Commenting these figures given out by the

says:

If there are no real issues the orators 1nanufac-

that they turn many votes for candidate

Campaign managers appear to be under the
impression that the voters demand certain
amount of spellbinding-that they will not be-
interested in the campaign without it. This
may be a mistake. It would be worth something

for women in it's relation to wages,

Birds Have Right Of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero

birds flew first.
But this Is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Ayiators flying by town would see
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
