Reeds roars out in the great open
spaces.
Senator jim Reed is a real candi-
date. Certain CUFF to the effect that
he is out stalking delegates for Al
Smith is thoroughly discounted by the
circumstances. There is no secondary
reward which to Jim would be worth
the bother. Only one ret .sonable pos
sibility occurs and that is the attorney
generalship, but Reed is not working
in Smiths behalf just for that
1t must be conceded that his chances
aren't a matter of great hope in view
of the strength of Governor Smith
But if anything should happen to
Smith he would stand out as aandi-
date who would look at least as prom
ising as Smith looks right now. Curl
ously enough, although Reed is a
champion of religious tolerance, one
factor in his present strength is the
probability that opposition to a candi-
dI te on grounds that he was anti-Wil-
son isn't as bad as opposition to a
candidate based on religious grounds.
Reed will be the second choice of a
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-10

healthy section of the Smith delegates
when they reach Houston. That will
cover most of those who have any sec
ond choice. His activities as a dan
didate are building up that strength.
If Reed should control enough dele
gates to block Smith with the aid of
.anti-Smith delegations of the south,
Reed would be in pickle as to whether
to turn to Smith or hold out against
him. This is a distinct possibility.
If Reed were to block Smith, Cow
ernor Ritchie of Maryland would be
sure to enter the picture, inheriting
n1any Smith votes. If the choice were
obviously between Reed and Ritchie.
it seems likely that most Of the south
ern delegates would go for the gov
ernor. 1t is interesting to observe that
! Ritchie has been boosting Smith,
whereas Reed is keeping quiet about
Smith and boosting himself. Under
the circumstances, each has thus far
played the game as demanded by wis
dom. One thing is sure. Not one of
the trio is pursuing any vice presi-
dental ambitions.
Over on the republican side, it's still
a fight between the Hoover politicians
and the anti-Hoover politicians. The
principal change is that the opposi
ton to Hoover has solidified, as evil
denced by the decision of Willis, Curtis,
Watson, Lowden and Dawes support
ers to pool their resources in an at
tempt to beat him with Willis in Ohio.
For AWHILE it almost looked as if
Hoover might get the nomination by
default Now, if Hoover wins con-
vincingly in Ohio he will have done so
only after beating the pack.
Dawes continues to be regarded as
Hoover's main peril, but there is less
dispositio nto count Mr. Coolidge out
of the picture.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
WISE BIRDS
BY JAMES

WISE BIRDS
I'm told that birds, if they but knew
That they could live the winter
through
And always find sufficient food
In every nothern latitude,
Would never in the autumn wing
To countries OF eternal spring,
Mid palm ard orange trees To play
Until the sun returned with May
But theories to this effect
I can't help thinking incorrect.
Supposing, tor example, you
Gould soar as wrens and robins do
And fly a thousand miles or so
To where there is no ice nor snow
Without cent for railroad fare
Or board and bed when you were
there,
Would you stay home and brave the
gale
Or would you hit the southwark trail
And in a SUMMER cline remain
Until the spring had come again?
1 think the birds know very well
That through the winter they could
dwell
Where they we're born and find the
fare
They need for their subsistence there
That every fall they hasten hence
just proves that they have common
sense!

A film company, advertising

Everything was proceeding

errally leave home for three rea,
sons: Either conditions are not con
genial at home, they are seized
with the spirit OF adventure or
they become boy crazy.
The unadjusted home is respon'
eible in most cases, he asserted.
The number of persons reported
missing in New York city during
1927 was 21,S00, an increase OF
500 over the previous year. the
ratio Of Increase applied to girls
as well as others.
Parents Blamed
"Its pitiful fact that the
parents themselves are responsible
Tor most girls running away from

often they do not understand their

Girls in small towns and rural dis.
fricfs make up this class. Many OF
them head for New York. thinking
: that here they can improve their
aronor1ic position or, perhaps,
achieve success on the stage.
aThev find that the high cost OF
Snaintenance in New York is out OF

that the stage Is not an easy load
to success and that the road te
stardom Is beset with pitfalls. The

Boy Crazy Girls
Another big factor is that 80
many girls are boy crazy. They
think Of little else. They feel that
their parents are holding them
down. The home town is tor small.

depart for the big cities-some
never to be heard of again.
Dance halls and motion picture
theaters are negligible factors IN
causing girls to leave home, Captain
Ayers asserted. He admitted, how
ever. that the movies frequently do
give young. impressionable girls the
wrong idea about big city life,
particularly the life on Broadway.
Photographs Of missing girls are
4 big factor in helping find them,
he said. The first thing Captain
Ayers, who has been searching for
missing persons for 10 years, does
Is to minutely examine the picture
of the missing person. If she is a
refined. sensitive girl. the face is
studied with a view OF answering
this question: Where would a girl
