gratified at the success of its efforts to
present opportunity to the public to
hear speakers of authority on health

pointed out, the idea that the function
of the physician Is to treat disease is
SO firmly rooted that his other, and
equally important, duty. that of pre-
venting disease, is overlooked.
The fourth lecture of the series. which
is arranged for alternate Sundays, is
scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Feb
ruary 25. when DR.. Valeria H. Parker OF
New York will be the speaker, her
topic being 1.-The Social Hygiene Pro-

Justice Hoehling of the District
Supreme Court yesterday overruled
a demurrer Of Henry c. Wallace. Sec
retary of Agriculture. to a suit to re-
cover S15,0 900 damages brought against
him by Alexander Schaper, mer-
chant in Center market for alleged
libel. Mr.. Wallace asked the dismissal
of the suit because of the immunity
he claimed as Secretary and that the
action complained of was in his Off
cial capacity.
The court pointed out that the
declaration charged the libel by
Henry c. Wallace individually and
made no reference to his official posi-
ton. Mr.. Wallace was directed to
plead to the declaration.
His counsel will again raise the
question of privilege when the plea
is filed.

score with another one pointer and a
little later scored the locals first
field goal on pretty cutin shot. From
this point on it was all Amboy.
The first period ended 21-9.
In the first half, Thomas made a
field goal and six successive shots

backfield.
During the last session, Amboy
was outscored eighteen to ten. South
Philadelphia made five field goals,
three by Captain Passon, while the
local passers only garnered three
double deckers, two by Captain
Thomas. The locals parted the
shreds for four fouls in the last
twenty minutes, missing seven
chances. and the opposition register
ed eight out of seventeen tries.
The visitors exhibited flashes of
their sensational work several times
during this tilt, the Hebrew Club
representatives being exceptionally
good under the basket in follov-ing
a shot. Once during the second per-
iod after one player missed a shot,
a second man tapped the ball
through the net. This was tried
times but was only sue
cessful once. There was little real
passing by either team in Saturdays
engagement, but Philadelphia's rep
representatives tiled manv long ones
and Referee Chuck" Solador was
forced to call numerous fouls for
picking off on both sides.
Captain Thomas playing his first
game with Amboy in several weeks,
