EngdahI Continues His Talk.
Engdahl was then reintroduced by
Chairman Burman. Engdahl told of
the fight that was being made to save
the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti, not
only in this country, but turnout the
world, declaring that students every
where turnout the United States must
join in this effort.
He urged that the City College stu

the State House and Charlestown

said this delegation could report back
to the students of the College, and
thus give the student body a first
hand report on the case,

was adopted, which will be telegraph

declared that the students believed
that Sacco and Vanzetti had not re-

ecutive clemency.
Placards that had been posted up
around the campus, advertising the
demonstration, had been torn down

Denenberg, of the N. Y Students Sac
co and Vanzetti Committee; Louis
Burman, student, was acting as
chairman.
Meeting Held on Campus.
The meeting started on the open
campus, the huge granite foundation
out of the center of which rises
giant flag staff usually graced with
an American flag, being used rs a
speakers platform.
Burnan opened the meeting, de-
claring that the gathering was not
being held under the auspices of any
organization, but was the result of a
spontaneous demand on the bart of
large numbers of students that a Sac
co-Vanzetti Protest gathering be held
He then introduced Felix Cohen, son
of the professor of philosophy at City
| College, as the first speaker. Cohen
declared his faith in the innocence of
Sacco and Vanzetti and urged the stu
dents to read the book on the case
written by Professor Felix Franklin
ter, of Harvard University.
Engdahl's Plea Is Interrupted.
Engdahl next began to analyze the
case as an example of capitalist class
"justice" against which the thinking
students Of the nation must rebel, in
common with the whole working class.
He was giving a word picture of the
makeup of the ruling class autocracy
in the New England states, and es-
pecially in Massachusetts, that inaug-
urated the attack on Sacco and Van
zetti, when several squads of police,
in military formation, headed by Ser
gean Lander, marched on the campus

and tore down the sign that merely

College Head Leads Attack.
In another f wv minutes Francis x
Healy, director of the summer session
of City College, heading a flying
wedge of police, demanded that tht

they had he right to hold the meet
ing on their own campus, that they
had done so in the past, but f!eal1
: was supp. rted by the police, and in
sisted the meeting stop.
The students decided that if the!
couldn't hold the meeting on the cam
pus, they would hold it on a public
street, where the college authorities

Break Up Second Meeting.
Some of the students got thru thu
police line to 139th street and Amster

JUDGE THAYER

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. Q. -
More than 10000 workers were on
strike here today in protest against
the impending execution Of Sacco and
Vanzetti. The workout followed a
giant mass meeting held under the
auspices of the Sacco-Vanzetti De-
Tense Committee.
The strikers gathered outside fac.
tories and threatened those who re-
manned working. Practically all the
large clothing factories were forced to
close and the officials asked police
protection. Many of the clothing
workers went out on strike over the
orders of their union leaders who
forbade a walkout until tomorrow
afternoon.

Dropping down from loft above

Phillip Simon, manager of the

The hank force was herded into a

king Ferdinand is not likely to
make his proposed trip to Sicily, which
had been planned for next month. 1t
appears that two of his physicia MS
approved the trip. but third doctor
protested against it pending further
examination into his condition.
The fact that no bulletins are being
issued and that the Rumanian cur
rency unit is steadily rising in value
has brought a certain amount of con-
fidence that the Kings condition is
satisfactory.
The Kings physicians announced
recently that after an examination
they found no trace of the intestinal
malady from which he had suffered
and for which radium treatment was
administered. They advised trip to
a warmer climate. as, in their opinion,
such a change was needed to effect a

No matter what ais your child,
gentle, thorough laxative should al
ways be the first treatment given.
If your little one is out of sorts,
half sick, isn't resting, eating and act
ing naturally-look, Mother! see if
tongue is coated. This is sure sign
that the little stomach, liver and
bowels are clogged with waste. When
cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad or has stomach-ache, diar-
rhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give
teaspoonful of California Fig Syrup"
and in a few hours all the consti-
pated poison, undigested food and sour
bile gently moves out Of the little
bowels without gripping, and you have
a well, playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless, "fruity laxative" be-
cause it never fails to cleanse the
little ones liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and they dearly
love it's pleasant taste. Full direc-
lions for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups printed on each
bottle.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
California Fig Syrup" then see that
it is made by the California Fig
Syrup Company"

WHAT THE GRACIOUS
HOSTESS SAYS:
BY DELLA THOMPSON LUpEs
A BREAKFAST PARTY

a NY meal that is served before one
"A o'clock Is breakfast. After that
it is called luncheon. There is
fashion now in some tearooms and
coffee shops of calling the meal served
from ten o'clock to noon, brunch" or
'brekko-lunch"-a combination of
breakfast and lunch.
The cloth for the breakfast or
brunch" party may be as gay as you
like. Colored linens made into runners
and embroidered, or not place mats of
Indian head or the ever-fast textiles
ecru art crash in cross-stitch en-
broidery; old-fashioned yellow and
white or blue and white tablecloths
cut over into breakfast cloth, runners,
or mats and napkins; pale yellow OIL
cloth decorated with stencil painting;
unbleached muslin with applique de-
sign or border of cretonne-there are
any number of fascinating cloths with
which to dress the table. The long
white dinner cloth, however, has no
place on the breakfast table If the
refectory table is used, it should be
left bare, with, possibly, place mats or
doilies of coarse linen. The refectory
table Qong and narrow and very sim
pie of line) is an innovation in the
American home, but is rapidly coming
into popular usage. Its covering
open, showing the wood of the table.
The decorations should be simple,
with a blue cloth; lilies of the valley
with runners Of green checked ging-
ham, pussy-willows with runners of
orchid; brown basket of fruit with
cloth Of unbleached muslin or heavy
ecru linen appliqued in fruit design;
high glass compete overflowing with
grapes on a blue-and-white or yellow
cloth; or glass basket in the center,
with smaller glass baskets Gall alike)
at each of the four corners. Baskets Of
Dresden are also lovely, and the grass
and reed baskets that some Of us are
sufficiently accomplished to make our
selves, make very charming decora-
lions when filled with flowers, fruit or
candy.
If baskets, compotiers or other orna-
mental holders are used, however, they
must be all alike.
If the table is small or narrow 1t is
not best to use too many decorative
articles, but where it Is large, addi-
tional flower holders, bowls, compotiers
or figures may be used. You must,
however, guard against getting too
many different kinds Of decorative ar
ticles on the table. For instance, you
might use an old-fashioned high
standard compotier or "sauce-dish" Of
pressed glass-such as belonged to
your grandmother-for centerpiece.
With this you could use four small sill
yer or glass baskets or compotiers, or
four colored bird-fgures at the corners
of the table for candy, but these four
must be all alike. Your table would
look like the glass counter in, depart
ment store if each Of the fouf baskets
was different.
