12-Hour Relief Followed
by New Snow in Chicago

AS Chicago drew breath Of relief
and thought the storm was over when
the snow flurries ceased Thursday
afternoon, Friday broke in another
binding snow. The storm came from
the middle Rockies and left new,
white blanket over Kansas and Iowa
on its way here. Two more deaths
were added to the storms total.
More than five thousand men are
at work in Chicago fighting the snow

WHINING $4,000 FOR NAME

A case Of when dreams come
true" was rought into stern reality
this week when Hans Simonson, OF
Bismark, N. D., came to Chicago to
receive $4,000 cash prize he had
won in world contest, conducted by
Sears Roebuck & Co., to find a name
for a new tire. Until few days ago
young Simonson was bending over
drawing board in the Drafting De-
partment of the State Highway Com
mission, at Bismark. The $4,000
prize was awarded at banquet in
the Hotel Sherman, in honor of the
successful contestants in the con-
test, when the announcement of the
winners were made. Mr.. Simonson
won over close to million COM
petitors with the name Allstate."
Young Simonson for good part
of his twenty years has known what
he would do if he ever got enough
money to carry out his life's
ambition. One of family of six
brothers and three sisters, he spent
the romping years of his boyhood
on a cot in hospital, amusing him
self drawing pictures. From the
hospital cot he graduated to crutches
and promoted himself from his
pencils to oils. A few years ago he
triumphed over the crutches and last |
July secured position in the draft
ing department OF the Highway
Commission, at Bismark, in the hope
of picking up some of the technique |
of drawing
When asked after he had received
his check for the $4,000 how he |
would spend the money, he said:
Il am going back home to spend |
Christmas with the folks. Then l |
am coming back to Chicago to go to
the Art Institute to study Adver-
Using art ? All, no. His life am
,itions are two-to draw political
cartoons and originate a comic
strip
This tire naming contest, which |
staged in point of response brought
entries from close to million
people, submitting total of 1883
476 names. They were entered from
every state in the union, every
province of Canada, from Alaska,
Porto Rico. Hawaii, South America
and several points in Europe and in
twenty-five different languages, in
Guiding one in Winnebago Indian
and several in the raised letter
writing of the blind.
The second prize of $1,000 was
awarded to Donald S. Gray, of |
Ames, Iowa, fer the name nnear
born s. R. Cords" and the third
prize of $500. was taken by a
woman, Mrs p. M. Decker, of Fort
Thomas Ky, who submitted the I
name s.. R. Argosy," In addition
to these three capital prizes the
company awarded 1857 honorable
mention awards for names of I'M

the channel temperature dropping to
ten or even twelve degrees lower.
That the channel can be crossed by
a swimmer has been demonstrated.
Recently Fred Cady, coach at the Los
Angeles athletic club, who has been
large factor in turning out crack
California swimmers, crossed it with
a relay of swimmers The first in
the water was Viola Hartman Cady,
his wife. After she swan a mile, an
other swimmer entered. Tempera-
lures were taken as the swimmers
stroked across the water They are
shown. The journey with fourteen
swimmers in the relay took 20 hours
and seventeen minutes, and the zigzag
course measured SO miles. This is
indicative Of the difficulty of the
swim. Trudy Ederle swan the Eng
fish channel alone in fourteen and one
half hours.
But then the English channel swim
mers swan fer glory. This swim is
for $4,000. The effort to cross on
January Is will be enormous. Will it
be done?

The winter time, with the snow

Bundled up warm, it's very nice
To take a ride in a one horse

Over the hills and far away.
The sleigh bells jingle as on we

And the merry tune of hoofs on
snow
Makes. rs all enjoy the fun;
Our hearts are happy, the horses
run.
We build our castles in the air,
AS We paint life's colors. bright

And the moon on the covered
hills of snow.
Gives lustre to all things here

State Population Is
 Larger in Govt. Data

Hartford, Sept. 21.-(P,-A dis crcpancy of 8 per cent between the 1925 death rate in the state as computed by the state department of health and the rate as computed by federal census bureau has led to the discovery that a new method used by the federal bureau for esti- mating population gave Connecticut a population of 1,572.000 in 1925, according to an announcement made today by Dr. Stanley II. Os- born, commissioner of health.
 This figure is 52,312 greater than that which had been arrived at by the state department which had estimated that the states population last year was 1,529,GSS. This differ once accounted for the variance in the death rate which was announced by the census bureau to he 113 per cent and by the health department to be 11.G per cent.
