NEW YORK, June 2S-Far be it

one to favor Senator Ralston for
President, but
If Ralston is nominated, Taggart
promises to give the first national
pawpaw banquet in the history of
the world out along the Wabash to
defeated candidates OF both parties,
the Democratic national committee and
the newspaper men covering the con-
vention.
One reason for the feast will be to
show his appreciation, but the more
important one will be to make the
pawpaw known nationally. Taggart
mas been amazed and panied since
coming to New York to find that the
paWpaw, commonly known as the
"Hoosier banana" has not been eaten
by most folks in these parts. He

The standard bearer who waved
the gonfalon of Virginia from the
platform after the nomination of
Carter Glass wore tub silk of
plaid the sole break in the lines of
which was furnished by a panel of
pleats on either hip. With this she
wore a cloche of white and blue
grosgrain silk. dainty organdie collar
and wonderful old Paisley shawl
which must have been about six
times the age of the shoulders it
covered.
Suits Missing.
Among the older women the simple
straight Lanvin green silk crepe
dress worn by Mrs. Carroll Miller
Of Pennsylvania, whose speech sec
onding AL Smith threw the conven-
out as eminently appropriate. Its
material sofetned it's simple lines and
blended remarkably with the speak
er's gray hair and charming smile.
Suits at the convention were re-
markable by their absence. The
weather seldom made them thor
oughly appropriate and the delegates
evidently felt that the days when an
aggressive demand for an equal foot
ing with men in business and politics

gone by. The notable exceptions
were several newspaper women who
impressed on all observers that they
were there on business.
Frocks of the convention visitors
at the evening functions were of in
finite variety, but one Of the most
charming noticed was worn by a
woman of perhaps thirty. 1t was OF
beaded net over silver tissue, the
beads arranged in horizontal panels
through one of which was passed a
girdle of pink silk ribbon gathered
in a huge bow at the left hip. The
frock was long, within seven inches
of the ground. and was extremely
decollete, with a deep wide neck
line and bead shoulder straps.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-By their
gloves ye shall know them. The na-
tional Democratic convention here
made it obvious to the most unob-
servant how universally we'll dressed
are the women of all sections of this
country. The state delegations from
far and near were dotted with well
and the New York stylist and de-
signers found little they could show
that was new and strange to the
visitors.
But apparently every convention
delegate and visitor of the feminine
persuasion signalized her arrival in
New York by buying one or more
pairs OF short gloves. surmounted by
a ruff1e or a row of petals about the
wrist. These they wore with grim
determination through rain and hail,
demonstrations, bursts of applause,
wavings of banners and every other
function of the convention which did
not involve food.
In some cases a combination of fat
bare arm and short tight glove was
remiscent of youthful attacks of
hives or poison ivy, when scratching
was interdict.
Good Taste Governs.
It was remarkable the extent to
which these prominent women of
the nation let suitability and good
taste govern their choice Of costumes.
On days this week when Madison
Square Garden was sitting oven
frocks Of tub silks of charming SIM
plicity and attractive designs ruled
favorite. The majority were made in
the prevailing straight simple sill
houette, some without semblance of
waist line, but cool looking and at
tractive. This was varied by some
of the older political leaders. for the
slim lines are scarcely applicable to
the battle monument and Spanish.

The Silzer demonstration wasn't
as big as Smiths or McAdoo's, but 1t
was pretty good while 1t lasted. The
Jersey Glee Club scampered UP to the
stage and pleased the good natured
convention crowd with their Silzer
songs. The name of the Jersey Gov

Then an elderly Jerseyite with a full
set Of real whiskers started to run
about the hall and put a little to-
basco into the Silzer boom. When he
reached the Maine delegation he
called out what's the matter with
you fellers. Don't you know a band

AS soon as Silzer had been put in

Chicago, Jan 9.--Whiie no two Of the six billion strokes made annually by America's 2,OO0. .O00 golfers are exactly alike, manufacturers of golf clubs and balls have made it possible to test the precise power Of a club and the distance a ball will travel from any given swing, and machines are busy in proving the material Of the links for 1924.
 When the subject of steel shafted clubs came up Il couple of years ago. the Western Golf association, with president Albert F. Gates of Chicago supervising, had them tested annual ly by experts, but it was apparent to on-lookers that the strokes were not mathematically alike. for the balls all landed at different spots.
 Sinethat time. driving machine has been perfected, and a club fast ened in its clutches swings just the same time after time.
 The steel shafts do not drive the ball any further. but when the bal is hit on the toe or heel of the club, the ball does not hook or slice so much as when the same stroke is made with a hickory shaft,

Therefore Goes Down To Defeat, Score 23-13, At Hands of Mid

Failing to show any offensive power the New Britain Trade school team was defeated by Middletown high school last evening By 2S-1S score. On few occasions were the locals able to break through the defense of the lads from down the river and on most of these the ball rolled around and out. On the other hand Middletown was able to flash several offensive drives, especially in the last half, with effective results. The game was just started when Montaine dropped a pretty field goal. It was nip and tuck from then on with the first half ending 9-7 with Middletown on the long end. Middletown's offense taffled the locals for the third quar- ter. but in the final period the game ran on even terms once more. For Middletown Montaine at center was a tower of strength, consistently out jumping the local pivot man, and he was ably assisted by Delaney Sand CTS, n newcomer on the Trade School quintet, showed excellent form until removed by personals. Baker and Capt. Anderson played their usual strong defensive game. John Tobin refereed the game in highly eff cient manner. In the preliminary tho West Ends defeated the Trade school seconds ls-s.
