ness and professional men will be
asked to take part. There will not
be a woman in it! To be sure there
will be a bride but "she" will not be
of the weaker sex and her attendants
will be gorgeous to look upon in their
dainty gowns, picture hats and high
heeled slippers. BY magic touch OF
lip-stick, rouge, and eyebrow pencil
men will be transformed into beautl-
full girls, stately matrons and vamp-
ing tiappers The only way to be-
lieve it is to see it.
The "Womanless Wedding" is be-
ing staged all over this section this
season and reports come from other
towns that packed houses greeted
it both nights. 1t is a rollicking
comedy that fairly bristles with COM
edy stunts rich and rare as the cast
appears in many startling roles. A
director from the SympSon-Levie Co
will soon arrive to begin work on the
production.

Wednesday, April 17> and IS, for men
only, is all the name implies. 1t Is
direct thrust at mock-modesty and
prudery which holds so many peo-
pie in bondage through their youth
and early adult life, only to bring
them to the rude awakening of their
own ignorance.
1t savors of the Ben Lindsey type
of combating disease and false prud-
cry, and is frank in it's method of
showing that ignorance is not inno-
cense, that the safest way to educate
the youth is to have him educated to
the dangers that lurk through all the
paths of life.
'The Natural Law" is made for the
purpose of stressing the dangers
which are present. Cases shown have
been taken from hospitals and clinics
and are used to illustrate the points
brought out. The picture will be
shown to segregated groups, men and
women separately.

WEATHER KNOCKS
Elk PROPOSITION.
WALTON LEAGUE VERY MUCH
DISAPPOINTED IN NOT BEING
ABLE TO STOCK THE SUPERIOR
WITH ELK THIS SPRING-BAR-
ING OF GROUND FROM SNOW
MAKES 1T IMPOSSIBLE.

Word has Just been received from
the Superintendent Of the 1tasca
State Park that it will be impossible
to catch and crate the ten elk for
the Ely Chapter. of the Izaac Walton
League as planned on account OF the
early spring thaw and the failure OF
the big elk to drop their antlers.
Crates had been made and trans
ported across the lake to the elk pas
ture where it was expected to catch
and crate ten of these fire animals
for liberation in the Superior National
Forest near Ely. The Ely Chapter OF
the Izaac Walton League had collect
ed money for the Elk Fund from the
businessmen and sportsmen of Ely
as we'll as having received a donation
from the Commercial Club towards
this project. A barn in Ely had been
secured and made in readiness for the
elk They were to have been Kept in
this barn until such time as the roads
were open to the district south of Ely
where a temporary corral was in the
making to keep the elk until they
would have settled down and rested
from their trip.
1t is with keen disappointment that
word was received that no elk could
be had this spring. However, plans
will carry on and it is hoped that next
spring at this time it will be possible
to catch and transport group Of
these fine animals to the Ely district.
Following is copy of the letter as
received from Mr.. E. A. Under, Sup
erintendent of the Itasca State Park:
ION account of the fact that warm
weather came so early this spring
and thawed the lake, and due to the
snow having left the ground before
the male elk lost their antlers, I am
indeed sorry to report that we have
been unable to get any elk this spring.
Although we have had requests for
fifteen elk, and owing to their wild
nature we did not dare to excite them
by catching any part Of them until
we could load them all, as it would
then be impossible to get the balance
in the corral.
However, when we became salts
fed that the males would not lose
their antlers until after the lake had
become unsafe over which to trans.
port them, we tried to get some fe-
males and young elk, but owing to
the fact that feed in the pasture had
become SO good that it was impos-
sible to get them in the corral, we
could do nothing We spent n arly
week trying to get them.
81 know you will be terribly disap-
pointed, but I assure you that we have
done everything we could to I'LL your
request for elk"

HEAD LIGHT
TESTING STATIONS NAMED

With the coming of spring and
more general use of the highways at
night, police in many sections of the
state have begun close check OF
automobile headlights. Under the
law passed by the last Legislature,
standards for testing automobile
lights have been established by the
State Highway department, and the
uniform tests being made at the Of
fetal lamp adjusting stations make
enforcement of the law against glar-
ing lights easier than formerly.
More than thirty garages in various

mated official testing stations by Com
missioner G. M Babcock Ely has no
station as yet, and the nearest sta
ton 70 this city is the Virginia Nash
Motor Co. at Virginia.
A number of applications from 9TH
er stations are pending and these
will be added to the list when their
premises and equipment have been
approved. The rules of the High
way department require these sta
tions to lave a room with a level
floor, large enough so that cars can
be stopped Is feet from the testing
screen, and SO arranged that they
can be darkened any time. A licens-
ed adjuster must be employed. To
date 204 men have taken the two Cay
courses arranged under the direction
of Dunwoody Institute anG passed the
required examinations.
The Minnesota traffic law requires
that all motor vehicles on The high
ways at night have lights which Will
illuminate the roadway 200 feet ahead,
but they must not be glazing or daz-
cling. A person arrested on charge
of having improperly adjusted lights
shall have ferty-eight hours to pro-
duce certificate to show that his
lights have been properly adjusted.
Where no testing station is close at
hand, car owners may test their
lights by stopping on the level road
on foggy night and turning on the
lights. If no part of the main beam
rises above horizontal plane pas
sing through the lamp centers paral-
lei with the road, the lights ar prob
ably o. K. but if the main beam
points upward, the lamps should be
adjusted as quickly as possible. Near
ly all garagemen can make tests and
adjustments, but only officially APP
pointed adjusters can issue certifi-
Gates which have any standing with
the police or the courts.
Properly adjusted lights not only
promote safety but they make night
driving much more pleasant

Chicago Milliner Local
Condemns Zaritsky

CHICAGO, April 20-By an almost
unanimous vote, Millinery Local At,
Of the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union, at a recent member
ship meeting here passed a resolution
of protest in which it condemned the
strikebreaking activities of Interna-
tional Union President Max Zaritsky,
who removed the militant leadership
of the Chicago capmakers' strike be-
cause they had carried on a bitter
struggle against the piece-work sys-
TEN.
The resolution of protest was car
ried despite the fact that Zaritsky
himself, together with several other
right wing members of the national
general executive board, came to the
meeting especially prepared to rail-
road resolution of endorsement of
his action. In spite of organizational
preparations for a favorable result
to his proposals, Zaritsky was COM
PEELED to leave the meeting whipped
by the membership, who declared that
his action endorsed the lockout made
by the employers association when
they demanded the piece-work sys-
TEN.
]. p. Salzburg, the manager of the
Chicago Joint Board, whom Zaritsky
is trying to depose, was accorded a
demonstration by the membership
when he rose to answer Zaritskys
charges. The meeting stormed with
applause when he reiterated his accu-
sations made in recent memorandum
to the local of the union, that the
right wing in control of the union was
definitely planning to remove the pro-
gressivo leadership of every militant
local in the organization, because they
will conduct q bitter struggle against
the presidents plans to grant the
bosr7s the piece-work system.

The united front of the jackson

Workmen's Circle is utilizing every
energy to make success of special
May Day celebration in the Florida
city. The action of the three southern
workers societies comes after a long
period of inactivity which they declare
has now been permanently left be-
hind them.
A special feature of the May Day
celebrations in Jacksonville will be
the distribution of the May Day edi-

is to have special section devoted ex-
clusively to events in that city.
A large number of copies of the
May Day DAILY WORKER have
been ordered from New York and a
great effort will be made to dis
tribute them among the workers of
Jacksonville.
Besides their activity in resurrect-
ing the workers clubs in jacksonville,
the members of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party there have been busy
in securing subscriptions for their
paper and aiding by contributions to
the defense fund. An honor roll con-
tanning the names of the contributors
to the defense fund will be published
