ABUSED STOMACHS REBEL

Like every other organ Of the

it is properly treated. 1t will stand

This attitude is wrong.

Menace of Money

wv HAT consolation there is in the report of the
wv French Academy of Medicine the danger
w of possessing money! Paper money carries
germs, but gold and silver coins perous
TO health The safest form of currency copper say
the savants
So the less money one possesses, the longer one
should live. Persons with empty pockets may find
singular satisfaction in the reflection that their health
is preserved by their poverty
Yet streets probably will not be cuttered with
gold and silver Our ash will not bulge with bank
notes The very risks entaied by the ownership of
money viii prompt the average to seek it. Amer-
cans ever are fond Of taking a chance.

OVER LIES HURDLES
Writing That Deceives Is Harmful.
BY LOUIS E. BISCH

the happy ending often stretch
credulity to the limit. Neverthe-
less, if the story is good-if it isn't
cheap of its kind-we find n fairly
consistent portrayal of life accord
ing to the premises established.
In other words, if we grant the
hero superhuman strength it follows
that he might be able to support n
railway trestle with his shoulders
in order to save the heroine from
having a freight train crush her
underneath. There is certain
plausibility about this sort of thing
and so, in a way it is true to life.
But cheap fiction establishes prac-
tically no premises. The story hangs
together by the loosest kind of plot.
What it says about people, and the
things they say themselves, is like
the way puppets might behave-nOt
living beings. It's deductions about
life are absolutely false, although
they may be presented in an in
triguing way. 1t seems as if the in
tent to mislead is deliberate. 1t
overemphasizes the unusual, the
bizarre, the ~tawdry, the licentious.
1t makes the exceptional common
place. In a word, cheap fiction
lies.
People are influenced by what
they read, therefore, writing that de.
ccives is harmful! More than that,
it's an insult TO their intelligence,

What constitutes cheap fiction is
a question which would probably be
answered in many different ways.
The same may be said of the word
harmful in this connection.
Cheap fiction certainly has moth
ing to do with the form of distribu-
tion-thc paper, the print, the bind
ing. One finds the worlds great
est classics in editions intended to
meet the pocketbook Of even
schoolboy. Nor can adventure, mys-
terry and detective stories rightly be
so classed. Men like Wilson and
Roosevelt have admitted finding en-
joyment in that kind of story and
their minds were of such high
calibre that anything cheap certainly
would have offended their sensi-
bilities.
1t is my notion that literature
that is cheap lies! 1t lies about it.

fiction doesn't square with human
nature.

WAYSIDE WISDOM
Hard Luck for Jimmy.
By S. E. KISER

Think Of Jimmy Strong with pity,
For his case is very sad;
To little inland city
He is banishcd, luckless lad J.!
They have raised his pay and made
him
District manager out there,
But he thinks they have betrayed
him,
And his grief is hard to bear.
Jimmy's parents, too, are worried
Over his unhappy case;
They're afraid he may b. buried
In that small and quiet place.
Fifty thousand population
That is all Springhaven claims;
What n sorry situation
They have hunted out for James!
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-12

Out where lucklcss Jimmy's going
Everybody owns a car;
People there have ways Of knowing
Who their next-door neighbors
are;
There is hardly any killing,
Taxis few and far between
No excitement, nothing thrilling
Lawns aplcnty, wide and green.
Not a solitary thirty
Story building in the town;
No congestion, and no dirty
Slums where dcath-traps tumble
down;
No great crowds Of men, receiving
Scant attention from their kind
Pity Jimmy, who is leaving
All such signs of life behind.

Acting Mayor Presides
 At SaccO-Vanzetti Meeting

Boston, March "A mass meet ing of 1j00 persons here yesterday, called in the interests of Nicola Sac co or Bartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted of the murder of shoe factory pay master and his guard at South Braintree in 1920, adopted a resolu- ton demanding new trial The meeting was presided over by Acting Mayor James T.

 The resolution adopted said that because Judge Webster Thayer of the superior court, who presided at the trial, has refused all demands of millions of workers all over the world for a new trial in order to present 'incontrovcrtiblc evidence of their innocence" his action con- stitucd a "menace to the safe guards of liberty guaranteed by the constitution"

Philadelphia. March 2. -- Fine weather was reported today at both of the Philadelphia major league baseball training camps and plans were made by the respective man agers for a week of hard practice.
 At Bradentown, Fla, where the first contingent Of the Phlllles ar rived yesterday, Manager Fletcher said his players appeared in good condition and ready to start hard work at once.

The pitchers and catchers have been in camp a week and Mack planned his workouts this week chiefly for the benefit of the fielders who ar rived yesterday. With the exception of Hauser, Bafwell and Galloway the Fort Myers camp is complete. These three arc expected in day or so.

CHECK UP AGES ON
 LICENSE SEEKERS
Motor Vehicle Dept. Requires Birth Certificate in Some Gases

Hartford, March 2.--To verify the age given by many applicants for licenses 10 operate motor vehicles in Connecticut, the state department of motor vehicles is requiring the ap- plicants 10 furnish certified copies of their birth certificates, in sus- picious cases. During the past year, drivers licenses were taken away from 36 people who were found to have misrcprcscnted themselves to be over the minimum age of IS years, and several prosecutions have been initiated by the department. A number of cases which arose in the past few days during the rush for 1925 operators licenses are now un- der investigation.
 Birth certificates are required by the department whenever the age of an operator or applicant is called in question and there are no previous records in the department to estab- fish the age of the person involved. It is g curious fact that many of the complaints drawing the departments attention 10 under-age drivers come in letters from the parents or broth CTS and sisters of the drivers, who have evidently remonstratcd in vain with the under-age drivers. Other complaints come from neighhors or 1Cquaintances who sometimes prove to be people who have been unable to qualify for licetlscs themselves be- cause of the age limitations, and re- sent the licensing of others in sim liar circumstances who have misrep- resented themselves 10 the depart ment. The state law is specific, pro hbtng the licensing of persons un- der IS years old, and, however skilled a driver may be, the depart ment has no discretion whatsoever in such cases.
 On inc other hand, the depart ment has had experiences with some parents who have assisted their chil- drcn 10 deceive 1t as to the age of sons or daughters seeking licenses. In a recent case, father brought 10 the office of the department at the Capitol one of his older sons and swore that he was younger son, d boy under Is years of age, who had applied for q license. Of course li- ccnscs obtained by misstatement on application are null and void from the date Of issue.

In two pippin games, at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday afternoon the Industrial league teams won one and lost one. The first game between the Apaches and R. & F. in which the Apaches won by a score of 43 to 27 was a surprise as F. & F. had swamped the league leading All Stars in a previous game.
 The Apaches scored first when after some pretty pass work Loomls shot one from under the basket, less than a minute later Goodrich tied 1t with a side shot, and went into tho lead when Luke scored. The Russwin boys were never headed again in the first half and the half ended IS to lS in their favor.
 During the half "Goody" Priesser found a rabbits foot and some Of the shots he made in the second half were unique in the extreme, one shot, while travelling at full speed was one handler over his shoulder. and another shot from under the basket went straight up over the basket Is feet and dropped through with out touching the rim. He made seven baskets in the second half.
 "Grampa" Williams played a good game getting five baskets while Loonis, Kilgren, Pinkerton, and Ysnkaskas. all played a fine game for the Apaches.
