MAN JAILED FOR ABDUCTING GIRL
Although her alleged abductor is in custody, Ida Cortez, 23, of El Modena, was still missing today following her disappearance from her home last Friday. Sheriff Sam Jerrigan admitted today. The girl's whereabouts are a mystery and Bastista Cortez, 24, who is held on a charge of abducting her, can give no information concerning her, the sheriff said.
Cortez, who is said to be no relation to the girl he is accused of abducting, was arrested late yesterday at El Modena, where he had returned, it was said, after taking the girl away.

STOCK MARKET UNUSUALLY DULL
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Though prices of speculative stocks were inclined slightly higher today, the market was unusually dull and featureless, as were the other major financial markets. The bond market lacked a definite trend, a tenor was inactive and grain markets were featured principally by the strength of corn in Chicago.
This spur was soon over and the whole market turned dull and featureless holding steadily at current price levels on the strength of the approval of the ratification of the Nickel Plate merger terms by the directors of the Erie Railroad. Nickel Plate sold up 3 points in the early trading and Pere Marquette and other merger stocks were strong. Central and Southern Railway also were prominent gainers.
Steel stocks were inclined to respond to the improving prospects for the industry as evidenced of the expansion of steel production in interior points.
Chandler Motors precipitate drop to 41 for a loss of more than three points for today and 10 points from the high of last week was without special effect in the market, the reactionary tendencies were in evidence throughout the speculative list.
Stock sales today 707,000 shares; bonds $10,766,000.

Plain Dealer Golf School
By A. D. WALKER, Professional at Anaheim Public Golf Course
Today the Plain Dealer presents to its golfing readers and those who contemplate taking up this fascinating ancient game, the first of a series of lessons thru arrangement with A. D. Walker, professional at the Anaheim Public Golf Course on North Citron street.
Mr. Walker is one of the best qualified golf instructors in the state, having followed in the footsteps of his father in Scotland and learned golf from a caddy boy to professional, which latter post he has filled for many years on both sides of the big pond.
In addition to the lessons an intelligence department will be conducted. Any questions regarding golf or the rules of golf will be answered in the golf column.
$10,000,000 GEMS SHOWN JEWELERS
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26. — More riches than those of ancient King Croesus were on display here today in a treasure chamber whose glory radiated from chestfuls of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubles and pearls.
In addition to basketfuls of precious gems, there were enough platinum and gold to ransom several kings.
The entire treasure, conservatively valued at $10,000,000, was being displayed by 250 exhibitors from all sections of the world at the opening of the 19th annual convention at the Hotel Statler of the American National Retail Jeweler's Ass'n.
Elaborate preparations to protect the precious exhibit from bandits and crooks have been taken. Special police squads have been stationed about the treasury.
Questions should be addressed to the Golf Editor, Plain Dealer.
GOLF LESSON No. 1
Teeing the Ball
Tee the ball with the sand from the tee box not any higher than the depth of the face of the club head. If you tee a ball on a high tee don't imagine you will hit it easier. The idea is wrong. The higher you tee the ball surer you are to knock the ball down off the tee. The lower or the smaller the tee is the better the head takes care of lifting the ball in the air. When you ground your club head behind the ball you are resting the club head on the ground, in the exact position the club head must meet the ball.

The Yankees stayed in the lead by trouncing Cleveland, 8 to 3. Ruth got his 40th homer.

Sport Snaps by JACK KEENE
Nemo Leibold has not only defied Dad Time for many years but he has given the lie to those who said his size would handicap and shorten his big league career.
The midget outfielder, who has drawn considerable attention by his brilliant hitting for the Washington Senators at intervals, is one of the smallest men in the game. He stands but 5 feet 6½ inches tall.
He made a name for himself in the Milwaukee outfield back in 1911 and 1912. A number of big league scouts looked him over. They admired his play with the A.A team but their report included an expressed doubt that he could stand the grind in the big show. The Cleveland club ivory hunters decided to take a chance on him and the club bosses took the same chance. After three years—fairly busy ones—they asked for wailers on him, however, and the White Sox claimed him.
For five campaigns Leibold served the Sox gardens and rendered fair service—even brilliant service at times. Then he was traded to the Red Sox with John Colling for Harry Hooper, partly flight and therefore place for the office

YOUNG STRIBLING SUFFERS BAD COLD
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Young Stribling and Paul Berlenbach, who meet in a six-round decision bout at the New York Velodrome tomorrow night, were winding up training activities here today.
Stribbling appeared worn out from his auto drive here from Saratoga and was suffering from a cold. Berlenbach was in splendid condition.
Both fighters are down to 168 pounds.

A Little Talk on Thrift
By S. W. STRAUS
(President American Society for Thrift)
It is well to bear in mind that one of the greatest sources of human happiness is work. And this is a truth that could be more widely learned to advantage.
Too many follow the rule that the more work they can avoid the greater will be their happiness.
There is no true happiness in an idle life. Waste of time is a form of thriftlessness that is as destructive of rightful pleasure as waste of money or waste of health.
Work alone brings happiness, because work is creative and upbuilding.
All the instincts of the human race which have been realized for humanity's development have found their fulfillment only in work.
In every realm of man's activities, whether it be spiritual, mental or physical, human experience has shown that progress alone has come through work.
This does not mean that there is no rightful place in life for play, or that diversion is not in accordance with good thrift. It is a matter of common sense, that life cannot be made up entirely of labor. There would be little if any progress in a material way under such condition, and, in the finer things of life, there would be absence of all devolpment.
You cannot transform a man into a machine and get human results. But, within the average routine of life, work brings the most satisfying happiness—work that is right, upholding and helpful.
Do not allow am ambition for idleness to spring up in your heart. Wasting time, never, under any circumstance, can bring lasting joy. It is not dissimilar to every other unthrifty practice.
Happiness through work is one of the fundamentals that can be continually counted on. It is a splendid type of true, constructive thrift.
Jensen's friends here are very proud of him and are behind him to a man.

WHERE TO END FLIGHT PUZZLE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—The hop of the American round-the-world fliers from Greenland to Indian Harbor, Labrador, will be delayed until Thursday, Aug. 28, according to a dispatch today from Lieut. Lowell Smith to the chief of the air service.
Smith said that the work of putting the planes in first-class condition for the flight to the American continent was proceeding rapidly. There was no explanation of the decision to hold up the flight for another day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—The war department is in something of a quandary as to where the round-the-world flight of Lieutenants Lowell Smith, Erick Nelson and Leigh Wade is going to end, it was learned today.
The question to be solved is whether the flight will end officially at Seattle, or at Santa Monica, Calif.
Settlement of the question likewise will be decided whether the flight officially started at Seattle or at the California beach resort.
Altho reluctant to discuss the matter, war department officials admit that no official decision has as yet been reached regarding the final terminus of the flight. It is understood, however, that the army service regards Seattle as the official starting point of the flight and therefore the logical place for the official finish.
Because of the delays encountered in Iceland, it is known that the army air service and the aviators themselves are anxious to end the flight in the shortest possible time. If this desire prevails it is probable that the returning aviators will fly across the United States to Salt Lake City and then turn northward, flying from Utah metropolis to Eugene, Ore., and thence direct to Seattle.

CATCHY SLOGAN TO BRING OUT VOTE
"The food your husband eats does not feed you. When he votes, can he vote for two?"
This is a sample of the Get-Out-the-Vote slogans which will be written on blackboards at county fairs in the state this summer by members of the Minnesota League of Women Voters.
The state office of the league is sending out a list of suggestive slogans to league workers throughout the state. The slogans are to be written on the blackboards and erased to attract the attention of fair crowds to the importance of voting at the November elections. This is part of the league's Get-Out-the-Vote campaign in the state.
Other of the suggested slogans are:
"The man or woman who fails to vote is as guilty as the guard who sleeps on duty."
"Longfellow said 'Home-keeping hearts are happiest.' He died before the taxes went up."
County fair booths will be decorated in red, white and blue and will be supplied with information about the number of votes cast in every county at the presidential election in 1920.

FACING PRISON ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
It was the happiest day of her life! She has just promised to become the wife of the man of her heart. First to hear the news must be her father. Two steps at a time she rushes up stairs to her daddy's room to share her happiness with him.
Brimming with joy she rushes into the room and just in time—a second later and her father would have been dead—a suicide—a victim of his own cowardice.
She knocks—the revolver from his grasp, and a broken spirited man cringes and sobs out his sorrow. He is on the brink of ruin—he is disowned—a friend's money entrusted to him has been inappropriated—spent by the father that his daughter might obtain the education and training befitting her social station.
The father is desperate. The girl must be "sold" in marriage—that is the only way by which the father can recuperate his finances—the only way he can keep from prison.
The girl is only too keenly aware that the man of her heart is virtually penniless and she knows that she must make a quick decision. Shall she agree to sell herself or shall she allow her father to go to prison—or perhaps worse—allow him to die, a suicide?
This is the problem which faced Eleanor Bates in Earl Hudson's "For Sale," a First National picture now on the screen at the California theatre, a dramatic society play, featuring Claire Windsor, Adolphe Menjou, Robert Ellis, Mary Carr and other prominent screen players.
Will Rogers in his latest comedy, "Big Moments in Little Pictures," is also on the same bill and is replete with laughter from start to finish.

VALENTINO COMING TO CALIFORNIA
The Valentino fans are soon to have their inning.

The romantic background of this story is the gorgeous court of Louis XV, famous for the standards of etiquette and fashion that it set but infamous for its vice and love affairs. Something unusual in the way of costumes and settings may be expected in view of the fact that historical accuracy is a feature of this colorful photoplay.
Briefly told, the story revolves around the attractive Duke de Chartres, who refuses to marry the charming Princess de Bourbon-Conti at the royal command. To escape the wrath of the King of France, the notorious Louis XV, he flees to England. There masquerading as a barber, he meets and captivates the beautiful Lady Mary, only to have her turn against him, when she finds he is an impostor. Forgiven by the King, he returns to France and the Princess whom he realizes he really loves.
