Professor Coker was questioned concerning the scholastic standing of Professor Cunning who has been on the stand several days testHying as to the doctrine of an archy and who has said repeatedly and emphatically that Henry Ford has cothing in common with anarchists.
 Professor Dunning," said the wit ness, "is known in all the higher edu- tational institutions. Every institu- lion that teaches political science uses his text book, there is no other buch work in English"
 During a long cross examination by Tribune attorneys Professor Coker bold to these points as facts: That Henry Ford is 8 capitalist, believes in property, supports the state and is an ldvocate of government. Therefore, be said, MT. Ford could not by the widest flight of imagination be called n anarchist.

SHOPMEN PREDICT
 COMPLETE TE-UP
Strike Spreading Fast and Lead ers Declare Demands Must be Granted-Other Unions May Join.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-A complete tie ,n of the railroads of the country was very probable in the opinion of M. L.. Hawver, president of the Chicago dis trict council of the Federated Railway sbopmens Union, which called a strike of shop crafts Friday. He re- turned from Washington today and declared the strike is spreading rapid lv and has overwhelmed the interna- tional officers.
 Advices today from Cleveland that the executive board of the American Federation of Railway Workers, with a membership of 26,0O0, chiefly un- skilled labor in Cleveland and the east, had decided to srtike tomorrow, ac- cording to MT. Hawver.
 The maintenance of way mems union also is preparing to strike, it was said Whit more than 250,000 shopmen on srtike and the number in- creasing, both President Hawver and Secretary John D. Saunders declared railroad schedules and industry would be seriously crippled within day or two Already steel mills and other industries at Gary and other northern Indiana points and in Chicago have begun to feel the effects of the strike and when the strike is more complete factories and mills will virtually be forced to close down.
 "This movement is spreading like wildfre and we are not going to lay down until we get our demands" said President Hawver. "It has not reach ed the indorsement of our grand lodge presidents, although they now are getting ready for a strike August 24.
 "The seriousness of the situation seems to be better understood in the east than out here, although I did not realize the extent of the shopmen's strike until I had returned here and read the reports that had been re- ceived.
 Tn Washington the executive com mittee has been repudiated and the entire grievance committee of 78 mem bers, representing all railway work CTS, has been negotiating with the railroad administration. Director General Hines, while stating that he is favorable toward the workers, has said that the only way to meet our demands are two-a congressional ap- propriation or increased freight rates.
 More and more it appears to me that complete tie-up of the roads is to be the outcome"

FLAG MYSTERY
 IS EXPLAINED
Dean of St. Paurs Cathedral Made the Flag Attributed to Ford - More Evidence on Anarchy.

Mt. Clements, Mich, Aug. 1.-The mystery of the Ford Flag of Nations IS mystery no longer. All the sin ister significance which the Chicago Tribune's attorneys have sought to at tach to the banner vanished when Samuel s. Marquis, head of the vel, fare department of the Ford Motor Company an dformerly dean of St. PauPs Cathedral in the city of Detroit, took full responsibility for designing and creating the world emblem
 Tn the early part of November, 1915," said the witness, while I was still Dean at St. Pauls in Detroit, and four or five weeks before the peace ship sailed, MT. and Mrs. Ford attend. ed social event in the church house. MT. Ford had previously asked me to take charge of the educational work in his plant, so during the course of and talked over that and other mat ters.
 We discussed military training and Ford welfare work and it was with reference to the latter that happened to mention my idea of world flag. MT. Ford was very much interested in the work that was being done for his foreign born employees by the English school of the plant. He said to me, You have one gospel and 1 have an other. I believe in the gospel of work. Look at all the foreign men down in the factory wholly untouched by the hatreds of this war and yet they rep resent every nationality now at war. If members of different nations can live in harmony in the factory why can't they do so over in Europe. 9"
 There were at that time between fifty and sixty nationalities employed in the Ford plant and in this connec- tion MT. Ford said he had in mind the fact that this harmony, brought about through labor, could be shaped into some kind of shop flag, some flag that represented the union of nation alities in one common interest down there. A flag that would symbolize the work that was being done among the employees.
 Well, the idea rather struck me and took a pencil and pad of paper and made a rough draft right there, and showed it to Mr. Ford It repre- sented white globe on field of blue. There was an equatorial band of red around the globe and the other zone lines were of gold 1 had no colors but I indicated what the colors would be.
 q said to MT. Ford, I distinctly re- member it, that the red in other flags stood for the blood that had been shed for the establishment of the na- symbolize universal brotherhood. The common blood of all the races of men and I quoted He hath made of one blood al 1.-the nations of the earth"
 "Mr. Ford neither approved nor dis approved of the idea and we dropped the topic and talked about something else. That was the last I ever said about the subject to him, but thought rather we'll of the idea and I had an artist color a sketch as I directed. Afterwards I had it reproduced in bunting"
 Upon cross examination Tribune at torneys asked the witness what the gold bands stood for and he replied that they indicated prosperity. Professor Francis w. Coker, pro- lessor of political science at Ohio

EVERYONE AT WAR
 WITH OLD H. (. L.
Restoration of Normal Cost of Necessities Believed Cure for Unrest-Are Cunning For the PrOfiteers.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Steps toward reducing the high cost of living are expected this week.
 While all government departments are working toward the end of alley iating unrest by restoring normal level of prices, interest centers in the meeting Tuesday of the conference called by Attorney General Palmer to consider the best method of procedure especially with respect to profiteering. The committee appointed by the con- ference, Director General Hines, As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury Leffingweld and Chairman Colver, of the federal trade commission, have been engaged in an exchange of me- moranda which will be put before the conference.
 The presence of Julius Barnes, di- rector of the United States grain cor poration, at meeting Tuesday will give expert counsel to the cabinet members and other officials on the grain situation. Consideration of a plan to seel wheat in free market, the government absorbing the differ ence between the market price and the guaranteed price, is believed cer- tain.
 There are indications that the at torney general is paying especial at tention to cases of profteering. He has great volume of information collected by the federal trade com mission, showing production costs in scores of industries. While there is no law by which profteering may be punished directly, MT. Palmer has said there is a great deal of "good law" on the statute books and it is believed he will find way to punish any cases where there are evidences of extortion.
 The average citizen is the man in whose behalf the profteering investi- gation will be pushed, despite the fact that it was the new demaiNls of the railroad labor unions which precipi- tated it. Several officials have ex- pressed sympathy with the salaried man, who lacks the backing of pow erful organization.
 The cost of living situation, it was learned today, will be one of the chief topics to be discussed at Tuesdays cabinet meeting. The question of re- ducing living expenses was brought up at last weeks meeting but it is understood President Wilson and his advisers decided to postpone efforts to reach an agreement on definite ac tion pending the obtaining of definite information.

WRITES OF GOOD ROADS.

Editor Pr,;ss and Banner:
Every one is familiar with the pic
ture displayed by the promoters Of
the good roads movement. This pic
ture presents, side by side, but on two
different roads, two wagons, each
drawn by two mules, and seemingly
on their way to the nearest market.
The mules of one wagon are strug-
Cling hard to pull one bale of cot
ton through mud hub deep; the mules
of the other wagon are promenading
pulling twelve bales of cotton on
smooth surfaced road.
Which road do you prefer?
Of course there can be only one an,

its momentum will subside only when
the whole country will be crossed in
every direction by permanent high
ways.
Abbeville county will be no ex-
ception.
But a few roads will be built to
begin with; and until the completion
of the whole system (which compile
ton will take long time) only few
citizens of the country will receive
the benefit of the permanent roads,
and the majority Of people will have
to rely, as heretofore, on the present
roads to carry on their business.

How to Make a Creamy Beauty Lo-
ton For a Few Cents.
The juice of two fresh lmons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautiier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this To-
ton will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white from any drug store
and two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this sweet
ly fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, arms and hands.

ALLENTOWN, PA, CAN'T
PRAISE DRECO
ENOUGH
Relieved Him of Dizzy Spells, Spots
Before Eyes-Constipation
and Headaches.

Far years have had a sluggish
liver; spots danced before my eyes
I had dizzy spells and headaches; was
constipated and had pains in my back
just over my kidneys. I have taken
several bottles of Dreco, and in ad-
dition to being relieved of my trou-
, bles mentioned, I have gained in
weight and feel better than | have in
years. My nerves are steady; 1
sleep we'll, and never have that tired,
sluggish feeling. Dreco did the work
for me-"
People who are run down, tired
out, debilitated-no matter what the
cause-are advised to take aspoonful
of Dreco with each meal for few
days and watch the change. The ap-
petite increases; there is no dyspepsia
after meals. The bowels, kidneys
and stomach work IN harmony, ana
the rich, red blood goes coursing
through the veins. This is what hum
dreds of men and women say Dreco
has done for them.
Dreco is made from juices and ex-
tracts of many medicinal herbal
plants which act on the vital organs1
in a pleasant and prompt manner.
Dreco is highly recommended in
Abbeville by P. B. Speed, Druggist.
