Mr.. Wilson increased in volume,
Fl. II. Dean and Newt Morris

NEW YORK, June 24.-The long
established two,thirds' rule govern
ing nominations Of candidates for
president and vice president was APP
proved for retention by an over.
whelming vote at the first meeting
today of the Democratic convention
committee on rules.
Only three votes were cast for
abrogation Of the two-thirds rule.
They were recorded by delegates
from Texas, Florida and Tennessee.
Rolling along on great wave of
party enthusiasm despite its deep
differences over candidates, the Dem
ocratic national convention at one
brief session today gave itself over
to cheers for the party and roaring
approval of Temporary Chairman
Pat Harrison's lambasting of the
Harding Coolidge administration.
While the contest over delegates
and platform principles temporarily
was laid aside, the $4,000 delegates
and visitors at the convention gath.

ison Square Garden-home Of many
a great show but no:.o greater than
this-to go through the formalities
Of getting the convention under
way.
Cheers for Jefferson, Jackson and
Cleveland rose IN a growing cres-
cendo until Chairman Harrison mem
toned the name of Woodrow Will
son. That was the signal for the
first demonstration and everybody
went to it regardless Of sympathy
for Smith or McAdoo. 1t was near
ly half hour before the great au-
dience was quieted again and Chair
man Harrison went back to finish
ing his keynote address. NJ
Makes Plea For Harmony
Closing with a plea for harmony
and a united democracy whatever
the decisions Of the convention
might be, Chairman Harrison said:
1T would seem that we can hear
the voice of sweet reasonableness
coming to us from Monticello; the
voice Of Old Hickory coming across
the Blue Ridge; and from the his
toric crypt at ST. Adams we hear
the mighty voice of Woodrow Will
son calling to US, ITO you from
falling hands we throw the torch;
hold it high; carry on; carry on;
keep the faith; keep the faith"
In succession while the conven.
ton cheered each new point of at
tack, Senator Harrison turned the
guns Of his best oratory on the Re-
publican administration for all it's
policies, ranging from foreign to do
nestle and centered his attack on
the developments Of the congression-
al investigation at Washington.
The delivery Of the keynote adj
dress was the principal part IF tes
days business in the convention.
The remainder of the proceedings
was perfunctory and connected with
the organization machinery. Rules
governing the lower house of con-
gress were adopted temporarily by
the convention.
Until the convention reassembles
tomorrow various committees will
continue their work. Tomorrow's
session will see the temporary or
ganization given over to rerma.

Asked where she discovers the material
for her stories she replied:
Every day, at the most unexpected
times and in the most commonplace
surroundings, unusual situations present
themselves. The most ordinary incident
may have lurking about it some feature
slightly different from almost the same
incident in other circumstances and
other surroundings. Sometimes my
lima gination supplies the mystery which.
attached to the incident, makes material
for a story.
"Once having fitted the characters and
situations to surroundings, the story Is
on it's way, and moves easily and natu-
rally to its consistent denouement. How
ever that is not the end. The concep-
ton may be true to life, but the picture
must be drawn correctly, and the only
way to do that is to know what the
usual procedure is in certain circum-
stances.
For instance, a dead body is found
at the entrance to culvert. Presum-
ably it is at once removed to the
morgue. But the writer must know ,ex-
actly what the procedure is at the hold
ing of an autopsy if he is going to de-
scribe the scene. 1t is only in this way
that the picture can be presented cor
rectly. And so, it can be seen that end

seven states east of the Mis-
i sssippi River to get rid OF
the rat plague that had become
menacing has brought to light new
method, discovered in Denmark. of
exterminating rats and mice without
the use of either traps or poisons.
Rats had become SO bad in Dem
mark, and the losses from their de-
structive habits, especially along the
seaport towns, were running so high
that the government grew alarmed.
Then, too, there was the danger OF
bubonic plague. which is carried only
by the rats. The government financed
a group of scientists to find a
method of killing rats more rapidly
than the rats could breed. After
long and costly experiments. they
succeeded in producing virus which
they named ratin.

tanning millions of germs held in a

for several days. Then the rodents

turn infect others until whole colo

1t was found, however. after nume-
rous laboratory experiments and
many hundreds of trials on rat-in-
tested areas, that about ten per cent
of all rats were immune to the
germs and could not be infected at
