MRS. ROSS DEFENDS
SMITHS DRY STAND
Former Wyoming Governor
Says Wet Opposition Is
Based on Hearsay.


CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. August is.
The prohibition baIefs of the Demo-
cratic party and particularly of its
presidential nominee. Gov Smith, we're
defended here today by Mrs Nellie Tay-
loe Ross. vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee and former
Governor of Wyoming. at the closing
session Of the Institute of Public AZ
fairs ( { , University of Virginia
"A large proportion of the opposition
TO Gov. Smith is based on hearSay evil
oence and lack of understanding of
the man and his purposes" said the
speaker. whose replies to questions con-
verted her hearers from rather hostility
to enthusiasm.
Il am convinced that Gov. Smith is
not man who INDUCES in intoxicants
TO any extent" Mrs Ross said.
II have heard charges of indulgence
against both men which am unable to
verify or contradict
I have heard from very close friends
Of Gov, Smith that charges against him
are not grounded on fact.
i have no reason to think that Mr..
Hoover INDUCES to excess, neither DO I
believe he Is a total abstainer. His
friends in New York make out that he
is not dry. In the South and West he
Is painted as a paragon of all prohibi-
zionist desires"

NATIONAL FLOWER
CHOICE IS SOUGHT
American Nature Association
Launches Drive to De-
termine Preference.


An effort to find public choice
for national flower has been launch
ed by the American Nature Association.
1t is expected that the violet black
eyed susan. columbine, goldenrod, wild
aster and the wild blue phlox will be
in the forefront of popularity
Many States have a State flower. hut
there has been no concerted move
looking toward the selection OF flower
symbol for the Nation
Women's clubs and schools are asked
to express an opinion. and 1t is suggested
that the project would make an in
teresting study for the Fall term.
Chart to BE Published.
The association will publish a chart
in Nature Magazine. its official organ,
to give an idea of what points should
be considered The letters P. B and A
stand for perennial, biennial and annual.
and the rest of the classification provides
an idea of what the plants are like
in color and height and when they
may be expected to bloom as part of the
garden color scheme:

GoldcnrOd Considered Favorabiy.
The goldenrod has been considered
'avorably, say officials of the association
in spite of its disrepute as harbinger
of hay fever. That. they declare. Has
been proven untrue.
The wild aSter Is to be found in many
varieties all over the country. The wild
blue phlox blooms in early Summer. and
many garden varieties bloom over a long
season. A point in favor of the phloX
is it may be red. white or blue.
The variety of colors may bring the
violet popularity. Then. too it Is found
all over the country. The black-eyed
susan grows everywhere and makes a
fine showing in garden
The columbine will doubtless meet
with favor because it can be had through
early Summer in the East. while the
mountain varieties grow later. It is
found wild in red and yellow

 BIG FEE ID HAzEN
Water Boald to 1ks Up Cost of
 EnSinodilS

Mayor Paonessa has already as- quainted the board of water com misdoners with the fact that he ts opposed to the payment of 7h per cent fees for engineering services to be furnished by the offices of Allan Hasen. he said today. and the board meeting tonight will discuss the question with this fact in mind.
 The mayor is opposed. he said. to the payment of any fee to consult ing engineers excepting when prob lems arise and when they are called in by the board. Under the plan which MT. Hazen seeks to have adopted. his office will furnish en- Eineers and inspectors. and in addi. ton to the regular fees. will be ,aid 315o . day and expenses whenever consultant comes to this city. Mayor Paonessa has faith in the ability of Engineer Joseph Holden. now in the departments employ, and feels. he said. MT. Holden can handle the job in satisfactory man. ner.
 Until this question is definitely settled. the project will not be un- dertaken. Mayor Paonessa has es- timated the engineering costs under the Hasen plan to be approximately $150,000.
