Unkelbach steered his car onto the bank near the curb on the south side and struck an electric light pole in a futile attempt to avoid striking him. A dent in the left front door of the automobile marks the spot where McNerney's head struck.

 No Time For Bad Eyes
 Years ago a boy could hide be- hind his mothers skirts. He can't do that now. A short time ago l had some trouble with my ears and was afraid I was going deaf. Then along came the short skirts and I thanked God it wasn't eye trouble l had. This is no age for a blind man, there's too much that's inter- estlng to see.
 Young people today are the same and have the same high standards as other generations. They have changed the style of clothes that's all. A young boy today doesn't think anything of short skirts, be- cause he's never seen any other kind.
 Tn this age of short skirts and short hair we will he able to adjust o"rselves. America will never for get the God Of her fathers"
 A plea for tolerance was made by Rev. William Ross. Don't be rough to your fellowmen. Be mod. crate, even if they differ with you Extravaganza makes certain nature, shy of us. Blind enthusiasm is only back door to a pit and so many tumble into it.

PROHIBITION IS
 NEW YORK ISSUE
(. 0. P. Expects Fight But Democrats Are in Agreement

New York. Sept. 25 Up,-The em- pire states reaction to prohibition assumed major political importance today. on the eve of nominating conventions Monday and Tuesday of both the republican and democratic parties.
 The republicans anticipate difficult ties over the liquor question at their convention in Madison Square Gar den here, but the moist New York democrats expect to nominate Alfred F. Smith. potential presidential can- didate. and others of a practically selected ticket without much fire works.
 Programs of the two simultane- ously meeting conventions have been arranged for the benefit of radio broadcasting stations so that the principal oratorical features will not conflict.
 Dry forces expect to make con- centrated attack on Senator James E.. Wadsworth at the republican convention here. Former State Senator Francis W. Cristman Of Herkimer has been selected to op- pose him for renomination. There Is every expectation that Senator Wadsworth will be renominated' however, and that Mir. Christman will run as an Independent republi- can, which might cause the selec- ton of Supreme Court Justice Robert F. Wagner of New York city who will be nominated by the demo- crats, and affect the republican ma iority in Washington.
 Prohibition will not be as much of q figure in selecting the republican candidate for governor, as dry forces have named two candidates to run on independent tickets. Three men were discussed in political circles to- day as republican gubernatorial pos abilities, but one of them. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, has said he does not want the nomination.
 or the other two, William J. Donovan IS HUI GiNN' pNtN1iN dry clement, and ogden L. Mi'ls' congressman from New York, to the vets Mir. Mills has said he does not want the nomination. but party leaders think he would accept lie ,s 10 be keynote orator of the con- vention. .,
 The democratic platform VIII DC devoted principally to state issues but is expected to criticize President coo,idee for alleged failure tc handle the coal strike situation properly, and to re-enuncla'e tnt .. democratic principle of low taril There will be no reference to 'n' world court. Franklin D. Roosevelt who nominated Smith for presiden at the 1924 democratic convention " ,llpreside over the state conNeh ton.
