ILLINOIS HOLDS
^PRIMARY TODAY
RACE BETWEEN GOV. LOWDEN
AND GEN. WOOD
( CLOSE.
Chicago, April 12. -Those Ropubli-
*">s of the state of Illinois who ex
ercise a voters prerogative* at the
Presidential primary tomorrow will
decide before nightfall whether their
governor, Frank O. Lowden, of Gen
eral Leonard Wood shall be their
choice for nominee of the Republican
party in the November election.
This will be the only contest of
the primary that will be decided by a
vote of the entire state. In seven
of the 25 congression districts, how
ever, the contest for district dele
gates to the Chicago convention prom
ise s to be hard fought. In these sev
en districts, candidates for delegates
who have indicated their intention
of supporting Governor Lowden, are
opposed by delegaets who are record
ed as having no preference, while in
one district, the First, no avowed
Lowden delegate i s on the list. In
the other seventeen districts, how
ever, none but Lowden men appear
on the ballot.
Contesting candidates for election
as delegates are found in the Second
Third and Fourth district#, all of
which are located in the city of Chi
cago. and the Tenth, Fifteenth. Six
teenth and Twenty-second districts',
located outside of Chicago.
There are no candidates entered
for Presidential endorsement honors
on the Democratic side. Governor Ed
ward I. Edwards, of New Jersey hav
ing withdrawn his name after it had
been properly presented.
The vote is expected to be
larger than would ordinarily be the
case in as much as the Attorney Gen
eral of the state has ruled that wo
men will be permitted to vote in the
primary.
The ballots upon which the women
will mark their votes will be separate
from tHe regular ballots. Thi K is
being done in order to make it a sim
ple matter to throw them out, in case
adverse rulings to the voting of wo
men are received after the primary.

The motorcycle by means of which

negotiate the roads which "ere made
all the worse by reason of a recent
working, and the driver after forcing

‘veterans'are'dissatisfied
Gaffney, April 12.—There is much
dissatisfaction among the Confeder
ate veterans and their friend s in
Cherokee county because of the rul
ing that the 1920 pensions will not be
available until some time in May.
Many of the gallant old soldiers are
so situated that they are badly in
^need of this money, and they feel
v that they have not been properly
treated, as they feel that much time
has already been wasted. A number
of the old soldiers said yesterday
that, owing to this delay, many of
them would be deprived from attend-
,lng the annual reunion this year.
No Time To Rock
Boat, Says Gompers
New York. April ^2.—"This is no
time lo rock the boat," said Samuel
Gompers today in a statement ad
dressed to union men. "To do so is
to play int 0 the hands of reaction
aries on the one hand and radicals
on the other, whose common object
is the destruction of the trades union
movement to which the workers of
America owe so much.
"This is the time for all union men,
who have their own best interests
and the best interests of their fellow
workers at heart, to stand loyal to
and abide by the orders of their in
ternational unions."

Ttn'lronds in Ksthonla seem in a fair
way to discard coal In favor of bitu
minous shale, a substance common
enough In geological formetlons to
make the Esthoninn experiment widely
Interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho
ninn provisional government has been
investigating the'possibilities of shale,
and, as the report comes by way of
Helsingfors, shale Is now being used
for a good many purposes. The gas
factory at RevnI, for example, is using
shale exclusively for making gas. But.
so far, shale has not been adopted
ns a fuel, and wood is being burned
in tbe fire-boxes. The factory prob
ably waits to see bow completely shale
can be used to run railway Irains.
and tbe railway factory in Koval Is
now experimenting with tire-boxes
suitable lo using shale Inn locomotive.
That It can be successfully used, how
ever, seems to have been proved. Cost
Is n strong argument for the n-e of
shale, and 3 marks for a pood, or
some HO or 40 pounds, of shale, ns
against HO marks for the same meas
ure of coni makes it very much cheap
er. It would be odd, but not impos
sible. >if later events should show that
in using shale for fuel the little-known
country of Esthonia is loading the

Children of Laon, in the devastated

each thin little youngster staggers

Under the conditions prevailing In
schools in northern France, Lincoln’s
persevering studies by the light of a
big log tire cease to be remarkable.
The back room of a cafe, the cold In
terior of n village church with the
wind whistling through apertures in
the walls made by shells, or perhaps
the one remaining room of the former
schoolhouse are the places where the
French children are studying without
books, paper or pencils through the
long, cold, dark winters of northern
France.
For blackboards the bare walls-are
used. Charcoal or bits of chalk from
the wldte cliffs of the country must |
serve as pencils. A few of the more
fortunate children have hits of slate
from some shattered roof upon which
they painfully execute their lessons.—

Famous Forest or Arden.
Ik wie Forest of Arden, near f.c*
Ion, England, the ancient custom is
still observed of holding a May day
procession, In which poo»I<* from all
the parishes surrotliidiu* the forest
take part. The scripture is afterward
read in the shade of one of the "gos
pel oaks,” which are held sacred to
this purpose. Little by little civiliza
tion is encroaching on the Forest of
Arden. Railroads have cut through
its trees, which are said once to have
been so numerous that a squirrel
could travel all over the forest vvith-
ovt touching foot to the ground.
