FORMING MILITARY COMPANY.
GADSDEN, ALA . Nov. 29. Dr. A.
Burns, veteran of the Spanish-Amer
ican War, has begun the organiza
tion of a military company
den.
Quite the most attractive appeal yet
made in the name of Christmas char
ity was that of a certain shop win
dow on Whitehall street just beyond
Hunter Saturday. Few people pass
ed without at least a lingering glance.
Hundreds went W'ithin the shop to
look more closely, or to buy.
The window held daintily dressed
dolls and other articles whoso pri
mary appeal was to women. The. dolls
had been dressed and the other arti
cles made by members of the Young
Girls’ Club of Inman Park, who were
Barrett, j in lhe s h 0 p all day waiting on callers.
They made an alluring and effective
corps of saleswomen, and the purse
of their treasurer was fat with the
day’s receipts when the shop was
closed lute Saturday afternoon.
The club is made up of girls and
women who live in the Inman T’ark
section and who have done consid
erable charity work. The proceeds
of yesterday’s bazaar will be devoted
to the Empty Stocking Fund and to
other charities of Christmas time. Re
nt" Gads- 1 cently benefactions made by the girls
j of the club have been a donation of
$25 to the Industrial Home for the

CHICAGO, Nov.| 29
prudish old maid.'
That is the opinion of the Wom
en’s National Council after viewing
in a theate* in New York a series of
films that Chicago had barred as Im
proper.
The activities of Second Deputy of
Police M. L. C. Funkhouser and of
Sergeant Jeremiah J. O’Connor In
putting in jasil a woman w*ho went
bathing in bloomers without a skirt,
in arresting and fining an art dealer
for displaying tlie picture "September
Morn" in his window, in barring va
rious moving picture films which did
not fit their ideas of morality—all
these are merely in answer to what
Chicago people demand.
Easy to Shock Chicago.
But in New York an audience made
u-« almost entirely of women sit
through a long exhibition the oth^r
day at which w*ore shown only pic
tures barred from Chicago.
"What in the world is the matter
with these pictures?" the women de
manded when they had seen them.
"It must be very easy to shock Chi
cago.”
Miss Kate Davis, chairman of the
committee on motion pictures of the
National Council of Women, took the
films which Chicago had condemned
and had charge of the exhibition in
New York. The women in the audi
ence applauded many of the pictures
which Chicago had rejected as im
pure.
One picture showed a water fight
among a score of little boys, and the
women laughed delightedly. Chicago
had refused it because the little fel
lows wore no bathing suits.
Toe Dancer Rejected
Another showed the 1 eautiful steps
of a toe dancer.
"Why in the world did Chicago ob
ject to that?” asked a woman.
"Chicago doesn’t permit toe danc
ing in pictures." explained Miss Davis.
"I wonder what Chicago would do
if anyone put m. a film showing a
tango tea,” murmured the woman.
"It never would be seen,” Miss Da
vis explained. "Out there they sim
ply will not allow the modem dances
shown.”
"Isn’t that funny!”
Another picture was a scene from
an Igorrot© village, where a cluster of
huts stood in front of a grove of co-
coanut trees. In the foreground was
a dinner party. The father stirred i
pot over a fire and the whole family
reached in with flngess and took out
bits of food and fete it.
"What was the matter with that
one?” demanded a woman. "They
have on clothes and they’re not danc
ing, and it’s most interesting. Why
did Chicago bar that one?"
Because it is dog they are cooking
in that pot,” explained Miss Davis,
while the entire audience laughed.
One picture showed a grave-rob
bing scene, in which the body of a
beautiful girl is taken from a coffin
and carried away in a taxi. That was
barred. Miss Davis explained, because
Chicago was afraid it w^uld teach
Chicago hoys to become grave rob
bers.
Laugh at Censorship. .
Train hold-ups, safe blowings and
all manner of happenings of every
day life, of which everyone reads ’n
the papers, were shown, but Chicago
had barred them all on the ground
that they "teach crime."
The National Council of Women is
working toward a full and sane cen
sorship of all films, but it had to
laugh at the attitude Chicago has as
sumed toward pictures which found
only favor before the committee of
women.
ALBANY, Nov. 29.- Randolph
Shaffer, a well-known business man
of Albany, was seriously injured when
an automobile he was driving to New
ton turned a complete somersault.
Mr. Shaffer w'as driving at about
35 miles an hour when he met some
negroes. As he turned to pass them
his car struck a sand bed. causing it
to skid and tur.n turtle. The negroes
picked up the injured man and car
ried him to Newton, where first aid
was given. A local physician rushed
to the scene, where it was found that
Mr. Shaffer had fractured his left
arm, broken his nose, suffered sev
eral severe scalp wounds, bruised his
left hip, hurt his jaw and received
other minor injuries. A piece of glass
penetrated his skull, but not deep
enough to cause serious injury. He
was later brought to an Albany hos
pital.
Woman Lawyer Acts
As Cook’s Prosecutor
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Women
lawyers frequently try cases in the
District of Columbia courts, but sel
dom do they display the militancy
shown to-day by Mrs. Stephen Lyd
dane, who acted as an assistant pros
ecuting attorney against a negro cook
charged with stealing $28 from her
mistress.
After Mrs. Lyddane had spent con
siderable time examining a witness
she said:
"You’re the biggest liar that ever
set foot in that box."
Mrs. Lyddane obtained a convic

GREAT FIGHT Tl
Powerful European Interests Plan
to Squeeze Out Americans
From That Country.
By C. F. BERTELLI.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Nov. 29.—Europe is on the
eve of effecting a corner In Colom
bia's oil supply which will effectively
squeeze out the Americans in that
country If it goes through.
Apart from the highly important
concession of state petroleum lands
to the Pearson interests which the
Colombian Congress is about to be
asked to ratify, privately owned oil
properties of great value also are
going Into the hands of European
business men.
General Burgos. one of the
wealthiest Colombians, is now in
Paris negotiating with large finan
cial interests of Belgium a close al
liance with the Belgian Government
for the exploitation of his enormous
oil deposits.
It is recognized here that the effort*
of General Burgos to come to terms
with Belgian interests and the fact
that several other important groups
of European capitalists ara trying to
get oil concessions constitute
danger to American interests.

burn and Dyspepsia—
It’s Great!
When your meals don’t fit com
fortably, or what you eat lies like a

indigestion.
Get from your pharmacist a 50-
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take a dose just as soon as you can.
There will be no sour risings, no
belching of undigested food mixed
with acid, no stomach gas or heart
burn, fullness or heavy feeling in the
stomach; nausea, debilitating head
aches, dizziness or intestinal griping.
This will all go. and, besides, there
will he no sour food left over in the
stomach to poison your breath wit.a
nauseous odors.
Pape’s Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out-of-order stomachs, because it
takes hold of your food and digests it
just the same as if your stomach
wasn’t there.
Relief in five minutes from all
stomach misery is waiting for you at
any drug store.
These large 50-cent cases contain
enough "Pape’s Diapepsin” to keep
the entire family free from stomach
disorders and indigestion for many
months. It belongs in your home.—-
