count RhOndda, British food con-
troller, proposes to claim her rights

with traditional theories.
Should she decide to claim her
right, Lady Rhondda will have to
prove her succession to the salts

Contemptuous smiles and jocular

Of the German long range shell in

q resumption of the bombardment

comments.

revenge soon were heard, however,

COPIES OF ARGUS
CHEER ENGINEERS

Proof that The Argus is reaching
into battle-swept France and that
copies of the paper are bringing
cheer TO the Americans serving
with the forces overseas, is shown
in a letter TO The Argus from Pri-
vate John Robinson. a former Is.
lander who Is serving with the en-
gineers. His letter is appended:

July, and the French celebrated

for the Yanks. We have been over
here just q year The first six
months were very severe on US OF
course. the French operate their
roads altogether different than we
do in America, and the equipment
is different When we took the
road over the weather was very bad
very rainy and cold. We had no
cabins on the engines to shelter us
from the wind and rain. The cOun-
try and language were new, and
we had quite a time. However, it
did not take long TO get hold of it,
and now we can give the French
lessons. They say that the Ameri-
cans railroad too quickly We have
had no accidents to speak Of The
French government thinks so much
of US that they are going TO give US
some more important roads to op-
crate.

LITTLE PROSPECT
OF RELIEF FROM
EXCESSIVE HEAT

Washington, Aug. Ga showei
area in the far north, that is in
creasing in size, offers the only
promise of relief from the excess
i've heat wave which today over
spreads the entire eastern half Of
the country from the lower Mis-
souri, valley to the Atlantic coast.
Relief from that source, however,
is not in immediate prospect for
the sweltering eastern districts.
since at least from SO to As hours
must pass before the showers
travel eastward far enough TO
make their influence felt.
There is prospect of local rains
along the lower lakes and in the
Lake Superior region, which should
relieve the hot spell in those sec

PETER PANS FOR
HOUR IN PARADE
Prominent Bloomington Officials
Perched on Circus Wagons
Ride Through Streets.

There were a couple Of Peter
Pans in the Sells-Floto circus par
ade this foTenOon-a couple or
men. we'll known in Indiana poll
tics and in the public and social
life OF Bloomington, Ind, from
whence they hail.
As the big, red and gold dens
and cages rolled along Third ave
nue., these men, dignified and con-
sequentiaIs in appearance, were
perched high up on the white
heImeted drivers seats, chatting
eagerly with the reinsmen. One,
Walter S. Bradfute, publisher and
editor of the Bloomington, Ind..
Daily Telephone, rolled along on
the hippopotamus cage; the other,
Claude s. MalcOt, former mayor of
Bloomington, preferred the jungle
aroma of the Bengal tiger den.
They were having the time of their
lives, for they are making their an
nual visit with the circus and with
Henry B. Gentry, their fellow
townsman, who is general manager
of Sells-F'lOto and president of it
and allied interests.
Mr.. Gentry, it is, who made
Bloomington famous; for it was
there he founded the Gentry shows
and builded them into a million
dollar concern. Each year Mr..
Bradfute and Mr. Malcott visit the
circus for two weeks. And they
have a serious purpose, aside from
gratifying the Peter Pan spirit
that burns within them. They
talk over Indiana politics with Mr..
Gentry. For, be it\ known, the
three of them run the congress-
ionaI district of which Blooming
ton and Monroe county are most
essential parts.
When you go to the Sells-F1oto
performance tonight at the base
ball park, you'll see the visitors
with Mr. Gentry at the front door.
If they have their heads together
they're cooking up a surprise for
the opposition backs home. Verify,
there are many angles about life
with the white tops.
