 Richard w. Reading, city clerk who summoned the commissioners, Is understood to have been informed by Smith supporters that cases of fraud have been checked ir eight precincts and that in every precinct fraud is alleged to have been com mitted.
 Reading said the commission would be glad to check any precinct where fraud was rumored He pointed out, however, that O'Neil had submitted no evidence that would justify widespread check, O'Neil has promised to produce this evidence today.
 Smith supporters have charged that dummy voters participated in the election by using the cards designating new locations of polling places which Reading mailed 10 qualified voters.

HUTCH|NS MADE
 UNIVERSITY HEAD
Former Yale Dean Becomes Chicago School President

Chicago Nov. 19 Pl-Robert May nard Hutchins became today, at the age of 30, the fifth president of the University of Chicago.
 Inauguration of this tall, almost ooylsh young man was made bril- liant by the attendance of represen- tatlves from 300 colleges and univer- sties. not only in the United States but in Canada and Europe as well. them Were presidents of the schools they represented.
 Father At Exercises
 Some came from the largest and proudest schools of higher learning in the world, but none was among them so proud as William J. Hutch- ms, president of Berea college. Ky, for 1t was his son who was honored.
 Yale univ crsity gave to the Uni rorslty of Chicago it's first president @S years ago when William Rainey Harper was inaugurated; and it is from Yale that Mir. Hutchins has come to the quadrangles on the mid way.
 Today, too, Yale sent it's president, James Rowland Angell, to bring greetings to it's former Law school dean.
 David Kinley, president of the un- diversity of Illinois, brought to the ceremonies the good wishes of the state university of the country.
 Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the Interior and president of Le- land Stanford university, was unable to attend because of the death of James w. Good, secretary of war. Upon pr. Wilbur was to be confer red the honorary degree of Doctor Of Law.
 old School Represented
 The oldest university to have re- presentation at the inaugural was the University of St. Andrews with Sir William Craigie as it's delegate
 The University of Basic, Trinity college of Dublin, the University of Frankford and nine Canadian in stitutions were among other repre- sented.
 President Hutchins was born In Brooklyn, N. Y, January IT, 1899 and received his A. B. degree from Yale university in 1921, his Masters in 1923 and his Doctor of Laws de- gree in 1925. He is married and has one daughter.
 In 1927-2S, Dr. Hutchins was act ing dean of the Yale Law school. His selection as president of the University of Chicago came as surprise to the academic world in view of his youth. He came to Chicago at the opening of the pres ent school year, succeeding Dr. Max Mason. who resigned to join the Rockefeller foundation.

Chinese Elm One of
Hardest of Trees

Tie Chinese elm, sometimes
known as the desert elm, is one Of
the most valuable contributions to
the imported fora Of the United
States made by the late Frank
Meyer of the bureau of plant in
dustry, United States Department
of Agriculture, says the American
Forests and Forest Life Magazine,
official organ of the American For
estry association. Mr.. Meyer found
the tree growing in the vicinity of
Picking, China, and was so i'm
pressed with its graceful form and
general hardness that he included
seeds in his shipments of new
plants from the Celestial Kingdom
about the year 1914.
"The Seeds" the writer contin-
ues, "were prOpagated at several
of the plant introduction gardens
of the Department Of Agriculture
and soon proved their adaptability
to a wide range Of conditions in
America. One Of the original trees
growing near Chico, Calf, is now
about forty feet high and its small
leaves and the density and weeping
character of its foliage combine to
make specimen of great grace
and beauty"

Chairman Of Town Board
May Fix Trunk Load Limits
New Law May Help Prevent Dam
age to County Roads When
Trunk Highways Close

The relation between trunk high
ways and county and town roads
was demonstrated in many .coun-
ties in Minnesota this spring. A
great many of the secondary roads
which have been properly graded
and graveled, remained in good
condition, due to the lighter TRAFFIC,
until after the trunk highways had
become impossible or load restric-
tions had been put in force. Then
the trucks and other through traf-
fic which naturally belong on the
trunk routes spread out on the
county roads and where no re-
strictions were enforced these
roads were seriously damaged and
in many cases were made impass-
able for a time. In other places
where the local road authorities
used load restrictions, their roads
were protected and kept open all
through spring.
One difficulty in applying restric--
tions on town and county roads in
the past has been that the whole,
board had to act. Under a law
passed by the last legislature the
chairman of the town or county
board, as the case may be, may put
load restrictions in force. This
makes quick action possible when
it is necessary. It is too late to
make much use of this law this
spring but it my be worth remem-
bering next year. The new law is
chapter 800 in the session laws of
1929.

Two-Thirds Majority
Doesn't Mean That

A "two-thirds majority" is mere
ly popular way Of saying that a
candidate "eived two-thirds of all
the votes ca t in an election. Sup
pose, for instance, 5000 votes are
cast, and one candidate receives
1000 and the other 1900. The lat
ter receives q two thirds majority;
namely, two thirds of all the votes
cast. In this case the actual ma
jority over the other candidate is
only One-third of all the votes, and
literally "two-thirds majority"
should mean that the difference be-
tween the two figures is two-thirds
Of the total number Of votes. For
instance, If one candidate had re-
ceived 500 and the other $500, the
difference-2,0 00-would equal two
thirds of the total. But the term
is generally used to express the
idea of two-thirds Of all the votes
regardless Of the number received
by other candidates.-The Path
finder.

Everybody Pussy-Footing

AS street traffic noises become
worse and worse in the large cities,
the pedestrian becomes still quieter
in his movements, by the use Of
rubber sOles and heels.
Even in Lancashire quietly pad
ding rubber and leather steadily
replace the clatter of clogs and
wooden shoes. The silent shoe is
a modern notion. Noisy boots were
formerly something to be proud
of. The gallants Of Alexandria let
people know when they were COM
ing, the London Macaroni of the
Eighteenth century wore heel-tips
that clinked, and Northampton
boot manufacturer says that some
of his West Indian orders used to
stipulate that the boots must
squeak!

Faults of Old Age

want of beard; and say so now,
when my gray hairs give me some
authority. We call the difficulty of
our humOrS, and the disrelish Of
present things, wisdom: but, in
truth, we do not so much fOrsake
vices as we change them and, in
my opinion, for worse! besides
foolish and feeble pride, an imperti-
nent prating, forward and unsocia-
BILE humOrS, superstition, and
ridiculous desire of riches when we
have lost the use of them, l find
therein more envy, injustice and
malice; age imprints more wrinkles

face; and souls are never, or very
rarely, seen, that, in growing old,
do not smell sour and musty.-Mon-

Hint for Dog Lovers

These aristocratic dogs whose
prices go up in the hundreds and
sometimes thousands Of dollars re-
ceive the very best of care-and
food. The food they eat largely
determines their appearance, and
their appearance wins them prizes
at dog shows. And what do the
kennel owners like to feed their
dogs? In many cases canned dog
foods, the basis of which is usual
ly meat mixed with barley or some
other cereal and some cod liver
oil. The mixture is put into tin
cans, sterilized just as carefully
as If 1t were for human consump-
ton, and then 1t Is ready for the
fastidious dog kings.

SCENES FROM AUNT LUCIA
She FORGOT the "R"

The high school teacher was new
to the East and the pupils had not
yet decided whether to like her or
not. They held informal meetings
to discuss her from every high
school pupil angle. Her clothes,
her looks and the way she applied
the lipstick all came in for search
ing analysis.
They had almost made up their
minds to permit her to stay when
one of the members of the English
class raised her voice In protest.
"She dresses fairly WE'LL" she
said, "and her makeup isn't so
bad. But her pronunciation is SIM
ply awful. She comes from the
Middle West and she never pro-
nounces the r. in words like
'idear.'"
