SMALLEST PRECINCT IN u, s. HAS FOUR VOTERS
Residents Have Trouble Finding
 Ballot Box Officials

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.-(By Associa- ted Press)-A voting precinct in St. Louis county, with four perennial residents, is believed to have the smallest population Of known quail fled voters of any precinct in the United States.
 The precinct is at Washington Un1- versity, just west of St. Louis Clty' and the four residents are wondering how they can distribute the neees- sary six precinct officials.
 The quartet, however, takes com fort in the fact that some members of the faculty stay at the dCrmitorles when the university is in session, and some of these may be qualified voters in St. Louis county
 Those who reside at the university throughout the year are Jake Reich ert. ianitor, and his wife, and Morris Boorstin, superintendent or buildings and grounds, and Mrs. Boorstin. Formerly they voted at the county courthouse at Clayton but at the last session of the state legislature law was passed provld- ing for a board of election com missioners in -t. Louis county, This law necessitated a redistrlctlng Of precincts, as it forbids the adjoin- ing of municipal and rural. or unat- tached territory in precinct.
 As Washington University IS not in a municipality, but is surrounded by municipalities, it was necessary to make the grounds of the institu- tfon a seperate precinct. The unique precinct will be in operation for the first time September 1S-20, when a registratit will be held in St. Louis county.

DIR. M. R. HUTCHINSON IS RADIO LECTURER
Explains Formula Of Boil Weevil
 Poison

" Y broadcast Saturday evening an address by Dr. Miller Reese Hut chison, Alabama's most famous scientist, on the subject of newly discovered process for the manufac- ture of calcium arsenate by cleo trolysis. Dr. Hutchison, who is chair man of the national campaign for boil weevil control, made the trip to Birmingham for the especial pur- pose of having his talk broadcast from station in the heart of Dixie and to pay due tribute to his forme Auburn classmate, A. NJ. Kennedy. who with Dr. Stewart J. Lloyd of the University of Alabama, invented the process.
 Dr. Hutchison outlined the pro- cesses by which the chemical, most deadly poison of the boil weevll yet discovered, is made. according to the electrolytic formula, and declared that MT. Kennedy's invention pro duces a product of greater purity manufacture a much cheaper chem ical than the calcium arsenate made by the old nitric acid process.
 He touched on the problems which confronted MT. Kennedy when the idea of electrolytic manufacture of the insecticide first occurred to him and the methods used in their so- lution.
 pr. Hutchison is one of the coun- try's most distinguished inventors and was associated with Thomas A. engineer of the Edison laboratories. He is native of Mobile, Ala, and T graduate Of the Alabama Polytechnic institute.

 Not long go the post office, which owns all the telephones in Great try to supply each exchange with daily forecasts of the weather in it's vicinity. The first month this in- formation was available to subscri- bers, 1O,172 persons called up to find out if it was going to rain. Of course 1t usually was, the way of British weather being a wet one. In London most of the inquiries were made on Fridays and Saturdays. This was taken to mean that the only time people really care about climate over here is when they are set for an outing. The rest of the time they cannot be bothered, let the fogs fall where they may

 Hardly anyone troubles to ring up and find out the time. Maybe minutes do not mean so much in this asy-going land as in the supposedly "snappy' United States.

SOAP LEPER ENEMY
Scientist Says It Will Exterminate
 Disease


 CHICAGO, Sept. S.-(By Associated Press.)-Soap is the greatest enemy of leprosy and if economic conditions could be changed so that everyone could afford to be clean, and educa- tion create in the mthe desire and knowledge of hygiene, leprosy would soon cease to be great scourge and become one of the rare diseases pr. Arthur W. Stillians, professor of dermatology at Northwestern univer- sity. announced in an article just published.
 The author arrives at the conclu-' sion that to eradicate leprosy in this country the first object of the attack must be on the popular fear of the disease, Tt seems the greatest dif- ficulty in the isolation of lepers in the United States is finding them. ther fear of being branded as lepers being so great that those who sus pect the nature of their disease will hide, at any sacrifice, rather than come into the open" says pr. Still Hans.
 "As for the victims of the malady, occupational therapy is of benefit, it has been found. Kindness and encour- agement put hope into their hearts and their condition improves as consequence. Because leprosy in it's early stages Is not recognizable in port of entry examinations of i'm migrants, the problem of it's control is a problem for the whole world"
 He concludes by saying: Could the nations cease wasting wealth and en- eFgy in wars against one another and present united front against the common enemies of the human race, leprosy would certainly be con- Quered."

Senator Willis Makes RouS- ing Appeal For Republicans
 To Get Beind Coolidge
Fly RAYMOND CHAPTER Leased Wire to The Age-Herald)

WASHINGTON. Sept. S--Republican attention has suddenly centered on the question of the 1924 nomination, and the uncertainty is further height ened by the position of Governor Pin chot of Pennsylvania as a result of his settlement of the anthracite strike. These developments marked a day of unusual political discussion here:
 i. Emergence of Governor Pinchot as a possible candidate for the repub- lican presidential nomination due to his strike settlement
 2. An appeal to all republicans to get behind coolidge for the nomina- tion made by Senator Willis of Ohio after a call at the White House.
 3. A statement by Fred Starek, a director of the war finance corpora tion, declaring that Coolidge, to be nominated, must stand on his record as President and not try to shape pc litical sentiment to his advantage.
 By defeating the Pennsylvania or ganization in fight for the guber- material nomination 8 wear ago Pin chot drew national attention to his fighting qualities. Now, by bringing the anthracite strike to & prompt end he becomes one of the central person alities in the republican situation. His Rooseveltian flavor also becomes il timely advantage because of the pro- gressive tendency revealed in recent off-year elections.
 Senator Willis, who placed Harding in nomination at Chicago in 1920 emerged from Coolidge's office Friday with rousins appeal to republicans There was nothing to indicate whether his utterance. had the ap- prova! of the executive.
 Let republicans everywhere put aside factionalism and personal ambi- tions and unite solidly behind Presi dent Coolidge" Willis said. With united support his administration will succeed and republican triumph in 1924 be assured.
 Rival candidates and favorite son pride would divide republicans and endanger success. Hold to the Hard ing policies, promote republican solid arity and keep Calvin Coolidge in the White House"
 There was somewhat different tone to the statement issued by Di- rector StarelI of the war finance cor poration. He was a close personal and political associate of President Harding, who appointed him to Iris present office. After a conference earlier in the week al tfre White House. Starek issued his statement declaring that Coolidge should eschew politics and stick to his executive duties

 rage was committed under the cir cumstances attending the staying of the Italians directly involves the responsibility of the state in the ter ritory of which 1t took place."
 Taking into consideration the Greek governments declaration of it's willingness to accept and make all reparations deemed equitable by the ambassado in the event it's re- sponsibihties were demonstrated, the council rules that as the outrage was of an entirely political character and perpetrated upon persons entrusted with an official mission by the am bassadors council, such responsibil- ity Is greatly involved, since the Greek government was bound to in- sure the safety of the commissioners.
 The ambassadors warn Greec3 that it will be held responsible for the safety of the commission of inquiry which is proceeding to the scene Of the murders, and that she must give it all facilities and assistance in it's task and defray its expenses. The council has requested the Albanian government, should the commission work necessitate it's entering Al banian territory, to take similar measures of protection and assist ance.

lest continued disrespect for this law lead to more or less general dis respect for all laws.
 It is understood here that the president, despite. the rather optl- mistic attitude of MT. Haynes, ad- heres to the idea that there is en- tirely too much disrespect for the prohibition statutes, and it Is said to be certain that he will not pa tiently hear reports that in this or that state enforcement Is 100 or even 75 per cent perfect. The president expects what is described as a rath- CT sombre picture.
 Program Of Education.
 Mr. Haynes has a program which he hopes the president will ask the various governors to put into effect in their states. Essentially, 1t is a program of education although pri- marily it will be regarded as an ap- peal to the man and woman of posi- tion to set an example for others to follow.
 It will be suggested that the gov- ernors appeal to the people in the first place to observe the law, and if they cannot do so because of the law, to do so because of the inferi- leggers and sold to the unwary at fabulous prices. In the second place, the governors will be asked to set aside a day or days for gatherings of educators, temperance societies. dhurch organizations, and ladies clubs in which plans might be dis cussed and adopted for the better enforcement of the law as result of aggressive campaigns by citizens committees.
 Mr. Haynes holds and the president agrees, it Is understood, that if ruch campaigns are organized in the prin- ciple cities and towns of all the states on the same day great good will result. It is held entirely prob able that all the governors, when appealed to, will act accordingly. Smuggling widespresd.
 It is the information of the presi- dent that no particular section of the country is more an offender re- specting prohibition that any other section. Great ports on the Atlantic distribution by smuggling. The same is true regarding South Atlantic and Gulf ports, it is charged. The north is served by Canadians who cross the limitless borders, and the same is said to be true of that vast ter ritory which touches Mexico. In ad- 6ition, "moonshining" is general. The southern institution, it appears, has spread into other sections until the south has no longer monopo- ly, or a touch" in preparation "all it's own"
 The president wants to appeal to New York which has abandoned CO., operative enforcement with the gov ernment of the United States. and to other commonwealths which threaten to follow the example; and to the south, where 1t is said mas ter minds" are conducting a billion dollar business of which the recent expose in Savannah was an example.

ALL MONTHS MAKE WHEAT DECLINES NEW HIGH MARKS ON NEW FIGURES IN COTTON MART ON CANADA CROP

CHICAGO, Sept. s.--surprise at as- sertlons that the three prairie pro- vinces of Canada would harvest 7S, 900, 900 bushels more wheat this sea son than year ago, led to a mod crate today in Chicago prices for wheat. Closing quotations were un settled, ss to B cents net lower, with December $1.06A to $1.06ss and May $1.1th to $1.115s. Corn finished at a range varying from A decline pro- visions cents to 20 cents up.
 At first the majority of wheat traders here were inclined to ignore the new estimate regarding the 1928 production of wheat in Canada, ths fresh forecast being upward of 100,- 100000 bushels more wheat this sea son than year ago, led to a moder- ate decline today in Chicago prices for here increased, however, when Win nipeg quotations showed material setback. Commission house buying developed on the ensuing downturn in prices, but rallies failed to last.
 Prospects of a moderate increase of the United States visible supply total on Monday had some bearish ef- rect on the wheat market as the day drew to an end. On the other hand it was pointed out that ship ments of wheat from Chicago this week have exceeded the receipts and that in all markets wheat for im- mediate delivery is selling at a pre- mium over transfers to be made In the future. Bulls contended also that Europe would be less of a burden than many feared and that the pres ent price level has discounted the Canadian crop in full.
 Corn and oats were easiAr with wheat, except that the September delivery of corn displayed strength as a result of scantiness of receipts and of rural offerings to arrive.
 Provisions ascended in line with hog values.
