BOLD, BRAzEN OR
FOOLISH HE CALLS
SLUSH EFFORTS
Tumultuous Welcome
Given Candidate by
Gothamites

NEW YORK. August 2s.-Re-
publican efforts to raise presidential
campaign funds were said by Cover
nor Cox here today to be "bold,
brazen or foolish" 1t was his first
official visit here since receiving the
nomination.
Governor Cox received a tumult-
uous welcome on his arrival, then
delivered two addresses in which ne
dealt with Republican campaign
funds, the League of Nations and
Amencanization. His first address
was given at a luncheon at the Ma
tional Democratic club, and the sec
ond at the police field day at Grave
send.
Governor Cox was showered with
flowers when he stepped off his pri-
vate car at the Grand Central Station
for two-day visit to New York.
Arriving here from New Haven
about an HOUR ahead of schedule,
the presidential candidate found that
thousands of men and women massed
in the terminal to greet him were not
to be caught unawares by any shift
in the time table. They were early
and they came prepared to give Gov
ernor Cox a hearty informal wei
come.
AS he left his train on which he
had breakfasted, he was greeted by
committee of Democratic women.
Proceeding down the platform he
found the train crew lined up to re-
view his party and with each man,
from blue uniformed conductor to
engineer in overalls, the governor
shook hands.
The real reception, however, came
when Mr.. Cox entered the rotunda.
An aisle had been roped off across
the tiled floor. He found not only
the main floor but galleries and the
grand staircase thronged with men
and women. Appearance of Cover
nor Cox's party halted even the rush
of Saturday vacationists.
AS the presidential nominee
reached the center of the hall, pro-
longed cheering broke out, followed
| by cries for speech. Then came
the rain of flowers.
Governor Cox bowed to right and
left, and, hat in hand, made his way
slowly across the floor. Now and then
he would stop to shake hands with
some admirer, Hut he could not be
; induced to make a speech. Reaching
his hotel, he went at once to his
room to prepare for the reception
parade in his honor for the Ma
tional Democratic Club on Fifth
avenue.
/ After the final ceremonies set for
the day, the candidate was the guest
of j. j. Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, and
Geo. White, national chairman, at a
dinner party and house warming at
the formers new home.
There, the governor planned to
pass the night and spend Sunday
quietly attending church and max
ing several canned" speeches on
Photographic records.

HARDING BRANDS
LEAGUE FAILURE;
FOR TRIBUNAL
Comes Out Squarely
Against Covenant;
For Hague Plan

MARION, O., August 28<-Pro-
nouncing the existing League of Ma
tions a definite and irredeemable
failure, Senator Harding today pro-
posed a new effort to construct a
world association on the framework
of the Hague tribunal, clothed with
such attributes of the league cove
nant as. may be found safe and prac-
ticable. He pledged himself if elect
ed to take an immediate effort, with
the advice of the ablest man of both
parties, to form such an association
either by putting teeth" into the
Hague court or revising the cove
nant to protect national aspirations.
The declaration was made in a
front porch speech to Indiana Repub-
licans, covering in detail the nomi-
nee's position on the nations foreign
relations.

$50 BALES new
CROP RECEIPTS
Spot Price Reaches 81
Cents on Better
Demand

Despite continued showery wealth
er, which has made cotton picking
almost impossible, approximately $50
bales of this seasons crop have been
received at the Americus warehous-
es, $50 of them being brought in yes
terday The fields contain a great
deal of open cotton and heavy re-
ceipts may be expected as soon as a
dry period sets in, which the farm
ers are earnestly hoping for. The
quality received thus far is fair con-
sidering the dampness of the wealth
er, and when it is considered that
each bale of new cotton marketed
under present conditions contains
several hounds of water, the prices
which have been offered have not
been as low as they appeared.
Toward the weekend the market
stiffened on improved demand, and
good middling spots were quoted as
high as 81 cents in some instances
here Saturday, the high market for
the new crop. Several bales changed
hands at 80 ga cents.

Labor Finds Record Of Cox
Clean; Harding Often Wrong

cut no particular figure in the cleo
tion, that the contest lies between
Cox and Harding and that the
strength of organized labor, so far as
it can be swung politically by fed
Grafton officials, will be put solidly
behind the Democratic candidate.
The committee making the report
is composed of Samuel Gompers.
president of the federation, Frank
Morrison, secretary, and Matthew
Vol, first Yice-president.
Not So Good.
Harding, as state senator, is
found voting six times on labor pro-
posals, all favorably. AS United
States senator, however, his record
is not so good. On 18 proposals af-
fecting labor he is shown to have
voted favorably seven times, unfa-
vorably ten times and to have been
paired unfavorably once.
Cox's labor record, however, both
in Congress and as governor of his
state, is absolutely clean, the COM
mittee finds In Congress he sup
ported both the "Phossy jaw bill
and the bill creating the Children's
Bureau, the two labor issues arising
during his service in Congress.
As governor he has approved and
put into practice SO measures de-
signed to safeguard the worker and
improve industrial and employment
conditions. mot an adverse action
is shown on any of the legislative
measures" the report states.
Guides Workers.
The record set forth is for the guild
ance of American workers in de-
termining where to cast their votes,
1t doesn't urge organized labor in
so many words to vote for Cox, but
its conclusion is inescapable.
"The American labor movement,
the report says tasks from no man
or woman a pledge of political con.
duct. 1t seeks to dictate none. Its
field is limited, and properly 500 tC
furnishing the rank and file the in
formation upon which it may base
conclusions" But
SIN addition to his superior un
derstanding of the needs of tht
working people," the report contin
ues, Governor Cox is the candidate
on a platform which marks measure
of progress not found in the Repub-
lican platform and the planks which
more nearly approximate the desired
declaration of human rights than
do the planks of the Republican plat
form.
"Not only in specific utterancei
relating directly to questions helC
paramount by labor is the comparison
favorable to Governor Cox. Hi
progressive and constructive view
point holds throughout his declara
tion of public questions.

FL PASO,Tex., March 17.-Air maps of the Arizona Mexican Border will be made by the army air service reconnaissance branch as soon as landing fields for camera-airplanes are located and charted, according to an announcement at Fort Bliss. g Long stretches of the border are mountainous, cut by deep ravines and gulches that cross the border and the terrain is said to be ex. tremely difficult to map and survey in the ordinary way. After photo graphs of the line have been taken from airplanes, the negatives are to be reduced to a uniform scale and joined. This is, said to result in a map, not only wholly accurate, but which shows features of the terrain that engineers surveying from the ground would be almost certain to miss.

Three others of the new Cabinet are advocates of measures to increase the French birthrate
 War cost France roughly 1,500,- 900 lives. A low birthrate. during the war years, cost France 1,272,-
 735 loss of population. These sta- tistics, made into striking pictures to illustrate their effect on the na- tion, industry and war-dangcr, are

To encourage such families government allowances of 50 to 200 francs year are granted for each child after the second, un- der 13 years. The Alliance asks also for legislation to provide for the construction of cheap attractive

 INSTALLED IN HALL
 OF NATURAL HISTORY

NEW YORK. March 1S.-The skel- eton of prehistoric deinodon, cal culated to be 60,000,000 years old has been installed in Dinosaur Hall at the American Museum of Natural History. The deinodon, which is also known as "terrible-tooth" is de- sclibed as perhaps the most swift and terrible creature of it's time. ' The skeleton stands eleven feet five inches high and measures rtwenty feet from it's nose to the tip of it's tail. It is supposed to have weighed several times as much as the largest lion at that time.
 Dr. w. D. Matthews. curator of the museums department of vertebrate paleontology, says that our prehistor. ic ancestors perhaps did not have to contend with the -deinodon, which likely was extinct before tue earliest cayeman.
 The deinodon lived during the cretaceous period of the age of rep tiles. according to calculations based on the alterations of redio active min. erals.
 The skeleton Of the deinodon was found three years ago by Charles II. Sternberg, in the canyon of the Red Deer river in Alberta. the richest repository of dinosaur skele- tons yet discovered.
