Capt. C.. c. Berkeley, Of Newport

The real issues of the campaign
have been, according to leaders,
"Raskobism, AL Smithisrn and

Bishop James Cannon, jr., who
headed the anti-Smith forces last
year, created surprise by issuing

ences in South America.
Both the Democrats and Repub-
iicans have refused help from the
National Committees, stating that
this fight was to be along State
issues, and not Of a national char

All Of the candidates have vigor-
ously campaigned the State. They
have debated the election laws,
the short ballot, white supremacy,
and the repeal of the poll tax.

The division Of opinion in the

Norfolk, Newport News, Ports

be very close, with an inclination
toward DIR. Brown because Of the

two years has embarrassed the

GIRL RESERVES TO FIX
TOYS FOR CHILDREN
Outgrown Trinkets Will Be Re
paired for Unfortunate at
Christmas Time.

Nimble fingers of the Girl Reserves
of Washington will be busily engaged
every Saturday until Christmas in re-
pairing quantities of "out-grown toys"
to be distributed among the children
in the city hospitals and orphanages
and many homes.
The Toy Shop, where this work is
being done, opened yesterday morning
at the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION, under the direction of Mrs.
Harry Harmon Blees. Many books and
toys already have been received and
are ready to undergo a general over
hauling by the Girl Reserves in prepa-
ration for Christmas.
So much interest was aroused in the
Toy Shop last year it was decided to
carry on an extensive campaign for
gifts this season. Toys and books for
the shop should be sent to the Young
Women's Christian Association, in care
of the Girl Reserves, as soon as posi-
BILE, in order that repair work need not
be too heavy in December.
The various Girl Reserves are di-
vided into groups, some doing the work
of sorting. some painting and others
sewing and packing. These groups are
known as the hobby" groups because
each girl selects the work that she her
self likes best.

 Murray plays the role of the scion of an aristocratic old Kentucky family which is rapidly becoming impoverished but sticks like glue to the traditions of family and tise South. The World War throws the youngster into the melting pot and he comes homo a careless, modern youth with no respect for ancestry, little regard for womanhood, and no belief in family tradition.
