WOMEN AT CONVENTION
BY MAXINE DAVIS.

NEW YORK. June 26.--Several
hundred woman visitors to the con-
ventisn have succummed to the New
York bob. better known as the shin
gle bob. This Is the report of the
hairdressing establishments in the
hotels where the delegates and their
trains are stopping.
Political women are evidently out
for comfort and style. but they all
insist on the curl. Marcels, shadow
waves and round curls are in con-
stant demand at the leading beauty
parlors. Facial messages and mani
cures also are required by the smart
ly groomed visitors.
Mrs. Bernice Pyke of Cleveland,
Democratic committeewoman from
Ohio, is the only bobbedhaired MEM
Der Of the national committee. Her
white locks are shingled and most
becoming. She likes it that way.
The twelve Arizona delegates were
deadlocked in their caucus, and dark
work was suspected. 1t was said
McAdoo delegates, had been drugged
in the interest of Smith or Under
wood, and that the alarm clock of
one of the male delegates had been
tampered with so that he was still
asleep at noon when the caucus was
called. Both denied the report, but
the rumor persists.
The band leader of the convention
has an amazing sense of fitness.

meeting to order the music blared

And better yet, when Mrs. Leroy
Spring. chairman of the credentials

to make the report of the committee,
she was interrupted by the strains of
"Oh. You Beautiful DOLL" and the
audience Joined heartily in the
chorus. Mrs. Spring is one of the
likes to wander but she was entirely
business-like in her presentation of
the report.

form, nursing their mikes" and muir
muring into them in their best broad
cast manner.
There is one difference, at least, be-
tween the two old parties. The Dem
ocrats recognize the Panama Canal
Zone as separate political entity,
entitled to representation at ma
tional convention and in the selection
of a candidate for President of the
United States. The Republicans do
not. The @. 0. P. recognizes Alaska,
Hawaii, the District of Columbia,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. The
Democrats recognize all of these and
throw in the canal zone for good
measure. The Republicans give the
territories two votes eacn. The Dem
ocratS give them six.

SUPPORTERS OF SMITH
STORM DOORS OF HALL
Many Get in Before Police Can
Stop Rush on Gates-Some
Ticket Holders Barred.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 26.-The Smith
forces took the convention hall al
most by storm today. Before the
proceedings of the convention had
gotten well underway holders of
tickets for reserve seats were being
turned away by the police, the fire
marshall having ordered that no more
persons be admitted.
The word went forth last night, 1t
was reported, that the Smith rooters
were to be on hand today. 1t was
planned to rush to a couple Of the
doors at one end of the garden.
Reinforcements were placed at these
doors, but even considerable e
number of men made their way into
the hall before they were checked.
Among those who held tickets for
reserved seats who were held up was
Col. Clifford of Chicago and Washing
ton, who engineered the boom for Gen.
Charles G.. Dawes for Vice President
at the Cleveland convention. He and
his party finally obtained admission
through a door not used for the gen.

UNDERWOOD FORCE
SEES CAUSE AIDED
Swing to AIabaman Is Ex-

Smith Deadlock Comes.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. June 26.-The recep-
tion accorded Senator Oscar W.
Underwoods anti-Klan declarations
in the Democratic convention yester-
day when he was placed in nomina-
tion was reflected in overnight
claims that he had gained material
advantage in the struggle for the
presidential nomination. Those in
closest touch with his campaign and
the results of quiet canvassing of
general sentiment for him among the
delegates said there had been a dis
tinct increase in Underwood talk
during the night.
Ultimate Scramble Seen.
1t was explained that no zeal
showing Of this strength was to be
expected until the balloting had pro-
ceeded far enough to satisfy various
nor Smith movement had any real re-
semblance to a band wagon. When
that time came, the Underwood
leaders predicted, there would be d
scramble TO get aboard the Under
wood chariot, where the original
would remain throughout the early
ballots ready to extend the hand of
welcome to late comers.
c. c. Carlin, manager of the I'm
derwood forces, went into the con-
vention today asserting that, wholly
aside from his desire and the necessi-
ties of his duties. he felt that there
was a real prospect for the Alabama
senator to swing the convention his
way in a movement that would
sweep the stage clear of sectional
lines. Just when the turn he fore
saw would come, however, Mr.. Car
lin did not care to indicate.
The Underwood men yesterday
marked particularly friendly applause
from New York's big delegation
which joined with the noise of the
Alabama group when Forney Johnson
finally got a chance TO name his man.
They trotted out the senator again
last night at hotel headquarters for
a haud-shaking ordeal, and the cor
ridors were filled with cries OF Let
shake hands with the next President:
as the milling crowds pushed their
way into the hot, crowded rooms
where he held forth.

Indigestion
May Lead to
Appendicitis

Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual
ly becomes infected through tine
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.

most simple warnings of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, CON
stipation ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.

stomach distress, don't fail TO try a
bottle Of Smith Bros. M. A. c., the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort
In fact, it is sold on positive
