Mr Churchill at Drill Hall
Seldom if ever in the political annals of Dundee has there been such a gathering as that which assembled in the Drill Hall last night to hear Mr Winston Churchill open his electioneering campaign. Had the hall been as large again its capacity would have been taxed to accommodate all those who sought admission. Thousands were turned away. Arrangements were made for seating 2000 persons. By 7pm the space thus set apart was fully occupied and outside the Drill Yard Square was thronged.
Later when the central doors were opened, the standing room, the limits of which were greatly encroached upon, was in a few minutes occupied to the full. In all over 5000 persons were present.
Street Stumping
Those who listened to the Suffragettes at their outdoor meetings yesterday had fun along with politics. At the gate of Carmichael's Foundry, Miss Maloney delivered an address in the course of which she said the women had long enough done the dirty work at elections. It was, indeed, dirty work to go canvassing and have to kiss all the dirty smudgy babies (great laughter). They now wished for the clean work, which was the vote.
A man in the crowd proposed a vote of thanks and while pleased enough, Miss Maloney said it was not so much thanks as votes against the Government they wanted.
Newport Holidaymakers
Holidaymakers on Monday were favoured with splendid weather. Close on 8000 persons visited the burgh of Newport and the Tay Ferries' officials spent a strenuous day. Waterston Park was as usual the spot favoured by nearly all the picnic parties. Many Newportonians took advantage of the special railway facilities.
In the afternoon a contingent of Boys Brigade visitied St Andrews.

When Shoes are Muddy...
Shoes when muddy and wet may be greatly preserves by the use of vaseline. Rub the shoes well with a soft cloth, after all the mud had been carefully removed, saturate a cloth with vaseline and rub it well into the shoes, place them on boot trees or stuff with newspaper, leaving them for twenty four hours. Then give then another dressing and rubbing and the shoes will appear equal to new.
