wishing to erect the building to
house the new tubercuIar school as
soon as possible. the District
Commissioners yesterday reported
favorably on the Phipps amend

right to erect the school on the
Upshur tract
At the same time they sent a let

tee. disaproving the Elkins bill in
troduced at the request of the Piney
Branch Citizens Association, and
providing that the new tubercular
school shall be located on other
land owned by the United States
government. The particular piece
Of land that the association had in
mind was the Fort Davis site. To-
Gated at the intersection Of Ala
bama and Pennsylvania avenues.
The act which appropriated $780,
600 for tubercular school was the
deficiency act approved June 10.
1921. This act did not authorize
purchase of land for the school and
so the Commissioners chose the
Cpshur tract location.

Captain Ceilings sailed the seas for
many years: then he sustained a bad
double rupture that soon forced him to
not only remain ashore, but kept him
bedridden for years. He tried doctor af-
ter doctor and truss after truss No re-
suits! Finally, he was assured that he
must either submit to a dangerous and
abhorrent operation or die. He did
neither, He cured himself instead.
Captain Ceilings made a study Of him
self. Of his condition-snd at last he
was rewarded BY the finding Of the
method that so quickly made him Q
well. strong. vigorous and happy man.
Anyone can use the same method; it's
simple. easy, safe and inexpensive.
Every ruptured person in the world
should have the Captain Ceilings book.
telling all about how ne cured himself.
and how anyone may follow the same
treatment In their own home without any
trouble. The book and medicine are

about the flappers. And the pecu-
liar thing about It all is that the
flappers slam" the flappers.i with
the result that flapper friendship
throughout the city Is lastly crum-
bling.
Finds Criticism Bitter.
Suppose you were a flapper with
the pretty name of Mary Jones. and
you went calling on some of your
friends.
The first thing you would see at
your friends homes would be a
slam" book. or course. you would
be interested in what your friends
think about you. Well. you quick
ly turn in your name. This Is what
you would see.
Mary Jones.
Nice girl. but no brains"
Thinks she can dance"
Poor fish"
Loves 'em all. but Is so silly she
can't hold 'em long
Right pretty, but she makes up
too much
That red hat she wears is a sight
and those worn sport shoes, but
why say more?"
"sInnss, to Get Even.
After reading these nice things
about yourself. you would naturally
want to get even. so you wet your
pencil and start "slamming" your
friends. OF course. you are pretty
angry, and you try to think of the
meanest things possible to write,
And you do.
Flappers all over the city read
one anotheTs slam" books. And
angry? Well. II is believed that
this will be the cause of a fiapper
war or the utter decentralization
of fiapperlsm.
Two fiappers attended the auto
mobile show last night at Conven-
tion Hall with the hope of buying
an automobile which has two side
pockets in the front seat.
Car Adapted TO slam Book.
After inspecting one automobile,
one of the girls turned to her friend
and said: Il think this one will be
all right. Helen. the pocket is just
right to carry slam book around
in"
Rudolph Jose. one Of the officials
of the show. asked one of the young
ladies what she meant by a slam
box.
"A slam book is just what IL
means-it slams" answered the
young f1apper.
And SO the happers bought the
car.
1t is well to note that the auto
mobile show with it's novel display
of snappy cars. large side pockets
included. may expedite the pending
fapper war. Fast cars to carry
slam" books to your friends. Why
not? The books will soon be full
providing all fappers buy cars.
