Poli Review

Polls bill, which opened yesterday, ed by Gene Barnes and company.
 "Screenland" proved a popular act with capacity audiences last night. A chorus of pretty girls. an able lead ing lady and a clever comedian are included in the thirteen characters. Good music, clever dances and a chance for real acting put this act across in finished syle.
 The Pierrotos, aerial artists and dancers, open the show. They are exceptionally clever and graceful. A feature of the act is a dance while the actress is suspended by her neck from a trapeze.
 Dorothy Walters, a child actress, entertains with songs and dances. Az a child actress she Is very good. She goes through some difficult dances with ease.
 Bobby Randall, billed as mirth maker, causes n1erriment only be- cause of his funny makeup. His jokes are old and border on the vul- gar in the extreme. His act is by all means the poorest on the pro- gram. Very few of his so-ca1led jokes and funny stories would be fit
 Lilette and company, featuring music and dances of Hawaii, provide some good entertainment. The play ing of stringed instruments is done capably.
 The feature picture is '"No Tres passing" with Irene Castle. a pho topIay with a plot to hold the interest of all, and with many unexpected turns

PRESIDENT HARDING LOVES SPEEDY
 AUTO DRIVING
By GEORGE R. HOLMES


 Washington. July 21 = Warren G. Harding probably will go down in history as notable for number of things, but in one thing particularly his fame already is assured. He 1s the "motoring-est Chief Executive who ever occupied the White House.
 The Presidents love of motoring Is genuine-and he likes to ride fast. Scarcely a day passes that he is not in one of the half dozen White House cars at some time or another.
 A few days ago he established record. On his trip to Marion he took a White House conveyance been taken before. The President used four White House cars on the trip, and they were a never ending sourse of curiosity to the crowds alon g the roads, not one per cent. of whom, probably. had ever seen a White House vehicle.
 If it were feasible the President so great is his love Tor it. For one thing. he says. the air is better than a stuff railroad train, he can regulate his own pace. and it gives him a bet ter opportunity to see the country and the people that are far removed from the right of way or a railroad Also. he says, he can think better in an auto than in a railroad train. Has Owned Many Cars.
 Harding was one of the first pur- chasers of an autom obile in his home succession of them since. He used to drive a car himself, but since he came to the White House the oppressive dignity of his office has compelled him to forego it. He confeses, how ever. that occasionally his hand

The trip back to Washington. some 200 miles. was made in absolute si- lence. Late at night the car finally drove up to Senator Watsons resi- dence and Jim" got out.
 Good night. Senator said Wat son.
 "G'night, Jim," said Penrose.
 While he was in the Senate Presi- Marion to Washington and vice versa by motor. It is a run of some 500 miles. While he was a candidate MT. Harding thought nothing of leaving Marion after a late lunch, motoring playing 8 holes of golf and motor ing back in time for a late dinner.
 The motor car may have a greater addict that Warren GamaEel Hard ing, twenty-ninth President of the United States, but if so he dsn't in public life in Washington.

Existence of
 Lutheran Day
 Schools Menaced

Omaha. Neb.. July 21.-The exist ence of the Lutheran day schools IS threatened. Prof. r. W C. Jesse of Seward. Neb.. said today in an address before the thirtieth international con- vention of the Walther League, an association of young peoples societies Conference. Unless we keep in mind the opposition said Prof. Jesse, who in answering criticisms declared that the schools were efficient and every point, it is clear that the oppo- sition will in the end prevail, and we will lose the treasure we now pos sesS.
 Taking the systems in the aggre- gate, the testimony of those who have investigated agrees that the whole sale charge of ineSiciency is just as unfair against our Christian day The charge of lack of patriotism is still more unfounded. The teachers in our Christian day-schools are American citizens with Americ-- training, owing allegiance to no eartN- 1y power but the government of the United States. Our teachers must whose eyes even the thoughts anu motives of the hearts are not hidden. demands of every one of us that we recognize and love and treasure our own gift and institution and that we be subject unto Gods own represen- tativeS in earthly affairs.
 Ut Is necessary, of course. that we at all times make such provision that the truth will be a real defense. Let us make every effort to keep our schools abreast of the times, and at the very head of the procession. Let our conduct be such as will bear evi- deuce that the supporters of our Christian day-schooss are the very highest type of Christians and the very highest type of loyal and law abiding Americans"

Old Resident Near Death

''I had not eaten food for 10 days and was slowly starving to death. Given up by five doctors, I tried a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which gave relief at once.

sFtches" to get hold of the wheel

s'rtches' to get hold of the wheel again.
 The late Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, used to be known as life in Washington; yet President Harding would give him a close race for honors in this direction. Penrose's Red DeviF was known for miles around
 Senator Jim Watson of Indiana, tells a story of Penrose's motoring. The Big Boss'' used to go out in his car when he wanted to think something out. when he had some problem that was troubling him. He would sit dn the back seat and think while his motor roared through the country. He was not given much to talk.
 One Sunday, so the story goes, Pen rose called up Senator Watson and asked him if he wouldn't like to take a little auto ride. The weather wasn't exactly ropttious, but Senator Wat son was familiar with Penrose's 8 moods and he readily consented.
 The "Red Devil" with Penrose's bulk in the tonneau, picked up Sena- tor Watson at his residence.
 How are you, Senator?' asked Watson.
 sUgh," grunted Penrose.
 They drove off silently. Mile after mile was clipped off in total silence Baltimore. 40 miles away, was reach ed and passed. Wilmington faded away in the distance ana then can,t Philadelphia. Not a word had beer spoken. Penrose sat huddled in his seat intent upon his own thoughts Watson likewise was silent, waitinG for the "big fellow to break the si- lence.
 When Philadelphia was reached the chauffeur turned around. where to, Senator?" he inquired 'Washin gton," grunted Penrose.

COLLEGE BRED MEN HAVE
 BEST CHANGE, IS CLAIM

Birmingham. Ala, July 21-Col- lege sheepskin or high school diplo- ma?
 Dr. J. F. billiard. pastor of the SOutside Paptist church, of Birming- ham, champions the former.
 Less than one per cent. of our men are college graduates" says pr. Dillardf. But of that one per cent. the records show that seven-e -eighths achieve success. It is to be regretted that. of the high school students graduated every year. only one out of every hundred completes a college education. I estimate that the col leSe-bred man has 40 chances to sue ceed to one of the high school grad uate?"
 Does the college education pay?

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised. all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain--the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This . applies more particularly to medi- cine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain sys- tenn the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case 1t shows excellent results. as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large sale ''
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Rc.s is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney. liver and bladder ailments. corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

CHINESE LABOR
 WINS DEMANDS
Unionized Classes of China Learning Power Through
 Medium of Organization

HONGkONG, July 21.-The lowly 1 Chinese wage earner, perhaps the
 most abject of all the worlds toilers, 1 is just learning of the power he is able to wield through the medium of
 organization. and like d great flood
 the movement to form various trade ] guilds is sweeping the country.
 It was hardly more than a year ago that China witnessed it's first inn
 portant strike. Since then the larg-
 CT cities have experienced walk
 outs in almost all classes of work,
 with the result that business is de-
 moralized, transportation is so un- certain that merchants refuse to
 ship, and in many cities the public health is menaced through strikes
 of street swecpers and watcr-works
 employees.
 At the present time in Canton the carpenters. painters. school teachers.
 butchers, street swecpers and city employees are on strike, while the seamen and launchmen, who but re-
 gently returned to work. are on the
 verge of another walk ont. The city
 If Macao is in tho thick of gen
 ersl strike which is almost state
 of siege. The casualties to date have been 40 killed and nearly 200 injured. The situation in this city is sim aor to that in Canton. although here
 wen the beggars and thieves have formed unions which they are using for political purposes The sanitary condition in Foochow, the purely Chi nese section of HongkoDg, is said to be deplorable, as the street sweep CTS. garbage collectors and water carriers arc out to man.
 The seamen's strike here has had 2 tremendous effect all over the Far
 East, as it has given the faborers confidence in their new guilds and stimulated their desire for better living conditions. Tho seamen have heen so successful in forcing their demands that they now talk of going into the shipping business for them selves. The men are being asked to subscribe $5 each. and judging from the eagerncss with which they are responding tho packers of tho proiect expect soon to have a steamer run ming between hore and Canton.
