HIS FAITH IN HIS GOODS
Factory Manager Wears Bullet-PrOOf
 Vest In demonstrations

He is 33 years old, near-sighted and mild-mannered and might be taken TOT a bookkeeper, yet he probably has had more bullets fired at him than any doughboy who served in the World war. He's been hit approximately two thou sand times-he hasn't kept count-from a little .22-caliber revolver up to the big pistols used in the United States army. The police have done most of the firing, though army officers have also done their part. No, Bernard Spooner, a Brooklyn resident, isn't criminal.
 For two years he has been demon strator for concern that makes bullet proof, vests, he's factory manager now and it has been his duty to put on one of the 9-pound contrivances, set himself and let the skeptical blaze away at him with any available weapon.
 My job is no harder than that of q baseball catcher" said Spooner. q know no bullet can pierce the vest be rause I helped make it. l have found that the one who is to fire at me is al ways more nervous than l. Often have te steady the hand of my "assail

FRANCE KISSED SHAW
And "The MoIiere Of EngIand Cctu'
 ally Returned ACcOlade

The reception of Anatole France by the Fabian society, London, l9l5, LOOK plact at the Suffolk galleries. Bernard Shaw was in the chair.
 When Anatole France rose to make his speech, he began with customary "Mesdames ct Messieurs," and then, turning to Bernard Shaw, he added with bow and a smile. let le Moliere d' d'Angleterre !" When France had fin ished there came eulOgistic OratlonS from Shaw, Keir IIardie and II. II. uyndman. Anatole France then rose to reply.
 When he had finished his discourse there was enacted strange, indeed q unique, incident AnatOle France iS not, in the ordinary sense, accounted a man of action, but on this histroic occa- sion ne performed deed so startling, so dazzling that in one brief moment he may be said to have redeemed the physical inertia ot d lifetime.
 Advancing with outstretched hands towards "the Moliere of England" he flung his arms about his neck and i'm printed kiss upon each of his blushing
 heekS. If a thunderbolt had crashed upon the stage it could not have created greater wonderment than cid the scarce 1 ly audible impact of this unprecedented osculatiOn.

For Battle of Ballots

Dental nomination of Governor AL
fred E. Smith of New York. by the
Democratic national convention. as
serted tonight their readiness to test
strength with other candidates and
begin balloting as soon as the party
platform has been adopted by the
convention.
Developments of the day have
been most encouraging" Franklin D.
Roosevelt, manager of the Smith
campaign, said. I'VE have received
pledges of support from some of the
south and southwestern delegations"
Mr.. Roosevelt denied that he or
any of the Smith workers had at
tempted to barter" for support. or
had promised to throw their strength
to candidates put forward for the
vice presidency in return for Smith
support.
"Such reports are utter rubbish"
Mr.. Roosevelt said.
Governor Smith attended church
service early today and later was
engaged for a brief while with callers
at his hotel headquarters.
Both Governor Smith and Mr..
Roosevelt said they realized that with
the conclusion of the nominating
addresses, their campaign entered
into the critical stage. The Smith
forces anticipate a possible test of
strength with adversaries over the
Ku Klux Khan issue during the plat
form discussions.
