AL TO Spend
z BUSY DAYS IN
CHICAGO VISIT
Too Much Work to Rest,
Democratic Nominee
Is Told.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-Governor
Alfred E. Smith found the windy
city rustling with politics today.
Having come here under the mis-
taken impression that he might rest
for a day, only to find scores Of
plans for turbulent demonstrations,
the Democratic nominee acceded to
the pleas of the leaders and gave
himself up to two intensive days of
campaigning.
Delegations besieged him at his
hotel headquarters, lieutenants
rushed in with plans for this or that
parade. photographers of the met
ropolitan press doomed flashlights
in his ears, a hundred newspaper
men assembled Tor a conference
with him.
Between times, he worked on the
speech he is to deliver at down.
town armory Friday night.
The welcome received by the
Governor on his arrival at 10 p. m.
Wednesday night gave some indi-
cations of Smiths popularity here.
1t was by far the greatest dem
onstration he has witnessed. The
big lobby of the union station was
packed to overflowing and tens of
thousands lined the streets, which
we're guarded by police stationed
only a few feet apart.
Ward leaders denied the reception
was staged and said every effort
had been made to keep it "infor-
NAL" in accordanc with Smiths de-
Sires.
They said the big demonstrations
will be staged when he goes on his
tour of the city either this after
noon or tomorrow.
The Governors cars were shot
through the streets at fifty miles an
hour to bring him to his hotel.

make forty-seven miles an hour, as

per cent of all humans die OF dis
eases which killed their ancestors,
DR.. Charles Mayo, noted Rochester
(Minn.) surgeon told members Of
the American Public Health Associ-
alton who are holding their fifty
seventh annual conference here.
The Rochester surgeon was one
of the central figures Wednesday in
what was termed the most signifi-
cant cancer discussion held in
some time"
Prevention Stressed
Six noted specialists on cancer
joined in the discussion. All six
discussed prevention almost as much
as they did curing of the disease.
For the individual" declared DR..
Joseph Bloodgood, Johns Hopkins,
there are definite preventive
measures. This is the important
thing to remember: Cancer starts
from things which are not cancer.
"Moles, birthmarks and other skin
signs should be examined for can
cerous tendencies and then re-
moved. Dirt on the face may turn
to skin cancer"
Beware of cancer cures" DR..
Mayo said. IT have read Of not less
than 5000 cures for cancer, and I
can count on the fingers of one
hand those which ere Of any value
whatever"

10 The POOR CORPORATIONS:
By Charles T.. DriscoI

sitions involving direct contact with the public.
Railway conductors generally are exceptions to this
sad rule. They are nearly always men Of judgment and
discretion.
But the public contact people with whom ! have the
least patience are railway ticket sellers in big cities.
I commute daily between Yonkers and New York on
the New York Central. and every once in a while I run
up against the most monumental stupidity on the par.
Of that great railways ticket sellers in Grand Central
Terminal. | see and hear other passengers having SIM
liar troubles, and I hear talk about II on the trains con-
stantly, and ! marvel at the brains that can direct such
a sadly handicapped organization 10 success. For |
always appeal directly over the head Of the ticket SELL
ers, and | always find the high officials Of the roa.
courteous and efficient. Surely. they never rose fror
the ticket cagesi Or, If they did. who will rise to take
their places when they grow old?
The top men in the great corporations are anxious,
above all else, for public approval. and for goodwill
They know their ship will surely sink without these
They are constantly devising schemes "
make Il impossible for ticket sellers and other public
contact folk to insult and drive away their customers
Thus, the New York Central men have devised a dumb
proof Communication ticket, for use next year. It looks
50 simple that anyone would swear the ticket sellers
couldn't start a fight about il. But I'll wager they'll
find a wayi
Because of the general inefficiency prevailing in
ticket cages. ! have a pet theory that il would be easy
for q bright and courteous young man to make a nam
for himself In one Of them. and attract 50 much publ
attention. merely BY doing his work properly, that
the road would be forced to make him president.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives


Northwestern farmers are practically unanimous
that there be no consideration of farm relief by the
present session Of congress, demanding in no uncer-
tain tones that the proposed farm relief measure bc
held up until the extra session after March 4. when
President Coolidge has retired and there Will be no
danger Of a third veto.
The farmers are looking to Hoover for the relief
promised by the republican party eight years ago. The
campaign utterances Of the president-elect have ere
ated renewed confidence that the extra session will
deal with the problem along new lines, not in full &C.
cord with the theories of the proponents of thee Nc
bill, but which, the farm leaders aver,
will at least grant some measure of relief to the in.

Their IN meeting the demands Of the farm organizations
in regard to providing funds for the purpose Of taking
care of SURPRISES, than would President Coolidge, and
consequently they prefer not to hazard a farm relief
measure while the latter retains the veto power.
The American Farm Bureau Federation, in annual
convention in Chicago last week, went on record As
opPosig any effort Of the short session to deal with
the farm problem. Their vote was one Of lack Of con-
fidence in the Coolidge administration. but they did
express confidence IN the Hoover administration to
work out a farm relief measrree. Resolutions adopted
by the convention, entitled "A National Policy for Az
riculture," r~estated the federstion's old position On the
equalization fee. but members admitted they believed
their position hopeless. As an alternative they 1-oposed
that legislation be adopted TO make the tariff Z cctivs
on surplus producing crops using cooperative > rket-
ing associations as the instrument for msrkt Ig not
only the surplus, but 81 portions Of our faIA crops,
and containing definite checks and penalties upon over
production. Leaders stated that the federation is ode
voted to getting legislation for surplus control. II we
can't get every detail We shall work to get the best
we can. We are not going 70 enter the farm relief sit
nation as it stand with a dog in the manger' attitude.
II u not our ambition 70 put 5r. Hoover in the hole
This attitude Of the federation Is commendable.
The alternative proposed for the equalization fee-co-
operston-vill receive the unequivocal endorsement OF
the business interests Of the country who vigorously OPP
pose a subsidy to any industry. II will place the farm
srs in a new position, q position in which they volun-
tser 10 help themselves II the government will assume
leadership and congress pass the necessary legislation.
Cooperation will accomplish more in the way Of
solving the problem Of SURPRISES than all the equaliza-
tion fees or subsidies congress can vote. 1t would
place control Of marketing within the power OF the
farmers themselves, and would assure that the success
Of the industry would depend upon their own efforts
and management.

The bureau ~ aeronauticS cannot too strongly rec
ommend the addition Of aircraft carriers to the fleet.
The bureau believes it is q matter Of immediate impor-
tanc that the necessary steps be taken to provid for
tn remainder Of the carriers tonnage. The most ur-
gent matter before congress Is the passage Of the new
construction bill, which carries with il one carrier Of q
size and design approved by the department.
AS to personnel, at the end Of the fiscal year there
were 737 officers and 11,i21 enlisted men on duty in
connection with naval aviation, Of which 466 and 1li,
respectively. were engaged as pilots. II Is desirable to
enlist men for aviation duty, instead Of present prac-
tic Of drawing them from other branches Of the serv-
ice. and departmental consideration is being given this
subject with a view to obtaining more naval pilots. All
naval aircraft made 15o,525 flights during the fiscal
year. OF these heavier han-air craft made 1885
flights consuming 1926 flying hours. There were
253 crashes or enc to every 54265 flying hours during
the fiscal year. In these accidents IS fatalities re-

also to naval aviation. The country as a whole j.
