.NEIGHBOR DAVIS ATTENDS PARTY;
 AVOIDS POLITICS
Gingham And Evening Gowns Are Seen At
 Gathering
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER By Leased Wire to Age Herald ]

LOCUST VALLEY, N. J., July 16. One of the home towns of John W. 1 Davis gave the democratic presidential candidate a neighborhood party Wednes- day night and if all the classes of voters which were represented there go solid for Davis in November, his election will be approximately unani- nous.
 Locust Valleys reception for its illus trious neighbor bore no political tinge at all. There were democrats and re- publicans and probably few independ- ents. There were. very wealthy neigh bors who defied the hot night with hard boiled shirts and black evening clothes and wore platinum cuff links, and there were comparatively poor neighbors who wore no coats or collars. There also were many women, some in evening dress and some in gingham, and even a few urchins in Overalls whom nobody was mean enough to throw out. Everybody Cheers
 But from the way everybody cheered, it appeared that all hands were proud of John Davis as neighbor and that they wanted him to be dead certain of that even if he couldn't be quite sure of all their votes.
 The reception to Davis was held in the Locust Valley-Matinecock neigh borhood house in the woodland between Bayville and Glen Cove.
 Davis appeared on the platform in a blue coat and immaculate flannel trous- CTS and beside him were seated folks from next door" with whom he laughed and chatted amiably. At any rate, Lo- cust Valley decided, their neighbor had not been overwhelmed with the dignity of his new position in the life of the nation. Mrs. Davis and a party of friends sat in front seats. It was a neighborhoOd event and there was no feeling of restraint.
 Most of the local dignitaries were there, too, including many republicans, and it was F. Trubee Davison, a re- publican assemblyman, who made the evenings longest speech, which was to explain why the meeting was taking place.
 DaYison pointed out that the demo- cratic convention could have saved it. self much trouble in the first place if it had left the nomination to Locust Valley. The same result would have been achieved, said he, and there would have been a saving of much time, money and precipitation.
 This seemed to express an opinion that was general, despite the heat. It was paraphrased by the man who intro duced Davis-anotheE neighbor.
 Veers From Politics.
 Davis, speaking to the neighbors, veered from politics, although he point ed out that it was his first appear ance on any stage as a presidential nominee" But he passed back as much of tribute to the generosity and warm heartedness of Locust Valleyites as had been already rendered to him.
 Il have found out" the candidate said significantly, ''that the life of a prospective presidential candidate is not one of roses. a.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Ma- chinery created by the new tax :Iw for adjustment of tax claims set in motion today with the organization of the board of tax appeals.
 The twelve. members already named elected Charles D. Hamel, of North Dakota, chairman and proceeded to work out rules of procedure governing the disposition of claims which in the past have aggregated as high as half a billion dollars year.
 Present plans contemplate division of the board into committees of three, each committee to be assigned head quarters in some central city. Taxpay- CTS thus will be spared the necessity of making trips to Washington to handle their claims.
 Atlanta on List
 :. Cities where the committees will sit excepting the group remaining Eere. have not been definitely determined, but Chicago, St. Paul, Atlanta, Boston, Kansas City, Dallas, Salt Lake City and San Francisco have been under consideration. Obviously only three in addition to Washington can be chosen at the, start but the other cities will be selected immediately upon appoint ment of the remaining sixteen members of the board. Whe. the full member ship of twenty-eight has been named nine committees can work in nine diff ferent cities.
 Acting Secretary Winston; of the treasury, addressing the board, de- clared it had @heavy- responsibility, g in acting as an independent agency of the government, He urged that hearing and decision of cases begin, immedi- ately. \
 The law provides that the board shall hear arguments on all claims in public.

Premier Ramsey sIacDonald, created
last January, suffered defeat in parlia-
ment and made an appeal to the country
in a general election to be held Oct. %.
The defeat came over a motion to investi-
gate the encouragement for having
withdrawn the prosecution OF a c0mmun-
list editor charged with melting sedition.
The government announced that passing
the motion would be regardel as a vote
of censure involving an appeal to the
country, but it passed 1854 to 1913. The
Labor party welcomed the general cleo
ton, feeling themselves on a wave of
popularity and likely to return stronger
than before. Liberals and Conservatives
are attacking the Laborites on the ground
of communism and sympathy with the
Russian reds, though the Labor party, by
an Overwhelming vote, refused to let the
communist affiliate with them. The
three parties appealed to the country
mainly on domestic issues, such as hous-
ing and unemployment, paying little at
tention to foreign policies. -PothfHder-

M. HerriOt the French Premier. In the
course of a speech at a banquet at the
Municipal Palace said it was not sutti-
ciant to wish for peace but it was also
necessary to deserve it. This vas what
France was working for he declared, and
the French Government wished to pre-
serve, in the organization OF peace, the
same initiative as it took al Geneva. 1t
would be a great honour for me, he con
tinued, if | could think that my country
was being lead by me In the path o:
peace and that it would influence the Oth-
er nations similarly since there are GER

he concluded, does not wish hat disarm-
ament should prove a pitfalI for any ma
ton of good faith. Disarmament, yes,
but with security. We do not wish to
see again those cruel hours lived by Bel

a technic of peace on which we must
think and for which we must work, an
enthusiasm of spirit and the association
across the frontiers of all men OF good

Automobile History

y number of years ago when
automobiles were not as plentiful as
they are at the present time, one Of
the attorneys of Augusta, who was
ranked as among the foremost of
Maine. and has since passed away.
wished TO take his car out for the
first time in the spring. 1t had been
his custom to carry liability insur-
ance, starting it when he took out
the ear in the spring and cancelling
it i'll the fall when he put up the car
for the winter.
As we said before. this man was
as able as any lawyer in the State
of Maine to defend a suit for any
client or himself, but he did not
dare to back his car out of the gar
age until he telephoned his partner
ut the office on Water Street, asking
him to come into our Office and
see that his liability insurance was
bound and telephone him confirm
ing it, If he. knowing all the points
of law. and himself a lawyer, did not
dare to take n chance, what chance
IS there for the rest of us who have
to hire expensive legal talent to de-
fend us in case of Il claim, for if
he could not use his car without La
bility insurance, it certainly be-
hooves US to be sure our policy is
placed before we start the car.
We have, this year some very ad-
vantageous contracts and rates for
liability insurance and we should
deem it n pleasure to go over this
proposition with you and explain
these rates to you whether or not
YOU insure with US.
