More or Less True


 Well, times change, and now when a girl crosses her knees it is sign she is modest.
 The reason we are positive some of the flappers don't see them selves is because they are not snickering.
 Not every modern girl is two faced, but some of them have enough surplus paint and powder on their one to take care of an- other one if they had it.
 There's always something to be thankful for, and we are glad per manent waves are more permanent than complexions, for it woula 5e awful for girls to have to spend .as much time in public renewing their waves as they do their bloom of youth.
 We didn't see how the Missis- sippi looked out of it's banks but we have a pretty fair idea of how it did-having seen cornfeds in their ultra modern outfits.
 The modern bridegroom doesn't get the thrill the old-timer used to. When the bride now starts unpacking her belonging there is not much among all those cute things he-and everybody else hasn't seen right along.
 Some girls give us the impress. sion that they think as long as legs no longer are a secret there isn't any use of hiding any oi them.

An army automatic roared and the

With the loot in their arms, the

3 DEMOCRATS
ON BALLOT IN
CALIFORNIA
Reed, Smith and Walsh Seek
Support Of Western States

HOOVER ALONE ON TICKET
Prohibition Principal Question
in Campaign-Religiou
Issues Injected
HOOVER ALONE ON TICKET

San Francisco, April 30.-(AP)-
California voters will cast their bal
lots in . presidential primary to.
morrow, which many observers pre-.
dict may prove the deciding factor
in selection Of the Democratic NOM
inee at the national party conven-
ton in Houston.
Three Democrats are seeking the
support Of the states 26 delegates.
They are Senator James A. Reed
Of Missouri; Governor Alfred +.
Smith of New York, and Senator
Thomas ]. Walsh of Montana.
The Republicans have only one
candidate-Secretary Of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, to whom the states
20 delegates will be pledged.
Prohibition has been the principal
question involved in the Democratic
campaign. Religious issues also
have been injected.
Friendship Turns to Animosily
The bitter struggle that took place
between William G. McAdoo, former
secretary Of the treasury, and Gov
ernor Smith for the presidential
nomination at New York City in
1924, has been carried into the Cali
fornia primary. Old friendships and
political alliances have turned to
animosity, and the man who NOM
mated McAdoo in 1924, former Uni
ted States Senator James D. Phelan
of California, now is supporting the
candidacy of Smith. The bitterness
between the factions was expressed
when Pheland declared he twas sorry
he nominated McAdoo in 1924"
McAdoo leads the dry delegation
pledged to Walsh, who also is backed
by the Anti-Saloon League forces
and the Woodrow Wilson Democrats.
An Unknown Factor
Reed is the unknown factor. Doubt
that the Missouri senator caH EVEN
hope to win the delegation has been
expressed by political observers, but
the vote polled by Reed, cutting into
the ballots cast for Smith and Walsh,
may prove the determining factor.

than formerly, he said. A large
number Of new tractors were noticed
and many farmers are plowinR,

When q cop calls for help, the
situation must be serious.
Riverside. the tranquil name
of the turbulent suburb, has
found itself in the backwash of
Chicago crime, with gangsters
in automobiles v0lleying at

ing the chief, Arthur Beltz,
that individual called upon the
county police to help clean
house.
Officials of the suburb today
were under armed guard to
prevent the execution of death
threats which every village of
ficer has received. The guards
were called upon following the
attack Saturday night on Chief
Bcltz and Officer Fred Molken-
tine by 10 armed gangsters.
Beltz escaped, but Molkentine
was shot through the head and
may die.
The gangster uprising is at

ceive the city's official welcome and
popular acclaim today.
As Baron Gunther Won Huenefeld,
Major James Fitzmaurice and Cap
tain Hermann Koehl drove through
cheering crowds from their hotel
to the city tug Macon, they gave
every evidence that they preferred
tho artificial blizzard to the swirl
ing SHOWS of Labrador they so
recently had experienced.
The flyers, as they left tho Ritz
Carlton hotel in 18th street, wore
the clothes in which they flew the
Atlantic and endured the hardships
of their two weeks exile in the north.
Major Fitzmaurice was jaunty in his
Irish Free State uniform, Captain
Koehl wore blue serge and . white
uniform cap and the Baron, nonocle
fast in place, had blue suit and felt
hat.
The Macon was boarded ut . mid
town pier and set forth to circle
the Statue Of Liberty among flag
decked harbor craft that all seemed
to have their sirens tied open for the
duration Of amenities. At The
Battery 10000 troops waited to es-
cort the foreign heroes on their
triumphal procession to the city hall.
Their Wives Arrive
While the flyers were receiving
tho marine welcome in the harbor,
the wives Of Captain Koehl and
Major Fitxmaurice and the latter's
little daughter, Patsy, arriving from
Europe to lake part in the celebra-
tion, landed a. the Battery and were

flyers through the city, began
marching northward along Broad
