Bayonne, N. J. Nov. 22-(CNS)-The
bubble of Christian love and brother­
hood was punctured once more by the
white hyperites who preach, but do
not practice it, when Miss Doretta
Cote Norman, a colored high school
student, was barred from use of th#
swimming pool in the Y.W .C.A. of
this city.
Miss Norman, who is a pupil at the
Staten Island High School, appeared
at the Y.W. two weeks ago with her
class, which consists mostly of white
girls, for a swimming lesson. She
was told not to return. Her mother,
Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, a teacher
in P. S. 21, Elmo PPaPrk, S. I. pro­
tested. and as a result the Jewish Cen­
ter at Staplton, S. I. invited Miss Nor­
man to use its facilities. Miss Nor­
man accepted and with her went her
entire class consisting mostly of white
girls.

pneumonia, tuberculosis of the lungs,
and other really serious diseases. Even
if none of these follow a cold, the
whole system has become run-down
so that it takes several weeks to build
it up again.
Business suffers absences caused by
colds more than from all other re
spiratory diseases put together.
Influenza, which is often confused
with colds caused 25,000 deaths in the
United States during the year 1927 .
How many deaths from pneumonia,
tubercolsis and other serious diseases
followed in the wake of "flu” , our sta­
tistics do not tell, but we know that
they were many.
Yet these seemingly minor illnesses
in the winter can be reducer if peo­
ple will only take the matter of health
more seriously.

season Wednesday night, November
13 , in Carnegie Hall.
His program included unfamiliar
numbers of seventeenth and eighteenth
century airs in Italian, a group of
French songs and songs in German
and English with Negro spirituals for
the closing numbers.
Mr. Hayes was in good form and
sang with his familiar clarity of tone
and artistry of enunciation and inter­
pretative effectiveness Storms of ap­
plause greeted his every appearance,
and called for a series of encores.
The Dream" front Massenet's "Man-

encore to the French group was per­
fectly suited to his voice and style.

Investigate Episode.
Eastland, Tex., Nov. *0.-(AP)-De-
nouncing the action of a mob here
last night in lynching Marshall Rat­
liff, bank robber. District Judge Da­
venport today ordered an Eastland
county grand jury to convene in spe­
cial session tomorrow to make a
thorough investigation.
The lynching also was condemned
by Joseph Jones, county attorney and
brother of Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones,
who died today of bullet wounds in­
flicted Monday night by Ratliff in his
attempt to break jail. The officer said
he would prosecute vigorously should
indictments be returned.
Indications that the investigation
would be left entirely in the hards of
county authorities was made by Gov­
ernor Moody, who said the state would
give any assistance that might be
asked.
“ Lynching is in violation of the law
and it is unfortunate when people
take th^ law into their own hands,”
was the executive’s comment.
Tom Janes, whose fatal wounding
by Ratliff caused the enraged mob to
take the robber from the jail here,
was conscious until he died. After
hope for his recovery was abandoned,
fellow officers were permitted to
group about his bed in a hospital.
Each pressed his hand in a last fare­
well.
When it came E. P. (Tack) Kil-
born's time to whisper goodby, Jones
said to the jailer:
“ Tack, I stayed with you to the last,
but I have to go now.”
The officer's 8-year-old son, Billy,
also was at the bedside as the end
approached. His father admonished
him to be a "good boy” .
Ratliff died with a prayer for mercy
and forgiveness on his lips. Dragged
and carried out of the jail he fell to
the ground when the rope broke and
was stunned. He lay there murmur­
ing: "God have mercy and forgive
me.”
While the mob awaited a new rope,
someone tied a sack about Ratliff's
loins. He had been dragged from the
prison naked. Before he was pulled
up a second time someone asked if
he wanted to talk.
"Let me down and I'll talk,” Ratliff
begged. The rope was lossened, and
he said: "Forgive me. boys.” Then the
rope drew taut. The body swung for
15 minutes before Justice of the Peace
Jim Steele ordered it removed to a
morgue.
