ECONlSTlDS PR0IECMI1IFF Former Secretary of Treasury Shaw Outlines Merits to City Club. Lauding the merits of protective tariff and attributing all prosperity enjoyed by the United States to the policies of the republican party. Dr. Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the Treasury, replied to democratic claims presented at the previous week's meeting In an address to members of the City Club forum at Its weekly luncheon in the City Club-yesterday. Introduced by James T. Lloyd, democrat, chairman, as one of the most noted economists and lecturers in the country, "but whose doctrines ixcd not necessarily be correct," the Iowa statesman straightway launched forth a long list of notable achievements of his party and presented his arguments in such a convincing manner that at the end of his talk there were i none with the temerity to take advantage of his invitation to be quizzed. Aid to Industry. Dr. Shaw said the republican party was one of greater statesmanship ] than any of its opponents, a party I that fostered industry, rather than I fathering it, and declared that aside j from the federal reserve system, i "which in reality was the outgrowth of the Aldrich bill," he would be glad | to hear of one industry that had been ! created by the democratic party. "There is a great difference between ! fostering industry and fathering in- | dustry," he declared. "When Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that g overnments were j instituted to secure the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness he did not mean, I take it, that it was the government's duty to provide I houses for the people, but to protect them in their rights, either to obtain j houses or to sleep in the parks. Would Keep Government Out. "The inalienable right of the pursuit of happiness means just this to me?that inasmuch as real happiness comes only from creating the protection of that right, the protection of individual opportunity to build railroads, factories, homes; to raise cattle. corn or cotton, and whenever the government steps in and attempts i to do these things, it is destroying* | this inalienable right. It is the republican party wnich protects this I right. If I were President I would ' veto every bill that came before me putting the government into business. "That government is best which fosters industry most. That is our case in a nutshell. If you ever hear of any industry which was built up under democratic protection, I would like to hear about it. I Praises Protective Tariff. The speaker said that one of the greatest means of fostering industry j is a protective tariff. "The republican j party stands squarely on this princi- i pie; that tariffs should be high enough to keep out of this country any article that Americans can make or grow themselves. And this is the only policy which will keep American labor employed to full capacity." Continuing, Dr. Shaw said that on such a full employment rests the question of whether this nation will endure. "as even Washington dared hope. When this administration came into po\.er in 1920, 5,000.000 men were out of work. Should that number ever reach 10.000.0uu America s nope or perpetuity as a nation must end. Bay More Under Tariff. "The opponents of high tariff wails say they raise prices, yet it is a fact that we have always imported more goods per capita under high tariffs than under low ones. A high tariff makes the nation so prosperous that it can afford to buy things abroad that are not made in this country." The speaker was given a rising vote of thanks at the conclusion of his address, and the entire assembly sang "America" in observance of Patriotic day. WOMAN'S CLUB IN DRIVE. Mrs. Bradley's Team Ahead In Membership Campaign. With the team captained by Mrs. j Laura Bradley In the lead, the second week of the membership drive of the Woman's City Club Is now under way.

Coal Oil Found Efficient Remedy For Snake Bites Science discovered many things by accident?the synthetlo prooess for making rubber, for Instance. But a friend of Dean Swift of 303 7th street northwest discovered what he claims Is a simple and certain remedy for poisonouB snake bites?which also was found by accident, Mr. Switf's Interest was attracted by a newspaper article stating that scientists were at work on a BArnm thA.t ivaa nalrttiln taH tn counteract the subtle poisons, found In the fangs of snakes. Bo he wrote the following letter: "I have just learned of a very simple and effective remedy. Last year a school child was bitten by a copperhead in Oklahoma, As the teacher had nothing else but coal oil, that was applied to the bite and proved a quick and complete cure. I also have a friend whose dog was bitten by a copperhead and coal oil was applied with the same result. "It Is well known that coal oil is a powerful germ destroyer, and It, therefore, seems only natural that It " should - be an effective remedy In destroying the germs of snake poison," ILLINOIS VOTERS URGED MASTER Intricate State Law Emphasized at Republican Headquarters. Because of certain intricate features of the registration and voting laws of Illinois citizens of that state residing In the District are today urged to call at the local republican headquarters, 1338 G street, for advice and instruction. Inasmuch as October 16 is the last registration day for absent voters of that state local leaders are making an effort to Impress the Importance of giving immediate attention to the registration requirements if they wish to cast their ballot on November 7. Regulations In Cities. Illinois workers at the local head quarters call attention to the fact that there are six or eight cities in their state, all in counties other than Cook, that operate under the so-called election commissioners law which requires the absent voter personally to apply in writing to the clerk of the election commission for the special registration blank form which must be tilled in and sworn to and which must be in the hands of the election commission not later than October 16. Chicago operates under a similar law. Absent voters of that city must i personally apply in writing to the election commission of that city for the necessary registration blank. After the registration has been complied witTi it then is necessary for the absentee voter to apply personally for a blank ballot to be used in voting. An Individual Matter. In other words, registration and voting in Chicago and the other sections operating under the election commission law is an individual matter. However, under the general election law of the state registration is effected by the voter whose home is in a territory operating under the general election law asking his or her county clerk for the absentee voter's ballot to be voted in the election. I The headquarters are open day and night and a large force of workers is j on hand to explain any of the complexities of the registration and vot| ing laws. COURT FIGHT OVER HOTEL GORDON ANNEX RESUMED juixigaxion, jnuaixea oy insaunjr ui Mrs. Elizabeth Frail, Revived by Her Committee.

Named as defendants in the new suit are Jennie M. Prall, Annie M. Fahnestock, Emma C. Knorr, Gladys E. Lazagnlno and a number of trustees. The property was sold last year for $57,500, but the action of the appellate court vacates this sale. In the suit filed today Mr. Imlay shows the taxes on the property, unpaid for many years, now aggregate $22,000.
