100000 in Drugs

in Big Raid

TAMPA, Fla, Sept. 23.-With
fifteen persons under arrest,
and narcotics valued at more
than $1,00O,O0O, "street prices"
seized, Federal narcotic agents
here today believed they had
broken up one of the largest
"dope" rings in the country.
Two of the prisoners. Guis-
seppi Bizzee, alias "Whispering
Willie" and James Caiccitaro,
alias 90 Jo," are alleged by
narcotic agents to be the leaders
of the ring.
The agents, more than a score
in number, swooped down upon
the rooming places and chang
outs" of these alleged dopesters
last night under the direction Of
Thomas X. Middlebrooks. The
successful raid eliminated an in

it is perfectly safe to say that this is
the greatest and funniest comedy
that Harold has ever made. Indeed.
anyone who can see this picture
without laughing long and hilarious
ly, must be a queer specimen Of hu-
manity.
Lloyd is seen as Il young married
man who is continually in "hOt
water" with everyone, from his in
laws to traffic cops and street car
conductors. He goes through all
;the trials and tribulations that have
sbeset married men since that fatal
day when Adam took a bite Of the
forbidden fruit in the Garden Of
Eden. The Eve, in his case, whose
family cause great deal of the
trouble, is none other than Jobyna
Ralston, whose ravishing beauty
caused so much eye strain, when she
was seen as the dainty heroine in
"Why Worry?" and "Girl Shy"
Nothing too good can be said of
Harold Lloyd and the pictures that
he puts out for the cntertainme Mt
of an admiring public. And he GER
tainly hasn't disappointed anybody

humor, always versatile, always
clean, rises to new heights Of hilar-

SPECIAL CHURCHSERVlCES
BEGIN LENTEN SEASON

The term Lent" comes from an
old Anglo-Sa word meaning
"spring," and signifies the period of
forty weekdays from Ash Wednes-
day to Holy Saturday, preceding
Easter (Which falls this year on
April l2th), during which fasting
was cnjoined from the time of the
early history of the Christian
Church. 1t is period of mourn
ing and preparation for the COM
memoration of the resurrection of
Christ. t,.
In the forty days of Lent there is
the Biblical parallel to the forty
days fast Of Christ, the forty days
spent by Moses and Elias in the
wilderness, and the forty days grace
given in the preaching of Jonah to
Nineveh.
Ash Wednesday, the first day of
Lent, is so named from the ancient
ceremonial use of ashes as a symbol
of penitence in the service of the
day.
