Democrats Must > Pay for Use of City Auditorium •* C. of C. Publicity Bureau Re fuses to Pay Blil for Cam paign Speech Here of John W. Davis. Arthur F. Mullen, democratic na tional committeeman, and J. H. Han ley. president of the Davis-Bryan club of Omaha, will have to pass up and down the democratic aisles and collect at least a 150 from the faithful. One hundred and fifty Iron men are needed to defray the cost of the Audi torium for the Davis meeting Satur day night. Mullen had it figured out that bring ing Davis and his entourage to Oma ha for a whole day would be such and advertising asset that the publici ty bureau of the Chamber of Com merce would pay the rent of the Au ditorium. Mullen asked the chamber to help the democrats to that extent, explaining that the money isn’t com ing in as expected. Local democratic leaders are in financial doldrums. The sinews of war are needed. Harley Conant, chairman of the publicity bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, could not be sold on the idSa that his bureau should pay the rent of the Auditorium for a political meeting. It would be establishing a new precedent, he said. “They won’t pay it," was the brief ^®! eference made by Mullen to the Inci dent, adding that the idea had been suggested to the Chamber of Com merce. City Commissioner John Hopkins, who has charge of the Auditorium, is a democrat and would like to help the boys out In their hour of strin gency, but he is unable to remit the rent even for the appearance of a democratic candidate for president.

By International News Service Staff Correspondent. Syosett, N. Y., Sept. 4.—The hard riding, fashionable polo set of Low: Island gave up its struggle today tc glean from the prince of Wales some thing new and outstanding in up-to date dress. Instead it has seized upon something that delights it far more. That is the prince's manner. It is copying the way he stands, the way he leans, his particular slouch, his nervous ges tures. his obvious inclination to be ‘stiff or formal at no time. Those to whom a club and fashion able out of doors life is everything nere expecting Wales when he came here for the international pole 1 matches to exhibit samples of his con c-ciLs in clothes that have made him the model of all tailors, whether in London, on Fifth avenue, or up one ll.ght where you save $20. Uut Wales fooled them. There has been a despairing sameness about his clothes ever since he set foot off the Berengaria last Saturday. He hat worn the same hats—a smashed down Panama on hot days, or a broad rimmed gray felt turned up or down in cool weather. Wears Blue Shirts. His shirt every day with lounge suits has been blue, with a blue col lar attached. His ties have been rus set or brownish red Indian tints with bandana handkerchiefs of the same hue. His suits were grey, sometimes with a pin stripe, other times with a hairline criss-crossing in large checks. Seldom has he been seen with other than tan suede shoes. The polo set gava up hope little hj little, day after day. There seemed nothing about the prince's- clothes tc copy. Then the eyes that were turned or him wherever he appeared began noticing his distinctive gestures and mannerisms. Wales, when he is a little bored stands with his weight on one foot the other turned out at an angle ol 90 degrees. He shifts his weiglti from foot to foot every few minutes turning the free toe at a correspond Bradley Country Home Dedicated With Dance Shenandoah, la., Sept. 4.—The beautiful new country home of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, who reside here, was formally dedicated Thursday evening when between 600 and 700 guests gathered for a lawn social and dance.

Ing angle. So does Long Island's smart set—now. Never Removes Hat. Prince, when the sun is hot. never takes hat from his warming head. He merely grasps the brim and shoves it backward and forward sev eral times to shuffle up his hair. So does Long Island’s smart set— now. Long Island used to stand erect, chest out, looking for all the world like an outdoora athlete. Then it aaw that Wales, who Is an athlete, slouches a bit, even stoops at times It has picked that up. He lights his cigarets In the wind by shielding them with his hat. That's very Long Islandese—now, too. Besides, it’s the custom here to hold the clgaret between fore finger tip and thumb and rid it of its ashes with a sweeping gesture through the air, rather than by tap ping It with the stiffened forefinger Since the heir to Britain's throne has revealed a predilection for cheap American cigarets, the tobacconists of Long Island see their Egyptian nnd Turkish brands getting dusty on the shelves. Shocks Dowjjgfrs. Twice Wales shocked dowakers and their daughters who rather thought he'd'be over among them by picking out aome obscure point where the chauffeurs of Long Island's Im ported Ntspano-Sulaas congreate to make their cigarets and exchange back stairs talk. The same dowagers and debutantes could not believe their eyes when they saw his royal hlghpes* take a match stick and scratch and dig in the mud at his feet. They gasped when they saw him chewing blades of grass. Once the prince boldly scratched his leg where a fly had hit ten him. At about the enme time. Major Metcalfe, H. R. H.’s eqttery, aeated by him, blandly worked hack one trouser leg and adjusted a gar ter aa if there were not half a hun dred pair of binoculara trained on I (lie pair from as many pointa in the I for members only” section. Feminine Long Island, too. Islearn j ng that some of the stuff about Wales being almost girlishly shy is nothing but stuff They have stared at him when they found him looking their way and have been surprised to find him staring back, neither In friendly fashion nor with hostility, but with the vexed gaze that asks, ‘ Well, what are you looking at?” ■- —-1 Only the best is ever imitated. There are many brands of cheese made to look like Kraft Cheese. But you can always find our name on the genuine. Dawes to Make Trip to Coast G. 0. P.

Burgess Bedtime Stories «- —> By THORNTON W. BIRGE8S. Some people drop their csree with ease. ! And seem to do iust what they pleaae —Peter Rabbit. A Big Family. Having satisfied his curiosity about the members of the Snake family who lay eggs and those who do not. Peter Rabbit forgot all about the matter. There were other things about which he was curious, and so he thought no more about Snakes. One day late in the summer he happened to be over near the place where he had often seen little Mr. and Mrs. Garter Snake. He wasn't thinking about them at the time. He had something else on his mind. Probably he wouldn't have thought ‘‘Phew!” exclaimed Peter, "that is some family. of them at all had not a faint rust ling in the leaves back of him caused him to turn his head. Such a sight as he saw! It is no wonder that his eyes looked as if they were trying to pop out of his head and that for a full minute he couldn't find his tongue. “Great Jumping ghost of my grand father!'1 he cried when he did find his tongue. Then he rubbed his eyes. He rubbed them a second time. There lay Mrs. Garter Snake, and crawling over her and around her were so many tiny Snakes that it seemed to Peter that he must be seeing double. If the blades of gress right around there had turned into baby Snakes there could hardly have been more of them. Anyway, that is how it looked to Peter. \ There was a twinkle in the small black eyes of little Mrs. Garter Snake as she saw Peter's astonishment. She didn't wink or Mink. You know she tins no eyelids, so she cannoj wink, or blink. If she could have winked I am sure she would have, as she said 'Meet my family. Peter Rabbit.” "Are you asking me to belfeve that all those babies are yours?” cried Peter. "Whether or not you bedieve they are all mine doesn't make the least difference in the world," retorted lit tle Mrs. Garter Snake.. “They are mine, every one of them. There are 50 of them." If she had said there were 100; Peter would have believed it, forj those baby Oerter Snakes were so lively that it seemed a* if they were twice as numerous as actually was the case. "Phew!” exclaimed Peter. "That is some family! Do you always have as big a family as this?" “No,” replied Mrs. Garter Snake. “I always have a big family, but this is an extra big family.” "However do you keep track of them ail?” Peter asked. “I don't,” replied little Mrs. Garter Snake. "I don't keep track of any of them. It would be asking too much of any mother to expect her to even try to keep track of 60 such lively youngsters as these. They’ll take care of themselves. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of them have started off already to see the Great World.” While she was speaking Peter had seen two or three of the babies dis appear in the grass. He watched for them to return, but they didn't. Mrs. Garter Snake didn't appear to be in the least worried. Presently she told Peter that she had an engagement and must he moving along. Peter watched her out of sight. Some of the babies went with her, but many didn't seem to even notice that she had gone. A week later when he met her not a single baby was with her When he asked her about them she didn't even seem interested. (Copyright. 1924.)
