 Dr. stone said that the girls had visited his office for the alleged pur- pose of dental treatment and that later they had attempted to blackmail him. One of the girls testified that she had gone to his office to obtain money on one occasion, and the other declared, under cross-examination that they had discused Dr. Stone as a possible source of revenue.

 Declines to Take Action

Cairo. April 1.-The mixed court at Alexandria, which has been consider ing the controversy over continuance of the excavations in the tomb of Tutankhamcn, declared today that cancellation of the concession to Countess carnaryon was an adminis- trative act over which the mixed tri- bunals In Cairo had no control.

GIRL BLACkMAILERS PREY ON DENTISTS
New York Misses Find Way to
 Make Easy Money

New York, April 2.-Louis A. Abrams, formerly assistant district att torney, issued d warning yesterday against young girl blackmailers in New York city who are more danger ous than the smoothest adventuresses represented on the screen" MT. Abrams acted as counsel Monday for Dr. Adolf stone. dentist of 611 West 10th street, who was exonerated of charges instigated by two flfteen-year- old girls and brought at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
 "A few cases have come into the courts" Mir. Abrams said. fin which evidence is>so inadequate that an i'm mediate dismissal resulted. This was true in Dr. Stones case and in the case of Tex Rickard, both of whom unquestiona bly, were blackmailed. In addition, there are other cases, not on the records, where men of integrity and character have paid sums of money to interruptions persons rather than appear in the courts, even though they were innocent.
 Less Credulity Urged
 'There also has been a surprising amount of credence given to the stories of unreliable persons before such cases were brought into the Mir. Abrams added. T do not blame the children's society nor any one else, but I do believe that some method should be adopted whereby evidence might be sifted before the of a respectable citizen is damaged by his appearance in court charged with immortality"
 Magistrate Well found the testi- mony of the complaining witnesses utterly unworthy of belief" and dis missed the case against pr. Stone calling the latter to the stand. The two girls, whose morals Dr. Stone was charged with impairing, were Annie Willinger, of 295 Thatford ave- nue, Brooklyn and Lillie Goodson, of s02 Howard avenue, Brooklyn. The two came into the hands of the S. r. c. c. on the complaint of a parent of

Jesus Makes A Missionary Tour
 Mark i: S5.45 -f

35. And in the morning, great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into desert place, and there prayed.
 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
 B. And they found him, and said unto him, All are seeking thee.
 3S. And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns that 1 may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
 39. And he went into their syna- gogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
 40. And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
 fl. And being moved with com passion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him ,and saith unto him, will; be thou made clean.
 42. And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
 43. And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out.
 A. And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go show myself to the priest, and of fer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a tes- timony unto them.
 40. But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, inasmuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into city, but was without in des- ert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

 Though He was the perfect physician, He did not purposely seek out the sick. He kept reminding men that his mis- sion was to drive away spiritual suffer- ing. If it turned out that He drove out also, suffering from the flesh,. quieted pain and restored health to the body, along with the soul, He did not refuse, because He could not and would not refuse.
 There were times when He showed himself adverse to this, because his mission was higher; flor to this end came I forth" He did not wish to ap- per like wizard or magician. That were too much like the sort of Messiah most men were expecting. But He came to conquer evil, and therefore often drove out evils of the body as well as those of the soul.
 A Type Of Sin
 There came along the public highways that He travelled, lepers singly and In groups -disfigured, horrible, nauseatlng lepers with their scaly skin showing through their torn clothes, and thelr white parched bones showing through the places where the decaying flesh had | fallen away.
 Lepers are described as with spotted, cracked withered, wrinkled skin, when deformed the mouth, half closed the eyes, and pnffs up the hands. They are wretched beyond description; avoid ed by everybody ; separated from every body. When these painfully halled the Master, through their swollen lips' they found one who did not shun them nor turn deaf ear to their prayer
 A New Prescription

 Most sickness, if not all, IS two sided : it is mental and physical. hVery- dav experience teaches that SICK poeS influences the mind; and that ois- osed mind is rarely housed-by heaithy hodv.

 In this lesson, Jesus, the healer anu liberator, is far from what hls gnenies mes considered Him. They sad lie was the God of the sick, the weak the ulres, the wretched. Truth is, He drew near the sick to take away their sickness to the weak to lift them out oi @ .nena weakness; the dirty to make .hnrn inen clean to slaves in order to free tboir ,ni. i'll.
