MUSHROOMS or ALL SORTS
Edible and Polsonous, While One spo-

40 : God.

In or about the edges Of woods one
occasionally comes across an unpleas-
ant-looking umbrella-shaped mush-
room with red or orange-colored top
that Is covered with a Shiny emulation.
Now and then, strange to say, people
eat 1t. They die.
Its slime Is very attractive to flies.
They gather upon 1t, and they die. In
Europe this species Of mushroom is
used as substitute for fy-paper.
The Notwithstanding .clathrus"
mushroom Ia believed in France to
cause cancer. French people call 1t
the cancer mushroom" Another spe-
cies, which grows on olive trees, Is SO
luminous at night that one can see to
read by it.
Other kinds Of mushrooms are used
for making ink, for stanching the flOw
OF blood and Tin Laplandl for killing
bedhugs. A European species is en-
ployed to stupefy bees, and certain
"pufballs' are said TO have anes-
thetic properties. Tribes Of semi
savages in northeastern Asia utilize a
mushroom for snuff. But most curious
OF all is the Polyporus eacer, which in
Africa Is worShiped as a god.-Pitts-

4 &
Convention Hall, San Francisco
After seven days of the most siren
uous conventioning any political party
has known for many years the Demo
cratic gathering at 1 40 o'clock, Tues
day morning. July 6, named James NJ.
Cox, governor Of Ohio, for president.
The nomination for president was
made on the 44th ballot
Franklin d. Roosevelt, of New York,
was nominated for vice president by
reclamation at the Tuesday afternoon
session. sfy5 @
It was a real convention, and more
especially real Democratic conven-
ton that adjourned on Tuesday. 1t was
convention that was run by the
1904 delegates and an equal number
Of alternates. 1t was leaderless, and
In fact If 1t may be said to have had
a fault at all it was this lack of lead
ership that for many weary hours
made 1t seem Impossible for the neces-
sary two-thirds to reach an agreement
on the choice Of candidate. During
these hours and days there were a
number Of men who were quite will
ing to assume leadership, but no one
OF them, or no group Of them, could
find a sufficient number of followers
to make their leadership effective.
The delegates insisted that they, and
not any self-appointed group Of lead
ers, represented the rank and file OF
the Democratic party, and each dele
gate insisted on voting the way he
believed his people at home wished
him to vote, and regardless Of any
plea for a compromise.
The opening Of the great gathering
was as featureless as all such open
ings are. There was an air of ex-
pectancy in the vast audience, for
the vast majority Of whom this was
their first experience In a political
convention of such magnitude. The
audience had looked for fight start
Ing with the fall of vice-Chairman
Kramer's gavel, but they were re-
warded with nothing more exciting
than the masterful keynote address of
Homer Cummings in which he out
lined the issues on which the Demo
cratic party would ask the people for
support. This address was devoted al
most exclusively to the League Of

URGE CIVIC DUTIES
AS ESSENTIAL AIM
PROBLEMS OF CLASSROOM AND
ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSED
AT EDUCATIONAL MEET.
Educators OF the Nation Understand
More Clearly Than Ever Before
the SoIemplty Of the Duty That
Is Laid Upon Theus,

Salt Lake City.-The teachers OF
the nation were represented at the
first official mass session, on Mon
day, Of the National Education associ-
alton, In annual convention.
Deeper realization of the vital part
that education bears In the develop
ment Of the true American citizen,
the essential element In the perpetuity
of the nation, was the dominant note
Through all the addresses ran the
undercurrent that the educators Of
the nation understand today, more
clearly than ever before, the solem-
nifty of the duty that is laid upon
them, the high responsibility that is
theirs in shaping the lives and char
actars Of those who must soon con-
troll the destinies Of the nation.
IN. q. A. Smith, former superin-
tendent Of Salt Lake City schools,
who made the address introducing
Chairman George ID. Strayer, called
attention to the fact that the exec
utive officers of the N. =. A. realize
the sweeping change that has come
over the minds of the people as to
the Importance OF education.
City Superintendent George N.
Child, who delivered the first Of the
welcoming addresses. pointed out the
necessity for school legislation, which,
like that of Utah, is aimed to make
the student physically, mentally, vo-
catfonally and morally efficient
Governor Bamberger declared that
his experience during and since the
war have given him an insight into
the priceless value of education he
never before enjoyed.
DR.. A. b. WinshIp Of Boston, who
made the, official response, intermln-
gled h1s praise of Utah's progress
with terse expressions regarding the
power and influence of the teacher.
Consciousness of responsibility was
the keynote Of the annual address by
Mrs. Josephine Corliss. Preston, pres
ident Of tie association.

1t was without result. The leaders
were willing to pick dark horse, and
the attempt was made to put over
Ambassador Davis, but the delegates
refused to follow the leaders, and
continued to vote almost to a man az
they had before the adjournment, and
they continued to do so until midnight
forced an adjournment to Monday.
1t was the caucuses Of Sunday and
Sunday night that made the final
nomination possible.
The space allotted to this story In
not sufficient to warrant even an eff
fort at painting q word picture OF the
Democratic convention of 1920. 1t
was q convention that will be remeafs
bered as one OF the most fiercely
fought political battles, one Of the
most picturesque political gatherings
in the nations history. There Were
hundreds of exciting incidents that
appealed strongly to the great audi
ence of every session. and In these in
cidents, and also In the important af-
fairs OF the convention. women played

San Francisco did ITS full part as
host to the Democratic throng, and
every arrangement for the entertain

was perfect. The great auditorium.
seating some 1900 people. was filled
to capacity at each session, but there
was never any discomfort, and never

rejected by q viva voce vote, and then
the majority report was adopted with
out a roll call.
While the platform as adopted may
be said to represent a victory for the
administration forces as led by Sen.
ator Glass, 1t was not adopted with
out giving all a chance to secure such
changes as a majority Of the delegates
favored. On the liquor question Mr.
Bryan pointed out after the session
that the vote for his dry plank and
the Cochran wet plank combined did
not represent a majority Of the dele
gates, which was an evidence that
the party was determined to ignore
the subject.
Much as the great audiences had
appreciated the oratorical displays,
and the keen competitions that had
marked the efforts to secure party
endorsement for opposing ideas, the
one great feature OF the national show
for which all had waited was the bal
loting on candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination, and when Chairman
Robinson, of Arkansas, announced
the next order of business as the call
Of the roll of states Immediately after
the adoption of the platform, he was
greeted with a mighty roar.
All realized that the first ballot.
taken ON Friday night, would merely
show general lineup of the forces,
and that no decisive result was pos
sible until such time as the contest
could be narrowed down to the real
leaders. The McAdoo, Cox and Pal
mer forces were all claiming cer-
tain victory, while the Nadherents Of
such candidates as Senator Owen, Ann
bassador Davis, vice-President Mar
shall and National Chairman Cum
mings. were certain that no one of
the three leaders could be successful,
and that their candidate would be
their choice on d compromise.
On the first ballot of Friday night
the result was McAdoo 266, Palmer
256, Cox 1874, Gov. Smith 100, Owens
SS, Davis 80, Cummings Is. Marshall
81, Meredith q, Hitchcock IS, Glass
20 IL, Edwards AZ, Girard 21, Har-

was taken on Saturday the contest
had narrowed down to the three lead
ers with the exception Of the Okla

Now, she is very sarcastic young
woman, and the man who wishes to
marry her is often much tOrmented
with her ability to say things which
make him distinctly uncomfortable.
One night one Of his friends and he
decided to 60 to picture house and
there they saw play In which the
caveman stuff was exceedingly strong.
Evidently that gave the young man
an inspiration, for the next cutting
remark the young woman made he
resented.
He had come to take her for a
drive. After getting her safely set
tied in his car and having placed a
large box Of candy in her lap he set
tied down for q pleasant evening.
But not long. The young woman could
not stand his ease. She deliberately
opened her box, took out a bonbon,
nibbled at IT a minute and then said
in icy tones: why, this candy il
stale"
At first the young man felt inclined
to writhe, but the next minute the
cayeman STUFF Of the movie darted
into his mind. He did what he
thought was a real rough act. He
seized that beautiful box of candy
and threw 1t as far as he could.
