Sportsmen Told
About Poison Ivy
IF an outdoor fan Is unfortunate

IF an outdoor fan Is unfortunate

poison ivy this Summer he'll be
better of II he does not listen to his
friends and try all their homemade
'sure-cure remedies" said the 1zaak
Walton League in a vacation bulle-
tin. The method prescribed by the
bulletin Is the result Of hundreds of
experiments conducted by . well
known scientist, ]. B. McNair.
First, injected parts should be
washed thoroughly with strong soap
and water. Laundry soap Is better
than plain hand soap. The idea is
to remove from the skin as much of
the irritating oil Of the poison ivy
plant as possible. Soap and water
will do very well, but washing the
infected parts with ether or chloro-
form is recommended because the oil
of poison Ivy is easily soluble In
these.
Next. apply 5 per cent solution
of ferric chloride which has been
added to a $3.50 solution of water
and alcohol. If you can't get the
alcohol use the diluted ferric chic
ride solution. Swab the infected
parts thoroughly with cotton soaked
in the chloride, and then apply COM
presses of the solution to the in
fected skin. Keep the pads moist
and well bandaged. Renew the
chloride solution at intervals.
Ferric chloride or iron chloride
can be purchased at most any drug
store.

STR|CTER ELECTION
LAW URGED BY NYE
Corruption Threatens Repre-
sentative Government, He
Tells Radio Audience.

Declaring that the growing practice
Of spending large sums of money In
political campaigns is direct incentive
to corruption, Senator Gerald p. Nye
of North Dakota, chairman of the Sen
ate Campaign Funds Committee, in a
radio address last night emphatically
urged tightening up Of laws governing
primaries and elections and stricter linn
itation of campaign expenditures. The
address was made through Station
WMAL in the National Radio Forum
arranged by The Washington Star and
broadcast over the Nationwide net
work of the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
Senator Nye cited the use Of large
sums of money in 1880 primaries and
general elections in a number of States
on such a scale as to Invite corrup-
ton"
Corruption cannot exist without
money to spend" he declared.
Warming on Corruption.
Solemn warning that corruption of
our election system and our Govern
ment will ultimately bring upon us a
disease that would destroy the Repub-
lie and representative Government"
was voiced by the North Dakota SEN
ator.
The most dangerous of variety of
influences at work today which threat
en- our representative form of Govern
ment, Senator Nye said, is the use of
large expenditures in the conducting
of political campaigns. This situa-
ton, he said, forms the most important
issue confronting American Govern
ment today.
Senator Nye called upon all voters
of the Nation to stand out and I'M
compromisingly and jealousy rebel
against and guard against the corrup-
ton of our election system and fight
1t, whether it's sponsors are Republican
or Democratic leaders"
The primary system of choosing can
didates for public office, Senator Nye
pointed out, grew out of a wholesome
desire on the part of the people of the
country to escape from corruption preva-
lent in the older convention plan.
Would Not Go Backward.
Certainly We don't want to go back
to that convention plan simply to make
it easier and cheaper for selfish in
terests to accomplish their purpose" he
said
IF the repeal of the primary laws
is not the cure for the ills growing out
of huge campaign expenditures, then
what is the remedy? 1 think there are
three positive things that can be done.
FIRST, there should be a tightening up OF
our law governing the conduct of cleo
lions, both general and primary Sec
ond, there should be stricter limitation
by law of expenditures; and, finally,
there should be an awakening on the
part of people to rebellion against money
holding such sway as it does in some

BULLET MYSTERY

Limerick Death Testimony
Further ConfIiCtS-More
Witnesses Ready.

Another description of the precise
circumstances at the time Beulah Lin
erick's family was summoned to her
death-bed will be sought from the
first witness when the coroner's in
quiry reconvenes tomorrow-Mrs. Ethel
Annadel of 2412 Fourth street northeast,
a sister of the slain girl.
The versions given at the hearing
yesterday and Friday were substantially
the same except where they conficted
with testimony offered by Lyman
Green, the Casualty Hospital inferno,
who pronounced Miss Limerick dead.
Less than 10 of the half hundred
witnesses under subpoena have been
examined. Dr. j. Ramsay hewitt, cor
oner, said last night he doubted If the
inquiry could be brought to a close
tomorrow.
Omcials feel that too much time has
been spent in hearing testimony with
only an indirect bearing on the death,
and an effort will be made, DR.. hewitt
said, to get to the witnesses regarded
as most important.
Three Men May Testify.
Three of four men held for investiga-
ton in Miss Limerick's death probably
win be given an opportunity TO take
the stand tomorrow. Since they are
technical defendants, it will be optional
with them as to whether they viii

Sergt. John Flaherty, in charge of
the homicide squad, testified yesterday
that the squads investigation failed to
disclose the presence of bullet hole
in the floor under Miss Limericks bed,
a find later reported by Patrolman Rob-
ert F. Langdon of No. precinct, who
has been held for questioning in the
case since Friday week ago.
Langdon was detailed to guard the
death house early on the morning OF
January 2, before suspicion fell on him.
He later reported finding a bullet hole
in the floor under the bed, recovering
the stub from beneath the floor, and an
exploded cartridge in coffee cup in
the kitchen which adjoins the death
room.
