REPUBLICANS WILL
MEET ON AUGUST 8
Who Will be Candidate For Comp
troIler j. Il Question-'ShoW
Likely to be Good.

Galen l.. TAFT. chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee,
yesterday issued call for a meeting
of his committee for ! p. IN. August
! :. al the Hotel Rennert, Baltimore.
The Immediate business OF the
meeting will be to ratify the selec-
tion of the date for the joint primary
already agreed upon by Mr. TAFT and
! Chairman j. Hubert Wade, of the
i Democratic committee, which date IS
! Tuesday. Sept H. and also to au-
! thOrize the calling OF the State Con-
|ention to name the candidate-1n-c
Comptroller.
Just who the Republican leaders
have in mind for State Comptroller
, j. question unanswered. Months
, ago there was 'aIk that William f..
Stone, l0rmer Collector and now
Moving Picture Censor might run.
| bur all such talk has ceased since the
! special session OF the Legislature,
when il developed that there was d
hard ana fast combination among o.
! Z, Weller William p. jackson and
! senator France 10 manage party az
/ fairs their own way whether Mr..
! stone liked il or not.
Since then Mr. Stone sat at table
With Governor Goldsborough and
4 they chatted in such friendly manner
! that outsiders got the idea that they
/ had made political combination to
! fight the other crowd. Then along
came a statement from Mr.. Jackson,
! who was ensconced in his summer
lodge in the Adirondacks, saying
! that he was right in the combination
+ with Weller and France for the good
/ of the party and would be glad to
/ have the Others go along and help.
Following this was a statement by
/ Mr. Stone saying that he had made
no combination with Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough.
1t is evident. however. that the
/ Weller. Jackson, France people are
running things and that they are go
/ ing to run them at the State Conven
i ton. that they have hope of beins
! able to elect their candidate for
! Comptroller, get the Legislature on
joint ballot and thus get control OF
4 the Board Of Public Works by elect
/ ing Il State Treasurer.
At any rate there is every reason
/ TO believe that the Republicans, like
+ the city crowd Democrats in the Spe-
/ ciai session of the Legislature. Will
give Il good show. even if they do
not please all the audience.

BEAN BAG BALL IS AMUSING
r'ayer Who Throws Most Bags Into
Basket Is Winner-Another Game
Also Described.

A game called bean bag BALI ia
played by suspending a basket by a
rope from a doorway or some other
place where it can swing freely. Place
the first player at a certain distance
frou 1t and give him three or four
bean bags, or as many as YOU have
Then pull the basket to a certain
height and let it swing back. The
player tries to throw the bean haas
into the basket while It is swinging
he is allowed only a certain time
out within that time he can use tho
bean bags that have missed over again
tSomeone else can pick them up for
him. The player who places most in
the basket wins. 1t is well to remove
your mothers best vase from the shelf
near the doorway and to warn the
members Of the household against en-.
tering the room Unexpectedly.
Another bean-bag game is to place
the players in three groups. The first
group throws to the last group and
the group in between tries to catch
.he bean bags on the fly.

Bunch and his wife, Alice, live out
