SMITH GAIN SEEN
. BY M'ADO0 CHIEFS
Governor, However, Never
Can Grasp Over 470 Votes,
His Opponents Hold.
By the Associated Press


NEW YORK, July 3.-That the
Smith forces have not shown their
full strength was admitted today by
McAdoo leaders, who insisted that
since the balloting has been in prog
ress for three full days, the dele
gates could ask fairly that the New
Yorker show his hand, and, if he does
not make a sufficient showing, retire
from the race.
Some of the McAdoo men predicted
| that the Smith vote would not go over
47O. While the Smith drive is on.
they said, the McAdoo forces will be
satisfied to hold their lines and await
developments. So far the Smith
drive has been held in allegiance un-
der orders
An analysis of the first three days
| or balloting made today by one of
the McAdoo leaders emphasizes the
| elements he sees in the convention
making for tight deadlock, which,
| IL Is thought by some, only can be
solved when both sides find the tangle
hopeless and decide that a conference
| OF leaders is necessary to point the
way to nomination.
Long Deadlock Seen.
This leader said the situation could
be shown in cold figures. Add, he
said. the votes in any ballot of can
didates favored by the so-calIed "wets
and reactionaries" and then total the
votes Of the "drys and progressives'
| and it will be found that the totals
are about even. In the group of "wets
and reactionaries" the McAdoo leader
placed Smith, Underwood and Davis
and in the other group McAdoo, Glass
and Ralston, while he divided between
the two groups the sixty votes given
| to Cox.
1t Is this evenly balanced grouping,
| ne thinks, that makes for long
deadlock, which Norman E Mack has
said would not reach a solution until
after the Fourth of July.
There was report today that the
Smith forces, if they should reach an
lmpasse, might give Underwood
trial. Underwood adherents through
out have maintained a hopeful and
even confident attitude despite the
fact that the balloting has added no
strength to the Underwood standard.

FARMERS LOSE ON STOCK.
Western Conditions Pointed Out to
Virginians by q. S. Experts.

BRISTOL, Va, July g. Studies
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture from detailed re-.
ports covering about fifty-tive cattle
ranches in Colorado. New Mexico and
Oklahoma, for 1922, show it cost
prairie ranchmen an actual cash out
lay of s27.ss to produce a. calf which
sold on the ranch for s21.50, accord
ing to an official bulletin received
here from Washington.
These figures are of interest in
southwest Virginia, owing to the cat
tie industry here.
Prairie ranches thus lost s6.4S
per calf and mountain ranches s6.6s
per calf In addition to this loss. the
ranch proprietors received no interest
on their investment and no return for
their own labor.
production costs differed widely
on the ranches studied. One ranch
with calf crop of 20 per cent, had a
gross cost per calf of $3.50: while
another ranch, which had a calf crop
of only 36 per cent, had gross cost
per calf of $66.12. Methods of man
aging the breeding herd were largely
responsible for this difference in cost.
In general, the size of the calf crop,
the winter feed bill and the labor cost
were the factors having the most in
fiuence on the cost of calf production.

Although farm workers decreased
per cent in the last ten years, crop
production increased about 13 per
cent in the same period.

UNPAID HOTEL BILLS
MAY SETTLE CONTEST
Delegates Study Figures Thought
fully After Two-Week Stay
in Metropolis.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Hotel bills
are working for everybody in the
Democratic presidential contest in
Madison Square Garden, adherents of
all candidates agreed today as the
balloting approached the breaking
point.
The mounting bills received the
thoughtful consideration of scores of
delegates. and in many quarters of
the hall the subject had taken its place
beside the issues of the convention.
From scattered sections came the
suggestion that the cost of living
might do more to break the deadlock
than the most earnest pleadings of
the floor managers of the candidates.
Today was the tenth since the con-
vention assembled. Many of the dele
gates already have been in the city
two full weeks.

Deserving Parade
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Many who
still believed with Henry Van
Dyke that woman's participation
in politics gave the country only
twice as much of the same thing"
witnessed an incident around the
New York banner in the conven-
tion hall yesterday which con-
vinced them that at last the de-
corum of the demonstration is
made more exacting by the fem
mime presence.
When wild and protracted
demonstrat ton began to lose some
of it's woman participants. the
floor managers of the candidate
favored by the enthusiastic out
breakt were perturbed and began
to seek the cause. They cheered
for their man louder than ever
and finally signaled for the band
to offer a march, but it was of no
avail. The women quit the party.
When the tumultuous gather
ing thinned, a kindly old gentle
man from South Carolina took the
marchers' leader to one side,
placed his arm around his neck
and whispered earnestly.
Pardon me, brother" he said,
but your shirt is slightly out"

ORIGIN OF HANDKERCHIEF.
Seems to Have Been Known in
Remote Ages.

From the Omaha World Herald.
1t is difficult to assign q period and
country OF origin to the handerker
chief. But it seems to have been
known in remote ages, and traces OF ii
are to be found among the Egyptians
On the contrary. strange as II may
seem. the Greeks appear not to have
used handkerchiefs and it would have
been considered very improper to
the perspiratlon from ones forehead
or face.
Passing from the Greeks to the Ro-
mans. We find that the latter had
something of the kind which they
called "sudarium" (sudor, sweat).
1t was of the finest lace, and was
used chiefly as an ornament and as
a fan during the games in the circus;
it max thus be considered as the fore
father of the handkerchief. For many
centuries afterward there is no mention
of handkerchiefs, and we find only
traces of them about 1850 in Italy.
1t appears that one day a Venetian
lady of the nobility. possibly to wipe
off the perspiration. cut a piece OF
linen in an oval shape and trimmed II
with a border of the finest fringe.
When the other Venetian grand ladies
saw her on the public promenade.
provided with this new piece of ele-
gance, they initiated her. and the
handkerchief came into existence. 1t
passed over the frontier. was adopted
abroad, and became the rage at the
court of Henry ii. 1t Is curious that
for many years the handkerchief was
round and oval. and it was not till the
time of Louis XVI that it became
square.
