The Democratic party's campaign war
chest is open to contributions of any
amount. George White. chairman of the
national committee. announced here to :
day. Party leaders, Mr.. White said.
"wiIl examine the source rather than
the amounts of all contributions. -,
"Peace. progress. prosperity, will
be the three word slogan Of the Dem
ocratic campaigners. Mr.. White added,
declaring that with this slogan the party
should be "Coxsure" of victory.
The new national chairman referred
to Illinois. Indiana and Ohio as 'thc
battle-ground of the campaign. but he
indicated that as the campaign plans
developed Governor Cox would carry
the fight direct to the people and would
visit majority of the states.
Mr.. White said the restrictions which
had been proposed as to the size OF
the campaign contributions were so cas-
ily circumvcntcd as to make them use
less, and that the national committee
therefore would content itself with a
scrutiny of all contributions in order
that no obligations on the candidate
would be entaied by the acceptance Of
campaign funds.
Democratic leaders Mr.. White said,
are seeking to have the Senate COM
mittec investigating campaign expenses
continue it's operations. He added that
It was particularly desired to bring to
light the contributions to Republican
state committees, but that thus far
way to accomplish this had not been
found

ROOSEVELT IN FIST FIGHT
Young Colonel Whips Two Delegates
to N. Y. Republican Convention

Saratoga Springs. y. V. July %
Theodore Roosevelt demonstrated his
ability as a fighter yesterday by whip
ping two delegates to the unofficial Re-
publican state convention during n dem
onstration in behalf of Secretary Of
State Hugo A Brooklyn delegate tried
to wrest the Kings county standard
from its bearer. They struggled and
almost fell on a woman delegate from
Nassau county.
Colonel Roosevelt jumped to his feet.
He swung his right fist and it landed
on the jaw of one of the combatants.
The recipient of the blow fell in limp
mass. Turning on the other the col
onel gave him a shove that sent him
on the press table. The delegates who
had started the row got to their feet
and made their escape. They refused to
give their names.
Il merely gently stopped them from
falling on n lady delegate" explained
Colonel Roosevelt.

A T NO season of the year. does
"a the Ideal Fireless Cookstove
seem more desirable as a
labor-saver than in summer, for
cooking, an irksome task at best, is
particularly tiresome then. Most Of
US rather enjoy connecting new
dishes and preparing them. 1t is
the tedious task Of standing beside
the stove while they boil or bake or
roast to which we object. And this
is just where the Ideal Fireless
Cookstove comes in. There is no
need for worrying as to whether the
food will burn or overlook. The
cooking process is automatic, and
once the. food is placed in the Ideal
no further attention is required.
And besides its convenience, it is
economical of food and fuel. The
Ideal Fireless Cookstove is sold
by j. Franklin Miller, 1912 Chest
nut Street.
I'VE discovered something this
week that every one who is con-
templating the purchase of a
davenport should be told about. 1t
is the Kier Downy Sofa, made by
Kier & Company, 1911 Chestnut
Street. 1t is sold at a special price
much more reasonable price than
one would suppose possible, consid-
ering the excellence Of the workman
ship that has gone into its making.
Its down cushions are luxuriously
restful-just the kind of cushions
that one dBeams of sinking into after
a strenuous afternoon on the links
or a busy day of shopping. When
one is planning a living room a
comfortable sofa is the first piece of
furniture that comes to mind, and
the kier Downy Sofa is the kind
that will give to your living room
the charm of gracious hospitality.
IVXTHEREAS, in years gone by,
Wv we considered summer after
" noon well spent if we did no
more than indulge in a bit of hotel-
veranda gossip, we are now alive to
the enjoyment TO be derived from
sports. If we would enjoy our ten
mis- or golf to the fullest extent it is
essential that we have the right kind
of equipment. One can always be
certain Of finding the very best of
athletic goods at the store of A. G.
Spalding & Bros, 1910 Chestnut
Street. The golf clubs that they
handle are the very best that are
made, and a recent inspection of
their tennis supplies has convinced
me that they have just about every
thing in that line that one could
desire. And, Of course, as regards
baseball outfits, their superiority
! is too well known to excite comment.

TALL modes are here, and there
are some mighty interesting
- things included in the display
of fall fashions at The Blum Store,
1910 Chestnut Street. The soft
Moon-Glo and crepe-back satins have
charm all their own and lend them
selves well to graceful folds and
drapings. Kittens Ear Crepe is des-
tined to be very popular during the
coming season and Charmeuse, too,
will be most fashionable. Having
discovered such practical and good
looking material as tricotine, we are
loath to part with it. and many of
these dresses are Of tricotine. Navy
blue is the favored color. Some
are smartly tailored. Others show
trimming-mostly beads, iridescent
and in polychrome effect. Girdles
are wider and sleeves are three
quarter and full length.
VXTHILE we cannot be too GER
w tain that clothes always make
the man, it is an undisputed
fact that good clothes go long way
toward establishing a favorable first
impression. Accessories play a most
important part Take travelling bags,
for instance. The day is past when
a shabby travelling bag got by with
out comment, The well-dressed man
or woman cannot afford to fare
forth on summer vacation with a
battered travelling bag. A really
good bag, such as those sold by
Bailey, Banks G. Biddle Company, is
worthwhile investment, for it will
last for years. You may purchase
the bag with or without fittings, but
the latter are really most convent
ent. A man would like the lizard
skin bag with silver fittings which
saw at Bailey's.

The following message was sent by
Senator Harding to Governor Coolidge

all take the more pride in winning
against such an antagonist. It is the

HARDING TO TOUR
DOUBTFUL STATES
Front-Porch Campaign Plan
Supplemented on Advice Of
Party Leaders
ITINERARY MAPPED OUT

Marion, o.. July 2o.--Scnator Hard
ings front porch campaign" is to be
supplemented by extensive speaking
tours in the states where the Repub-
Leans expect serious contests. The
nominees advisers have mapped out a
travelling schedule for his consideration
This includes tour as far west as
Denver. a Pacific coast trip is still
under consideration. AS has been pre-
viously reported, the senator will visit
New York, and the present plan con-
templates n speech in Boston. He will
go south to Memphis, according to this
program, and north to Chicago and
possibly Minneapolis. He will also go
TO some big agricultural center, prob &.
ably Kansas. for one speech.
The alteration in the original plan
to remain at home is partly the result
of urging BY such Republican leaders
as Will H. Hays. chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, and Sen =
ator Boips Pcnrose. of PENNSYLVANIA
who has been outspoken in his opposi
tion to tho front porch idea. Another
consideration is the high cost of railroad
! travel.
When William Mckinley conducted a
successful campaign for the presidency
on his front porch in Canton excursion
rates were available to most delegations,
no matter how far distant from Ohio.
This is no longer possible. The railroad
fare of delegations from points outside
of Ohio TO Marion is going to cost thou :
sands of dollars. And the matter OF
expense will prevent anything like the
number Of pilgrimages to the Harding

HARDING is URGED TO
LEAVE FRONT PORCH

Senator Pcnrosc has urged the ncccs-
sity of Senator Harding getting away
from the front porch" at Marion in
two recent interviews. On both occa-
sions, Senator Pcnrosc said that the
candidates would be obliged to travel
through the country, presenting their
views, and appealing to the intelligence
of the people. This would be neces
sary, he explained, because Of the
prospect for hard campaign.
His contention was that the front
porch" idea was out of date and did
not fit in with modern methods Of cam
paignng. Modern transportation. he
said, has brought the front porch to
all sections Of the country.

is RACE TO BE HAIRLESS?
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations
VIII Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems to indicate that this HAY be
possible, the men of the coming gen.
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But 1t is through no fault of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps I'M
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females of the species. and
while they may be only working out
the will Of Providence they are doing
1t deliberately by "bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, ii IS
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves trying to geo out Of their
MISREPRESENTATION country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken up
by the bohemian set in New York,
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women, not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair.

AMERICANS DIETARY
STANDARDS CHANGED
People Are Eating Great Dea
Less Meat.
Recent Survey Made by Oeparement
Of Agriculture Shows That More
Milk, Butter and Cheese
Are Being Consumed.

Whether it is because Of the In
creased cost Of meat or because peo-
pies tastes have changed, the fact
remains that Americans are eating 8
per cent less meat than they were
20 years ago. This Is disclosed In
recent dietary survey made by the
United States Department Of Agricui-
ture.
In this survey 1900 dietary records,
each covering period OF days,
were collected from LAPS families and
SIS institutions In 46 states. Sixteen
nationalities. and many occupations
and incomes were represented. as
were also both urban and rural locali-
ties.f
From a summary Of 800 Of these
family records It appears that last
year the average cost Of food per man
per day was 46 cents. with an average
return in food value Of S,225 calories.
98 grams protein, 118 grams fat. and
4Oo grams carbohydrate. These dg-
ures arS In fairly close accord with
the dietary standards ordinarily used
in discussing such problems Of gen.
eral nutrition.
A comparison Of the foodstuffs pur-
chased by the 500 families with the
amounts Of the same food purchased
by 400 families about 20 years ago
shows that the amount Of meat in the
American diet has decreased about
per cent, and the amount Of grain
products about IL per cent. People
are eating more milk. butter and
cheese than they were two decades
ago, for the amount Of dairy products
consumed has increased about 8 pei
cent. Four per cent more vegetables
and 8 per cent more fruit Is beinl
eaten now.
Some individual food habits un
doubtedly need to be corrected, but
| judging by these studies. 1t seems
| fair to conclude that the average die
seems to be adequate.
