BAKER'S STRENGTH INPOLL EXPECTED Favorable Vote From Editors " Reveals Roosevelt’s Closest Rival. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Publication of the latest poll of Demo- eratic editors showing a decided prefer- ence for Newton D. Baker causes no surprise here. Even though the editors predict that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt will be nominated—this being based upon the outlook to date—it is signifi- cant that the former Secretary of War stands highest in their esteem. Although with no political strength in the ordinary sense, Owen D. Young 1s again third, as h2 has been in almost every poll taken thus far. Scattered votes for Alfred E. Smith and Melvin Traylor, president of the First National Bank of Chicago, are interesting in that they reveal a disinclination to accept Mr. Roosevelt. Liquor Issue Seen. Indeed, the combined votes of all the other candidates mentioned is far in excess of the number claimed nowadays by the Roosevelt supporters. ‘The poll indicates the question of preference as between Mr. Baker and Mr. Roosevelt has something to do with the prohibition issue. Mr. Baker as & member of the Wickersham Com- mission favored outright repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Mr. Roosevelt is not considered as wet as Mr. Baker. ‘The views of the Southern editors with respect to prohibition are interesting in that they clearly show that while no wet candidate is relished, there would be no protest in 1932 comparable to the anti-Smith movement of 1928. The rise in the political stock of Mr. Baker in recent weeks has been un- precedented. It is apparent that the speech he made at Willlamstown, Mass., has _won him many supporters among the Democratic editors, and from now on he may be regarded as the leading contender against Gov. Roose- velt. It will not be surprising if some of the element opposed to Mr. Roose- velt, but who have had no particular preference, will rally behind the Baker candidacy hereafter. Young Looms as Compromise. Tt may be expected, therefore, that the race for the Democratic nomina- tlon from now on lies between Mr. Baker and Mr. Roosevelt. The chances of Mr. Young landing the nomination depend entirely on whether there is a Baker-Roosevelt deadlock. Mr. Young has friends among both the Roosevelt and the Baker supporters and it is a foregone conclusion that his op- portunity lies in becoming & compro- mise candidate. If the situation has not improved in November, 1932, and economic ques- tions are paramount, the Democ g:;try will look for someone as standard er who can capture not only the support of the business man but the rank and file. Friends of Mr. Young are by no means active, but are play- ing a passive role, believing that if the country wants a man of his busi- ness capacity it will insist upon such a type in preference to a political figure. At the moment, the contest is be- tween Mr. Baker and Mr. Roosevelt with the, former gaining in strength and the latter holding a comfortable lead. Airmail Stamps in Books.

C, SON, PRODIGY, THRICE WED, DENIES NEW RIFT Former Miss Stoner, Author of Book at Age of 6, Spikes Report, Bride at “Sudden” Wedding and Third Husband Still Honeymooning. By the Associated Pre; HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 8.— Winifred Sackville Stoner Harrison, erstwhile “infant prodigy” of letters, and Earl Winston Harrison, 31, her re- cently acquired husband, dis with a New York report, attributed to Mrs. Harrison's mother, that their marriage s a failure. Located in their Hollywood apart- ment, they asserted in enthusiastic uni- son that they were enjoying a perfectly good honeymoon, and denied they were on the point of seeking an annulment. Furthermore, they asserted they in- tended to move to Texas, home of the bridegroom, about the first of the year. Mrs. Harrison was quoted in New York Thursday as saying in a telegram to her mother there that the brief mar- riage since August 18 had proved s failure and a separation was imminent. Spikes Report on Split. “Mother must have misunderstood my telegram or some one did,” sald the bride, who at the age of 6 years won wide fame through the publication of her first book. “I haven't the remotest idea of asking for a divorce or an annulment, or any- thing like that. We're as happy as we can possibly be and looking forward to our trip to Ncw York, where mother will meet Mr. Harrison. I know she'll like him.” ‘To the mother, who. won fame herself through pronounced ideas as to the rearing of children, including abolition of “Mother Goose” in the nursery, was attributed the statement that “Winifred prefers the companionship of older men,” and that “her first two marriages were to older men.” Third Marriage Tried. “The last marriage,” she sald, “is the result of the speed age. Having been unhappily married to two older men she thought she would try her ha, in the companionship of an energetic MRS. WINIFRED HARRISON. young man. She found only misery, and parted from her husband only & few days after her marriage.” And that statement, the - daughter said, was something she can't ltinder- stand. “We telegraphed to mother the' day we were married” she went on. “We told her about it, and sald we were g to New York very soon to visit er and that it might be several months before we settled down.” Admits “Sudden” Nuptials. ‘The bride admitted the marriage at Yuma, Ariz, was “just a little sudden,” but she said she and Harrison had known each other since last April. “And that, in these rapid_days, added, “is a lifetime.” ‘The Harrisons said they intended to spend a few more days in Hollywood before proceeding to New York. Thence, about January 1, they said, they will g0 to Wells, Texas, where Harrison is in the oil business. Mrs, Harrison sald she would con- tinue her prodigy was married first to Phillipe Clinton de Bruche. Annulment pro- ceedings were withdrawn when he was reported killed in Mexico. Later she was married to Louls Hyman, whom she divorced in 1930. “But this time I'm right,” she said. “The others were bad dreams. This is the real thing.” she Depression Gives Dobbin His Chance To Stage Comeback Increasing Demand Shown as Growers Seek Cheaper Farming. By the Associated Press. Among the comeback attempts of {’?rmer champlons list that of Old Dob- | n. The Agriculture Department believes it will be partially successful, basing its opinion upon reports from widely scat- tered sources which indicate an increas- ing farm demand for horses and mules. The development adds one more to the hundreds laid upon the littered threshold of the economic depression. Horses and mules eat footstuffs grown | upon the farm. The tractor consumes oil and gasoline and these, however low in price, ordinarily must be paid for in cash. ‘The farmer is overburdened with & lot of things, but cash isn't one of them. ‘The surplus in many crops has soured agriculturists on mass produc- tion and they are seeking cheaper, if less efficient, methods of farming. At least, these are the views of the de- partment experts in touch with the situation. Although the trend is back toward | the horse and mule, department figures | show the average age for these quadru- ; peds on farms is about 10 yea: ‘With the mechanization of the farm in recent years breeding declined and re- placements were few. Between 1924 and the beginning of | b the economic_depression declines were | recorded for both. In 1924 the number of horses was | estimated at 17,222,000, almost 4,500,- | 000 more than the 1931 estimate of 12,- | 803,000. In 1926 the number of mules was fixed at 5,740,000 and in 1931 at 5,131,000. The average price of horses declined | from $77 in June, 1924, to $67 in June, | 1931. " Mules fell from $99 in 1926 to $79 in 1931, SLAYERS OF ELECTRICIAN HELD UNION INSURGENTS cago School Employe Was Killed to Intimidate His Friends. By the Associated Press.

Careful investigation seems to lndl-‘ cate that we must cease to believe the | tales about the sprouting of corn pro- duced from seeds found with mum- 5 |mies in Egyptian tombs thousands of years old. | Careful experiments were made with wheat obtained by Sir Ernest Budge, | [ the Egyptologist, from the tiny bins of | & model granary discovered in a tomb | 3,000 years old. The grains were col- lected and sent to Kew Gardens, where the authorities did their utmost to make them sprout. After weeks of waiting not a sign of a green blade had ap- peared, and the earth in which the grains had been planted was turned over. Every grain was found to have | crumbled into dust. | How is it, then, that we have ac- counts by people of the highest in- tegrity ‘of “cora' ‘grown from mummy seeds? ' Sir Ernest' Budge gives two .convincing: explanations. Most ancient tombs .in .Egypt- have - been looted at one. time. or.another. and they have been . used. subsequently as granaries. many cases the seeds found are not ‘more than 5 or 10 years old, which ac- counts for fhe many instances taken from tombs.

By the Associated Press. Millions throughout the country to- day ended their week’s work for their last fling at Summer over Labor day week end. Prom cities poured hundreds of thou- sands toward seashore and mountain resorts, while many from the rural sections invaded citles to get & glimpse of the sights. Both of these vast groups had the same idea—to get away for a short time from the raging prospect of a hard Winter—but many others re- mained on their jobs to add to their security during the coming months. Late This Year. Labor day comes late this year, as late as it can. Since its adoption by the American Federation of Labor in 1884, it has fallen on the first Mon- day in September. It has become an American institution and has been de- clared a legal holiday by Congress and State legislatures. The day has a significant bearing on American life. Besides being reserved 1by union labor organizations for cele- brations and for stimulation of their members’ interest, the day is the turn- ing point of much of the Nation's busi- ness and social life in the early Autumn. Summer resorts receive the last great influx of city visitors dnd their last big receipts of the season. When La- bor day midnight comes, the spirit of | these playgrounds of America-curls up for the Winter.
