ial section also presents several
changes. All roads are now
shown in blue to improve read
ability and to set out in sharper
relief places Of interest, ferries,
bridges, mileaGes, and other
features which are shown in red.
And the scale CT the map has been
increased about seven per cent
which has allowed the addition
Of more roads an much useful
information. Altogether about
% per cent more localities are
shown on the map this year.
A new feature is an insert
giving h e radio stations and
their frequencies for the con-
venience of motorists with radios
in their cars.
1t is expected that the new
map will contribute materially
to tourist travel in West Va, in
that the colOred illustrations

attract tourists andcause them

ling trips that otherwise might

Hundreds of thousands of

GRAND TREASURER NOMI-
MATED TO CONGRESS
Big Lead for Judge Henry In
Primaries on May II; Is Elk's
Grand Treasurer; Nomination
Practically Equal to Election

Philadelphia - Nomination to
a legislative post in the state of
Pennsylvania is almost as as
surfing as the final election itself,
say many old line politicians in
this state. SO the nomination for
Congress in the primary vote
won on May II by Judge Edward
w. Henry, grand treasurer of
Elks, may easily be a prediction
that he will represent the 2nd
congressional district in con
greSS.
Magistrate Henry, admitted
ly the most astute figure along
the political riaIto, and possessor
of charmed political life" use
ing the words Of Orrin G.. Evans,
a Philadelphia writer, won the
Republican congressional nOmi-
nation and whether lot Of peo-
pie like it or not it looks like he
will be sitting with the other
congressman in the great marble
halls Of the capitol building al
Washington this time next year.
Judge Henry polled a vote Of
1885, overwhelming his Jewish
opponent who received G,538,
and the third candidate with his
,270 votes.
With II Negro candidates for
legislative endorsements Judge
Henry's fight throughout the
city was considered the high
light Of the voting. Despite an
appeal to racial feelings launch
cd late in the afternoon by white
opponents, the well-known poll
tician emerged victor.
Three other Negroes, ONE q
woman, Crystal Bird Fouset,
won nominations to IN Q state
legislature. Local Elks have al
ready indicated their intention
Of fighting to the finish thbI
Judge Henry might be elected
in the November election.
Tn 1881 Judge Henry was
made grand treasurer Of the
ILB.P.O.E. of W., a position he
has held since. For many years
he has successfully piloted O. V

attack was too much for Ross to

was always moving forward and
always punching. He gave Ross
no chance to relax. Barney tried
desperately to box and hold him
off. In the early rounds, Ross
repeatedly speared Henry with

sharp rights but the Negro shook
off the punches and rarely took
backward step.
Ross best rounds were the

On The 100 per cent American

now. I'm 1890, the nationa |

$2,810,000 900. Yesterday, an

round Of hearts and Mr.. Ellis then fig-
ured that the only way he could win
the hand was by running dummys re-
naming clubs in his hand, re-entering
dummy and drawing the last trump
with dummy's king. In order to do
this, declarer led . small diamond and
1lnessed dummy's eight-spot. thus Gre
sting an extra entry In dummy. He
then trumped . club in his own hand,
went over to dummy's king Of dia-
monds and played dummy's last club,
trumping with his jack Of hearts. Mr..
Ellis now led another diamond to
dummy's queen, cashed the king Of
hearts. drawing Vests last trump.
and returned spade to his ace. The
two losing spades in dummy were then
discarded on Mr.. Els two good dia-
monds. Thus Mr.. Ellis extricated him
self from an apparently bad contract.

While the announcement OF Ruth's

negotiations have been under way

self who sold the management on
the idea of signing him.
There isn't much chance Of a

it does occur then. The Babe has

nesses of National league teams and

What kind of manager would
Ruth make? Baseball men are
unanimous on the subject of his abil-
ity. They say he has baseball sense
AN asset you must be born with.
One authority declares there never
was an outfielder in the majors who
made fewer mistakes than the Babe.
This instinct guides manager as

Fans everywhere have wondered
why Ruth hasn't been given man.
