SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1920 As To Senator Harding The surprise of the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding is be- ginning to turn to interest in what the man represents,what ke has done, what sort or qualifications he has for the discharge of the duties of 'the president of the United States. Although the public has had more or less acquaintance with the name of the senator from Ohio, exact facts have not been fixed in mind and a real appreciation of the significance of the choice of the republican con- vention is rather too generally lack- ing. The following excerpt from an open letter from Frank A. Munsey, owner and publisher of a string of news- in that it throws a little light upon the career of Senator Harding and outlines in a general way the charac- ter of the man into whose hands the been placed and, perhaps, that of the whole nation, after the campaign shall have been fought out and the election returns made known. Mr. Munsey says: the farm, through childhood, young manhood ; seeing him as a printer at the case after he had finished his education ; seeing him as the venture- some young editor-owner of a small country newspaper--daring to put himself to the test in one of the most difficult of all fields of endeavor and winning success; seeing that small country newspaper grow under his' wise and vigorous handling into a prosperous and influential journal that has made him financially inde- pendent; seeing him as a representa- tive and later as a senator in the hot. papers and magazines, is interesting) ) destiny of the republican party hasf "following nim all the way up from | president. It is clear that he could never have had the indorsement of his fellow senators for the great office of president if he were not equal to the job." Hot Weather Hints Hot weather hints are certainly timely. Advice about food and daily habits of living is entirely to the point. It is well for the human being to remember that the human body is constructed much after the plan of any power machine. It requires fuel to run it and best results are obtained only when the proportion of fuel is governed by the-amount of work that is being done. : Food in the summer should be care- fully considered. There should be enough to maintain efficiency but none to be left over to keep the body We need no storage of fat to keep us comfortable and fat is the natural result of a consumption of food beyond the needs of the body for the energy that is required to maintain its functions and to per- form the work that has to be done. Nature has provided the green vegetables and a distaste for the heavy and heating foods. It is the wise man or woman who heeds the warning and accepts the provisions that have been made for our com- fort. NOT INTERESTED Property owners along Euclid ave- nue advised the village council Tues- day evening of their unwillingness to pay for proposed paving of the short length of the street between Win- netka and Glencoe. This portion of the street, they contended, benefits only through traffic and is of no particular value to the property owners. The proposition of paving was postponed by the council.

Men | do not pick up records of this sort in the street. They do not come by accident. There is merit in the man who achieves as Senator Harding has achieved. "Senator Harding is not a genius. If he were a genius he wouldn't be level headed. Geniuses are never level headed. He is, however, better than a genius for an administrative job, because he is a practical man of common sense. "So far Senator Harding has not] startled the world by anything he| has done or said in the United States | Senate. He has made a fine record in| that body as a sound, safe man, who | thinks well, talks well and has the | | | courage of his convictions.

This purpose governs the design of each feature and the methods by which all features are related to each other. Inspect the deep frame, the sturdy axles, the efficient engine, the well-knit body, and note how these carry out this policy. Note that strength is placed where strength is needed, and that weight is eliminated wherever it is superfluous and a hindrance. Note that the combination of high power and scientific lightweight construction pro- duces exceptional transportation at low cost. For these reasons the Oakland Sedan, now mounted on a stronger chassis of longer wheelbase, more than ever is a good car to own because it is a good car to use.
