To the many who believed that

the season without defeat or tie,
Saturdays scoreless battle with
Cape May High School was dis
appointment, but the Maroon has
as yet its goal line to be crossed,
or it's cross; bar to be kicked over.

Cape May. has always, been a
tough foe of the Maroon, Not on
" in football, but in basketball
and baseball. Despite their rating,
the Cape lads seem to put out ex-
cellente teams, which make life any
thing but thing to be enjoyed by
any rival. T
Joe Thompson and Kane, two
new playersr showed what they
could do on the line Saturday.
Thompson played an end. while
Kane, who arrived at the game
late, replaced Bradley at tackle.
Both played good football. Coach
Shaffer also tried out some new
backfield material when he sent
in Kinsey for Griscom, and put
Bradley in the backfield the last
quarter.
The eleven that trotted on the
field Saturday was stronger than
the team that defeated Clayton the
previous week. The play was not
all that was to be desired. After
that march in the fourth quarter,
the Maroon should have pushed
the ball over the white mark, and
won the game.
!; Teachers who come here from
other systems are surprised at the
lack of interest shown by the
townspeople in their sports teams.
After falling to support a baseball
team that was the best in South
Jersey, and won the League cham
pionship, they continue to refuse
to lend aid to the high school and
the town football teams.
In other places both students and
teachers turn out to lend support

winning or losing. Here they do
not show. mitch interest at either

whether the city wants sports

INDIANA AUTO BODY.
MAKES ARREST EASY
Members Provided With Bonds to
Eliminate Red Tape-Ofiicials
Back Plan.

1t is not pleasant to be arrested
under any conditions, but the HOosier
State Automobile Association has
adopted a plan that makes the pro-
cedure less unpleasant than it other
wise would be. according to Ernest n.
Smith. general manager of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
The Indiana motorists association
and its local clubs have adopted an
appearance bond that is pidly prov.
ing its merit to club members. police
and court officials alike" says Mr..
Smith
The bond is regular form which
Identifies the bearer as member OF
reputable automobile club and guar.
antees his appearance in court with
out forcing him or the arresting Off
Ger to go through great deal of
time-wasting and anger provoking red
tape. In addition to this, the bond
pledges the Hoosier State Automobile
Association to assist the court to the
extent of $50 in experimenting any of
Its members who violate its provisions.
This work of the Indiana associa-
ton is directly in line with the policy

ton, with which it is affiliated, to CO.

promotion of highway safety and obe-
dience to traffic regulations.
The appearance bond calls the at
tention of the member who carries it
that it does not pay to argue with the
officer, and points out that it has the
assurance of State officials that Off
GERS will respect ones membership in
a reputable motor club.
THE bond has been given the ap.
prevail of the Secretary of State Of
Indiana and the State motor police.
Municipal authorities also are showing
it every respect"

The result of these lines of work
has been the intensive production of

The future economic value of this
work promises to be second only to
the cracking process itself as a means
for effectively increasing the motor
fuel supply. This results from the
fact that these specially treated fuels
are ca pable of use in automobile en-
gines of efficiency far higher than the

From the standpoint of economies

If you were told by your druggist
that he could prepare the best and
quickest acting cough balsam there is,
but that the price would be high be-
cause of it taking hours to COM
pound, and the ingredients expensive,
you'd want that cough balsam regard
less of price wouldn't you.
Anybody would. We all want the
best. No ordinary makeshift syrups,

do for right thinking people, when a

Fortunately your druggist has on
hand at the cost of only 35 cents this

Klan Wizard Says :.
Sen Watson Got to Sen.
Moses in Mayfie1d Case

Chicago, Oct. 20.-(P)-Ku Klux
Khan support of Senators James L.
Watson and Arthur Robinson, Repub-
licans, Indiana, in their fight for re-
election was testified to today before
the senate campaign funds COM
mittee.
Hugh p Emmons, of South Bend,
Indiana, a former exalted Cyclops,
declared he had been told by khan
officials that Walter Dessert, of
Indianapolis, had been removed as
grand Dragon for Indiana, because
he had refused ito go down the line"
for Senator Watson in the present
campaign.
Emmons also charged that W. Lee
Smith, Of Evansville, Ind, appointed
by DR.. Hiram w. Evans, Imperial
Wizard, to succeed Dessert, had Of
fered the witness $4,000 if he would
support the Watson candidacy.
Asserting that he had declined this
proffer, Emmons charged that Smith
told him that if he turned traitor"
he might go down the line" remind
ing him that 1.-THE good died young"
The former Indiana Khan official
told the committee that he had been
informed by Evans that the Khan
owed a debt to Senator Watson be-
cause he had been instrumental in
the seating Of Senator Mayfield,
Democrat, Texas, described as one
of the best Klansmen in the United
States. The Imperial Wizard was
quoted further as saying that Sena-
tor Watson had gotten to" Senator
Moses, Republican, New Hampshire,
with reference to the seating Of May
field.
Relating that Evans visited South
Bend shortly before the Indiana sem
atorial primary, Emmons declared
Evans had told him that If big
majority were given Watson it might
be that he would become a presi-
Dental candidate. The witness re-
lated that Evans had said that should
Watson reach the White House he
would appoint as Ambassador to
Mexico, William F. Zumbrunn, for
merly Of Kansas City, and now of
for the Khan.
Evans, Emmons continued, de-
scribed Zumbrunn as a person of
great influence with United States
senators and their wives.
HE wines and dimes with them,
Emmons said Evans had told 0lim.
Before opening its investigation Of
the Indiana situation, the committee
heard a vigorous disclaimer from
Hugh s. Nagi1l, of Chicago, indepen-
dent Republican senatorial candidate
in Illinois. that any such sum as
S300,0 600 or S400,00 was to be ex-
pended in his campaign against
Frank L. Smith, regular Republican
nominee. and George Z, Brenna, the
Democratic candidate.
