! In Kansas, the early returns show
him leading Davis by three to one.
Cook county, which includes Chicago,
the home OF Brennan's famous Demo
cratic machine, seems to be going for
the President by huge majority. The
first half hundred precincts to report
showed Coolidge leading Davis by
about four to one.
In the biggest vote ever cast by
this country in any election Coolidge
seems likely to have plurahties over
Davis In the East which will rival
those OF Harding over Cox four years
ago.
The big surprise IN some Of the IN
in Cook county, Ill, in upstate New
York towns and cities and New Eng
land mill towns. is the failure of La
Toilette to win the labor vote which
his friends had so confidently ex-
pected.
The fact that Rhode Island is going
for the President by landslide figures
also smashes at one Of the frequently
expressed hopes of the Democrats.
The tremendously important factor
is that the states which were survey
ed politically in the East are going
for Coolidge on the early returns even
heavier than almost any one expect
ed Which can be taken to indicate,
pending receipt of returns from the
West, that the same surveys in those
states were probably as accurate as
those in the East

AUSTRALIANS GREAT READERS.
M Reason Of the Various Sources
Supplying Material

Australia Is In peculiar position
90 far as her literature is concerned.
Owing to the fact that English Is the
language spoken. the reading public
can obtain It's supplies from three
quite independent and distant
sources Great Britain. from
The United States. and from local
sources.
The result Is that Australians are
the greatest readers on the face OF
the globe, and New Zealanders are
even moro so. Periodicals and other
publications are untaxed, and the
copyright laws are little understood
and less enforced. SO that on typi-
cal Australian book stall the most
cosmopolitan conglomeration of lit
exafure Imaginable can be seen.
Australia, being 80 far from the
rest Of the English-speaking world,
has 30 rely upon local effort for her
daily and weekly publications. In
this field Australians have shown
that they can bring out newspapers
which can bear . most favorable
comparison with similar publica-
tons either In Great Britain or
America. The same may be said of
the weekfiea. II 10 In magazines

Nfarriage, Health and I.ongevity.


Marriage Is an Institution highly
conducive to the health OF both hus-
band and wife.
Statistics prove that among mar
ried men over 20 years of age and
women over 40 the mortality rate Is
far less than among those who re-
main single. Among the widowed
and divorced the mortality is excep-
tionally great. Suicides among the
unmarried are much more numerous
than among the married.
The matrimonial state promotes
temperance In every form. Further
more, the probable duration of life
of a married man of so exceeds that
of his unmarried brother by five
years. and the wife may expect to
live one year longer than O single
woman of the same age.
