Robert NJ. SweitZer, the best County
Clerk that Cook County ever had and
a public official whose popularity and
reputation grows every day with the
public, is quoted as saying to re-
porter:
Say for me that | am not a candi-
date for Mayor" said Mr.. Sweitzer.
1T is a great thing to be Mayor of the
city of Chicago and l do not for one
minute want any one to think that l
would not like the honor. However, |
know as well as any one what strain
one must go through in making the
race, and want no more. | hope that |
will be named on the coalition ticket
to succeed myself as County Clerk,
and that is all that can expect of the
people at this time. | have not the
slightest intention of making another
mayoralty campaign
IGx<EynA
Aid Maurice F. Kavanagh, speaking
of Los Angeles, says:
From our investigation into mar
kets here, we are inclined to the be-
lief that neither the producer nor the
retailer are responsible for eXtrava-
CANT food costs in Chicago. The trou-
BILE appears to be in the fact that as
sociation pools and brokers get their
profits before the foodstuffs reach the
hands of the retailer. There are many
good features to the community mar
kets here and | shall endeavor to
have a similar system established in
Chicago"
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1921-10-22

Fred w. Upham, said to be the most
influential Chicago Republican with
the government at Washington, denies
rumors that he would accept a nom
nation for Mayor. No man is more
popular in Chicago than he is.

then the return of the slayer from

he found her to be the mother of a
second child. She had sacrificed her
one chance of happiness by renting a

obeyed the will Of the righteous and
it was through him that the Jews
were saved from exile. Dealing de-

VIENNA HOSPITALS
ARE OVERCROWDED

VIENNA (By Mail to United Press).-
Although The Vienna hospitals are
crowded with three times the number
OF patients they had before the war,
fewer operations are performed There
are several reasons for this curious sit
uation, according to a medical report
of the American Red Cross which says
THE causes are first, lack of ether
and chlOrOform; second, lack Of sur
gical material, such as bandagcs, dress
ings' and antisepiic drugs. and, third,
the general poor condition OF the pa
tient.
"rhe quality Of the imported ether
and chloroform is so bad that the per-
centage OF deaths due to anacsthetics
has been distinctly marked during the
last year. The consequence is that
the number Of operations had TO be
reduced for fear OF post-ether pneu-
mopia. N-ray plates are so scarce that
many institutions do not do any work
/ whatsoever"

AGAIN URGE NEW
BRANDYWINVE BRIDGE

Efforts viii be made to reach an
agreement on the proposed new bridge
over the BrandyyVine, at a conference
tomorrow between members of the
Levy Court and special committee
OF the Chamber OF commerce.
There are three propositions under
consideration. one is the erection Of
a new bridge to replace that now at
Eleventh street; another is the inn
proving Of the Market street bridge
over the creek, and the third is the
construction of an entirely new bridge
between the present Market and Eley-
enth street spans. As at present plan
ned. the bridge to replace that at
Eleventh street would cross the
stream from Eleventh and Church
streets TO Fourteenth and Thatcher
This would place II at right angles
TO the creek and lessen the obstruc-
tion Of water by piers in time OF
freshcts.
The Levy Court holds that It has
sufficient funds with which to pro-
mote all three projects. and tomor-
rows conference has been called in
an endeavOr TO determine the besl
method OF procedure.
