DESCRIBES LIFE OF FRANK DAILEY . — • Indianapolis, April 23—Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis, secretary of the Dailey for Governor Club, in a statement issued from headquarters today said: "It Is my belief that women like personal information regarding a candidate that they intend to support. It gives them a better slant on a man’s worth. "Hom at Bluffton, Indiana. Mr. Dailey came from a family of lawyers. his father serving as Judge of the Wells circuit court, and later served as Judge of the State Su pre me court. k. “Mr. and Mrs. Dailey have three son. Field. Joseph and George. When the war broke out. Field and Joseph volunteered immediately. Field was a member of the Rainbow Division, and served as an aerial and front line observer and was a first lieutenant of Battery D. Joseph went through the war on a special permit from the war nepartnrent. as he was not strong enough to pass the required tests. He contracted tuberculosis and is located in New' Mexico. All three boys attended Indiana University. George was in high school during the war. "Mr. Dailey was appointed United Slates District Attorney for Indiana, and served with credit and distinction to himself and the state. Later he served for four years as speciaJ assistant to the United States Attor ney General, and successfully prosecuted the Newiberry election fraud case in Michigan. "He has a national as well as a state reputation as a lawyer of unusual ability and integrity. Above all he is a tharogh gentleman, kindly and courteous, and Democratic wom- n may be proud to work for him.” In a speech at a Democratic meeting held in Marion, Abram Simmons, Bluffton attorney, asserted that the chief issue in the campaign is a thorough housecleaning, and that the one man in the state to do the job is Frank C. Dailey, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Mr. Simmons was formerly state senator from Wells, Adams and Blackford counties. In his speech Mr. Simmons said: "The Democratic voters of Indiana will ire afforded a splendid opportunity at the primary election to be held on May 8, 1928 to nominate a very superior candidate for Governor in the person of Frank C. Dailey. He possesses a towering intellect, and his integrity is not questioned. He has the inclination, ability and courage to right a wrong, where wrong exists, and .he is the man of the hour to rid the state of crime in high places. If he is nominated and elected Governor of Indiana, the exodus from the state of the thievev, robbers, purjurers, and those who bribe public officials will begin. The command will be "Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once.” If the voters really desire to displace dishonest Government in Indiana and again re-estalish honest government, they should vote for Frank 1 Dailey as their candidate for Governor at the primary. — ■ o ***¥¥¥»¥¥¥*¥**¥ * CONGRESS TODAY * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ —(U.R)— Senate Continues debate on Blaine amendment to Navy appropriation bill. finance Committee continues consideration of tax reduction bill.

Many Peculiar Types of Medical “Healers’* lit primitive times medlclna nnd mysticism were closely connected. Out of priestcraft came the first physldnns. I lie calling of physician wns handed down from father to son nnd many superstitions arose, such ns the pei fillnr [towers ascribed to the seventh son of n seventh son. I lie old idea persists iiwnnny places. Dr. Dun McKenzie, who hits traced tlie evolution of 4he medicine man from the witch doctor nnd the priest physician, lists thirteen types of folk doctors In tribes of southern Europe, Including the peasant doctor who depends for his diagnosis on the Inspection of excreted fluids; women doctors who learned their art by heredity, midwives, bone setters, surgeons, tooth pullers, blacksmiths, skinners or (layers and praying men. Os all the nations of the world, the United States has the most variegated nnd complete assortment of peculiar practitioners of medicine, comments Hygeln Magazine. They cure by every possible medium. Thirty-seven varieties of religious healers nlone have been listed. In the midst of t’’s bizarre assortment sclentlfle medicine pursues its way, taking from any source that may develop an established fact. Comment That Made No Hit With Dorothy When 1 entered the room Dorothy sat curled up In the big chair under the bridge lamp reading. •’Hello," I said. “Hello,” replied Dorothy. I sat down. "Your hair looks pretty under that light. Dot,” I continued. "It brings out the red.” Dorothy looked tip from her book. “My hair,” she anounced, "Is not red.” "Oh, come, now,” I said genially. "It is not red,” reiterated Dorothy, speaking a hit louder than the space between us warranted. “Well, if it’s not red what color do you call it?”I asked. “Brown,” said Dorothy. I laughed tolerantly nnd then stopped suddenly, arrested by something alarming in Dorothy's general attitude. “Listen,” said Dorothy, and there was a cool quality in her voice. "You’re showing that nasty, contemptible side of your nature again and I think you had better go home. I don't like you when you’re like this." —New York Evening Post, Motion and Rest Motion or change nnd identity or rest are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and rest. The whole code of her laws may he written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring. The whirling bubble on the surface of a brook admits us to the secret of the mechanics of the sky. Every shell on the beach is a key to it. A little water made to rotate In a cup explains the formation of the simpler shells; the addition of matter from year to year arrives at last at the most complex forms; nnd yet so poor is nature with all her craft, that from the beginning to the end of the universe she has but one stuff, but one stuff with Its two ends, to serve up all her dream like variety. Compound It how she will, star, sand, fire, water, true, man, it is still one stuff, nnd betrays the same properties —Emerson. Monk’s Calculations Wrong For many centuries the exact date of the birth of Christ was based on the calculations of Dionysius, a learned monk of Rome,- of the Sixth century. Subsequent Investigations, however, demonstrated that Dionysius’ date is nt lenst four years too late. The discrepancy wns discovered by a comparison of the historical records of Rome with the Scripture records of the birth of Christ. According to Scripture, Christ was horn nt the time of a census or enumeration made In the territory of Herod, in accordance with the decree of Augustus, when Quirinius Un the Bible, Cyrenltis) wns exercising authority tn the Roman province of Syria. This was four years earlier than the date of Dionysius. Your Oldest Friend Hold fat.t to home influences and remembrances; and recollect he who tries to shame you out of a father’s nnd n mother’s fear, and out of obedience to them, tries to steal the most precious treasure you have. He Hint is trying to destroy the Influence of your parents upon you Is trying to take away from you the most faithful love you ever knew. You shall lie down in the grave when you have traversed forty or eighty years of life, without having found another friend who has borne ns much for you, or done ns much for you, as your father or your mother.—Emerson. Lucky Find A short time ago a man purchased an old bureau merely because it closely resembled one that was in his old home when he was a boy. When his purchase arrived home, the likeness struck him ns more remarknble than ever, and he wondered whether it could really be the same. Suddenly he recalled that the original bureau had a very artfully planned secret drawer. He sought for this and found It. Lying there was a couple of documents In the writing of his i'atber, one of which contained a five-pound London I MwU

Scottish Capital Has Lone Been Royal City I Edinburgh Is rightly proud of Its long history, but It would be difficult to say exactly when that history began. The castle rock doubtless commended itself as n dealruble defensive position to the enrly Britons, and one muy enter upon a wide field of conjecture ns to why they gave It Ils firsts name of Mynyd Agned; signifying the “pnlnted mound,” In what must have been a dim and misty past even to the Gaels, who later Christened It Dunedin. The oldest form of Its present name was Edwlnesburgh, us It Is recorded In the foundation charter of Holyrood in 1128, nnd authentic history prior to that date Is lacking, according to a writer In the Weekly Scotsman. According to Simeon of Durham the buildings on the hill In the Ninth century, apart from the castle, constituted only a small village; and It was not till 1093 when, on the d-nth of Malcolm Cennmor, It became the [dace of refuge of Queen Margaret that Edinburgh emerged from obscurity. In succeeding centuries Its strategic I position nnd Its royal associations Increased Its Importance, nnd David I referred to It as “meo hurgo de Ed- I wlnesburgh,” hut It wits In 1329 that It wns formally constituted n royal burgh by a charter of Robert the Bruce. Woman’s Beauty Seen as Great Influence It Is woman's business to he beautiful. Her outward beauty Is the token nnd symbol of all that makes life worth living; and. If her Inner sell should belle her exterior, she fills men with cynicism, renders them fierce nnd brutal nnd drives them to despair. The beauty of woman Is a tremen dously powerful Influence, ami. like all great forces. It may serve base <>t noble purposes. The mischief Is that this great influence Is given to young women at an age when they cannot understand Its power and gravity of the responsibility that goes with it. Woman In generhl will always expose as much of herself as the -taste of men will |»ermit her to do. There is no harm in this. But beware lest you make yourself a martyr In the i sacred cause of woman’s freedom. . . . Immodesty consists In going a little I beyond the custom. If It is customary to expose three inches do not expose j six. If ft Is customary to expose yojr I shoulder blades do not expose the | small of your back.—From "Character and the Conduct of Life," by I’rof. William McDougall. Cold Light When the current of a Ruhmkorf induction coll Is passed through a j glass tube in a vacuum the tube j glows with a brilliant light. This is the light of the future. Hitherto It ' has not been possible to produce light without producing heat. But recently an Improved form of the Geissler tube has been produced which has It Is claimed, overcome this difficulty. The light of the future will glow through long transparent tubes of all sizes and calibers, able to take the most varied directions and to run horizontally, vertically or obliquely, forming stars rosettes, spirals, arabesques, etc. The tubes radiate a diffused glow from end to end. The effect is a splendid, intense lunar light. Dust Fades the Sky The sky is losing its blue color in some parts of the world, according to Sir Napier Shaw, an English meteorologist, due, he believes, to the presence of chemical or moisture particles forming as a result of some volcanic eruption. There is a marked effect on the climate in some areas, he declares. In 1912, the weather was unusually cold and rainy In many sections, and an eruption of Mount Kutmai wns accompanied by an average fall of temperature of three-quarters of a degree. In 1903 anil 1904, similar changes occurred with the appearance of a whitish sky.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Horticulture Important The products of American Horticulture, Including fruits, nuts and vegetables, but exclusive of ornamentals, have an annual valuation of approximately $2,000,000,000. All fruits are valued at $700,000,000. nuts s:«>.• 000.000. and all vegetables, including home gardens, $1,270,000,000. The lotai farm value of all agricultural crops of the country, except timber, may during favorable years reach $12,000.(8*0.000. Thus it appears I hat the value of horticultural crops Is about one-sixth of the total value of all farm crops. Never Completely Frozen None of the five Great lakes ever freeze over completely, although extensive shallow regions along the shores are frequently covered with lee. Sometimes the ice extends for many miles toward the Interior of the hikes. Navigation on the lakes, according to the United States geological survey, is stopped for three or four months each winter because of Ice In and near the harbors, at the ends of the lakes, and in the channels connecting them.
