CIVILIZATION IN VIRGINIA

What is civilization, anyway? Does it merely depend upon industry, pro- duction, wealth; or does it include a definable something else?
 One is stimulated into a thought ful frame of mind upon digesting the statements of Louis I. Jaffe, editor of the Norfolk Virginian- re- garding the state of civilization in Virginia. That wasn't the formal title of his address, given before fellow Virginia editors, but that was the substance.
 As several southern states have felt the Achilles heel of industrial advancement considerably more than Virginia. and as Virginia so far has escaped some of the evils of the transformation evident in these other southern states, one cannot help concluding that civilization in the South must be something like what H. L. Mencken claims for it.

The fact of the matter is we antici-

delay buying new coats. Now we
must pay the penalty for our opti-

take our medicine. If you have any
idea of buying coat this season the
sale prices we've put on our whole

need coat this season, the savings
will make it wise economy to buy

We are determined to make clean

SOLDIER, SENTENCED,
FACES new CHARGES
James F. Abrams, Convicted of
Desertion, Jailed to Await
Larceny Hearing.

James Franklin Abrams of New York
City, who was sentenced to two years
in Fort Leavenworth for desertion from
the United States Army, was commit
ted to jail yesterday on the order of
Judge John P. Mcmahon of Police

ness in Police Court, said he met

came friends when Abrams declared
that he was a resident of Gaininny's
native city of Charlottesville, Va.
An identification card bearing Gain
1nny's home address and various per-
sonal items were given to Abrams so
that he might write his friend, who
was planning to return to his home.
Before Gaininny left. however, it is
claimed, Abrams declared he was
broke" and as they passed telegraph
ONCE said he was going to wire home
for money. Later the money arrived
and for a few hours the men attended
theaters and other places of amuse-
ment. While attending one production
Abrams walked out and did not return.
Gaininny went to his home, he said,
to discover that his friend had secured
the money not from his own home, but
had wired Gaininny's mother, who, be-
lieving that her son was i'll, immedi-
ately sent the money, it was testified
Abrams informed Judge John P. Nc
Mahon that he had lived in New York
and had wife and baby, whom he
wished to bring here. A portion of the
money had been used for that purpose,
he said. His young wife appeared in
court.
Policeman j. W. Carroll informed
the court that Abrams had deserted
from the Army, had been arrested in
Galveston, Tex, as a suspicious char
acter and had been sentenced to serve
two years.
