A college education ought to fit man or woman to be con- tent in any occupation, because 1t enlarges the capacity for the en- joyment of the intellectual and spiritual side of life.

 You made one statement, MT. President, which l noted particular ly," I remarked.

 How can there be any doubt about it?" he replied. "A man who has the companionship of a lovely and gracious woman enjoys the su- preme blessing that life can give. And no citizen of the United States knows the truth of that statement better than l."

Fears Truant Officer,
 Runs Away From Home

Fear of the truant officer is be- lieved by relatives to be responsible for the disappearance of William Silverman, aged 14, son of Max Sil- verman of 24 Fremont street. The boy has not been home since 9 o'clock last Monday morning and his father has notified the police.
 William was a pupil at the old Elihu Burritt school but did not return to his class when the new school term opened on September 7 although his parents were unaware of this fact. An investigation was made by the attendance bureau of the school department and truant officer was sent to the Silverman home. The boy is thought to have become frightened and decided to run away. He wore light gray suit with long trousers. He is large for his age.

Insert Dry" Plank in Demo-
 cratic Platform

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 22 Pt- The William Gibbs McAdoo wing ot the democratic party in California defeated by anti McAdoo delegates in the preliminary contests of the state convention which opened here yesterday, came back to a hard fought victory over their opponents early today, by a vote of 52 to 49, they forced through a resolution ap- pending bone dry plank to the party platform.
 The dry resolution, indorsing the state prohibition enforcement act and conforming efforts to repeal it by initiative at the November cleo ton, was carried only after long and better controversy over methods of voting, the status of proxies and the merits of the question itself.
 Efforts of the McAdoo delegates to stop the roll call because dele gates were calling out their votes without rising were overruled, but when the count showed the resolu- tion had carried. an anti-McAdoo motion to reconsider the roll call was defeated 53 to 46.
 In the early hours of the conven- tion the anti McAdoo contingent swept into apparent control of the gathering when David s. Ewing de- feated Judge Claude s. Purkitt of the McAdoo faction 50 to 56 for the temporary chairmanship of the con- and early last night EWing's victory was emphasized by his elec- ton as permanent chairman.

DEMPSEY IN EARLY
 ROUND, CONSENSUS
Champion FaVOrite With Odds
 Against Tunney Heavy

Philadelphia, Sept. 22 LP) - No champion since the days of the Bos- ton strong boy" John L. Sullivan, has been made as overwhelming Q established for his 10-round decision
 match with Gene Tunney in the sesquicentennial stadium tomorrow.
 In spite of a somewhat belated trend of sentiment among observers toward Tunney the last few days, majority opinion has remained strongly in the champions favor.
 Few have been willing to concede the challenger more than an outside chance.
 Dempsey has the punch" most any expert or non-eXpert will say with an air of finality that seems to carry the conviction it will quickly
 end the hopes and aspirations of the
 former marine.
 Whether or not Dempsey has lost some of his old speed or the old hit ting accuracy; whether or not the harassing court suits, iniunctions and so on have affected his morale: whether or not he may be jinxed by the current cycle of crashing champions, already including Jones, Tilden, Hornsby, Nurmi and host of others-these. all figure in the an- alysis of Dempsey's position.
 Moreover. there are Tunneys own qualifications to considerable own hitting ability q right hand wallop out; his ruggedness and boxing abil- ity.
 But invariably the fight enthusiast and Philadelphia is damned with them, on street corners, in hotel lob bies and clubs-comes back to the belief that Dempsey's punch, the sock" that put Jess Willard, Georg es Carpenter and Luis Firpo on the floor a dozen or more times, will end the battle of the sesqui."
 Among newspaper critics, among the men who have been backing their opinions in wagers at odds of as high as 3 to 1 on the champion and among the "wise men" of the boxing game there is almost univer- sal conviction that Dempsey will win by a knockout inside of four rounds. Several wagers have been reported at odds of only 2 to 1 that the chal- lenger will take the final count be- fore the end of the fourth.
 It is nothing new for the cham- pion to be the favorite. All of them since Sullivan have been so regard ed in the bouts which saw titles change hands, but it will be more than an ordinary shock to the sport ing fraternity as well as to the pub lie at large. if Tunney, popular though he is, dethrones Dempsey.
 It will be a remarkable comeback for Dempsey even if he fulf1lls the expectations of the majority and wins decisively. Few champions have retained the winning punch and speed after three-year layoffs. Dempsey himself had his troubles in 1923 when he fought Tom Gibbons and Luis Firpo after two years of idleness. The titleholder is past 30 and such veteran competitors as Big Bill" Tilden and Harry Greb will tell him there's no odds-on prospect of victory against flaming youth beyond that milestone.
 Tunney has every incentive to win l md apparently enjoys unusual con- l 1dence in himself. The versatile | 'ormer marine may not have the lighting instinct that always has ,een Dempsey's guiding star but he has determination. condition, youth l and no little battling equipment in lis favor.

"A WOMAN who smokes will do
 H anything"
 It is that sort of chance remark, overheard at a dinner party, which prompted Beatrice Burton's latest serial, Honey Lou" which begins in Fridays Herald. In her charm- ing apartment with it's book-lined walls and predominant note of jade green, Beatrice Burton yesterday outlined the idea of her new serial, which l can assure you, is the best she has written. Unquestonably the greatest writer of newspaper fiction, Miss Burton bellies the out-worn idea that beauty and brains never go together. Young, and possessed of a vitality which acCentuates her loveliness. it would seem that Miss Burton not only had her cake, but was eating it as well.
 My latest story, Honey Lou Is about the girl who smokes, paints, Charlcstons and gives every indiCa- tion of being wild, but who, in reality, is fine underneath and cmi- nently respectable. In contrast with her character, I have pictured the other girl In the story as look ing like saint and acting-wcll very differently"
 Miss Burton, who in private life Is Mrs. Beatrice Morgan, says that people will simply have to get over associating immortality with the girl who paints her lips and inhalcs her cigarette.
 "It has always been difficult to draw the line between the so-callcd bad woman and the good woman.

 Loves Children, Writing, Too
 For instance, I never could bear to be away from my children. would give up my writing in a min- ute If it meant that I had to hire an office somewhere. I want to do my work right here at home, where l can keep my eye on my house. hold all day long.
 And yet my life would be very stale If I had to give up my writ ing. I love every minute that I spend at my typewriter. trying to set down in words the story of the woman of today.
 T believe that to be a successful woman's writer-that is, a woman who writes for and about women, you have got to be a womans wom. an. The kind of woman who is in. terested in cold-pack preserving. clothes, mothers clubs, and the best way to hold a husband. In other words, normal everyday sort of woman. Otherwise, you can't un- derstand the, women all around you.
 And. if you stop to think about 1t, you can see that the normal, everyday kind of woman is the most beautiful thing on earth to- day She is free and alive and full of the joy of living. as women never have been before in all his- tory"
 Has Charming Personality
 I wish that Beatrice Burton's many readers could meet her and feel the charm of her personality. Let me assure you that she is not only an extremely clever young woman, but real person as well. She is one of the givers of life, both to her unseen friends and those to whom she has endeared herself. You will understand what l mean when you read Honey Lou which, will let you In on . secret-is the best story which she has ever written. And the thou. sands who read and enjoyed her pervious successes, Her Man." and The Petter," printed in The Her aid, will understand just how much Of a treat they have coming in Honey Lou"

Phelps, of Rockville, former attor- ney general. The latter will give the principal address.
 Senator Bingham is the principal speaker on the evenings program which will be held in the First Con- gregational church, South Coventry.
 Governor Trumbull will read a special message from President Coolidge. The exercises will be broadcast. Amplifiers have been in- stalled on the outside of the church so that those who can not obtain tickets will be able to follow the program.
 Representatives of nearly all the patriotic societies in the state will participate in the programs. Each of the thirteen Connecticut councils of boy scouts, Yale university, Trim ity college, Wesleyan university, Connecticut College for Women and the Connecticut Agricultural college will be represented.
 In an effort to make the day one oL cp'Nlul plStl ante dlIOnR SGnOOl children the state board of educa- tion has sent pamphlets outlining the life of Hale and other material relative to his career to every school in Connecticut.

 In spite of the demands made upon her by her career Beatrice Burton has found time to be a suc- ccssful wife and mother. Her chill dren, Victoria, Virginia and John, hold very real place in her life.
 Has Strong Sense of Humor
 And there is no one who finds more time for her friends than does Beatrice Burton. She gives them an unaffected and loyal affection, and as l am numbered among those friends I can never cease to marvel at a woman who can reach success at such an early age with out having 1t spoil her in any de- gree. She has that most unusual trait among writers, the ability to receive criticism with a smile. Nor does she take herself too seriously. and her sense of humor makes her a delightful companion.
 It would seem as though the gods had been kind to the Burton fam fly. Harry Burton. Beatrice Bur tons brother. is editor of McCalrs magazine, and brother and sister share a genuine pride in one an- others achievements.
 Others who have attempted to initiate what they are wont to call Beatrice Burton's style, have won- dered why they have failed in the formula where she has succeeded. l will tell you the reason. There is q sense of reality pervading her work, her characters talk as do the people which are met with in every day life. Here is not a stage with stilted actors saying suited things, but q cross section of the emotions which are experienced by everyone. And the secret of successful writing is making the reader say That's what l would have said - that's what l would have done"

SHORTAGE OF SHIPS
Canadian Grain Suffers As Major ity of Vessels Are Transporting Coal To Britain.

Montreal, Sept. 22 Pt-Due to the continued demand for ships to carry coal from the United States to the British Isles, required by British firms on account of the coal strike, a scarcity of shipping for the trans portation of Canadian grain across the Atlantic is becoming manifest in Montreal. according to the Mon- treal Gazette.
 Transportation rates for grain have risen so high, the paper says, that it is now unattraCtive for Eu- ropean buyers to take grain from this continent.
 AS high rate as sos (s7.5o) 2 ton has been quoted for any early steamer to carry American coal to England. It is figured that the equivalent of this rate in grain transportation to the continent is around 34 cents per hundred weight.
