0iIlt QlitIQis
We are sorry to write in this
column that some girl or boy has
been distributing false statements
and malicious gossip to a boy who
had a lot of confidence in his girl
friend. Through your untrue
statements you have almost caus-
ed a separation of a certain couple
I think the person who caused all
of this trouble should apologize
to the boy SO that he may again
resume cvonfidence in his girl.
You who told these false stories
about the girl should apologize to
her, because she feels very bad
that you have succeeded in telling
her boy friend all of there untrue
statements about her, and they
have just about parted. We are
asking you to apologize immediat-
ely. I am sure this boy and this
girl will excerpt your apology
without any argument. You
would also feel bad if someone &C
tually told false stories on you.
So do unto others as you would
have them do unto you'. Please
apologize to this girl and boy i'm
mediately.

Forgery:

Forgery:
I suppose you cats and chicks
do not realize that it is a peniten-
tiary offense to forge someone's
name. Just recently here was
some profane literature going a.
round and someone wrote another
girls name on it. Before you kids
write someone's name on anything
get the persons permission to
write his or her name on it. Please
don't stoop to forgery.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-lR-An In
cendiary, Explosive and War Gas
school was announced by the fire de-
partment today as an adjunct of the
city's fire college where firemen will
be trained in wartime fire and gas
fighting techniques.
One phase Of the new schools pro-
gram, said Fire Commissioner John
J. Mcelligott, would be to train all
firemen in the use of gas masks so
that they could instruct the civilian
population in the event of an emer-
gency.
I cannot emphasize too strongly"
Mcelligott added, that the establish
ment of this school is not an alarm
list gesture, but a routine procedure
to meet a situation which might
arise"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. Up -
George Hale, co-producer with AL

announced today that he had brought
suit to compel Jolson to reopen the
Broadway show, which closed last
night.
Hale said that Jolson, star Of the
show, insisted that the musical come
dy be closed until next season be-
cause he needed a rest. To prevent
this, Hale added, he had brought ac-
ton in supreme court claiming $780,
900 damages.
THAT puts $50 people out of
