men appeared before the police COM.

NJ 'ADO0 WILL
ARRIVE SOON
At NEW YORK
Possibility Of Abrogating the
thirds Rule Governing
Nominations Discussed
UP TO M'AD00 FORCES
Smith Actively Engaged with
His Campaign to Win
Nomination Honors
UP TO M'ADoo FORCES

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE possi-
bility of abrogating the time-hon-
ored two-thirds rule governing the
nomination of candidates by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention con-
tinues today to be the most discussed
topic among the leaders and dele
gates already assembled here.
1t is generally believed that un-
less a move for a discontinuance
of the rule comes from the McAdoo
Z forces, the procedure which has peen
followed in the Democratic gather
ings since the days of Andrew Jack
son will be followed in the coming
eof3clase. Fsf
The arrival tomorrcw OF William
q. McAdoo to lead his convention
forces may result in a definite an
nouncement as to his attitude.
The sentiment of the McAdoo men
already here on this question was de-
seribed last night by Judge David
Ladd Rockwell, Mr.. McAdoo's man
ager, as follows:
"The friends of Mr.. McAdoo did
not start the agitation for the abro-
CATION of the two-thirds rule. George
E. Brennan is entitled to that dis
tinction. The McAdoo men are mere
ly passive about it. We shall not
object il Mr.. Brennan and his fol-
lowers start a drive to do away with
the rule, which everyone admits IS
archaic. and out of harmony with
the spirit of Democracy. The Re-
publicans operate under a majority
rule"
Although no definite statement has
come from the Smith camp as to
their attitude on this question 1t is
asserted by his followers that he pre-
fers to abide by the present proceed
ure and his forces are optimistic as
to their chances of defeating any at
tempt to bring about a change.
Despite the fact that close friends
of Homer S. Cummings, of Connecti-
cut. declared that he was not a can
didate for the chairmanship of the
rules committee it was freely pre-
dicted by well-informed observers
and leaders today that he would be
drafted for the post.
In order to be assured of greater
radio audience, the speech OF the
chairman of the conven-
don, usually delivered in the after
noon, will be postponed until the
first night of the convention. Relays
will be established in various parts
OF the country for the benefit of
those with SnOTL range receiving Sets.
1t was announced that Indiana and
Illinois delegates led by Taggart and
Brennan. respectively, will begin ar
riying today. John w. Davis, Carter
Glass, Oscar w. Underwood and
other candidates for the nomination
are expected to establish their head
quarters at various hotels before the
end of this week.
While McAdoo leaders reiterated
statements that the McAdoo forces
would make no convention fight for
the abrogation of the two-thirds
-ule, it was admitted that Governor
w. J. Fields of Kentucky would
come to the convention prepared to
make an aggressive fight for the
majority proposal. Governor Fields
will be here at the head of the
McAdoo- INSTRUCTED delegation from
his own state.
It also was said that the Texas
delegation, also for McAdoo. would
come here committed to rule pro-

1t will take about two days to COM
plete the connection of the new
trunk line sewer in Market street,
City Engineer Lsu,s P. Booz, Jr,,
said today when asked how much
longer the street will have to be
closed. Mr.. Booz said Il had not
been the intention of the contractor
to close this street to traffic at all,
but two large water mains and two
gas mains which the excavator came
in contact with after they had dug
down a few feet below the surface of
the street, made it necessary to open
more of the street at one time than
was at first anticipated.
The work will be completed and
the street opened in time for the
heavy traffic over the weekend.

To Wash Frocks w 1t h 0 u
 F a din g

THOSE bright colored frocks that
 are so fashionable this summer can
 be washed without fading if you take the precaution to set the colors before they are laundered. If you make the dresses yourself this can be done before making them up.
 If the material is green or lavender, soak it at least 15 minutes in vinegar and water, using about two gallons of cold water to which has been added half cupful of strong vinegar.
 Salt and water will set black and black and white, and issequally good for other colors. Use four tablespoon fuls of salt to one gallon of water and soak the fabrics 10 minutes. A little turpentine should be added to the salted water if the colors are blue or pink.
 A mixture of orgall and water s used by many housewives to set grays and browns, but soaking these colored fabrics in the vinegar and water solu- tions for 10 minutes will effectually set the colors.
 Some laundresses prefer alum, two ounces to a tub of water, to set green, pink, red or lavender.
 If you set the colors as suggested and use reasonable care in washing, such as washingin in tepid water (hot water takes out color) rinsing in cold water

watched long enough to feel sure that he will run no risk.
 For long time Redtail had resisted the Tempter. Then very early one morning as he sailed over a farmyard he saw an old hen with a dozen little white chickens right beneath him. They were very tiny chickens, only a few days out of their shells. Redtail had not breakfasted yet and he was hungry. Those chickens were very, very tempting. He might have to hunt for some time before he could catch anything else. He swung around in circles, his keen eyes studying allabe- heath him. There was no danger to
 'It is safe enough" whispered the Tempter.
 Still Redtail hesitated. 'fYou can get one of those chickens and be safely away before anybody knows you are about" whispered the Tempter. / Redtail circled lower and lower Just then the mother hen looked up and saw him. Instantly she ruffled up all her feathers and called to her ba- bies to hurry to her. How they did scamper tot get under her sheltering wings! But there was one little fel- low who had wandered farther than the rest. He started as soon as his mother called, but he was too far away. Redtail closed his wings and shot down out of the sky, his great claws stretch ed wide. In twinkling he had closed the great claws of one foot around that little white chicken, and his great wings were sending him up, up into the blue sky. The mother hen was making a great fuss, but Redtail just laughed, for no one appeared with terrible gun. He would have chicken for breakfast

Dress Young Girl
 May Make For Herself

fa |
 YNHE problem of gowning the young
 person from her spring heel period
 on, has taxed both the atste and tact of discerning mothers. It seems that the tendency to sophistication among the deb and sub-deb clements has become alarming. Immature. femi- ninity in bloomers, boy bobs, dainty earrings and permanent waves clothes that are exotic, extreme, inconsistent, ts anything but charming.
 The young girl should be well dressed but not ''everdressed," or "underdress- ed," and refined simplicity should pervail in all her attire.
 Adorable little 9rocks for summer may be made from eheer cotton stuffs such as dotted Swiss or dimity, or voile, which every year blooms forth in new and interesting patterns. Also tub silks are pretty and this year are very smart for morning wear.
 An individual little frock. of ss6me sheer fabric silk as I have mentioned, or . gay figured English rint or tub silk, Is 50 simple in cut that any young girl who has acquired the rudi- ments of sewing, could make 1t for herself. The main considerations should oo 6HSM " pkVRcr AI pEVpOrtionss and neat construction. A pretty pointed neck affords opportunity for q band of trimming, the same which is used on the short sleeves 10 finish them, while at the low waistline the same banding outlines a1is ablong plastron of the dress fabricy into which the sash ends are gathered at eacha side. Below it, across the front, the skirt is laid in tiny tucks which achieve an apron effect that raises the frock easily and emphatieally above the commonplace. A line of tinted pearl or white buttons up the front of the plain straight bodies adds decoration. Any becoming color of dotted Swiss would be effective with embroidered Swiss banding as trimming, or plain white or colored organdie.
