 The. best investment Fseyer made in my life was when l bought Tan 1ac. I have not only recovered my health but l have also gained 25 pounds in weight and feel just brim ful of new life and energy" said John ]. Gray, 1880 Hollywood street 2 Philadelphia. Pa. a popular salesman at Georges Clothing store.
 When 1 began taking Tanlac had been in failing health for some time as a result of stomach trouble and indigestion. l missed many meals rather than to suffer the discomfort l knew was to follow if 1 ate any thing at all l suffered especially from the shortness of breath and pal pitatiop of the heart. Frequent dizzy spells and headaches added to my discomfort and 1 was so nervous got little rest either day or night.
 Since Tanlac toned up my stomach l am like a new man in every way and eat, sleep, work and feel better than in years"

In the American view. the Russian

peared the proposal for the sessions at

exactly that effect in Russia That

hughes, in declining the invitation to

barrier to the establishment Of any

During the day it was disclosed that
an original French suggestion from
Genoa, seeking to draw out an ex-
preston from the Washington govern
ment as to its attitude toward what

commission, had met with wholly

specific acceptance was sent
That exchange was hardly on the
cables before the formal invitation to

to be a wholly different matter since
1t was presumably proposed as a re-
suit of the Russian memorandum Of
May II. The message rejecting this
formal invitation was expedited in the
hope of avoiding any confusion.

ccutives Asked Saturday

WASHINGTON, May 17-President
Harding, it became known TO-DAY, has
invited about forty Of the countrv's
leadlng steel manufacturers to a dinner
at the White House tomorrow NIGHT.
hi!e official comment WAS withheld
as 70 the purpose of the gathering, the
TACT that the Presiden: had previously
gwen notice of his intention to have
sixteen or twenty presidents of the
larger railroad lines in conference AZ
the white House Saturday night gave
grounds for the general understanding
tnat transportation matters would be
taken UP with the steel manufacturers
at the earlier gathering.
1t IS understood that the matter Of
transportation rates and the possibil
ty of securing downward revision i'm
mcdlatcly, even if not ordered by the
interstate Commerce Commission. wit}
be discussed with the railroad execu-
t1ves. The steel interests. it is said in
some quarters. are vitality concerned in
rate reduction in view of scmi-Adnin
1stratlon proposal to have downward
rate revision accomplished by lowering
freights on heavy basic commodities
before attempting general percentage
reduction on all freight.
May Discuss Eight-Hour Dav
In addition to this, President Hard
ing is known to have taken particular
interest in proposals to obtain a more
general observance Of eight
operation in the steel industry. This
may also be discussed tomorrow night.
Senate resolution ordering an in
rcStigation Of recent mergers and
merger proposals affecting larger ln-
dependent steel companies also has
placed on executive depaf ftments some
new duties in relation to Ahe industry.
While the resolution is particularly
addressed TO the Department of Justice
and the Federal Trade Commission, the
latter body having already moved to
comply with the requirements under
the resolution, there was possibility
that President Harding might see fit
to go into the subject with the men
directly concerned.
Judge Ebert H. Gary. chairman of
the board Of directors Of the United
States Steel Corporation, it was said
to-day. called op Mr.. Harding some
time ago and it was thought tnat the
situation resulting in the invitations
to the dinner conference was discussed
then.

VIC ALDRIDCE
BOOSTS HOPES
OF CUB ENTRY
Chicago Has the National League
Guessing Result Of Pitch
er's Showing.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
New York, April 26.-Vic Aid
ridge of the Chicago Cubs is not
exactly a kid pitcher but if he
keeps on winning as he has thus
far, it looks as if he will have to
play the part of kid hero for this
season in baseball. For two years
in succession his talent has been
developed at Los Angeles, where
the Chicagos kept him in the prep
school for the big league.
Both seasons he was a winning
pitcher, a much better one in 1921
than he was in 1920. When he had
finished last year with Los Angeles,
Chicago notified him to pack his
carry-alf and get ready for trip TO
the Cub den.
He has won three games in sue
cession this spring. The clubs fac
ing him have made % hits in those
games, an average of about seven.
ST. Louis gave him a flashing but
he stuck to the plate and subdued
that hard batting outfit. If Aid
ridge proves to be a suitable run
ming mate for Alexander, the lat
ter can obtain plenty of rest be-
tween games and the Cubs will pos
sess a pitching force which is about
25 per cent better than figured upon.
1t is going to take a little time TO
demonstrate but for the moment
Chicago has the National league
guessing.

SPECIAL
TO EDDIE-PAL
BOUT PLANNED
Followers of Moline FiStic Marvel
May Form Delegation to Go
to Chicago.

Moline boxing fans are planning
to charter a. special car to convey
them to Chicago, May 5, to see
Eddie Anderson and Pal Moore bat
tie aboard the U. S. S Commodore.
Vern Link, Moline Elk, is the leader
in the undertaking.
Mr.. Links plans are to leave on
the Rocky Mountain Limited at
11:55 a. m. the day of the fight and
return early the next morning. The
party would arrive in Chicago at
AIS. The fans could leave the
Windy City on a fast train at l the
morning of May 6, arriving in Mo-
line at $50. This train also car
ries Rock Island sleeper, which is
set off in Rock Island. Passengers
may remain in Sunderland until 7.
1t is necessary to have at least
% passengers to secure the special
car. This special is not limited 10
Elks. Everyone is invited. Those
desiring to make the trip and root
for the tri-cities' f1stic idol aboard
the U. S. s. Commodore the night
of May should notify Mr.. Link at
the Elks' club Immediately.
Eddie went into active training
this morning. He is staying at the
Moline "Y" and will go through the
same process as he used for the en-
counter last week. Harold Plune
will arrive tomorrow and aid in
conditioning Eddie.

AMERICA Peer
OF British IN
REALM OF Golf
Leading Exp0ncnts of Game in This
Country Certain of Their
Contentious.

Chicago, April 26.-America is
the peer of Great Britain in golf, if
one is to believe the testimony of
certain leading golfers of both ma
tions, and is about to surpass the
mother country of golfdom if she
has not already done SO. That is
the opinion of Jock Hutchinson,
Chicago; Robert A. Gardner, Chi
cago: Francis Ouimet, Boston;
Chick Evans, Chicago, and other
great golfers.
Aside from these examples the
British amateur champion, Willie
Hunter, has declared after tour
of America, in which he was de-
feated at the national event last
year at St Louis by Bob Gardner,
that America is fast producing
golfers who cannot be overcome eX-
cept by the best Great Britain has
in the legion of golfers.
Also Donald Ross. who came to
the United States 20 years ago
from Scotland, asserts that America
has surpassed the European golfng
interests by building more and bet
ter links, and developing players.
More light may be shed on the
subject this summer by the large
invasion of the United States by
both professional and amateur golf-
ers from Great Britain, although
few American amateurs are plan
ming to invade England and there
may not be many there from this
country to contest the British open
title

DOWN 3 TIMES,
DONAHUE Gets
DRAW VERDICT
MoIiner Narrowly Escapes Knock
out at the Hands of Tom Car
ney of Peoria
Especial to The Argus.l

Kewanee, Ill, April 26.-Johnny
Donahue of Moline fought a 10
round draw against Tom Carney of
Peoria before the American Legion
here last night. Donahue took the
count of nine three times in the
seventh, but staged wonderful
comeback.
Don Allison of Kewanee was en-
titled to a draw with Young Brody
of Peoria in the eight-round semi
final Billie Lee drew with Samme
Wade, Pekin, in the six-round pre-
liminary.
Donahue has been matched to
meet Young Shug of Kewanee here
at the next Legion show, May IS.
Donahue easily outpointed Car
ney in the first six rounds. Then
came the almost fateful seventh.
Carney swung from the floor and
caught Johnny flush on the point.
Donahue went down in his own
corner, to all intents and purposes
completely out. At the count of
five he arose to a sitting posture,
but was still in Sunderland. Just
as the referee was ready to bring
his arm down for the stroke of 10,
Johnny arose. Carney rushed in,
and down went Johnny again. He
took all that the law allows. John
ny went down the third time for
the nine count before he was able
to rally his scattering senses and
hold off his opponent.
In the 10th Johnny staged such
a terrific comeback that the only
fair decision to him is a draw.
