OUR IDEAL
OF SERVICE
What a relief it is, in the sudden confu
sion of bereavement, to be able to call up
on someone who knows what has to be done
and how to do it! What a sense of comfort
it gives to shift the burden of practical de
tails onto the shoulders of an experienced,
thoughtful friend.
That is the ideal which this organization,
in its humble way, seeks to realize. We
shall not consider our service a success un
less we have lightened the burden of those
in sorrow.

Canton Frowns
On Portugal's
Macao Colony
CANTON m Tho Canton gov
ernment is beginning to get vicious
about Macao, the Portuguese colony
a hundred miles down at tho mouth
of tho Canton river.
! Macao has long been the oriental
gamblers' paradise but Canton has
announced its determination to forge
."a ring of steel" round the colony so
las to "curb that wicked city's influ
ence upon South China."
j Lives On Gambling
Macao nas Decn a coiony nanging
on to the skirts of China for 400
years, being given to the earliest Por
tuguese navigators . in return for
'fighting pirates that then Infested
the South China sea,
Macao lives solely by opium and
gambling monopolies which are auc-
tinnprt in nil Win An nun 11 V.
' The Chinese is a born gambler and
flocks there to try his luck at fan
tan, to smoke a pipe of opium In
quiet and peace, and enjoy the free
and easy life generally.
Hongkong Is only four hours away
by steamer and every Saturday ex
cursion steamers unload mobs of
passengers, out to try, their, luck on
tho tables. , -, .
Dop Races Lato Fail
Tho Southern Chinese government
has always frowned on this, although
not always righteously. Some admin
istrations honestly desired tho places
closed but others were more envious
of the revenues produced for the
Portuguese colonial government.
Now Macao is adding to Its attrac
tions by introducing dog racing, with
a tin hare. The new sport Is going
like wild-fire, to the disgust of tho
government In Canton which has
warned that any Chinese known to
- patronize the dogs will be branded a
I traitor and deprived of his clvio
rights.
In addition It has ordered the
'severance of relations with the port
of Macao and has Instructed the Chi
nese In Macao to agitate for return
of the colony to Chinese jurisdiction.
It is believed, however, that tho
average Chinese In Macao Is more
concerned over his "gambling rights"
than the prospective loss of Chtneso
"civil rights."

I Only carefully guarded statements
have been given out In the daily press
conferences held by Admiral Quy H.
Burrage, who is acting as spokesman
for the Very Rev. Dean H. Dobson
Peacock, John Hughes Curtis and
himself. Last night ho asserted, how
ever that when they last had contact
with the kidnapers or their agents the
baby was reported well and that ne
gotiations . now have reached the
"watchful waiting" stage.
Admiral Burrage said that threats
have been mado against at least one
of the negotiators but he declined to
say whether all have been bo threat
ened. Mr. Curtis, who said a vieled
threat was made by several unidenti
fied persons who called him, by tele
phone, said ho thought tho callers
were "cranks."
PHILADELPHIA MENTIONED AGAIN
I HOPEWELL, N. J., Apr. 1 (!) It
was Philadelphia's turn today to' be
come the "clue" centre In the Lind
bergh kidnaping mystery.
Reports flew that Charles A. Lind
bergh Jr.. kidnaped a month ago to
night, might be found In or near that
city. Police scoffed. Hundreds of
other tips of similar nature have
proved valueless. .
, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
of the state police, said "there has
been no investigation directly or In
directly of the report tho baby was
held in or near Philadelphia."
Morton Bernstein, head of a pri
vate detective agency in New York,
came here lost night with one of his
operatives, Samuel Krosnow, and vis
ited the Lindbergh home.
A spokesman for their agency said
two mysterious strangers had come
to the office and warned them to
j watch a certain Philadelphia house
I tho night of March 31.
i "A blond woman and a man will
enter the house. If you will then
.crash the door, you may then find
the Lindbergh baby," the strangers
said.
I . Will WntcH House
! Bernstein and Krosnow left last
'night for Philadelphia planning to
watch the houso.
j Col. Schwarzkopf amplified the po
lice unconcern about the Philadel
phia investigation In his morning
bulletin, saying "neither director of
public safety. Kern Dodge, nor any
person In Philadelphia havo given us
any information of importance in
this case and we havo no knowledge
as to what this Information Is pre
sumed to be. Our activities are not
around Philadelphia at this time and
we have no definite information lead
ing to that vicinity.
The search for Harry Fleischer, re
puted member of the Dotroit Purple
gang, was continuing, but it "would
not bo well at this time to publish
the extent of theso activities."
Interpolated Muilc
The "Kakoczy March" wn.i not

tune. lierlloz first heard II In the

known. A friend, probably Liszt, had
loaned him, the evening of Ills de
parture from Vienna, a collection of
popular songs. lierlloz chose the
theme of the "Ilnkoczy March" and
rcclothcd It wllh magnificent or

Green Rose a Freak
A type of green rose known as
Vlrldlflnra originated In Baltimore
about 1850, and was mentioned bj
tho National Hone society in 10 1 i
The petals are small, pointed, sel
thickly, and of the same color a

green. The llower is of medium
size and double, and Is of vigorous
growth. It may lie considered more
as a hotunlcul freak tliau us a Sep
