Most Exclusive Club
Chicago..—That women, very promi
nent in society, had carried liquor into
the Casino Club, exclusive meeting
place of the “gold coast” society, in
violation of State and Federal laws,
was the substance of reports made
Tuesday by Federal investigators
This club, whose roster carries the
naraes.of men and women known all
over the country and in European cap
itals, is endeavoring to purge itself of
“harem parties” and similar debauch
ery at which liquor flows freely—quite
too freely for the morals and general
demeanor of the participants Three
members have been expelled for stag
ing these affairs.
In connection with the disclosures in
the Casino Club, an officer of Lake For
est Tuesday told prohibition directors
of the mad pace of the petted sons and
daughters of thv very wealthy North
Shore residents. He related in par
ticular a beach party staged last sum
mer in which a large number of these
young folk from multimillionaire fami
lies disported themselves in the lake
absolutely nude. The affair created a

Priest Warns Constitu
tion Is Sacred in U. S.
. -
Washington.—A warning to states
men and lawmakers not to meddle
with the Constitution of the United
States was given here today by,Res.
VVm. F. McGinnis, of Krooklyo, who
preached the sermon at the thirteenth
annual Pan-American mass.
“If to lighten taxes no other plan be
available nut to take from Congress
the power 'to provide and maintain a
navy,’ thea the eighth section -of the
Constitution must stand and we will
cheerfully pay the raxes,” declared Dr^
McGinnis.
The priest further declared that the
fourth section of the Constitution, de
signed to protect the American home
from unreasonable searches and seiz
ures, should stand, even if it is neces- j
sary to repeal the eighteenth amend- \
meat.
Siren Whistles Will
Protect Canada Banks
Hamilton, Ont.—The Bank of Ham
ilton has decided to install burglar
electric siren alarms on the outside of
their lid branches in Canada,
The siren is attached to the wall on
the outside, two stories up. The in
terior of the bank is wired with many
electric buttons biddon in secret places,
and if a robbery is attempted the staff
push their buttons and the alarm auto
matically shrieks warning on the
street.
Bandit alarms have been considered
by the bankers’ association since the
■eceot holdups here, and it is lender- j
stood that all Canadian banks will |
adopt the alarm. Thera are te,n thou
sand branch banks in Canada.
Man’s Many Woes.
Man, born of woman, is small pota
toes and few in the hill. He comes into
this world without his consent and
goes out against bts will, and the tax
collector pursues him adl the way down
the trail.
When be is little the big girls kiss
him. and when he is big the little girls
kiss him. if he is poor he is a bad
manager, and if ha is rich he is a
crook. If he is .prosperous everybody
wantc to do him a favor; if he needs
credit they hand him a lemon.
If he is id politics it is for graft; if
out of politics, he is no good to bis
country. lf*he doesn’t give to charity j
he’s ft tightwsd; if he does, it’s fori
show. If he is actively religious he’s
a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in j
religion he's a heathen.
If he is affeetionate he’s a soft mark;
if he cares for no one he is cold-blood- !
ed. If he dies young he had a great!
future; if he lives to an old age he 1
missed his calling. j
If you don’t 'fight you’re yellow;, if ;
you do. you’re a brute.
If you save your money you’re a j
miser; if you spend it you’re a loafer, j
If you get it you’re a grafter; if you i
don’t get it you’re a bum.
And that isn’t all. According to the !
sky-pilots nine-tenths of us have to go
to hell yet.—Ex.
