 Deauville

Deauville, Aug .25.-The stocking less craze which has become familiar on the beach of Deauville has now penetrated the Casino. Groups of newly y-arrived Americans can be seen in the baccarat room of the Deauville Casino every evening debating wheth- CT the young lady playing at a near by table promenading from a group of spectators at one table to an- other is really wearing marvelously matched flesh-co1ored silk hose or whether her limbs are garbed in na- lures tan.
 The fact that in the majority of cases lack of stockings Is not even noticed is ample evidence that the pioneers of this new style of evening dress are generally using the great est care that their entire costumes are in harmony with the genuine flesh tint.
 The vogue of the flesh-colored silk hosiery has made. 1t an easy step to the entire omission of any stockings at all. Contrasts are being avoided, and the bare limbs are Invariably in harmony with silver or Hght-colored silk slippers, as well as soft cream or tan evening gown.
 Why notf" demanded an Ameri- can girl stopping at the Hotel Nor mandy, when her scandalized mother objected to the adoption of the mode introduced by some Of the Paristennes at the Casino. This Is summer re- sort, isn't 1t? And silk hose cost on an average Of three times as much in France as they do at home!"

Strength Of Ku Klux Klan To Be
 Tested In Texas Run-Off Primary

In nearly every county klan candi- dates either led their fields or ran close seconds and were either elect ed in the first primary or are in the ''run-of'' of tomorrow.
 As evidencing the strength of the klan in Jefferson county, 1t Is noted that Sheriff T. H. Garner, who was court verdict because of his member ship in the Ku Klux Klan, which he frankly admitted, and who was not his own behalf in the custer suit, was renominated over two opponents in the July 27 primary.
 In many cities anti-klan leagues have been formed notably in Dallas The league in Dallas is headed by M M. Crane, who, as attorney-general, prosecuted Governor E erguson on im- peachment charges in connection funds in 1917. Ferguson was i'm peached, but has always contended he "got a dirty deal" Crane and his following find themselves in the rather unique position of being anti
 klan, and so far Crane himself is
 concerned, also anti-FNerguson.
 The same question applies to the various other ronti''al isroups-the "Joe" Bailey following, which has dwindled in the last few, years, the Cullen F. Thomas group, the Clarence

 Considerable interest attaches to the primary in the Seventeenth Con- gressional District. where Congress.
 man Thomas l.. Blanton Is seeking re- | nomination. In the July primary it
 was at first reported that Blanton had been renominated over his three oppo-
 nents, but the official count showed he l lacked 384 votes of being successful.
 It will be recalled that Congressman | Blanton came very close to being ex- 1 pelled from the House of Representa

Discuss Lessons From
 Endurance Test

Chicago, H.. Aug. 25.-(By the As sociated Press) - Straight gaited horses only can be used for saddle purposes where stamina and endur- ance are brought into play. in the opinion of Wayne Dinsmore secretary of the Horse Association of America, expressed after studying the results of the five-day endurance contest over 3O0mile, course recently run off at Colorado Springs. Colo.
 The behavior of all horses was closely studied from start to finish in every case" he said. And horses heeled or ''pigeon-toed" with defects In action, such as padding winging or interfering, had such defects ac- centuated as time went on and cut the1r pasterns or bruised their fet- lock joints before the test was end err
 Norfolk Star. a thoroughbred army charger owned and ridden by Capt. Ing, won the contest. Rabbit, a COW pony, won second place. Fox. anoth- CT COW pony. placed third, and fourth honors went to Jerry an army charg-
 No contest heretofore held pre- sented so wide a diversity of types MT D1ns1nore declared. '"The first horse to go out was a chunky type many cowboys because of easy keep ing qualities. He went out at noon of the second day ct the end Of ninety miles on account of exhaustion Another rather upstanding type went out for lameness the seond af- ternoon. A third one of the best from the standpoint of conformatin, went to the bad at a. m the third day at the end of 1855 miles, and a fourth so lame at the beginning of the fourth day, after covering 1sO miles that he was not started.

Plan Disposal Of
 Silk Co. Profits

Tokio. Aug. 25-Considerable dis cussion is going on among those in- terested as to the way in which the profit of the Imperial Raw Silk Co.,, is to be dispo posed of It is estimated that when all the remaining stock has been sold and all the expenditures paid a net profit of something like 4,0oo,0oo yen will be left awaiting disposal Various suggestions are being put forward regarding it's dis posal but the one that meets most support appears to invest the money for the establishment of a raw silk warehouse which will be capable of at least 100000 bales. As a larger part of the capital of the concern has been borrowed from the govern mont at a nominal rate of interest it will be necessary to receive it's ap- proval as regards the disposal of the profit. Should the concern as sug- gested be established most of its shares will be taken up by the pres ent areholders of the Imperial Raw Silk Go. and at the same time the Yokahoma Silk Textile Wareh ouse Co.,, with a paid-up- capital of 475,Ooo ven will be bought up by the new concern The accounts of the raw silk company will be made up during August,

Restricted Use Of Alcohol Decreases
 Rate Of Deaths

London, Aug. 25.-An American doctors are regarded by foreign med ical men as more or less expert con cerning alcohol, both as regards the consequence of going without it al- together; over-indulgence, and the various stages of inebriety betwixt and between.
 Therefore, the assembled doctors at the meeting of the rBitish Medical Association at Glasgow listened with great interest to what Dr. John T. | lMacCurdy, of Cornell Medical College, had to say about alcohol in it's rela- ton to human economy
 Each one of us in varying degrees, he said, has the same difficulty in meeting the world as the unfortunates who demonstrate their inca pacity dra- | matically. The "norma1s'' drugged themselves with cheap fiction; thea ters and moving pictures; above all they forgot themselves in social in tercourse.
 When, however, man is tired or oppressed with care" Dr. MacCurdy went on, "how can he forget his ob- sessing anxieties sufficiently to be- come social. If he be normal small amount of alcohol will give the nec- essary relaxation. Conviviality is more important for the maintenance ness than we realize. Innumerable people are happier and therefore healthier because they indulge mod erately in alcohol
  imperfect largely because we have not yet gained the capacity to govern out quarrelsome and dangerous ten that man has discovered to help him with this disability
 Few Drinks Hurt.
 Dr. MacCurdy dealt with what he called the 'paranoiac group" In them he said a drink or two brought out uarrelsome and dangerous ten dencies. They were apt to imagine sights and insults. Frequently they were women haterS, and affected the company of men almost exclusively
 These men are not well-adapteo people, aT1 rebel at discipline or au- thority. Drink brings these anti-so- cial tendencies to the surface As marriage makes the most persistent demand for social adaptation that we know of, many of these men begin to drink only after marriage
 "The innate rebellion at the bond age of marriage appears when alcohol has liberated their inhibitions. They become querulous, and beat or abuse their wives every Saturday night La ter, delusions and infidelity may ap- pear. and eventually become fixed Then the victim becomes certifia ble and is confined"
 Sir James Barr, of Liverpool, con- tinuing the discussion. said that the main value of alcohol was social. James, "take 1t because they like it A great deal of social unrest is due to the h1gh cost O1alcOhOl. l nOLlce that cutthroats hl Ireland and Rus cia are largely teetotalers.'
 pr. c. Sullivan. Medical Superin- tendent of Broadmoor Asylum, said that alcohol, as regards insanity, is a negligible factor" Dr. M Hindhede 1 of Copenhagen, discussed the effect of the severely restricted supply o1 alcohol on mortality in Denmark.

Kings And Queens
 Go To Deauville

Deauville, France. Aug 25.-Deau- vile will see a notable gathering of Kings during this month of August King Albert of Belgium, King Alfon- so of Spain, King Ferdinand of Rou- mania. the Shah of Persia, and the Emperor of Annam, all are expected to spend several weeks in this fash ionable watering resort Most Of them will bring their wives, and a gay season is anticipated.
 Deauville hopes that King Con- stantine of Greece may be lured tenn porarily from his throne to taste some of the pleasures and diversions of the smart seaside town, and that King Alexander of Jugoslavia and his youthful consort. Queen Marie may spend a part of his protracted honey moon here.
 As all the sovereigns are we'll known to one another, it is likely they will seize the occasion to talk over affairs of state and the national problems of their countries. This will be the first time in a generation that so many European rulers have gathered at one spot. ' "A Conclave of Kings is the phrase applied to the event by Dauville's Chamber of Com merce, and Emperor Francis-Jo os- eph's historic admonition to King Ferdinand of Roumania is recalled: 'tIt is a time for us Kings to stick to- gether.''

 Dallas Tex, Aug. z5-The 'fufa- orr campaign for the United States Senatorial nomination between State Railroad Commissioner EaIle B. May field and former Governor James B. Ferguson to determine wh1 oh shall oppose, in the November election, the candidate chosen by the RepubI Icans, ended today and voting will take place tomorrow.
 The campaign has teened with bitter personal attacks by each can dAdaae upon the political and public record of the other,
 Both, of course, have platforms, but their campaign speeches have been fuN of r9dieule and sarcasm df- rected at one another,
 The Mayfe9d platform was origin ally one of opposition to the Esch- Cammins Transportation act, which he condemns In toto, saying If elect ed he win aevotea hts every effort to the repead of that measure and the retu<n of rate-dxing power to the various statess demand that there be no cancellation of debts owed the vorabIe to the enforcement of the Volstead prohibition law and 100 per cent. AmerScantsm>''
 Klan Supports Mayaeid.
 This latter plank Is upderstood to convey the idea that Msydeld is not opposed to the Ka Klux Klan. His opponents both In the first primary of July 27 and Ferguson, in the run oh," have accused Mayaeld of betns a member of the Kan. In the frss primary Bob" Henry. former Con- Rressman, who stated openly he was a member of the klan. charged a con spiracy at the last moment to turn the klan vote of Maytteld instead os to himself
 Ferguson's platform, according to those who differ with him. is s,laA.ky against the <<open shop" in indus
 Mayfaeld has rta1culed Ferguson's claim to being an outspoken advocate never did anything for the lahorina man except with his mouth" while his own record on labor questions is above reproach>
 record as prohtbtttonist will not stand the acid test and has told or numerous occasions tale of how according to Ferguson, Mayf1eld ad- his wife's name, a club in Austin where liquor could be secured, using his wife's name that his own dry record might remain "clean."
 Eerguson Flays Klan.
 In his campaign speeches, Mayfelc has made frequent reference to "10t per cent. Americamisrn," While no' openly acknowledging that he is eralIy understood to mean that he is noe 'againsts' that organization. Fer guson has been bitter in his demunoia' aon of the Invisible Empire"
 Texas has always been known aS state where numerous politica '*clfoues'' are in existence. A pecu' Mar situation has arisen with the de feat, in the first primary, of Senatoa Charles A. Culberson, after twenty four years service in the Unit ed States upper chamber, leaving Mayfield and Ferguson to fight il out.
