Blind war VET TO
OPPOSE BR|T|SHER
Lloyd George Will Have Spirit
ed Opponent

Bangor. Wales, June 2 (UP)-The
eloquence Of blind war veteran
will be matched against the political
eloquence of Lloyd George when the
next election occurs in this district
The reason is that the Caernavon
Boroughs Labor association has just
nominated Thomas Rhys AS their
candidate, against the Liberals
Lloyd George.
Rhys served in France during the
war. He was gassed and blinded.
After the war. he trained to be a
masseur. The effect of gas forced
HIM to give up good job in a hos
pital. Returning to Wales, he took
up an arts course at the Bangor uni
versity college from which he grad
uated with first class honors in phil
osophy.
There is no election scheduled
here for the present. the local labor
organization has merely elected
their candidate to be ready when
ever an election does take place.
The fact that it has chosen Rhys
is interpreted in political circles
here as meaning that Lloyd George
will need every bit of his usual
cloquence if he wants to triumph
over his blind adversary. This is
because labor has chosen a cand-
date who. in addition to being brit
liant of intellect and education. has
a war record such as is likely to
command unusual sympathy from
the masses.

Washington, June 2 Up - How
much does the United States capitol
weigh and how did George Wash
ington keep his wig on?
The answers to such questions
must be constantly in the pretty
heads of six feminine capitol guides
whose services are available to
Washington sightseers.
If the young women do not know
the answers to all the questions
tourists think up, they smile sweet
ly and refer the seekers after knowl-
edge to the library of congress.
The little band of capitol guides
was first invaded by a woman four
year ago when Mrs L. B. Lingo be-
came the 18th member of the staff.
The latest acquisitions to the fem
mime force came a year ago in 49,
year-old twin sisters, Elizabeth and

IN order to get definite figures to

greatly on the new highway from

that some form Of safety measures
should be installed at Upson's

stationed himself at the corner dur

the number of cars that pass by the
corner. The figures are somewhat
startling, showing that an average
of 200 automobiles pass Upson's
cctner every half hour. The traffic
is especially heavy during the after
noon.
There has been considerable
criticism over the conditions exist
ing at the corner, many people
and the lives of the children are
constantly endangered. Upon hear
ing of the protests against the cor
ner. John A. Macdonald of the
state highway department investi-
gated and reported that every fea-

the corner was local problem. He
urged the town officials to take a

houses and tenements were built hastily
with little consideration for pernla-
nency or comfort. Replacement has
forged ahead during the past few years.
