Upshaw Addresses
High School Group
Cheers Evidence Appreciation

Going from door to door of the
senior high class rooms abtut 2:4O
p. m. on Thursday, May 10, Mr.. Bos-
ton caused much delight wherever
he stopped by announcing that if the
teachers saw fit they were to take
their classes to the double room on
the third floor for a lecture. OF
course, the teachers did "see fit"
and soon several hundred pupils
were gathered and waiting eagerly.
The speaker proved to be Con-
gressman w. d. UpshaW from Geor-
gia. Although he is a national fig
ure, it was the first time that many
of us had seen this man who had
pluck enough to come back with
real joy in living after being bed
ridden for seven years. Seeing him
smile, laugh, and joke as he leaned
on the crutches that are indispen-
sable to him, the whole student body
seemed to catch the cOntagion of his
motto Let nothing discourage you;
never give up" so that at the close
of his speech when Mr.. Upshaw sug-
gested fifteen rahs for the team that
was about to play FELTON,, the pupils
as a whole insisted on fifteen rahs
for Upshaw.
AS Lily Lord remarked, it was the
first funny" speech we've had all
year, Wouldn't Lily be Mortified if
she realized that the Congressman
was really preaching temperance in
a sugar-coated wayl

Manual Training Boys
Turn Stage Carpenters

When I entered the manual train=
ing room with its numerous work
tables, l noticed a group of COM
pleted articles in the left side of the
room. Among them were smoking
stands and garden trellises. These
classes do not seem to be occupied
with their own particular work now
as much as with getting some work
done for the operetta that is to be
held on Friday, May 27, at the high
school auditorium. The manual
training department is taking care
of all the stage properties that need
to be made, just as they did last
year.

ALBANY, N. Y, July / GN.S0.
Although SO votes away from a
xtWo-thirds majority after three
prolonged ballots, Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt is still con.
fident that he will be the Demo
cratic nominee.
The governor received newspa,
permen early today. He had been
sitting by his radio. listening to
the convention proceedings for
more than IL hours.
The governor said he would
sleep for about two hours and
spend the rest Of the day, until
the convention reconvenes, in tele-
phonic conversation with his Chi
cago lieutenants.
Mrs. James Roosevelt, the gov.
ernor's mother, his wife, and two
of their sons also remained up
through the night. All of them,
as we'll as the newspapermen
who held vigil through the night,
appeared to be more tagged than
Roosevelt, whose white linen suit
was not even rnuSSed.

CHICAGO, July / G.N.S0'
Democrats may have liquor in
their platform, but they can't

That was the notice served
today by prohibition agents who

4 PCT. BEER BILL
URGED ANEW

A bill to legalize 4 per cent
beer was offered today by Sena
tor Bingham (R) of Connecticut
as an amendment to the, home
loan banks measure. He said:
81 hope can defer a vote
on this amendment until next
week, when Democratic Sena-
tors probably will be back from
Chicago.
In previous tests, mOdifica-
ton bills have received more
support on this side (Republi-
CAM of the aisle than on the
Democratic side. Now that
Democratic national convention
is on record pledging the party
to modification, I am very
hopeful the amendment will be
adopted"
A provision aimed against the
return of beer saloons was in
cluded. It provides that beer
within the 4 per cent limit must
be sold in pint bottles and not
consumed on the premises where
it is purchased.
Hotels and restaurants are
authorized under the amendment
to serve beer in pint bottles to
their patrons.

The first rays of the morning

ent governor and went over to

Tammany Chieftain John F..

ton. sprung a surprise by de.
manding a poll of the delegates
when New York was called upon
tc cast it's vote.
It was a clever piece of
political strategy on the part of
the Tammany chieftain, for it
caught the Roosevelt forces in
the delegation mapping, with the
result that several Tammany
controlled alternates voted for
Smith in the absence of Roose-
velt delegates.
Mayor James j. Walker was
absent from his seat when Curry
demanded a poll of the delega-
ton, but appeared just before the
final vote.
Rising in his place, as a hush
settled over the big convention
hall, Mayor Walker said:

CHICAGO, August 5.-The warning
that Chicago soon may have no city
government unless property owners pay
their taxes again sounded through the
City Hall yesterday.
1t followed announcement from four
OF the city's largest banks that they
would purchase ten or twelve million
dollars more of tax warrants, land then
we're through"
Purchase of warrants by banks has
been principal reliance of city and
county governments for revenue since
changes in assessments and a tax
strike" have combined to hold up reg
ular tax collections. The warrants are
issued with the understanding they
would be redeemed when collections of
taxes permitted.
Pay rolls alone for municipalities In
Cook County require $l20, 600 600 for a
year and most of the corporate bodies
are considerably behind in meeting
them.
ITS up to the taxpayers said Mel
win A. Traylor, president OF the First
National Bank and spokesman for the
banks. The banks can take only about
$4,000, 900 more in warrants. The tax
payers will have to do the rest"
The banks have purchased the war
rants at par. taking 100000 worth
from the school board today. The gen.
eral public's attitude toward them as
an investment was reelected in quo
tations from 10 to l 5 points below par
