 Gouraud and the police chief were reported as insisting on the traditional military method of de- fense; the establishment of strong garrisons and posts at strategic points, with mobile forces to pa tror the streets and strengthen any points attacked.
 The army plan. said to have been adopted. was to form a hol- low square around the main gov ernment buildings, grouped in the center of town, and to hold that spot as the seat of government until troops were assembled, at Versailles and marched on the city to recapture it, as has been done before.
 Newspaper m Hillary writers promptly criticized the plan as wrong in that it would leave the insurrectionists full control of all public services, water, light, transportation and food supplies and would invite the pillage of banks and stores and expose to violence almost the whole of Paris anl its population.

 PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.--Sci- ence, always puzzling over the answer to some questions that the average man conceded is too much for him. now tackles the problem of Why do people fall in ?"--and answers it, too.
 Eyes. says Professor Clarence Smeltzer of the psychology de- partment of Temple University, are the chief lure employed by Cupid. At least. investigators have found more lovers who attributed their state of mind to that source than any other.
 In discussing the Social Char acteristics of Adolescents, Pro- lessor Smeltzer said that eyes, whether blue, brown or assorted. are most often responsible for persons falling in love.

Quickly Replies to Cues ton Shouted at Him
 During Speech

WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 2. An audience which gave shouts of What About Prohibition was told by Senator Joseph T. Robin son last night that neither the Democratic nor Republican Party was dry and T want you to get that and go your way with it"
 Senator Robinson shouted: Neither Party has ever declared for Prohibition in it's platform. Gov. Smith has told you where he stands but Hoover has never talk en the American people into his confidence. You don't know whether he favors modification or not"
 Senator Robinson was just wind ing up his speech here when shouts about Prohibition were heard. Previously he had given the Republican farm record, rak- ing 1t from end to end, had as- sailed Senator Charles Curtis and Herbert c. Hoover on the farm relief question and had taken a thrust at William Allen White for his attack on Gov. Smith.
 Senator Robinson also thumped President Coolidge for vetoing the Soldiers bonus, assailed those op- posing Smith because of member ship in the Catholic Church. and laid down a verbal barrage around those who oppose sending Smith to the White House because they believe his birth was humble.

RACE HORSES BURNED, MYSTERY FIRE
SENATOR BORAH. ATT ACKS SMITH. FOR CRITICISM
Condemnation of Hoove CT Brings Out Rejoinder
 from Idaho Man

MINNEAPOLIS Minn., Oct. a. United States Senator William E. Borah in a campaign speech here last night, said Gov. Alfred E. Smiths criticism of Herbert c. Hoover for acts of his fellow cabi- net members was no more justified than blaming Smith for the mil lions grafted by Tammany Hall.
 Before a crowd filling the Muni- cipal Auditorium and hooked up with 40 radio stations, the Idaho Senator took Smith to task for reference to Hoover and the oil scandal.
 Senator Borah said: "The logic of Smiths contention was that you should condemn Hoover be- cause he was a fellow member with a Cabinet officer who be- trayed his country and sold his birthright for a mess of pottage
 T do not desire even by infer ence to be understood as excusing or apologizing for those who prov ed recreant to every sense of de- ceney and righteousness, but I do propose to defend Hoover against imputations and propose to in- yoke the same example as Smith is doing.
 Smith has been a member of Tammany Hall for 30 years. He has been in the closest relation ship with the members. He has been one of the leaders.
 'Is he responsible for the steal ings and extortions of Croker?
 Did he ever condemn them?

ASsoclated Press Correspondent
 HARRISBURG, Oct 2.=Penn- sylvania, where regular Republi- cans have triumphed in every Presidential election since the days of Abraham Lincoln, except when it turned to Teddy Roose- welt in 1912, is becoming quite excited about the Hoover-S Smith prospects.
 On the face of the records, es- pecially in the last two elections W Il en Republican Presidential candidates received 100000 and 1,000,000 more votes respectively than their Democratic opponents, there seems little cause for ex- eitement on either side.
 Nevertheless. the Republicans, probably recalling that lin the Senatorial election of 1926, Sena- tor-elect William $. Ware received only 200 600 votes more than his Democratic opponent, William B. Wilson, are waging a strenuous campaign under the direction of Edward Martin, Chairman of the Republican State Committee.
 Democracy Not Dead
 Reassured by the Wilson show ing that Democracy is not yet dead in Pennsylvania, the Demo- crats are straining every effort to bring about an upheaval against Republicanism in the Keystone State. Realizing that Smith is the most popular Demo- cratic Presidential candidate that members of the party in this State have had the opportunity of working for in recent years, the minority party leaders have laid plans which they are sure will result at least in some addi-l tional seats in Congress and a larger delegation in the State
