These two fellows are not mad at each otherâ€"even if one of them is wielding a business-like looking meat cutter. They're all dolled up and doing the Indoâ€"Chinese “Dance of Loyalty to the King." And there’s action every minute, the photog- rapherâ€"who took the picture in front of the ancient temple at Onker Wat, Cambodia, Indoâ€"Chinaâ€"wrote us. How’s This For a Thrilling Experience? NOW that the presidential race has reached the “home stretch” in the United Statesâ€"with election day a month awayâ€"the Democratic campaign managers are voicing their opinions louder than ever that “thisis their year to win!” You don’t even have to ask themâ€"they’ll tell you that the gentleman at the left above, Mr. John W. Davis, will be in the White House next year. And, the kindly, intellectual-looking individual at the right, Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, will be presid- ing over the Sehate as vice-president . This rather interesting. picture of the Democratic nominees was made at a private conference between the pair at the -Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The genial look on their 'countenances â€" and as subsequent incidents have shownâ€"shows that they are fully in accord with each other on what this country needs and what it does not need. They’re patiently awaiting the eventful dayâ€"November 4. LITTLE did Raymond Mays, driving a Bugatti racing car at the recent hill climbing tests held by the South Wales Auto club near Cardiff, England, expect to get such a sensation as the one pictured above. But it happened, all right, all right-â€" one of those freak accidents that are apt to come up in any motor sport event. And, our enterprising ' photographerâ€" snooping around for some exciting scenesâ€"was lucky enough to have the shutter of his camera open when May’s car threw the wheel. This remarkable photograph was the result and the spectators didn’t realize it for a few seconds. Mays was travelling along at sixty miles an hour when the back ale brokeâ€"e fine time for it to break, tooâ€"end the tilted wheel was W off the hub and sent flying into the eir. The car fortunately kept the road and [eye was eble to flop without meeting injury.

LaFolletteâ€"affectionately termed by his followers as “Battling Bob"â€"the Independentâ€"Progressive Party candidate for United States presidential honors. And he too. sees naught but victory ahead for himself in the November elections. An avowed enemy of what he terms “vested rights and special privilege” “Battling Bob” is busily stump- ing the country in a final effort to rally voters to his standard. With the American Federation of Labor backing him, it is said, he will very likely make a strong bid for the president's office when the votes are counted. At least, his campaign leaders, believe he has as good a chance as either of his worthy Opponents John W. Davis or Calvin Coolidge. As the skeptical fellow saysâ€"“We shall see what we shall see.” OUTSIDE of the California Redwoods, this gigantic Juniper treeâ€"recently discovered near Logan, Utahâ€"is said to be the oldest living object on this hemisphere. Experts, who have examined it, say it is, at least, 3,000 years oldâ€"with the more probable correct figures at 6,000. Ordinarily, Juniper trees never grow with trunks more than six or seven feet around. But this one, as the party is indicating in thispic- ture, measured twenty-eight feet in circumference. ‘Tis truly, the Patriarch of trees. , Thirty Centuries Old Natives of N ieue, formerly known as Savage Island of the Samoa group in the Pacific, used to idolize this Odd looking wooden__£izuroâ€"â€" known as Limaua, a “g ” believed to control ocean currents near the island. Likewise, until the mission- aries came, they used to make of- ferings to it from every catch of fish. Dr. E. M. Loeb, formerly of the faculty at the University of California, picked up this idol while on a visit to Nieue. He de- scribes it as followsâ€"“It has a curly beard of human hair, a ‘grasa’ skirtandataahat. Itwasfesâ€" tooned with ite shells. And the body was carved from some ex- tremely dark wood.” THERE ARE MANY BEAUTIES in the Far East “Land of the RFising Sun" but none more charming and beautiful than the Princess Tomoko Kuni, sister of, the Crown Princess of Japan. Her wonderful features and grace attract attention wherever she goes and she is immensely popular with her people. The above photo of her was taken in Tokyo recently. when she .and her husband spent some time at PROPHESIES, handed the press from the various uepubu- can campaign camps throughout the country. runs. along about the same line. “It's all cut and dried. Cal Wlu win in a walk" they say. And. satisfied that there’s not a question of doubt about it. the campaign managers are content to sit back and wait the mere formality of voters going to the polls on November 4 to confirm those predictions. The Republican leaders point to President Coolidge's activities in office since the death of the late Warren D. Harding as positive proof that he is not only capable of filling that esteemed position but that he has actually won the approval of all citizens. In his acceptance speech, he left no issue untouched and stated definitely then and since then, just where he stood on import- ant questions of the day. And. his backers say, the judgment of the American pe0ple will put him back in office. The above photo shows the president with his campaign manager, William M. Butler; and his running mate, Charles Dawes, Republican candidate for the vice-presidency. The picture was snapped after one of their many conferences of the cam- paign. Royal Japanese Beauty from the various Republi- m. Out-hr a. 1m "it w. c’.‘ mxnnmc, n: ' Oflicc. over .l. 6; .I Hump ‘nurhnm. “Marlo. .anm, D. D. S. L. or (naduato I when” Graduate [My 3.
