Champ Clark likes shirts that have a small red stripe. Not long ago he went into the shop of a Washington haberdasher to buy a dress shirt. Selecting one. he gave the clerk a $lO bill, and while waiting for his change wandered around looking at the shirts displayed. But let the former speaker tell us about it, says The Nation's Business. “I found a fine shirt with small red stripes and I like to wear that kind. During the war you could not get a shirt with red stripes which would not fade. I said to the clerk: “‘What is the price of that shirt?’ “ “Three dollars.’ “ “Give me that and take It out of the ten.’ “When he came back with the change he did not have enough and I called his attention to it. “ ’You are gouging me. What is that extra thirty cents for?’ “ That,’ replied the clerk. *ls the sales tax that you d fools enacted up there in congress’” Too General. Director General Hines said of a diagnosis of the railroad trouble: “That diagnosis won’t go down. It is too general. In fact, it reminds me of a young wife I know. “Her two-year-old baby was crying terribly one day at the lunch table. “ ‘What on earth is baby crying ebout?’ “The young wife made a distracted gesture. “ ‘lt’s either.’ she said, ‘that she wants more mince pie, or that she’s eaten too much!’ ’’ Oh, Fudge! “Got anything in the shape of a house?” “Got a full line of tents, Exact shape of a house.”

BROUGHT HIM TO THE POINT — Maiden’s Confession Was Something Most Dilatory Lover Could Hardly Affect to Ignore. For many months he had been eating ■ free suppers at her father’s expense i and the fair Mabel thought it time he got a move on. One evening as they sat together in the parlor she carried out her little scheme. “Oh, how funny,” she cried suddenly, as she turned over the pages of the evening paper. “What is it?” he asked. “Why, here’s an advertisement In which it says, ‘No reasonable offer refused.’ ” “What’s odd about that?” asked the young man in surprise. “Oh, nothing,” she replied coyly, trying to raise a blush, “but those are my sentiments exactly.” Lax Laws. Governor Smith, advocating stricter divorce laws, said in Albany the other day: “They told me at Atlantic City on Easter Sunday a story about a beautiful young woman at one of the leading hotels. It seems that she was heard to sigh bitterly and exclaim: “What annoys me Isn’t George’s desertion but the fact that my next husband will be the thirteenth.” Self-control does more for a naan than government control.

Cox|jr^ Nominated IRP

Convention Hall, San Francisco, July 6.—James M. Cox of Ohio and Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York have been selected by the Democratic national convention as the candidates of that party for president and vice president. The naming of Cox as the presidential candidate came on the forty-fourth ballot after one of the tightest deadlocks in the history of American politics. In 1860 it took 59 ballots to make Stephen A. Douglas the standard bearer of the Democratic party; in 1868 it took 22 ballots to name Horatio Seymour, and in 1912 4G ballots were required to land Woodrow Wilson as the winner. Outside of these, the Democratic choice has been arrived at with not more that five ballots. The balloting began at the evening < session Friday, a«t=x the piaiTorin finally had been gotten out of the way. The first ballot showed McAdoo sllghtlj’ in the lead over Palmer, with Cox in third place. The first ballot ■ -follows: McAdoo, 266; Palmer, 256; Cox, 134; Smith, 109; Gerard, 21 ; Cummings, 25; Owen. 38; Hitchcock, 18; Meredith, 27; Edwards, 42; Davis. 32; Glass, 26%; Simmons* 24; Harrison, 6; Williams, 20: Marshall, 35; Wood, 4; Clark. 9; Underwood, 35% ; Hearst, 1; Bryan, 1; Colby, 1; Daniels, 1. Cox Takes Lead. From then on until the eleventh ballot the leaders kept their places with slightly fluctuating figures. On the twelfth ballot Cox Jumped into the lead j with 404 votes and held that place, | gradually increasing his total, until the | ! thirtieth when McAdoo again Jumped to the front with 403% votes to Cox’s ' 400%. Before the thirty-ninth ballot was taken Attorney General Palmer with- , drew from the race and released his I delegates. The 211 delegates with I whom Palmer left the field were diI vided between Cox and McAdoo. Cox I Ji ■■ James M. Cox. regained the lead with the thirty-ninth ballot, polling 4G8% to McAdoo's 440. ■ Cox increased his lead on every ballot following until he landed a winner 1 and was declared the unanimous choice of the party. Late into Saturday night the conven- I tion continued balloting, and with no । prospect in sight of arriving at a decision adjournment was taken over l Sunday, after the twenty-second ballot was announced. This afforded a ; breathing spell for the majority of the tired delegates. But for the leaders there was no rest. Cdhference after conference was held In an effort to , unite on some candidate that would be acceptable to the convention. The End at Last. Monday morning the convention reassembled and with a brief recess late In the afternoon continued the balloting. As ballot after ballot was rolled off with monotonous regularity the end seemed farther off than ever. Periods of pandemonium prevailed while the voting proceeded, while the leaders of the opposing factions were | feverishly striving to effect comhina- | tions that would accomplish the noin- i ination of a candidate before fatigue i forced an adjournment of that ses- j sion of the convention. It was early Tuesday morning when । the break came with Cox’s nomination. ' The weary delegates gave vent to their I relief in wild whoops of joy that developed Into a l>edlam of noise and confusion. The Platform Fight. The platform, the struggle over which in the committee on resolutions, had kept the convention practically marking time for several days, was ptesentod at the morning session Friday. As bad been expected, the con- | lest over the liquor plank and the ; plank of the League of Nations was j carried to the floor of the convention, ■ but in *llO end the platform was adopted exactly as it had been reported by the comittee. Bryan was given a big demonstra- ; tion when he took the floor and de- j manded that the bquor plank be absolutely bone dry. Bourke Cockran, the New York orator, urged a plank to permit cider, beer and light wines for home consumption. Bryan’s amendOpium Production. Opium is the product of the poppj | which onlj’ grows to perfection in a ' tropical or sub-tropical climate. The i part of the British empire that pro- I duces the most opium is India, and there production is restricted. The poppj' may now be grown by individ- ; uals or private companies only in the imited provinces. Agra and Oudh, • and in the central Indian native ■ states. Except in those states the 1 maim fact ure of opium is a goveru- ; meut monopoly. I

ment mustered only 155% votes, while 356 favored the Cockran Idea. But Bryan wasn’t through. Hff wanted th^ platform to declare for ratification of the peace treaty with reservations attached to the League of Nations covenant, a plank on profiteering and another opposing universal military training. For all of these ho fought hard and went down to defeat with one of the greatest demonstrations ever given a man in a political convention. Secretary of State Colhy and Senator Carter Glassled the administration forces In the 1 battle for the adoption of the platforhi ns reported by tho - committee. I The Irish leaders, who had made a hard fight in the committee for recognltlonof »•? Irtish Republic, took their mention fl OO r, but lost out by a vote 41)2^ to G7G, Opens . Vith Keynote. The openingLsession of the convention was call* to order Monday by Vice Chairman -wer, who made a short •linu'ess iTren Introduced Temporary Chidrman Homer S. Cummings who had been designated to sound the “keynote” for Democracy. As soon ns the convention was called to order the band stuck up “The StarSpangled Banner,” and ri£lit at the opening bars an American flag, probably the largest ever used indoors, was dropped back of the chairman. A spotlight played on the center of the flag, and then ns the huge bunting was drawn back, the spotlight was found resting on a painting of President Wilson. This was the signal for the j first demonstration of tho convention It lasted for several minutes and was pitnetuated with cheers for the presl- ‘ ; dent. Temporary Chairman Cummings, In Ids speech, condemned the Republic- ’ ; ans for their actions during the past . year. He culled forth cheers by his , caustic allusion to the Republican ; ticket, and what he cnlh'd their “plat-j form of political expediency." He congratulated the administratbm for its accomplishments during the wnr ' nod praised President Wilson for his leadership of the nation to victory. He denounced the Republicans for their failure to enact constructive leg- j Islation, and declared that the pros!- i dent had been “persecuted by heartless partisans" after he lay on Ids sick bed. Turning to the League of Nations, Mr. Cummings declnr d that it was absolutely necessary for the salvation of the world, and that the Re- ( publicans were responsible for the failure to ratify the treaty. Appointment of the usual committees completed the first day’s work. Robinson Takes Chair. The iirst bUNtf.ess of the session on | Tuesday was the report of the commit tee on credentials. The only sen- j sationnl features of this report were J ' the seating of the Palmer delegation from Georgia and the exclusion of Senator Reed of Missouri. Senator Robinson of Arkansas was elected permanent chairman on the recommendation of the committee on permanent organization. His address followed largely the lines of that of Cummings the day before. His references to the League of Nations brought the delegates to their feet | । with a whoop. He declared that the convention must stand for article ten unchanged as the one part of the covI enant which “outlaws wars for conquest and unites the moral and military strength of all nations against | any stare threatening to invade and overrun another.” At the conclusion of Senator Robinson's address the committee on rules I and order of business submitted a report providing that the nominating speeches should be heard before the report of the committee ond platform was submitted, and placed a time limit on them. The third day was entirely taken up with orations of those who had been picked to place the names of the various candidates before the convention. The following were nominated In the order given: Robert L. Owen, Oklahoma; James W. Gerard, New York; Homer S. Cummings, Connecticut; Gil- > bort M. Hitchcock, Nebraska; A. Mitchell Palmer, Pennsylvania; Edwin :T. Meredith, Iowa; James M. Cox, I j Ohio; A. E. Smith, New York; Wil- ' Ham G. McAdoo, New York; Edward I. Edwards, New Jersey. Field. The total of \.^^!luates was brought i up to 14 Thursday when the follow- > ing names were’added to the list: F. W. Simmons, N%nh Carolina; Carter Glass. Virginia * *>hn W. Davis, West Virginia; I Burton Harrison, New Y'ork. <? The delegates were eager to get down to the balloting, but under the rules this could not be done until the platform was adopted. The convention took a recess until eight o’clock ; in the evening, to give the resolutions committee more time ip which tn i thresh nut its difficulties. At the evening session the new na- : tional committee, masculine and semi- ' nine, was announced and the rest of ! the evening was given over to a singi song. Announcement of the re-elec-tion of Clark Howell of Georgia as national committeeman was greeted with loud cheers. He is the dean of the committee. He has served ever since 1892. No Gratitude.

False Claims. W E hope there is no Mother who thinks she can treat her sick baby without calling in a Physician, or with remedies that she uses for herself. Most Mothers know that Baby requires remedies especially prepared for babies, yet there are some who think that what is good enough for them is good enough for Baby, and it is to these Mothers we appeal to give nothing to their babies that is not specially prepared for babies or recommended by their Physician. False claims may kill, but false claims can never restore your child.

A school inspector visited one of the schools over which he bears rule, and made something of a spvecii to the hssenibled children. “Now," said the great man, “the thing that you want to keep In mind Is that you should always seek to do some one thing better than anyone else can do It. You can begin to do that right now.

IJUST MADE HIM HOMESICK Cookery Book Brougnt Fond Recollections to Colored Doughboy Serving in France. He was very black, says the Saturday Evening Post, and in his khaki he looked like coffee and chocolate Ice cream. After eating a hearty meal In the American Red Cross canteen he sat down with a book near the counter. The kind-hearted worker looked over once or twice in his direction and was surprised to see big tears rolling down his cheeks. “Why, this will never do,” she said kindly. “Is there anything I can do to help you? I’ll be glad to. If I can.” He dug his knuckles Into bls eyes and replied: “I sholy am ashamed to make a baby outen myself, ma’am. This yer book done make me so mighty homesick.” She picked up the book he had been reading. It was the canteen cookbook. and It was opened at the secI tion on “How to Fry Chicken.” We Say So, Too. He was a bashful young man and : he wished much to propose to his best ‘ girl. Every time he called on her he i tried to give expression to his desire, but he simply could not do so. Then । he decided to find some other fitting ; way, and just as he was racking his ; brain most he happened to see in a . window r postal card on which there . was the picture of a bride end a bride- ’ groom. He bought the card, addressed It to his best girl, and signed his name. Then under the touching scene he ; wrote: “Eventually—Why not now?” Then he maf’°d it. And she answered it —satisfactorily, too. * Her Wish. “Is your husband fond of golf?” ' “I’ll say so. I wish he paid as much attention to me as he does to . that old game.” If there is work enough “to go around” there is likely to be money i enough.
