Don't believe the stranger who tells you he can steer you to the place where you can win money betting on "fixed" games. Don't think it's your good looks or charming manner that causes the women on the streets to wink at you. She's a bold hussy and will probably pick your pocket or steal your watch.

"Right on time, too," sighed a woman in the great crowd on ti plat form. Those who had come to see the train off swept through the gates in a long and steady stream, waving their flags, tooting their horns and singing loudly whenever the band played anything with word; to it. "I tell you, women know how to do things," went on the woman, whisper ing vehemently, and near to tears. The little company gathered in the observation car and almost com pletely hidden by the flag which Dr. Katherine Bement Davis, waived up and down and around and around, seemed a very slight one to fill the long train on ahead, but other women are to join the party on the way, to go as far as they can or through those parts of the country with which they are best acquainted.

SO cents for a big bottle at Sherman 4 McConnell Drag; Stores, Omaha, Neb. Out-of-town folks supplied by maiL Adv. procession of flag trimmed machines with Hughes banners had passed down Fifth avenue, carrying to the Grand Central the 600 women and sundry men from the Hotel Plaza, where Mrs. Payne Whitney's break fast had been given for the women who were to leave for the five weeks' campaign trip and for Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, guest of honor. And as the machines emptied on Vender bilt avenue and the women flocked down the steps, across the concourse and out on to the train platform, a cheer went up from the congregation of men, women and little boys, who clung as near as possib'e to the in formation bureau tor a good place to see. Mrs. Hughes was to be seen and Mrs. Whitman, and it was some thing to be on hand for. The women have definite reasons for their Hughes campaigning. Al though one clause in their credo has to do with the suffrage for women, there are enough clauses which have nothing to do with it to bear them out in their statement that this venture is purely impersonal and that it is be cause of belief in the ability of Mr. Hughes to better the social conditions of the country that they want him for president. The women who will speak on this trip are largely those who have worked and do work along social lines throughout the country, and base their belief on the stand which he has taken on these ques tions. Albany N. Y., Oct. 2. The women campaigners for Hughes reached this city on schedule time, left the rail road station in automobiles for the executive mansion, where they were given a bit of luncheon by Mrs. Charles S.

September 30th was its Anni versary Day. It was untried, unknown, looked a little strange because it was different, and nobody outside of four men knew what it could do. These four men the men who had dreamed the car had little to say. "What will it do ?" they were asked. "Get in and try," they replied. And in three days' time every last Chalmers executive had ex perienced a thrill that, was new behind the wheel. They banged it around in city traffic, abused it on hills, ran it through broken fields, made it take hurdles they would never ask their own personal cars to take. They were amazed and then they sat down and decided to build three times as many of these cars as they had ever built of any model in a single year before $22,000,000 worth. 1512.14 Farnam St. UNDERWOOD BILL FAILS TOMAKE GOOD Reavis Tells Lincoln Veterans Dem Appropriations Four . Years Back Not Met. GETS ORDERS FROM PEOPLE Lincoln, N'eb., Oct. 2. (Special Telegram.) Congressman C. 1;. Reavis spoke tonight at the twenty fifth anniversary of the Union Vet eran Republican club at the district court room to a crowd which packed the room to its fullest capacity. Addison Wait, president of the club, presided, and introduced Mr. Reavis, who spoke for about an hour. When he arose to speak he was greeted with an ovation which lasticsV several minutes. Mr. Reavis paid particular atten tion to the inability of the Under wood tariff bill to meet obligations and the lack of business methods in handling the affairs of the govern ment. He showed where four years ago congress had voted $198,000,000 for fighting ships and not a keel had been laid; how an appropriation had been made for thirty-one submarines, but not one had been built, and yet the president had advocated a grei: navy, but the democratic tariff Dill had not been able to raise the money. Farmers of the First Nebraska dis trict had been spending their own money to reclaim their land, but southern farmers had been helped by the government pork barrel ap propriation in reclaiming land in the states of the south. Mr. Reavis closed by saying: "My opponent, Mr. Maguire says hat he will be guided by the com mands of - the president. In Eng land the people are commanded by a king, in Russia by a csar ana in R. W. Craig, Phone Douglas 7SS8 Germany by an emperor, but I want to say that if sent back to Washing ton, no president will command my action, as I recognize no power but the sovereign will of the people who elect me and by them I will be guided.''
