OLD KEIL HOUSE HAS
PASSED Iff 0 HIM
Building 65 Years Old To Be
Tom Away—New Structure
On Site
COLUMBUS, March 10—The Neil
House which for more than a cen
tury has housed famous men and wo
men of Ohio and the nation and
whose registers are veritable pages
of history will colse its doors for
* ever March 20. April 1, work of
k 'demolishing the old structure will
F start. A new Neil House is to be
constructed on the site. It will cost
$4,000,000, and is expected to be
opened late in 1924.
The present building is about 65
years old, but William Neil’s first
tavern was built in 1822, on the same
site. In 1839 a more pretentious
hostelry was erected; Charles
Dickens on his American tour was a
guest under its roof and had some
thing to say about it in his American
Notes.
Nov. 6, 1860, the night of the day
of Lincoln’s first election to the
presidency, the second Neil House
was destroyed by fire and shortly
afterwards the present building was
constructed.
Fifteen presidents of the United
States have written their names on
Neil registers. Andrew Jackson was
the first. The signature of A. Lin
coln can be seen on the old books.
William Henry Harrison, U. S. Grant,
Rutherford B. Hayes, Grover Cleve
land, William McKinley, William H.
Taft, Theodore Rosevelt, Woodrow
Wilson, and Warren G. Harding are
some of the other chief executives
of the nation who slept under the
Neil’s roof. Five of these presidents
made the hotel their home during
lesser terms of office.
Additional famous signatures on
the old registers are' of scientists,
authors, actors, artists, and theolo
gians. William Dean Howell, was
frequently a guest. Othe r names in
clude Jenny Lind Louis Kossuth, Ad
miral Farragut, Salmon P. Chase,
General Winfield Scott, Phil Sheri
dan, Horace Greeley, Adelina Patti,
GETS RELIEF JUST IN TIME
Mrs? Mary Tarvin writes, “I was
bothered so much by roaches in my
kitchen, it was almost impossible for
me to cook—l was a nervous wreck!
—Finally, I heard of Royal Guaran
teed Roach Powder, used it and got
suddeh and complete relief. I feel
it was worth a hundred times what
it cost me.” 10c & 25c. Sold and

FLCGGINNG RECOMMENDED
FOR ALL WIFE BEATERS
BUFFALO, March 10’—The whip
ping post as a restraining influence
on wife-beaters is favored by the
probation officers of this city.
Their opinion was expressed during
the hearing recently of an excep
tionally brutal case. Serious mses
of v.'ifo-1.-eating in'which the Woman
carried the Marks for day's or weeks
average about 50 a.year in..this city,
and there are. frequent “repeaters.’'
‘Flogging is the only lumedy for
the e brutes” says Wiiltam*T. Glavin,
chief probation officer. ‘‘The lash is
being u. ed in Delaware and CaCnada,
and I would like to see it adopted
in New York.” .
Bad wihskey figured in most re
cent cases of wife-beating, the court
ree'ords show.

HORSESHOES NOT GAME
FOR AGED FOLKS
They used to refer to horseshoe
pitching as an old man’s game. '
But in these days of national trour
naments and scientifically construct
ed courts, youth is srue having its
fling.
Frank Lundin, 22, of New London,,
la., startled the world and became a
boy wonder last year when he took
the national horseshoe championship.
But youth demands still more.
Therefore, 16-year-old Harold Falor
of Akron, 0., lifted the crown from
Lundin recently.
Falor’s win was no fluke. Besides
Lundin he met and defeated ’•'rank
Jackson and C. C. Davis, former
champions, and Ralph Spencer, Okla
homa champion, to say nothing of a
big field of contestants.
SPANISH MAKES GREAT
HEADWAY IN COLLEGES
According To Report To Pan-
American Union By Its Di
rector Os Education
WASHINGTON, March 10.—More
than 56,000 persons are studying
Spanish in 404 out of the 612 uni
versities and colleges listed by the
United States Bureau of Education,
according to a report submitted to
the Governing Board of the Pan
American Union by the Assistant Di
rector in charge of the section of
Education, Francisco J. Yanez.
The report points out the constant
increase of students of Spanish in
this country, the total given not n
cluding normal or secondary schools
where the study of Spanish is obliga
tory. Columbia University heads the
list with 3,000 students, followed by
the University of Texas with 1,640
and the University of Illinois with
1,342. Altogether, eight universi
ties have over 1,000 students of
Spanish. There were practically no
Spanish courses in any of them five
years ago.
Interchange of professors with the
Latin American Universities and
scholarships for Latin American stu
dents are among the measure , pro
posed by Senor Yanez as part of ac
comprehensive plan to encourage a
closer cooperation between the high
er institutions of learning of this
country and Latin America. Already
Committees of Teachers are being
organized through his efforts in the
Latin American countries as a cen
tral information office for the stu
dents and teachers who wish to
come to the United States.
Before the war virtually all La
tin America sent its students and
teachers to the schools and colleges
of Europe but a reaction in favor
of this country took place, the num
ber of Latin American students in
the United States having multiplied
several times since 1919.

HAVE ASSISTED 27.500
CONVICTS INTO JOBS
This Is What Has Been Accom
plished By lhe Central
Howard Association
CHICAGO, March 10.—Eleven
■ hundred convicts, discharged or pa
: roled from penitentaries, were as-
I sisted on to the right road by the
1 Central Howard Association, of this
| city during 1922, according to he
annual report made public by the as
i sociation. In addition to this 500
I boys under 19 years of age were
| guided and helped and legal aid was
| provided for 400 additional men ac
cused of crime but who had no f iend
at court or were without adequate re
sources to obtain their legal rights.
This brought the total applicants
aided in the 22 year of the Associa
tion’s life to 27,500, and the average
cost per applicant in this length of
tiem was $9.69.
A significant part of the report is
| the notation of the earning capacity
of the men assisted in 1921. In that
year, according to the report, 208
paroled men worked a total of 19,610
days and earned $126,581, an aver
age of $4.56 a day. “In other words
one-sixth of the men aided that year
| earned eight times the association’s
‘ entire income,” says the report.
The Central Howard association
is named after John Howard who was
sheriff at Bedford, Eng., in 1773, and
who is known as the father of mod
ern prison improvement. Its field
■is confined to the Central and West
ern States and its method is more in
dividual than collective. It acts as
I ‘first friend” to paroled men and
serves as the mediator between the
public and the man who has gone
wrong, but who wants to get right.
I Practical employment is Obtained for
i the man, also working tools, clothing
I shelter and food.
| The objects of the association go
i farther than this, however. It aims to
obtain modern, wholesome jails; rea-
I lize more efficient action in courts;
I establish the principle or reforma
i lion in correctional institutions gild
I work for prevention of crime by bet
iter supervision of offenders while oft
I probation artd parole. The officers
iof the association are: George W.
I Dixon, president and F. Emory Lyon,
(Founder and Superintem.vnt, both
I of Chicago.
