THE LABOR ADVOCATE
THE CARONA
A Ileal Typewriter.
Wc arc all familiar with folding' tables
and folding chairs. Wc have fallen
from folding ladders and slept in fold
ing beds, but now it seems wc arc to
write our letters on folding typewriters.
When wc call up visions of the 30 odd
pounds of cast iron and intricate
mechanism answering to the name of
typewriter, it seems difficult to imagine
how anyone could fold such a device
without using an axe. Hut the last
word in the typewriter line isn't at all
like its predecessors save that it has

Tiff.. it iff
the usual keyboard, typebar action and
assortment of back spacers, ribbon
shifts, etc. Really, the folding idea is
too simple for an thing when once you
see it, and the machine is a little beauty.
It lias a frame that is made of alum
inum and it is startlingly easy to handle.
Weighs G pounds and can, when folded,
be tucked away in the drawer of an or
dinary olhcc desk.
The CORONA, which is the name of
this unique machine, is an American in
vention and it has been on the market
for a number of years. It is largely
used by the traveling fraternity and has
found much favor among those who arc
tjieir own stenographers, or who do a
little writing at home.

TENNESSEE "BONE-DRY" LAW
HASTENS END OF SOCIAL
CLUB
.Memphis Institution AVliurc Society
Jliuls .Made Debut (iocs Into
Voluntary liuiiki-iiptcy.
Memphis, Tcnn. Enforced elimina
tion of the buffet feature through opera
tion of the prohibition law as amended
by the present Legislature, has hasten
ed the demise of the Chickasaw Guards
Club, in which for years past society
buds of this city and oftentimes of oth
er cities have made their formal debut.
The club has filed a voluntary petition
in bankruptcy, with an indebtedness of
close to $-10,000.
This reason is not set forth in formal
explanation of the passing of this insti
tution, but members admit, that it is a
fact of more or less direct bearing upon
the step. The club's lawyer says it had
been dvinir for two vcars. It was or
ganized more than -10 years ago.
When the amendments designed to
tighten the prohibition law were before
the Legislature the Chickasaw Guards
Club representatives sought to he given
several months in, which to close out
the organization's stocks of liquors,
pleading that failure to grant it would
probably work disaster to the institu
tion, in reply the Head ot tnc Aim
Saloon Lcacue stated in plain terms that
it was inconceivable that the mere sys
tem of lockers would require so much
time for closing and said 'that he had
heard that the club was buying liquors
in large quantities rather than in indi
vidual lots for lockers. lie added that
it did not seem to him to he strictly
proper for a club in which young girls
made their social debut and were other
wise entertained to be a liquor dealing
concern on such a broad scale.

Chicago, 111. It is stated that the
large influx of Southern negroes to this
city is caused by the offer of stockyards'
interest to guarantee lodging and food
for one week to the negroes, who are
replacing European immigration. It is
predicted that Chicago's colored popula
tion will have increased by 10,000 before
the first of April, and that already the
