~
Evidently; the rumor factory Is
doing a normal business in Wash
ington at the present time, accord
ing to the number that are floating
this way from there. One says that
S. b. Montgomery will have some
thing of interest to give out in the
near future. The dope is that Mr..
NJ ont gomery will issue a statement
for the press disavowing any IN
tention OF seeking the nomination
on the Republican ticket for Unit
ed States senator, and probably CIV
ing his personal preference to II.
G. Ogden, the Wheeling publisher.
There%aret also rumors that there
will be a withdrawal from the Re
publican primary senatorial race IN
the immediate future, and OF with
drawals from the ngressional dis
tricts in which there are contests
for Republican nomination for Con-
gress. It's said those in touch With
the Washington situation that there
is a basis for the rumors, butSnone

cards in the coming dea1.= tt nag

A. A Lilly may drop out OF the
senatorial race although he has
repeatedly denied that he will with
draw, declaring that i am in the
fight to stay"
James Hughes former ~represen-
tative OF the fourth West Virginia
district in Congress, now chief exc
cutiye of the Edwards campaign,
has returned to Huntington after
some busy days in Washington in
the interest OF his candidate.
Hughes says the race is between
Edwards and Sutherland and that
the man who polls 10000 votes at
the primary will land the nomina-
ton This statement has stirred up
much discussion. None of the
Washington dopesters are willing
to agree that 10000 votes is enough
to win.
The Huntington Herald-Dis-
patch, Republican, published in
the home town of Charles F. Ed
wards, candidate for the Republic
can nomination for United States
seator. has this little puff for the
candidate in a recent issue:
Fired Edwards has visited a
number of counties in the various
parts OF the state, and has in
every case left an excellent i'm
preston behind him. The Ed
wards candidacy is rapidly assum-
ing formidable proportions, and
the other fellows are starting to
find it OUT
Thomas L. Thorne has announc-

New York, J une 24-Within three
years motorists from the West will
drive into New York through dts
newest subway, the Hudson River
yehi cular tunnel.
They made miss the, ferry ride
and view OF the skyscraDer sky

bestYentilated tunnel On the world
lin a steady stream of 1900 cars an

This tunnel viii, consist of twin
tubes 90 feet In diameter and 14s
miles long, built at a cost of $751;
4 600, 900.
Work on the project is now be
y ing carried on-from both sides of
the river.
For a time a local political SQUAD
8Sble kept the engineers from start
ling construction on the New Jersey
shore. But Clifford NJ Holland.
chief engineer and several asso-
eiates, went over one night, took
pick and shovel and broke the
grcund without waiting for the
formal opening scheduled for July
Poison Problem
& Before beginning work, the com
smissioners in charge had to solve
one of the century's most difficult
engineering problems.
How could they make sure the
tunnel, filled with gasses from the
exhausts of automobiles, would not
become a great death trap?
with aid of federal authorities,
they decided to conduct expert
ments in an old coal mine at
Rruceto ton, Pa.
There they constructed small
tunnel. Conditions were similar to
those under the Hudson.
s5ss Tests With Autos
Au tomobi1es We're sent into the
tunnel. Drivers and chauffeurs
were examined before and after
the tests.
Other experiments We're conduct
ed IN the physiological laboratory
atssYale and in the engineering ex-
perment station of the University
Hof Illin6is
1t was found no harn would re-
sssult from exposure to four parts

So the engineers decided to

YOUR FLAG

Time can erase our friendships.
1t can dispel cur Illusions. 1t can
make friends enemies and make
enemies of our friends. Time can
heal the sorest wounds and it can
be as salt to the slightest abras-
ion. Time is unlimited. No one
knows time; to some it means a
moment, to some it means an age.
Time is-the one factor with which
we gamble in our individual way
from cradle to the grave.
But, my friends, time with all
its mystic power can not avail, to
remove from the heart Of every
true American the love for that
Flag that has carried US to
glory on every battlefield. From
the day when Betsy Ross in ham
bic patriotism and exalted heart
scwcd together the Stars and
Stripes, TIE American Flag has
been the symbol by which We have
achieved our every victory.
To the man VINO passes on the
street, it means security prde
and honor.
To the child who 9'ays hi5 game
Of soldiers it stands for the home
for the home of his fathers.
To the soldier as he stands at
~ttentioa, in the eventide, as the
bugIe sends forth its haunting
notes in that beautiful retreat"
it means a rehabilitation Of all
Of his energies.
To each che Of you it means
home, freedom, the power to live
and worship unchecked by despot
power.
That is our Flag.
On Armistice day | ask you,
wherever you may be, stop and do
reverence and honor to it.
70 the people Of Americus I re-
quest that you display the Amcri-
can Flag from your homes and
your places Of business. We ask
no decorations Of highly colored
buntings and costly designs.
We ask simply that you raise
the American Flag to its high
place and keep it there until the
sinking sun tells you that the day
is done.
