 TAPPING HOME MAIN
Orphan Water Supply Reduced,
 Is Claim

A temporary order restraining resi- dents in the neighborhood of the East Lake orphanage from tapping a water supply pipe leading to the asylum from a nearby spring, was granted Friday by Judge Roger Snyder on petition of Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of the Catholic diocese of Mobile, who charged that shut-off had been placed on the pipe, which caused serious re- duction in the water supply.
 Bishop Allen states in his petition that property deeds allow for tapping of the spring by residents, but that there is A provision that makes it illegal for the spring to be tapped to the detri- ment of the supply to the orphans home. He claims that his agents have appealed without effect to the residents.
 Hearing of the case is scheduled In about two weeks.

 It appears that the draw-out, in it's various forms, is a scheme by which the sucker enters into an agreement to double-cross oen of the mob of gam blers. Of course, the sucker loses. But he cant squeal.
 Avery Hopwood has some good chorus girl slang in his new show, Best Peo- pie" Good chorus girl slang, but not the best. Because the best comes right from the chorus girl heart. It is a spark from that flint or a dew of di- vine compassion, as the case may be. It is at it's best only when white-hot new. By the time it filters down to the cor ner boys 1t has become stale. And by that time score of new lines have been born to the chorus girl vocabulary, most of which waste their sweetness on the desert air.

What can be more expressive than the assertion that a naughty person is high-hatting his friends, or that an up-stage lady is Ritzy. And when a thing is all wet it is an utter flop and the nearer knows it. But all these lines are of yesterday. Tonight there will be something new.

dors are put under bond not to ruffle their feelings. Not otherwise. The Mexican bull is a craven.
 Down in Mexico City, where they know the finer aspects of bull fighting almost as well as they do in Sevilla or Madrid, they import Spanish bulls and Spanish fighters. The Spanish bull is cat-footed, fire-eyed, dangerous beast, and the nearer he gets to a fighter the better he likes it. He is pcdigreed five hundred years back, and a family that shows too heavy percentage of bulls that will not fight up to the very u1ti- mate moment is wiped out by the Yil- lage butcher.
