Riding rumbling tide of party en-

into nomination for the presidency
Thursday by one of the largest ma

convention.
Before the first and only roll call
was half completed the story of his
victory had been told as state by
state the votes of solid delegations
from east, west, north and south were
thrown to his support.
No other name was presented for
mally to the convention, but the
twenty of the twenty Wis
consin votes and six from North Da-
kota were cast for Robert M. La
La Toilette and ten of the South Da-
ltota delegates followed out their
primary instructions and voted for
Hiram w. Johnson.
The totals were as follows:

The chairman couldn't get order,

brought the delegates to quiet. Then
Bishop Schrerlbs of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Cleveland offered
prayer.
After the prayer the song leader
got into action again and led the con-
vention in singing America"
Chairman Mondell then recognized
Senator Wadsworth of New York
who took the platform and got
demonstration from all parts of the
hall. He told the convention he had
been directed by his delegation to

The WeLI- Dressed Mnn
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation O Every Occasion
Clothea To Beat Tho Heat


 Now and then, some Jobs Comforter up and remarks that heat, like Santa Claus, is all in your mind. Think of Alaska, glaciers, snow-capped mountain peaks or of inheriting q cool million from some haif-forgotten Uncle Oba- diah and, according to this simple prin- ciple of "Whatever Is, ain't," the heat presto !---is dissolved and you go about your work-a-day tasks bnthed in breezes. Now, there is just enough seed of truth in this theory to make 1t worth while putting into practice.
 Light colors and thin fabrics, by auto-suggestion, mental illusion or self-hypnosis, induce sense of we'll being upon the part of the wearer. Knowing that he is dressed as cool as can be, he feels that way. Contrari- wise, the man who is swathed in heavy, heating clothes is continually op- pressed by the thought of them and car ries a burden alike upon his back and mind. %
 Mohair, composed of silk or wool and mohair, originally the hair of the Angora goat, is light, smooth, glossy, crisply cool material that is on the gain for a wear in the thick. summer. Well tailored, 1t retains it's lines acceptably and may be readily pressed into shape. It comes in light, medium-shade or dark colors and in plain, striped or more elaborately patterned effects. One of these suits is pictured in the accom- panying sketch. It is the three button model and patch pockets, side and breast, the top button being left un- fastened for it's carefully careless" look.

Games For Child Before School
 D a ys

K ROM two to six years of age, the K pre-school period, children are not K especially interested in group games. They play together with toys in the sand-pi1e, but as . rule cannot manage a game by themselves. They can, however, be taught simple games under the leadership of an adult.
 The kindergarten system of Froebel and the Montessori method are appltca- ble to children of this age. Educational experiments in play schools and nur. sery schools are now being carried out among children of this "runabout" age, says the Delineator.
 The natural play movements of the child should be encouraged, such as run ming, leaping, climbing and skipping. At this age there should be little or no restraint, full freedom of motion and plenty of rest.
 : It is stated by authorities who have studied the question that the modern child does not know how to play prof itably and that healthy, outdoor play and games are on the decline. Our modern modes of life and environment tend to make city children, at least, in- active and blase. The motion picture theatres and other types of passive en- tertainment are taking the place of &C., tive and healthful out-of-doors sports and games. It is not at all uncommon for children to spend from one to three hours seven days week in a dark and lll-ventilated movie theatre. It is true that the craving for amusement and en- tertainment destroys the natural in- clination for play.
 There is laso an increasing tendency to play games by proxy. It does not improve boys strength or health to sit on the bleachers or peek through the fences, eat peanuts and ice cream cones while watching IS athletes play profes- sional baseball

THE TEST DE LAVE

"The real test of being in love is when you find it impossible to keep away from the woman i; when, if you aren't near her, you are eyerlastingly thinking of how long it will be till you go away, when you can't think free see her again, when you can't bear to of her. Then you're in love, I imagine"
 "Love must come of itself. It muat't have any jealousy to ,kindle it. It's not the real thing if you have to wait till someone takes your woman away before you find out how precious she is."- ''The Voyage" by J. Middleton Muxry.

All these, according to their adaptability to the purpose and the wearer, will be found cool and com fortable. In woolens, the tropical worsteds, homespuns, hopsackings and the like are tiptop for the heated term.
