MUCH INSANITY
 IN RUSSIA NOW
Asylums Are Overcrowded Thousands Should
 Be Confined

MOSCOW, Oct. 16.-Russ ia has encountereG serious prob lem in caring for her insane citi- zens.
 There are only 77 lunatic asy- lums in the whole country, with accommodations for 21,103 per sons. The public health authori- ties say that there are five times that number of lunatics in Rus sia who ought to be locked up.
 Money for this purpose is hard to obtain in Russia and some of the existing asylums need repairs. There are no funds available for building new ones. The State finds it difficult to re- tain the 11,000 employees who care for inmates.
 Their dormitory facilities are crowded and working conditions are far from attractive. Many have quit their jobs on the ground that they could not work longer without losing their own minds.

Governor Smith Tn nomination for President at the Democratic Ma tional Conventions of 1924 and 1928 and is popular both in New York City and upstate.
 Both parties in nominating their state tickets chose the candidates they considered best able to aid she National slate.
 Wet and Dry Issue
 There are several unknown fac tors in the National political situa- tion in the state. Instead of a clean-cut fight between the Presi- dental candidates of two political parties. the situation is compli- cated by the wet and dry issue. the religious issue and the ques- ton whether the voters known as Al Smith Republicans will support the Governor for the Presi- lency. The Al Smith Republi- cans" are seldom identified indi- gidually, the term being applied o those voters who in the past eight or ten years have split their tickets, voting for Smith for Gov. ernor and for most of the other Republican candidates.
 Senatorial Fight
 New York will elect member of the United States Senate this fall. For this post the Democrats have. renominated Dr. Royal S. Copeland, and the Republicans have selected Alanson E. Tough on, United States Ambassador to he Court of St. James. Senator Copeland is personally known to thousands of voters, as during the six years he has been in the Sen ate he has devoted much time making speeches and meeting vot- CTS in every section of the State. thus building up a powerful per- sonal organization.

SMITH-STRAT0N
CHURCH DEBATE
IS CALLED OFF
Baptist Preacher Refuses to
Meet AL in Church, Sug-
gests Garden

New York, Aug. 13.-F)-The
Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton, pas
tor Of Calvary Baptist church, has
refused to meet Governor Smith in
debate in his church on the grounds
that the pulpit is not the place for
political discussion.
Governor Smith had asked to be
allowed to defend himself there
from the attack DR.. Straton made
on him from the pulpit of Calvary
week ago Sunday in which the gov
crnor was called "the deadliest foe Of
moral progress in the country"
DR.. Straton's refusal to meet the
governor in debate in the pulpit
from which he made his charges was
made in a statement read TO the con-
gregation in Calvary last night by
his son. the Rev. Hillyer Straton, Of
Philadelphia, who conducted the eve
ming service in the absence Of his
father who is at his summer home
in Greenwood Lake, N. Y.
81 stand ready to meet the COVER
nor at any time, except the Lords
day, and in any suitable place" DR..
Straton wrote. "and l sincerely hope
that he may be led to take my ac-
ceptance Of his challenge at its face
value"
DR.. Straton said that his previous
statement that he would meet Gov
ernor Smith ''face to face" in Cal
vary church, if the governor would
also debate him on the same ques-
tion in st. Patrick's cathedral. was in
the nature Of joke, and for the
sake Of a bit of humor to relieve
The rather terse situation"
DR.. Straton pointed out in the
statement that from the first he had
suggested Madison Square Garden
as a more suitable place than the
church for the debate and that he
had never had any intention Of de-
batting with Governor Smith in Cal
vary.

DUTCH QUEEN
MAKES AWARDS
TO ATHLETES
Ninth Oympiad Becomes His
tory as World Stars Re-
ceive HOnOrs

Amsterdam, Aug. 13.-@ The
ninth Olympiad was athletic history
today, and Amsterdam, center Of the
sports world for a fortnight. de-
serted by the picked athletes Of
score or more of nations.
Forty thousand packed the Olymp-
ic stadium yesterday to witness the
official closing of the games, but
not even their cheers when the med
ais to the winners were awarded
could prevent the affair from coming
as somewhat Of an anti-climax after
the breath-taking thrills of actual
competition during the past two
weeks.
To the Dutch, at least, the biggest
sensation was the appearance at the
stadium Of Queen Wilhelmina and
the rest of the royal family.
Queen Awards Medals
It was none other than the queen
who awarded the gold medals, sig
nificant Of first places won during
Olympic competition. The Prince
Consort Henry awarded the silver
medals, and Count Ballet atour the
bronze.
Prize winners Of all nations lined
up in the field and listened while an
nouncement was made as to the
number Of first, second and third
places that had been won by each
nation. To the United States went
the bulk Of the honors-22 firsts,
II seconds and Is thirds. Left in
Amsterdam for the closing cere-
monies were only IL girls and %
men to represent the United States.
The others were participating in
post Olympic meets, in Great Brit
ain, Belgium, France, and Switzer-
land.
Count Baillet-Latour, as president
OF the international Olympic COM
mittee, then expressed gratitude to
the queen and the Dutch people, and
asked 1.-THE youth Of all lands to
meet again four years hence at Los
Angeles, there to celebrate the games
Of the tenth Olympiad."
The Olympic flag was lowered
from the pole in the arena, and the
ninth Olvmpiad was over.
Germany Was First
Back in the Olympic fold for the
first time since the war, Germany
signalized her return by capturing
first honors in the ninth Olympiad
on the basis of team achievements.
The Germans scored ASH points in
the Is divisions of Olympic sports,
while the United States, runner-up,
tailed 80. Holland scored 34h to
take third place, and Italy point
less tor fourth. The points are scored

What makes US all so envious of
all these boys, anyway?
We are envious, and we might as
we'll admit it. A man can go long
way, rising tn position OF wealth,
honor and fame, achieving every
ambition he ever set his heart on;
yet he will feel wistful pang OF
regret when he sees group Of
tanned, healthy youngsters getting
ready for a plunge into the old
swimming hole. He would, gladly,
change places with any Of them.
Why is it? Childhood isn't al
ways a happy time. Children have
their disappointments and heart
aches just as adults do, but what
makes boyhood seem, to every man,
the one period to which he would
gladly go back?

VISIT WITH AL
Agricultural Situation to Be
Thoroughly Discussed With
Smith
By PAUL F. HAUPERT

(ASSOcl0teQ freSS StaIt WFlter)
Albany, N. Y, Aug. 13.-oP-In
a series of conferences that may
have far-reaching political effects,
Governor Smith intends before the
end of the week to discuss the agri-
cultural situation here with q group
Of farm leaders and to talk over his
presidential campaign with three

cils-Senators Walsh Of Montana

Daniels, secretary of the navy under
Woodrow Wilson.
The farm delegation, headed by
George N. Peek of Illinois, who cast
his lot with Smith several days ago.
was in Albany today for its meeting
with the nominee. Daniels is due
Wednesday, George Thursday. and
Walsh on Friday-all coming at the
governors invitation.
Prior to their call on the presiden-
tial nominee the identity of all the
agriculturists who planned to sit in
1t the round-table discussion today
had not been disclosed, as arrange
ments had been left to Peek and he
had not advised the governor def.
initely who would be with him.
Indirectly, however, the governor
had been advised that among those
who would 60 over the farm problem
with him were two of the leaders
in the losing fight at the Republican
national convention for farm plank
along the lines Of the vetoed Nc.
