HOOVER ASKED 0 MAKE SPEECHES Redves Invittin 0 Talk Belore Texans Washington, Sept. 20 (P—As Herbert Hoover turned today to con- sideration of his second prepared ad- dress in his campaign he had before him pressing invitations to extend the program of four prepared speechés which he set for himself on his return from making his accept- ance address in California. Whether the republican presiden- tial candidate will find it possible to respond to these requests remains to be determined, but as election day approaches the pressure upon him will be increased and at least some of his advisers think he will accept some of the invitations. His present plan, however, is to speak only at Elizabethton, Tenn., New York city and Boston before turning back to his California home to cast his vote. He now is work- ing on the Elizabethton address, which will be delivered October 6 and which is expected to deal with industrial questions. On returning here from northern New Jerfsey, where he discussed labor Monday night and made sev- eral impromptu talks in his two days of campaigning there, Hoover again ‘was urged to visit both Texas and Il- linols, either during his return trip across the centinent or at some earlier time, Presented By Love The invitation from Texas was personally presented by Thomas B. Love and other democrats of that state who fought against the nom- ination of Alfred E. 8mith as the democratic standard-bearer and who have been active in the anti-Smith campaign since the Houston con- vention, Love and others who called at general headquarters yesterday de- clared that if the republican candi- date would visit Texas he would have an opportunity to swing that democratic stronghold into the re- publican presidential column in No- vember. Mrs. Ruth Harna McCormick urg- ed Hoover to visit Illinois during his return trip, speaking preferably at Chicago, S8he asserted that the wom- en of the state were showing a great interest in the republican cause and that there was no apprehension about the farm vote. No Comment Yet Hoover has had no comment to make thus far on the Omaha speech of Governor Smith on the agri- cultural problem, and it was indi- cated that he probably would have none, However, other leaders of his party are expected to reply, Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the re- publican national committee, hav- ing fssued a statement, late yesterday declaring that the democratic candi- date's assertions were based upon misquotations. Bome of the biggest guns of the republican party who are now on or soon will take the stump also are ex- pected to reply to the New York VERY PAINFUL BLISTERS On Child’s Face, Arm and Neck, Cuticura Healed. —_— ] “My little boy's face, arm and /| neck broke out with a rash first and then blisters, The blisters soon spread all over the affected parts.. painful and itched Rely on Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment to keep your skin clear. .

FAILS 70 HEAR WHISTLE OF APPROACHING TRAIN Girl On Way to School That Was Closed Will Probably Die Danvers, Mass., Sept. 20 (UP)— Kathleen Dempsey, 11-year-old daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Mor- ton Dempsey, did not hear the blast of the siren this morning, which signified no school session would be held because of the heavy rain storm, 8he wrapped her books carefully in oil cloth, put on her raincoat and went out into the storm. As she was crossing the Boston and Maine tracks on her way to the empty schoolhouse over the hill on the other side of the railroad, she bent to tie a loose shoe string. It was raining hard and the northeast wind was whistling sharply through the branches of trees nearby. She was oblivious of the whistle of an approaching train nor did she hear the cries of the watchman at the crossing. ‘When the train stopped, it was too late, Her left leg had been amputated and her body was fright- fully bruised. Kathleen is not ex- pected to live, physicians at Hunt Memorial hospital said. BOY IS AWARDED $300 Question of How Fast Does a Mes- senger Boy Go When He Is Speeding Comes Up. Boston, Sept. 20 (UP)—How fast does a messenger boy go when he is “speeding?” The answer to this question was the high spot in the damage suit of George Turkanis against the Postal Telegraph Cable company yesterday. Two years ago Turkanis, employed by the Western Union, and another messenger boy of a rival company, engaged in their day’s labor, were riding their bicycles at high speed (testimony). They collided head-on and Turkanis suffered bruises of the knee and nos: The jury derived much amuse- ment from the figurative motion picture of the two “wing-footed Mercuries,” each pedalling his own bicycle and bound on a delivery of a telegram, approaching each other at “tremendous” speed, each gazing on the other, oblivious of the pass- ing stream of motor cars. Then the picture of the head-on crash and the wrecking of their machines. Turkanis was awarded $300. Dirigible Goes for Second Trip in Germany Friedrichshafen, Germany, Sept. 20 (M—The dirigible Graf Zeppelin, in which Dr. Hugo Eckener intends to fly to America, ascended at 8 a. m. today for a second flight over southern Germany. The airship took a westerly course, its objective depending on the weather which was glorious at the start. After cruising over Lake Constance, the dirigible crossed into Switzerland flew over Zurich at §:50 and Basle at 9:20. It then turned toward Freiburg. In addition to a crew of 39, the Graf Zeppelin carried 16 newspa- permen and 15 mechanics from the Friedrichshafen work: “Open Bars” Are Only | Shock to Aimee McPherson Paris, Sept. 20 (P —Paris, the so- called modern Babylon, does not appear to be as wicked as repre- scnted, Mrs. Aimee Scmple Me- Pherson, Los Angeles Evangelist, in- formed those who inquired today about her impressions, All Parisians, she said, seemed to be hard work- ing. The only thing that mildly shock- ed Mrs. McPherson was the preval- ence of what she termed “open bars” and interviewers assumed she meant the cafes. Mrs, McPherson said she planned to stay two or three days in Paris to show her son the sights. Then she will go to Switzerland for a va- cation after which she will conduct an Evangelical campaign in Eng- land. A NEW DISCOVERY! A salt that will NEW BRITAIN DAILY }inmm‘.

W, HOOVER IS " AID TO HUSBAND Assumes Definite Role as Ad- viser in Campaign Washington, Sept. 20 (UP)—Mrs, important part in her husband’s |campaign for the presidency than wives have been known to take in previous campaigns. As a confidential adviser, friend of the court, his companion on all his trips and 2 woman who has definite |ideas as to the method of conduct- ing many phases of the campaign, Mrs. Hoover has assumed a definite rolc in the battle. Her husband has consulted her for advice regarding many of his im- Hce for convictions | Lou Henry Hoover is taking a more | portant decisions, just as he has al- ways done since they were married two years after they met as students at Stanford university. Collaboration in business as well as family matters has always char- caterized their relationship, accord- ing to their biographers. An instance was furnished when they worked together in the trans- lation of *“de re metalica,” a tech- nical study of metallurgy written in the 16th century by Aqricola, which had either defied or been overlooked by American translators. Accompanies Nominee Since the campaign opened Mrs. Hoover has always accompanied her husband on his public appearances. She has made no speeches and will make none, However, at a Newark luncheon last Tuesday, when she was introduced to the guests she suggested a rising vote of thanks for the host, which she said had been overlooked. She was heartily ap- plauded for the suggestion. Yesterday she made a public ap- pearance in Philadelphia at the dedi- cation of the Hannah Penn home. One of the few ideas that Mrs. Hoover has been unable to prevail in is that her husband should take more rest. She now wants him to go fishing, and there are indications that her subtle campaign may be ef- fective next week. Samuel Koenig, chairman of the New York county committee, came to Washington today to confer with the nominee regarding developments in the New York political situation. No other callers were scheduled.
