IGOR ARRANGES
MIDWEST MEETING
HERE FOR MARCH
VIII CoIonize Russian
Jews on Land

The Society for the Aid Of Jewish
Colonization in Soviet Russia, or the
'Icor," as It is called for short, will
hold midwestern conference in Chi
cago March Is The purpose of this
organization is to aid in the transfer
of the Jews in Russia from the cities
to the country districts where they
wish to take up farming.
The competition of the socialized
industries and the increasingly swift
absorption by the state and co-operat-
ives of the entire field of petty trad
ing is forcing thousands of Jews into
other occupations. The Soviet gov
eminent has opened wide the doors
of opportunity both in industry and
agriculture which under the cars
rule had been closed against them.
A hundred thousand Jewish families
will. according TO all indications, soon
be on Russian farms.

coolies by the hundred were loaded
on this freighter. Each car was so
crowded that the passengers did not
have a chance to breath We asked
one of the foreign conductors what
was the reason for this act. He re-
piled: "Chinese and dogs are all alike

you wouldn't mind it, either" Later,
rumors were spread that several peo-

to play on the same playground with
foreign children. Certain tea-houses
and cafes barred Chinese. On every
spot the Chinese were prosecuted by
the foreigners.
The Chinese in general do not hate

against religion or color in China. A

cooIIe Thrown Off Train.

Going from Manchuria to Hardin we
went on the Chinese-Eastern Railroad.
At that time, the railroad was not I'M
der the control of the Soviet govern
ment. The train happened to be very
crowded. The conductor, foreigner,
went around cursing and swearing.
Finally he said: I'VE have too many
people on this train, some will have
to go off," Immediately he grabbed
one Chinese coolie and as the train
was travelling at full speed threw him
off. The cody fell unconscious on the
ground. What really happened to the
coolie / do not know, but | think he
remained a cripple for the rest of
his life. Several passengers protested
against this act. The conductor told
them to keep quiet or else they would
be arrested and placed before court
martial for interfering with the trans
portation.

HEAVY TRUCKS
OPPOSED

Heavy truck traffic is running
homes and disturbing the rest OF
invalids and children, the Dis
trict Commissioners were told at
public hearing in the District
Building yesterday. The meeting
was for the purpose Of getting
reaction to the proposal to re-
duce the weight limits OF trucks.
Bitter opposition to the use Of
the Districts residential streets
for commercial hauling was voiced
by residents of Georgetown and
other sections of the city
The Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation, in petition drawn by
John Ihlder, proposed further re.
striction of truck traffic and advo.
Gated the diversion Of heavy vehicles
from the streets now being used to
highways on which fewer homes are
located and better suited for com
merciaI hauling.
Those opposing further restric-
ton and asking the lifting OF the
ban on solid-tired trucks from bou-
levards so that commercial vehicles
might be kept off the narrow
residential streets included w.

HERE is now new way in
tooth, and gum care. A way
that acts differently from ordinary
pastes and dentifrices. A way that
clears cloudy teeth to sparkling
whiteness; that firms gums to a
healthy coral tint to contrast them.
Modern dental science has made
important new discoveries. It's been
proved teeth are seldom naturally
"off color" Simply clouded by a
dingy film coat that old-tirne denti-
frices did not successfully clear off.
Let us send you full Today tube
to try. BY clearing your teeth of
that film coat, you may change your
whole appearance.
What film is-duIIS teeth,
invites gum disorders
Dental science now traces scores OF
tooth and gum troubles to germ
laden film that forms on your teeth.
Run your tongue across your teeth
and you will feel tia slippery, Wis
cous coating.
That film absorbs discolorations
from food, smoking, etc. 1t makes
teeth look "off color" and dingy.

HARLEM NEGROES

''The Rent Party' Is Their Lat

New York, Dec. 17 P-Two mo- vel easy-money schemes have gnown up in Harlem, haven of the negro in New York.
 The rent party" is the most unique. When the visit of the rent collector is imminent and the family treasury is low, comes the happy thought of Hrning the living quar- ters into an impromptu place of en- tertainment for a night The box-of- flee is the sidewalk, where tickets to the rent party" are sold to whoever among the passersby can be importuned into the home. The price of admission is 25 cents upward, according to the "swanki- ness" of the household.
 The motley room of guests occa- sionally gets boisterous. leading the jewellers into the tolls of the law.
 The other scheme, in which the rewards are uncertain except for the promoters, is sort of lottery, known as numbers or the policy game" operated with the daily fi- gures of total stock market sales as a basis. Although contributions of as little as a nickel are solicited, con- siderable sums are involved.

 A benefit boxing bout was held in 1924, when SS,90o was raised for the fund. Langford claims it was his plight that led boxing fans to start the benefit bout. He said he hoped to get $500 to open a bootblack stand in Boston.

Rochester. N. Y, Dec. 17.-tP- An unidentified man was swept to his death over the upper falls of the Genesee river here today after he had leaped into the icy stream from the Central avenue bridge. Three passersby told authorities they saw the man, who was about 45 and well-dressed, stop suddenly in his walk across the bridge, re- move his overcoat, climb over the concrete rail, smilingly wave to them and drop to the water. They said he was swept rapidly downstream and over the falls.

 AS the state highway scraper has lied the snow on the side Of the ead, and as no effort has been made most cases to clear a foot path, lssersby are made to walk in the ehway itself, which, under the instant heavy traffic which uses the broughfare, presents a menace.

stant menace from traffic. As chil- gers that surround highway pedes- ! trianism and as the road is always under more or less pressure from traffic, it is thought that some law should be passed which would re- move the dangerous conditions by forcing Kensington home owners to | clear the walks within a reasonable length of time after the snow falls. Along Berlin stree and other parts of the town, the walks have been promptly cleared without any action from local authorities and it is a puzzle to the town fathers as to why this one district should so neglect it's properties as 10 let snow lie on the walks for two weeks without any effort of removal.
 In the outlying districts where both automobile traffic and pedes- trianism does not occur to any large degree it is understood that such action could be delayed with out any danger to passersby. In a central district such as the Beech Swamp area, however, such negli- gence is thought unpardonable.
 Whist Successful
 The whist held last evening by the Tabs and the ladies of the congre- gation of St. Paul's church, was well attended by local whist enthusiasts. The prizes were taken away by Mrs. Frank McKeon, John Welch of Middletown and Jerry Warren of kensington. Refreshments were served and it was voted to hold an- other one of the affairs after the holidays.
