Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington will give his personal attention to the c tests in the Rocky mountain and P cific coast states. ‘The “dope sheet” as it was scanned by the republican senators today, showed the odds slightly favoring an increase over the present reppblican majority of two in the senate, According to their, calculations, they have eight.good chances to make gains and about an equal number of chances to sustain losses. ‘They believe, how- ever, that ff a sufficiently energetic campaign is made all of the chances to gain can be realized and that the dan- ger of losses can be overcome. 32 Senators to Be Elected. There are 32 senators to be elected North Dakota STRANGE LOVE-PSYCHOLOGY OF ELWELL ADDS TO MURDER MYSTERY WHICH HAS EMBROILED GOTHAM SOCIETY GAMBLERS this year and many of the contests are in doubtful states. The present bare majority of two has been found to make party control of the senate ex- tremely difficult and would prove even |! more so in case a republican adminis: | tration came into power. There are about a dozen progressives who are not tied very tight to party lin when legislation comes up in the senate, and there is always the danger of a bolter here and there among senators who probably will not get all they want in patronage distribution. It is the aim of the senatorial committee, therefore, to build up a republican majority, of 10 or 12 so that party control of the up- per house will be assured at all times. South Dakota Victory Sought. States in which the republicans think they have..a good chance té score gains are Kentucky, Georgia, California, Maryland, Idaho, South Da- kota, Arizona and Colorado. States now represented by republican sena-| tors who will have to fight for re-clec- tion are North Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Utah, Mis- souri, New York and Ind and IHinois must elect su Harding and Senator L, Y. Sherman. Such states are Connecticut, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Vermont are consid- ered safe by the senatorial committee. MINOT ORGANIZES DRUM CORPS FOR FUTURE PARADES Minot, June 26.—-At a meeting of the directors of the Association of Commerce J. I°. McGuire brought’ up the proposition of ‘organizing a larg? drum corps, composed entirely of business men who believe in Minot and its future, and who will always be ready to appear in parades for ‘anything that is for the benefit of the city. Mr. ‘McGuire’s idea is tc have the corps ready to as organization, rommercial or social, at any time they are putting on any cele- bration or making trips to other towns. The Minot Town Criers club set the pace a couple of years ago, but this club has so many activities that it has become quite a burden for it to a+ sume the financing of a large drum crops all alone, so that Mr. McGuire's idea will be hailed with acclaim hy the Town Criers, and it is certain that the club will assist in every way {possible to make the larger drum corps a success in every way. “BILLY” SUNDAY °° |. IS FOR HARDING Washington, June 26.—“Billy” Sun- | day pledged support to Senator Hard- ing today. In a letter to the senator the evangelist said: “I wrote to pledge “Women’ Are Fools” Was the Motto of Wealthy Whist Ex- pert and Gambler Extraordi- nary in- New.

What was the secret ef his cunning at cards, with life and with women? Elwell was a dandy, a D'Artagnan—. a dare-devil, an exotic man, a man with a great passion to live and to love. He had the gambler’s cold fear of death. " Mrs. Helen Elwell was a mere girl when she married him years ago. They had been separated for years before death. “Yes,” she said, turning her head toward the window, “1 loved him, too, when I married him—it was a swift thing—that marriage! “What did he love in me?” and she answered herself; “Inaccessibility—I was hard to run down, as they say, Didn’t Know He Wore Toupee “I liked him, he was tall and fine and handsome then. I did not know that he wore a toupee—and he had manners, and a way with him—oh, my dear,” she went on, a little catch in her voice, “Beware of those with a y’ about them—his soul was a careless thing. “Ot course I did not know at the ginning what he thought of women I did not know that it was alone my coldness that had attracted him, “But later I learned what he thought of women—what he said to himself and to me as he carefully dressed. “He would stand there, by that mir- ror—tying one tie after another—try- ing many stick pins—first a little be- low the knot, then in the center, then not at all. “Women Are Fools,” He'd Say “His little toupee—made of the finest gauze—this he would turn and turn about on his long, perfectly manicured , fingers, and he would say in an even drawling voice: ‘Women are fools—the fool is in their flesh. They hide it away, yes, and the better, the harder to find, the more exciting—I like do- ing things well, but when I’ve ac- complished a thing, then I’m lone.” ‘Then he would carefully place his hair as he wanted it and begin to pat in down, one strand laid exactly strafght upon the other.

Made Women Friends Easily ‘He was forever admiring himself, with his hand forever at the lip, kiss- ing goodby to those who had let him see that he was a great deal to them. “He made acquanitances easily and while he could be conventional, he cared nothing for conventionality. Many of his women friends he met— well, most informally. “The ideal which he certainly had was the snake woman—perhaps you would call it the vampire, I don’t know, that’s the popular word now, isn’t it? “He cared nothing for me, after the first; cared nothing for me as the mother of his son. “He loved nothing in art. He jeered me for adoring Omar Khayyam—he said it was all about drink. I said it was all about love—but he would have none of ‘it. “He was a marvellous dancer, but he cared nothing for music except to ‘ance to. He had a passion for red decorations and for rugs, but he never really loved but one thing-—gambling. Loved ‘Life Too Well To End It rae i “He loved life as no man has loved life. 1, who have seen him dress for hours, know also that he was not a man who could have killed himself— it’s too ridiculous. - “He has spent hours, -numberless hours, over some quack’s theory of life. that if he ate five raw prunes before each meal that he would live to be a hundred and fifty. He did it. “And had he killed himself.” she said, “he would not have done it with- out. wig. and without teeth. He would have done it in grand manner— he would have died ‘beautifully’ — with the scent of flowers about him, and his body made magnificent for its last repose—that the last woman to see him— whoever she was — could have seen in him-only that dandy that he made of himself for the world.” BANDIT ‘ROBBERS OF | FARM HANDS ACTIVE Sioux Falls, menced their yearly practice of riding the purpose of robbing farm hands who make their way into the state on these trains. In the past severa] murders ‘have resulted when the farm hands have resisted the holdup men.

What’s Bone Dry —What’s Not? Not every storage battery that is called “bone dry” is really shipped and _stored.in bone-dry condition. Some have solution put in ‘at the factory, and poured out again before shipment. Some are shipped with plates dry, and insulation wet. These batteries are not bone dry.
