Verify, the tongue Of a True
Lover Wagseth not, but stumbleth
and obstructetn his speech. 1t
forgetteth its line and loseth It's
glibness.
The feet of a True Lover rest
not, neither do they wander, but
race back and forth as shuttle
upon beaten path; and when he
is not beside thee, he is always
upon his WAY.
The heart of q True Lover miss

The temper of a True Lover re-
maineth smoother than q poll
tician's campaign talk. His pa
thence is not strained by long hours
of waiting. His sweetness and
forbearance are inexhaustible.
The charity OF True Lover COW
ereth a multitude of caprices and
shortcomings. He perceiveth not
the flaws in thy makeup; and unto
him a. freckled nose is an added
charm and blemish is beauty
spot.
The nose of a True Lover de-
Iigk.Rth in scented powders, and
sacncts, and is not meticulous con-
cermng the BRAND of thy per-
fume-for it is all incense and
sweetness in his nostrils. But
man that is not in love shuddereth
at patchouli and is sickened by the
Oriental stuff.
The shoulders of True Lover
shrink not from rice powder and
rouge and tears and beauty
creams; he rejoiceth 10 be

cautious. and brusheth away the

LETCOS PLANS
ENLARGEMENT IN
WORKERS Center
Restaurant VIII Treble
in Size

The Proletcos, the organization
running the Cooperative Restaurant
at so Union Square (Freiheit Build
ing) has announced it's plans for the
enlargement and the remodeling Of
the restaurant.
The Cooperative Restaurant, serv-
ing 5000 daily, became fayorite eat
ing place from the moment it opened
it's doors and has from the beginning
felt the urgent need Of expansion.
Now that the building next door is
being turned into a Workers Center
this improvement has been made pos
sible.
The restaurant will be more than
trebled in size. It will extend to the
entire ground floor of the adjoining
Workers Center Building, 26-28 Union
Square, increasing it's seating capa-
city to less than three times, from
10 to 300, allowing ample room per
seat. It will be equipped with the
latest machinery for preparing, cook
ing, washing and cleaning. The well
known artist Hugo Gellert will do
the decorating of the rebuilt place,
The Proletcos Organization for
proletarian cooperative storct) has
decided to finance the rebuilding of
the restaurant on cooperative basis
and has issued bonds for that pur-
pose. Bonds, at SIS and 500, bear
.6 pei. cent interest from the day they
are bought to the day they are turned
in back to the Proletcos, are being
offered. Every bondholder can have
his bonds refunded by the cashier Of
the restaurant at any time desirable.
The Proletcos is hopeful of raising a
sufficient amount of money in this
way, giving the workers the benefit
of getting the interest which would
otherwise go to the loan companies.

AS was expected, the other silk mill,

the workers back at the old wage

the bosses conferred with the officials

S. SANDING, DUNN
SPEAKAT Meeting
HELD IN BROOKL YIN
Anti Imperialist League
Raps Wall Street Rule

Socrates SANDING, brother of the
Nicaraguan rebel leader, Robert
Dunn and Manuel Gomez were the
principal speakers at a mass meeting
held last night at Royal Palace Hall,
Brooklyn. Paul Crouch, Communist
soldier, who had been announced to
speak, was detained by urgent work
in South Carolina and could not at
tend.
The meeting, which was held under
the auspices of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League, was unusually
we'll attended. Gomez, in his intro
duction, referred to the court deci-
sion against the use of the anti
imperialist stickers against Amer
lean Intervention in Nicaragua, and
said that the fight against Nicaragua
"was not single-handed offensive
on Coolidge's part, but well-planned
all-inclusive battle carried on by the
entire capitalist government, acting
as a unit with the press"
Injunction Denied.
The injunction sought by the ALI
America Anti-Imperialist League
against federal interference with mail
bearing the SANDING stamps was de-
MED Wednesday by Federal Judge
Thomas Thatcher. Postal authorities
had previously declared letters bear
ing the anti-imperialist stamps as I'M
mailable. Manuel Gomez, U. S. Sec
rotary of the Anti-Imperialist League
commended that the postal department
exceeded its authority in barring the
stamps, inasmuch as the stamps were
neither obscene nor in any way in VIC
lation of post office laws.
"The decision says that there are
no marines in Nicaragua" stated
Gomez last night. "This is another
step in the Nicaragua hypocricy. This
decision also says that we cannot say
that there are marines in Nicaragua.
This action of the postal authorities
and the courts shows that all branches
of the Coolidge government are doing
everything in their power to support
the slaughter of Nicaraguan work
ers. We will continue to fight the
Wall Street war on Nicaragua in
every way"

Ramona Has Bruises
Where She Sits Down

When two stenographers and
soda clerk go on a joy ride in bor-
rowed car something is bound to
happen, and something did happen
last week when Ersie Miller, Ra-
mona Benton, and George Turner
went to ride in car belonging to
we'll known doctor of this city.
The trio set out on a little ride
Friday night and were out on the
Hertford highway spinning along
at a good clip when suddenly they
went off the, road, turned turtle, and
threw one of the girls into the ditch.
Ersie sustained a bad cash on her
arm. and had to have six stitches
taken in it; George, as most drivers
do, escaped without injury: and
Ramona now has a very bad bruise
right where she sits down. The car
was not badly damaged, but 1t Is
certain that the occupants had quite
a bit of explaining to do to the
doctor when they got back to town.
AS was stated above, something
is bound to happen when two steno-
graphers and a soda clerk go JOY

HAVEN'T TIME
FOR PLEASURE

This week the Virginia State
Shriners Convention Is holding
forth in Norfolk, and the Shriners
arc painting the town red. Next
week the North Carolina Council of
the Junior Order will convene in
Elizabeth City. but there will net
be a hot time in the old town next
week because the Junior Orderites
are converting to transact business
and not tear things up as the Amer
lean Legionnaires, Elks, Shriners,
and other organizations do when
they hold a big convention.
The North Carolina Retail Mcr-
chants Association met here in the
spring and had big banquet and 4
bigger dance. The North Carolina
Association of Funeral Directors
and Embalmers met here in June
and despite the solemn nature Of
their profession they turned out to
be a jolly, carefree bunch and had
a helluva big time. Now comes the
Junior Order State Convention, and
the biggest thrill that is planned for
the 500 delegates and visitors who
will attend the convention is boat
trip on the Steamer VanSciver down
to the light house at the mouth Of
the river. That may satisfy some of
the delegates but 1t is a safe bet
that boat trip will prove too tame
for the Junior Orderites and they
are going to find other means o.
turning loose the steam and enthu-
siasm that men usually store up for
a convention. But the Junior Order
has important business to tend to,
very important business, and they
will have no time for dancing and
cutting up in the opinion of local
leaders of the order.
The delegates will register Tues
day morning and after registration
they will have a parade in automo-
biles which will take the delegates
to Simons Creek and Halls Greek

Judge Holds
AIS Vieus On
Prohibition

A real dyed-in-the-wool Repub-
lican came out this week with a
statement which is in substance al
most exactly what Governor Smith
thinks about the Eighteenth Amend
ment, and it was no other than
Federal Judge 1. NJ. Meekins, who
is now holding court in New York
City.
Judge Meekins is regularly assign
ed to the Eastern District of North
Carolina. but because of his intoler-
ance for legal loopholes for boot
logging, for immunity for squealers,
for bargain days" and for perjury,
and because of the heavy penalties
he meteS out to violators of the
Eighteenth Amendment, he has at
tanned a place of prominence in
New York as the result of his three
appearances there as =. visiting
Judge.
IF the breakdown in the enforce
ment Of the VolStead Act is as gen.
eral throughout the country as it is
in New York the people would do
well to demand and obtain a change
in the whole situation. Present con-
ditions are far better than conditions
which prevailed in the old barroom
days throughout the country, but
! the conditions which prevail in New
York now are obviously far from sat-
iSfactory. If the breakdown thru
/ out the country were commensurate
with the breakdown in New York, it
would be far better for the govern
ment to manufacture and distribute
hard liquor on q cost plus 10 per
cent basis than to continue facing
such conditions" said Judge Meek
ingS.
} "If a change must come, and the
Government should manufacture
and distribute liquor under rigid
rules and restrictions laid down by
Congress on a plus 10 per cent basis
Immediately the nefarious traffic
in liquor will disappear because the
bootlecger will be unable to COM
pete on such small margin OF pro-
! fit and as soon as the prospect OF
profits fail the bootlegger will neces-
scriiy turn his attention TO some
thing else" he continued.
II regard every manufacture ano
sale of liquor" Judge Meekins said
in conclusion. not as a violation
of the law. but as defiance OF the
law and as a vicious stab at the
constitution itself"
