New York Detroit is boasting that she is the wettest city In America but wait until Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans and a few other border towns present their claims, it may bo quite a contest. If announcement made by a famous ' film star that only one woman in five hundred has beautiful knees is correct, the efforts of the National Garment Retailer’s Association to establish a style of knee showing, will fail. It’s a good thing something is slowing up the skirt rise. The sale of Chautauqua tickets is moving along in a most satisfactory ' manner and indications are that the ’ entire q 110(0 of' 510 season tickets subscribed will be taken up within a few days. That's fine and shows the proper spirit of the citizens of a 1 propel community. Season family tickets for the fair are now on sale and many are taking the opportunty to secure admission ♦to every performance for the whole , family tor the very nominal sum ol two dollars. That certainly puts it , within the reach of every one who so desires to take in the whole show. 1 Over 153,000.000 was raised by Indiana for taxes yast year while dur- f ing the Ralston administration the ( cost of government was but eight million. Unless your income is six 1 tmes greater now than it was a few 1 year's ago, you are getting considerably the worst of this business (?) j .., , ...... . Senators Watson and Robinson ( seem to have special designs on the twelfth district for though they have ‘ been the headliners in several meet- f ings there already they are to appear fit Tri-lake on September 2nd. ' According to reports a lot of repubHearts up that way are for Woollen Rnd Stump and its doubtful if these ‘ fish fry entertainments will change Them. If Atlce Pomerene can defeat Sen ator Willis in Ohio in November, the contest for the next democratic presidential nomination will probably be largely disposed of. Mr. Pomerene is a real statesman, proven by twelve years of splendid service in the sen ate and would prove acceptable east, west and south. Woollen and Pom erene or Pomerene and Woollen would make an exceptionally strong combination for 1928. Coal prices are advancing and will probably continue to do so for the next few months, caused, it is said by the large shipments to England where the miners have been on strike for many months. An advance of from twenty five cents to a dollar per ton this week should make every one think about filling the ( fuel bin now. The prices won't go lower, they may go considerably Higher. ( A thousand clerks at fancy salaries are now engaged in sending out campaign literature from, the \ offices of senators and congressmen in Washington and the government does not receive a penny for postage on all this junk and bunk. And the sad part of it is that ninety-nine per , rent of it goes in to the waste baskets over the country, unopened.

* I There Is certainly one place where [' the government could save some real money if the economical desires are half way on the level. The senate has a rule that when ’• any person refuses to answer a t question put by a fnember of a senate investigating committee, that person may be fined from 3100 to 11,000 and sent to jail for from one , to twelve mouths. In the recent eleci tion probe in Chicago Samuel Insul, 1 millionaire traction baron refused to say “yes" or "no" and Senator Reed has cited him for contempt. Now we should see whether the senate can form itself into a court or not. For some reason the question has never been decided by the fderal court but the fighting Missouri senator says it will be before he Is through with this investigation. Tlie Anti-Cigarette League and the No-Tobacco League announce a crusade to stamp out the use of tobacco In any form in this country. Leaders of the movement say the plans will be similar to those used in securing adoption of the eighteenth amendment and the first fight will be to secure legislation to prevent the women from smoking cigarettes. Now we don't particularly care about seeing women smoking nor do we argue there is any benefit in the habit either for men or women but we don’t believe the people care to have law makers put any further restrictions upon them and if we want to smoks and can relax by doing so we (Claim the same right to do it as you >iav e to sip your tea and coffee or chew your gum. We can’t see where its harming any one else and we fail to understand how an organization ’can make it their business. We don’t mind telling you we're not for the movement.

The food and the constant confinement made me ill once more and 1 wrote Abani asking him to let me come back to Calcutta. I got no answer from my husband. My illness was getting worse and, as 1 tMnk of it now, I believe my mind was even becoming affected. So I fled from the sanatorium one day with the help of a friend I had met in Calcutta, and put up under a different name at one of the leading Darjeeling resort Hotels. Had I attonpted to register as Mrs. Abani Bose I would have been refused a room because of th.- English discrimination against natives. Abani at last answered my letter, but instead of sympathizing with me, he reproved me for not doing just as his dentist friend had ordered Hie. And that would have meant being a virtual slave. My Illness and Abani’s heartless letter made me desperate. 1 wanted to end it. I took a large overdose of sleeping tablets before retiring one night, with the hope that 1 would never awaken. But I had not taken quite enough. 1 woke up delirious several days later. A Colonel Proctor, who besides be ing a physician, was also a member
