WHETHER it was the water
w melon, or just an excuse to
get away from home one night,
there was a real gathering of Re-
publicanS to attend the Irvington
G. o. P. Club watermelon feast
Monday night.
Whatever the attraction, the best
show in town was offered with a
dual feature.
The first was the Damon and
PythiaS act of Senators Jim Wat
son and Arthur Robinson, and the
second was the old time spellbinding
Republican speech made by the
senior senator.
Every trick Of the political ora
tors trade was utilized.
Senator jim COMMUNICATED the
ladies, waved the flag, made Re-
publicaniSm sound like the "Old
Time Religion" gave the Democrats
the devil, told stories. waved his
arms and shot his cuffs; and if
there had been any babies present
he would have kissed them.
y
1t has been years since there was
such a gathering of Indiana
Republicans.
Among those present were office
holders, would-be Office holders and
past office-holders.
TWO former Governors, Jim Good
rich and Ed Jackson, were interest
ed participants. A roll call of the
guests would have sounded like a

Eczema, PimpIes Sores, BOiIs?
Doctor Says Use RADIUM RAYS
New Home Way
At Last You Can Use Great
New Remedy for Skin
Troubles. Radium Rays
In New Ointment

Everybody knows how quickly
Radium Rays remedy stubborn skin
troubles, pimples, boils, sores,
eczema itching and piles.
And at last, medical science has
found how to include radium- bear
ing substance with other salve in
gradients in an amazing new active
radium ointment called ALBUM.
ALBUM was first given hundreds
of patients who visited the labora-
tory. Those who had stubborn skin
diseases, blemishes, sores, or piles,
which defied other ointments
for years, reported that ALBUM
cleared these troubles right up.
They were amazed.
Then it was decided to place
ALBUM in drug stores. Now you
can end your own skin troubles
quickly through this new discovery.
Special this week at all druggists.

TEN NABBED IN GAME
RAID ARE DISCHARGED
Sheaffer Frees Suspects Because
Search Warrant Is Lacking.

Ten of eleven men arrested Tues
day afternoon by Sergeant Edwin
Kruse in the poolroom of James
Delaney, 140 East Wabash street,
during alleged placing of horse race
bets, were discharged today by Judge
William H. Sheaffer.
The eleventh man, R. M. johnson,
40, of 1920 Central avenue. who
failed to appear, will be rearrested
on a charge of visiting a gaming
house. Following trial of the case
this morning, Johnson's name was
carried as dismissed, but Sheaffer
said this was an error.
The dismissals we're gained on
motions of John Royse, defense
counsel, that police possessed no
search warrants for the place, and
had not seen money won or lost.
Kruse told Sheaffer he heard the
bets being made on the margin, %
but did not see money exchange
hands.

Crisis in
Railway
Revenue

This statement markc
the beginning Of the
twelfth consecutive year
in which there has ap-
peared each month in
the advertising columns
Of the newspapers a
message from the presi-
dent Of the Illinois Gen.
trial System presenting
some railway subject Of
current interest. The
series began September
!, 1920; this is message
No. 1873.
Much railway history
has been made in the
last eleven years. When
these informative dis
cussions were undertake
en-, the railroads were
just being released from
war time government
control, and there was
a serious shortage Of
transportation. Under
the stimulus of the
newly formed Transport
tation Act and its sup
port by the public, how
ever. that emergency
was safely passed.
Now the railroads
face another crisis.
Revenue losses imperiI
their credit. There must
be quick relief. and this
is being sought through
an emergency advance
in freight rates. Again
the railroads ask public
support-this time on a
record of having pro-
Vided the best service
ever known.
Constructive criticism
and suggestions are in
Vited.

DISCRIMINATION
HIT BY WOMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 U.sO
Although the famous man with
out O country was q fictionaI
character, the woman without. a
country Is q very real being and
she. exists by the thousands. Mrs.
o. H. P. Belmont writes in the
September issue Of Good House
keeping.
Mrs. Belmont, social leader and
president of the National Woman's
Party, says unjust marriage laws
in many countries deprive many
women Of citizenship in>their own
or their husbands country when
they marry q foreigner.
In most international marriages,
Mrs. Belmont writes, the woman
automatically loses citizenship in
her own land and can achieve
national rights in her husbands
country only after long and
laborious process.
The magazine carries the thrill
ing story Of Elizabeth Steen, ex-
plorer, on an expedition alone into
Erazil's unexplored jungles, where
she found blood d-thirsty savages in
the role of henpecked husbands.
