We have restricted permits in an ndeavor to shut out ‘xyps’ and the susiness agents who have developed hese propositions. We have asked he leaders of veterans' organizations 0 meet us in order to come to some tind of agreament. Most of the posts hat have conducted these affairs have lone them in an orderly and decent way. Some of them have been sim- »ly a ‘gyp’ proposition at which un- mpeakable things have taken place. “We believe a social gathering of winy type of organization held in the swpen air is a good thing, but the way hese block parties, carnivals, ete, 1ave been conducted, or attempted to se conducted, must he brought to the ittention of the public, and I would thank the press if it would send rep- resentatives to these gatherings and ‘hen tell the people just what they law at them.” In an attempt to stop so far as possible what Mr., Coler says is a *growing menace to public morals,’” ae has called officials of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars for a conference in his office in the Municipal Building, on Friday after- noon at 4 o'clock, to ask full coopera- ton in stamping out the evil. “I have received numerous com- plaints about these block parties some of which could not be made public,” said Mr, Coler. "I will say, however, that liquor is frequently sold with the result that women and young girls have been seen staggering about at these affaira. ‘“The time has come when this de- partment and the public at large should insist that at least outward de- tency be adherred to in obtalning moneys ofr welfare charity and church work. From an innocent type of com- munial gathering, these institutions have grown to be a disease and most demoralizing to the community. Pro- tessional accelerators, dealers in dolls and other novelties, games of chance, etc., approach organizations of all kinds—churches, veterans organiza- tion nurseries, etc, making proposi- tions to them to conduct block parties bazaars and carnivals on a pércentage or commission bas Sailors Superstitious When Lightning Hits Mast New York, June 27.—S8uperstitious seamen on the Finland which docked today maintained that a bolt of light- ning which struck the mizzen mast of the vessel yesterday while they were dumping five casks of beer over- beard was an omen of disapproval of such wilful waste, They sald they were emptying the beer to keep down thelr medicinal supplies to the re. quirements of the Britlsh board of trade.

She created some amusement py referring to the custom of American men to ‘‘undergo operations in full view of the public.’” She explained that these operations were malnly tonsorial and consisted of obtaining a shave or halrcut, or of being mani- cured. as POk The Logic of It “You have beautiful homes in Am- erica, and wonderful gardens,” she sald, ‘“‘And you buy beautiful auto- mobiles to take you away from them."
