CHILDREN STARVING
In Germany to Receive Aid
From Hamilton
Relief Drive Planned For
Week of March 23-
$4,000 Goal

Hamilton is to aid the children
starving in Germany. This was de-
cided upon at meeting of citizens
held last week in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms, at which time a
permanent organization was formed
with Judge Clarence Murphy as chair
man of the committee. An open meet
ing of the committee was called for
Tuesday night of this week to which
all citizens were invited.
A large crowd attended this meet
ing and definite plans were discussed
and arranged for a drive to secure at
least $4,000 for the cause during the
week of March %. Hamilton schools
will take prominent part in the drive.
A speakers bureau is being organized
to present program of talks in the
schools and in public meetings and
assemblies of all kinds. Pastors of
the various churches will make an
nouncements of the drive from their
pulpits Sunday, March %.
The local post of the American
Legion comes to the front in the cause
in noble manner. A committee COM
posed of Allen Hyer, Leeds Bronson
and John Croker offered the support
of their organization in every way.
They will supply speakers and they
announced that the donations of their
members would be turned in in lump
sum in the name of the American
Legion.
Judge Murphy told that there are
from two to four million children suf-
fering from various diseases such as
tuberculosis, rickets, dizziness and
headaches, all due to malnutrition.
"Our prosperity" said Judge Muir
ply, "is dependent on the prosperity
of others. Out of our plenty we
should be able to give little to aid
the starving children of Germany"
Allen Andrews, Sr., also delivered
talk in which he urged that every
one support the drive.

this: If the fourteen Southern states

will it take to become really dry when

AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES

RialtO, Sunday
Constance Talmadge in s'Dulcy"
"Dumb-bell" has gone into the dis
card in Hollywood.
A new word now reigns supreme.
It's "dulcy" now when somebody
pulls "boner," or in politer par
lance, faux pas. It's "dulcy" when
somebody spills the beans" by talk
ing out of turn. It's "dulcy" when
some "green pea" asks you in the
presence of your wife if you're going
to sit in at the poker game that night,
after you've told your better half
you're going to lodge meeting.
"Dulcy" was derived from Con-
stance Talmadge's new film produc-
tion of that name In this screen
adaptation of one of New York's big
gest comedy successes, Constance
Talmadge finds herself in new type
of role.
''Dulcy" was directed for Producer
Joseph M. Schenck by Sidney Frank

and will be shown at the Rialto
theatre on Sunday for four days.

Rodgers in ''The Ropin' Fool" and

In "White Shoulders" Katherine
Macdonald, the First National star,
has the role of a beautiful young
girl who has been brought up for the

blooded, calculating parent, but by
a kind, loving, thoughtful mother,
whose married life has been one pro-
longed series of hardships and suf-
ferings, the result of a lack of
finances.
When Miss Macdonald is seen in
this latest production for the first
time in this city at the Rialto theatre,
commencing next Thursday, her many
admirers will have chance to see

USE COMPANY UNION"

Topeka, Kan.-The Santa Fe rail-
road is proving to anti-union railroads
that the hand-picked company union"
has other merits than keeping wages
down.
The Santa Fe is using its company
"union" to agitate against any change
in the transportation act.
Small business men and farmers
who have given their moral support
to the company union" now see this
Santa Ee adjunct pleading with con-
gress for no change in the law, and
with the interstate commerce commits
sion for no change in the high pas
senger and freight rates.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By /. C. McCUMBER

Spending a few days in one of the
towns that line the shores of the Mis-
sissippi river between Charlottesville.
Mo-, and New Orleans, La, some time
ago, we became acquainted with man
who owned fast motor boat. One
morning he called us to the phone and
asked did we care to take a launch
ride on the river. Tieing up the
launch to an island after a short ride.
we walked through dense growth
of young elm and willows. Within a
few moments he had unearthed keg.
removed the bung and was busy
syphoning a brownish liquid from it..
| Pouring some. of it into glass he
offered it to me. "That is eight
months DID," he said, you need not
be afraid TO drink" "There are ap-
proximately 800 gallons of that liquor
on this island" he continued 'It is
made on the mainland, placed in skiffs
and cached here for aging and distri-
button" One of the adjacent states
has been in the prohibition column for
over sixty years, the other for nearly
twenty. Did Perley Baker or Wayne
B. Wheeler ever tell you why the
South went prohibition Did they
tell you that they voted out the saloon
on account of the negro? Did they
tell you that the South always pre-
ferred it's "hard" liquor and wines to
plebian beer? Did they tell you of
the enormous quantities used in the
Southern states? Did they tell you of
the real reason the white plantation
owner voted liquor away quite as far
a she could from the negro? They
did not. The old Southern stock goes
ON the theory that when darky can
guzzle booze or liquor of any kind, he
is bad actor, and so he is. So the
white man handles the money, drinks
the liquor and tries to make the negro
do the work And it works out fairly

Drinking among college students
has increased since constitutional pro-
hibition," DR.. Samule Plantz, presi-
dent of Lawrence College, Appleton,
Wis, told the Anti-Saloon League at
its thirtieth annual convention recent
ly held at Washington, D. c. He also
stated that a large percentage of the
students favored a modification of the
present so-called prohibition laws.
The president of that college is not
in favor of the old saloon, and as for
that, nobody with an ounce of COM
mon sense would see it return But
when one delves below the surface
he is bound to come to but one con-
| clusion, and that conclusion is to the
effect that the United States, as a
| whole, cannot continue for any great
length of time being made hypo-
crite Not alone is the present law
making hypocrites faster than Kan
sas cyclone can travel, but it is under
mining the very source from whence

GERS of the COOPERATIVE Trades and
Labor Council held their first meeting
last Saturday afternoon in the labor
temple. The purpose of the meeting
was to start an audit on the books of
the council, and if possible give the
affiliated locals an idea of the busi-
ness that has been transacted in the
past few years. The old officers were
asked to bring in all their books,
papers and other data concerning the
labor temple, the last Labor Day out
ing and also the bazaar held in De-
cember. This work is in progress
now, and feel sure that by next Tues
day night the officers will submit a
report that will be satisfactory to
everyone interested in the progress
of the movement.
At the first meeting held Saturday
the new officers realized that it was
going to be quite job to straighten
out the many unfinished details per-
tanning to the council and some of it's
former committees, so they decided to
meet every night beginning with
Monday night. UP to this writing the
officers have met each night and by
now they have the audit pretty we'll
under way When this report is made
want every delegate to take this re-
port back to his local and to be in a
position to explain every detail to his

to elect three good delegates to rep
resent them in the council meetings

meetings and take part at all times.

WORK STARTED
 ON NURSE HOMES
New Building To Cost $35,0OO Being Con-
 structed By T. C. 1.
(Ensley Bureau)


 Construction has been begun on an addition to the white nurses home of the employees hospital of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and q new dormitory for negro nurses that will cost approximately $35,000.
 Both buildings will be ready for oc- cupancy by the beginning of the autumn, according to plans of the company. Much educational work has been in progress for some time by the company among both negro and white nurses. Although schools for the two are con- ducted separately, the same lectures and the same speakers are given both.
 Greater capacity at the white school will provide for more young women, and the construction of the dormitories for the negroes will make space heretofore used for that purpose on other floors available for other purposes.
