They Find 1t Better Than Inter

Cold Troubles.

In the South everyone uses Vick's
Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms of
cold troubles. But when it was intro
duced in st. Joseph, Mo, for the first
time, last winter, the local druggists
naturally were skeptical. They did not
believe that Group could be relieved
in fifteen minutes just by rubbing
with Vap-O-Rub, or that colds COM

going around Chicago in limousine this
afternoon signing up ministers who are
expected to convert the cupid special
of yesterday into a honeymoon special OF

Meanwhile in Chicago the wooing has
become a city problem. A large amount
of open air love-making was seen in

women have been assigned to stroll along
among the crowds to cast an unobstru-
Eive, but watchful eye over the couples
draped on the park benches.
The SNOWFALL which the bachelors start

u. S. SUPREME COURT
IGNORES UNIONISTS

The possibility of recurrence of the
nationwide railroad strike crisis on jan
uary l failed to move the Supreme Court
unduly to hasten consideration Of the
test case involving the Adamson eight
hour-day law. The court yesterday or
dered the test suit brought by the Mis-
souri,. Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad set
for argument on January s. eight days
after the effective date of the. .Adamson
law.
By this action the court ignored the
threat of brotherhood leaders that unless
the eight-hour law was applied on jan
uary the country would be confronted
with the possibility OF a railroad tie-up.
With the Missouri case pending, the
government Is enjoined from any attempt
to enforce the law until the Supreme
Court reaches a decision. After the
case has been argued on January g. ii is
certain that the court will take a month
or more to consider 1t. A decision is not
anticipated before spring
