ROMANCE VIA TOOTHACHE
Mayor of Glasgow First Met Bride on Boardwalk.
ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 16.—Accompanied by his bride of a week, whom he met here under peculiar circumstances last summer, Mayor Frank J. Cohen, of Glasgow, Scotland, was a visitor at City Hall yesterday. To Mayor Riddle he confided that his first meeting, with Mrs. Frances A. Harris, now the bride, occurred on the Boardwalk and that the young woman was at that time suffering from a toothache.
Mrs. Harris requested Mayor Cohen to direct her to a dentist, and then and there began the romance that led to their wedding a week ago. They are enjoying their honeymoon at a beach front hotel.

TO OPEN CHESS TOURNEY
Frank I. Cohen Chosen Master of Ceremonies.
Arrangements for the forthcoming chess masters tournament, beginning on April 19, are so far complete that the management has secured the speaker who will officiate prior to the opening round to be played at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Club.
This will be Frank I. Cohen, R.B.S., ex-Mayor of Glasgow, who came to this city nearly two years ago, met, and married an American “lassie,” forthwith interrupted his world's tour, sent his resignation to Scotland and settled down here.
Ex-Mayor Cohen is an accomplished and witty afternoon speaker and is already quite a familiar figure at New York social functions. He attended the recent annual dinner of the Manhattan Chess Club and was on the list of speakers. For fourteen years Mr. Cohen served the City of Glasgow in the capacity of Councilor, Convener, Magistrate and, finally, “master of all works,” which in Scotland is the equivalent of Mayor. During his term of office the City of Glasgow encouraged tournaments at chess as well as checkers.
Mr. Cohen beamed when The Eagle reporter mentioned to him the subject of association football. This of all games was the closest to his heart. He himself, in fact, has played as center forward for prominent teams in his younger days. His great delight even now is to watch a game between first-class elevens. It is his intention to attend the cup tie final of the United States Football Association. As an expert in municipal affairs, Mr. Cohen finds plenty to occupy him here, and his services are much in demand.

Little Band Gathered in Cincinnati Are Planning for Brighter Days for Their Fatherland.
“Obvidinyinya” is the name of a club just organized for the preservation of the Russian language, literature and customs by Muscovite natives living in Cincinnati.
“Ob—,” &c., means unity, a term which signifies the fact that aliens of Russian birth have banded together in a common cause believing that the future of their erstwhile country is one of promise. According to the platform which has been drawn up the club would not have been organized at all if its projectors hadn't believed that there really was a brighter day dawning for Russia.
“There is no Russia now. There will be a Russia soon,” reads the placarded constitution written in the Russian language. “Then we will be proud of our birthplace. This club is the memorial of our hopes.”
The transactions of the club will be conducted in the Russian language. Selections from the works of noted Russian apostles of freedom will be read. Works of Russian composers will be rendered by musicians in the club.
The privileges of the club will be open to all Russian immigrants. Dr. Moses Scholtz, 707 West Sixth St. recently of Moscow, is President.

RUSSIA FEARS FREEDOM
So Says Moscow Citizen, in Letter to a Cincinnati Relative.
On the day when the Czar wrote his emancipation proclamation Louis Scholtz, of Moscow, brother of Dr. Moses Scholtz, of Cincinnati, made a permanent record of the events that followed the announcement. Friday, Dr Scholtz received a letter written in the evening when all Russia was delirious with joy, yet fearful because of doubt.
The letter reads: “The people are joyous, but they only half believe in the sincerity of the Czar. The manifesto has just been published and men are discussing it in the streets. Most say ‘It cannot be true.’ At every street corner there are the lovers of liberty haranguing large crowds who wave red flags. It is like a miracle. The soldiers and the police do not protest. Only we fear for the future. Can the people stand unrestrained freedom?
“Just now there is no railroad traffic between St. Petersburg and Moscow. The streets are dark. There is no water. The price of foodstuffs is high. The drug stores are closed, and patients at the hospital suffer.”

Russian and American Governors aren't the same Governor Cox was told by speakers at the banquet of the American Citizens Club held in the Jewish Settlement, Sunday night.
The members of the club most of whom from Russia and recently naturalized citizens of the United States have been familiar with Russian Governors from earliest childhood.
Cox was the first American Governor they had met.
Cox Eats Kosher Meal
“It is quite a novelty to meet a Governor on terms of equality,” said Dr. Moses Scholtz, President of the club formerly of Moscow.
“Previously we knew Governors only to fear and hate them. It is now very different.”
Thus, the Governor of Ohio was introduced to the former subjects of Russia as their servant. He ate a kosher meal with them and was presented with a large bouquet.
The Governor kissed Dorothy Bilker, 6, the little girl through whom the flowers were presented.

Eczema 03 Oct 1929, Thu The Dispatch (Moline, Illinois) Newspapers.com
ECZEMA (PART 1).
“I hate to see a baby with eczema come to my clinic. It's the most ornery thing we have treat! Some cases will seem to respond to changes in the diet, others to external medication, and others fail to be relieved in any case. If the eczema does clear up, we don't know whether the treatment we used had any bearing or not, for it seems to clear up at times of itself.”
This is what a New York children's specialist said to me recently.
So don't be surprised, Mrs. K., that the doctors you have seen failed you. However, you mustn't be discouraged, either, for not all doctors are so pessimistic as the ones you have seen and the one I quoted. In fact, Dr. Moses Scholtz, a skin specialist, says that eczema can be cured, and that the reason more of the doctors do not cure it is that they do not realize that the causes may be both external and internal and the treatment must take this into consideration.

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains: Tweets by swilkinsonbc |
 “What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy. |
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”.
