STIVERS URGES VOTERS TO GIVE COMSTOCK AID " j Charles V. Stivers, editor of the , Liberty (lad.) Herald, and one of the beat-known Republicans In the Sixth 'district. In an interview given out today while In Richmond, urged tho nomination of Judge D. V. Com stock, of Richmond, as representative In congress. Mr. Stlvere said: "With Judge Comstock as our candidate for congress there would be no question as to the duty and pleasure of every Republican in the Sixth district to unite in redeeming the district from the Democratic party the same old party that said in 1864, 'not another man nor another dollar for this ; unholy war, the war in which Judge Comstock, as a young man, waa then imperiling his life to bring to a successful close, for the welfare of our country and the benefit of we who live today. , I "Surely the Republican- voters of ; Wayne ceunty, especially, and of the ' Sixth district should realize their duty and privilege of securing the nomina- ! Won of Judge Comstock as their stand- ! ard bearer for congress, thus insuring victory over our political adversaries, decisive as that won by Comstock and his comrades over the 'Johnnies' in 1865. "Judge Comstock's nomination would i thoroughly unite the Republican party ; throughout the Sixth district and ini sure Republican victory In November, as no weight would have to be carried, nor continuous explanations made with him as our color bearer. "What we need as a parly is control of the American congress, that we may legislate for the welfare and prosperity of all the people and the honor of our country's flag. Comstock's nomination would insure this as far as the Sixth district is concerned, and this is the all-important thing with Republicans of this district. Let the party awake to the importance of its privilege, its opportunity and duty on March 7."

BOARD OUTLINE

CITY'S FINANCES BEFORE COUNCIL The following ' eammtfnleatiott was received by council taet bight from the board of public werfcsl "The failure to negotiate a temper ary loan to consummate the purchase of the Light, Heat and Power eleotrie plant necessitates an issue ef bonds to the amount of $80,000, and as a result the board feels that insofar as this amount is charged against tho city's credit although a debt against tho city plant, it would be expedient to modify, by curtailment, the original program of publlo Improvements. "The improvements acted upon and submitted to you for approval (the paving of Richmond avenue and of Ft Wayne avenue) can be completed and kent within the. appropriation for this year, and If It conform to your judgment we would suggest that no further improvements than what can be paid for out of the appropriation be made. "It might be a blessing to this city that this bond issue was made neces sary, as the delaying of these Improvements need not be for more than two years, when by the consummation of the plant deal, the city will have the legal right to apply certain revenues from the plant's earnings to general fund purposes, making it possible to carry out these contemplated improvements without incurring a further bonded debt. "While we should have been glad to have accredited to us the envious record of putting our city in class A A, we must surrender this credit to those who may follow us, being contented to have paved the way to such results. We still favor the motorizing of the fire department together with a combination ambulance and patrol for the police department, at which point it would be well to stop." PEACOCK UNDECIDED WHETHER TO TESTIFY Mordecai Doddridge, president of the board of county commissioners, said today that an effort is being made by the commissioners this week to induce all persons who have any Information on bridge work of Engineer Mueller, to testify before the board Saturday. "As a board we are doing our best to get to the bottom of this tr&uble between Mueller and Peacock," said Mr. Doddridge. County Surveyor Peacock reiterated the statement he made Monday that he had not decided whether he would testify before the board. He has told the commissioners that he has first hand information on the bridge work of Mueller but says that he does not know whether now is the time to make it public. Mr. Doddridge said that if Peacock has information that the commissioners should have, he would be showing "bad faith" in not appearing Saturday and giving the information under oath. WITHHOLDS DECISION ON WRESTLING BOUTS No decision has been made by Special Judge Lindemuth on the hearing in circuit court in which Bernard Lichenstadt asked for a permanent injunction against the marshal and town official of Hagerstown, who threatened to arrest him for promoting a wrestling match.

Nohr, Jr., supervisor of athletics in the Richmond schools. Military training consisting of drills and marches is' only a part of physical training, he declared. "If a man Is physically fit" said Director Nohr,' "he makes ten times a better soldier than the tinseled and bejeweled and false uniform man who is but half a man. "Germany originated physical training and is the highest developed nation in tbat study. Yet no form of military training as it is generally known is practiced in the schools. "Physical training in the schools should be compulsory for all students, especially women. Physical fitness produces moral courage and that! awakens a spirit of antagonism that enables a man to fight the better."
