Times Washin0ton bureau.

1919 " GU VI ~ ACoJtWC
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Presi-
dent Coolidge was informed this
week by Representative Walter II.
Newton of Minnesota that Republic
an control of the next House is as
sured. About the same time Repre-
sentative William A. Oldfleld of
Arkansas declared Democratic con.
troll appears certain.
Newton is chairman of the speak
ers' bureau Of the Republican cam
paign committee. Oldfield is chair.
man Of the Democratic congressional
committee.
Newton came from Chicago to
make report to the President on
the Republican outlook in the West
nnd the Middlewest.
Certain of Control
1--WE are certain to control the
House by approximately the same
majority we have now" Newton said
IT have been in touch with every
State west of the Alleghenies and
our outlook could not be better.
There can be no question about our
winning the next House."
Present membership Of the House
is 247 Republicans, 1873 Democrats
and five scattering.
Oldfield, however. challenges New
! tons report.
Only Need 80
IAN we need to gain is thirty-f1ve
congressman throughout the coun-
try" Oldfeld says, land we are as
Nured of doing that. In Pennsyl-
yania alone we are informed that we
well win eight to ten congressman.
Nobody estimates under seven. The
Pennsylvania delegation now is solid
ly Republican. We expect to gain
in New York, Ohio, Indiana, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, West Vir-
GINA, Iowa and elsewhere"
Despite their confidence, both New.
ton and Oldfeld are preparing to en-
ploy every resource to insure victory.
Newton will have at least $50 Re-
publican orators on the stump in
western States in addition to the
candidates themselves. Oldfeld will
have every available Democratic ora
tor in the doubtful districts of the
East, North and West.

Construction Of large signboard
is annoying to a correspondent of
Mr.. F'ixit today, but there appears
to be no remedy.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: They are
building a large signboard next to
my property and different ones have
told me it will decrease the valuation
Of my house. 1 have also been told
that they can't put signboard up,
unless it is in a business district.
There is no business district on this
side of the street, for three squares.
Children are climbing it con-
stantly and it annoys me. as l am
in very poor health. Would you
please advise me if anything can be
done to stop this, or even have it
moved farther back on the lot?

Unless your home is on
boulevard, there is nothing to pre-
vent sign from being erected.
The only restriction applies to

DEAR MR.. FTXIT: The Merrill
ST., tunnel between Delaware st.
and Madison Ave-, is in a very in
sanitary condition. There is a slope
that causes the dirt to be washed
toward the center when it rains.
This has accumulated for a long
while.
Also the tunnel is lighted very
dimly, making it unsafe for girls
passing through there on their way
home from work.

HUGE NATIVE SKULL

LONDO.-The skull Of a native of
South Africa, who died short time
ago, was found to measure eight and
one-half inches in length, with a ca
pacity Of 1872 cubic inches. The dis

German named Diehlmann as.

Md. and played his flute at mid
night Christmas eve. The custom
is still observed by his relatives.
The same anthems and the same

program included Gounod's Ave

memory. Since Larry's death the
custom has been upheld by another
son.

MIDDLETOWN LABOR
Celebrates Twentieth Ami
versary Of Central Body

Thursday night of last week was a
big night for organized labor of Mid
dletown. The occasion was the cele-
bration of the twentieth anniversary
of the founding of the Middletown
Trades and Labor Council. The cele-
bration included banquet, speaking
and musical program, followed by a
dance. The festivities were held in
the |. 0. O. f. hall, with nearly 200
members and their families present.
Twenty years ago the Middletown
central body was organized with only
eight unions existing in the city at
the time, composed of 700 members.
There has been steady advancement
of organized labor in Middletown un-
til today there are Is unions with
approximately 1000 members affil-
lated with the central body Much
of the progress of the movement there
is due to the efforts of Robert Fitz-
gerald and Gus Miles, two real live
wires in the movement
Fitzgerald acted as toastmaster at
the banquet, and in a few brief re-
marks he welcomed the visitors and
spoke of the success of the organized
labor movement in Mddletown in the
past and predicted for it greater sue
cess in the future, after which he in

whom was Stanley Ogg, of Hamilton,

Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Ogg's talk was listened to with
keen interest as he told of the bat
ties of organized labor in the past
and why labor stands against organ
izing state constabulary
j. D. Round, of the Painters Union,
spoke on the labor situation in
Scotland, his native country, and
rendered several Scotch songs for
which he was roundly applauded.
Little Miss Lorine Johnson, aged
five, made decided hit when she

lives and complimenting those in
charge for the success of the affair.

W. W. FINFROCK
Announces Candidacy For
County Sheriff on Demo-

w. w. Finfrock announces to the
world that he is a candidate for the
nomination for sheriff of Butler
county, Ohio, at the primaries to be
held in August and he wants it known
he is running on the democratic
ticket. "Bill" or "Finny," as he is
known to almost every man, woman
and child in the county, has been
county humane officer for the past
ten years, and the splendid manner
in which he has always conducted the
duties of that office, has brought him
favorable consideration, and hun
dreds of friends who will wish him
success in his political venture.
Bill" is a union man of the old
school and has helped fight many of
labor's battles in the past, when a
battle for labor almost weekly was
the usual thing. No better union man
than he is to be found anywhere.
Though his work, during the past ten
years has been out of organized la
Dor lines, he has never been out of
the ranks of trade unionism, and to-
day proudly flashes his paid-up card
showing him to be in good standing
in the local Painters, Paper Hangers
and Sign Writers Union. Finfrock
will be heard from in the coming
campaign.

years gone by. The circus will ex.
hibit on the fairgrounds on Friday
April 30.
The Walter l.. Main Circus needs
no introduction to the circus fans OF
this entire section, as it has appeared
here many times during its success
full career of AZ years, and has al
ways created a favorable impression
by the quality of performance and
general merit Of the entire tented
organization.
This year marks the climax of the
long period of success and finds the
big show" greater than ever before
More railroad cars are needed fol
transportation and hundreds of new

The Cherry
!" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly. :. :.

Many persons from time to time
pertinently ask What is jazz? 1t
is probably the most used word in
the bright lexicon of Americana, and
probably the least understood. We
think we know what jazz is, but for
the life of us we can't precisely de-
fine it. Pinned down, the best we can
do is to assert that jazz is jazz, just
as white is white and pigs is pigs
One difficulty perhaps is that jazz
is a matter of opinion rather than
definition. If it is not quite all things
to all men, it is at least many differ
ent things to many different men. One
looks beneath the surface of it and
finds something good, and another
sees in it only what is supremely bad.
One believes it expressive of certain
spiritual ferments at work in this
human mash, another is certain that
it is merely cheap and tawdry and
vulgar
Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts,
entertained two callers in his office
the other day, each of whom had
something to say about jazz. One
was W. FRANKIE Harling, musical gen
ius, composer of the new American
opera, "The Light from ST. Agnes

Said he:
"Jazz is the pulse of America. Most
