HOOVER SPARS
With WORDS TO
FINISH SPEECH
Bars All Callers and Locks
Self in Study for Final
TuSSIe.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

PALO ALTO, Cal, Aug. 3.-Her-
hort Hoover was not cat home" to-
day. The Republican nominee de-
MED himself to all callers ana
locked himself in his study to GOT
the final st" and cross the final II
of his $500 word acceptance speech
which is to open the presldentlai
campaign week from Saturday.
Hoover never before attacked such
an imnortant political document
and he is having difficulty working
II out He started on the speech
a month ago, first completed 1t TWO
weeks ago, then he-wrote some Oh
it's provisions, cut it down by 2,oOo
words and now he is wrestling with
the printed copy.
The candidate has written many
highly technical reports in his
career and has dashed them all OH
in a hurry. However, as an engineer
an efficiency organizer and Secre-
tarv of Commerce he has not had
time to develop a fluent literary
style:
He has written several books and
translated some others, but all have
been of a technical nature, relating
to mining engineering.
Now he finds influential public
officials and party leaders deluglng
MIN with demands that he touch
in his speech nearly every pubic
issue which has been discussed In
the last few years. He has tried to
handle many, but many others have
been eliminated.
His policy has been to seek the
elimination Of all unessentlals and
yet make clear his position regard
ing the important issues.
He has consulted scores of per-
sons and gathered many facts, but
probably his most helpful adviser
was his friend, Assistant Attorney
Generally William J. Donovan, who
has acted as a sort Of attorney for
him.
His friends have told him the
public will look in his speech for his
stand on two important issues, farm
relief and prohibition. He has spent
more time on these two subjects
than on all the others combined.
No important visitors are expect
ed at his home before the middle of
next week, when Republican lead
ears will begin to arrive for the
acceptance ceremony.
No change has been made in his
plans for the future, except that
he may cut short his proposed visit
to Los Angeles the week of Aug. IL.
Present plans call for only one
day stop at Los Angeles instead of
three days. He likewise has about
decided to abandon any hope of
visiting the Grand Canyon and
probably will proceed direct from
Los Angeles to West Branch, Iowa,
to participate in a three-day home
coming ceremony at his birthplace.
Dante Pierce, Des Moines farm
journal editor, brought Hoover a
cheering report from the agricul-
tural belt late yesterday, before the
candidate went into seclusion.
Pierce declared that George Peek,
chairman of the Corn Belt commit
tee of twenty two, who has been
in conference with Governor Alfred
E. Smith, the Democratic nominee,
is Democrat and is associated with
Democrats.

READY TO FIGHT
FOR UNDERPA ASS
TO LAST ditch
County Commissioners
0. K. Citizens Petition for
Holt Project.

County officials and citizens fight
for paving of Holt Rd. from Ma
tional Rd. to Morris ST., with a
railroad underpass, will be taken to
the public service commission if
necessary, it was indicated today at
a hearing before county commits
sioners.
The commissioners went on rec
ord as approving the petition for
the road with the underpass, laying
the plan before the county council
in a request for the appropriation.
Objections were raised by General
Superintendent G.. ]. Jeffries of the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis g. East
ern Traction Company and by G.
H. Schlotter, jr., division engineer,
Tor the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The small courtroom of the COM
misSionerS was crowded to capacity
with members of the Wayne Town
ship Civic League demanding the
road with underpass. Their dele
cation was led by Vice President
W. P. Holmes and Attorney John
Royse.
Railroads Object
Despite objections of the rail-
roads, Commissioners Cassius l.
Hogle and George Snider remained
staunch in their position for the
Underpass, which would add ap-
proximately $65,O00 to the cost OF
the proposed $4,000 road.
If the roads continue to refuse
to agree to the underpass, we vii,
appeal to the public service COM
mission" Hogle said.
President George Montgomery OF
the council, before which the long
fought battle will be continued
Sept. 4, was present today. He said
he will not support any plan other
than construction of the road and
underpass. Montgomery is leader
of the controlling faction on the
council.
Objections of the roads centered
about their contention that traffic
there is not sufficient to warrant
such a costly construction, while
Royse pointed to the growing use
OF indianapolis airport, painting
pictures of Mars Hill as being one
Of the key stops on numerous
transcontinental air lanes, and Holt
Rd. crowded with trucks and cars
to and from the field.
Cant Afford 1t"
1.-THE T. H, I. & E. is almos
bankrupt" Jefries said, land re.
ceiver may be appointed unless thu
proposed merger with other lines i
approved by the public service com
mission"
His firm is unable to bear its
share of the expense Jeffries said
He pointed out the view is not OBJ
structed, that an automatic fash
signal would be sufficient for the
road in place of the subway, anc
that the public money would be
spent better elsewhere.
Schlotterer promised the mos
modern flash signal, in place of the
underpass.
Under the plan, the county would
bear one-fourth the expense of the
grade reparation, the other three
tourths to be borne proportionately
by the roads. The Pennsylvania
section would be for double tracks
capable of heavier loads, and the
traction a single line for lighter
trains, causing difference in the
proportionate shares of the cost.

The tendency to pray is as old
as humanity. The earliest saw
ages prayed instinctively. How
ever crude the religion of prin1-
tive man, however many his
superstitions, he yet had many
of the impulses that have stood
the test of time.
Belief in prayer repeatedly mas
been attacked as unreasonable.
Religion is not based primarily
on reason, however. This OF
course is not TO say that faith
should at any time go contrary
either to reason or established
fact.
But religion deals with that
which cannot be proved in the
laboratory. However much the
myriad activities of life may
tend to prove both design and
Creator, science has not proved
in & literal sense, the existence
Of God. The astronomer who
said he had swept the heavens
with his telescope and found no
God there, showed an astonish-
ing lack of understanding of the
meaning and claims of religion.
OF one thing we may be sure;
that science has discovered moth
ing that in any way precludes a
faith in the unseen. The modern
trend Of scientific thought sup
ports the contentious Of religion.
Christ gave TO the belief in
prayer, as old as humanity, a
new emphasis. Fol- the Master
prayed repeatedly. The prayer
known as the Lords Prayer is
one Of the great and compre-
hensive utterances of the Master.
Christ prayed in the Garden
of Gethsemane, He showed His
kinship with man in His desire
that, If it were possible, He be
spared the terrors Of the inn

pending hours. The request was
followed with a splendid resigna-
ton to the inevitable, and with
high courage and serene dignity
the Master faced the trial and
crucifixion.
On the cross the prayers, Of
the Savior were at once beauti-
full and majestic. His prayer
for those who crucified Him was
typical. His momentary despair
was followed with the simple,
Father into thy hands / COM
mend my spirit" "
The prayer of the Master re-
corded in the seventeenth chapter
of John is magnificent. Nearing
the end, Christ could say: II
have glorified thee on the earth:
/ have finished the work which
thou gavest me to do" The
work was over, the great task
done.
The Apostle. Paul emulated the
Savior in his dependence on
prayer. Repeatedly he prayed,
and urged his followers to do
likewise. In his farewell at
Miletus, the assemblage prayed
with Paul, 'tsorrowing that they
should see his face no more"
In his Epistle to the Ephe-
SLAMS, Paul declared that he
prayed that, rooted and ground
ed in love-" they might compre-
hend the breadth, length, depth
and height Of the love of Christ.
Men have prayed through the
ages, and will continue so to do.
The million marvels of life, DEM
0nstrated and proved, do not
make a belief in the efficacy of
prayer unreasonable. We live in
q universe of marvels.
Prayer is spiritual need.
Through prayer alone can the
soul be drawn neaf to God.'

If you are seeking ideas for the
table decoration for Christmas and
do not want to use flowers, re-
member that you can make gay
and modernistic Christmas tree
centerpiece by simply forming a
cone of cardboard and applying
rows of fringed green crepe paper
round and round it.
Cut double thicknesses OF paper
in two inch strips and fold It;
fringe the cut edges to a depth
of one inch; cut small circles from
the cardboard cone and paste tissue
paper in brilliant colors over the
holes; then taste the rows Of fringe
around the zone.
Use small boudoir lamp with
globe as a mounting for the tree
and when the light snaps on You'll
have as colorful and appropriate {
Christmas centerpiece as the heart
could desire.

He reached the door, gave her ool
last piercing glance-to FIX forever ,
memory that white face With ID dasll
staring, tragic eyes.
"Duane"
He fled with that moan iilcs tkundsS
death, hell, in his ears.
Duane had been three months out
of the Nueces country. At Fl Paso
he bought the finest horse he could
find, and, armed and otherwise out
fitted TO suit him, he had taken to un-
known trails.
Leisurely he rode from town to
town, village to village, ranch 10
ranch, fitting his talk and his occupa-
ton to the impression he wanted to
make upon different people whom he
met.
He was in turn cowboy, a rancher,
cattleman, stock-buyer, a boomer,
a landhunter; and long before he
reached the wild and inhospitable Ord
he had acted the part of an outlaw
drifting into new territory.
He passed on slowly because he
wanted to learn the lay of the country,
the location of villages and ranches,
the work, habit, gossip, pleasures, and
fears of the people with whom he came
in contact. The one subject most i'm
polling TO hin-outlaws-he never
mentioned; but, by talking all around
it, sitting the old ranch and cattle
story, he acquired knowledge calcu-
lated to aid him much in his deep
laid plot. In this game time was OF no
moment; if necessary he would take
years to accomplish his task.
The stupendous and perilous nature
of it showed in the slow, wary prepa-
ration. When he heard Fletcher's
name and faced Knell he knew he
had reached the place he had sought
Ord was hamlet on the fringe of
the grazing country, of doubtful hon
esty, from which surely winding trails
led down into the free and never dis
turbed paradise of outlaws-the Big
Bend.
He saw a bright light before he
made out the dark outline of the cabin.
Then he heard voices, merry whistle
coarse song, and the clink of iron
cooking utensils. He sme1led fra
grant wood-smoke. He saw moving
dark figures cross the light. Evil
IDENTIFY there was wide door, or else
the fire was out in the open.
Fortune favored him. There was
bushes, an old shed, a wood pile, all
the cover he needed at that corner.
Before he peered between the rough
corner of wall and the bush growing
close to 1t Duane paused a moment.
This excitement was different from
that he had always felt when pursued.
It had no bitterness, no pain, no dread.
There was as much danger here, per-
haps more, yet it was not the same.
Then he looked.
He, saw bright fire, a red faced
man Vending over It whistling while
