LEE NAMED FOR CONGRESSMAN SPOKE MANY TIMES LAST SPRING N. FLATBUSH ON OUSTING OF SOCIALISTS IS EXPERIENCED LAWYER Mr.

Lee Made Good Impression on Civic Associations, As He Gave Clear Cut Account of Affair Warren I. Lee, Assemblyman from the 1 Assembly District has just been named as Republican candidate for Congress to succeed Congressman Frederick W. Rowe. Assemblyman Lee. has held a number of important offices in the Municipal and State Government, and was named succeed Congressman Rowe at A meeting of specially appointed committees from the three assembly districts--the Seventeenth, under leadership of Lewis M.

Swazey; the Eighteenth, under Warren Price, and the Twenty-frst, under Frederick J. H. Kracke, comprising the Sixth Congresstonal District. This vas done last Friday evening. A number of possibilities were considered by the joint committee, but the record made by Lee and his qualifications to represent the district in Congress decided committee.

All those whose claims for recognition were considered by the committee agreed that Lee would be the best possible candidate, and promised him their undivided support. Warren I. Lee of 214 Parkside avenue, Flatbush, returned to the Assembly last year after an absence of a number of years, during which time he was assistant counsel to the Public Service Commission. assistant district attorney under Judge Cropsey, and held other important posts. He has served years in the lower branch of the State Legislature.

or his record during that time the "Citizen's Union says: "He was one of the ablest and most experienced in the Legislature. After several years' he continued his former efforts in behalf of good legislation. He made an excellent voting record and was effective in bad opposing, an billerienced lawyer with offices at 233 Broadway, Manhattan. He is a graduate and trustee of Hamilton College, a member of the Union League Club Brooklyn and the University Club of New York; belongs to the Brooklyn Bar Association: Cortelyou Club; Twenty-first Assembly District Republican Club, and Kings County Lodge No. 511, F.

and A. M. Mr. Lee made a very fine impression at dressed many last civic winter, associations and at which he detailed the circumstances of the ousting five Socialists from the Legislature. His address on the subject was admirably logical, cool exact.

He told the circumstances and went over carefully and with much detail the evidence on which he based his opinion of the guilt of these men. and on which he based his vote to dismiss He indulged in no oratory about the matter, and did not say one word of his own opinion of their crimes. It was just because the address was 60 cool and colorless and sounding exactly like legal evidence, that it made an Impression. He had concluded on this evidence, which he presented to his audience, that it was his duty to vote against men who were not fitted to make laws for good Americans, he said. And he left it to his hearers to say what they would do in similar circumstances.

He was governed entirely by cool soning in the matter and not a bit by emotionalism, having finished the recital of the evidence, he made no further remark about it. He is well known and liked throughout Flatbush and his place on the ticket gives much satisfaction. The complete slate selected by the Republican forces of the three districts is 88 follows: Supreme Warren Lee; Senate, Alvah Court, Frederick S. Martyn; Congress, W.

Works Day and Night In southwestern part of New York state, the nine miles of dirt road between Dayton and Cattaraugus is in a very poor condition.

The following conversation took "Haul you out, 1 "How much do, you want?" dollars." After a long and fruitless argument the motorist was pulled to dry land. After handing over the money, he said: "Do you haul many cars out in a day?" "I have pulled out eleven today," replied the boy, with a broad you work nights too?" "Oh.

yes! At night I haul water for the mudhole."

Look in the massive medical books devoted to skin troubles exclustrely, and not a word do we find about it, unless we are canny enough to recognize it under the head of "erythema solare" or "eczema: caloricum" and even then, no mention of treatment. Can we prevent it by the use of cold cream, powder, or other aids to beauty? No. Only bonnets and high-necked bathing suits will help us, unless we follow the mother who consented to her daughter's swimming, provided she did not go near the water. As 4 matter of fact, 'the use of cold cream makes the skin more tender, and more liable to be burned. But if we remember that sunburn 10 what its name implies, viz: a burn, much can be done to relieve the pain and.
