SMITH GIVEN GREAT
OVATION AT DENVER

According to an arrival here
from Denver the ovation given
Gov. A. E. Smith of New York on
arrival there last week was the
greatest ever accorded visitor
to Denver, except that given Col
Lindbergh.

Nogales international., 1928-10-02

Now that Smith appears a sure
winner, the big question of the
hour is who will be the next Post
master and Collector of Customs?
Large crowds have been hearing
Gov. Smith speak over the radio
at The international office. Those
radio talks are winning him many
votes in Nogales and elsewhere,
among both Democrats and Re-
publicans.

"Many Democrats urged Mr..
Miller to enter the race for the
Stste --Senate' said the local Re-
publican paper Saturday night.
Yes, some Democrats did, and they
did it at the suggestion of Senator
Bettwy himself. The Senator asked
at least one dozen Dmocrats to
cali on Miller and urge him to
make the race. Andy likes moth
ing better than political scrap.
Notwithstanding the local Re-
publican paper denies it is being

AS usual, the Republican paper
is grossly ignorant when it says
that Democrats will be found cam
paigning for Hugo Miller. And as
usual, it is wrong, when it thinks
that Republican Board of Sup
eryisors will be elected this fall.
Nogales Republicans, as well as
those throughout the nation, are
greatly worried over the presiden-
tai outlook. Smith is gaining
strength each week and it's prac-
tically a foregone conclusion he
! will be elected next month. His
wonderful personality is taking
the country by storm.

PIANO LEADS

Eighty per cent OF the radio
performances that filter into our
homes nightly through the radio
receiver would be impossible il it
were not for the piano. Al recent
check UP among many of the
larger broadcasting stations dis
closed the fact that in eight out
Of ten presentations put on the
air, the piano plays an essential
part. 1t Is indispensable in the
rendition Of dance orchestrations,
solos by singers and as an accom-
panying instrument to the per-
formances of violinists and other
instrumental soloists.
A statistician who makes Il q
ehobby of collecting freak statistics,
estimates that approximately
$4,000 times the music OF a piano
is heard in broadcasting every
night and that mo less than forty
million people hear its music.
The next time you sit down
before your loud speaker and turn
to your favorite station, make a
note of the number Of presenta-
tions in which the playing of the
piano is a part. Multiply that
by the number of radio stations
broadcasting on that particular

which represents approximately
the number of times piano music

A WILD PARTY : By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
CORRECT
MANNERS

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
divorced my husband. Is It
proper for me to wear my wed
ding and engagement ringss my
money paid for both.
2. When enrolling in an organ
ization, is 1t proper to say ! am
a widow? What name should 4

8. Is the above monogram still
in vogue. have space on the
die for another initial. Would
it be proper to have my mar
ried initial added?
A READER.
Whether or not a divorced
woman wears her wedding and
engagement rings depends abso-
lutely upon her own wish In the
matter. Usually after q divorce
these rings do not register such
happiness that she wishes to
have them where she can rec
them constantly.
2. When divorced woman en-
rolls in an organization she regis
tiers as being q divorced woman.
There are two forms OF name
that divorced woman may use.
The one that is used by people
'in society" is the last name Of
her maiden name used az first
name. For example, IL Mary
Smith marries and later divorces
John Robinson, she would use
the name Mrs. Smith Robinson.
The other form is for the
woman to use the first and last
names of her maiden name pre-
fixed to the last name OF her
married name: Mrs. Mary Smith
Robinson. The form you use in
your signature OF your letter to
me is, to my mind, the best
form to be used by q divorced
woman.
3. The monogram on your cor,
respondence card Is in good taste,
as far as lettering goes. But you
should add to these initials of
your maiden name the initial of
your married name.

port. And yet If we are willing
to stand off a bit and get a per.
spective on the troubles. whatever
they may be, we see quite easily
that few of them-almost none at
all-are so big as they seem in the
beginning, and important enough
to warrant another's advice, moral
support or even sympathy.
The odd thing about trouble is
that it always presents itself out
of all proportion to what 1t is
actually; it is like the frog in the
old fable who kept blowing him
self up bigger and bigger in order
to frighten someone who refused
to be frightened until finally the
frog burst under his own puffed
up pretensions.

3. What was homo primiGeniusT
4. What was the Heidelberg man?
s. What was the man Of Spy?
Answers.
!. An extinct creature. either n
very advanced ape or very primitive
man, remains of which have been
found in Java. The fossil dates back
approximately a million years and
represents the first manlike creature
known on earth.
>. The Piltdown man Of England,
represented by fossil jawbone. This
was a prehuman creature, probably
somewhat advanced from the pithecan-
thropus stage, about which little can
be definitely deduced because OF the
meager remains.
3. A manlike creature, but not a
true man, remains OF which were
found near Heidelberg. Germany. in
deposits which indicate an age OF
about 500 900 years. These fossils rep.
resent the first prehuman type known
in Europe.
4. A prehuman creature dating back
about zoe. 900 years, remains of which
were found in the Neander Valley in
Germany. The Neanderthaler was
not a true man but approached the
present human species quite closely
and may have interbred with the
early true men. He knew the use OF
fire and had evolved a crude religion.
S. A prehuman type similar to the
Neanderthaler, remains Of which have
been found In Belgium.

types. representing animals now van
ished from the earth, but undoubtedly
