DAYTON. Ohio. July 31.--Elated
with the success of the home coming
demonstration in his honor yesterday.
Governor Cox today entered upon the
final lap OF work on his speech Of ac-
ceptance. and was positive that the
finishing touches would be given be
fore o'clock tonight.
The governor expected to give the

to the press association before Z
o'clock tonight for mailing to news
papers throughout the country.
One portion Of the governors speech
of acceptance. however. Is being with.
held. 1T is the surprise" which is
awaited with expectant interest by
thousands throughout the United
States. For weeks it has been ru-
mored that the governor. with a true
sense Of publicity values. would keep
a card in the hole" until the last mo-
ment, and would play this card at a
time when It would do the utmost
good for his cause.
KEYNOTE KEPT BACK.
This rumor was given additional
confirmation today when the Governor

part OF his speech, to be delivered on
official notification day. August Z,
would not be released to the newspa-
pers until the morning of delivery.
Just what this will deal with has not
been intimated. even remotely. but It
is expected to form the real keynote
Of the Governors campaign utterance.
That IL will not deal with the pro-
hibition question Is taken for granted,
in view OF the Governors specific
statement that nothing in bis forth
coming address could be interpreted
as intended as a reply to the tele-
gram from Richmond Pearson Hob
son." inquiring as to Governor Cox's
stand on enforcement OF the Volstead
act.
DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
The trend Of the interview granted
recently by Senator David ]. Walsh
of Massachusetts, who conferred with
the governor on Thursday. coupled
with the statement credited to Ma
tional Chairman George White that
the governors Endorsement of the
League OF Nations Is elastic" and his
intimation that "the people Of Ohio
the league just now" was taken to
mean that the governor plans to lay
especial emphasis on some domestic
problem, rather than the questions OF
international relations.

SAN FRANCISCO.-Hunt for
woman's. body, reported as having
been seen floating in San Francisco
bay, ended a few days ago when
ships figurehead, in the shape Of
woman of classical mold, eight feet
in length, was washed up. by the
waves on the beach near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Kate MacLenan in
Alameda, across the bay from this
city.
At the sight. of what she thought
was the body of a giantess, Mrs.
MacLenan screamed for help. Neigh
bors came to her assistance with
rope which was thrown over the
head of the floating exhibition of
the carver's art and the ''carcase"
was hauled ashore.
Mrs. Neptune as the relic is
now called, once decorated the PROV

The body was first seen by pris-

to be the remains of girl who had
left home threatening suicide, which
was given wide publicity, the police
began a search of the bay waters,

for rheumatism has been given prac-

The cure is divorce.
A divorce decree was recently
granted Charles M. Burgess, a real

troubles, Burgess said:
During all my married life I suf-

l could not tie my shoe laces and my
wife refused to tie them for me. I'M
mediately after l separated from her
my rheumatism began to improve
and now l am almost completely

THE KIND OF
POLITICIANS

Gardner Cowles, publisher of the
Des Moines Register, recently said:
Let the man who want to hold
office seek it. But not for me! A
man can spend his time and his
money in an honest effort to serve,
and then have his motives misunder-
stood and his character assailed in
the most uncalled for manner.
Politics is an attractive goal for
some people, but not for me-
He there voiced the sentiment.
OF the average business man, to
whom the political game is not worth
the candle. In business a man can
get results and everybody will admit
that the results are worth some
thing. Not so in public service.
More than once in American history
the most far reaching good results
have been belittled at the time of
their accomplishment and the mon
responsible for them disgracefully
maligned.
But this attitude of the average
business man is oily that of prac-
teal materialist. 1t is the reason
why we are not better served IN
public works. 1t is not altogether
a satisfactory reason. We shall be
well off in the matter of public SER
vice only when the time comes that
men will love their country earnestly
enough to desire to serve without
glory, and without being understood.
II that time ever comes they will per-
form whatever public duties they are
fitted for and called upon to do with
the same teamwork spirit we saw
during the war. That is the spirit
in which Washington, Franklin and
Lincoln served.
When public service shall appeal
to man as desirable for itself alone.
for the satisfaction within himself
at having bettered the national life
OF America, then we shall have big
men in big jobs, and we can go along
in our well known and accustomed
rut of casting aspersions upon them,
and at the same time be getting re-
suits good for us all and good for the
nation. Such men are above COM
planning at bein gwronged by public
opinion. Their main idea is to do
something worth while for the ma
ton. Such are men of heroic
mould.-F. C. X.

No record salmon catch Is expected
this year, according to reports from
Alaska. Most of the southeastern
Alaska canneries expect to reduce
their pack this year from one-third
to one-half normal and several will
not operate at all. One cause for the
cut is the fact that all of last years

are given as another reason.
Short Catch Last Year.
Alaska's salmon output last year was
4,592,201 cases, the smallest since
1915. The high-water mark of Alaska's
salmon years came in 1918, when, in
response to war call for food. the
canneries sent 6,667,569 cases out.
Most of the salmon are packed in

tory that juts south between northern
British Columbia and the Pacific
ocean. Last year southeastern Alaska
fisheries turned out 3,10S,364 cases.

and 70S,280 from far western Alaska

tend from Cape st. Elias westward to
the Alaska peninsula. The far west

bay and the Boring sea.
About 125 salmon canneries were

MANY EMPLOYED SINCE WAR
They Now Make Watches, Electric

Women in the Industries.

Il - 3
Chicago.-""The forewoman has come
to stay" says Mrs. Anna Lalor Bur.
dick, special agent for trade and in.
dustrial education for girls and WON.
en-, federal board. for vocational educa-
ton. "The, typical matchmaker. of the
United States is a nineteen-year-old
girl. The number of married women
in industry has increased 100 per cent
since the war. Certain Industries are
limited in their expansion only by the
number Of woman employees to be OBJ
tained."
In the course Of her work Mrs. Bur-
dick meets all sorts and conditions Of
women. Following are some Of her
interesting observations Of women in
industry:
Hands Suited for Certain Work.
"WOmen's small and agile hands are
especially adapted to the work Of Ger
tain industries. Women are needed in
garment and hat work, the hosiery in
dustry and soapmaking. The expan-
sion Of the hosiery knitting and gar
ment making industries is limited only
by the number Of women obtainable.
"Women make and assemble the del
icate parts of adding machines, office
appliances, Mazda lamps, electric light
equipment and appliances. In 1914 FIVE
eighths of the employees of the Wal
than watch factory were women. It
is surprising to know that the typical
matchmaker Of the United States is a
nineteen year old girl.
Before the war there was only the
foreman In all industries where wOm-
en- were employed. Since the war
there are both the Institutional fore
woman and the production forewOm-
an in all woman-employing industries.
In the Belts Artificial Limb company,
Hammond, Ind, women are admitted
to the classes in foreman training
along with the men.
Women In Many Lines.
"In the Belts company women also
do the set-up work. Certain machines
have to be set, up to run job lot
through. Formerly 'set-up' man set
up the machine and woman operated
it. The machine got out of order and
she raised two fingers as sign for
the set-up man to come. Today wom-
en- do this set-up work.
"In Milwaukee, Wis, a street car adj
vertisement from some factory which
needed woman workers exhibited
picture of bride, groom and preach
er. Underneath were the words,
Many marriages are made in our
plant. Come down and pick out your
job Then there was a long list of
the social advantages accruing to the
girl who would work in that factory.
Needless to say, the factory did not
expect the girl to quit work after her
married women in industry have in
creased 100 per cent since the war.
"At Grand Rapids, Mich, the furni-
.ure factories advertise for housewives
Who will work at least two hours a
lay, suiting their own convenience as
o when they will come"
