THOMPSON NOT
CANDIDATE FOR
GOvERNORSHIP
Quincy Whig-JOurnal Prints Inter.
view in Which He Says "He
Can't Afford to Run"

Chief Justice Floyd f. Thompson
cannot afford to be a candidate for
governor of Illinois" because he
has only his salary to depend up
on" he told the Quincy-JOurnaI
when he announced that he will not
heed demands and requests of DEM
ocratic county committees through
out the state to be a gubernatOrial
candidate.
His statement, made in chambers
of the supreme court in Springfield.
Ill. appears today in the Quincy
Whig-Journal 1t is the first posi-
tive statement accredited TO he
Judge since county committees en-
dorsed him.
When told that friends from var
ious parts of the state were aDx-
iously awaiting his decision as to
the gubernatoTial nomination, he
Ss;id:
Il cannot afford TO run; / am
poor man with only my salary to
depend on. l am not rich and could
not accept the nomination on this
account.
EsteemS 1t Honor.
Don't understand me to mean
that l would not like to be gov
ernor of Illinois. l esteem it an
honor that no man might despise
to be governor of a great state ike
Illinois, as high an honor as
any reasonable man might expect"
Another reason given by Justice
Thompson was that he has served
only a year of his present term Of
justice and that it would be unfair
to the people who placed him there
to resign now.

Notes by Wire.
to The Argus

Paris. June 27.-Not content with
having sleeveless gowns, the Paris
ienne has decided to improve on
them. And not content with the
lace mitt of other days, she has
embellished that article of attire
until it's own mother would scarce
~ recognize 1t. 10 be chic, the
lace mitt of 1922 must be finished
at the elbow with coQuettish
fringe of ostrich tips, with hong,
ragged ostrich fringe, or with quilt
ed ribbons, metallic tulle, or a tiny
armlet of flowers.
Paris, June 27.-Many of the eve
ming bodices are being made wholly
of ribbons twisted into circles and
sewn absolutely fiat. These circles
look somewhat like dahlias, though
they are not intended to copy any
flowers too faithfully. Sometimes
they are prettily shaded in tints of
purple, blue, rose or yellow. The
same idea is used on bands across
transparent sleeves, on cuffs. and
on the edges of skirt panels. y
fiat, dahlia-like posy of ribbon is
placed instead of a buckle on some
of the satin evening slips.
London, June 81. - Laburnum,
long and trailing, lends itself grace
fully to the enormous picture hats
of georgette and crinoline 1t is at
the moment a favorite trimming
and instead of being punched at
the front of the hat, as has been
lately the custom, it is strewn round
about the wide brim. White and
yellow strands of laburnum trim a
great mushroom shape of white
georgette.. one long yellow cluster
being allowed to fall almost to the
right shoulder
New York, June 27.-Knife pleai-
ing is still in favor. Some of the
shops display gowns with skirts in
triple tier of pleated crepe de
chine Most of the summer wraps
of latest design have tiny side pan
els of knife pleating and fit only
across the shoulders. FoulaTd
gowns, which this season extern
siyely employ knife pleated panels
and sleeves of georgette, are chief
ly of two types. One type has a V
shaped neck opening on a white
organdie vest; the other has sur
plice bodice. crossing in soft folds
New York, June 27.-Guimpes in
tended for wear with the thin sum
mer gowns come with sleeves for
those people who do not like bare
elbows. The guimpes are of net,
dainty and aiFV in aDnParancp and
pretty adjunct to any afternoon
gown. A trifle of hand embroidery
or medallions or bands of Irish lace
are the usual trimmings The col
lars are snappy little frills which
always give a cool and neat ap-
pearance to summer gown. Some
times there is tuxedo collar and
straight neckline.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am

caused by the heat Can you tell
me what to do for this?
MRS. B. NJ. S.
When nervous headaches, that

of intensely warm weather, come a
sufferer should try for a combina-
ton treatment that is both relax

In this method cooling the blood is
not sufficient, although it is a help.
AS rule one reason for the pain
is blood pressure on the brain, and
therefore any remedy that will
draw the blood from there should
aid in a cure. II one can put the
feet into a hot bath, in which there
is a teaspoonful of dry English
mustard to a gallon of water, and
let the extremities remain there

usually beneficial, but such treat

hazel congresses are both simple
and efficacious. A tablespoonful
of tincture OF benzoin should be put
into a basin with half a pint of
water as hot as can be borne. In
to this a handkerchief or small
towel is dipped until wet and is
laid hot over the forehead and
eyes. AS the compress cools it
should be wet again and put back
for ten minutes at least, and more
if there is time.
The same mixture OF benzoin and
witch hazel is then put into half a
