Only amateurs would be permitted
to compete, though This would
mean, of course, that the fighters
would not be paid.
Much Interest Here
Under present conditions, 1t is inn
possible to charge admission to any
boxing event. Since there is much
interest in prize fights here, it is be-
lieved by those behind the drive that
ample funds to pay the expenses OF
the programs could easily be OBJ
tanned IL it became lawful to collect
entrance fees.
The friends of amateur boxing con-
tend the game lis being Disseminated

 Madison Square Garden with its seating capacity of about 1s,000 was filled while thousands of others gathered in the street to cheer the republican nominee as he entered and left the hall.
 Because the country is faced with difficulty and doubt over vet eran national problems-that is, prohibition. farm relief and electri- cal power-our opponents propose that we must thrust government a long way into the businesses which give rise to these problems, he said.
 Abandon Tenets
 Tn effect, they abandon the ten cts Of their own party and turn to state socialism as solution for the difficulties presented by all three.
 Tt is proposed that we shall change from prohibition to the state purchase and sale of liquor. If their agricultural relief program means anything. it means that the govern ment shall directly or indirectly buy and sell and fix prices of agricultur- al products. And we are to so into the hydro-electric-power business In other words, we are confronted with . huge program og govern ment in business"
 Expressing opposition to having the government in business. he said Ia program of this nature, would stifle initiative and invention; ii would undermine the development and leadership; it would cramp and cripple the spiritual energies of our people; 1t would extinguish equality in opportunity: it would dry up the

Cascara IS Your
 Doctor 'sChoiice

When physicians pronounce cascara the PERFECT laxative-why ex- pertinent with things that lash the system into action? Cascara, you know. is the bark of tree. A na- tural and normal atimulus to the bowels.
 The Indians, who used to chew this bark. had no word in their lan- suage that meant constipation!
 Perfect regularity is possible tc- day, and to all of us. We have cas- cara in ideal form; the very delight ful-tasting candy Cascaret gives us pure cascara. It has helped at least . million people to habitual regular ity. Millions of others, unfortunate ly, have stuck to stronger things and acquired only the laxative habit.

 Hoover declared he was advo- eating a general policy which did not mean that the government wal to part with ''one iota of its natural resources without complete protec- ton to the public interest"
 T have already stated" he said, that where the government is en- gagged in public works for purposes of flood control: of navigation, of scientific research or national de- fense, or in pioneering in new art, 1t will at all times necessarily pro- duce power or commodities as . by-product. but it must be . by- product of the major purpose. not the major purpose itself."
 Vice President Dawes made hia first speech of the campaign at the Madison Square Garden meeting, saying that the issue was the main- tenance o( prosperity.

Conn. Mother
 Finds Best Plan

When Nature fails you. try and help yourself by the most natural method! That's the advice of lead ing authorities nowadays: and for over fifty years it has been the plan of the makers Of California Fig Syrup. The quick, easy way this pure, wholesome product relieves children of those symptoms of stub born bowels, such as headaches. biliousness, coated tongue, bad breath, no appetite or energy. etc. and makes them strong, energetic and rosy-cheeked again shows there's no use drugging a child with harsh purgative medicines. And Fig Syrup helps give tone and strength to weak. flabby stomach and bowels so they continue to act Of their own accord and you don't have to keep dosing them. Its popularity is shown by it's sales rec ord Of over four million bottles year and by the praise thousands of mothers are fairly showering on it. Connecticut mother. Mrs. Jos. T McGarvey. @ Shermbrook St, Hart ford. enthusiastically declares: My big, fat boy. Edward. is now nearly four. He is strong and energetic and always romping. I give Cali fornia Fig Syrup d lot Of credit for his condition. I have used it with him since babyhood for every cold or upset spell. It always regulates him quick and starts him to eating right and improving in every way"
 Your protection against inferior substitutes is the word California" which siways appears on the carton of genuine California Fig Syrup.

Your first Cascaret will demon- strate how THOROUGH this gentle laxative is, after all. Your next surprise will be the length of time before you need another. Eventual ly, youll see that cascarizing tends to make the bowels move thereafter of their own accord!
 A modern drugstore must stock many laxatives, but for your own good the druggist would rather have you ask for the inexpensive little box of Cascarets than anything else.

THE EVENING STORY

| that the picture Anne sent might have
been too f1attering, as photographs
sometimes are, she laughed infec-
tiously.
And then Rance knew This was his
mothers school friend, Mrs. Eckert, and
without doubt the golden-haired girl
was the daughter, Vivien, of whom he
had heard so much. What was it the
girl did? Ah, commercial art, free
lancing stuff! That was it. What an
idiot he had been not to look them up
before! His mother had certainly Sug-
gested 1t enough times, too.
III tell Della to set an extra place,
Rance" Mrs. Eckert was saying softly
now. "Sit down. Run away. Giggles
Scamper now! Let that work go until
There's nothing I'd like better"
Vivien said calmly. I'm sick of it,
anyhow" she said with a wave toward
a half-f1nished painting on an easel
near the light. Il hate a room like
that, don't you, Rance? I suppose I'll
call you that? But this furniture COM
pany wanted thoroughly conventional
room, without sign of living in it."
she finished with wry face.
He went close to the nearly finished
picture, and there before his eyes was a
very proper room with deep Chester
field, backed by davenport table hold
ing the customary two lamps at either
end. There were four books on the
table, and without seeing the names
oae knew that the books would be of
impeccable taste and choosing. The
shades in the pictured room were drawn
half way down, allowing shadows to lie
on the highly polished floor here and
there. The radio case was neatly closed
and in the whole room there was no
disorder or confusion. He lifted one
hand to rub his eyes-it was-could it
be?-it was EliZabeth's living room
Il know it is dreadful" Vivien was
saying, but it's just like the conven-
tional living room one sees in thou=
sands and thousands of houses and
apartments all over the country now,
from the larger cities on through the
scale to Main street. It's what people
want, you see."
1T wouldn't be what I'd want" said
Rance suddenly. II wouldn't live in
place like that. Say, you could go home
to the wrong house and never know
the difference. Now, a room like
this"
But the fat, comfortable Della, with
her black face half covered by a wide,
toothful grin of welcome, was announc-
ing luncheon. Rance knew, however,
in this instant what he was going to
tell Vivien some day. !ivien! A pretty
name that.
