 Washington, March 10-''The politi- cal cockpit of America! That is the way national political leaders of the Capital are sizing up the rough rectangle formed by the sister States of Ohio and Indiana. It was so in 1920, they say, and it will be so again in 1922 unless all signs fail. and all political farecasters fall down utterly.
 Off-year elections, with control of Congress at stake, are still eight months away. Yet in this battle scared cockpit the party tocsins are already being steadily beaten to at tract the wary voters, and things are lining up for still another battle of the century," Scarcely 400 miles in length and 200 miles wide, this irregu- lar square furnishes more political fireworks than any other section of the country three times its size. It is truly the political battle-ground of the nation.
 "As goes Maine so goes the na- tion" is a political axiom that does not always hold true. Sometimes it fails. But If Indiana and Ohio once get on the same side of the political fence, history proves tha tthe ballot counters might as well throw down their pencils and quit figuring. Oc- casiona1ly they differ, but not often Only four times in recent political history have Indiana and Ohio split politically and on these widely-sepa- rated occasions the differences have been very slight
 History Is Cited; In 1876 Indiana gave Ttlden slight majority, while Ohio scratched out a bare victory for her native son, Rutherford B. Hayes
 In 1884 Indiana gave a slight lead to Cleveland, while Ohio granted Blaine a narrow majority.
 In 1892 Cleveland won Indiana by 1000, while. Harrison took Ohio by the extremely uncomfortable margin of 1000.
 Again, in 1916. these two sister States sp1it-Hughes carrying Indiana and Wilson taking Ohio. But the margins always were narrow, and in the main. Ohio and Indiana can be said to bask in the same political shade.
 Always the campaigns are heated, and usually they are close: The com ing elections, toward which Congress sional lawmakers in Washington a1- ready are turning their eyes, promise to be no exception.
 Senatorship Fights Hot.
 In both States the fight over a single Senatorship promises to eclipse all else and hold the attention of the en- tire nation. In Ohio the political particularly high. A Presidency and a possible Presidential nomination two years hence are bound up in the Senatorship fight in Ohio next NovemS Der.
 Senator Atlee Pomerene, Democrat, of Canton, Is coming up for re-elec- tion. His Republican opponent has not been selected yet, but whether 1t be Governor Harry Davis, Carnnt Thompson, Congressman Simeon Fess, Representative Nick Longworth, son. in-law of T. R., or Attorney-General Harry M. Daueherty himself, the fight promises to be spectacular and hot.
 The Democrats are convinced that they can carry Ohio with Pomerene He is popular, he has a good record, and besides they are figuring on a lot of discontent with Republican policies to manifest itself in the form of Pomerene votes. !

Five Richest Men Cause
 Speculation On Identity

New York, March 1o-Wan Street has contracted it's brow and is specu- 1atively chewing at the end of a fray ed pencil A great guessing contest is on. Not concerning bears or bulls or foreign exchange or the political situation in Patagonia, Nothing so simple. Five citizens Of the United States are known to have paid an in- come tax on a net income of s5,00O,- 900 a year last year The revenue department has been appealed to for the identity of this quintet. but reve- nue department is not saving. It never does. And so Wall Street is guessing.
 Wall Street sleuths have made some progress and have positively determined that two of the privileged i've miIlion-dolar citizens are Michi- ganites. while the remaining three come from this city Going still fur ther with their deductions, the finan- cial S.Hawkshaks,' believe for a cer- tainty that the Fords-HeHTy and Edsel-are the Michigan members of the exclusive high-paying income tax clinnA.

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and
 Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid ex- posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gen. erated in the bowels and absorbed in to the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. Tn damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism
 At the first twinge of rheum atisr get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put a tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts ts inexpensive, harmless and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with nthia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.-Ady.

Ohio and Indiana Called <
 ''U. s. Political Cockpit
If Pomerene Wins

If they are right and Pomerene can win, then the bald-headed Ohioan will be brought forth in 1924 as the fore most Presidential candidate of the De1nocracy-the man who defeated the President of the United States in his own home State and led the voters of Ohio to repudiate an Ohio Presi- dent. Democratic ranks will be as- sured that he can do it again-in 1924.
 The Republicans boot these claims of the .Pomerene Democrats. It is impossible, they say, that Ohio will repudiate the Administration of one of her own sons to the extent of sending back Democratic Senator. Yet privately they admit that the ministeriaI-1ooking Cantonian has a big following in Ohio. and the result is going to be close either way
 Seldom if ever in political history was there a battle fought with such vfgor and tnvective as in Ohio in 1920 between Harding and Cox, na- tive sons. There are many predic- tions in Washington these days that the 1922 fight is going to be just as hard and just as bitter, on a smaller scale.
 Democrats Have Task. It is no small task the Democrats Have carved out for themselves. The last time Ohio went on record poIiti- cally it was 100000 Republican in favor of Warren G. Harding. To overturn a 100000 majority in the
 
 back in the Democratic column once more is no small feat. But the Demo- crats face it with confidence and un- afraid. The more glory if they do it, they say,
 Over in Indiana the battle promises to be scarcely less warm. It is com p1icated there, too, by a fight inside the Republican ranks. Former Sen Republican party in 1912 to follow the Progressive mirage, has come out as candidate for the nomination as a candidate for the nomination in opposition to Senator Harry s. New, who Is seeking renom1nation. Seldom has a sitting Senator been opposed for second term in his own party in Indiana, and the New faction has spirit the candidacy of Beveridge. The primary campaign between Rev. eridge and New will afford the po1i- tfca1 spectators of the nation a pretty preliminary to the main bout in No- vember.
 Harding Backs New.
 Senator New has the unqualified endorseme ent of the White House. Few President Harding than Harry New, none, perhaps, save Harry Daugherty, the Attorney-.General:
 Beveridge has large following, he lost little of his popularity by his Progressive meandering in 1912, as the returns for that year show, and now he is essaying a political come back at a time when the rural dis tricts are admittedly hotbeds of dis content over agricultural conditions. The Democrats of Indiana have not yet picked a Senatorial candidate. It will not be Tom Taggart. however, as he has definitely taken himself out of the race by announcing he is not a candidate. considerable faction of the Indiana Democracy are hopeful of persuading former Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall to get back into the political arena, and if they can do so it undoubtedly would add several splashes of color to the Indiana cam paign this year.

Deceit Is Termed Chief
 Cause Of Divorce Evil

San Francisco, Cal. March 10.- Deceit, fibbing, just plain lying-or whatever name one cares to give pre- varication-is the chief cause for the today.
 At least such Is the reason assigned for the severing of marital relations by Judge Thomas F. Graham, for court bench here and who, despite his more than Statewide reputation as the great reconciler," has granted thousands Of divorces.
 present-day divorce evil Judge Ora ham suggests honesty between hus- band and wife regarding every mat ter of mutual interest to them
 Back of the majority of divorce suits filed here-and 1t must be true of other cities-is deceit by either the husband or wife, said the jurfst. 'I have run across scores of var1a- truths and vicious decefts. Wives, as well as husbands, are guilty of deceit, but fin most cases where a marriage is of short duration it will be found that the young husband is the one chiefly to blame.
 Auto Not Paid For"
 Often he makes the mistake of his bride his, full confidante. He earns, say $150 a. month. During the courEtship he teI1s her his income is more than that The automobile he courts her in is not paid for. There are monthly payments that must be met, but the girl knows nothing of them.
 'sHe hints yaugeiy at a. bank ac- count. They are married, and the de- ceit continues. The young bride, per haps from a home where there has been little need of economy. unknlow- tngly spends more than her husband earns. Bills begin to arrive. Still the husband does not confess the real limit of his salary, but vainIy trbes to bluff 1t out, hoping. against hope for a 'change of luck or a Semf-expected raise in salary which never comes
 "Quarrels over money and unpaid bills begin to mar the home life of the yoflng couple. The outlook is dreary to the young wife, who fears every ring of the doorbel1 is that of

Police Start
 Clean-Up

With the arrest yesterday of twelvs juveniles the police believe that they have the perpetrators of many of the recent petty thefts in custody. All of the boys who are under 16 years or age are specifically charged with stealing three reels of films featuring Tom Mix from the Strand theatre on Main street. Two of the reels of films have been returned. a detective ac- companying one of the boys this morning to an open lot on the East Side where the films had been buried for safe keeping. The other film was located at the t'oTna of one of the other boys but had been mutilated practically beyond recognition.
 The police suspect the boys of many of the petty breaks which have oc- cured of late, particularly the recent break at the store of A. J: Hfldreth on FSairfielsi avenue. At that time O. quantity of sports goods was stolen along with five revolvers. It Is be- ifeved that the boys after viewing the Tom Mix pictures started out to be despera6boes in real life but their plans were nipped in the bud before they had chance to do any real harm

FAIRFIELD

The third case of small pox has been discovered here The victim IS Philip Lindly, age 34, of Stratheld- He is the brother of Albert Lindly, the second victim of the disease. His case is said to be well developed and he has been removed to the Engle- wood Isolation hospital in Bridgeport.
 When Iind1y'S brother was strtck- en with the disease he was out of town Just a few days ago he re- turned and went to his brothers home and in few days developed the small pox He is said to never have been vaccinated The rest of the family residing in the Lindly home were vac cinated Immediately after the dfscov- cry of the dreaded disease. Vacctna- tionists in Fairfield say that if Lind1y had been vaccinated he would not have contracted the disease.
 Mrs. Ruby Lesh who was the first one to be stricken with the disease Is still in the Isolation hospital with the other two victims and is reported in good condition
 AS most of the cases are near the dividing line bewteen Bridgeport and Fairfield the supposition is that the victims at some time or other came in contact with carriers of the disease in Bridgeport. pr. Laurence Poole, health officer, fears no spread or the disease.

 George Baker Wealthy
 George F. Baker. the banker. with his large railroad interests and hold ings in numerous industrial corpora tions, is another who may be one or the three. "G. F.'' is not so we'll known to the public at large, but he can write checks quite as large as the next man. Charles M. Schwab, with his steel holdings; J. P. Morgan the international banker; William Rockefeller (the silent). Thomas F. Ryan, of copper fame-may De one of the favored three.
 Those of the Wall Street element who believe in a hunch declare It will be a family affair-two Fords from Michigan and three Rockefellers from New York

biH-co1lector. The husband begins to worry and is short-tenpered and cross. Things go wrong at the office, and he takes it out in short spitefll words at home.

 But back of it all is. rhe deceit practfsed by the husband during the courtship and maintained through the short married life.
 There are cases also where the wife is guilty of deception. She buys clothes beyond her husbands means, charges them and deceives her hus- band about their cost. When she makes the purchases she expects to pay for them, but how she is going to get the money is another question. She trusts to luck, and usually the husband gets the bills, and there is a scene, tears and bitter words-then divorce.
 'Intemperance Of course, is 8. ma 3or factor in divorce cases, but fnves- tigahon shows that intemperancie is the result, not the cause, of married
 And here the Judge, who has sent many couples reunited from his court room, pointed out the remedy that might curb this evil.
 '.Couples Who Kfss''
 Husband and wife who trust each other, who harbor no secrets from each other, who kiss at parting and kiss at the evening reunion never get into the divorce courts.
 '~The woman who loses at bridge and tries to hide her losses from her husband is making the gravest mis- take.
 '@The husband who keeps his bus mess affairs to himself and deceives his wife when things go wrong is courting marital disaster.
 "Au women like to be trusted, and few of them betray genuine, full hearted confidence.
 S.'DeceE is the microbe of divorce It is the start of all troubles that lead to the divorce courts.
 My advice to young couples just starting out on the uncertain voyage of matdmony Is to be square with each iother at all times Then the ship will weather the storm" he said.
