she saw the beast nearest her suddenly drop the
inanimate thing he had been cawng and raise
his head to look about for new victim Power

EVANSTON, H., August 18-It some
times pays to take the offensive into the
enenly's territory--but not in Evanston.
As president of Evanston's rival sub
urb, Oak Park, Erwin Zurich should
have realized he was on hostile ground.
but the party at willard Baird's last
night started out friendly enough and
Zurich was off his guard.
AS the evening wore on and the con-
versation wore out, he made a grave
tactical error.

has a population of $3.50 to Evan
ston's 61,766"
yeah" retorted Baird, but our per-
centage of growth is bigger"
From this point things grew rapidly
worse until Zurich subsidized under the
force of a swift right to the nose.
AT the hospital it was found the nose
had been broken. And as If this
weren't enough, the police announced
they would arrest him for disorderly
conduct when he gets out.

WOOD HITS CHARGES
AIMED AT HOOVER
Asserts Democratic Cam
paign Chairman "Pastmas-
ter" in Misrepresentation.

Coming to the defense of President
Hoover. representative Wood of In
dia,aA, Chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, issued q
statement last night in which he
charged that Jouett Shouse, chairman
of the, Democratic National Executive
Committee had attempted to Islander
and malign" the Chief Executive. He
declared that Shouse has become a
postmaster" at the art of criticism
and Misrepresentation but more par
ticularly at that of Misrepresentation. ="
THE plain truth is" he asserted,
that Mr.. Shouse and his cohorts have
one purpose only, to assail, to Islander
and to malign the President of the
United States and TO attempt to block
great tasks to which he has set his
hand"
Wood charged that Shouse's state
ments have been crowded with in
accuracieS and bald misstatements,
showing that he either has failed to
inform himself of the facts or chosen
to ignore them in the hope of gaining
some temporary partisan advantage.
Says People Demand Facts.
This propaganda" he continued,
may nave served ,uIlUll the ADVENT Oh
the congressional campaigns, but now
that the voters must choose as between
candidate and parties, they naturally
demand something more than glittering
generalities, something more than
abuse, something more than plain eff
forts at obstruction and destruction.
Having listened for months to at
tacks; having seen Democrats in Con-
greSs use every means at their command
to delay the administration program
and so contribute to economic depres-
sion and business uncertainty, the
American people now demand that Mr.
Shouse and his party come forward
with a program.
Voters Wait in Vain.
Through the months they have
waited in vain for the Democratic
leaders to do so. Nay, they have
waited in vain for even so much as a
single constructive proposal from the
Democrats as to how they would at
tain the millennium which they so
adroitly indicate would be present were
they only in power"

GOV. RICHIE SCORED
FOR HOOVER OUTCRY

Gov. Ritchie's recent complaint against
President Hoover's failure to invite him
to the Drought Conference was char
acterized as evidence of "an absurd and
ironical lack of consistency" by Galen
L. TAFT, chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee of Maryland,
in a statement issued today.
In his pronouncement, which he made
a broadside against Ritchie's admins
tration and efforts to identify Maryland
as free State" TAFT declared that the
political house of cards, based on the
independence of Maryland, that Gov
Ritchie has long sought to maintain,
collapsed in the first wind of adversely"
TAFT added that it lilly becomes Gov
Ritchie to complain because Washington
has not come to Annapolis instead of
Annapolis going to washington"

CHICAGO, March 4.-Youngsters get nothing but frank comments on their potential abilities when Cy- rena Van Gordon tests their incli- nations toward music.
 Miss Van Gordon, one of the Chi cago Civic Opera company's stars does not hesitate to tell fond par ents that their children would be perfect "duds' as singers.
 Besieged by parents who feel cer- tain that John or Nancy is gen. jus because he or she can carry a tune at the age of two, Miss Van Gordon frequently takes time out to apply her own test of determin ing musical ability in children.
 Often, when the test has ended, she returns the hopeful to parental arms with pointed words of dis illusionment.
 Because Junior may sit rapt during symphony concert at the age of three may indicate he is a budding musical genius" says Miss Van Gordon, but it also may mean

EMERALDS ONCE LIQUID IN OLD COLOMBIA MINE

NEW YORK, March 4.-Emer- aids can be bought in New York, London or Paris more cheapely than in Colombia where they are mined, says a report to the Am erican Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
 The only emerald mine operating in Colombia is described in this report by Charles Mentzel and c. Kendrick MacFadden. The report says the mining methods are sim liar to those of the Spaniards hun dreds of years ago.
 Hillsides are washed down with water in great, v-shaped cuts, ex- posing formations of shades, in which the emeralds are found in small pockets. Seemingly ar h quake faults fractured these shales time and again many millions of years ago.
 In some way not yet fully deter mined, through cracks in certain limited areas, the emerald sub stance welled up in liquid form from deep below the surface.
 With it sometimes came plenty of chromium oxide, giving the stones deep green color, that now sells in New York for top price of $3,000 a carat.

"THUNDERBOLT" OPENS
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Front pages of the daily news papers provide endless stories for motion pictures ccording to Charles Furthmann, Hollywood au- thor and adaptor of many screen plays. His latest story, the Josef von Sternberg production, Thur derbolt," starring George Bancroft which will show at the Coliseum tonight, works a series of these front page events into a gripping, dramatic story of the underworld of New York's Harlem.
 One of the biggest motion pie ture successes of 1928," Furthmann says, was first written on the pages of Chicago newspapers. The plot of 'Thunderbolt,' written by Jules Furthmann and myself, had a similar origin. A newspaper story of an adventures who posed as an angel-faced innocent and duped a smart man of the world gave us start.
 Every personality in Thunder bolt, with the exception of incl dental players, has stalked across the front pages of American news papers in the last three years. Great drama and melodrama is constantly in the making and only adaptation is required to transform it into a screen scenario, a play or a novel"
 "Thunderbolt, is an all-talking drama, brings together again the two men responsible for the out standing screen success, Under world" von Sternberg, the director, and George Bancroft, the star. It IS Bancroft's second all-talking pie ture, the first having been the re- cent hit, The Wolf of Wall Street. Tn "Thunderbolt," Bancroft is sup ported by Richard Arlen and Fay Wray.

 Yet Ned Sparks got his famous dead pan" in @ quest for some thing new in comedy. When he left Alaska by the way of the stage, and landed on Broadway years later after transforming America in stock, he realized he needed that something new to register a real hit. He knew that thou sands of comedians were cracking jokes and laughing heartily at their own wit.
 So his something new was to crack j9ke5 ind crack not q smile,
