"The Rainbow Division. by reason
OF its membership. is peculiarly rep
resentive of the whole nation. 1t Is
eminently fitting that it's headquar-
tiers should Re In Warrington, that it's
activities should radiate from this
center. and that its members should
turn their eyes in this direction for
that continuing Inspiration In peace
which we need to have supplant the
activities of war. Action in the field
is done. Action in those great efforts
which have characterized America
goes on increasingly. In fact. 1t is
the discipline Of peace that makes
possible the success Of war.
COMMENDS SERVICE.
TT is a time when we may well
turn our thoughts from destruction
to construction. from the overcoming
of our enemies to the building up of
ourselves. from every hostile thought
to a contemplation OF charity. benev-
olence and peace. These things come
from action as we'll as thought.
Your organization. in its attempt
to administer to the well-being of it's
former members. to their support, to
their assurance of continuing re-
membrance on the part of their coun-
uymen, Is performing q most patri-
otto strvice. May that success which
marked your efforts In war, empha-
sized and increased, mark your ef-
forts In peace. CALVIN COOLIDGE"

MOTORISTS INTERESTED
IN AUTO TEST CASE

All owners of automobiles or other
motor vehicles in Richmond will await
with interest the outcome of a case
which is being tried in the superior
court of Marion county. in which Will
liam P. Frye of that city is question
ing the constitutionality of the motor
vehicles registration laws of the state
and requesting that an injunction be
issued by the court to prevent their
enforcement
The suit, which is a direct result Of
the arrest of more than 100 operators
of motor trucks in the last week by
police of Indiana polls on charges Of
violation of the state motor vehicle
registration laws, asks for an injunc-
ton against officers of the law both
in Marion and in the contiguous coun-
ties. The petition asserts that the reg
istration laws are unconstitutional be-
cause they violate the Fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitution,
for, it says, they deny equal protec-
ton of the law
The acts, the petition says, also dis.
criminate against truck operators in
favor of drivers of many other We
hicles which are not required under
the law to be licensed, registered OF
taxed or to pay a fee for the use OF
the highways.

IRISH REFUGEES BEG
FOR HELP IN LONDON
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug. Numbers of
southern Irish loyalist refugees, in
dire straits, are daily arriving in Lon
don. In many cases. they are women
and children who have lost their
breadwinners and frequently their
sole possessions are the clothes they
wear. their homes and other posses
sion having been destroyed.
Under the Malicious Injury Act, all
these people are entitled to compen-
sation. leviable on the local rates,
but although DEGREES have been grant
ed for sums aggregating millions of
pounds, very few have been paid. 1t
is said that in consequence of terror
ism, lawyers in southern Ireland are
frequently unable to prosecute claims
against the local authorities, as they
have been threatened with death
should they do so.
The London committee of the Irish
Unionist Alliance is now taking up
such claims, and is preparing an ap-
peal to the British government asking
that compensation, both in respect of
life and property, shall be made a
first charge upon any moneys that
may be handed over by the British
Exchequer to the southern Irish par
lament.

OHIO STOREKEEPER
FINANCING CAMPAIGN
TO RECOVER MILLIONS
(By Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 4. Nate
Zuckerman, 80 years of age, keeps the
cans and bottles on the shelves of his
delicatessen store here, impeccably
in order. No storekeeper is more at
tentive than Zuckerman; his custom
ers acclaim him a model of efficiency,
and his delicatessen store a delight.
But the children that come in with
quarter clutched in one hand, and
a note in the other, the dowdy house
wives, and the trim women, the old
men and the young men who come in
and ask for Kosher meats, and delica-
cies don't realize that the storekeeper,
anxious to please them, is helping to
finance, and actively directing cam
paign he hopes will bring one-sixth
Of a $37,000,000 estate to Hursh Cur
vitz, his father-in-law.
Tells Story of Life
The story is strange one, but
Zuckerman told it in a matter-of-fact
voice, in the prosaic atmosphere of
his delicatessen shop. He excused
himself once to sharply rebuke
clerk, whom he thought had not been
attentive enough to a customer.
More than so years ago, Fucker
mans story goes, in the town of Bori-
SOW, Minsk, Russia, young Jewish
lad, named NJ. Gurvitz, was impressed
for service in the Russian army. He
was made to forswear the Jewish
religion.
Thirty years later, NJ Gurvitz ap-
peared in the town of his birth, and
sought out members of his family. He
was a general in the Russian army.
| His friends and relatives gave him
all the information he asked for, but
they never recognized in the dignitied
general the scraggly lad who was i'm
pressed in the army years before.
! Dies If, South America.
| Twenty-Five years ago, the relatives
of NJ. Gurvitz, all in America, were
notified of the death of a man by that
name in South America. The notices
declared heirs were sought for an es-
tate of $37,000,000 in South American
money.
Hursh Gurvitz was in Russia at that
time, living in a small town about six
hours ride from Odessa. A brother
Joseph, was residing in New York

PICMAN PICTURES
STANFORD AS KIND
and LOVING FATHER

Picturesque phrases featured the ar
gument OF Attorney George Pigman'
attorney for Roscoe Stanford in the
divorce proceedings brought against
him by his wife, Maude d. Stanford.
which was concluded in Wayne circuit
court Wednesday afternoon
The entire welded life OF the STAN
fords was reviewed by the attorney
and the portions which were directly
connected with their martial troubles
as testified to in court were empha-
sized in a telling manner
Roscoe Stanford was declared to be
"a kind, whole-hearted gentle boy"
So good a father had he been, accord
ing to Mr.. Pigman, that like Mag
dalene did to Jesus, they should have
gone on their knees to him and washed
bis feet with their tears and dried
them with their hair
Denounces Plaintiff.
The will of the late Leland Stanford
was referred to during the argument
by the attorney. A scathing denuncia-
ton of Mrs. Maude Stanford was read
from the will. The will spoke of the
Givorce proceedings, and stated that
Maude Stanford had wronged Leland
Stanford and his wife and their son
Roscoe. He disinherited them and dis
tributed his property in such manner
that neither Mrs. Stanford or her two
older daughters could profit by his
large fortune
An impassioned appeal for the boy
whom he alleged had been wronged by
his wife, and deserted by his family,
was made by Mr. Pigman.
A plea for the defendant was made
On the cross-complaint. His acts Of
1913 were excused by the attorney on
the grounds that he was sick and
wounded man at that time.
Pleads for Plaintiff.
Denver Harlan, attorney for Mrs.
Stanford, concluded the argument
with an half hour address. He pleaded
for the woman who had kept her
trouble in her own breast in a vain
endeavor to keep a family together
for the good of her children" He
stated that his client had suffered
much and was deserving of every con-
sideration the court might show.
The argument by attorneys complet-
ed the longest divorce case tried before
the local courts. A contest has feat
ured the case throughout. Both the
principals are members of prominent
families of Boston and Liberty and are
we'll known in Richmond
Judge Bond took the case under con-
sideration. The adjournment of court
next Saturday probably will delay a
decree for several weeks
