LOCOMOTIVES IN NEED OF REPAIR Head of Enginenien and Firemen Sends Message to Harding Today (I'nitrd l*r«>MN Service.) Cleveland, ()., Aug. s—(Specials—(Special to Daily Deiqocrat)—Upon intervention by tho big raillroad brotherhoods to save the country from a transporta tion tieup came today Timothy Shea, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Frenien and enginemen sent a lengthy message to President Harding. Although Shea declined to divulge the contents of the message, it is understood that it not only contained a peace plan but virtually notified the president that the brotherhoods would be unable to operate tjains much longer in the face of defective equipment and irresponsible guards. In a statement to the United Press today Shea declared: "Thirty percent of the locomotives are out of service now. Within thirty days forty percent will be in such a condition that operation will endanger the lives of trainmen. That the other 30 percent will be out of service within another thirty days. Shea charged that the life of railroad unions depend upon the result of the shopmen's strike and pointed out that the brotherhoods ilso would lie in the path of the “rail road steam roller.” "If the shopmen are crushed, all railroad unions, including the brother hoods can expect the same,” Shea declared.

“First are the shopmen, then will come the other weaker unions. In the meantime, according to our con-; tracts, the brotherhoods must remain! neutral. ARE FOUR OUTSTANDING SWIMMERS IN WORLD TODAY, SAYS WRITER ! — Indianapolis, Aug s—There5 —There are four outstanding swimmers in the world I today. John Weismuller of Chicago is the most remarkable of these, having within the past year broken thirty world records, covering both dash and middle distance in free style while the backstroke he has established new records in both the 100 and the 150 yard distances. Among women swim mors, it has taken three of them to Oil the shoes of Ethelda Bliebtrey, Rliebtrey’s 50 yard record was broken by Helen Wainwright of New York last winter in Baltimore. Her 330 meter mark was broken by Hilda lames of Liverpool, England, recently. Her back stroke records both 100 yards and 150 yards have been shat tered by Sibil Bauer of Chicago. All four of these swimmers ,are sceduled to appear at the National Championship swimming meet, at Ripplie Pool on August 10-12 under the auspices of the Indianapolis AthleticClub. In the 50 yard free style of women, Miss Wainwright will have for competition, Euphrasia Donnelly of Indianapolis, Alien Riggin of NewYork City and possibly Ethel McGary of New York and Charlotte Boyle Clune of Rochester besides other les ser known stars. Sybil Batters strong est oompetition in the back stroke will probably be Thelma Darby ot Indianapolis although Helen Wainright is said to have developed a good back stroke. Kokomo has two or three lady divers as has also Evansville who may show well. The men’s high diving is an event never held as a state event before. Ray Elmendorff of Evansville is probably the most experienced spring board diver in the Indiana Association. Celest Coryn, an experienced spring board diver and erstwhile champion, is developing into a goon platform diver, Frazer of Kokomo also is said to be good at thia event. The Wohford brothers of Culver are good performers from the 10 foot board, and as the time from the 10 ft. spring board and the 24 ft. platform are about the same they are expecte to give a good account of themselves. •— FRED GETS THE PRIZE H. 11. Bender, received a letter this morning from Fred Bell, of Bluffton, who is enoying an cutting at Oden. Mich., in Which Fred states, in the last few days, ,ho has caught two large fish. One was <■ pickerel that tipped the scales nt 14 pounds and the other a musktiionge that weighed 18 pounds. This fish story is entitled to the prize that was awarded to Noah Herzog yesterday, for in this instance the fish were actually landed, while Noah's escaped by breaking the line. —Bluffton Banner.

CHICKEN THIEVES ARE BUSY IN WELLS COUNTY Sheriff Frauhlger started yesterday on an Investigation which may lead to the discovery of an organized gang of chicken thieves operating in the county. He has secured evidence which appears convincing on a number of men, and it is possible there may be arrests within a few days. The last theft reported was of 125 chickens, stolen from the Joe Acscliman farm, east of the city. Three weeks ago Joe Moller suffered the loss of 30 tine chickens and numerous smaller thefts have been reported during the past few weeks. The men who are doing the thieving apparently are old to the game and have proven themselves extreme' ly clever in covering up their tracks. The evidence which the sheriff lias, however, appears to come from the “inside" and may prove sufficient for arrests to be made. —Bluffton Banner. THE WOMAN OF POISE Once a rarity, is now to be observed and admired upon every hand. Indeed, no other woman can flourish long in the midst of this modern, complicated life.

Os course, poise is dependent mainly upon sound health and steady nerves. If you feel that you 'are being kept back in this way, why I not turn to that great woman’s reme|dy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable I Compound, which was manufactured from a thorough understanding of the nervous system of women?
