DUES IA TOILETTE
 IN SOVIET CLASS
Senator Pepper Denounces Him
 In Unmeasured Terms

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.The Cool idge administration Is preparing to make, aggressive warfare Un La Fol lete as the apostle of social unrest and disorder.
 This was indicated when Senator Pepper of Pennsylyania. the Presidents spokesman in the Senate on many oc- casions, and one of the most mild spoken of men, denounced La Toilette in unmeasured terms while waiting at the White House to fill luncheon en- gagement with President Coolidge. Sen at6r Pepper compared La Toilette to, Lenin and Trotzky.
 Certainly Mir. La Toilette has gone far afield in describing himself and his movement as 'progressiye,." said Sena- tor Pepper. "Mr. La Toilette prates about boss-ridden machine politics within the republican party, about the control of the predatory interests and yet who since the days when Lenin and Trotzky first set up their nutocratic rule over the Russian people has at- tempted to dominate and boss those around him more than the Wisconsin senator?

timony was so revolting that the wom- en felt it was their duty to protest against other women going through the same trying experience.
 Judge By Heart
 ''My protest against women jurors, to repeat, is that they judge life's prob lens by the heart. Every woman, poli- tician or housewife, is ruled by her heart. A few women are inclined to have preconceived opinions, but most of them are swayed by sympathy. Logic and argument will have little effect upon them if once their sentiment or sympathy is aroused. This very quality is what gives women their incompara- ble charm, but justice needs coolness and even thought as well as pleas for mercy.
 "'The beauty of a lovely woman is like music Why should she be asked to sacrifice her natural reserve and delicaey in order to try cases in court ? Why should the laws of nature be up- set, and home and children sacrificed, when the housewife is forced to sit on the jury? And, on the other hand, should justice be handicapped by ju- TOTS who think with their hearts? For women do, and it has been proven true throughout the ages. Woman has a nobler duty to perform in obeying the laws of nature and in building homes than in doing jury service. And the very qualities which incapacitate her for mere ,jury duty will continue to make her the inspiration of romance, poetry and art as long as civilization pnduraS v

BANK NOTES

A cashier who is short in the bank will probably be long in jail.
 Whenever the bank balances your ac. count you begin to doubt the infalli bility of adding machines.
 Your balance is the amount the bank says you have, and which you cant disprove.
 Bankers are good Samaritans who whenever money" gets tight" nurse him carefully until he gets over it.
 The origin of the word teller" is this. Formerly the cashier took in and paid out the bank funds. Then came the first woman to make deposit The cashier endeavored to explain to her the method of using a check book At last, exhausted. he called to one of his assistants, saying: You tell Ter I'm all in.' The assistant succeeded and the position of teller was created for him on the spot.-Life.

BROUGH (near HulD, Yorkshire Aug. 2.-'"Tell the people at home that we leave England very confident of completing the last stage of our 24 ,000- mile trip and winning for America the honor of being the first nation to | fly round the world. We realize that this last series of hops is going to be no picnic-it will take us farther north than we've been at any time yet, and across some next to unknown regions, but we expect to get through all right and to be home in about three weeks"
 Thus spoke Lieutenant Lowell Smith, the brOnzed, good looking, serious faced young leader of the United States world flight, in an interview with the writer today. Then he added:
 "One thing of which we're very proud is that. up to now, we have never turn ed back, and never have landed any where but where we intended to land. But in spite of the luck we have had, this globe-girdling cruise has been ter ribly hard work.

 Message Back Home
 I had asked him for a message to the American public with which to be- gin this article, which is being writ ten in the ordinarily slumberous but now vastly excited little village on the Humber that is called Brough and that, because of the presence here of the plucky American airmen, is revelling in a week of temporary fame as the principal theatre of world aviation.
 Across the sun-bathed meadows from Broughs solitary inn, where I am now hitting the keys of my portable, stand the huge sheds of the Blackburn Aero plane company, whose big construction works represent the principal local in dustry. And in the largest of those sheds, clad in dingy brown overalls and grimy with dust and oil, the six American boys who have made Jules Verne's 'round-the- e-world-in-eighty-d days traveller look silly by covering nearly 10000 miles in 260 flying hours, are working like beavers, elbow to elbow with the bunch of expert British me chanics, who are helping them to get their ships ready for the last lap of their history-making flight.
 For an hour this morning before most people in Brough were out of bed, watched them fitting new connect ing wires, adjusting controls, and strip ping the under carriages of the Boston, the Chicago and the New Orleans, pre- paratory to the fitting of new engines and the substitution of pOntoons for wheels in readiness for the final se-

severe wind, rain and electrical
storm which swept the coast of Lake
Erie from Sandusky to Lorain,
wrecking a large portion of Lorain
and parts Of Sanduslxy.
Although the loss of life was not
as great as at first believed. relief
workers said today that the list of
dead may grow. Several hundred
persons We're reported injured, sew
eral score of them seriously and the
property damage was estimated at
mere than $4,000, 600. -
Following Is tabulation of the
Ohio storm damage as compiled by
The Associated Press.
Lorain---70 dead, several hundred
probably injured and property dam
age estimated at more than s25.o00,-

jured. with property damage esti-
mated at more than $1.500,000.

for which fears had been entertained
were reported safe.
The wind reached a velocity of IS
miles an hour at Lorain. Scientific
observers were unable to agree today
as to whether the storm was a gen.
uine cyclone. a cyclonic tornado, a
plain tornado, or merely a super
thunderstorm. According to best re-
ports the storm came from the lake
from the northwest.
