attack on Representative F. H. La

his stand on increased car iares. The
Mayor said:
Il see that Congressman La Guardia
$ doubtful whether or net scent

ever, that he is opposed to either 10

the organ of the Interborough Rapid

is needed in the Board of Estimate

"This seems to tear the La Guardia
mask away OF course, some people
may need him IN the Board of Esti-

who want to ride for 8 cents should
see to it that he Is kept out of the

La Guardia has evaded and still

He Quotes From Hediey
"The people know that at a hear

Was Anxious to Adopt Girl
The facts concerning the adoption of
Julia have been known to Miss REM

months, but the candidate has been
reluctant to talk about her private

Miss Rembaugh has theory that

Thompson Makes Denial
Says He Paid for Hiring
Auditorium with Personal
Check; Not Tammany

Tonight In Carnegie Hall Governor
Smith will resume his attack on William
Randolph Hearst and his newspapers
Mr.. Hearst's refusal to accept the Gov
ernor's challenge to debate changed
the plans Of the committee of one
hundred. which hired the hall, and Gov
ernor Smith will tell the people "all
about Mr.. Hearst" with the target of
his attack absent.
The committee Of one hundred, OF
which Colonel Jefferson De Mont
Thompson is chairman, and the Rev
Dr.. Howard Duffield, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church. vice chairman
yesterday had the hall decorated with
the Stars and Stripes. On the back of
each chair those who go to the meet
ing will find small American flag.
Colonel Thompson answered the
charge Of Mr. Hearst that the hall had
ben hired by Tammany by saying:
"Tammany has had nothing to do
with hiring Carnegie Hall. person
ally hired the hall and paid for it with
my own personal check"
Governor Smith was asked if he
would reply to the insinuations in Mr.
Hearst's letter declining to meet him
in debate.
"You bet will he replied. "Come
to Carnegie Hall and hear it, and a
little more besides''
But to-night's speech of the Gov
ernor will not end his review of the
acts OF the editor-p politician, and his
newspapers, which were provoked by
the daily attacks ma~e on the Cover
nor IN the Hearst newspapers. 1t is
said the most important material in
the Governors possession affecting
MIR. Hearst and his newspapers will
not be used until after election day.
From oil parts Of the state. and from

HIS OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
Old Soldier Could Not Fight /. Rankc,
But Could Prove He Waa OF
Some Use.

A year ago Americans were saying
that this was not an old man S war.
And the old men, many OF whom had
been soldiers in their younger days.
were feeling the same way and SUI
fering over it. too. Old women could
knit, roll bandages, and do hundred
other things quite as we'll US the young
er women. But what could the old
men do? And because there seemed
to be nothing for them to do, they suf-
fered more keenly than most people
knew.
But as the young men left there be-
,an to be work for the old men. Re
tired farmers were needed to teach
boys how to farm. Retired bankers
were put on Thrift stamp and finance
committees. All carpenters, whether
young or old. were needed. And there
came New look-one Of usefulness
and happiness-on the faces OF the
old men.
But one of the most patriotic of all
was noted the other day.
"rd like to buy your old rubber ano
rags" he said courteously, "ur if you'd
give it to me it woald be still bet
ter"
The woman of the house glarced out
at his push cart which was almost
full of junk. I'll try to find some
thing" she began.
The old mans face was radiant.
''You see. lady," he explained. I'm
an old soldier and I'm on pension
so I'm giving all my time to my coun'
try. get this junk for the Red Cross.
