LAW OBSERVANCE
GATHERING TODAY
Effort Being Made to Stop
FIoggings in Southern
Sections Now.

q BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept, IL.
Organizers Of the law observance
and enforcement league today
were busy soliciting members
among prominent citizens III an
effort to suppress crime, mob vio-
lence, and especially floggings, in
this vicinity. With the business
closed fer the event, speakers at a
mass meeting yesterday warned
that the nation faces conditions
similar to those in Russia and
Turkey, unless mob violence can
be suppressed and cited the scores
of fioggings in the Birmingham
district in the past eight months.
The guilty parties in all cases
have escaped the hands of the law,
It was said.
c. P. Beddow attorney, the
principal speaker at the mass
meeting read an anonymous letter
he declared he had received.
1--WE hope you will bride your
tongue and say nothing against
what you know to be necessary to
maintain white supremacy In our
southland"
(signed) "Mr, Blank"
"If you mean by white supre-
macy that negroes should be per-
secuted" Mr.. Beddow declared,
':you are barking up the wrong
tree. l believe the negro should
have equal justice tofore the law.
I don't believe in imposing a
heavy penalty on a negro, for
shooting craps and freeing the
white murderer"
This statement was met with an
outburst Of applause. Local law
enforcement officers were praised
by the speakers, but it was declar-
ed that their numbers were, too
few to meet the present needs.

"A PAIR OF JACKS
NOW All. BLUE RIDGE

a pair of Jacks" which Is now
being shown at the Blue Ridge
theater, is really a pair Of Jacks
and queen, for the Parker Of the
trio happens to be a woman.
A Pair Of Jacks" concerns a
dXer, a mixer and a mixer. II is
not u case Of two OF a kind, but 1t
is winning hand OF fun. The
tixer Is Hal Newport, the mixer
Cliff Stirk and the mixer Miss Sue
Parker.
The skit was written by Paul
Gerard Smith, a young author
from the West, who has an excess
supplyot new ideas and the abil-
lily to write them effectively. A
Smith skit is a good skit.
Other features OF the Blue
Ridge program for the remainder
of the week are Jarrow, the hum
orlst tfickster. Miss Dong Fung
Cue, a little Chinese actress and
Dashington's logs and cats.
Although the lemon Is citric
fruit, in the hands Of Jarrow, the
famous trickster, 1t becomes the
most acceptable fruit imaginable.
He is one Of the cleyerest prestidi-
gators in the field and demon
strates that optics are sluggish
and bungling compared to the
mobility of his fingers and hands,
Jarrow is positively the origin
ator OF the lemon trick and al
though many illusIonists have at
tempted 1t he is still the only one
to really accomplish 1t.
Miss Cue, whose home is In
Canton, China, has been In Amer
lea long enough to become very
sophisticated in Occidental ways
and In this fact lies her chief
charm. This pert, Acknowledged
person Is as changeable as the
wind and as versatile as can be.
She sings and plays both. Chinese
and American Instruments Her
diction and enunciation Of English
Is perfect and she speaks French
In addition to her own Chinese,
and then in an exceedingly fetch
ing manner, talks pigeon English.
Little Miss Cue Is a monologlst
and when she Is not initiating or
playing she tells humorous stories
about her own people.
The lion and the lamb are no
more natural enemies than the
dog and the cat, but Just as the
lion and the lamb lie down togeth-
er so do cats and dogs occasionally
get along in perfect harmony.
This is the case OF Dashington's
dogs and cats. These animals are
on the best Of terms and not only
do they like each other, but they
work together. 1t Is a fine example
OF animal training accomplished
by kindness.
The first thing pashington at
tempted to do was to install CON
fidence into his charges. He taught
them to like him and to like each
other. Then he taught them to do
stunts. The result is unusually and
highly entertaining,

The Reverend Mr.. Ware quotes
the Rev. Arthur CilppInger Of
Dayton, Ohio bishop Of the Cen
tfal District, as saying:
1.-THE destiny Of your child and
mine, and more still the destiny Of
church and state rests with you
and me. more and more am
Convinced that the safety of the
nation and the safety Of our chill
i dren and the preservation Of the
lshurch, rests with christian educR-
zion and our christian colleges.
tegTwo. great gifts have Just been
laid upon the affairs of the denom-
iiation and the christian college,

Virginia, refusing to permit his name
20 be mentioned as department COM
nandee in the election by the state
convention. His letter follows:
THE department commander should
1evote his principal time to the Legion
Its work, its growth, its welfare
should command his mind, his heart
and soul, and should always be upper
most in his daily life. The position of
department commander is a very high
office and 1t is worthy of the very best
men In the Legion. 1t is a man-size Job,
requiring the very. best efforts and the
hardest work to handle II with the.
greatest success.
Given a commander who would
practically surrender himself to the
Legion, and who could make its prog
'ess and success his chief aim and
objective during his term of office, we
would see this Legion of ours expand
and grow in membership, influence and
healthy activity almost beyond con-
ceptiOn. l am of the sincere convic-
ton that If the Legion called a man to
serve as leader-asking him to give
practically his whole time and provid-
Ing for his suppOrt-he would, II OF
proper caliber, consider that call as
leading him to Il wonderful service,
just as serious. as noble and as patrl-
otto as that which brought him into
uniform against the enemy"
The question is one which has been
much discussed over all the country
by LegiOnnaires, and probably will
come before the national convention at
New Orleans.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, 6 physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Ancient Costumes in Greenland

Mems costumes Of the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth centuries have been
found in Greenland. They are In an
excellent state of preservation and re-
semble the clothes worn by Dante in
the published pictures Of the Italian
poet. They are not yet open to public
view, but may be exhibited at some
future date.
These interesting finds were made
by DR.. Noerlund, Danish scientist,
while excavatlng in ancient burial
grounds in the southwestern part Of
Greenland. They are the only existing
specimens in the world of garments
worn by men in the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth centuries. Being deposited
In the frozen earth for about 600 years
has preserved them from destruction
by moth and age.
