PICK SECRET ARY M'ADOO
As OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
Washington Politics Is Busy
on Speculation Following
SeCretay'S Western Trip

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president in 1920,
is the gossip of the capital building to-
day
Even war can't stop the habit of poll
tics here and that's why both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are watching
with the closest attention results of
Secretary McAdoo's trip around the
country in the. interests of floating the
liberty loan bonds.
There is no attempt by Democrats to
conceal their satisfaction over the re-
lception Secretary McAdoo is receiving
everywhere, his apparent popularity
through the west-and his success in,
as they say. delivering the goods"
One of the highest Democratic Off
Gals in Washington said today:
This trip of Mr.. McAdoo's may
Eventually prove to have been the thing
that first aroused the possibility of his
being a presidential candidate"
Neither Republicans nor Democrats
attribute any politics to the secretary
present tour but both admit that 1T is
bringing the secretary into touch with
the people of the country on great
patriotic question and is bound, there
fore, to establish him as a permanent
identity in their minds.
Secretary McAdoo being the son-in-
law of President Wilson, some argue.
probably is in a better position to IN
terpret the presidents mind and carry
out his policies than any other Demo
crat.
Around Mr.. McAdoo has centered
TINS far. the bulk of Americas first
part In the war-hnancing the allies.
During the war much will depend
lupon the successful operation OF the
federal bank system, of which he is the
directing authority.

LOVES LABOR LOST.
(Pittsburg Chronicle Telegram

(Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph)
One night four Princeton boys went
galy forth to serenade two bellies Of
the town. Arrived at the house of
the fair ones, they took their stand
under the correct window, as they
thought, and for some time made the
night more or less melodious.
They were just preparing to leave
when door opened and the jolly old
father of the girls appeared. Had it
been light they might possibly have
seen a twinkle in his eye.
Boys" said he, 1--WE are much
obliged. That is, am much obliged,
for I happen to be alone tonight. I
am sorry to say that the family is in
New York, but thank you for COM
ing. Maybe if you come again you
will have better luck. But in the
name of old Princeton, boys, if you
do come when the girls are here,
don't play to the bathroom window"

HIGH PRIVATE HAS EDGE ON
COMMISSIONED MAN.

The drafted man or the volunteer
who has no commission in Uncle
Sans fighting forces has something
to congratulate himself on, even if
his salary is less than that Of an
officer. The Army and Navy Journal,
a sefni-officia1 publication, states
that the English army lost 6,1s6 Off
GERS in May, and that the ratio was
one officer killed to every thirteen
enlisted men who lost their lives.
The high percentage of officers lost is
arousing a great deal of concern and
it is pointed out that the ratio in
other modern wars are considerably
less. In the Russo-Japanese conflict
one officer to thirty-six men was the
balance of the official figures.
When it is remembered that there
are approximately fifty men to a
commissioned officer it can be seen
that it is four times as safe to be
private as a captain or a lieutenant.

DOVE SHOOTING NEAR-GET
YOUR LICENSE.

The season for shooting doves will
soon be here, and hunters will be in
the fields from early dawn to late in
the evening. Dove shooting is said
to be fine sport, although it is a lit
tie bit tough on the gentle doves.
Game Warden Bush Bishop received
a letter Saturday morning from the
State Game and Fish Commission, ask
ing him to send out warnings to
prospective hunters regarding TAX
ing out licenses, and as to the OBJ
servance of the game laws. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that the hunter
be equipped with a hunting license,
W hich may be secured from County
Clerk Pearce Patton, and which must
be carried by the hunter while in the
fields.
The game laws are very strict
with reference to the closed season
for doves, and provide penalties of an
extreme kind for any violation. The
law reads as follows:
"Sec. 2.-Doves-When Unlawful
between the sixteenth day of October
and the 31st day of August, both days
inclusive, in any year, catch, kill, in
jure or pursue with any such intent,
any doves, or have in possession any
doves, or any part of any dove, dead
or alive, no matter when or where
caught or killed, whether caught or
killed in this State, or in any other
State, territory, county or place, ex
cept as provided in Section II of this
act"
Section II referred to-limits the
number of doves one may kill or have
in possession on any one day to fiji
teen, and this means in one day.
The section follows:
"Sec. 12.-Doves-Ba Limit. No
person shall shoot, kill or have in
possession more than fifteen (15)
doves in any one day, between the
first day of September and the 18th
day of October of any year, both
days inclusive: Provided, however,
that any person having hunted two
days or more in succession may have
a total not to exceed fifteen (15)
doves killed by himself for each day
during such hunt"
The game wardens have received
ironclad instructions from headquar-
tiers to see that the law is strictly
observed, and that no mercy be
shown to violators, whatever their
rank in life may be. And Mr.. Bishop
says this is exactly what will be done
in Bourbon county.

SINKING A SUBMARINE.
How the U-29 and Its Daring Crew
Were Sent to the Bottom.


Won Weddigen, the hero of the Ger
man submarine service, after sinking
the British cruisers AbOukir, Hogue
and Cressy was promoted to a better
ship and took command of the U-29,
in comparison with the U-9 biggish
brute, a regular peach" almost an un-
dersea liner.
After hard day on the job, looking
for game in the upper North sea, the
U-29 went ito Sleep" resting with a
slight negative buoyancy on a shelving
sand bank. Outside Of the watch officer
and the regular standing watch, all
hands must have turned in, sleeping in
their leather suits. 1t is supposed that,
as the watch at the telephones heard
the nearing propeller beats of Brit
ish destroyer screen, the alarm was
sounded-"Tauch station!'-with every
man flying to his post.
One might imagine that Won Weddi-
gen waited; that the microphones vi
brated the slow chugs Of big ship pro-
pellers, which told him that the Brit
ish feet was approaching. Blowing
his adjusting tank to submerged
trim, he came to fighting position. His
periscope tipped the surface.
He was lucky enough to come be-
tween the two columns Of the British
grand feet, steaming in line of squad
rons, with the Iron Duke leading the
right column, flying Jellicoe's flag The
periscope of the U-29 showed up half
way between the squadrons, six cables
apart. She got off her torpedo, which
passed under the Iron Duke. Immedi-
ately she fired No. 2, which also miss
ed, going astern. Because of danger of
smashing their own ships none of the
British gun crews dared to fire at the
German submarine. -...
But after the second torpedo some
thing went wrong with the U-29. Eli
Their the valves failed to work, which,
by taking water into compromising
tanks, were to equalize the weight Of
the discharged torpedoes, or at the in

She started Immediately to begin to
dive, but the dreadnaught, third in
the left column, swung out Of line and
went full speed for the q boat. The
big ship caught her on the ram, spear
ing her like q whale, and raised her
along the cutwater until the subma-
rine was half out Of water-a fash,
a grinding smash, the U-29 balancing
first one way, then the other, and final
ly dropping, the lettered bow foremost!
The dreadnanght swung back into col

without shot fired, the grand feet
proceeded.
This is the true story Of how Won
Weddigen persisted. It came from a

Automobile Radiators.

To assure the efficient operation and
long life Of your automobile 1t is es-
sential that the radiator be kept clean.
Every radiator has been designed for
the purpose Of dissipating some of the
heat from the engine to prevent it from
Overheating. The radiator can only
accomplish this, advises the Popular
Science Monthly, when the radiator
cells are cleared Of mud, so that the
comparatively cool air can circulate
through it. Yet many are the cars
which are allowed to clog up with mud
and dirt until it almost takes a ham,
mer to knock them out. A good antidote
is a powerful stream of water from a
hose, or where this may not be con-
venient stiff brush or a broom will
