The moat important committee to be named will be the resolutions. This committee will go to work at the Severin lintel at 9 o'clock that night to ;3rwft- the platform for presentation to the convention the next morning. , 1 .appears that there will be a fight' On only one proposed plank In the platform. This is in reference to the abolition of the direct statewide primary. There are two conflicting schools of thought on the direct primary question. Leaders in both the democratic 'and republi can; parties believe the primary should he abolished. Yet it is cer tain the democrats will not Incorporate a plank to this effect in their ly1nr. orr. It appears that they will be silent on the subject. There is a.-movement on in the republican ;party to have the resolutions com!m!tte take the same stand on the primary question. 1 i WAXT TO Of ST PRIMARY i It will be remembered that the re publican platform advisory commit 'tee Tceeting recently In Indianapolis j-with Chairman Lyons voted to sugigest to the resolutions committee (that the party go on record as favor ling a return to the delegate system of nominating In conventions. ; During the last few -weeks It ha ib-een Interesting to note the Inter test In the primary question displayled by many of tho leading newspaper of Indiana, Some of the strong Republican dallies have made earn est JJ'eas for an elimination of the direct primary. The chief fault found -with the direct -primary la that It has a tendency ' to disrupt party organization a thing which menaces our form of government and the second -that only a small portion of the voters taker part In a primary, - A." thing which Is privately discussed a. great deal by the leaden is the) probability of Lew Shank beinga candidate for Governor In 1924 If tb "primary la etlll In existence. Shank's power of attracting votes, not only from his party, but from democratic ranks. Is the reason he la fcelng feared. It la acknowledg!ed on every aide that Shank -would never s-tand a chance for the nomin ation In a convention, Tfaa chief business of the second day. of the convention, aside from adopting the platform, will be the nomination of state officers. None of the present state oeicers, all of whom are candidates for re-nomination, iUl have opposition, it now apears, with the exception of Patrick -J. Lynch, clerk of the supreme and appellate courts. Henry Roberts is out against him and has been making a campaign for several months. In bIs campaign literature he advertises himself as "Oh! Henry." Of course there may be come last j minute booms start for persons not HOW in til a I occi iui Hwuiiiiaiiuiio, other than that of clerk, will be niatfe by unanimous vote and, therefore; there will be few thrills on the second ?day -of .thesession.

STEEL MILLS Curbstones in Cities are Rapidly Being Depopulated BULLETIN) History repeats Itself. During 1920 plant superintendent of the Calumet region were' clamoring for laborers. Today the same condition exists. The labor shortage In the district Is estimated at nearly 5.000 men. By JAMES L. KILGALLEN CHICAGO, May 22. Men wanted! From all over the great Middle West a sudden and un-expected cry for labor is being raised. The farmers are appealing for men; so la the lumber industry, the steel mills, the state road builders, the railroads. the lake ooats and the summer re sorts. West Madison St., that teeming thoroughfare known as "Labor's Gateway to the West," Is undergoing a remarkable transformation as a consequence, -where the curb stones are being rapidly depopu lated. "Haven't seen anything like it in years," said Alfred ("Alf") A. Johnson, who lias managed a labor agency in the "street." for 26 years. "I can't get onough men. "Good times are coming back double quick. Nobody need be a bolshevik any more." SCOURINti AGENCIES FOR MEN The great floating army of harvesters all over the Middle West are beginning to shoulder pitchforks and march into the fields, Johnson said. Illinois, Kansas. Missouri and Oklahoma farmers arc offering $2.50 to $4.00 a day, with board, for harvest hands. The steel millr of Indiana, he said, have had representatives on the "street" the last ten days acouring the agencies for good men. The lumber industry in Wis consin and Michigan "can use thou sands of men right away." Summer resorts are calling for help and even the railroads that "haven't been doing much" in maintenance of way work are back in the market. Actually. Johnson fears, there will be a labor shortage as soon a the harvest season gets well under way One reason for this astonishing possibility, he explained, is "the enforced let up in immigration. REMINDER OF OLD DAYS "Those good old hard-working foreigners aren't coming across any more." he said, feelingly. And as the veteran job provider spoke, he edged toward the front window, a vivid sign "Men Wanted" in his hand. All along the "street." In fact, new pink and green signs are going up. They are reminders of the glittering days that were; they are due notice to the haunted looking army of unemployed in their flannel shirts and slouch hats that at last "things have opened up." MILTON SHUSTER PLEASES ORPHEUM i'JL Somewhat in the manner of Ed. Wynn, Milton Shuster with a bevy of girls and a male quartette, is giving a carnival of song, dance and jest at the Hammond Orpheum theater this week. Of Shuster it can be said that he merits the reputation he has gained In show business. Like the country church choir that Washington Irving wrote about, the chorus of the Shuster Musical Comedy Company was evidently selected not so much for ornamentation as utility. It is required of the girls that they participate in the singing of snatches from the operas and as well may be imagined Bethoven is neuter gender and common noun to the average naiad of the theater. In fact, it Is told of one lovely ccryph.ee that seeing- Beethoven's name chiseled on the prosecnium arch she -Whispered between kicks to the girl next in line, "Gee, the manager of this house Is stack on himself. He's got his name all over the place." Mr. Shuster Is to be complimented on acquiring a chorus that can sing a little, something very rare in tabloid musical entertainment. (The performance yesterday was thoroughly clean and there were a number of pretty numbers. Everything considered. Including the price of admission, it is an entirely satisfactory show, not elaborate or startling, but very nicely done. It is doubtful whether the Orpheum during its summer policy of girl shows will have anything as good again and surely nothing better. There is an entire change of bill today, Wednesday and Friday, the engagement of the Shuster company, ending Saturday night. Weather For Week. WASHINGTON, (May 22. The weather bureau issued the following outlook for this week. North and middle Atlantic states, southern Rock Mountain and plateau regions, upper Misslsippi and lower Mississippi valleys, northern Rocky Mountain and plateau regions; generally fair weather and moderate temperature, but with a probability of occasional showers. Pacific states; Generally fair and normal temperatures. Except for occasional showers along the north coast. '

Doc Sharrer and Queen of Hilo Island Fourth Installment of This Thrilling Tale of Hawaiian Romance. Great Scott. Betty. Betty, stop screaming: Why can't you kids go to bed like civilized children? What under the sun is the matter? Worms? In the bed? Johnny, did you put worms in Betty's bed? They must have crawled out of your pocket? What areNyou doln with worms in the pocket of your pajamas? Going fishing? When? In your sleep? Tomorrow? Well, put every one of those worms in a can and set it on the back porch. Quit holding your breath, Betty. The worms are gone. They wouldn't cat you anyway. Now. daddy, will tell the bedtime story. You don't think daddy tells the same one that comes over the radiophone at all? Well, maybe it isn't exactly the same, but anyhow you van understand what daddy is saying. Let's see. Tony Tapper served papers of eviction on the Qu;en of Hilo Island and the king, Doc Sharrer. and threw them out of the palace and the Queen got sore, at Doc and had him cast into the ocean to the sharks. Daddy told you that Saturday night, didn't he? Well, when Nick and Gust Bereolos hca-u that the palace was for rent and that it was the principle corner property on the island, thoy took a ninety-nine year lease and staited a hotel, restaurant and ice cream parlor and then the Gregory Theatrical syndicate came along nd bought up all the trusters on the island. . I.esconed by Mermaids. But that didn't help Doc out any. There he was swimming around in the Pacific ocean "trying to dodge the sharks. They kept nipping his curly locks until he didn't have any left and he hasn't any yet. I don't know what would have happened to him if the mermaids had not found him and taken him down to their palace under the sea. Doc was mighty glad to be rescued, believe me. "You've got a mice place here," said Doc looking around the palace after he had got his breath. "Yes. the boys all say It's a nice quiet place," said one of ths mermaids, putting a record on the Victrola. "It's kind of quiet, now that the campaign is over. Those candidates are sure good, spenders." "Well, well" says Doc rising to go. "Oh, don't rush away," says the mermaid. "Ain't you fcoing to buy a drink." "Nope," says Doc. "I gotta hurry back to the island." Rurled Treasure. So Doc swims back to the Island of Hilo and the first thing he sees on the beach was a champagne bottle and in the bottle was a parchment and on the parchment was this mysterious code: X.422-ZY-IX3 SW BY NE. And under the code was the picture of four trees and between the trees an arrow. Doc Jumped up and down in glee. "Hurrah, hurrah." he said. "It's the burlt-d treasure of the Lake County road contractor" SAYS "Tax POLICE BEPOBTSB IB BANDIT GANG HALTS BOULEVARD MOTORISTS An automobile loaded with men was stopped Sunday night on Calumet avenue by five unmasked bandits carrying guns. In the car were Joe Garrison and his brother Harry; Frank Taylor and Charles Witler. The bandits took a watch from every one of the men and if any of them had cash they took that too. In all they lost about $150 In money. It happened about BO yards south of Nelson's on Calumet avenue. BLACK OAK HOLD-UP Here's another bandit case. Viola Switzer, 211 Truman boulevard, la held up on the Black Oak road and robbed of 60 cents. She says two young men with handkerchiefs over their faces leaped from the shadows and holding arevolver at hef head took her money and pocket book. Chief Bunde says the Incident Is very strange. He has assigned twjo of his best detectives to "unravel the mystery. SIBLEY STREET HOUSE ROBBED. Not so thrilling was the burglary of the home of Mrs. Ed. Mason, at 259 Sibley street last night. Mrs. Nason used to keep her money in a little tin box In a clothes closet off the dining room. Well, burglars got In and found the box and took $16 in bills that was hidden there. And how did they get in? They took an old shingle and pushing it through a crack in, the screen door unfastened the latch and walked in MYSTERY SOLVED Now -we learn, who it was that smashed the silent policeman at the corner of Calumet and Highland stsi. It was W. S. Hutton. He lives at 3 Elizabeth street. You will reAnember that after smashing the traffic device the motorists sped away. Well Chief Bunde calling to Detectives Carlson and Warner, said, "Hist, iboys, I want you to find who did that." And they did. DO NT PAINT SIDEWALKS Chief Bunde has a warning for you Johnny, and all baseball players In the city. He says if competing teams do not stop painting their announcements of games on the sidewalks in front of churches, they'll be prohibited from painting the side walks anywhere in the city. The name "London" is a combination of two Celtic words, "lyn," meaning "lake,'' and "-dun," a fort.
