Girls Returns of the Dempsey- Tunney Fight Read From Stage Special Added Features Nightly BURLESQUE WITHOUT A BLUSH THE GAZETTE 5 ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, Some "Dempsey" Bull-Con. At Atlantic City, N. J. If Jack Dempsey successfully defends his title against Gene Tunney the chance of Harry Wills ever getting a shot at the title will be about 1,000. The champion, Sunday afternoon, is said to have made this statement: "While in Saratoga I made the condition that I would fight Wills if I defeated Tunney, upon condition that he accept my proposition of putting up a forfeit of $150,000, winner to take all. He has not accepted it—and I don't figure he ever will. Wills and Paddy has blocked him at York and he tried to block it in Philadelphia. At every turn they've pulled something that's a whole lot worse than unsportsmanlike. They've done everything they could to block this fight and stop me from making money. Why then should I let them make a lot of money if I am a fight with me if I am still champion when the Tunney show is over?" Wouldn't that jar you? After more than two years' dogging his every footstep, trying to get the artful dodger, Dempsey, in the ring with him (Wills), the pseudo champion is alleged to have coughed up the foregoing ridiculous alibi. It is rot, pure and simple, whether Dempsey or some sport-writer-liar got it out of his system. Harry and Paddy have done all they could, for two years at least, 'force' Dempsey to fight and he has continued to 'side-step' the defeat he well knows awaits him whenever Wills and he do get into the ring for a championship bout. The fight-fans all over the country know this and such silly IN BALTIC LANDS! Dr. C. H. Tobias Preached, Lectured and Sang To The Delight of the Natives—Strong Praise of His Work. On Sunday morning, Aug. 8, a party of 110 Y. M. C. A. delegates, chiefly American, arrived by special train in Riga, having come from the World's Conference of the Association in Helsingfors, Finland. They sent several Sabath as guests of the Riga Y. M. C. A. Dr. Channing H. Tobias of New York, Colored Work Secretary in the National Council, was guest of his Drew classmate, Dr. George A. Simons, superintendent of the Methodist work in the Baltic States. In the foreoon, Dr. Tobias preached in the American church, and in the afternoon, in the German service. In the evening, he delivered a masterly address to a large congregation in the First Lettish Methodist Episcopal church, Akuleia, Riga, his subject "The Tongue of American as American-Cultural Renaissance in America." The people were thrilled as he sang a number of spirituals, and at the close crowded up to grip his hand. "During my nineteen years' experience in Russia and the Baltic countries," said Dr. Simons, "I have had scores of speakers from abroad in our meetings but never before I have immersed anything like these. These Baltic people, whose ancestors had been serfs for centuries, evidently felt a bond of sympathy with this eloquent representative of a race that had come up from slavery. Dr. Tobias is the first Afro-American clergyman who has preached, lectured and sung in these Baltic lands. His presence and messages have brought a great blessing to our Methodist work and the people of Latvia. The newspapers have given much space to the visit of the American Y. M. C. A. delegates and especially to Dr. Tobias."—N. Y. City Christian Advocate. THE WHITE CLERGY LARGELY HYPOCRITES! Their Attitude Toward The Race in Detroit During The "Sweet" Trouble That of the Clergy in Almost Every Large City, at Least, in The Country. Detroit, Mich.—Speaking before the eleventh biennial session of the national convention of Congregational workers among our people, held here, recently, Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered a scathing denunciation of the use of the name of a Christian clergyman in this country. In this city, declared Mr. White, not one white clergyman raised his voice during nine months in which our people were threatened and attacked, culminating in the case of Dr. Sweet's defense of his home; whereas when Clarence Darrow visited the local Jim crow "Y. Y. and declared that he did not think he was as he did before prohibition, the Presbyterian clergyman met and denounced him. Mr. White further assailed the white branches of the Baptist and Methodist churches in the South as recruiting grounds for the Ku Klux Klan and asserted that the Afro-American was becoming increasingly sceptical of the professions of white Christians unaccompanied by any action in accord with he doctrine preached. The address, was enthusiastically received by a mixed audience of white and our clergyman. piffle fools no one, not even the pseudo-champ and his sport-writer friends. When that Dempsey-Tunney Philadelphia fight materializes, we will believe that it is going to be held, and not before. Paddy Mullins, the Chicago Coleseum Athletic club, both of whom hold contracts for a Dempsey-Wills fight, this fall, and Jim Corbett, who holds the Sequil-Centennial fight-rights (under contract), are yet to meet and before any Dempsey-Tunney fight takes place anywhere, too. Out in Missouri all you have to do is to "show". Here in Ohio, one must "show" and PROVE! We live in Ohio, if you please. Philadelphia, Pa.—"The injunction obtained in Indiana to prevent the Dempsey-Tunney fight is but a matter of news in the Pennsylvania courts. It has no legal effect", said attorney General George W. Woodruff, Wednesday. "The Indiana courts," he continued, "did not issue an order against the issue of the association or the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission which authorized the bout. This seems to be a matter between Dempsey and the Indiana courts. If Dempsey violates the injunction he will be subject to punishment in Indiana. It will be necessary for the plaintiffs to appeal to the federal courts to bring proceedings in this state if they want to make their injunction effective." Something they are undoubtedly doing in this case is Dempsey - Tunney - Philadelphia-fight court-action is on and "the ball opened." DONAHEY AGAIN TO THE RESCUE! The Governor Gives Emmanuel Ross a Second Reprieve—Appellate Court Refuses New Trial. A reprieve until today, Sept. 18, was granted Emanuel Ross, age 18, by Gov. A. V. Donahey, late last week Friday, following a long distance telephone confirmation of the appellate court's action here in granting the youth a stay. This is the second reprieve granted the youth by the Governor within two weeks. Common Pleas Judge Silvia Orlandi ordered that Ross be Aug. 27, the date set for Ross' execution, and Gov. Donahey extended this period to two weeks. Earlier last Friday, fear that the boy might be executed during the evening, as scheduled, was expressed, following a statement from Warden P. E. Thomas, of the Ohio state penitentiary, that unless the governor formally granted a reprieve m, but the Governor allowed our second plea. Ross was convicted and sentenced for the murder, last November, of Isadore Steeck, Central Ave., confectioner, King Young, age 34, who led the 17-year-old lad into the crime, also was found guilty of the slaying and sentenced to life imprisonment! Alex H. Martin and Mrs. Pridgeon, attorneys for Ross, had attended a sing along that the boy was but seventeen the time of the murder and should have been tried in juvenile court. They have carried their appeal for a new trial to the Ohio Supreme Court. We sincerely trust it will receive it and that they will eventually win and save the youth's life. NEW STAY GIVEN BOSS: Emanuel Ross was given an added lease on life, Wednesday, as the state supreme court granted him a stay of execution to Oct. 22, in order to give his attorneys time to file an appeal for a new trial in the case of SNP Chief Judge Judes E. S. Matthias and Thomas A. Jones signed the stay and the entry permitting Ross' attorneys to take their appeal into the court. For Her Soldier Boys!

Pershing as to the bravery and honorable service of Serg. Griffin, supply company, $111th Pioneer Infantry, who bravely sacrificed his life for the cause of his country on Nov. 14, 1918.

Cleveland apprentice training schools entered a modern new home of their own for the first time, Monday, when schools opened. The training schools, conducted on a plan of apprentice training so unusual that the system is known through the World School in the Cleveland Plan, now are housed in the remodeled Eagle Grade School Building in Eagle St. The school is to be known henceforth as the Boys' Trade School. Fully Equipped. It is headed by M. D. Jones, formerly an assistant superintendent, at a salary of $4,650. He will be under direction of H. L. Briggs, director of vocational and practical arts education, of the Cleveland public school. The new building is equipped with every facility and the most modern equipment for the training of boys in the trades. The Cleveland Plan of vocational education involves complete co-operation not only with organized labor, but also with employers, open shop organizations, many individual companies, many individual employment managers or large industrial and mercantile concerns. This co-operation includes the assistance of the various trades and employers' bodies in placing apprentices in the schools and in the direction of their studies. The plan calls for instruction during working hours. Most of the apprentice students' time in the first year is put in at school and the instruction in practical work. Their time is divided equally between study and work the second year, and the third year's studies are virtually all in the shops of their employers. The apprentices are paid for their full time, whether at work or at study. The main floor of the building is built for a garage for training auto mechanics, with a ramp leading down from Eagle Ave. The floor is equipped with a machine shop and an engine laboratory. Nearly 2000 Enrolled. The first floor is devoted to a bricklayers' shop and a machine shop, schools for electricians, plasterers and carpenters, or the second floor, while on the third are schools for messengers, tailors and sheet metal workers. The first enrollment in the new school reached close to 2000. Fourteen specially trained teachers direct the courses. Assisting Director Bregg in conducting the courses are Jorge Jinft, the instructor, and Roy Rundy, foreman trainer, and Roy Rundy, foreman trainer, who conducts his classes in industrial plants throut the city.

His interests were varied. He was well-known locally, nationally Dr. W. S. Scarborough and internationally. He was an outstanding figure in Ohio politics for years and was appointed in 1921 by President Harding as Assistant in Farm Studies in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, holding this position until the year following the President's death. He lived a wide and useful life, interested in all things tending to advance the race and humanity. He was a care-taking, loving son and husband; a cultured, courteous Christian gentleman, inspiring inspiration. He was beloved by thousands of pupils whose lives he helped to form and to whom he was always known as "the students' friend". The work he did, the life he lived, as an example will not die. The influence will be felt and go infinitely far in solving the problems that face the race. 7-11 COMPANY "Watermelons", next week's diversion at the Columbia theatre, will offer one of the banner shows of the Columbia burlesque circuit, a scream of laughter, a burst of melody, nonsense and harmony from start to finish. When the assertion is made that Garland Howard, Mae Brown and Speedy Smith are the stars of this extravaganza, it is sufficient guarantee of a riot of fun and hilarity. These three well-known entertainers were seen last season in "7-11" the good taste of which still lingers in every city that this show visited. The three stars have provided themselves with entirely new gags from the jokemith's and new songs from their own sources. Jack Goldberg, the co-star has dived into the story to show a wealth of costing and harmonizing scenery. Supporting this distinguished trio is a cast that is fully capable of being each and every one a star. Their specialties, oddities and whimsicalities carry through two acts and ten big scenes. Besides there is a superior chorus of twenty-four of the fastest-stepping, lovely prancing damsels which can be corralled in a show of such big features, also very jazz and features, such as can be audited by "7-11" last year, choral numbers and ensembles without end and in every way this offering will prove as novel and diverting as any of its colorful contemporaries. Mrs. Mittle Lou Smith, age 24, 2301 Orange Ave., was sentenced to life in the Marysville reformatory by Common Pleas Judge Wolf, late Monday, after a jury found her guilty of second degree murder. She was convicted of the fatal shooting of Henry Butler, 2310 Orange Ave., in her home last June following a quarrel. DREAM NIAGARA FALLS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE SISTER, WHERE ARE YOU?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1926. "If national prosperity under Republican rule is the prime issue of the campaign to be waged from now on until November for the reelection of a majority in both houses of the Congress," the Democrats are sure to win a majority in one if not both branches. Some one ought to tell U. S. Senator Phipps of Colorado, chairman of the senatorial campaign committee, before it is too late, that the business "depression" that has been with the country for nearly three years must be changed materially for the better if our party is to elect or "re-elect a majority of both houses of the Congress". The announcement of the death of Prof. W. S. Scarborough, last week, was so unexpected that his thousands of friends, throut the country and abroad, simply were astounded! We did not know he was critically ill until a day or two before his death and even then were not expecting it. His widow, one of the finest women in America, has the heartfelt sympathy, in this hour of her great bereavement, of all of the Doctor's many friends. A quietly active life that has been of immeasurable benefit to the race has been closed and Dr. Scarborough has gone to a well-earned reward, but he will be missed for many years to come. He had carved for himself a unique position in the life of our people in this country which it is going to take a long time to fill but which will have to be filled unless we are to be the great losers. Walter White's "seething denunciation of the attitude on race relations of Christian (socalled) clergymen (white) in this country", in a recent address delivered in Detroit, ought to be repeated oftener by our public speakers. The white clergy of this country lacks real Christian courage when it comes to expressing its self publicly on important phases of matters of vital interest to our people such as the denial of our citizen rights and privileges coupled oftimes with insults and most miserable mistreatment that frequently cause even non-Christians to speak out in public protest. This most shameful and reprehensible attitude of the American clergy (white) has been most noticeable since the rise and recent general decline of that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Indeed, a number of these clergymen identified themselves with the miserable sheeted order. Let our public speakers hold them up to the righteous censure of all real Christian people, at least. SOUTHERN STATES "POWER- LESS". Northern states' legislation against lynch-murder IS effective. This is also true in the case of several border states that have anti-lynch-murder laws. In the southern states it is different because, in the case of one or two states that have any such legislation and the others, southern public sentiment favors lynch-murder. Our highly esteemed conferee of the Norfolk (Va.) Journal & Guide knows this but states it in rather too vague a way in his recent excellent editorial on "Lynchers". Southern states are "powerless to punish lynchers", for the reason stated, but northern states with anti-lynch-murder laws are not. Therefore, our contemporary is not wholly correct when it says "the state is powerless to punish lynchers". It undoubtedly means to say that the southern state is powerless to punish lynchers. For this reason, it is to be regretted that the Congress of the United States is powerless to enact an anti-lynch-murder law that the U.S. Supreme Court would not de- THE GEEVUM GIRLS clare unconstitutional because the power to legislate against the mob and lynch-murder is vested in the several states and not in the U. S. Congress. And even if the Congress had the power to so legislate, which it has not, the Democratic South's influence over the Congress with its Republican majority is always such as to bring about, in one way or another, the defeat of every anti-lynch-murder bill introduced and all that will be introduced for years to come in the future. The fate of the several Dyer bills and the most recent McKinley anti-lynch-murder bill are still fresh in the minds of all our people and are concrete illustrations of the correctness of the final statement in the foregoing. There will be no federal anti-lynch-murder law. PAT HARRISON AND POMERENE. Our readers have doubtless noticed that one of the "bigl" Democratic speakers to be brought into the state, by the Democratic state campaign committee, in behalf of Ex-U. S. Senator Pomerene is U. S. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi! This information is of particular interest to our people of Ohio at this time. Pomerene is the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator opposing Senator Frank B. Willis, our candidate for the position. Willis is our friend; Harrison and Pomerene, our enemies! It was this same Senator Pat. Harrison of Mississippi, who is to come into the state as the chief spokesman for the Democratic candidate for U. S. senator, who was the leader in the filibuster in the senate, beginning on Nov. 27, 1922, which resulted in the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. It was Senator Harrison who led the opposition, since that time, that a second time prevented the consideration of that bill. There were nine roll calls in connection with the filibuster. Every vote cast on the side of the filibuster was Democratic, including, those of Senators Harrison, King of Utah and Pomerene of Ohio, although Senator Pomerene managed to escape several votes by simply going out of the chamber. The record shows he was present, every day, during the filibuster and did nothing against it. Every vote cast against the filibuster was Republican, except one, and Senator Willis was one of those who stood by us, supporting the Dyer anti-lynching bill to the very end. Only a few weeks ago, just before the close of the last session, it was Senator Harrison who led the bitter fight against the confirmation, as a judge of the Municipal Court, in Washington, D. D., of James A. Cobb, one of our reputable citizens of this nation. Harrison fought the confirmation of Judge Cobb, not because of any question as to his ability, but simply because of his race antagonism. And this is the man that the Democrats of Ohio are bringing into the state to help elect our enemy, Pomerene, and defeat our sterling friend, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis!—the man (Harrison) who rarely opens his mouth to refer to our people but to slur and abuse us. His coming to Ohio, to participate in the campaign as a speaker or otherwise, is in its self an aggravating insult which we should be quick and unanimous to resent in every honorable way at our command. As for Senator Pomerene's candidacy, it is "out of the question", impossible, as far as our people are concerned because his votes and acts, while a member of the U. S. Senate, were against us on important matters as the Dyer anti-lynching bill and the confirmation of the President's appointment of Judge Cobb. They place him, as a candidate, "without the pale", as far as we are concerned. Tell it, to every member of the race you meet between now and election day, in November next. Dr. W. S.

Willis would one day be a United States senator." A few weeks after this article appeared, Mr. Willis was elected to the United States senate. A few days ago he file his petition of candidacy for renomination and re-election, and the natural question for the people of Ohio to ask is, "In what respect has their senior senator measured up to the demands of the very responsible position which he fills?" Here and there are men and women who differ with the senator (any senator) upon some particular measure. He would be a poor member of this body, who in the course of six years, with hundreds of bills upon which to vote, did not differ with many of his fellow citizens, as to votes from time to time. But each the fair record of indgment is upon a six-year record and the place a senator holds among his colleagues, and not upon any specific bill. The comparison which a senator from Ohio has to undergo is one of the most difficult among all the states of the Union. Among his predecessors have been such men as John Sherman, Mark Hanna, Joseph B. Foraker, Thomas Corwin, Warren G. Harding and others. Taking the record as a whole, few states have been represented through their history by men of more distance than 30 sons of Ohio. It is a well-known fact that unless a senator has the ability "to lift his head above the crowd" he does not get very far in positions of influence in the senate. MEASURES UP. How, then, does Ohio's senior senator measure up, sentiment measure Perhaps one testimonial of a venerable teacher and platform man will aid in forming a judgment. Colonel Sam Small has been in intimate touch with the situation and men in Washington since the days when he was a page in the senate at the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. Writing a few days ago for the editorial columns of the At- Courtesy Dayton, (Ohio) Journal. A. Senator Willis Signing a Part of One Days Mail Ianta, Ga., Constitution, a great Democratic daily in the south, Colonel Small said of Frank B. Willis. Senator Frank B. Willis Wins "I have personally known most of the Ohio senators from Pendleton and 'Pap Thurman' to now and I am frank to say that the Buckeye people have had in that long line no worthier son and more faithful senator." The senator's standing with his colleagues is another basis for judgment. One does not have to go far to find that Ohio stands foremost from this point of view. Senator WILLIAM CUMMER of the important committee on territories and insular possessions, one of the most important committees of the senate; in addition, he is a member of three more of these important committees, namely, foreign relations, immigration and commerce. IMPORTANT POST. Membership on the foreign relations committee is one of the most desirable and most highly sought among the committee assignments in the senate. No committee is more carefully chosen than this, and it is very seldom that a member of the senate is given membership on it during his first committee. The home office of Senator Willis came unexpectedly to Senator Willis at the end of his second year in the senate because of the recognition by Senator Lodge, the majority leader, of his wide range of information and careful judgment on foreign questions. This has been a major committee indeed, in the present session of congress, and in the past congress knows of the influence of Senator Willis on the reports it has made this year. Through the committee on commerce, Senator Willis was able to wield the strong fight he made to prevent Chicago from further diverting water from the Great Lakes to the damage of a Ohio airport. He instructed. Had Ohio not had a place on this committee, it is doubtful if this fight could have been waged at all. Legislation affecting every territorial possession of this country has been before the territories committee at this session and the record shows that every bill has been acted upon. Not all have been rejected after careful consideration, but every bill has been taken up and passed upon. Probably no other committee in the senate can duplicate this record. POPULAR MAN. As Delegate Dan Sutherland, of Alaska, expressed it, "I like to do business with this man Willis, of Ohio. We can find out where we are going when he is in charge of the business. Many times he doesn't give us what we want, but he acts upon things, and it is more important for us that a man acts one way or another than anything else. A member can be absolutely sure if a bill goes to Senator Willis, no matter what it is, that it will be acted upon within a re- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1926. Senator Frank B. Willis Wins Many Important Posts Through Record Showing Sound Action Senator Frank B. Willis Wins Many Important Posts Through Record Showing Sound Action Frank B. Willis during his five years in the United States senate has established a record of decisive action and thorough work which has won him important posts on senatorial committees, placing him today in a position equalled in influence by few senators. Senator Willis is a member of the following powerful senate branches: Chairman of the committee on territories and insular possessions, which has dealt with legislation on every territorial possession of the United States. Member of the committee on foreign relations, one of the most important committees in congress: Member of the committee on immigration, dealing with the difficult problems of America's foreign-born population and the newcomers from abroad. Member of the committee on commerce, which among other important accomplishments prevented the diverting of water from the great lakes. Member of the powerful "steering committee," which arranges the senate's program of work. Senator Willis has won distinction as a presiding officer in the senate. markably short time, considering the vast business he has to take care of." If further evidence of the senior senator's position were needed, one has but to point out that he is one of the seven members of the steering committee—the most powerful of all the committees in the senate as the viewpoint of determining in what order legislation shall be considered and what shall be considered. Senator Willis is sometimes criticized for his failure to speak oftener upon pending questions. The senator has deliberately chosen to speak comparatively few times. He believes in the prompt transaction of public business, and that much of the discussion that goes on in the senate is a waste of time and energy that might otherwise be better consumed. It is his view that, under ordinance conditions, the real facts the bill can be given, and the given, in the senate, few speeches on sides of a question and that when there has been a proper presentation of the two sides, it is idle to prolong discussion for the mere pleasure of consuming space in the Congressional Record. TALKS LITTLE And so it happens that Senator Willis, while noted throughout the nation as one of its most distinguished public speakers—who cannot accept one in twenty of the invitations extended to him to address great audiences—consumes but little time upon the floor of the senate. The few speeches he has made have won for him the approval of many of his colleagues. Senator Bob Vance was differed with him on the world court matter, but it was Senator Borah who paid Senator Willis the compliment of saying that his speech was one of the clearest in behalf of the court that was made in the senate. It was not intended to be as profound in its presentation of international law as were the speeches of Senators Walsh and Swanson, but it was intended to make clear to the people in general the issues involved, and the fact of its widespread use evidences the success of the senator's presentation. Senator Willis believes that most of the really important work on legislation is done in committees, rather than on the floor of the THE Senator Willis and Congressman Burton senate. He attends both the committees and the senate. Long-time attaches of the upper house say that probably no member in recent years has had a record for more complete attendance at the sessions than has Senator Willis. During his six-year term he has canceled many an important engagement to speak in order to be present when important votes are cast. Because it has a duty and a pleasure to present public questions to the public in their various forums, he has a very conscientious viewpoint that his first duty is to transact the business committed to him in the senate. correspondence than do members. He receives a vast of callers. The senator is still the proachable man that he fore he came to the senate membership in that body doubtedly given him some the more serious vein that upon every member who cast his vote his bus is still never too busy to most humble citizen of it. It is his delight when spare a few moments to folks some of the sold rooms of the capitol a them some insight into And one finds in "digging in" that Senator Willis has had an important part in the framing of the legislation affected by his committees. The late Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, a distinguished jurist and for many years one of the able men of the senate, paid Ohio's senior senator the compliment (after the last immigration bill was enacted) of saying that he had been a coockier to the heart of any matter before the committee and get at the essential facts more uniformly than almost any senator with whom he had worked in many years. CALLED TO CHAIR. Senator Willis also is noted as one of the most able presiding officers in the senate, and both President Coolidge, when vice president, and the present presiding officer, Vice President Dawes, have called him to the chair as often as any member of the body. The same dispatch is placed by the senator in handling of the individual requests of his constituents. The business of a senator's office, from a state like Ohio, has become almost a superhuman task. Six million people can think up and connect with their government than scarcely any one of them can imagine. More than 300 letters a day come to Senator Willis' office during a session of congress. He has a standing rule that every letter, humble or big, shall be answered within 24 hours of its receipt. Off this means long hours for the senator to answer the rule is faithfully carried out. During the month of March, 1926, an average of over 400 letters a day were answered in the senator's office, the largest number sent out for any one day being more than 2,800. In addition to this thousands of requests for information were filled. Considering the wide range of information required to answer these letters, this shows a thorough organization and careful attention to the humble request receives the same careful attention as the larger ones. Senator Willis sees personally a much larger volume of his correspondence than do most senators. He receives a vast number of callers. The senator is still the same approachable man that he was before he came to the senate. While membership in that body has undoubtedly given him somewhat of the more serious vein that it lays upon every member who devotes his attention to its business, he is still never too busy to see the most humble citizen of his state. He can spare a few moments to show to folks some of the seldom seen rooms of the capitol and give them some insight into the history of this historic building, with the details of which he is so thoroughly familiar. Senator Willis' superb physical strength stands him in good stead in the work of the senate. Contrary to the impression which many people have, there are problems in this country than the work of a senator. Not only is there a vast number of bills to which careful attention must be given, covering almost the entire range of business in the United States, but there is a multitude of call-to-action mant demand for public speaking to the voluminous mail to handle. LONG HOURS. To intelligently meet the needs of the position is a job of no small magnitude. Senator Willis reaches his office between 8 and 8:30 there, then is in committee meetings until noon; on the floor the senate until from 5 to 7 o'clock, meanwhile responding to sometimes 50 calls from the floor in an afternoon. In the evening he often returns to his office or devotes his attention to the study of the many phases of legislation before the senate. On most days it is perfectly safe to say that he works from 12 to 14 hours directly on his job. Senator Willis believes in party government and the observance of party platforms. He has consistently supported the policies of the Coolidge and that of his predecessors. Precisely speaking, the only exception being in the case of the adjusted compensation measure. Any popularity that President Coolidge has because of his economy measures is rightfully to be shared with such senators as Senator Willis, who have constantly made this policy possible through their votes in the senate. The slogan of Senator Willis "A Million Dollars a Day of Taxes Cut Away" implies the purpose of the last tax bill. Senator Willis is in constant touch with President Coolidge and many times is at the White House as often as two or three times week in conference with the pr dent on important matters. AUTO SHIPMENTS HELP RAILROADS Records Show 3,040,000 Carloads Were Transported in Year 1925. That the automotive industry was one of the large customers of the railroads during 1925 is disclosed by freight records just made public. This disclosure follows announcement that the railroads enjoyed record earnings last year. Freight carloads of automotive products hauled by the railroads in 1925 totaled 3,040,000, according to J. S. Marvin, chairman of the traffic managers conference of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. This total included shipments of motor cars and parts, gasoline used in automobiles, road-building material and kindred freight. Many other items, such as building materials and equipment for factories and garages, less than carload shipments of parts and accessories and express matter, are not included, because there is no separate classification for these. Report of Statisticians. Statisticians find that it would take all the passenger and freight locomotives and all of the various kinds of freight cars of the railroads nearly ten days to handle this business at one time; of which is another way of stating the fact that of 51,177,902 carloads of freight of all kinds handled by the railroads in 1925, more than three million carloads were induced by the manufacture and use of motor cars. The importance of this business to railroads is emphasized by comparison with the shipping of other principal commodities in 1925. Coal leads with 8,866,392 carloads, followed by forest products, 3,741,068; grain and grain products, 2,300,190; ore, 2,018,854; live stock, 1,635,252. Shipments of automobiles and parts alone during the year approximated 820,000 carloads, compared with 740,578 in 1924. Record Railroad Earnings. "The record railroad earnings coupled with the record carload shipments of motor products are significant of the co-ordinate interest of all lines of transportation," says the automobile chamber's statement. "Motor transport is one of the major customers of railroads, and more important still, it aids the rail lines in developing national resources and wealth. Just as the railroad is more economical in long-haul transportation, so in many forms of short-haul travel the motor vehicle is the most efficient." Superior Driving Rules Outlined for Closed Car With a view to familiarizing motorists with changing conditions, the American Automobile association outlines the four points for the average driver who buys a closed car: 1. Learn that you may be traveling at a higher rate of speed without realizing it, particularly where the grade is slightly downward. Speed is always a hazard when you are not aware of your actual speed. 2. Learn that physical comforts offered by the closed body in adverse weather do not alter the highway hazards. Your hands may be warm but there may be just as much lee on the road as when you formerly shivered in your open car, or stayed at home. 3. Learn that though you can see out better in your closed car than you could through rain contains the few obstructions to vision, such as the body posts, are at points you are not accustomed to. 4. Learn that other drivers in closed cars are usually as unfamiliar with the new conditions as you are, and learn that they may ways to give a bit to the "other fellow."
