CHEKIANG FO,,,... '.: :.
 TAKE HING TOWN
Defenders of Shanghai Capture Immediate Objective
1,SOO MEN SURRENDER
Fall of Point Over Which There Has Been Much Fighting is Announced Many Wounded in Encounted- Chang Asks Use of Railway.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Shanghai, Sept. 12,-The Chekiang forces defending Shanghai, operating on the front west of this city, have captured the town of lining, com- polling the Kiangsu army in that sector to fall backward toward Changchow.
 Headquarters of the Chekiang troops at Lungwha, south of here, announced late this afternoon that two battalions (about 1900 men), of the Kiangsu army, had surrendered at a point two miles south of lining. The troops surrendering comprised the major portion of the force de- lending the town, 1t was said.
 A delegation of the townspeope was said at Lungwha to have waited on the Chekiang commander, pe- titioning him not to use artillery in capturing lining and assuring him that the town was only waiting to welcome the Chekiang army.
 Drenching rains, a cessation of fighting in flooded fields west of here, movement of endorsements to the fighting fronts and reports indicating that the warning fac- tions battling for possession of Shanghai would renew hostitlitles with greater vigor when the storm passes-these were overnight de- velopment in the war between rival military governors.
 Fierce Fighting
 On the basis of the number of wounded being returned from the front, the fiercest fighting yesterday occurred at Thing, about 100 miles southwest of Shanghai, where the defending forces of Lu Yung- Hsiang are attempting to capture the town to make a rear attack on the in- vading forces from the line of the Shanghai-Nanking railway.
 No reports were issued today from the invading Kiangsu forces, but Lungwha headquarters of the defending Chekiang forces claimed gains on the lining and Hwangtu front yesterday.
 Asks Railway Use
 Reports from TaIio and Picking indicate that Chang Tso-Lin, mili- tary dictator of Manchuria, and all ly of Lu Yung- Hsiang, has asked Japan to aid his cause indirectly by granting him permission to use the south Manchurian railway lines to to move his forces against the armies of Wu Per-Fu near Picking. Japan has not acted upon the re- quest.
 Chang was reported to be assem- bling his military. forces at Mukden, principal city of Manchuria, al- though two regiments were seen en route to Shanhaikwan, a town on the Chihli-Manchurian border.
 Although the fighting was being carried farther from Shanghai to- day, arrangements were perfected by the international military forces to defend the foreign settlement from land and water against any activities of the warning forces.

CLAD IN DENIM OVERALLS
Boys Attract Attention From Pris- oners at Defense Day Observance in Joliet--To Go to Work at
 Once
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Joliet, His, Sept. 12.--Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb to- day bade the world goodbye with a smile and started a lifetime behind prison bars. In what they were told would be their last interview with newspaper men, the sIayers of young Robert Franks declared they had been told not to talk, said they were glad their contact with reporters was over and smilingly backed out of the presence of the press.
 Wearing the blue denim prison jackets and trousers and with heads closely cropped, the youths presented little of the natty appearance af- fected in the Cook county jail, when brought before the newspjaper men.
 Warden John L. Whitman first in- formed reporters that henceforth the boys will be entirely in charge of the prison authorities and that the contact with the outside world was ended.
 The boys smiled as they saw their visitors.
 Dick, Warden Whitman has just told us this is the last time we will see you," ventured reporter.
 That's fine" Loeb responded, that suits us exactly"
 Questions of, How do you like it here?" What do you think of Joliet?" How did you enjoy break fast?" and Have you any farewell message to send outside?' were all met by smiles and negative shakes of the head.
 Finally in desperation a reporter, addressing Loeb, who was doing what talking was being done. said:
 Dick, we only have five minutes to talk, cant you say something?"
 We are sorry" responded Loeb, But we have been instructed not to talk. We would be glad to talk if we could, but we can't"
 The newspaper men seeing tho fruitlessness of further effort, gave up their task before the five minutes were up and the boys, still smiling. withdrew from the room and were ordered snartIy by the guard to take the outside walk across the yard where only prisoners walk. They were returned to solitary.
 Tomorrow they will go to work.
 Guards said that both boys were exhibiting a satisfactory attitude toward prison life. Life here is just what you make it. boys" the guard who awoke them at 6 o'clock told them. Well, we certainly want to do everything we can to get along" Loeb responded, and Leopold assents ed.
 The boys ate first beef stew, bread. butter, syrup and coffee for break fast. They were then returned to solitary confinement. But a short time later were taken to the audi torium where a defense day program was rendered. Strict discipline and the presence of guards did not pre- vent many covert gianees from the 1,200 prisoners in the center of the building where both boys sat.
 A band program wss followed by an address on the importance of De- fense day by the Rev. Arthur Hams ilton, prison chaplain. While the youths paid close attention to the speaker. they did not respond as did the other prisoners with either ap- plause or smiles.

BIG GAME .HUNTRESS IN
 FAVOR OF BOBBED HAIR

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-Bob- bed hair and big game are appar- ently as far apart as the poles; but in the belief of Mrs. w J. Morden,, of Chicago, success in hunting the latter, if one is a woman, follows well on the work of the barber's scis- sors
 "If you want a successful hunting trip get your hair bobbed first" Mrs. Morden advised feminity in general, as she displayed her shorn tresses. q did before I left Chicago, and I've never regretted it. When one breaks away from civilization and enters the wilds for months at a time such things as a lack of bothersome hair are more important than they would seem
 Mrs. Morden accompanied her husband on a trip around the world, during which they hunted for sev- eral months both in Africa and India and hundreds of trophies are now en route to Chicago as evidence of thei rskill.
 And furthermore said Mrs. Nor den in parting, "bobbed hair is just as sensible in civilization-in a big city, for instance. It saves a great deal of time and is more healthful."
