ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Aug. g. When the secretary of the St, Peters burg Chamber of Commerce arose at a luncheon club and advocated making this city strictly Gentle to the extent of discouraging Jews who wished to settle here he probably little dreamed that he would turn this whole section of the country into an inferno of argu- ment But that is exactly what he did.

HAITS QUEER CON GAME
Film Hammer Used Jail
 Story To MuIct His Victims

ATLANTA. Aug. 9.--J. c. Ewing, originator of unique film liam game. which has puzzled police for some time, has at last become entangled in the meshes of the law, according to detec- tives working on the case. His arrest was brought about through tine instru- mentality ofrs women, wEn. detectives say. was one of his intended victims, a
 The scheme used by Ewing was sim pie but effective. He would go to the home of wife anxious about her hus- band or q mother anxious about her son, who was late about coming home. He would then tell a story about the missing man being in jail in default of bond for some minor offense and of- fer to carry the money to him. Later the husband or son would come home, denying having been an inmate of the jail, and the family wonld be loser the amount of the supposed bond.
 Late Friday afternoon Ewing visited Mrs. J. J. Borne, saying her husband had shot a negro and was held in de fault of twenty dollars bond. She did not have the money which he obligingiy offered to convey to the missing hus- band and immediately got in touch with relatives over the telephone. In the evening Borne was found to be at work and had not been near a jail.
 Police officials say the film fam mer, who they are confident is the man who approached Mrs. Borne, has made several hundred dollars out jOf the scheme.

The WeH-D Dressed Man

stitched. Back Golf Jackets

The worst thing that could befall mems dress would be to standardize it down to the level of toothpicks and wit rified bricks; chair casters and corn plasters; bakers rolls and telegraph poles. Style Is like table d'hote-its attraction lies in constant change of subject. Take away personality and the whim of the wearer, and mems dress becomes a mere uniform akin to that worn by ''the insey-woolsy million" gen. erations ago, while 'the gentry" dressed in broadcloth.
 Only in an elemental sense are clothes covering. They are an expression of personality, art, taste, fashion, culture, good form. They refine al man and his manners. Style rises an ideal, and ideals are splendid things, because they make us look up.
 For some time, the fashionable golf suit has been made with perfectly plain back, devoid of flaps, pleats, yokes and all other fussy establishments. It was the inevitable backward swing of the pendulum of style toward that sim plicity which befits the true sportsman. However, there are some who fancy just a touch of decoration to differentiate the country jacket more sharply from the town jacket. Hence the stitched back model, pictured in the accompany- ing sketch.
 This style is set off with horizontal rows of stitching down the small of the back, which is ventless. The front IS finished with the conventional patch pockets. There are, various types of this model, all of which are correct, but

a
 n. C.. Harris, former prohibition agent, charged with accepting q bribe, will be brought before the federal grand jury when it reSonvenes for a two-dayt session August 26s and 28, 1t was re- ported Saturday at federal building.
 Harris was accused several weeks ago of taking so bribe from Mrs. Birdie King, against whom it was said he had evidence in liquor violation case. Although secrecy iBhroudeds the accusation and subsequent arrest of Harris, the case created a senektions when the fact of his arrest was dis-s closed. Harris, who is out on bond, has issued vigorous ienial of the brib- cry charge, stating that he is the in.s nocent victim either of circumstantial evidence or of conspiracy.
 A total of 52 indictments, besides the one against Harris, will be asked of the grand jury. 1t was also learned. { They include cases of automobile steal- ing, violation of the Harrison haFcotics act, violation of the Mann act. and ds many others.

FEW WORDSlISED
 BY BUSINESS MEN
About 400 Found In Aver. age Comrnercials Cor
 respOndence

The nation divided itself the other night over Dr. John 0. French,s .esti- mate of the American business mans working vocabulary. But tho parts were unequal It seemed to be San Francisco against the rest of the coun- try, says the Baltimore Sun. @ : :
 The American. Institute of Banking, national organization in convention in Baltimore, represented the nation. The presidents of eight chapters in various sections of, the country were accosted at random and each was asked this question:
 Docs the average business man in your city use more or less than 400 words in his business> correspond
 Dr. French, associate professor of English at Johns Hopkins university, in a recent" interview estimated that American business, on. the average, was conducted with a writing vocabulary of 400 words. Any stenographer who could spell 400 words has safe job in her particular field, he said.
 Seven out of tn eight men inter viewed said Dr. French is liberal with business men. The eighth, J. Martyr Turner, junior past president of the San Francisco chapter of the American Banking institute, said the four hund- red words would be only a preamble to Golden Gate. business mans vocabu- lary.. ii,rs.'
 Many banks in. San Francisco have English experts on their payrool ,perma- nently, Mir, Turner said' to goapver all bank correspondence. Their ;, special duty, he said, is to see that correspond enee does not become trite and hack neyed. They inAtruet the bank em- playees, from the executive down to the newest stenographer, how to write good business letters. 2, They try to make business letters interesting, he. said.
 MT. Turner said he thought the aver age banker employed between one thou sand and two thousand different words in the conduct of his business
 Kansas City business men try their best to say what they have to say in clear, concise English, according to w. E. Estes, president of the institute chapter there. ...4
 "We are no .windjammers,' he com mented. We go about our business and believe actions speak louder than words. Of course,t our debating team, which, is made up of bank employees and which won the national championship, has many, more than 400 words in its. vocabulary. But the average K. O., business with less than 400 different words" 4
 James K. Steuart, president of the Baltimore chapter, took the same view. '"The average business man writes his letters with as few words as possible" |" he aid.
 Richard W. Grafton, president of the Chicago chapter, thought Dr. French's.. estimate fair one, MT. Grafton is assistant cashier in the Central Trust company of Illinois, of which the president is Charles G. Dawes, republican nominee for vice president. ", l..
 Form letters are employed extensive ly in Des Moines, according to IG c. Miller, president of that chapter. Busi- ness men there use the same words over and over again. They don't do this because. they don't. know more words, he said, but because it's good business to be brief. The average in his home city is more like 300 words, he de- clared.
