President Coolidge, Butler declared, is ready to conduct his fight for continuance in office along any lines or with any weapons his opponents may choose. "As matters stand," he said, "our friendly enemies desire to make this as some of them have said, a campaign based on the personality of the candidates. We will be ready. If they desire to base the election on pledges or party records, we will not be disturbed." The Republican campaign, Butler announced, will start in earnest immediately following the president's notification Aug. 14. The chairman left Washington this afternoon for Chicago, real national headquarters of the Republican party, and will not return here until the notification ceremonies. James B. Reynolds, former secretary of the Republican national committee, will head the Washington headquarters, it was announced. 200,000 DRIVEN FROM CITY OF SAO PAULO WASHINGTON, July 22.—Two hundred thousand persons have been driven from the city of Sac Paulo, Brazil, in the heaviest fighting of the revolution, an official dispatch to the state departing... 200,000 DRIVEN FROM CITY OF SAO PAULO WASHINGTON, July 22.—Two hundred thousand persons have been driven from the city of Sac Paulo, Brazil, in the heaviest fighting of the revolution, an official dispatch to the state department announced today.

NO DRY SPOT UPON SUMMIT OF WILSON PASADENA, July 22. — You can't make Manager William E. Cory, manager of the Mt. Wilson hotel, believe in all this talk of a dry spell. Mr. Cory has been boring a well on the very summit of Mt. Wilson. At 19 feet he encountered a flow of water that the hand pump could not take care of, so an electric pump was installed to allow the workers to bore deeper without water interference. The flow has increased and it may be unnecessary to bore deeper. As Mt. Wilson is 6000 feet it would appear, at least to Mr. Cory, that the whole inside of the mountain is a reservoir.

FINNISH WONDER EQUALS MARK OF U.S.TRACK STAR A Little Talk on Thrift By S.W.STRAUS (President American Society for Thrift) The good use of money and material possessions does not by any means constitute all there is to thrift. Physical conservation — health thrift — is just as important. There is always a great temptation for those who are naturally energetic and ambitious to overdue. We read recently of one America's outstanding public men who boasts almost continually, excepting for about four hours' sleep a night. While we cannot help but admire a man who can make of himself such a driving force, we know that sooner or later nature will refuse to be abused. Collapse will come. The man's usefulness will perhaps be over years before such an event would have occurred with the observance of temperate habits. The nation's loss through the illness of its citizens is prodigious. For example, we are told that the 42,000,000 gainfully employed men and women of the United States lose the labor of 1,000,000 workers each year from sickness—a loss equivalent to 300,000,000 working days annually. In other words, the time lost every year to the nation, through the sickness of its workers, is three times greater than all the working days gained annually through immigration. These millions of days of labor lost through sickness are in addition to 227,000,000 working days, which the United States Department of Labor estimates are lost annually through industrial accidents. It is impossible to check the dollars lost in wages annually thru sickness of workers, but inasmuch as the wage loss from industrial employment FINNISH WONDER EQUALS MARK OF U. S. TRACK STAR When Paavo Nurmi, great Finnish runner, captured four first places in truck events at the present Olympic games he equaled the wonderful record hung up by an American, Alvin Kraenzlein, former University of Pennsylvania star. Kraenzlein won four firsts in the games of 1900. WILL FIGHT FOR IRISH REPUBLIC DI BLIN, July 22.—Eamonn De Valera's fight for an Irish republic will be continued vigorously but constitutionally." The Irish republican leader, just out of a free state jail, made this announcement of his future course in the first public address since his arrest several months ago. "I reject the oath of allegiance, but I will stand for the constitution," De Valera declared. "The rebels of Ireland are those who stand against the republic." Underwriters Meet LOS ANGELES, July 22.—With 3000 delegates from all parts of the country in attendance, the 25th annual national convention of the Life Univerwriters' Ass'n was opened here today. Sessions will end Friday. The initial session was marked with the announcement that Kansas City had been selected as the 1925 convention city. Carry Out Wedding LONDON, July 22.—The wedding of the daughter of Sir William Herdman, who was found dead under mysterious circumstances, will be carried out as planned, it was announced today. HEAVY REALIZING IN STOCKS TODAY NEW YORK, July 22.—Heavy realizing sales proved to be the chief handicap to higher prices in the stock market today. Profit-taking was particularly apparent in the industrial stocks which have featured an almost uninterrupted rise in prices over the last few weeks, but did not extend to the rails. The carrier stocks seemed well able to hold all of their new gains, while the copper, and later the oils, staged a new forward movement of their own. Copper metal was marked up another "eighth" today and quoted prices for domestic shipments of red metal was 12 3-4 cents a pound. Surplus stocks in this country have been reduced to about one month's consumption and world consumption in the last 10 months is 50 per cent greater than the pre-war peak. A brisk rally in some of the leading oil stocks, under the leadership of the Pan-Americans brot oil shares to a higher level. Oil stocks failed to follow thru the sharp upward movement in prices at the previous close. Sterling exchange; with an advance of 2 3-4 to a new high for the year at 441.1-4, was a factor of great importance in the financial district. Cotton prices were higher, tho the margin of gains was smaller than in yesterday's sensational session. Wheat and corn lost on profit taking in much the same manner as industrial stocks. Strength in traction issues featured the listed bond market, the bonds of the copper companies were strong and active; foreign government issues were steady and Liberty bonds mixed. LOS ANGELES POTATOES CHAPMAN TELLS OF CONVENTION The story of the Republican convention at Cleveland was told by an eyewitness here today, when C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, delegate at large, addressed the local Kiwanians at their weekly lunch-eon. Chapman said he used to be a preacher in Anaheim many years ago and felt some pride in the city's progress. The Republican convention was a quiet affair, very different from the one in which efforts to nominate Grant for a third term were made and at which he also had been a delegate. There were some 1,200 delegates, seated in a hall which when completed would seat 12,000 to 15,000. The hall already had cost $6,500,000. The speaker told of Theodore Burton's being escorted to the platform as temporary chairman before he had been elected. Then they elected him to the office. The Wisconsin delegation was "razed" unmercifully for its unchanged opposition to Coolidge. The delegates finally surrounded them and ridiculed them heartily. President Roscoe B. Young, former Wisconsin man, said the whole state shouldn't be judged by the LaFollette Republicans. Coolidge was nominated by 1,060 votes, tho he didn't need more than 555. The scene at the nomination was riotous, according to Chapman. Dignified men well along in years lost their heads and shouted like mad. You could see the band playing, but couldn't hear a sound, said the Fullerton man. Net day, when nominations for vice-president came in, he found some strong negro backing from a group of delegates who had been instructed from the first by their constituents to cast their ballots. of great importance in the financial district. Cotton prices were higher, tho the margin of gains was smaller than in yesterday's sensational session. Wheat and corn lost on profit taking in much the same manner as industrial stocks.

Coolidge was nominated by 1,060 votes, tho he didn't need more than 555. The scene at the nomination was riotous, according to Chapman. Dignified men well along in years lost their heads and shouted like mad. You could see the band playing, but couldn't hear a sound, said the Fullerton man. Net day, when nominations for vice-president came in, he found some strong negro backing from a group of delegates who had been instructed from the first by their constituents to cast their ballots for him. He had told his fellow delegates that he wouldn't under any circumstances run and several others declined after being nominated. Finally Dawes happened to be voted by three different state delegations, and the rest at once fell into line. Cleveland was to have presented a $20,000 firework spectacle, but a rainstorm drenched the "wreks" and prevented the show, something that couldn't have happened in California. The Kiwanians were asked at today's luncheon to give the Boy Scouts any Victor or Bruswick graphophone records they could spare to be used at the summer camp Ro-ki-li. The report of Mobilization Day will be presented at the next meeting, the committee announced. RE-OPEN BORDER NOGALES, Ariz., July 22.—Closed to night traffic for the past two weeks under orders from Washington, all ports of entry on the Arizona-Mexico international boundary line, will be re-opened tonight under new instructions received here today.

Johnson indicated upon his arrival here today from Washington that he would issue a statement in the near future outlining his stand on national issues.

Patrol boats that will mark the ocean course have not all reached the posts and the final arrangements by the government are all that is now delaying the start of the flight.
