She declared that every thing went black at that time. and she remembered no more until she rt gained her faculties some time later. She declared that she then be- came aware of the fact that her clothes were in disorder and that the negro was bending over her. She fought him away, and, gaming her freedom, fled.

65 Candidates For State Of. flee on Both Tickets in Buckeye State-Fate to
 Be Settled August 8

Columbus, O., July 15.-Particular attention in connection with the Ohio primaries August 8 centers on the republican nomination for gover- nor. The democratic contest for gov ernor and the republican nomination for United States senator also are developing sharp campaigns. Four ContestinE
 There are nine candidates for tho republican gubernatorial nomination, and four are contesting for the dem- ocratic nomination. although one may be ruled out on a technicality. Four are in the race for the republican senatorial nomination. For the dem ocratic senatorial nomination Senator Atlee Pomerene Is opposed by former Congressman John J. Lentz of Colum- tus.
 There are 65 candidates for nomi- lration for state offices on the repub- lican and democratic tickets, the larg- est field the voters of Ohio have ever been called upon to face.
 Interest in Thompson Chief interest in the republican governorship race appears to lie in the probable strength of CarmI A Thompson of Cleveland. who has been irdorsed by the organization in the larger cities and who Is reported to be the personal choice of Presiden, Harding, himself an Ohioan. Thomp- son formerly was secretary of state in Ohio and took a prominent part in the American delegation at the Wash ington armament conference. Among those pitted against him are Congressman Charles l.. Knight of Akron, who is running as a pro- gressive republican," and Secretary of State Harvey c. Smith of Zanes- vile. who has been characterized by the prohibition forces as a liberal candidate. Gov, Harry L. Davis of Cleveland decided not to seek re- election.
 Knight was a member of the pro- gressive party in 1912 and follower of Thetdore Roosevelt. His friends claim that Ohio progressives are so strong as their victorious neighbors in Indiana. Pennsylvania and Iowa, anr that Congressman Knightt will be swept into the nomination.
 Knight an Editor
 Knight has published the Beacon Journal at Akron for years and only recently purchased the Springfield Morning Sun.
 Smith. formerly probate judge at Zanesville. has served two terms as secretary of state. Although he has come out on a strict law enforcement platform, the Anti-Saloon league has charged that Smith Is wet" and that he will receive large vote from those opposed to prohibition.

This show (the first to be given in the south) was given by Loveman. P Joseph & Loeb. Matthews Electric Supply company and the Interstate Electric company.
 To those interested in radio, thero was much of interest Every pos meie type of receiving set was on exhibit from the small receiving set mounted in a capsule to the largest Westinghouse sets. All of those at tending surely got splendid ideas from the various sets entered in the contest foN the best homo made sets There were several sets of almost unbelievable smallness. One was mounted in & capsule. Another was complete in thimble and another set on A watch fob. Another of the pigmy receivers was made on a small cork. At another table we noticed quito an attractive and unique set. This was 8 crystal set mounted on a victrola record. One boy had entered a set. very neat In construction. using three separate detectors This is a mighty good idea This set also had clock mounted on the panel and the build or had also taken a small light, sim liar to the ones used on the dash panel of m automobile, which tlso addsU greatly to the completeness and the appearance of the set. There were sets of all descriptions, some ~sry complicated and others ex- tremely simple In operation. There were also many regenerative sets. Some of these had ampliflers and looked to be very efficient. Among the crystal sets were some mounted in cabinets with push button which controlled the test buzzer on the inside of the cabinet.
 Among the sets entered there were some unique and very cleverly con- structed loud speakers. One, In par ticuiar, which seemed to attract un- usual attention. was made with q nut bowl set just in front of the metal horn in order to defect the sound. This was very cleverly con structed. It was carefully made and showed unusually good workman ship.
 There were many other unique sets and parts entered of more or less merit. Going to another part or the exhibit we find the radiophone furnished for the show by the Ala bama Power company. This was operated by MT. Coleman Gillian of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb and pro grams were broadcasted, each day, the first ten minutes of the hour between 10 a. m. and ?. m. and a special program was given. each aft ernoon by local artists. This gave an opportunity. to those visiting the Vi show, to see how broadcasting was done which, for the past year. has filled the world with wonder.
 There were several sets, using loop aerials, over which these pro- grams were heard by those attend ing the show and gave them the chance to see, not only the broad casting but receiving as well. The Matthews Electric Supply company had very complete display or equipment manufactured by the Ra-

 It seems then impossible to escape the conclusion that they have de. hberately perpetrated an official fraud to deceive and mislead for their political benefit.
 They knew that they were safe in making 1t effective after the primary and that the hbsurdity of the order would not be exposed by the court until your vote was cast. The com panics affected doubtless are we'll satisfied with this action, because 1t Is better for the railroads that order made to bolster political causes be or dered which the railroads are assured are void.

 der on the tax payers large and un- necessary expense to litigate over an order which cannot probably be sus- tained. It means that Cooper and Gaillard are willing, for the purpose of deceiving the people and securing their votes. to burden them with this useless and expensive litigation. Is ii right that tax payers money should be charged with their campaign ex- penBes? Why don't Cooper and Gail lard make orders in cases In which they have power. such as the Alabama Power Company and Southern Bell Telephone Company?
 It Is understood between them that they will deceive the people and still serve their masters by making orders which are void and which cannot hurt the corporations and injure no one but the State Treasury? Since they have decided to enter fields over which thoy have no Jurisdiction, why rot make an order reducing taxes or better. they could make an order settling the present railroad strike.

 Extend Period
 ''Second--It is the intent that the temporary arrangement above in force during the shortest period that may be required for a determination of terms and conditions of labor for the period ending March l, 1923. I have emphasized this by suggesting that the wage scale shall be de- termined by August 10, 1922, with authority in the commission to ex- tend that period by such number of days as may be required. It's earliest determination Is very nec- essary in order that contracts and estimates involved in business trans action may become settled and 1t is understood that all questions of dis pute as to conditions of labor or any other points of friction between op- orators and employees who are par ties to this arrangement shall be de- termifYed by the commission and such settlement shall hold untl the first of March 1923.

 Legal Position of Woman
 Ohio forbids women to shine shoes, operate taxicabs, etc. Miss Paul avows this is all wrong an dto prove 1t is all wrong the national womans party has 10 women lawyers working in the library of the United States supreme court making the first com- prehensive report on the legal posi- ton of woman in the United States. This is no easy task. It is compara lively easy to define woman's legal status under the federal laws, but each state has It's own particular ideas as. to how women must be re- garded in tho eyes of the law.
 What Miss Paul seems to resent Is the idea that laws should be passed to prevent women from working a. certain trades because mere man be- lieves these trades to be sacred unto himself It Is admitted that most of these excluded trades may be re- garded as menial Miss Paul also objects to men patronizing women by passing laws against their working at nlBnt ana longer than elEnt hours and being provided with chairs to sit upon from time to time. She charges that all this soiicitude for women is merely subterfuge, a delusion and a sham. If long yuTs arc injurious to women they also are injurious to men. she says, and the quicker the sexes are placed upon an absolutely equal footing. the better for all hands.
 A real "old sleuth" in the depart ment of justice gave some of his friends bit of advice a day or .wo ago,
 Never hold the tranmitter Of a telephone to your chest with the idea that you can prevent the person at the other end of the line hearing what you are saying to third party in the room with you" he said. Many persons think that simply by pressing the phone to their chest they are shutting off all possibility of being heard over the line. That Is not the case Every word you say vibrates the chest and the words are carried over the wire almost as plain ly as if you had said them in the mouth piece. Turn the transmitter in an opposite direction and whisper If you will, or place your hand over 1t, but never hold 1t to the chest"
