CLEVELAND, July 3.— (By The Associated Press). —Senator Robert M. LaFol- lette of Wisconsin, today was: asked formally to. per- mit the use of his name as a presidential candidate by the na- tional committee “of the’ Conference for Pfogretsive Political Action. which opens its convention here to- ‘morrow. A sub-committee drew up ® message to the senator which was submitted to the full committee for approval and then despatched to Washington. Favorable reply is expected by the leaders of the Cleveland gathering. They said it would probably be brought by messenger from the na- tional capitol or entrusted to the hands of some delegate to the con- vention, so that it might be given the convention late Friday. A big influx of delegates was ex- pected today. Among these was ‘William Green, secretary of the United Mine Workers of America. While accredited as a delegate and entitled to a seat in the convention, he was given no power to bind his organization, his instructions being to report back on the results achieved. ———————— STORES OPEN HERE - UNTIL NINE TONIGHT Stores in Casper will remain open until 9 o'clock this evening to ac- commodate shoppers for the over the holiday period.

From now on {t will cost Casper kids nothing to see the teams of the Ol! City league in action. It's not that they have had ‘to pay or did pay in the past, because, you know in recalling boyhood days, there are other ways of getting into a ball park than through the gate; and there are places other than grandstands and bleachers that command a pretty good view of the diamond, The point is that by letting the boys walk erect through the gate so that they can make a beeline for the bleachers and enjoy the game close-up and in the open, good will is being established. Besides, a ¢lientele and patronage for the future is assured. Any firm or jn- stitution which intends being per- manent *knows-that.it.pays to make friends of children. {If kids were kept away from ball parks, the “national game" would pass out of existence within the next 10 years. Our superintendent of schools, A. A. Slade, has been chosen one of the 12 vice presidents of the National Education association at its convention in Washington, D.C. ‘That's a much greater honor than being nominated vice president on the Democratic ticket, though, in accordance with our custom to admire howling and jowling, we do not see it that way. Education is what counts. Far greater power over the welfare and the destinies of this nation is exer- cised hy the teacher than by the balloting, ballyhooing politician. Babes born in Casper and Chey- enne are not getting a fair deal for a long life. Figures issued by the Child Health association show that the infant mortality is these two cities js 102 out of every 1,000 born. The average rate for 584 cities in this country is 78. Therefore, we are running 24 deaths ahead of the aver- age. Something {s wrong somewhere. Out here we boast that we have all the health in the world. But when it comes to saving our babies we can't prove it. Records show that we are either lying or are ignorant. What is causing this. large loss of fe? Probably it is careless ignor- ance. People become parents without knowing what they are about. We know we have a healthful atmgs- phere, we know that we are not crowded into tenement districts, that we are not a people made up of large So the whole prob- lem goes right back to lack of in- struction for parents who have chil- dren but who do not know how to bring them through thetr first year illnesses, do not know how to pre- vent those illnesse eS had DETROIT, July 3.—Rigney, Jones end Burke made a‘ triple play. for Detroit in the third inning of. to- day's game with Chicago.

She May Be DOUGLAS, Wyo., July 8.—(Special to The Tribune). —Unconscious and believed woman who early this mo: drinking four ounces of chloroform, is lying in a hospital here. Lacking information regarding her identity authori- ties here today expressed the belief that she may have come here from Casper, ; Sho was found in the, Burlington station at”6:20 o'clock this morning by Sheriff Albert Peyton. There was nothing on the body that gave the slightest indication of who the woran was or where she was from. The name of the druggist and the Jabel had been torn from the chloro- form bottle. A note of one line was found in her purse. It read: “Oh, I am so tired.” The stranger is thought*to be 40 to 42 years old. She was fairly well dressed in a dark blue serge suit. She ts of dark complexion, has dark hair, is about 5 feet 3 inches In height and has a plate on her upper front teeth. From Casper. to be dying, an unidentified rning attempted suicide by She remained in the station all last night, according to the agent who before he found her body on the floor, Jast saw her seated at 4 o'clock this morning. ; CASPERITES TO SCATTER FOR CELEBRATION OF : FOURTH; OTHER TOWNS WILL DRAW CROWDS Casperites will scatter to the four wir tomorrow to celebrate. the Fourth and the city promises to hold less people than at any time in rgcent years for Independence day.

The season on the mountain has been unusually dry and the dis- charge of fireworks would be lable to-cause a disastrous forest fire which would endanger the beauty. of the forest.

MOVIE STUFF’ STOLEN ° ° 2 ° ° ¢ 8 ° ° ° ° ° (Special Correspondent of The Casper Tribune—Copyright, 1924, Consolidated SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—Now it’s the bandits who have stolen the movie actors’ stuff—wigs, false whiskers, grease paint mascaroed eyebrows and all. Not only that but, like the cinema'types who are sent out from central “casting bureaus” to fill various movie roles, the bandits have opened an “exchange” where they offer to furnish any type of law breaker for any kind of job. The alleged use of wigs, grease paints, false whiskers and other movie studio accoutrements as adjuncts of ban- ditry, is scheduled to be bared here today in court proceedings to be held at the hospital bedside of Rich- ard Van Walton, self-confessed par- tictpant in almost a score of daring robberies. BY L. C. OWEN, Press Association) ‘Van Walton will confront two al- leged pals in a $13,000 jewelry store holé-up of two weeks ago, in which all three, he alleges, cast aside masks and adopted the latest approved studio make-up methods as a means of concealing thelr identity.
