Held Up Poker PARTY


Window, December 6.-The Citi-
zen says: Surely Window is coming
to the front as city, as is evil
denced by the bold hold up that was
staged on the East Side last Satuf-
day night. Some of WINDOWS sports
had gathered at the home Of a bach
elor to play a little game Of poker
and had just got nicely started, we
are told, when two "gun men" en-
tered the door and ordered the
bunch to stick 'em up" and then pro-
ceeded to line them up face In along
the wall. The bandits then grabbed
all the coin in sight and made their
getaway by auto which was standing
in the street and in which two other
men were supposed to be sitting.
About twelve members OF the little
party felt the loss more or less, how
ever, one fellow succeeded in sal
Vaging a twenty dollar bill and an
other about forty or better by dis
appearing under the bed. We have
1t on good authority that about a
year ago two men from an Iowa town
landed In Window looking for a
game with the intention Of carrying
nate and donated a large sum to, the
local boys and It is supposed that
Saturday nights raid was engineer
ed by them. 1t Is a new trick OF the
game, and sure works for as yet
none OF the losers have filed any
complaint to the local authorities
and the two raiders are about 5000
to the good. In times past the au-
thorities have made raids Of a SINH :
lar nature but never with such good
results as this. AS a rule they have
been able to stop from two to a half
dozen OF the players, coat tails and
heels being being all the could see
OF the rest. II 10 rumored that the
bold bandits showed unusual nerve
In that they came back into town
and stayed at the hotel overnight.

studied silence he has maintained on
public questions since he entered
the White House. His message had
definitely outlined the executive
policy of the administration, but be.
cause Of the political effect It may
have both on his own fortunes and
that of his party.
In addressing congress in person
Mr.. Coolidge adopted a custom re-
established by Mr.. Wilson and pur-
the house chamber, standing at the
clerks desk in front of the clerk
dias where he had sat as vice-pres-
ident on the occasions that his late
been awaited not only because it
chief addressed congress.
Large Demand For Tickets
There was an unusual demand for
tickets to the house galleries to hear
the first speech Of the new presi-
dent, and even standing room was
at a premium long before he began
to speak.
Outside, on the capitol plaza, an
other large crowd heard the address
through an simplifying device, and at
the same time It was carried
throughout the entire country by ra-
do.
On the floor Of the house itself
the crush was 80 great that mem
bers complained they were unable to
get the seats to which they were
entitled.
Mrs. Coolidge sat in the executive
gallery. She had arrived before the
house assembled at noon and re-
ceived an ovation from the floor and
galleries.
Senators, representatives and
spectators stood and applauded
when the president appeared. The
applause expanded into cheers from
the republican side, as he shook
hands with Speaker Gillett and
President Cummins of the senate
and bowed to his audience.
Executive Spoke Slowly.
The chief executive spoke slowly
and deliberately without effort at
oratory. The first applause came
whep he declared the United States
saw no reason to limit its own free
dom and independence Of action by
Joining the League OF Nations.
There was scattering applause as
Mr.. Coolidge declared for the world
court. but with reservations. A dec
laration aPainst recognition Of the
Russian Soviet government brought
further manifestations of approval
as did the presidents announcement
that he did not favor cancellation OF
the foreign war debt, and his an
nouncement Of his unqualified ap.
proval" of the Mellon tax program.

TONE IN AFRICAN WIRELESS
Matter That Has Long Batiied Euro
peans Seems to Have Been Cleared
Up by Discovery.

just at the time when the British
are expecting authorization Of their
own wireless broadcasting, the secret
of African 'wireless"-the drum mes
sages that have baffied the curiosity
of travellers, explorers and big game
hunters ever since they have known
of it--has been discovered.
Everyone who has Travelled in Africa
has listened with thrill to the drums
OF the natives rolling and tapping of
message to a distant village, which
In turn sends it on. The message may
be anything social announcement,
dance invitation or a tribal call to
arms for war. That these messages
are accurate has been proved time and
again.
Always there has been an astonish-
ing accuracy about native messages
sent in this way. and the natural con-
clusion was that they used code.
This, indeed was the general concln-
sion. But it is not so. The man who
has discovered the secret, u we'll
known African explorer, tells the
writer that the drum messages are
