of the high cost of living in Paris upon tour lst trade, as indicated by the growing frequency of complaints of extortion by Americans visiting France, is oc- cupying the attention of the govern ment. The authorities hold that the tourists have the cure largely in their own hands; exaggerated prices being due in large part to indiscriminate spending by visitors, aided by the spendthrift tendency of French prof. teers
 It is admitted that abuses practiced in amusement resorts, where meals. wine and dancing are provided, have their effect upon prices in general but how to correct that evil without dis couraging the most profitable trade is a question.
 Under Secretary of State Paisant discussing the question with Amen- cans, proposes publicity as a remedy He has invited American visitors to join in a protest which will be pub lished in the Paris press, and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his at tention.
 The most frequent causes of com. plaint are charges for lodgings in ho- tels and apartments. MT. Paisant told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels to publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not, however. affect apartments, which are the subject of profiteering on a scale hitherto unknown.
 There are very few unfurnished apartments to let. according to the real estate agencies; as fast as vacat- ed by tenants they are transformed ino furnished apartments and either let at rentals of from 300 to 1000 per cent. higher than the average before the war for furnished apart ments of the same class, or rented at an increase of 200 to 300 per cent. above the average for unfurnished apartments, with the proviso that the tenant buy the furniture at excessive figures.

SWITZERLAND HAS

English and French Must B
 Used at Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland, July 2.-Obli satory use of two languages, FrencI and English, in all its transactions and the high cost of living at tn, Headquarters in Geneva are given b. the special committee investigatiuf the workings of the League of Ma. tons as an explanation of what has been considered in some quarters a: the excessive cost of the organization The expense for last year, as already reported, was about s4,1500,00O.A
 There can be no doubt" says the etetaoi etaoi hr IdsldhrrsIhd committees report, that, rightly oI wrongly, the League of Nations Ina. he reputation of costing too much" The report then goes on to explair how he complexity, diversity and nov city Of the work undertaken neces sarily costs heavily, particularly since 1t is in the hands of a comparatively young institution that lacks exper. fence.
 The dual language of the league re. quiring translation and duplicate pub- licaton of all documents alone ac counts for one-third of the entire ex pense, the report says, then points ouf | hat the location of the headquarter; or the League in Geneva accounts for a good deal of he excessive outlay Since the main purpose of the commission of Inquiry is to suggest every form of economy. the reporl says, 'it feels bound to point out that, at the moment, Geneva iS-and so far as 1t is possible to foresee will re- maln-a city in which the cost of liv- ing Is comparatively higher than in almost any city in Europe, and where the rate of exchange is, at the mo- ment of writing, the most disadvan- taseous for the great majority of states embers of the League"
 The report suggests that were the League Headquarters located at Brus- sels, Fontainbleau, Turin or Vienna or almost anywhere else, an immedi- ate economy would be effected thai would be appreciated by all members Of the League and particularly by those whose exchange is appreciated
