The Italia Survivors,

The Italia Survivors.
The scsnt news afforded the world
relative to the plight of the five sur
,1vors az the Inflated Italia grows daily
more and more diSheartening. Ma
rooned on the drift ice near Foyn Is
hand rscked with fever unable TO
digest the scant supplies with which
they were furnished at the time of the
rescue OF Isundborg the gallant SWeo-
tsh sirman who went 10 their aid and
was himself marooned; too weak longer
10 maintain the radio communication
which had been established with the
Swedish rescue ship Quest with only
the INADEQUATE shelter of light tent
between them and the Arctic weather.
their plight diSmays the heart OF the
world The fantastic horror OF the
sinrv is augmented by the knowledge
Of the desperate five that the Russian
ice breaker KrsSsin is within twenty
Eve miles of them but is experiencing
Increasing difficulty in crashing its way
through to point from which they
can be reached. and that rescue planes
have flown over them and on two oc-
easions landed: vet that hope from this
method OF contact has now been prac-
tically abandoned.
When Gen. Mobile was taken OF by
Iundborg it seemed that his six COM
nanions at least would be swiftly
brought out in the same fashion, and
that there was q fair chance OF finding
ehe res, OF the party. Certainly the
italian commander would never have
consented to his own removal 70
safety had such not have been his
thought, With the general restored to
the base ship, Lundborg went back Tor
tfae next man, and his effort proved
how lucky had been his first achieve
n1ent. For his plane cracked up. ana
after being marooned for thirteen days
he was himself rescued only with the
greatest difficulty.
The suspense element in the plight
Of the known survivors Is its most
.oiSnsnt factor. 1t is always so,
whether the unfortunate victims be
miners entombed or q child lost in
csve or sailors incarcerated in dis
ahied and sunzen submarine Given a
ontck death, men can meet it undis-
nsaved and the world learn of 1t with
aorrow but without agony. 1t is the
torture Of threatened death, while res
cue seems possible but is not forthcom-
srlr, that drives men mad and leaves
vunrid sick with horror.
II is safe TO assume that everything
possible is being done 10 the end that
these men may be spared the fate that
has already overtaken one OF their
number. There Is still hope that these
efforts may be successful and that the
nightmare In which the survivors oil
the crew Of the Italia now live may
shortly be ended Until word is re-
eeived to that effect by waiting world.
tsaat world must. in a measure, share
me agony Of the direct sufferers.

The Battle of the Women.

Mrs Glenn Shaver. wife of the chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee. undoubtedly started something
the other day when she made her
statement relieving her mind of GER
tain opinions anent Gov. Alfred Eman-
uel Smith of New York She start
ed something which Mrs. Franklin
y. Roosevelt Immediately kept going
by another statement in which Mrs.
Roosevelt relieved her mind of certain
opinions anent Mrs. Glen Shaver She
started something which Mrs. Martha
Wright Johnson, former Democratic
national committeewoman from the
District OF Columbia, has further kept
going by Mrs JohnSon's statement,
published today. in which Mrs. john
son relieves her mind OF certain opin-
ions anent the statement of Mrs.
Shaver. Now it is Mrs Shaver'S turn
to speak again. or to designate some
one who will speak for her The round
robin should not be allowed to lag.
The country awaits with keen interest
the next move There are so many
politically prominent women now that
no great difficulty should be expert
enced in discovering potential sources
OF statements.
This is only the third national cleo
ton in which the women of the Nation
have participated under the rights
guaranteed them by the nineteenth
amendment In 1920 they were barely
given adequate opportunity to prepare
themselves for that battle. so closely
did the election follow upon the grant
of franchise, In 1924 they were warm
ing up. so TO speak. to the new respon-
sibilities of citizenship generously placed
upon their shoulders But in this cleo
ton year Of 1928 the preliminsries are
over. From this time on the women
of America will be found taking an in
creasing share in the give and take of
the qusdrennial row over the presi-
dency.
The interesting thing now is to de-
termine whether the political equality
won by woman voters is to wipe out
any of the old ideas of ethical conduct
so calamity adopted in the archaic
past by men. or whether. in the future,
the statement of woman is to be
judged on its merits. without regard to
the sex of the statement-issuer. Mrs
Shaver's statement provoked no re-
response from any man--that is. 1t pro-
voked no counter statement for the
press from any man. 1t is to be as
sumed that there were responses from
men, uttered in low. wailing tones, not,
however, for publication. But 1t was
left to a woman to combat the state
ment of woman. Is this the now
established custom? If so, let us have
more statements. Now that Mrs. Shaver
is conducting her own private war
within the ranks OF the Democrats. let
us hear from the wife OF some sup
poSedly embattled Republican farmer
of the corn belt her estimation of the
shortcomings of Herbert Hoover. Let
her statement be taken up by some
other prominent Republican member
of her sex. so that those who weary
OF witnessing the game OF ping pong
among the Democrats may find a
change OF scenery by looking to the
Republicans After that the best state
ment-issuers of both parties should be
pitted against each other to determine
the national championship II Mrs
Shaver has fired the opening gun, its
echo must not be allowed to die

USED BLACK-DRAUCHT

So He Decided to Try

Mr.. George w. Cassidy, of 254
Pine Bluff Street, Paris, Texas, head
of the shipping department of a
local manufacturing plant, has had
long experience in the use of Thed-
ford's Black-Draught.
II have used Black-Draught since
about forty-flve years ago." says Mr..
Cassidy. II took it for indigestion
and biliouSness. If 1 felt just the
least bad, I would take a dose of
Black-Draught and it always has
helped me.
"At that time, I was keeping store,
and saw other people buying Black
Draught. 1 found that when took
Black-Draught, it helped me, too.
"When take laxative or purga-
tive, want something that I can
take just a dose or two of, and then
quit taking it and feel as good as
ever. Black-Draught is a purgativs
like that. You don't have to take y
every night. 1 just bought a box
yesterday, and after forty-five years
find it does me as much good as
when 1 started taking it"
When you take Black-Draught,
the digestive organs are helped in a
healthful, natural way, and nor
NAL elimination is restored without
the sickening effects that character
ize the use of powerful mineral
drugs.

THERE sometimes is very great
l. mistake made by the young
singer which spoilS her songs sue
cess, and that Is singing a song in
a key unsuited to her voice.
If a song is even a half tone too
low or too high for her the differ
ence it makes is as the difference
between day and night.
OF course, every song chosen by
a singer should lie comfortably in
her voice, that is, well within the
range she sings at ease. But select
ing a song in the right key above all
others. calls for the very best tones
in her voice. Consequently, she is
heard at best advantage.
There is not an experienced prima
donna before the public but pays
heed to this fact; when she has
cold or does not feel in the best of
voice, she takes slightly lower key;
if in brilliant condition she takes
higher one.
The chief consideration is that
the song should be given as we'll as
she can give it in the circumstances.
There also is another safeguard
to be considered by the young singer
in choosing the key of her song.
Until she is thoroughly experienced
in appearing in public, the top notes
which she barely reaches in private
will prove unreliable when singing
to an audience.
In the latter case, with so much
to distract her attention at the mo-
ment, she should not attempt all,
but less than she can do.
She may, indeed, take risks and
get through by chance, but she is
more apt to make unfortunate tones
that will be unhappily remembered
by her and by her listeners.
In this case the song fails to
go" because of nervousness, failure
of the accompanist to support her

FATE OF SMITH
Will HINGE ON
MIDWEST VOTE
States Beyond Mississippi
Will Decide Election,
Experts Admit.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, ,Oct.16.-With the
election less than month away,
Republican and Democratic lead
ers agree that the battle will be
won or lost in the states beyond the
Mississippi The spotlight definitely
has shifted from the northeast,
where it had been expected the
fighting would be most decisive, to
territory supposedly discontented
with the present administration. S
farm policies.
The farmers fill the eyes Of Her
bert Hoover and his advisers as they
study charts which may spell vic
tory or defeat on Nov. 6. Though
Governor Smith has made his great
bid to voters of the west, the out
come in normally Republican strong
holds of the west will have aumore
decisive effect on his chances than
on Hoover's.
Though the Republicans expect to
carry some of the large industrial
states in the east, the G. 0. P. fig
ures it can lose them and still win
if it repulses Smiths western thrust.
Still Needs Votes
And the Democrats realize that,
even though Smith carries the Solid
South and all the seven seaboard
states listed as doubtful, he still will
need forty-two electoral votes to be
gained beyond the Mississippi.
Thus the Republican party, ac-
cused by discontented farmers of
being too friendly to industry and
neglectfuI of agriculture, looks to
the farm States for salvation.
Reports to Republican headquar-
ters speak optimistically of condi-
tions in the West. Smith is con-
ceded a fighting chance in only
three States - Wisconsin, Montana
and NebraSka-and in the latter
only if Senator Norris eSpouseS his
candidacy.

about those tones of which she is
not sure.
One such experience should put
her on her guard in the future, but
she does not want that experience
even once.
We hear a lot about "hitching
your wagon to star" think there
is a better way of getting ahead
than that. Set your limit, but not
so high a one that few can reach
it. When you have attained that
limit, set higher one, and so on.
There is a tremendous satisfac-

not take up singing because 1

TRAINMEN PAY
Representatives of Patrons

Commission.

By Ontted PrcSS
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.--The people,
who ultimately will do the paying if
wage increase is granted train
men of f1fty-f1ve western railroads,
had their inning today before
President Coolidge's fact-finding
commission in session here.
The commission may continue
hearing evidence until the last of
October, after which it probably
will review the testimony and then
make recommendations to President
Coolidge concerning a settlement in
the wage dispute between the train
men and railroads.
The public was represented at the
hearing today by the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce and the IL
linois Manufacturers Association.
Members Of these organizations,
testifying in behalf of the railroads
customers, were expected to say that
they believed present living condi-
tionS in the west did not justify any
increase in the pay of trainmen at
this time. q.
Although the representatives of
the rail roads objected most
strenuously to allowing a third
group to enter the controversy, it
was believed most of the "public's"
testimony would be in their favor
and would be built around the claim
of a "lack of necessity for any in
crease"
After "the public" is through
giving testimony, the carriers will
continue their rebuttal and the
board then is expected to take the
case under advisement before max
ing it's report to President Coolidge.
