HOPES TO SELL SHELBY BOWS ON SOUTH SIDE Hack to 'Peddle’ Issue for Paving Among Interested Citizens. Oren S. Hack, works board president, today planned to “peddle” the $40,000 Shelby St. improvement bonds to south side citizens, who are urging the paving project. “South side residents have fought for this improvement for months. Now the project is at a standstill because we have no bidders for the bond issue. I have been advised that south side leaders are anxious to acquire the bonds, passing them out on to a family,” Hack declared. “The contract has been let and the board of works is anxious to go ahead with the improvement. Traffic is avoiding the use of Shelby between Troy and Madison Aves. as result of the delay.
Bank Fears Suit The works board and county commissioners awarded the $83,000 contract to Abel Brothers under the connecting link law. A $40,000 bond issue to pay the city's share of the costs was passed a month ago by city council, but no bids were received by City Controller Sterling R. Holt. A trust company had agreed to buy the bonds, but the law firm of Noel, Hickam, Boyd & Armstrong, attorneys for the bank, declined to approve the legality of the issue because of objections raised by the Interstate Public Service Company, it was said. The bank felt it would be “running a chance” of a lawsuit .to test the case if they purchased the bonds. William P. Evans, traction company attorney, raised the question of the improvement under the connecting link law, citing the Supreme Court decision on Baltimore Ave. The question was whether the improvement could be ordered under the connecting link statute which provides the county and city join in the paving.
Tratcion Company Opposed Th traction company fought the improvement because of the heavy expense entailed in laying new track. The contract provided that the traction company lay new track and a concrete base, the city and county laying the three-inch concrete top between the track. Assistant City Attorney Smiley N. Chambers, Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman and Frank Noll, Abel Brothers attorney, recently conferred with Evans in an effort to “smooth out” the objections. Evans said the traction company is not opposed to the improvement but does not desire to lay new tracks. South side business r -i .and civic organizations have fought for the improvement for two years, finally settling on the present plan.

In this article, the ninth in a series of ten, the Zitenfield Twins, amateur junior long distance . swimming champions explain how exercises help them swim. BY THE ZITENFIELD TWINS For NEA Service CERTAIN setting up exercises, based on the rhythm of swimming, give one a theory of swimming that helps tremendously in getting the knack of it. Try to think of the stroke as a kind of circular movement in which the entire body participates. Stand with feet together. Raise the arms even with the shoulders. Hold the fingers relaxed and the arms curved so they form a circle on a level with your chin. Now, if you turn on the radio or some other music which has a slow waltz, you can dance with your

arms and get the rhythm of swimming. Make the body move with the arms, keeping the feet still. A windmill’s movement is a good thing to have in mind. Throw the left arm out, turning the head to one side and breathing as you do it. Then as it goes down and back, revolve the other arm in the same way. Keep them alternating until your whole body feels the swing of the music. This is an excellent exercise for circulation, for litheness. But more than that, it is invaluable for giving you the easy motion that is the essence of good swimming. For swimming has behind it the same theory as the dance. It should be an outlet for the music in one. And unless it is rhythmic, it cannot be perfect swimming.

WALKER LAUDS TAMMANY HALL IN CALIFORNIA Cheered by Democrats of Coast in Answering G. 0. P. Challenge. BY RAY TUCKER SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—With Republican leaders of the Far West emphasizing Tammany Hall as a leading campaign issue. Mayor Walker of New York is taking the offensive against that organization’s critics during his visit to California. New York’s mayor-at-large, has been reticent in discussing Governor Smith because the latter has not been notfied officially of his nomination, but the traveling ambassador has eulogized not only Tammany, but the man most often associated with the , wigwam, the late Charles F. Murphy, former Democratic dictator of the metropolis. “It was Mr. Murphy,” Walker told a group at the Bohemian Club, “who inaugurated the era of reform that produced such outstanding men as Governor Smith, Senator Wagner and James A. Foley. It was Mr. Murphy who gave the impetus that led to the new Tammany. If it had not been for his vision and progressive ideas Governor Smith might never have had the opportunity to make New York one of the most forward looking States in the Union.” It was a bold piece of strategy, for out here the “defamers of Tammany” link Murphy’s name with those of Tweed and Croker and the assault on Smith will picture him as their direct descendant. The crowd who listened to the New Yorker cheered him loud and long, possibly due to the fact they

were Democratic leaders assembled by ex-Senator Phelan. Many Democratic leaders are insistent that Smith include the coast in his swing around the nation. Phelan and his group fedl that Smith's personality will overcome seme of the antagonism toward Tammany. Though this city, wet and Catholic, is expected to go to Smith, Hoover is usually counted on to carry the State by a large majority. Some Democrats profess confidence that the Democratic nominee will get such a tremendous vote in northern California that it will become a tight race for the State’s thirteen electoral votes. There seems little justification for that belief. But Smith or Hoover, wet or dry, Tammany or anti-Tammany, Walker has won the hearts of Californians. Crowds trail his car everywhere.

Well Known News Vendor Indorses The New Konjola States That Advanced Medicine Is Reliable Remedy for Completely Disordered Stomach.

Another surprising statement has been received which shows more clearly what Konjola is doing for sufferers in this vicinity. The statement came from Mr. Thomas McGraw, who has a host of friends in this city. Mr. McGraw is a news vendor on the northwest corner of Illinois and Washington Sts., and has been engaged in this work for more than seventeen years. He resides at 1338 W. Thirty-Third St. “I am very glad to recommend Konjola to my numerous friends as it has certainly proven a great medicine for me,” said Mr. McGraw "It would be impossible for me to say too much for a medicine which has done what Konjola has for me. It has made it possible for me to return to work after being forced to remain at home for several weeks. “I suffered from the worst kind of stomach trouble possible and it seemed to be that I was always in misery. There would be a terrible gnawing sensation the pit of my stomach which I thought came from hunger, but when I tried eating anything, the food always caused more trouble than it did good. Awful gas bloating came over me after every meal and although I was very careful about the foods, my digestive organs simply refused to act normally upon them. This trouble kept on for more than four years until I was finally forced to go to a hospital for treatment. Although this helped me somewhat I did not get complete relief and as a result, I thought my case was practically hopeless.
“When I left the hospital and returned to my home, I started on the treatment of Konjola, I realized I was in a bad condition so I did not expect too much from this medicine at the start. I had confidence in it and kept right on until I noticed a vast improvement. Although It. took some time, I flnaly overcame my trouble and now I am working my newspaper business at my corner every day jardless of weath r conditions. There is not a trace of stomach trouble remaining with me and I feel sure the re’ w Derma - nent. I really know that Konjola has improved my health in every way and I am more than glad indorse it so that others may benefit, by my experience. lam able to eat foods that I always desired and enjoy the meals so that I nourishment and have more strength and energy than ever before.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washing ton Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and mtroducing and explaining the merits M this remedy. Konjola is sold in every Hook Drug Store in this section and by all the leading d—-mists throughout this vicinity.—Advertise - Blent. --
