COPENHAGEN, July 6.-An I'M
confirmed report here today said
that Captain Thornberg, in charge
of Sweden's Italia relief planes, had
wired Stockholm that a Swedish
plane had rescued Lieut.. Einer-Paal
Lundborgh, stranded on the ice off
Foyn Island with five members OF
the Italia crew.
Lundborg flew to the ice encanp-
ment almost two weeks ago and
made a landing and takeoff, rescu-
ing Gen. Umberto Mobile, COM
n1ander of the Italia. On the Sec
ond landing on the ice his plane
was damaged to such extent that
he could not take off.
The report here said that Swedish
planes now were attempting to res
cue the five members Of the crew
Of the Italia.
These five men include Lieutenant
Viglieri, who was placed in COM
mand~of the group after Mobile left,
and Natalie Ceccioni, engineman on
the Polar dirigible, injured when
the dirigible crashed May 25.

The President was not suf-

SMITH MAY. Be
CALLED ON TO
STUMP NATION
Hundreds of Cities Insist on
Personal Visit by N. Y.
Governor.
BY PERCY B. SCOTT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, July 6.-Despite
the desire of Governor Alfred E.
Smith to spare himself a strenuous
presidential campaign, it is probable
that the Democratic presidential
candidate will be kept on the road
most of September and October.
Hundreds Of messages have begun
pouring in on the Governor, most of
them insistent, that he show him
self in this or that town through
the West and far West during his
campaign.
A tour embracing a dozen or
fifteen of the largest cities in the
nation had been outlined for the
candidate, to be supplemented by
radio talks and press interviews, but
on the eve of the visit of Senator
Key Pittman to the Governor, this
plan seems about to be abandoned
Likes to Meet People
1t is argued that Smiths most
valuable asset is his personality, and
that this is entirely lost by radio,
so he must get out and meet the
people.
While the Governor is now feel
ing in the best physical condition
of years, he is not taking any too
kindly to the idea Of so or rs talks
in as many different cities, en-
bracing most of the West, Northwest
and Pacific Coast States.
But on the other hand. Smith
likes to meet people, and this, more
than any other one thing. may in
duce him to submit to a long speak
ing trip.
Back at Desk Today
The Governor was back at the
executive mansion today, enjoying
a relief from the intense heat which
hung over New York City while he
was there.
Senator Pittman is expected here
late today. and probably will be the
weekend guest Of the Governor at
! the mansion. While here he will
settle, with the Governor, the date
for the official notification ceremo-
MES, expected to be held in Albany.
Smith is devoting some thought
to a vacation to begin late next
week, during which he will prepare
his acceptance speech. He has been
advised to go to Maine. and also
has an offer Of a summer mansion
in the Adirondacks at Brant Lake
May Stay in Albany
He also has an idea that he might
remain in Albany and make num-
Der of short trips from here leaving
the work of the State Government
to his assistant, George B. Graves.
His schedule next week calls for
onl ytwo engagements. Tuesday he
will visit the Boy Scouts camp at
Bear Mountain, and Wednesday he
will confer with the national Demo-
cratic committee in New York. At
that time he will meet his running
mate, Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
for the first time since the nomina-
ton was made at Houston.

ACREAGE CUT FoRESEEN
Less Ground May Be Put in Wheat
for 1929 Crop

Wheat acreage in Indiana for the
1929 crop may be less than normal,
according to information received
by I. H. Hull, general manager of
the purchasing department of the
Indiana Farm Bureau.
Representatives of the department
from many sections of the State
report that about three-fourths OF
the wheat growers will not ahve
seed to, plant. 1t will be necessary
for them to purchase seed wheat
and it is evident that they will limit
teeir purchases TO the minimum,
Hull says.
He urges each grower to SOW
normal acreage and predicts that a
fair price return will be received.

With our modern systems of re-

hungry and the digestive juices are

sible to be poisoned, by food which

are some insidious poisons, such
as the poisoning produced by the
bacillus Bo.ulinus, which are very
hard to detect, the action Of which
is very positive and dangerous.
This poison is found mostly in
canned goods, especially in canned
string beans if the can has rustcd
and air has been let into an onening.
This poisoning, however, occurs very
rarely in canned string beans put
up by canning companies. but is
more often found in the home canned
string beans, where .hey are put
up in glass jars and sealed properly.
Oysters and clans which seem to

If you are foolish enough to eat

Learning How to Learn
minneapolis Journal)


Tie University of Minnesota has confirmed
something that distressed parents have long
suspected. 1t is that many freshmen in the
University do not know how to study.
The assumption of educators that ability to
study is a concomitant of ordinary intelligence
has become point Of criticism from without
the high schools and colleges. Now the Uni
versity has put the assumption to the test. A
trial series of lectures and demonstrations, Gov.
cring five weeks, was offered to show twenty
five students how they could make better use
OF their time for study. simultaneously a
slmllar group who did not take the course was
used for purposes of comparison. The series
was aimed particularly at students who had re-
ceived low marks in their college ability tests
and seemed to need assistance in developing
study technique to offset other handicaps.
Surprisingly, it was found that those whose
tests had indicated the higher college ability
profited most from the course.
The students spent twenty hours a week in
study outside cassrooms, in the first two
weeks OF the course. During the last two
weeks they had increased the number of study
hours to thirty-two. The fact was revealed at
the start that twenty-five per cent could read
no better than grade school children, and so
were severely handicapped in an effort to get
knowledge from books. because they lacked
command Of the most elementary tool of learn
ing-reading ability.
Among the group were students who owned
they had gotten by" in high school without
exe-ting themselves, and these were the ones
who, continuing the process in the University,
had reached the point where they needed help
even to 'get BY"
Judging by the results of this experiment,
hundreds OF boys and girls fail to get in the
high schools prime essential of further educa-
ton, and for the matter of that, prime es.
sential in the workaday world That the Uni
versity of Minnesota should have grappled at
last with this defect should inure to the great
good of every student who enrolls on the
campus 1t would seem desirable that all STU
dents who are shown to be in need of such a
course be required to take it, especially as the
Minnesota experiment has shown that those
most IN need OF it do not choose to take it, if
taking is optional
