Bowling may be a young
ster's game in this age, even
as golf, but pioneers of the
duckpin sport are almost hold
ing their own with the youth
that must be served.
Jack Williams, who took part q
quarter century ago in the first
team duekpin match rolled in Wash

in the mammoth Masonic League
this season. In his last appear
ance with the Lafayette Lodge team
he knocked over 393 pins for the
second highest set recorded in his
organization.

his 116 was remarkably good.

hopeless outlook.

Open Air Addresses Are Crowned Upon-Will
 Be Voice Saver

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-There will be on open air campaigning for Gov Alfred E. Smith if he can help it. Radio has too much of an appeal for him. This idea is being impressed upon the Democratic Presidential nominee constantly by his political asso- ciates although he personally, it is known, has felt for some time the futility of conducting an ex- tensiye speech making tour when such modern means as radio, with voice saving qualities, is available.
 Gov. smith has had consider able experience with the old GUS tom of literally taking the stump and extending his voice in an effort to reach the fringe of the crowd
 Whether he adheres strictly to the indoor speaking program de- bends upon the availability of broadcasting facilities.

SIGNING OF KELLOGG AGREEMENT
 MAY PRESACE WORLD-WIDE PACT

PARIS, Aug. 24.-The big par ade of peace that will enter Quai d'Orsay August 27 may start q procession that will encircle the world.
 That first act looking towards the eventual ratification by the original 15 signatory nations of the Kellogg multilateral anti-war treaty is expected to result in other nations voluntarily com ing under the sway of the pact to renounce war as an instru- ment of national policy.
 The treaty as originally offered by Frank B. Kellogg, American Secretary of State, was confined to six powers, but was subse- quently widened to include 15. It is regarded as likely that the in- itial ratification ceremonies in the French Foreign office will stimulate the interest of other governments
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-08-24

The treaty will result in con federation of countries agreed to renounce war among themselves. and its acceptance marks one of the most ambitious efforts in his- tory to realize world peace.
 In the exchange of correspond ence with Washington accepting the treaty. however, the stipula- tion of understanding of it's terms is made excepting wars of self defense and reserving to each signatory the right to judge for itself when war for defense is necessary. The Kellogg treaty provides no machinery for its enforcement.
 The inception of the treaty dates back to April 6, 1927, when Aristide Briand, French Foreign Minister, conveyed to the United States, through the Associated Press, his country's willingness
