 Friends Joked Him
 About six weeks ago a friend of mine smarted me up to the idea that the business of wearing a leather belt was bad-yery, very bad. He said that wearing belt meant that I was choking off my stomach from direct connection with the intestines and that the whole digestive appara- tus was going on the blink because of that
 That's why you are fat around the waist, Babe-thats why he told me. Now you go and toss that belt away and get yourself a pair of sus- penders. If you do you won't know yourself within a month
 He Ditches Belt
 And goshdarned' commented Mir Ruth, "if he wasn't about right. Whenever I look in the mirror now and take a squnt at my waistline I almost have to be introduced to my self. Ditching the belt did t.

!. LONELINESS OF LEPERS IS
 NOW RELIEVED BY WIRELESS

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. f- Cabfas Island, the home of Porto Rico's leper colony. after years Of dreary days and silent nights. can new listen to the voices of the world A radio receiving set has just been installed there. within d few days a loud-speaker will be al taehed, and thirty-six new radio fans will be enchanted with the marvels of science and-occasi0naly, Of course, disgusted with the perserse- ness of static. The radio set was made possible by an anonymous gift of S100 which came from New York, 10 which were added local contribu- tions
 Probably not since it's invention has the setting up of a radio set been watched by a more interested group of spectators than that which followed the movements of the Rev. Charles B. Bare and two employees of the Porto Rico Telephone Com pany as they installed the instru- ment. Not that there was much ami mated comment CT boisterous en- i thusiasm. Life on bare, shadeless reef on which the hot suns rays beat fiercely, and against which the surf pounds ceaselessly, is not con- duciye to an exhuberant display of feeling.
 When the loud speaker comes you will be able to hear concerts. music and singing in San Juan, i'll Havana and in the big cities of the United States they were told. There was chorus of "Magnifico" and que bueno," and one man remarked It was meant for such exiles as we are. For, near as they arc 10 San Juan, the lepers regard their isolation as exile. Some pobres desterradoes, eve are poor exiles'D they tell you. They com plain of the loneliness of their lives more than they do of the disease it. self. Even the prospect of hearing nightly the strains of famous ore7les- tras and the words of eloquent speakers does not reconcile them to i their lot
 They hate the glaring sunlight. Tor 1t pains their eyes. They nate the salt and misty night airs. for they aggravate their sufferings. They hate the dreary darkness of a night relieved by nothing but little oil lamps Help to get Us away from here, they urge the visitor.
 The radio concerts will be heard in the club house of the Philantrcpif Society of Cabras Island. The cluf house is rather meagerly furnished a broken victrola, a rather unsteady table, and some benches and chairs Superintendent Rubin has promise 10 see that everyone has a seat and so on nights when Pittsburgh and Havana speak out clear ant bold the exiles of Cabras will b,

 OIL DRILLING SUCCESSES

LONDON, Aug. 31-The success of recent oil-drilling operations in the northern counties. of England and in Scotland have led to new drilling operations on larger scale.

PUBLIC PLEASED WITH VIOLA DANA

When an audience of picturegoers becomes thoroughly engrossed with the action of the screen, so absorbed that everything else is as nothing, and when as one person it breaks forth into applause-then, you can say that there's something excep- tional about the picture.
 That's just what can be said about "Life's Darn Funny" the Dallas M. Fitzgerald production for Metro, which had it's first showing yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre. and which proved as entertaining and exciting pie ture as has been seen in this city in long time.
 Two things contributed to this. The most important was the scintillating, dashing performance given by Viola Dana as Zoe Robert, the struggling little violinist, whose plans of storm ing the artistic world repeatedly go wrong.

 To the allegation that the city was without power to provide for the levy of a tax to meet the in terest on the bond issue, and no authority to provide for a sinking fund, tho Court held that the Act of Congress authorizing the issuance and sale of the bonds did not have to include such authority specific ally, that the authority to issue and sell the bonds carried with it the Implied power to levy the necessary taxes for interest and to provide a sinking fund for their retirement on maturity.

FIRST STEP IN BOND CASE WON
 BY PETERSBURG
Judge Reed Holds no Ground for Enjoiining Town from
 Issuing Bonds.

Judge T. N. Reed yesterday ruled that the town of Petersburg is with in its rights in providing for the issuance, sale, maturity and redemp- ton of municipal electric light and power bonds and, by susssining a demurrer filed by Henry Roden as counsel for that community. dismiss ed the action brought by Paul Lund in the local U. s. Disrtict Court in which it was sought to enjoin the town from is3uing the bonds. Papers in an appeal are being perfected by II. l.. Faulkner, attorney for MT Lund, and tho action will be carried to the U. s. Circuit Court of Ap- peals.
 The suit, which was started on August 1th, last, is friendly one, instituted on the ad's.e of MT. Roden to the City Council of Peters burg in order to clear away certain technical points now holding mp the issuance of the bonds, the proceeds of which arc to be used to construct a municipal lighting and power plant without the corporate limits of the town. The bonds were placed with a Seattle firm last Spring by MT. Roden but negotiations were halted pending final settlement of the questions inyovled.
 Four Main Grounds. 7i
 Four main causes of action were set up by MT. Faulkner in his com plaint filed for MT. Lund.
 1. That the corporation has no authority to acquire property out side of the corporate limits of the town for it's proposed electric light and power plant;
 2. That 1t is not authorized CT empowered by it's charter, or other wise. to sell or dispose of the elec- tric power generated by it's pre- posed plant to private parties for use outside of it's corporate limits;
 8. That the town authorities have no power or authority under the Act of Congress to provide for the levy of tax to meet the interest on said bonds as this interest may accrue, or to provide for a sinking fund for the settlement of the prin- cipal of the bonds at their matur ity-
 (a) Because the act authorizing does not so specifically provide;
 (b) Because such tax will result in levy in excess of the two per cent on the assessed value of the taxable property as limited by the Organic Act of the Territory;
 (c) Because the obligation to levy a tax and provide sinking fund will cause the town to exceed it's statutory limit of indebtedness; and
 4. That the Town Council is without authority to bind itself to redeem any of the bonds before the

Upholds General Demurrer.

Upholds General Demurrer.
 MT. Roden filed general demur- rer to the complaint.
 In his opinion sustaining the de- murrer and denying the injunction sought, Judge Reed gave a memor- aadum opinion covering each Of the points raised Considering the first cause,'' he said, "in my opin- ion, that authority of the municipal ity to acquire property outside of the corporate limits of the town for municipal purposes is implied in the general power granted 1t. If such were not the case, he continued, the question is settled "by positive sta tutory enactment" He cited Chap ter 50, Session Laws, 1919, and Section Is. Chapter 97. Session Laws, 1923, in this connection. This set ties the question as to the authority of the city to purchase and hold real estate for municipal purposes outside of it's corporate limits; and the complaint of the plaintiff on that ground is without foundation, , he declared.
 He likewise held that the second cause was without foundation, say ing: What future common councils may do in this regard is not within the power of the plaintiff to state; nor can the terms of any contract which the authorities of the town may enter into be set forth by him as a ground for enjoining the sale of the bonds; therefore, a discus sion on this point is purely acad-

Tex Limitation Set Asiie.

The Court, while viewing the con- tention that the sale of the bonds would put upon Petersburg an in- debtedness in excess of that author ized by general law. or would neees- sitate levying taxes in excess of the two per cent maximum fixed by the Organic Act, as the most serious question raised, held il to be with out force It held that the special bonding Act set aside the general clause in the Organic Act, saying

 contract included the power to
