Chicago girls are going stockingless this season and the custom is now said to be growing rapidly. They give as the principle reason that it saves money. Why stop at stockings’ Mr. Hoover has decided to make a dignified campaign, similar to that of Mr. Coolidge four years ago but the secretary should remember that conditions are entirely different and that a modest contest on his part may not get far if his opponent is furnishing all tiie front page copy. Dr. Shumaker is not going to the penal farm until he has to and will appeal his case to the supreme court of the United States. He does not expect a reversal there but it will give him time and thats the main thing for no one will blame him for fighting to the last ditch to retain his liberty. Gene Tunney, student of Shakespeare and world champion and Tom Heeney, blacksmith from the Antipodes, will meet in New York City tomorrow night for a glove battle to see which is the best man and incidentally to split a million dollar gate. You can get it over the radio and give yourself credit for the fifty dollars a ringside seat would cost. Senator Hiram Johnson is out for Hoover, as might well be expected since the Californian is a candidate for re-election himself. Brisbane says that settles the election"ln that state. Maybe it does, maybe it don't. The voters have a habit in recent years 1 of deciding things for themselves and ' without paying much attention to the politicians. 1 Mayor Krick and the city council will cooperate with the committees to make Old Home Week a successful event. They will see that special 1 lights are strung and that every preparation is made to take care of the extra load. During the week a display of electric machines of every kind will be made, the General Electric company showing e"very kind of modern convenience that will interest the public. John J. Raskob, national democratic chairman, has resigned his position as chairman of the finance board of General Motors, that he may devote his entire time to the big job he has tackled—that of making a president. His resignation was accepted by his board with much regret, but they will lose him only temporarily, for he will be reappointed in November. In the meantime he will give the campaign all of his attention and all of his ability, which means a three months run on high. The finance committee for Old Home Week are concluding their work this week. If there Is anybody , who desires to give to this good cause and has not done so, they can and should do so at once. A few of the business concerns are still hanging back but we are sure they will not want the list closed without their names upon it. The week will be the biggest ever enjoyed here and should have the sincerest support of every one. Babe Ruth has cracked out forty home runs so far this season and has Ml • ■ •

, TODAY’S CHUCKLE Wichita Falls. Tex., July 26 --(U.R) —Shades of the old tisne saloon holdups. A bandit robbed the owner of a drug store here and did it so quietly that patrons sipping sodas did not notice him. ten weeks to go. That he will set up a new world record is as sure as it is wonderful. He expects to retire after next season, but if he is going as good in a year from now as he has this season, the fans will probably persuade him to hang on for a season or two, and if the fellows who have charge of the box office for the Yanks are wise, and they are, they wifi probably make the next contract look so attractive that Babe just won’t be able to say no. Speeding and reckless driving of motor vehicles, operating them with the cut outs open and other violations of the motor laws must cease in De-

, catur. Orders have gone out to the police to see that such practises are stopped and there should be no need of other warnings. From time to time these matters have been called to the attention of the motorists and with the exception of a few the laws are being observed. Speeding is dangerous not only for those who thus engage but for every one else who happens to be in the path of their machines. Several arrests have been made the past few days and strict watch will be kept until the public realizes that the order Is meant to be enforced. Bob Hicks has sold his South Whitley magazine, Specialty Salesman, for $350,000, it is announced. About two decades ago Bob wandered into that little town with nothing but a dirty handkerchief and a comb case as his baggage. His magazine was started in due time in a very modest way. For years he has opposed every kind of a fake specialty and has come to be recognized as an authority on petty graft. Recently he attacked Frank Rozelle, a United States marshal, whom he charged with operating a fraudulent sales scheme and has made it mighty unpleasant for him and for Senator Robinson who appointed him. One of Bob’s traits was that when he started something he finished it and the chances are that even this sale will not prevent him from keeping after Rozelle with a sharp stick. On the night of August 22nd, Governor Al Smith will accept the democratic nomination for president, speaking from the steps of the New York state capitol. Ninety radio stations will pick up the message and send it on until every citizen who so desires will have the opportunity of hearing it. That the governor will have something to say which will be worth hearing—whether you are for him or not—goes without saying for thats the way he is made up. When he has something to say he says it and you will not need an interpreter to know what he means. He has done much for his state. He Is offered to j the citizens of the United States now i by millions of admirers who believe he can serve the people of this country to their distinct benefit. You will be given the opportunity To make up your minds by hearing him over the radios. Millions will listen in. ¥¥¥¥¥¥<>•¥¥¥¥¥* ♦ BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 3 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES lanthe."

All scientific writers tell us that all diseases arise from gastro intestinal trouble. Sau Yak Pilis are antiseptic i to that portion of animal or vegetable I food passing to the secum and colon undigested, causing decomposition and self poisoning. You can delav the time for putrefieation and old ago feeling by the use of San Yak Pills. Ordinary laxatives reduce the mucuous membrane of the lower bowels and create constipation. San Yak is antiseptic and non-irritating. It’s different. Sold at Smith, Yager & Falk drug store.
