I meant no reflection on Mi

Howell said:
absence in Panama in
January a police raid was made oil
» certain downtown rooming hotel.
The Constitution next morning lo
cally reported the ifTnir and the fact
that a man and his wife were sub
jected to undue treatment, with com
ment from the inadvertent victims
and the manager of the hotel.
“When I returned from Panama the
<’hief complained of the local report
referred to. I explained to him that
nothing was further from our inten
tion than to discredit his work, and
that following The Constitution’s oft-
repeated commendation of his high
sense of duty in endeavoring to en
force the law*, he would have our cor
dial support to that end
"He thanked me. recalling the fact
that two days after the houses were
closed I had sent for him to tell him
that his attitude would have The Con
stitution’s support
“Next morntne—September 26 The
<Constitution’s leading editorial. "A
Wholesome Example.” unqualifiedly
approved the Chief as an official with
the nerve and th* courage to enforce
the law,’ stating that ‘he has set a
singularly wholesome example of a
blunt interpretation of duty.’
”1 am still of the opinion that no
good citizen would invite the return
of the segregated district, nor the
spread .if its attendant evil In other
directions. In my talk with the Chief
1 expressed my doubt as to his ability
to absolutely eliminate the evil, and
while the segregated district has been
closed we are still wrestling with
other phases of the problem.

he can. and he should have the sup

Motion Picture Show
Takes Place of Nurse.
Out In West End women with small
children have solved a problem. They
have learned how to get along with
out nurses. Of course those with ba
bies are not so fortunate, but the ones
whose youngsters can run about are
reaping the reward of Ingeniousness.
Now when a mother wants to go to
the matinee or shopping in town she
doesn't have- to call in mother-in-law
or a neighbor to look after the chil
dren until she gets back. The plan
is much more simple and gives gen
eral satisfaction. She takes them to
a motion picture show.
It should lie known, of course, that
West End boasts a full-fledged
"movie” show. The children go in
droves every day and the proprie
tor must be an all-fired generous soul
because- the kiddies Just stay and
stay and stay. He never asks them to
go out. And that is the real secret
of the scheme taken advantage of by
the mothers.
Mrs. West End decides that she
wants to go shopping. She washes
and dresses Bobbie and Harry and
tier!rude and escorts them lo the pic
ture show. She pays 15 cents and the
three young ones hike in to see the
show And there they stay Mrs.
West End goes to town, travels from
one store to another until exhausted
and returns homeward. She stops at
the picture show and there is Bobbie
and Harry and Gertrude still gazing
in speechless ecstasy at the pictures
on the screen.
What matters it if they have seen
the same films half a dozen times
that afternoon? They get just as
much fun out of it as if they ob
served them for the first time. Mrs.
West End calls her darlings and they
all return home. Mamma is satisfied,
the yungsters are decidedly so and
Mr. Picture Man evidently is. because
next time he is Just as smiling as ever.

take out No. 210 Monday night, but
failed to appear at the scheduled time.

voluntary flight is scouted by his
