(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Hoover and Smith California’s rousing endorsement of Gov. ‘Alfred Smith places him well out in the front of all contenders for the Democratic nomina- tion. Seasoned political writers of Washington are predicting that Hoover will be nominated on the first ballot at Kansas City. Hoover’s nomination may not be entirely settled at present writing, it is hard to conceive how the Democrats can nominate anyone but the popular and wet governor of the Empire State. Tacitly at least then the issue may be between Hoover, a dry, and Smith, a pronounced wet. Even though the platforms of both parties may ‘be silent on a most disturbing national issue, with Hoover and Smith the opposing candidates, the prohibition issue will ruffle both parties despite any efforts to side-step or soft pedal it. Hoover is being accepted reluctantly in Re- publican circles as the heir apparent of the Cool- idge regime, There is no particular enthusiasm for the Secretary of Commerce. He has little - or no popular strength in the great agricultural areas of the nation. There is a well defined feeling partially justified that Hoover was re- eeegeaers gts s Fe egeee Senator Thomas J.

Enthusiasm for Hoover is lacking because it is felt that he lacks the magnetism which makes Smith more or less a popular figure with voters of both parties throughout the East. Those who have traveled in the East recently frankly state that it is a question whether Hoover can carry that section against Smith. Hoover’s candidacy at present writing may have a strong endorsement as far as delegate strength is concerned but there are many astute Repub- licans who regard Lowden or Dawes as much better timber; more progressive; more likely to satisfy the middle West than Hoover. The great success of Smith in attracting such rousing support within his own party in the pre- convention contests may result in revamping the Republican slate and the substitution of a more progressive type of candidate than Hoover. Developments of the next few weeks are go- ing to be most interesting. Republicans solicit- ous over success in the next campaign are not regarding Hoover as the best opponent for Governor Smith. It begins to look as though the Republicans’ big job is to pick someone who can beat Al Smith. Can Hoover really do the job? Better Soldiers Recruiting sergeants looking for “rookies” in the old days were never finicky about the in- telligence of the candidate for a place in the ranks of the United States army. All the ser- geant cared for was to make a good showing in the quantity of husky raw material. Today quality rather than quantity is the aim of the recruiting officers. It is no longer suffi-| i cient to know that the applicant is healthy and willing to serve. He must have at least a modi- {cum of intelligence. ze In times of great emergency almost any one pee the willingness to carry a rifle was accept- ‘able, but the army today is particular as to the] kind of men who will be accepted for enlistment. | Applicants are now subjected to intelligence; tests prescribed by the war department. These tests cover a wide field, and so far as tried out they have proved satisfactory. Not only have these intelligence tests helped to eliminate from the ranks men whose mental capacity is below the standard, but they have likewise led the recruiting officers to believe that they will prove highly beneficial in a financial way, for it has been expensive to send would-be soldiers to headquarters and begin training them, only to find them unfitted for | military service, something was rotten—not in Den-| mark, but in Wyoming, where the} Teapot Dome field was located. The matter was referred to an in- vestigating committee of which Walsh was a member. Walsh asked | Secretary Fall—who had been his personal friend when both were in the Senate—for data on the oil re- serves and Fall sent him a ton or| so. Reading the stuff proved a long job and a waste of time. Secretary Fall was voluble in his explanation that the reserves were being drained by off-set wells of others, that they had been patriots to conserve the ni supply, and hinted darkly ‘of a threat of war on us by some great power in the Pacific. Walsh listened to all of this—and then began digging. to a 1. Walsh—he of yes—makes Ish is a Cath- similarity ends. serious, reserved, hands frigidly and kind of man who ybody on the back Gov.

And so the relentless parade of accusing evidence has continued. Only recently Walsh has been able to prove definitely that some of the proceeds of Sinclai dummy Con. tinental Trading Co. reached Fal hands, that more of these profits helped pay off the 1920 debts of the Republican National Committee. The hundreds of witnesses who s|have faced Walsh's cold blue eyes across the mahogany committee table range aJl the way from Sec-} retary Mellon and John D.

As your child learns in school that two and two make four, you can likewise teach him that this food and that food added together make healthy blood. Your child should be taught what food to use out of which he can build a strong and beautiful body.

G. asks: “Will you kindly tell me what should be the reason that very often I have a burning pain at the back of my neck when I touch it or move my neck much? Also the reason for cold, clammy hands when my body is warm?” Answer: There may be some trouble with a cervical vertebra. If the burning pain is around the seventh cervical vertebra, it shows a malposition of one or more verte- brae in that section and this could le a poor circulation in your ands. Question: J. O. asks: “What is an ‘Alligator’ pear?” Answer: “Alligator pear” is a name which has been given to the avocado, but this name should not be used as it does not describe the avocado. It is not a sweet fruit as the name “pear” suggests, but a salad fruit of a nut-like buttery flesh, rich in vegetable oil with also some protein and carbohy- drates. This fruit may be used at almost any meal, and combines well with. any other kind of food. Question: S. O.

And Johnny is at his funniest in the title role of “Chinatown Charlie,” the barker and guide of a New York sight-seeing bus that takes the credulous to the mystic mazes of Inderworld. ‘The comedian’s most hilarious and thrilling stunt to date is his sensa- tional aerial feat in the picture.
