Today Beautiful and Plump. W alsh, Good Fighter. fcM W ntch Senator Robinson. ^ An Impartial View. i By ARTHUR BRISBANE V--y Underwood of Alabama, Robin son of Arkansas, McAdoo of the United States in general were all three put in nomination. News columns will tell you what happened in the way of demonstrations. Most interesting was a young woman from California, carried around the floor of the convention for about an hour on the shoul ders of two California young men. If you meet those men, praise them. A girl can’t grow up in Cal ifornia’s sunlight, eat California fruits and other products, and weigh only a few pounds. She was a beautiful girl, a plump girl, with yellowish long hair down her back, her waist made of stars, her skirt of stripes. You must give her credit also, for not once in the course of her ride around the hall did she stop yelling for McAdoo. She weighed 140 if she weighed an ounce, and she was perfect. Three cheers for California. Conventions are dull. This one is unusually stupid because there isn’t any news. Asking “who do you think will be nominated?” is like looking down a coal hole and asking “how many lumps of coal do you think there are in the cellar?” Lp* It was pleasant yesterday to see the enthusiastic reception to Sena tor Walsh of Montana. He is of Irish descent and a Roman Cath olic. If there was a man or wo man in the hall who didn’t cheer and applaud when he walked up to the platform, you couldn’t see that man or woman from the reporters’ stand. His earnest, sun-browned face, deep set gray eyes and splendid record as a fighter of the copper combination in Montana and of the oil rascals in Washington gave him what he deserved—a demonstration of friendship and admiration of which any American might be proud. W’hen A1 Smith is nominated, here in his own town—the nomina tion may come today—there will be a demonstration more violent than the Walsh demonstration. But of Senator Walsh of Montana, you can say this: He has the respect and admiration of his countrymen. That’s better than a nomination. • The alleged “news” yesterday was this: "When the time comes, if it does come, for A1 Smith to give his dele gates their freedom, releasing their votes for some other candidate, it will be done on condition that they shall not under any circumstances vote for McAdoo.” That interests the McAdoo men. Some of them seem to think it ^ would help McAdoo. The reception given to Senator Bobinson of Arkansas was most friendly, one of which his state may be proud. Every intelligent democrat in the hall knew that Sen ator Robinson has been the leader of sane democratic progressivism in the house, and that he has kept the progressive element lined up with extraordinary skill. If, and after, the “leading can didates” are disposed of, you will find Senator Robinson one of the most powerful surviving candi dates. He is a good American, and would make a good American pres ident. you would like prediction, from a source usually not available, here it is: It comes from a young English woman very well known to all so ciety reporters. Sitting beside Senator Copeland of New York on the platform and explaining American politics to him, she said: "I have been through the west. And I know that A1 Smith will sweep the country if he runs. I have also gathered the information that beyond question, with A1 Smith running as the democratic candi date and I.a Follette as an inde pendent, Mr. Coolidge would run third.” • This would interest you, coming from an entirely impartial source. Asked to what extent she had “been through the west,” she re plied that she had been to Cleve land, O., to see the republican con vention. Washington, Oregon, Alaska and other points west will "get a kick out of that.” You hear little about the league of nations in the convention. Demo crats that committed themselves to it four years ago are inclined to apologize They say ‘‘it isn’t so much of an issue now.” As the war fades into the distance, those what have no interest in interna tional bankig, no “rakroff” on bond issues see more clearly. They are not quite so proud of the theory that the United States is not. able to take rare of itself or manage its own affairs without the help and ad vice of European nations or Euro pean world courts.

Ford Urged by i Dr. Junkers to j Build Planes Grrmati Scientist Confers W ith Auto Maker Con cerning Manufacture of Al Metal Ships. Detroit, June 26.—Dr. Hugo Junk era, German scientist and aeronau tical authority, was to confer with Henry Ford and Kdsell Ford today in an effort to induce the automobile manufacturers to join with him in equipping the world with all-metal air planes ami furnishing the United states with a dependable air |>assen ger service. Dr. Junkers, it was learned, ar rived in Detroit unannounced Sunday and conferred with Henry Ford on Monday. At that time the confer ence for today was arranged. The German scientist desires to establish a system in this country similar to the 2,000,000 miles of interlacing linns now operated by his company in Europe. The object of the visit of Junkers and his associates to Detroit, it is said, is with the hope of enlisting the Ford company in turning out planes, as no planes of big passenger carrying capacity can be built In Germany under the terms of the treaty of Versailles. The treaty would not apply, however, to planes built by Junkers in the United tSates. Accompanying Junkers are Dr. Gottfried Kaufmann, managing direc tor of Junkers' European air lines; Dr. Hannes Hagemann, also of the air lines, and Mermon Mierzinsky, director of the Dessau office of the company.

Combs’ Great 36th Anniversary Jewelry Sale Closes Saturday, June 28 Don't Mitt This Chance to Save 20% to 50% on GOOD JEWELRY 305 South 16th St NEW LOCATION AFTER a fatal motor accident on West Center the driver, a jLV young woman, said,.“I couldn’t stop my car.” The brakes had failed. But it was then too late to think about brake ' lining. Everyday the toll of human life increases because so many car owners neglect their brakes! What about your brakes? Can you depend on them? Will they protect you in time of danger? That is something to think about. Above all things be sure of the brake lining. Don’t risk your life and the lives of others, on lining whose only recommen dation is “price.” When it comes to brake lining take no chances. Be safe. Be sure. Buy sturdy, reliable dependable Raybestos. No other lining has the same high quality. No other lining will wear as long and as well. Those who seek real brake protection, insist upon Raybestos! Quality Service BRAKE LINING a The Raybestos Way Is the Safe Way Here you see how solidly and sub stantially Raybestos is applied to i the brake band. The lining is held , securely and can be effectively used down to half its original thick ness. The rivets are countersunk so that all the braking surface, (not half of it), comes in direct contact with the brake drums. This means safety and economy. Correct Application Correct application of brake lining is equal in importance 1 to Raybestos. Both assure the full measure of protection. Have your brakes lined with Raybestos by the Raybestos Method. The rivets will be of tubular brass construction properly countersunk. The lining will wrap evenly around the brake and rivets cannot score the drum. All of the braking surface will be in operation. This adds not only to safety, but reduces costs for repairs. Avoid slip-shod, careless methods. They are costly, unsound, unsafe. Where to Have Your Brakes Examined The following Raybestos Brake Service Stations have installed the Raybesios High Speed Brake Relining Equipment, which lines brakes electrically. Any of these reliable stations will inspect your brakes. If new lining is needed, they will not only supply you with genuine Silver Edge Raybestos. but apply it correctly by the Raybestos Method ana quote you a flat j price for the complete brake job.
