ELECTION BETS ON WALL STREET
 A BARE MILLION
Coolidge Odds Rise To 10 To 1, With 25 To 1
 Against La Toilette

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-At the close of businessc in Wall Street today, one million dollars reposed in the laps of betting commissioners, representing wagers that have been put up on the outcome of Tuesdays voting in New York and the nation.
 In the finnacial district, where men reputedly toss away millions in the in terval between their 10 o'clock break fast and lunch, there is some tendency to apologize for this figure. It repre- ,ents the seasons election betting in these parts and is smaller than might be expected, the stakeholders explain. because there has been less betting in this election than in any other presi- Lential contest in years. It IS ex- plained that Davis money has been shy and the odds on President Coolidge have risen to practically prohibitive figures.
 How Odds Stand
 At closing time the odds were: Ten to one on Coolidge, 25 to l against La Toilette and two to one on Governor Smith to win in New York.
 According to the firm of J. S. Fried and company, the greater part of the million dollars is represented by wagers sn the gubernatorial contest in New York and by freak" bets of various descriptions.
 Practically all the Davis money in evidence at the close of the week, &C., eording to Fried, came from people who lad bet on President Coolidge early in the campaign at the then prevailing odds of 2 1-2 to 1 and 3 to 1 and who were desirous of hedging on the present big odds on the republican candidate.
 Coolidge Money Unlimited
 There was unlimited money to bet on Coolidge, and the odds of ten to one gre said to be the highest odds ever offered on a presinetial candidate three days before the election.
 Fried and company, reported having, smong others, the following commits sions to place on the presidential race: Seven to one that the selection of a president will not be thrown into con- Eress by reason of a deadlock even yloney that he will carry it by 65O. 900 votes, and 3 to 1 that Coolidge will harry California.
 In addition to the foregoing, the [ commissioners had money to place at ,dls of s to ($16,000 against $10,- DO0) that both President Coolidge and Governor Smith will be elected, and were offering odds of 2 1-2 to 1 that Davis will obtain larger popular vote fhan La Toilette.
 f5 25 to Against La Toilette
 Odds against the Wisconsin senator icing the next president were 25 to 1 it the close, against 10 to 1 earlier the week, with no takers. The big conservative party victory in England and the resembling of La Follette's en- Iorsement by certain labor organiza- tions here were responsible for these litherto unheard of odds against any presidential candidate considered as having even remote chance of cleo ion.
 While money to bet on Roosevelt to 1e elected governor of New York state vas coming into Wall Street in some volume at the end of the week, there .,as still great prepnderance of Smith ash.
 Fried and company have $10,000 to iet against $5,OO0 that Ma" Ferguson oill be elected governor of Texas and 10000 even that she will win by 25,- : 0 yotes

CANADIAN SUING
 FOR 70 GLASS EYES
Claims They Will Be Necessary
 During Remainder Of Life


 SASKATOON, Sask., Nov 2.-On the strength of his clients statement that he would need seventy-two glass eyes at $1O each during the estimated re- naming years of his life, counsel for Harry Sytnyk of this city, who is suing for damages from the Canadian Pacific Railway for the loss of an eye while in the service of the road, asked the judge to allow heavier damages than the $1 000 already paid into court by the railway.
 In standardization of Sytnyk's claim evidence of three physicians was pres tented to the effect that the average glass eye must be replaced every six months because abrasiOns caused by grit between the eye and the eyelid make 1t uncomfortable for the wearer.

Jean Patou plays a prom inent part in American women's fashions. The great est a b Ii s h m ent which he heads in Paris probably dresses more smart American women than any other French house. For this reason his message will be of in- terest.

First he speaks of
 the silhouette

"The silhouette, to my idea, should be alive on the woman who wears it. When design a costume, I plan it for the many moments in which the wearer moves as we'll as for those in which she stands still. And that is why I introduce the dress that is straight in repose and that flares when it is in motion. "The skirts are short. Yes-they are more graceful when they are short. Again it is the short skirt that can dance its way through the day and the eve ming"

woman. When she throws back her coat or her cape, in the day time, or in the evening, wher- ever she is, she is complete. The costume of the woman who is chic is complete, always. I think of my dresses when l plan my coats. What is the link-the liason-between them? That de- bends. Sometimes it is the color, sometimes the material, sometimes the details"

Patou gives bis theory of jeweIry

"In jewelry-as in all things-I admire all that is beautiful. And if the jewelry goes beautifully with the gown, then it is beau tiful also. That is why follow the fantasy of pearls in color. They add, do they not, to the effect of the costume? And they do not attempt to be what they are not. They do not pretend that they have value. For that reason, they are of good taste for any woman to wear"

MADDEN ABLE
 TO GET ABOUT
Wasn't Really Hurt, Says Victim
 Of RenauIt; Just Battered

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-After week ef seclusion and recuperatiOn, Bartley Madden, who played the role of the victim in the recent New York pro- duction of ''The Massacre" was able to walk to the cOroner's office Monday and thumb his nose derisively. It may be recalled that Jack Renault, who played opposite Madden in the pro duction, was so realistic in his work that the police were undecided whether to send for the ambulance or the hearse at the end of the entertainment.
 Madden said he intended to sail for Ireland soon and enjoy himself amid the restful atmosphere of revolutionary shOotings and social homicides.
 Ireland will seem very pleasant to me after my recent experiences with Mr. Harry Wills and MT. Jack Re- nault," he said. But I'll be back to challenge Jack Dempsey in the fall. The stories about my injuries were exaggerated. I was not really laid up. I just stayed indoors because was afraid that if I went on the street with my face the hospitals wouldn't be able to take care of the fainting wom- en-"
 For some days after the fight, it might be explained, MT. Madden's face looked as though it had been run through the button-crusher in a steam laundry.

CRACKERS BAT
 HARD TO ROMP BarOns Drop Twenty Ninth Of Last Thirty
 Six Games

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 18.-Discov- ering that the offerings of three Bir- mingham pitchers were very much to their liking, the Crackers launched an attack that hal the visitors helpless and rang up their eighth consecutive win yesterday by 12-to-1 score.
 Good, Rufus Clarke and Walker were the trio of the visiting hurlers to be pounded during the contest and the locals scored at will from the first inning until enough innngs had been played to constitute a game.
 While the crackers were slugging their way nearer to Memphis, which was enjoying an off day Hollis Me Laughlin was holding the Barons in check without very much trouble. He allowed only six scattered hits during the course of the afternoon, while the BarOns only counter came on q double, an infield out, and a wild pitch. He kept the remainder of the Barons hits scattered and was never in danger.
 The victory ., yesterday gives the Crackers a clean sweep of the four games series with the BarOns.
 Ben Pascal led the Cracker offense with three hits and three runs of three official times at bat. Johnny Brock garnered a trio of safe knocks out of four trips. Burrus, Hills and Kreh- meyer secured a couple. The Barons hits were divided through the team.
 The Crackers also turned in another errorless game, played in pam-up style, the Barons had a couple of costly bob bles charged to them in the second in- ming which contributed to the Crackers run getting in this frame.
 Little else remains to be told about the affair except how the runs were score. The Crackers started out in the first inning with six counters.
