VOTING.

All the present four candidates 1of
the Senate-(there may be othels
later on)-have expressed thelr uesile
to have the contest settled IN a Demo
cratic primary. There is little douot-
(and there has never been any reai
ground for doubt)-that the STATE
Convention will order a primary to be
held on election day. open to all
voters who vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket from Constable to Presi-
dent. It is important that 1t be heid
on election day, so that a full vote will
be polled, and that the primary will
help the Democratic candidates by
giving the vote of every man who
wishes q voice in the senatorial prl-
mary A primary held earlier might
leave sores that would not e before
election day. but a primary on election
day would compel the friends OF every
candidate to work to secure Demo-
cratic votes in order to make h cleo
tor solicited eligible to vote for his
| choice for Senator.
It being therefore practically agreed
| upon by all that the senatorial con-
test will be settled by q primary on
election day, the only question that
| gives any trouble is how to settle the
contest If no one candidate receives
a majority in the primary on election
day. Three plans have been sug-
gested:
!. To leave the matter to the legis-
lators If nc candidate receives a ma
iority. This is not to be thought Of
for a minute. If the legislators are
to AVE any voice, then there Is no
need OF a primary at all.
2. To order a second primary. in
eligible to run.
3. To adopt the preferential system
In the first primary and thereby make
1t unnecessary to hold a second pri-
mary or to leave the matter TO the
Legislators.
h preferential primary is some
thing new in most American States
1t should neither be accepted nor re
jected because 1t is untried with us

discussion interest is not the fact, but his

discussion interest is not the fact, but his explanation of it.
 Dr. Grayson says in effect that the almost universally diseased condition of the chorus girls throats is due. after all other things have been taken into con sideration, to ignorance of their business. He points out that the average cnorus girl learns her part wholly by ear and thus fatigues her voice unnecessarily by being obliged to go over her work many more times than would a reader of music She must practice "starts" at the stroke of the conductors baton as a sprinter practices starts at the crack of trainer S pistol. Furthermore, few girls know how to keep themselves in good general con- dtion. and the doctor concludes with the statement that if there were no other reasons for trouble every chorus girl, through her ignorance of tone production, would suffer from laryngeal eatarrh.
 So, after all. it is not the hard work de- manded of the chorus girl that ruins her voice, but her own lack of preparation for her task.
 The fact that chorus singers in the United States are generally inferior to those in Europe has been noted by more than one musician. Mime. Gerville- Reaehe, one Of the great dramatic eontraltos of the day expressed her deep regret a few months ago because singers with real knowledge of their art and with moder- ately good voices cannot be persuaded to go into the opera choruses and earn an honest livelihood. Instead, they succumb to the idea that they are destined to be- come great stars and they spurn any more modest employment. They in turn like

THE CHORUS GIRLS VOICE
Because of Her Ignorance of Its Use
 and Powers, She Wears It Out

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Comparatively few of us, sitting before the footlights, think of the chorus girls life as a life which demands anything but series of joyful gyrations and light warbings. We see her only in her gay attire, and with her professional smile warm upon her lips.
 But there is another side of her life. a tragic side to which pr. Charles Provost Grayson, clinical professor of laryngoogy at the University of Pennsylvania intro- duces us in the current number of the Journal of the American Medical Assoeia- tion. pr. Grayson tells us that practi- cally every chorus girl suffers from ehron- ic laryngitis and he lets us infer that her almost inevitable fate Is loss of voice and, of course, loss of means of livelihood. This fact is known and made use of py many teachers of voice who endeavor to keep their pupils out of chorus work by painting the horrors of it's effects. Conse- quently the thing that gives pr. Grayson' s

SOME NEWS AND GOSSIP
 AMONG AUTOMOBILE MEN
By c. F. W. ENNIS

The proposed meeting of the auto mobile dealers for Friday night last was postponed until tomorrow night The reason for the postponement last week was previous engagements of some of the most important members of the organization. It was believed best to pass the meeting over until another time because the topics to be discussed involve some matters of the utmost in- portance and also magnitude
 It is stated that after the association has been organized upon the most sub stantial basis a discussion will insue as to the best way to work out perma- nent speedway in this community. It Is said that there has been quietly dis cussed the propriety of securing land holdings in Edgewood or near that sub division of Birmingham for the race course. The proposition made to indi- yidual members of the association and which vii be discussed 8 the forthcom- ins meeting is that the association ac- quire something like 400 acres in that locality. By creating the lake proposed l in that neighborhood something like l five times as large as East Lake and swinging a sweedway around that body of water with the necessary grand stands and seating arrangements, 1t Is | believed that a most picturesque and desirable proposition can be worked out In addition it is planned to have the automobile dealers and their friends ac- quire the unoperated Edgewood Coun- try club and operate that most desira ble social clubhouse in connection with the automobile speedway. It is also planned to develop attendance at the course by arranging motor boat races, shooting meets, automobile shows, speedway events, and all sports that may be had on a sheet of water as ideally situated and as accessible as the Edgewood l lake.
 Judge Dan Greene, president of the association, is inclined to view with fa- vor the proposition, which, while in It's infancy, is being widely discussed. With 125 members of the Edgewood club, with 200 members of the dealers asso- citation and subsidiaries and with con servatively 500 members belonging who own automobiles, it is believed a most attractive proposition can be created with the present scenery.
 | In addition to Judge Dan Greene. Os- car Turner, L. A. Whitehead. F. E. Whitehead. Steve Smith. Troupe Braz l. ton, John L. Parker and quite a num- bor of other prominent local men are earnestly in favor of the proposition. | Tie discussion at the association meet | ing will not in any degree become final but the indications are that the mat ter will be started and the chances are that a success will be achieved with | the proposition.

Big Apple Crop

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
 Prospects for bumper apple crop are to be found all over Southern Indiana and especially in the counties bordering on the Ohio river. Last seasons failure, due to the late frosts and heavy rains at blooming time, gave the trees an en- forced rest and time to produce an abund- ance of healthy fruit buds.
 Prof. C. c. Woodbury, horticulturist of the Purdue Experiment Station, has just completed an inspection trip through Southern Indiana. He reports the finest prospects seen in these districts for years In q recent interview Prof. Woodbury said:
 'The extreme cold weather of the past winter has seriously injured the peaches and plums, but does not seem to have done any harm to the apples. I have just visited some of the largest orchards

in the southern part of the state and find an excellent set of fine plump, healthy fruit buds A bumper crop can be ex- peeted in this section if the trees escape the late spring frosts and wet weather at blooming time
 "A fine set of fruit buds is the small est half of an abundant harvest The time is now past when a crop can be grown without attention. The trees must be pruned and sprayed consistently if a harvest of marketable fruit is to be ex- pected'
 Prof. Woodbury announced that any fruit growers who would take the trou- hle to write to Purdue would be sent a copy of a new circular on spraying. If the fruit growers of Clark. Floyd and Harrison counties would avail themselves of this offer and care for their trees as directed. 1t is declared the increase in value of this seasons crop alone would amount to over a million dollars.

 Other devices for making tires of this type have proved unsatisfactory. That is why this hood-lilIe demand for tires that can't rinl-cut centers on Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires.

Statistics , show that 23 per cent of ruined eld-type tires are rim-cut, This patent tire saves that 23 per cent.
 Experience Shows that 10 per cent oversize, under average conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage.
 These two features together mean an average saving of AS per cent,
