HELM CLAIMS
Worse Defeat Than That of

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The
Smith-Robinson ticket of the Dem
ocrats will suffer an even worse de-
feat than that accorded John w.
Davis four years ago, Senator j.
Thomas Helm of Alabama predict
ed here today.
Heflin described the nominations
Of Smith and Robinson as the
worst work the Democratic party
had done in fifty years"
There is not the slightest hope
Of the Democrats winning in No
vember," he said. II haven't met
Smith or Robinson man in all
the people I have talked with since
the close Of Congress"
Heflin said three-fourths of the
women in the Democratic party
would oppose the ticket. He pre-
dicted several southern States would
put anti-Smith Democratic electors
on their ballots and vote for them
in preference to the regular party
electors.
Helm said Smith must explain
his attitude toward social equality
in his acceptance speech if he ex-
pected to get any support in the
South.
HE already has made one mis-
take by repudiating the party plat

| American people SET CIllS I6COIQ.
They eve Americans) consumed
334, 7O3,6 1O gallons of ice cream last
year, the department announced.
Did you get your share? 1t was
2.85 gallons That is on an average
each person in the United States
ate 285 gallons of ice cream. Last
year was a record year with total
of 11,038,6l0 more gallons eaten
than in 1926.
Executions and ice cleam-they're
far apart. But such is the passing
procession of life.
And from ice cream land, the far
north, came word of rescues from
death.
The Russian steamer KrasSin res
cued from an icy island five men
who were marooned there forty-two
days before, when the North Pole
dirigible Italia crashed. Death had
seemed almost certain for those men.
The day before the Krassin saved
from a twenty-foot ice foe, on
which they were drifting helpless,
two of the three men who attempted
to walk to the mainland from the
Italia crews camp. The world had
regarded them as lost long ago.
Rescue came too late for one man
of their party, the Swedish meter
ologist, Prof. Finn Malmgren. He
died month ago as the party
sought to fight it's way to the main
land, the scanty messages from the
north said.
There was little news this week
on the mystery of the death of Capt
Alfred LoewenStein, Belgium finan-
cier, third richest man in the world.
A report that fishermen saw d
parachute descend from an airplane
about the time Lowenstein diSap-
peared as his private cabin-airplane
was flying across the English chan
mel, came from France.
FLAME DEATH STILL MYSTERY
But there was little else to help
solve the mystery. Whether Loewen-
stein accidentally stepped through
the wrong door to fall into the
sea? Whether he deliberately killed
himself by throwing himself from
the plane? Whether he was pushed
or misguided through the wrong
door to death. Or whether he never
died at all?
In the Nnited States, politics was
not forgotten in spite of the heat
wave which brought deaths here
and there.
Hoover picked Aug. IL as the date
when he will be notified that the
Republican party has decided he, in
stead Of Senator Watson or several
other ex-aspirantS will make the
best next President of the United
States.
AL Smith picked John j. Raskob,
chairman of the General Motors
Corporation, to run the campaign
to seat him in the White House.
Raskob was named chairman of
the Democratic national committee.
The Anti-Saloon League began its
broadsides against Smith, Superin-
tendent F. Scott Mcbride declaring
Smiths election materially would
aid the liquor criminals Of the
country"

EVEN sHERIFFS NOT SAFE

Over in Pennsylvania SheriffS and
DIR raiders clashed. The PennSyl-
vania State Sheriff's Association
was holding a convention at Con-
neaut Lake Park, one of the usual
summer resorts.
The dry raiders led by the county
prosecutor crashed into the hotel
room in which the convention was
enjoying itself The sheriffs re-
sented the rude intrusion and blows
we're struck.
But the matter was compromised.
A bellboy was charged with possess
sion of liquor. Nine of the sheriffs
was arrested. Compromises are
wonderful things.
To counterbalance this there was
the peace note from Germany. Ger
many wrote the United States de-
claring herself 200 per cent for
Secretary of State Kellog's plan
that all the nations sign a peace
pact agreeing not to wage war eX-
cept in self-defense.

BY THE ZITENFIELD TWINS
Tor NEA Sarvice

TIME first step in learning how
L to swim is to overcome fear
Of the water.
The best way to do this, of
course, is to grow used to the
water while still young. Mother
used to take us in swimming when
we were tiny babies.
But we never we're afraid of the
water. 1t is a mistake to take any
child into the water who is afraid.
Give him sand pail and shovel
and let him dig around on the
beach and before he knows it he
will be wading. 1t is only a step
more clear into the water. =
Our advice is not for babies,
however. We want to try to help
boys and girls and adults make up
their minds to learn swimming.
Don't Use Floats
If starting in a pool, stick to
the shallow end until you really
can swim under your own power
Never use wafer WHY'S.
Try to duck and play ball or tag
in the water until you don't mind
going under. Wallow around and
learn to like the feel of water
You never can learn to swim
il you don't go under far enough
to wet your hair. Don't hold your
nose. either. Take a deep breath
hold it, duck to squatting posi-
ton, come up, eXhale.
If you do this easily, slowly, and
try to enjoy it, you can easily grow
used to water without being afraid
And you should learn to keep
your eyes open, too.
Many persons fear to open their
eyes. In keeping them shut, they
thus develop another kind of fear
for water.
When you have learned to duck
down and up again without being
afraid. or out of breath, try the
dead mans float"
Stretch out opon the top of the
water, face downwards, hand out
in font, face under water, with
breath held. The easiest way to dc
it is to start from the side of the
tank and kick off with your feet.
A BuOyant Feeling
Stretch out your arms as you
take a deep breath and push your
self from the side. If you hold youl
body out taut, you will find thai
you float across the water easily.
You will have to try it many
times before you can push more
than halfway across the tank. But
this gives you a feeling of buoyancy
that is essential to anyone who
wants to swim.
Try this dead mans float" fol
only a few seconds the first time
Just TO ~ the position. Then re-
peat, trying to get deeper breath
and stay af1oat longer.
Never strain yourself trying tc
stay af1oat longer than you car
easily. That will come later
But the minute you accomplish
good dead mans float" you have
learned several valuable things
needed in swimming: buoyancy, the
feel Of water on the face, the ability
to hold the breath without getting
scared, and a sense of easy motor
through the water.

HIGH OFFICIALS
TO HONOR Rail
LABOR VETERAN
'Herm' Wills to Be Given
Surprise Party on His
Both Anniversary.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Theyre
going to give Herm Wills surprise
party" July 16 at the Carlton Hotel
here.
Sixty-two years ago Herm, a
husky, black-haired youth from Ver-
mont, landed a job as fireman on
the old Northwestern Railroad in
Iowa. Running into the frontier
town of Omaha, he knew the old
West.
Senators, high labor officials,
railroad presidents and Cabinet
members will do him honor Mon
day night, when Wills, retired as
sistant grand chief and legislative
agent of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, now one of the
strongest labor organizations in the
world, celebrates his eightieth
birthday.
You could hardly say retired"
either, for he still visits his office
daily in his work as chairman Of a
general education committee of all
the rail brotherhoods.
Put Over lnSpectlOn Law
The story of the rise Of the
Brotherhood from a few struggling
unions is to great extent the story
of Wills. He was a trusted lieu
tenant OF P. M Arthur, great
Brotherhood leader of the last CEN
tury. and at one time held the
unique power, as assistant grand
chief, to suspend the chief If he
felt the latter were doing wrong.
He was no less trusted by Warren
S. Stone, later.
Perhaps his proudest achievement
was helping to put through the
Federal locomotive inspection law
of 1912, securing the aid of Presi-
dent Taft against powerful opposi-
ton.
Born In Vermont July Is, 1648,
self-supporting at II, the glamorous
western adventures of an elder
brother fired Wills imagination, and
he got his firemans job at Clinton,
Iowa, in 1866. At 81 he was driv-
ing his own engine, and at "a was
trusted with the Fast Mail and the
Denver Express.
They tell all sorts of yarns about
hin-for instance, about the rev
executive who went about pulling
signals on the engineers to see if
they were obeying them. When
Wills was stopped, he saw what had
happened, and waved his fists
wildly at the executive on the plat
form, with considerable rough
language.
'Fired" From Burlington
The executive complained. Wills
was called on the carpet. Eyes, ]
swore at him and if he ever does
it again, I'll stop the train long
enough to knock his block off," he
said. The executive received a gen.
tie warning to let Wills alone.
All this time he was active in la
Dor organization. He was charter
member of the Firemen's Brother
hood, joining at Clinton in 1868. In
1872 he joined the struggling en-
gineers' organization, and almost
Immediately became nationally
prominent in it.
He negotiated the second system
wide agreement ever entered-with
tn Northwestern. The ex-president
Of that road, r. H. Ashton, who
varied with Wills over many a coun-
Gil board, but is a lifelong friend
now president of the American Rail
way Association, will help to do him
honor Monday night.
Wills helped to lead the famous
Burlington strike. He was fired
from the Burlington for merely be-
longing to a labor committee anc
later returned to the Northwestern
