LOW RATES FOR VETERANS
Pullman Cars to Be Parked At Hous.
ton for Them During The
Reunion.

Letters have been sent out to Con-
federate Veterans to the reunion to
be held in Houston, Tex, next month.
Arrangements have been made to
park Pullman sleeping cars during the
reunion and those desiring to retain
the use of these cars for sleeping pur-
poses are expected to take the mat
ter up at once with their local passen-
ger agents. A nominal charge for
parking will be made by the Termi-
nal Company and reasonable charge
will be made by the Pullman COM
pany. !
This plan is recommended by the
reunion committee because of the
crowded condition of hotels and
homes in Houston. Following the u.s.
ual custom the railroads have agreed
to make special rate of / cent q
mile each way to the reunion, which
will last from October 5 to 8. inclu-
sive. Tickets will be on sale October
5, 4, and 5, good for return trip un-
til October 81. They will not have to
be validated. No stopovers will be al
lowed.
The special rates apply to Confed-
crate veterans and members of their
families, Sons of Veterans and men,
hers of their families, members of the
Confederated Southern Memorial As
sociation and of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. All members
of the U. D. C. may secure certifcat, i,
es by making application to the near
est camp of veterans or sons or by
writing to the commander-in-c chief,
Sons of Confederate Veterans, Hous
ton.
Identification tickets will be issued
ry the department. division, brigade
CT camp officers of these organiza-
tions and will be honored when duly
countersigned by these officers. Eve
ry one is required to have an inden-
tifcation certificate signed by an Of
fcer of one Of the associations man,
ed in order to secure the reduced
rate. All Confederate veterans are
entitled to the rate, whether men,
bers of veterans organizations or
not. Sons and grandsons must be
members of the sons organizations to
get the special rate.

REPUBLICANS LIE,
SAYS ROOSEVELT
Scores C. O. P. Speakers For Mis-
representing League Pact.

Troy, N. Y, Sept. 21-At a lun-
cheon meeting of Democrats here to-
day Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat
ic Vice Presidential nominee, scored
the Republican candidates for failing
to 'stand on their own feet" He
charged that if elected they would be
"merely the fgureheads through
which the powers of the party,
would work in the actual government
of the country.
"The attitude of Republican speak
ers in many parts of the country IS
one of lies," he continued. "1n deal
ing with the league of nations issue
they make every attempt to mislead
the public.
s'In parts of the country where
there is a socalled German vote, Re
publican campaign speakers try to
get votes by warning that the league
is calculated to strengthen France
and condemn Germany to serve it. In
districts such as Northern New Eng
land they tell French-Americans, that
the league on the contrary, would for
tify Germany, make her a greater
mower than ever and ruin France.
'In the same way they trifie with
the people on the tariff question, tell
ing interests benefited by exactly op-
posed tariff policies that a Republl-
can administration offers them each
the best chance of prosperity and
increased profits"

DEMOCRATS NOW
HAVE SOMETHING
TO TALK ABOUT

New York Sept. 21.-Democratic
orators will 60 to bat in real earnest
on the league of nations issue at
once, taking as their text the quar-
rels settled by the league between
Poland and Lithuania and Sweden
and Finland.
This decision was reached here
tonight at conference between
Chairman George White and Sena-
tor Pat Harrison, chairman of the
speakers bureau at Democratic ma
tional committee headquarters.
In a brief discussion of the
league situation, in which he out
lined, in part, the arguments to be
used by the Democratic speakers,
chairman White said:
"The league of nations is vindica-
ted. It has stopped the war be-
tween Poland and Lithuania and
prevented a war-like condition be-
tween Sweden and Poland. It has re-
futed the falsehood that it would
be impotent to end hostilities by the
peaceful process of mediation and
arbitration.
POLAND and Lithuania actually
were at war over the boundary, and
as the assembly of the league is not
to hold it's first meeting until No.
vember IS, the dispute was brought
before the council of the league
with the result that representatives
Of both nations agreed to accept
the mediation of the legaue and to
express a desire to be at peace.
''It has been truly said that if
the league could end one war it's ex-
istence would be wholly justified. 1t
has ended its first war before it has
fully organized it's machinery"
Chairman White also argued that
either of the troubles taken up by
the league council might have re-
suited in embattling all Europe, as
did the quarrel between Austria
and Serbia.

STYLE IN BOSTON
NOW is TO CARRY
YOUR OWN LUNCH

Boston, Sept. 21,-To be in style
in Boston one must carry his lunch.
Mayor Andrew J. Peters, bluest of
the hubs blue bloods, is doing it. So
are several thousand other business
men and women who believe that the
lunch box is the only weapon left to
fight the profteering restaurant
keepers.
Day by day the army of lunch
room boycotters is growing. Every
day sees more volunteers ready to
take a pledge not to eat in a restau-
rant again until prices tumble to a
reasonable level.
The new army is Enthusiastically
Bostonese. In it's membership can
be found millionaire shoe and leather
men, wool merchants from the Sum-
mer street houses, lawyers, doctors
anu Ill 1dCL illell dllU WUultu Ill SFSly
walk of life in the city. To carry
lunch box in Boston today is not
sign of need. To the contrary it is
sign of distinction. The whole
personnel of some of Boston's big
banks and business houses are en-
rolled members of Boston's new tea
party.
In these 100 per cent Offices the
whole force, from manager to office
boy, bring their lunches, turn the
office into veritable LUNCH rooms and
at noon swap dainty morsels and
stories as they solemnly take the
pledge to continue the fight.
In city hall 80 or more girl clerks
and stenographers followed the
mayors example. Even in the state
house, on staid Beacon Hill the story
is the same: "No more restaurant
meals until the profteers call for
mercy"

on. The offer was refused, but he
proved later that he was able to
stand a charge far higher than that
used in the prison for the purpose OF
electrocution. At an exhibition before
medical scientists he stood between

slant stream of lightning to pass
through his body without suffering
any harmful results.
