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.

ALLIES AGREE ON
REPARATIONS IN
THE PEACE PACT
Reply Will Be Ready Friday;
German to Get Five Days
For Final Action
By Associated Press.
Paris, June 12.—Distinct progress
was reported to-day on the reply of
the Allied and associated govern
ments to the German counter pro
posals, and indications are that the
reply will be ready for delivery on
Friday.
The Germans will be given five
days limit for final action, wiheh
would therefpre come on or before
June 18.
The main feature of this progress
was an agreement regarding the
reparation terms, which have been
the subject of a sharp controversy
during the past ten days. ,
The proposal to continue the Su
preme Economic Council, or to reg
ulate the distribution of raw ma
terials and provide a centralized or
ganization for the control of inter
national economic and trade affairs
during the post-bellum transitional
period is now before the Council it
self.
The British representatives, who
raised the question with a view to
the formulation of a recommenda
tion to the Allied and associated
governments, contended that some
continuation of governmental con
trol during the difficult perlhd of
transition was necessary and that
the present organization offered
suitable facilities.
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. Kurzenknabe, also from
overseas, the son of the well-known
and venerable musician; Corp. F. O.
T.vter. 108 th Field Artillery. 28th
Regiment: W. M. Renshnw. Greelcv
Publishing House. New York; N. W.
Renshaw. Corporal Samuel .T, Fergu
son, Lieut. George Haak. and a num
ber of others.
The Elks have Invited Kiwanis
and Rotary to their great jubilee
on Saturday night In celebration of
Flag Day.
