Several speeches were made by the differ- ent workers of the suffrage move- ment. They also elected dele- gates to send out to different places to boost for Miss Gaar 'I urner, who is running for Repre- sentative of this district on the Republican ticket in the coming election. The following were elected: Willia Pack, Ethel Logs- don, Nelle Lucas, Lucy Cutshall and Gladys Brown. After the meeting the Suffraget- tes led by Miss Turner and Anna O'Dowd, Mayor of Turner, Ind. marched west on National Ave., carrying large banners which bore the inscription of Votes for Women and Vote for Gaar Turner. At the corner of Meridian and National Ave., a large crowd had gathered and here the parade stopped and Mayor O'Dowd gave a speech telling Miss Turner's platform. The crowd seemed very much impressed by this speech and it seems as though Miss Turner has a fair chance for the election. School opens next week. The enrollment will be larger then ever.

BRAZIL DAILY NEXVS, SEPTEMBER 1, 1925. New Basketball Coach For Brown. Brown College has closed a con- tract with John C. Fast to coach their next year's basketball team. Fast comes well recommended. He has had considerable exper- ience, playing one year of high school ball in Brazil, four years of college ball with Indiana Dentals, and since his graduation from that institution has been coaching a fast semi-pro team in Chicago. By the employment of Fast the Athletic Board of Control hopes to change the usual program of defeats into victories for Brown. Here is Some Bowler.

He broke all records Thursday night when for four games he averaged 294. His games were 300, 296, 292 and 288 for the evening. His average for the week is 286. Noted Speaker Coming Dr. Uzzie Phillips, B. A. P. D. Q. B. C. M., will give his famous lecture, The World in a Nut- shell at the Chautauqua this summer. Dr. Phillip's lecture is said to be very entertaining be- cause of its dry humor. We are sure the people will be pleased to hear Dr. Phillips again as he is well known here, having formerly been pastor of the United Brethern Church of this city. Track Record Lowered ln the I. A. U. track meet held at Harmony last week, Will Pick- ett, running under Harmony University colors, ran the 100 yard dash in 972 seconds. The former record was 93A seconds.
