of set speeches on specific occasions.
The republican nominee also made
It clear that there would be no delay
in opening the campaign, announcing
that he would not await the official
notification of his nomination. The
notification, he said, would not take

Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary
of the treasury, was one of his few
callers. Other callers were Senators

Montana, democrats.
The work of preparing his speech

ntler the conference with Chairman
Hays and other party leaders, now

date's interpretation of the platform."
Many Telesrama Received.
Senator Harding said he had re
eeived telegrams of congratulation
from all prominent republicans except
Senator La Follett'B of Wisconsin, who

sage from Colonel Bryan, who assured

log cabin.
Among the telegrams received to

disorganized, defeated party. They
are going to find us very much alive
in November."
Asked nis opinion of the republic
ens' selection of Warren C. Harding
as standard-bearer, he said:
"The republicans are not so well
Pleased now as they were Saturday
night. Personally I have high regard
for Senator Harding. I would do any
thing for him except vote for him." ,
As a delegate Mr. Marshall said he
would not work for a wet plank in
the democratic platform. In connec
tion with the prohibition amendment
he said:
"Nothing is so detrimental to the
country as the passage of laws and
the ignoring of those same laws."
"Presi-Ient Wilson would not want
a third term, r believe," he said. "He
could have it, though, if he de
sired it." ,
Regarding the league of nations he
was non-committaL
Questioned regarding the probable
action of the convention on the Irish
question, Mr. Marshall said:
"There is no Irish question so far as
the convention is concerned. Perhaps
3o per cent of Americans are in sym
pathy with the cause of Ireland, but
less than 1 per cent would be willing
to bear arms to help her win free
dom." ,
Mr. Marshall decried the lavish ex
penditure of money in connection with
presidential campaigns. It was "di
heartening," he said, adding that he
regretted the "republicans were not
the only guilty ones."
I am here to promote peace and
good will among the democrats at the
coming convention," he asserted.
The vice-president was accompanied
by Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Thomas
Walsh. Tomorrow the party will
leave for a two days' rest at Monte

Dempsey, world's heavyweight cham
pion, was found not guilty on a se
lective draft evasion indictment by a
jury in the United States district
court here today.
"I'm the happiest boy in the world,"
said Jack Dempsey, a moment after
the jury in Judge Maurice T. Dool
ing's court returned with the verdict
that cleared him of the charge of
seeking to evade military service by
giving false answers in his draft
questionnaire.
"It feels good to get out from, un
der a charge like that," 6aid the big
fighter. "Now I can start square and
not feel that people are thinking that
I tried to get out of doing my duty."
Ten minutes after the jury left the
courtroom today they returned with
their verdict. The end of the ease
came with startling suddenness when
rebuttal and argument were waived
and the case given to the jury so'lely
on the direct evidence. ,
Final Acts Are Rapid.

who conducted the prosecution, an
nounced that the government waived
rebuttal and opening argument. At
torney John Preston quickly followed
with announcement for the defense
that argument would be waived and
the case submitted. " 'f
Reviewing the provisions of the se
lective service act particularly ap
plicable to the Dempsey case. Judge
Dooling said:
"The question is, in its basic as
pect, whether or not Jack Dempsey
sought to evade military service by
falsely answering certain points in
the questionnaire, and whether or
not, if false statements were made,
these were made willfully and know
ingly. Other points are merely auxil
iary to this principal issue."
Jury Charge Revelation.
Referring to Dempsey's statement
in the questionnaire that his wife
had not been employed. Judge Dooling
said:
"Proof that Maxine Dempsey had
been engaged in practicing prostitu

waited to congratulate Dempsey on
his victory.

ruled out of the case and in which
she insists Dempsey made incriminat

to escape military service.

"Knock and Hand In"
Some manufacturers have built up great businesses by
"sampling" their goods.
'There are companies who contract to distribute manu
facturers' samples.
In a recent statement we read that the cost of "front
door-jamb service" ranges from $3.00 to $4.50 per 1000
and a "rear door Bervice (not knock and hand in)" ranges
from $6.00 to $7.00 per thousand.
"Knock and hand in" is much more expensive.
Magazine advertising, while not sampling the actual
goods, .does picture and describe merchandise almost as
jffectively. And the magazine enters the house on invi
tation instead "of unsolicited.
A government mail carrier furnishes the "knock and
land in." '
National advertising simply multiplies an event in one
home by millions.
Advertising 'space in the Butterick publications
is for sale through accredited advertising agencies.

Why heels wear down
like this
This condition fa not due to slovenli
ness. It is caused by a distortion of
the inner longitudinal arch and a
mis-alignment of the heel bone.
Under the weight of the body the
ankle leans inward, causing the heel to
wear down unevenly.
The frame thus becomes unbalanced,
causing strain which may affect the
foot, calf, knee, hip and spine. Pains
resulting are "often mistaken for grow
ing pains in children and sciatica, lum
bago and rheumatism in adults.
This condition can be completely over
come by counter-balancing the foot and
scientifically supporting the dislocated
bones in normal position by means of
the Wizard Lightfoot Adjustable Arch
Builders.
Beneath these all-leather Arch Build
ers and Heel Levelers ar: flapping
pockets, so located that inserts of any
desired thickness can be placed in
exactly the right spot to support the
