New York, it looks as if he had taken out
1000 insurance against criticism when
he chooses that feature and pays stiff
price for it. However, he has done moth

events in Shenandoah prove. In pictures
there is always the element of luck
against which no man can insure.

 The seamen in the back started singing Tell Me the Old, Old Story" This excited the anger of the wo- men. one of whom marched dra- matically among the singers and pushed one man, presumably her husband, out of the hall.
 Mrs. Drummond, another speaker, In making an unfavorable allusion to men. brought forth another up- roar, this time among the women themselves. After this order en- tirely disappeared. The women di- vided into sections, yelling against one another. Babies which many of the women carried joined in the chorus.
 It was a long time before enough silence was obtained 10 carry out the purpose of the meeting. Finally majority was obtained for a reso- lution denouncing the promoters of the seamen's strike and protesting against visit by Tom Walsh having as its object the stirring up of fur. ther strife.

JOHN J. GREEN
HOME FROM FLORIDA
Says Activities There Will Be Re-

John j. Green, contractor and
builder, has returned from Florida
to take up work for which he
has been making arrangements
for several weeks. Mr.. Green is
looking forward to one of the
busiest periods in the history Of

studied building operations which
are being carried on there on a
vast scale. He says that real es-
tate values have become stabal-
lied while the extent of building
operations in the centers is very
great.
Mr.. Green is confident that
Florida developments will turn to
the benefit of this section and
that the effect is already begin

done In Florida in land improve
ment and building may be done
in this district which is aces
