EIGHT CITIES TO MAKE BIDS FOR O.O,^PARLEY Committee to Meet Monday at Washington and Select Convention Site. BY LEO R. SACK. W ASKTN GTON, Dec. 2.—The most spirited bidding in recent history for a national political convention will occur next Monday and Tuesday when the Republican National Committee meets here to choose the 1928 convention city. Eight cities are actively seeking the gathering which promises to rival the 1920 G. O. P. meeting at Chicago in its value as a political show. The fact that President Coolidge has not chosen to run makes it certain, there will be a vigorous contest for the nomination. This in turn brings crowds to the city and results in much* newspaper advertising. The coptesting cities are Cleveland, Denver, San Francisco, Detroit, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Chicago and Minneapolis. Before President Coolidge withdrew it appeared as if San Francisco would be an easy winner. But now that Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover is a prospective contestant, San Francisco’s chances are not so good. The theory is that the home state ’ might wield an undue influence ih the selection. The final choice it is believed, lies between San Francisco, Detroit,

They grow turnips that are TURNIPS on the A. H. Unversaw farm near Carmel, Ind. Harry Dorsey is shown with one of the prizes, weighing four pounds and measuring twenty-two inches around.

Kansas City and Cleveland. Henry Ford, may appear before the committee to extend the invitation. If he does he will be joining his former business partner Senator James Couzens, of Michigan. Cleveland will be represented by Congressman Theodore Burton and Carmi A. Thompson, who successfully pleaded for Cleveland four years ago. Philadelphia already, has established headquarters at which George B. Christian, former secretary to President Harding, is one of the hosts.

Large delegations will be present from each of the contesting cities, although most committeemen heretofore have been canvassed. President Coolidge, it was announced at the White House, is keeping hands off. Efforts were made to get him to use his influence in behalf of certain cities, but he is leaving the selection up to the committee.

Men who ought to know, because they have always paid high prices for clothes, tell us that these suits and overcoats have all the style and quality they expect to find at $50 —you may think they are a little too generous in their estimate; but we make the prediction that when you wear your first Richman suit or overcoat your friends can’t guess within twenty dollars of the price you paid, without seeing the label. Just now our showing of winter suits and overcoats is exceptionally attractive and complete you will enjoy making your selection from this big stock—every newly developed style is representd in a bewildering array of smartly fashionable weaves and colorings—sizes and proportions to make perfect fitting a certainty.

ROOST SALE OF SEALS BY RADIO Miller Urges Education of Child Against Disease. “The amount of adult tuberculosis can be reduced considerably by concentrating effort on the child,” said School Superintendent Charles F, Miller, in a talk over WFBM Thursday night as a part of the Christmas Seal hour of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, in connection with sale of Christmas seals and health bonds. “Studies among school children have shown about 10 per cent under high school age are under weight. This means their resistance to all diseases, as well as tuberculosis, is lessened. “So far as tuberculosis is concerned, approximately 80 per cent of the infection takes place under 16. This infection merely means tuberculosis bacillus has found lodgment in the body and does not mean that disease has set in. “To build physical resistance and prevent unnecessary cases of tuberculosis for the future,* the Marion County Tuberculosis Association has, through its campaign, built up several agencies for health improvement. “The county association supported through sale of Christmas seals, in carrying on this campaign, is making a stronger and more intelligent citizenship for the future.”
