Points Out "Jokers" in Cam
paign Measure.

1r an open letter addressed to mem
bers Of the House. Judson King. exec
utive secretary of the National Popular
Government League, brands the Rucker

terms.
In pointing out the "jokers" in the
Rucker bill. Mr.. King says:
The Rucker bill for publicity of cam
peign funds, pending as unfinished busi-
ness Of the Committee Of the Whole for
calendar Wednesday. is a fake.
This leegue is actively in favor OF
publicity law which will give real
publicity and protect the purity of cleo
tions. We shall inform the voters OF
the various Congressional districts of
the action of Congress in this matte
and trust we shall be able to report
Your vote and influence as against the
Jokers in this bill and for an honest
law-such as has been introduced by
Senator Owen and which the President
Is reported to favor. The test comes
on amendn ents and detailed provisions,
not on the final vote. No man can be
counted a friend Of publicity who votes
FOR 1okers, or does not demand a roll
call on the critical points.

At the urgent request OF the manage
ment Of Glen Echo. there has been such
rearrangement OF the street car
schedules to and from the resort that
the car ride along the river bank and
the famous conduit road promises to be
one OF the most enjoyable features of a
visit to the park. The changes that
have been made now make II possible
to go all the way to the glen from the
center Of the city in cool comfort. After
arrival at the resort there Is, of course,
the dancing pavilion. the free moving
picture show and many other attrac-
tions of the best sort to attract the visi-
tor, and at the new exit cars are al
ways found waiting to take the visitor
back to the city, finishing UP the even
ing with another pleasant car ride.
Colonial Beach, "washington's Allan

summer continues and the vacation and
play spirit Is abroad. Salt water bath
ing, fishing, and grabbing arc always
available at the resort. The mariners
and young salts are given an oppor-
tunity to sail. and those who do not
rebel at exertion find plenty OF op-
portunity for dancing in the pavilion.
Not the least enjoyable part of the
Colonial Beach visit Is the trip to and
from the resort. The steamer st. Johns

The record tells Of the days catch,
of what particular pool the prize re-
luctantly left, how the sun was either
shining his prettiest or was indulgently
hiding behind a lowering cloud: what
bait the fish took. who was along,
what the hour was, and the weight OF
the fish, and any more data which will
serve to refresh a memory only too
prone to give up its treasures In a rosy
light.
There is nothing better for the weary
business man who has striven for days

matters little whether a stupendous
