First "Outsiders."

Until the nomination of Franklin

known. The committee on credentials

bers of the convention. The chairman
of the convention asked if the chair
man of the committee was ready to re-
port, and the chairman answered, eyes,
Mr.. Chairman, but the committee is
unable to get inside on account of the
crowd and the pressure of the out
'siders." The newspaper reporters took

Roumanian Peasant Diversions.

MANY hands make light work is a
proverb of the Roumanian peasant
often put into practice. Almost every
night there is a neighborhood gather
ing like the old fashioned apple cut
ting or apple butter boiling in early
American rural history. The houses
have. their turns at these parties, and
there is always a kettle Of cornmeal
mush and baked pumpkin and pota-
toes and popcorn ready for the occa-
sion. All hands join in the evening
program Of combing, carding and spin
ming the household supply of wool or
fax, while the neighborhood gossip
passes current among the elders and
occasional words of love or childish
jest among the more youthful mem
bers of the party.-National Geograph-
