Convention Most Thrilling,
Says Wife-Father Is
Proud.
By Eldora Field

Who says that a house can't emilo
and nod, and radiate the most
pleased consciousness that it's fairly
ready to burst with happiness with
in? A little brown bungalow at Al
S. Johnson Ave. is doing just that
today, for 1t is there that Albert
Stump, young Indianapolis attorney,
nominated long-term senatorial can
didate at the Democratic convention
at Tomlinson Hall Thursday, and his
bri9ht-eyed little wife and their
three babies-Margaret, 8; Robert,
4. and little tow-headed Thomas, 9,
live.
Red and white peonles nod in the
yard; the porch holds a jovial mix
ture of Bob's express wagon, Tom
mys klddie-kar and a blue-painted
affair for Margaret's dolls to travel
in. The door is mostly standing
open today-so many folks are COM
ing in to bring congratulations and
the big brick fireplace holds Jolly
nodding flowers, instead Of flrelogs.
Mrs. Stump Just beams happiness.

Irritates Them

This irritates the nationalistic
Egyptians terribly. They demand
that Britain clear out, lock, stock
and barrel.
Then there is the Soudan. Egypt
claims the Soudan as all hers. Bri-
tain claims a sort of $3.50 interest
and insists on a dual administration.
She has also built one of the most
wonderful irrigation systems in the
world there, along the upper waters
of the Nile and this, strange to say,
further angers the Egyptians.
Herodus once said: Egypt is the
Nile and the Nile is Egypt" and
the Egyptians swear by that saying.
Egypt is about the size of Ohio, Ala
bama, Illinois and California com.
bined, but an area no larger than
Maryland is cultivable. The banks
of the Nile are the only ground in
Egypt where anything will grow.
The rest is desert. Which is why
she fears foreign control Of the Nile
headwaters.
