UPTON MUST WAIT Awhile for Another Chance to Secure America’s Cup —ls He Really Wants It STILL HAS AMBITION To Own Fastest Yacht in World—Race Would Cost Too Much This Year (By Henry L. Farrell, United Press staff correspondent) New York, Aug. 25.—1 t will be several years before Sir Thomas Lipton gets another chance for America’s Cup—if he wants one. Recent activities of the titled tea king in England indicate that he has not given up the ambition of ills life to own the fastest yacht in the world, and that he may challenge the New York Yacht Club for another race next summer. In a period when money is not just the loosest thing on the market, a million-dollar yacht race is not the best thing to get back to normalcy, and for that reason the New York Yacht Club probably will discourage any attempt for another race next year, according to opinion prevalent here.

The yacht club speaks officially and it cannot discuss a challenge until it has been received, but, nevertheless, prominent members of the club have expressed the individual opinion that th cup will be kept on the shelf for at least two more years. Lipton is said to be considering plansnow for another addition to the Shamrock family of challengers. When he failed in his million-dollar venture to beat Resolute last summer and win the cup, it was thought that he would be through. But he is persistent. Two of his Shamrocks are now high and dry at Jacob’s shipyard. City Island. They will remain there, however, it is believed, and a new Shamrock will be built and sailed over to compete in the next race. For the same reason that an America Cup race is not probable in 1922. it is logical to believe timt King Albert’s Cup race across the Atlantic will not be on the 1922 program. Attempts to stage the race this summer from Sandy Hook to Ostend, received a polite and courteous frown from American yachtsmen, who took the stand that the race would cost too much money and the investment of such big sums in a pure sporting event would not tend to bring the country back to its feet. The Fuhrman family reunion will be held at Bellmont park Saturday, August 27. All relatives are invited to participate. CASE DISMISSED The case of the State vs. John Williamson, the defendant being charged with petit larceny, was dismissed in ’Squire Kintz’s court this morning on motion of the state. L. C. DeVoss appeared rea/y to represent the defendant when the state moved the dismissal.

WORKING ON FARMS CURES SHELL-SHOCK Winnipeg, Man.. Aug. 24.—Figures from a survey gathered here indicated that country life was the surest cure for shell-shock. The percentage of shell shocked soldiers settled on the land, who have completely recovered, was far greater than that among those who staid in cities. The Canadian government has put 25.500 soldiers on the land and assisted them to equip their farms with stocks, buildings and farm machinery. Though many of these soldiers were suffering from wounds and other effects of the war, the average soldier-farmer today is in ruddy health as well as sound finance. _» FAMILY OF TEN WEIGH 2218 LBS. Bellefonte. Pa., Aug. 24.—Centre county may have that famous straw that broke the camel’s back. Philip Straw and his nine children are claiming the heavyweight family championship of the state. The ten of them weigh 2,218 pounds. The biggest Straw scales at 290. The bantam of the family busts the beam at 190. s ANOTHER BIG COAL VEIN IN ILLINOIS St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 24.—Illinois, one of the largest coal producing stktep iff tile United States,' is to ihalro another mine. I i ■' A five and one-half foot vein of coal was discovered at a depth of 150 fqet at Cerpenter, 111., and the Mt. Olive and Staunton Coal company of'. St. Louis plans to open another big mine in that neighborhood. The company, it was said, has taken options on a tract of 5,000 acres. Ton or twelve other holes will be sunk soon.

ACT QUICKLY Do the right thing at the right lime. Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger, Doan’s Kidney Pills are most effective. Ask your neighbor! Plenty of Decatur evidence ot their worth. Mrs. Ira Elzey, 340 N. 9th St, Decatur, says: “I can endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable remedy for kidney complaint for I have used them with success. My kidneys were weak and I often had severe backaches and pains across my kidneys. This made It hard for me to stoop and my kidneys didn’t act right. Doan’s Kidney Pills, which 1 got at Smith, Yager & Falk's Drug Store, soon stopped the backache and relieved all symptoms of kidney complaint.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pilis —the same that Mrs. Elzey had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. GLAD TO GET RID OF IT Mrs. Mary Bourke, 1097 N. Allister St., San Francisco, Calif., writes: ‘‘l have been troubled with backache; took two Foley idney Pills and they helped me so good my back stopped paining me. I am so glad to get rid of it.” Women doing housework, or employed in office or factory, who suffer from backache, lame muscles, stiff joints, rheumatic pains, biliousness or other symptoms of kidney trouble find relief in Foley Kidney Pills. PACKED HOUSE AT MECCA A capacity audience, which filled every seat, and jammed the aisles, gathered at the Mecca theatre last night to greet Eerie Transue, the distinguished tenor, and see Mary Miles Minter in, “Don't Call Me Little Girl.” Mr. Transue who is heralded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest of the younger generation of tenors, demonstrated that he is entitled to the aforesiad classification, by displaying a beautiful, rich lyric tenor voice, of great brilliance on the high notes especially. He also has a marvelously beautiful "mezza-voice,” in his singing of soft passages, and the sustained flute-like note in Marshalls, “I Hear You Calling Me,” gave evidence of the singer’s almost supernatural breath control. Mr. Transue’s program showed much thought and was a most delightful one —and Decatui - music lovers are fortunate to be able to hear such a finished artist as Earle Transue.

The picture, “Don’t Call Me Little Girl" was very delightful and was warmly applauded. Tonight Mr. Transue will give his last concert here, and “Don’t Call Me Little Girl” will be given a last showing. "SEX" AT CRYSTAL Brilliant screen artist that she is, Louise Glaum never approached, at least in histrionic impressiveness, the characterization which she is to offer on the Crystal Theatre screen tonight, according to the New York critics who have seen “Sex", the new J. Parker Bead. Jr. production, released by Hodkinson. As Adrienne Renault, dazzling butterfly of the Frivolity Roof. Miss Glaum is a scintillant, entrancing picture, as volatile, as radiant as life can be in the wild nocturnal vortex of Manhattan. Then, as a different Adrienne, married, devoted to her husband and her home she gives a poignant insight into the heart of the woman who is destined to pay for despoiling the happiness of others by the destruction of her own castle of dreams. The climax of “Sex" is said to be one of the most tremendous scenes ever staged for the film camera. Its finale is surprising and unusual and clearly shows the genius of the producer, J. Parker Read, Jr., who has personally supervised the splendid direction of Fred Niblo. In Miss Glaum’s support appear fascinating Irving Cummings, William Conklin, Myrtle Stedman and Peggy Pearce.

INTEREST IN RACE Secretary of State Board of Agriculture Says Automobile Race Will Never SUPERCEDE HORSE State Fair Board Looking for Greatest Attendance in History of the State State Fair Grounds, Aug. 25. —Automobile races will never supercede light harness horse races, I. Newt Brown, secretary of the state board of agriculture said here today. This according to Brown is particularly so at state fairs. There is more intesest in tho light harness racing, he said. Automobile shows, will never take the place of the horse show, according to Brown. “We have more horses entered in the light harness races this year than we ever had in the past thirty years," said Brown. “We have as many autos entered in this year’s race as we have had before but we have no more. “I have been connected with the state fairs for the past thirty years and I have not noticed that a bit of interest has been lost In either the horse race or the horse show . “When it is announced that the horse race is about to start, people can be seen flocking to the grandstand and the track to witness the event. "There is more interest in a more human like event than there is a mechanical eyent.” If it were not for the horse races held at the state fair the fairs would be almost a thing of the past, he continued. At every county fair there are horse races. But at only the state fair are the automobile races held. At the county fair there is always a horse show and in some counties an automobile show was never held. Members of the state board of agriculture are looking toward the largest attendance in history this year, Brown said. A herd of prize cattle will be entered in the stock by Governor Warren T. McCray, it was said.
