 Reviewing that record in some detail, particularly with reference to the leas7 ing of the naval oil reserves and the handling of the reclamation problem, the democratic presidential candidate said he wished to keep constantly be- fore the people of the United States the question of party government and party responsibility.
 Unless political parties can De held to strict account" he declared, party government itself is base imposition and fraud.'
 Charges Broken Promises. Accusing the Republican party of having broken most q the promises made to the American r%s- ple four years ago, Mir. Davis laid particular emphasis on the subject of conservation and re- clamation, as those striking closest to the people in this section.
 -Four years ago the Republican party. declared itself the fast friend of conservation and reclamation" he said. "What sort of conservator it proved to be we know, also too well"

 kee Attack On Reds
(By Associated Press)

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Sept. 11.--Ths La Toilette independent candidacy wat attacked here in it's recognized strong hold tonight by Charles G. Dawes, re- publican vice presidential nominee, as "the quintessance of demagogism, ani- mated by the vicious purpose of under mining the constitutional foundation of this republic"
 Speaking in the Milwaukee audito- rum, Mir. Dawes declared that 'in the mass of clap-trap accompanying the La Toilette effort we can see one steady purpose always in mind-the attack on the Constitution. of the United States" and it was to this attack that Mir. Dawes devoted most of his attention.
 The republican nominee described Senator La Toilette as "the master demagog"; warned against any party attempting to take a position in the halfway ground between ,'those who favor the Constitution of the United States and. those who would destroy it's essential parts"; declared this di- vision to be the greatest issue of the campaign, and appealed to the voters of Wisconsin to decide the issue ''by full vote of the registered voters not by the fractional vote which, fol the last four years, has been cast in Wisconsin" t
 Mir. Dawes said he recognized that there were in the country "many men who are justly discontented but whu are patriotic at heart"
 "They may be opposed to certain things in the existing order, but they are not opposed to the existing order of things" he added. II warn them that they should not be deceived by

 STATE PENITENTIARY, JOLIET, H., Sept. 11.-Saved from death on the gallows by judicial mercy, Nathan Leo pold, Jr., and Richard Loeb tonight had their second mar row escape in as many days when the automobile bearing them here from Chicago to ex- plate the murder of young Robert Franks, careened off the road while going 35 miles an hour and plunged on the unballasted tracks of the Chi cago and Joliet electric rail- way.
 The sons of Chicago million aires, handcuffed to their guards, escaped death or se- rious injury when the big au- tomobile jolted down the track | for some 30 feet and came to a halt. The jump off the road was taken by the driver rather than risk colliding, with an other machine. TlN accident occurred 20 miles out of Chi cago near Argo, III.
 Their identity eloaked in the obscur- ity of two prison numbers-93O5 and 9306, the boys a short time after fac ing death two times in two days passed through the changing gates of the state penitentiary. They ended what pos sibly may be their last automobile ride much of the nonchalance and bravadO that carried them through a stormy court hearing to save them from the moose.
 Showed Inside Gate
 The big car in which they rode pulled up to the main entrance of the state penitentiary, dozen armed guards with rifles appeared from mo- where and lined the path through which they were to pass, deputy sher ifs from other cars ran to the youths automobile and they were whisked into the prison without ceremony.
 Before a crowd of more than a hun dred newspapermen and curious persons realized what had happened, the slay- CTS were showed through an iron gate into the record keepers office, Sheriff Peter NJ. Hoffman of Cook county handed commitment papers and state ments of the case to Warden John l.. Whitman, the warden handed back receipt and the boys were kept moving through another iron door and into the prison proper.
 Here they were met by guards and taken to court solitary" where ill sep aratc cells all incoming prisoners spend their first night in the pen. They were stripped of all clothing and handed prison garb by Captain c. A. Bigford and to him they said the only words that were uttered by them after they passed through the iron gates.
 Not So Bad"
 "Well, this isn't such bad place after all," Loeb remarked to the cap tain, glancing appraisingly about the bare walls of court solitary" Leopold nodded but said nothing.
 The party was travelling 50 miles an

Ten thousand marchers, instead of six thousand, may take part in Birming- hams Defense Test Day parade Friday afternoon.
 Already indOrsed sponsored by every civic, patriotic and fraternal organiza- tion in Birmingham, the Defense Day movement has gained momentum daily, and Thursday it became apparent that Birmingham is going lover the top again in response to a call upon its patriotism.
 | There will be thousands. of volunteer marchers besides those who are mem bers of organizations sponsoring specific military units. There will be a place in the plrade for every man, woman and child who wants to march, but men of military age-between the ages of IS and 45-are particularly desired.
 The head of the parade will form at Seventh avenue and Eighteenth street. It will march south on Eighteenth street to Sixth avenue, east on sixth avenue to Nineteenth street, south on Nineteenth street to Twentieth street. then north on Twentieth street 60 Woodrow Wilson park, where the pa rade will disband.
 No parking of automobiles will be allowed on Nineteenth and Twentieth streets between First annd Sixth ave nues, beginning at o'clock in the morning.
 The purpose of National Defense Test Day is to try out General Per shing's plan of national mobilization for an emergency. The war department will gauge Birmingham's patriotism by the response to this call for one-day volunteer marchers. There is no ob- l ligatiOn upon any marcher beyond his presence in the parade.
 Under the Pershing plan, Birming- ham would send 10 the cOlOrs 3S4 off cers and $500 men--eight units of Ma tional Guardmen and forty units of re- serves-if the national safety demanded it. These would be Birmingham troops enlisted in Birmingham companies, commanded by Birmingham officers. The Defense Test parade will demon strate this fact. All in excess of D. 800 who march will represent the city's reserve of manpower.
 Parade To Be COlOrful
 The parade will be a colorful one. All ex-service men who have uniforms will wear them, and all fraternal CT ganizations will turn out in their uni forms and insignia. There will be numerous bands. Airplanes of the Goth Observation squadron will fly along the line of march, anG every other branch of the military establishment will be represented.
 The parade will be composed of six divisions. The first, will include the grand marshal, Co, T. 0. Smith aud staff, Col. T. S. Moorman and staff, Congressman W. B. Oliver, the guest of

 THREATEN TO QUIT
Pennsylvania Officers Demand
 Disciplinary Measures

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11.-Fifty of the seventy guards in the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary declared in a petition up for consideration by the board of trustees today that they would resign on September 15 unless discip- linary measures were adopted in the prison that would not be ridiculed by the prisoners as the 'creampuff va riety."
 The petition declared guard in the penitentiary must sacrifice every atom of principle and manhood if he elects to remain in the service. He must sub init to the brazen insolence and effront- tery of the inmates on the one hand, and the humiliating ignominy of not being supported by his Superiors on the others"

Every child has the right to a strong,

the small boys and girls who go troop

have started on a climb that will last
nearly a quarter of century. And
while it is true that they must triple
their initial weight in single year, it
il also true that they must increase 1t
10 or 10 times more before they attain
adult stature" says Mary Swartz Rose,
an authority on child feeding.
The requisites for good growth are
plenty of fresh air, sleep, exercise and
foOd-and the last is the most import
ant factor. for IL is from food that
the child gets, not only energy for
body building, but the materials from
which to build. Consequently. foods
for energy and growth are most essen

elements found in foods that build
are iron, calcium, phosphorus and nj

except iron. Therefore. it should con
