Scores of Men,

0NOfCS Vi fWSH.
PThe hour OF closing at the Y. M. G.
A. building which changed to ten
o'clock will be changed back TO eleven
o'clock. The earlier hours did not
give the clerks in +he stores chance
TO enjoy the privilege hence the
change to eleven. 1t Is hoped that
now as the hour has been changed to
suit these men that they will use the
privileges
The warm weather of Saturday
proved the value OF the swimming
pool. over a hundred men availed
themselves of the privilege OF taking
a bath in the cool water. This kind
of weather, when the very touch OF
under garments seems irritating, a
shower bath followed by a plunge in
the pool makes a combination which
is most refreshing to the body. For
the benefit OF the older men who
would like to avail themselves of thts
privilege. the rule lequiring no trunks
to be worn will be modified so as 70
permit the use OF the short whiEe
trunk.

viii Support Dawson.

Dillon's announcement that he in
tends to support Dawson for Senator,
at first considered a joke, has assum-
ed large proportions, particularly in
the southern section of the State.
West Virginia is divided into two
parts politically, and the line of de-
marcation between these two parts is
becoming more apparent as the north
ern division continues to send men TO
the Senate.
Thre factors nave been responsible
for the formation of the coalition
against Scott. Dillon felt that he was
entitled to the appointment ds dis
trict attorney for the Southern dis
trict of West Virginia. When that APP
pointment went to Judge Ritz, it was
the prover')ial straw that broke the

runs for the United States Senate.
For many years Dixon welded SUI
