TAMPA WOMEN FORM LEAGUE TO CLEAN UP VICE Will Furnish Confidential Re port on "Double Life" of Any Man Tampa, Fla., June 12. Five hun dred Tampa women have formed the Woman's Protective League and say they propose to clean up organized vice by direct action that they propose to undermine Its support. By the establishment of a sort of moral credit bureau thia organization proposes to furnish any woman a confidential report on the "double life" of her husband if she Wants one. The inquirer does not even need to give her own name In making the inquiry; she may designate a post office box address or any place whore an agent of the league may de posit the report on its investigation. Organizers of the bureau say that seventy of their number have pledged to do the investigating work in the open while the remainder will work in secret. "So many have such old reprobates for husbands," said one of the chiefs, "they can't work openly because these husbands won't let them. Therefore they will work secretly." The theory of the league is that if a man has not been walking the straight and narrow path one. of the five hundred will know about it or at least can find out.

The Germans will be given five days limit for final action, wiheh would therefpre come on or before June 18.

KIWANIS HEARS IT'S KEE-WANB Businessmen Get a Few Point ers at the Weekly Luncheon The grill room of the Penn-Harrts was jammed to the gunwales at noon to-day with the dynamic Kiwanis Club luncheoners, presided over by the president. Baron Neffe, and with the chief speaker Benjamin M. Nead, president of the Harrisburg His torical Society. Mr. Nead threw a distinct jolt into the lively "Kee wanis" folk, for that is the correct way to pronounce the nifty Redskin word, when he deplored that Har risburg and community were greaUy to be blamed for not marking points of history, and he urged ail the Kiwanis members to join the His torical Society and pay some atten tion to history in the midst of their multitude business claims. Mr. Nead expressed the opinion that neither the jail or courthouse should be deci mated to make way for modern buildings, saying It was an insult to the memory of John Harris. When he related how In his boy hood the boys fished and swam in Market Square, Al. K. Thomas whispered that he had a bath there himself not long ago, but did not say how he got it. Mr. Nead eulogiz ed the Kiwanis for its enterprise and efforts to help humanity, comparing the organization most favorably with the Egyptians who built pyra mids for worthless monarcbs. He urged the Kiwanis to study history, which disciplines the understanding and makes an intelligent man cap able of reasoning from cause to ef fect. In Secretary Breckenridge's re port was read a letter of thanks from H. I. Romig, father of Reide Romig. the Telegraph reporter who died so suddenly and who was ac customed to cover the Kiwanis luncheons for his newspaper. Ki wanis sent some lovely flowers to the bereaved parents and helped In making funeral arrangements. Al. K. Thomas had a violent com plaint to'make, charging that some member of the club put an adver tisement In a local paper asking any one to send him a "good watchdog." Thomas threatened to bring a watch dog for every member next week if the guilty perpetrator of the ad is not exposed. Charles Berkley, of the business college, a slx-eylinder flyer, was chosen to replace Bill Alexander on the publicity and membership com mittee and he promises to "put Ki wanis on the man." Rabbi Haas followed and emphasized the po grom. "Do things and not talk about "em," was his slogan. He suggested an afternoon outdoors with the sick soldiers of Carlisle hospital as guests. As nobody volunteered for booster next time, the president appointed 'Hbrry • Lowengard. To-day the tronhy for the occasion, a paper knife, was given by the Bogar Lum ber Company. Al. Thomas got the attendance prize two boxes of candv. They did not go far. President Neffe called attention that every member should have a Kiwanis placard In his offlc" and nearlv every one bought the affair, at 65 rents each. Among th big list of guests were: Charles P. Grubh, county commis sioner's office: M. G. Hoke, just re turned from thirteen months' over seas service In the 321 st Field Ar tillery; L'eut. E. H. Smith, B. M. A.? Charles E.
