METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Favorable Report Is Made On Dyer's Bill The Judiciary Committee Springs A Surprise Senntors And Workers At Washington Believed Adverse Report Would Be Made On Anti-Lynchng Bill. Borah Only Republican To Vote Against It Reed of Missouri Also On Opposition. N. A. A. C. P. And Equal Rights League Deserve Much Credit. TULSA NEGRO IS CANDIDATE FOR OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE Running on Anti-Mob and a Uniform Tax Platform. Has Good Chance of Being Republican Regular Nominee. Washington, D.C., July 5 Thr. Judiciary Committee of the Senate has reported the Dyer Lynching Bill favorably. The action was made much to the surprise of the Senate and Washington public because it was known for several weeks, that an adverse report on the bill was the most likely action to be taken by the Judiciary committee on the measure. The Herrin, Illinois outrages are declared to have been the immediate cause for this radical change of front of the committee. Senator Borah of the sub-committee having in charge the bill voted against its favorable report. The Republican members of the committee Brandagee Cummings, Colt, Stirling, Ernest Shortage, and Nel on voted for the report Cumberson, Overman, Reed, Shields and Walsh voted with Borah against favorabl action. Senator Borah's opposition is declared, by him, to be on the grounds that it is his belief that the Supreme Court will declare the measure unconstitutional if it is adopted by Congress in its present form. It looks as if the Senate is in for a hot fight on the question TULSA NEGRO IS CA FOR OKLA Running on Anti-Mob Platform. Has Good publican Reg Tulsa, Oklahoma, July 3 — E. N. Bryant, a colored man of this city is a candidate for Representative from Tulsa County to the State Legislature. There is a large Negro vote in the county and with a split in the white vote, opinion is freely expressed that Bryant has a good chance of being the regular Republican nominee from Tulsa County. He is making his race on the following platform: A Regulated Uniform Tax System, A Reduced Tax; A Regulated School System; A Regulated Gas Rate; in keeping with their Franchise; A Homestead Tax Exemption up to and under $1000 00; A Banking System that will help the poor man; A Reduction in the Rail Road Fare and Freight A considerable number of Republicans are known to be against the adoption of a national antilynching measure at this time, believing, they aver, that it will serve no public good in the state of the general public's mind, although it is known that there is a substantial Southern sentiment expressing its favor for the adoption of some legislative instruments that will serve as a check on the mob practices of their section. That the N. A. A. C. P. and the Equal Rights League deserves the great credit for the fight they have put up for the favorable position now held by the bill is now conceded on all sides here. The executives of these organizations voice their intention of going to the mat on the question by carrying the fight to the floor of the Senate. Every Republican Senator is to be tagged on the position he takes when the final voting takes place. No one can forecast with certainty, the final outcome. There appears to be powerful interests opposed to national action in the Senate in this particular instance. No one can point the influence, but it seems to be around. But the fight is on, nevertheless.

TROPOLIS, ILLINOIS FRIDAY JULY 21. 1922 Please allow space in your newsy sheet to say to the constituents of the General Missionary Baptist Association of Illinois, that it is just twenty six days from our great rally in Golconda, for our Aged Ministers' Home which convenes on the 30th of July, which is the fifth Sunday. I have been looking for the S. S.' churches, B. Y. P. U.'s. Mission Societies and especially the Agents to make their financial reports to me for the Home, but all of them seem to have gone to sleep and forgotten their obligation for the Home. My Brethren, are you not willing to help me bear the burden that should lay heavy on each of our hearts? I did not want to say what I am about to say, but the neglegence of my brethren forces me to say, that I put myself in debt $348.50 Three Hundred Forty-eight Dollars and Fifty Cents to make our State Association able to purchase our Aged Minisiters' Home without one iota of security. We adjourned on May the 26, 1922. And from this entire State, I received $12 80. Brethren this is not in accord with our big speeches on the floor of the Association at Centralia, last May. I ask that you begin to relieve me of this mighty burden so I can at least, have some sleep. I am not unmindful of the great work you helped to do in purchasing the property, but we had better not purchased than to have done so, then take our seat and lose both our effort and money. I will be glad to get a letter from some brother or sister, if it only contains one dollar. I am asking that Dr. C H. Clark of Chicago, will prepare himself to be the principal speaker at the eleven o'clock hour on the 30th inst. Our slogan is $1,500.00 that day. I am asking all who read this article to please send me one dollar at once for the Home. ter of ceremonies at the Emancipation Celebration. We consider this an honor to recieve such an invitation. The unsettled condition of the country may prevent us from attending the affair. Ours is to serve the Race after all. It is said, he who serves his fellowman most, serves God best. Be that as it may, we are the servant of the people, and we get a deal of real satisfaction and pleasure out of it after all. Thirty Lynched In Six Months List Comprised By Monroe N.

Work, in charge that in the first six months of 1922 there were 30 lynchings.

Eleven of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape and nineteen were charged with other offenses. Five of those put to death were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and their bodies were burned. The states in which lynchings occurred and no. in each state are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas 2; Florida, 1; Georgia, 4; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi 7; South Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 1, and Texas, 12. Mrs. Robert R. Church Dies In Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C. July 12 Mrs. Robt. R. Church, of Memphis, Tennessee, who was ill for several months died here Monday, July 3. Some time ago Mrs. Church, who before her marraige to Robert R. Church was a resident of Washington underwent an operation at John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimoore. Her condition seemed to improve, but in recent weeks those closest to her noted a change. Robert R. Church, his mother and sister, were in constant attendance at the beside of Mrs. Church whose death was a shock to the entire community, and in Memphis, the sad news could hardly be believed. Mrs. Church, who at a great personal sacrifice, has been in Washington, several months voluntarily assisting in shaping political affairs in behalf of the race, has received word of sympathy from every part of the United States. Mrs. Church was a most lovable, disposition, and was greatly interested in charity and racial welfare.

Help in the Rally the Fifth Sunday For Old Ministers' Home Located at Golconda, Ill. Recently purchased by the General Baptist State Adsociation of Ill., for $20,000,00. Mr. August Quante, one of the oldest and best known white citizens of Metropolis and Massac county, died at his home on Metropolis Street, early Sunday night after a short confinement. He was one of the leading financial spirits of the city and Massac County. He was the president of the First National Bank and had held that position for a number of years, he also was elected and served as Mayor of the city and made one of the best offices the city ever had. He was easily approached at any time, was congenial and the most polite man in city. The Negro always received employment and fair treatment at his hands. With the passing away of Mr. Quante, the city looses one of its most spirited business men. The Gazette is in sympathy with his children and relatives. Peace to his ashes. He was buried Wednesday b. th. Masons. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` It is not so much in what you say about paying for the Old Ministers' Home, but what you give in dollars and cents that will count in the Rally the Fifth Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Baptist. We are depending on your dollar, don't be too small at heart to give to the cause. Shall we be disappointed in you? Surely not. Mr. and Mrs. Baptist, you have been boasting of taking the world for Christ. Just help take Illinois, and you will have done a big thing and you can do that by sending up a freewill offering of $1 for the 5th Sunday rally at Golconda. The corner house owned by Mrs F.H.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL When You're Nervous You'll Find Dr. Miles' Medicines at your Drug Store. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Special The Baptist throughout the United States are making a determined effort to pay the ten thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars, which they owe on their Seminary and Training School at Nashville. Dr. Edward P. Jones, for the last seven years president of the Convention, said just before leaving Evanston for the South where he has been invited by the Baptist that every indication points to the Convention at Nashville in September as the most constructive in all the denomination in history. Our aim and purpose to put over a program emphasizing the importance of Christian Education and the spreading of the Gospel must appeal to every right thinking man and woman throughout the country. The slogan at Nashville in September will be "Every Baptist a doer and lifting as we climb." He is spending this week in North Carolina and goes from there to attend the Louisiana State Convention at Baton Rouge. Rev. Thos. Morris, was at his post at Bronfieald Sunday.

Please find an order for the dollar I promised on the Home for Ministers. Wishing you success, Mr. Hamilton is a friend to the cause and can see good in every good thing that the Lord has to do with, May the Lord continue to prosper this good A. M. E. lady. Another A. M. E. lady speaks. "Dr. Phillips shake my hand That is the dollar I promised you, I had good luck, and did not have to wait the 30 days. May the Lord bless you. Mrs. Ho-son, lives in Carbondale, she claims Bro. Phillips, as her expastor if she does belong to the A. M. E. church. Dr. Phillips, I may not be able to come to the 5th Sunday meeting. Here is another dollar. Sister A. B. Bolden of Murphysboro. She is a liberal giver; May the Lord continue to bless her. Carbondale, Ill., July 6, '22. Dear Dr. Phillips, I have in mind the 5th Sunday meeting in Golconda, I hope to be able so be there on that day. Every Baptist should either come or send one dollar that their names may be seen on the Ledger. Yes, that our children may see what we did for them. Yours truly Lillian Hayes. Sister Hayes, is the first to contribute. She did it when times were hard in that city. She said Brother Phillips, as long as the Lord enables me to work I can always find something for Him. God loves a cheerful giver. American Baptist Publication Society, Chester, Pa. July 4, 22. Dear Bro. Phillips: The letter reads among other things; "Only to-day in looking through the current issues of Illinois Baptist" I discovered a picture and descriptive article concerning an Old preachers' Home recently established in Golconda. This institution ought to be listed in the Year Book, and I enclosed herewith a blank used for gathering such data. Kindly fill out and send me at your earliest convenience, etc. Very sincerely yours, Dr. W. P. Throgmorton, Editor of Illinois Baptist, asked us to send the picture of the Home and also our cut, and he would publish same in the paper; and he did it. Newspapers are great factors for good. Our people for the most part seem to not recognize this fact. They should acquaint themselves with the Race Journals. Take them and pay for them Carrier Mills, Ill., July 8th, Elder C. C. Phillips, Dear Bro. Phillips, find here, with inclosed the dollar I promised on our Home for the aged Ministers. May the Lord bless you in the work. John L. Taborn. CALL ON U. S. FOR SUPPLIES Various Countries Are Asking Uncle Sam to Provide All Sorts of Merchandise. Have you any chrysoprase or varislets to sell? If so, write the Department of Commerce, foreign trade division. Dr. Julius Klein, the director, has requests for 'em on his desk from Australia. If you don't know what they are, they are precious stones. Our South American neighbors in Brazil are more prosaic in their wants. They are asking for sanitary drinking fountains. Canada wants moving-picture machines and wireless telephone sets. With the Volstead act putting a crimp in the business over here, anybody with a left-over stock of bongs and bung pegs can find a ready market for them in England. The British also want garbage cans. Ditto above. The French are asking for oak casks. Ditto again. Chille asks for corks. The prohibition bureau, with an eye to business, might fill the order from Mexico for alcohol distilling plants by shipping down some of the wildcat stills seized over the country. Evidently all the Italian boot-blacks are not over here. There's a request from Italy for shoe polish. Musical instruments are in demand in Palestine and Spain. The canny Scots want calculating machines. Poor old Siberia would like a square meal of dried fruits and vegetables and prepared milk. Notice of Change of Policy of this Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc. Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news. All papers, Obituaries, Programs, Resolutions, Essays, Sermons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will be a charge of $1.00 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches. We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollrrs annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contain the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement. RACED LIKE THE GREYHOUND Botafogo, Most Famous Horse of Argentina, Was Known to Turf Followers Throughout World. The most famous race horse that the fine studs of Argentina ever bred was probably Botafogo, for he was renowned among turf followers the world over. He died near Mar del Plata a short time ago, being only eight years old. Not particularly fortunate in his parentage, as great racers usually are, he nevertheless became a phenomenon of the track. At two years he sold for $25,000 at auction, although he was never good looking. When he raced the horse stretched himself out like a greyhound. He made his debut in 1917, and all the classics fell before his amazing speed. One day when he was not in form and lost to Gray Fox the event was regarded in Argentina as quite a national catastrophe. In a subsequent "revenge race" he defeated his conqueror with perfect ease before the greatest crowd that ever assembled at the Palermo tracks.

They still read fic tion, to be sure, but it is not their chief reading nor is the fiction they read that provided by the old-school writers of boys’ books, who had the notion that tie youthful masculine mind required and demanded a spe cially prepared and specially fla vored food. ‘The boys of today, according to this finding, are calling for the bi ographies of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Edison, ‘They are reading Christy Mathewson's “Book of Sports,” the “Boys' Book of Mounted Police,” the “Boys’ Book of Home Seience and Construction” and books on camping and wooderatt, When they go in for fietion they read Mark ‘Twain, Scott, Dumas, Stevenson, Jules Verne and ‘Kipling, They do not read Henty ahd-Oliver Optie, ‘The only thing at all curious about this is that it shotild ever have been believed that boys had standardized minds capable of taking ‘anything but spoon food. Boys want first of all the genuine, and it would be strange if they didn’t learn where to find it. A poy who has heard of Roosevelt's lifé in the West is not likely to be content thereafter with the pretend: ed adventures of the old make-believe heroes, whose authors turned out thelr thrills in New York boarding houses. A boy who has read “Treas ure Island” and “Kidnaped” will have small use for Nick Carter.—Kansas City Star. IMMENSE POWER UF MUSIC There is Almost No Limit to its In- fluence on the Human | 3 Soul. Music! The dictionary defines It fas “The science of harmonious sounds ; melody or harmony.” The tide of bat tle has been turned by the “science of harmonious sounds,” and to hear some old familiar melody has often resulted in soothing the troubled heart. Mudie can call the patriot to the defense of his country; can enthuse anew the worshiper at the shrine; can call the lover to his beloved; can fan into flame the dying embers of the fire in the enthusiast’s breast ‘There $s no Umit to the power of music over the human soul. ‘The world needs music—nusic of the soul; music of the heart; music of the volee; music of the spirit. ‘There are people who can't sing, yet they can be moved to tears or laughter by the words of some simple melody. Some people sing their way through fife, and such people have a wonder- ful Influence on ‘the lives of others. Music can have an almost magical effect in producing the desired re- sults, In fact, the imagination fails to pleture a world without music. Mind Conquers Matter. Have you heard the latest Coue story? A man with bandy legs called to see the great practitioner of heal- ing by suggestion. After an examination, the doctor said: “Yes, they ean be cured. Mas- sage them every night and before you go tofsieep say, ‘My legs are getting less and less bandy' a hundred and fifty times.” Full of hope, the man went home, ‘That night he carried out the massage treatment, but he could not remember Just how many times he had to repeat the niagic’ words. He knew it was something and fifty, $0, to make sure, he recited the phrase three hundred and fifty times. Next morning he found that he avas knock-kneed ! Death Rate Already Too Hick. The death rate for the first quarter of 1922 among Metropolitan Life pol- feyholders was higher among white policyholders by 5.3 per cent find among colored policyholders by 66 per cent than for the same quarter of 1921, ‘This was due very largely to the effecis of epidemic influenza, ‘There are, nevertheless, many favor- fable tems in the figures for the quar- ter. ‘The outstanding one Is the con- tinued low mortality from tuber- culosis, ‘The unfavorable —develop- ments, in addition to, the much"higher rates for Influenza and pneumonia, are the Increases for organic heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage and chronic nephritis. A higher rate was also registered for automobile acck dents. Art and Beauty. A collier and his wife visited a ple- ture gallery. ‘They came to some pho- tographs of elassie art, and seeing one more striking than the rest, they asked what it was, “That,” sald a visitor standing by, “Is a photograph of the famous Venus de Milo, the per- fect woman.” ‘The coliler- guzed at the photograph for some time, and then, glancing at his wife, he said: “By gum, Lizzie, they made a mess o' thee!"

Boston nseript RANKS THIRD IN PETROLEUM Russia’s Output in 1921 Amounted to 28,500,000 Barrels, Engineering and Mining Journal Says, Prior to the outbreak of the war the production ‘of petroleum in Russia amounted to about 20 per cent of the world’s production, and, in spite of political and industrial upheaval, the production of soviet Russia still oecu- ples third rank in the countries of the world, says the Engineering ard Mining Journal-Press. During the year 1920 the production amounted to 25,400,000 barrels, and in 1921 to 28,- 500,000 barrels. In the district of Baku the production in 1921 amouhted to 195,000,000 poods (thirty-six pounds), as compared with 215,000,- 000 poods in 1919. In the district of Grosny the monthly production dur- ing the second half of 1921 amounted to 6,100,000 poods, .gnd in January, 1022, to 7,100,000 poods.

MACAULAY HAD FINE CLOTHES Learned English Historian and States. man Had Hobby for Variety ‘of Apparel. Lord Macuilay, the English bis- torian and statesman and inexhaust- ible vonversationalist, had a mind overstocked with learning.’ And he had a wardrobe overstocked with clothes, according «to Margaret Mac- aulay’s “Diary.” “Later in life,” she writes, “he indulged himself in an apparently inexhaustible succession of handsome embroidered waistcoats, which he would regard with much complacency. He was unhandy to a degree, quite anexampled In the ex- perience of all who knew him. When in the open air he wore per- fectly new dark kid gloves, into the fingers of which he never succeeded in inserting his dingers more than halt way. After he had»sailed for India there were found in his cham- hers between 50 and 60 strops, hacked into strips and splinters, with razors without beginning or end. About the same period he hurt his hand and was induced to send for % barber. After the operation he asked what he was to pay. “Oh, sit’ said the man, ‘whatever you usually give the person who shaves you.’ ‘In that case,’ said Muc- aulay, ‘T should give you a great gash on-each cheek.” Ghadia at thd’ Laeted: A San Francisco lady was training a new and inexperienced Chinese house-boy, and among. other things found It necessary to teach him how to receive a caller, “Now, Wing,” she sald, “when I eome home this after- noon I shall ring the bell, and you must pay attention to what I tell you to do when you open the door.” When the boy did this on her return, she handed him her visiting card and had him show her into the drawing-room. Before long # caller appeared.

Read Right Either Way. Anatole France, who the other day celebrated his eighty-seeond birthday, once’ received a commission for a “serial,” and took all the installments of his story to the newspaper office, drew his emoluments and went off on a long holiday. On returfing to Paris he turned up the files of the journal to see how his work looked in print, and, to his amazement, discovered that, owing, as it was found, to the installments haying been wrongly ar- ranged in the editorial pigeon hole, the editor had begun his story at the end and printed the serial backwards. “It mode no difference,” the editor bland- ly assured him, when he went to pro- test. “No one noticed anything wrong.” / Effect of Graft From Scalp. ‘The case of a wounded. soldier who had to have frequent haireuts inside his mouth was described recently by Dr, Percival Cole, surgeon of the Sea- men’s hospital. Greenwich, in a lec ture at the Institute of Hygiene, Lon- don, He had lost part of the mycous membrane of his mouth, and this was replaced by a graft of skin from his own scalp. It did not give him much trouble, but it grew so many hairs that he had to have haireuts inside his mouth almost as frequently as he shaved. ‘ Why Milkman Was Late. - He was a inilkman with a sense of humor, “Why afe you so late with our milk this morning?” asked one old lady. “Well, you see, mum,” he answered, “it’s like this, The Jaw allows us 25,000 bacteria to the gallon, and you wouldn't believe how long it takes tc count the little beggars,”—London Tit-Bits. cided 2). 0 Page Three - AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE- We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto.

The islands of Orkney and Shetland are legally "in pawn," says the Detroit News. They were pledged to Scotland by the king of Denmark on the occasion of the marriage of the Danish Princess, Margaret, to James III of Scotland, in 1471. These island groups were then Norwegian territory, and had been so since the close of the Ninth century. At the time of their being pawned the king of Denmark was also sovereign of Norway and Sweden, and hoped that the marriage of the Danish princess would help to effect an alliance with Scotland—then a separate kingdom from England. To help matters on the Danish king agreed to fix the princess' dowry at 60,000 florins (about $120,000)—10,000 florins to be paid before the lady left Denmark, and the islands of Orkney to be given in pledge for the remainder. But at the last moment the king could only lay his hand. on 2,000 of the 10,000 florins, and was obliged to pledge the Shetland islands for the balance. The pledge has never been redeemed, and though Denmark has made several attempts to get back these islands all the negotiations have come to naught. WILL MAKE GAS ON THE FARM Filiver Fuel Can Be Manufactured by the Farmer From His Waste Products. In a few years many kinds of farm waste will be converted successfully into liquid or gasoline fuel, writes Floyd W. Parsons in the World's Work. For some time alcohol has been manufactured in large quantities from "blackstrap" molasses, but now we find that it is possible to obtain 150 pounds of potash from each ton of this low-grade molasses, in addition to the liquid fuel. During the war the price of potash averaged as high as $1,000 a ton. Federal chemists have found it possible to obtain gas by the distillation of wheat, oat and rye straws. It is not too much to expect that one day straw gas and gas made from cornstalks, corncobs and other vegetable matter will be used by farmers to supply light and heat for their homes, power for their stationary engines and fuel for their tractors and motorcars. Fifty pounds of straw will produce 300 cubic feet of gas—an amount sufficient to drive a light roadster 15 miles. The next step in this experimental work will be the perfection of a method of reducing the gas to liquid form so that it may be carried conveniently as a motor fuel. Pleasantries at an Operation. Dr. T. Victor Keene, Indianapolis physician and surgeon, once was being prepared for an appendicitis operation. He was a follow among those whose loving hands were to gas him out and carve him up. So they were making grim humor about the cutting party. So pleasant did the occasion become that to this day. Doctor Keene doesn't know whether he was placed under the influence of an anesthetic or whether he was just simply scared into unconsciousness and did not come to until after the operation. They began regularly enough to give him the gas and then he heard the following pleasant little remark—and heard no more until after it was all over: "Hey, be careful there with that ether. Don't you know he's a nervous devil? Look out! Say, you'll sniff him out!" Needed Help. Standing on the slippery pavement of a small Southern town one rainy night, like sailors on a reeling deck, they were discussing a member of their party who had to retire from the scene of action. The principal speaker in the group appeared to be having some difficulty in keeping his footing on the swaying pavement. The buildings on either side bowed and rocked. The telephone poles did some sort of contortionist stunt and even his voice was a bit thick. "Where's Sam?" another member of the group asked him. "We took him home," the first speaker informed him between bicephaux. "Was he drunk" "Drunk? It took three of us to get his hat in the car."—The Argonaut. Men and Women Not Seen Together. Unlike the women of some other Spanish speaking countries, the women of Montevideo go out in the streets. They go about in groups together, but not in the company of men. The Montevideo woman doesn't even go out with her husband. If she wishes to dine in a public restaurant she cannot sit in the main dining room with her lord and master. If she wishes to enjoy his society, they are obliged to engage a private room and thus maintain their dignity. This custom is carried to such a degree that in the theaters there are separate galleries for the men and the women. Straightaway.
