 No more will the off-shcres of Venice be the scene Of interna- tional pajama parties, no moro will public dancing in bathing suits be tolerated, or even in dressing gowns. The Fascist Gov ernment has decrocd it, and the Vatican, which through its or gan, the "Osseryaore Romano" first started the drive for the morality Of the beaches." Is com placently regarding that which 1t has created, but is not yet resting from it's labors.
 For although the governmental authorities have sent out strong circulars 10 all the provincial projects who have shore resorts within their jurisdiction. urging them to see that the letter of the law Is complied with as re- gards clothing and promiscuity in bathing establishments, the Cath ollie hierarchy. through the same "Osservatoro Romano" urges the faithful to be just as vigllant as ever. Catholics, says the Popes own paper, must continue to collaborate" with the civil auth critics and denounce to them any 'infracticns or facile forgetful- nesses" on the part of holiday makers of both sexes.

U. s. Succeeds Russia
 As Model for China

SHANGHAI. July 17.-Ameri- can industrial efficiency, not Rus sian communism, is furnishing the inspiration for Chinese na- tionalism, says General Chien Ta-chun, in charge of the Shang- hai military organization.
 He told a group of Chinese re- gently that workingmen in Am erica earned as much as $700 monthly and that, even Chinese Cabinet Ministers could not live in luxury equal to theirs.
 There has been no war in America for more than 60 years, T General Chien told his hearers "and people devote themselves to construction rather than destruc- tion, which seems to be the order Of the day in China.

DALLAS, July 17.-The 10000 meters race ill the 1928 Olympics is over so far as the winner is concerned unless some one bribas Jose Torres with a banana and induces him to quit.
 This is the contention of mem bers of the contingent of Tara humara Indians of Mexico wHo passed through Dallas en route to Amsterdam.
 Torres, member of a half-wild band of Tarahumaras. has an ir- satiable craving for bananas. In winning the S9-mile run from San Antonio to Austin last year. he al most drove his trainer to distrac- tion.
 The Indian runner whose tribe rates as having the worlds su- prone marathoners simply cannot reject gifts of the tropical fruit. As result playful spectators tor mented him throughout the race.
 He ate most of the proffered fruit and still won the race. But the competition will be keener at Amsterdam, so members of the squad of 12 have been cautioned not to let Jose pass a fruit stand after he gets 10 Amsterdam.
 Torres compatriots may be ath- letes fully as capable as he, but there can be none so colorful. Tho ether members of the Mexican team have lived in civilization all their lives and have had the full benefits of athletic training while Jose learned to run long distances in order to eat and live.
 The appearance of Jose on the track at Amsterdam will be an apt demonstration of what athletics have done to ciyilize the world. Here IS a bobbed haired. be-sandal- ed little brown man who few .ears back was almost as wild as the buck deer that roam the Tar "huAhdid ihOuhidihS doout hiS home.
 Members of the Tarahumara tribe depend entirely upon the wings in their feet to provide meat for themselves. When the supply of venison runs low the bucks of the tribe organize deer hunts. A half dozen of the sturdy runners pick up deer trail and start after it in their methodical trot never stopping until they have run the creature into ex- haustion and have felled it with their knives. Such hunts have been known to last two days.
 It is the training received un- der these conditions that. his fel- low countrymen believe, will make Jose unbeatable at Amsterdam Torres won the S9 mile race from San Antonio with time of slight ly more than IA hours but that was scarcely a fair test of his ability since he was held in check all the way in order that Thomas zafiro, one of his companions, might finish with him. Those who followed the Indians on that long, iscorching hot day, estimated that Torres could have clipped at least two hours off his time if allowed to set the pace.
 The Tarahumaras as a tribe run for pastime. When the 4noon shines, their plaics and mountains are alive with runners. Their very name comes from an ancient work of their race. meaning foot runners. His kind always have been accustomed to dashing about. There is no explanation except for the same reason that a bird flies or fish swims. :

Smith FACING
HARD TASK ON
WESTERN TRIP
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Omitted Press Staff correspondent)

ALBANY, y, Y, Sept. 12.-Tcn
davs of rest and recreation, inter
spersed with few hours daily in
his office, have put Governor Al
fred T.. Smith in excellent physical
condition for his two weeks western
campaign tour beginning Sunday
night, which will be trying even for
one in robust health.
The Democratic candidate has
PLAYED golf nearly every day and
has been sleeping more than usual:
lie still has a few more days for
relaxation, and will use them to
store up needed strength for the
long ride through Is states.
Campaign speaking is the hard
est task the New York governor
does. He throws himself wholly into
the effort. He does not have the
strenuous platform antics Of a Billy
Sunday, though he is Il mimic and
= pantomimist, but he uses just
about rs much energy as the cvangc-
list.
This campaign will be trying
ordeal, because he has decided to
discard the usual formal manner of
presidential candidates, and to speak
c&temporancously. He will make
seven spccchvs in little over two
weeks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-Hcrb-
crt Hoover told a delegation Of 100
members of the National Woman S
party at his personal headquarters
today that he had ordered confidcn-
tial friends to make an invcstiga
tion to determine what the effect
OF proposed equal rights constitu-

Hoover said if he found the
amendment necessary to abolish
discrimination and preserve equal
ity of opportunity he would give
it "thc most favorable considcra-
tom but declined to make a pledge
on it until he had completed inVcsti-
CATION of the situation.
The Republican presidential nom
ince said he sympathized with the
theory of abolishing discrimination
between all classes in this country.
He insisted, however, that inasmuch
as there are numerous state laws
framed primarily for protection of
women, he could not at this time
give an endorsement to their con-
stitutional proposal.
Hoover said as soon as he re-
ceivcd a report from his friends
who are investigating the matter he
would take definite stand ON the

LIFE MYSTERIES
DRAW ATTENTION
OF SCIENTISTS
by United Press Leased Wire

GLASGOW, Sept. i2-Thc mvs-
terry of life occupied the attention
of the world 5 foremost scientists
today.
discoveries were announced to the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, in session here,
which limited that several scientists
believed they had lifted IL corner of
the curtain and caught Il glimpse of
the processes that make an animal
different from a stone.
The most startling announcement
was the statement of Prof. Frcde-
rick G. Donnan, of London, that he
believed, "thc day was nearer when
the Psychologist will be able to
create life. -
The statement caused furorc.
1t was made to the press in amplifi-
cation of last night S lecture in
which Donnan explained what he re
garded as revolutionary discoveries
about life made by Prof. Archibald
Vivian Hill, noted Psychologist.
Donnan qualified his statement
by explaining that such creation =
could only be in the simplest form
and that, although the day was
"nearer, y it still might be far off.
Nevertheless, the statement by a
reputable scientist that man ever
could create animate life was re-
ceived with amazcment.
"The present understanding of
the organization of life is such that
there is no reason why IA living cell
should not be constructed in a lab
oratory,' Donnan told the press.
Neither is there any reason why
the actual creation of life in warm
oceans should not be observed, but
the construction of living cells
could only be in the very simplest
form.
He admitted that it would take
IAN infinity of time, in fact, al
most unthinkable to construct Il
relatively complex organism such as
IN amoeba or sponge.
