hot EPITHETS
ARE TOSSED IN
CHICAGO RACE
IackaSSeS, Machine Guns
and IneIegant Language
Feature Mayor Campaign.
BY SAM KNOTT
United pes stan Corresponeent

CHICAGO. Feb. 12.-Jackasses,
machine guns and tnelegant epithets
were employed with frontier-day
recklessness today in the battle be-
tween Mayor william Hale Thomp-
son and Judge John II. Lyle for the
Republican nomination for mayor.
Thompson paraded his donkey
and jackass through the streets to
symbolic his opponent, Judge Lyle.
Lyle displayed submachinc guns
and sawed of shotguns at his
meetings as symbols Of the mayors
alleged ineffectiveness against
crime.
And between these two rivals few
such epithets as:
"Blubbering jungle Hippopota-
mus" "Nutty Judge Jumbo the
Flood Relief Quack.' Moron" "
'Lurching, Shambling Imbecile, y
Arrogant. Incompetent Inefficient
Judge" "Flabby Jowls Of a Barn
yard Hog" Essence Of Nothing
ness"
The Chicago Daily News, support
ing Arthur F. Albert in the primary,
suggested in a humorous vein that
an alienist be appointed to pass on
the mentality Of Thompson and
Lyle, since each is attacking the
others sanity
The Chicago Tribune is backing
Judge Lyle.
Although the Hearst papers, the
erald-Exanincr and the Evening
American have not definitely in
dorssd Thompson's candidacy, they
give him vide publicity.
In a loop speech Judge Lyle said
1.-THE real issue in this campaign is
whether Al Capone is TO be again
authorized to rule Chicago through
the medium Of a dummy in the
mayors chair.

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. 8
uN.S0 Fifteen years ago a
baby girl was given up by her par

cause Of economic necessity. The
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence

Overcome with astoniShment
and happiness at the reunion, the
girl, known as Dorothy Stimson,
collapsed when greeted by her true
parents.
The girl was born August 5,
1915, and was adopted a few days
later by Thomas Simpson and his
wife, Of Portland, the records re.
vealed.
Both Simpson and his wife died
six years ago in an accident and
the girl was placed in the homes
Of several people before a request
was made of the court to locate

time before the parents were
found.
Meanwhile, Payne had worked
diligently and is now in comfort

GOVERNOR ASKS
+. STATE To LEAD
IN DRY WAR

HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 8
U.SO.-In his inaugural address,
Gov. Wilbur L. Cross yesterday
called upon Connecticut to lead
other States in a move out Of the
"morass" of prohibition. The
new governor, who was dean
emeritus of Yale University Grad.
uate School, urged the call Of a
constitutional convention for the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
In his first message, Cross
faced a politically hostile assem-
bly,, for the legislature, as usual,
is Republican. Cross is Connec.
ticut's first Democratic chief ex.
ecutive in 20 years.
Party Lines Breaking
But in his message, delivered in
less than half an hour, he indi-
Gated party lines were being for
gotten and he declared he had re.
ceived assurance that the aims Of
the legislature were similar to his
own.
Connecticut, he said, was clearly
"dissatiSfied" with prohibition and
its graft, corruption, crimes and
disrespect for law. He was con.
vinced, he declared, that repeal
was the only way out of the
"morass."
Suggests Convention
He added:
"If you agree with me,
trust that you will express dis
approval Of national prohibi.
tiOn in ways you deem most
appropriate. Under favorable
circumstances we might request
the legislatures Of other States
to join with us in an applica-
tiOn to Congress for a cOnsti.
tutional convention for the re.
peal of the Eighteenth Amend.
ment.
"The convention mode of
amendment has never been
employed, though it was pre-
ferred to the usual mode by
Abraham Lincoln. Indeed, had
Lincoln lived, it is likely that
q convention would have been
called to take slavery out of
the Constitution"

Orma Marie, 3-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Leo j. Pitzner Of Cottonwood
township passed away at the Univer-
sity hospital at Minneapolis recently.
from severe hemorrhages following
an operation in her throat, made nee
essary by serious internal burns re-
sulting when she swallowed small
quantity of liquid I've. May z.
The burns extended along the in
side of the esophagus, down to the
stomach, and although treatment was
given Immediately after the accident,
the fluid had already SCARED the SEN
sitive tissues of the alimentary tract
to such an extent that nothing could
be done to counterfeit the injury.
The little girl had been taken to the
University hospital from the Loretta
hospital in New Ulm, and had re
turned home about week before the
injury again caused the esophagus to
close almost completely. She was
again taken to the University hospital
where her death occurred.

MARSHALL HOST TO

STATE GOLDEN JUBILEE

Attending delegates and people of
this community will have the oppor-

and international renown at the
Christian Endeavor State Golden Ju-
bilee convention to be held in Mar
shall June 24-28. The sessions, which
are open to the public, of the con-
vention will be in the Federated
church Of Marshall.
One of the highlights of the coming
convention will be the Bible study
periods led by DR.. Walter F. McMil-
lin of the Knox Presbyterian church
of Minneapolis. Mr.. McMillin is ma
tionally known for his contributions
to religious publications. He has a
pleasant faculty for making his audi
ences live in mind in Bible times as
he pictures events Of Bible, History
and life. The theme of DR.. McMil-
Inns Bible Study periods each day Of
the convention will be "Jesus as a
Teacher"

summer adventure, appetite has to be
stimulated instead Of quieted. Hence
the high seasonings of the South.
But that is because in the South,
appetite is quite likely to lag away
below bodily requirements. Highly
seasoned food is undesirable during
the short hot periods of Minnesota.
AS to clothes: Medical observers in
this bulletin are unanimous in the
hope that new styles in women's
clothes and the return to the demure,
over-dressed type Of the nineties will
not prevent Minnesota girls from
wearing the loose brief frocks of re-
cent summers.
"Tight, voluminous clothes are an
abomination in hot weather" say
these doctors. If everybody, men and
women, could wear thin light gar
ments hanging from the shoulders
instead of hitched up around the belt
line, there would be less grumbling
in July and probably good many
less heat prostrations.

Doctors Give Hints
for Hot Weather
Eat Little and Wear Little When
Mercury Scars, Says Medic
Authorities

What shall my family eat? What
shall we wear now that hot weather
is coming?
Is there anyway Of getting ready
in advance to be cool this year in spite
of mercurial high jumps?
Today's bulletin from the Minneso-
ia State Medical Association is an
answer to such questions which pop
up perennially as June .melts into
July-along with the butter, the ice
and the complaining members of the
family.
The cook mas an important part to
play in keeping the family cool says
the physician. She can cook less
meat, less starchy foods and put in
their places coarse vegetables such as
lettuce, cabbage, Brussels sprouts,
caulifower and spinach. Tomatoes,
melons, oranges, apples and berries
in place of pies and cakes, and such
will also help anybody who says he's
melting to keep down his body temp
eratures.
"In this climate where hot spells
are usually of limited duration and
extend, at most, over no more than
a month or two in summer, it will
help the family to be CHEEKY and COM
Portable if everybody eats very mod
erately, even slightly during the
hottest weather." says the bulletin.
Meats, fats, starchy foods, which in
clude pastries and potatoes, too, are
the most important sources of heat
energy in the diet. And nobody cares
for any excess Of heat energy when
the temperatures are resting at nine
ty in the shade.
"The rule for everybody in Mime
sofa should be; to satisfy his appetite
with as many vegetables and fruits
as possible; to drink a great deal
more water than usual so as to pro-
mote the cooling evaporation from
perspiration; to keep calm and stay
in shady breezy places and to wear
proper clothes. Then nothing that
Minnesota has to offer in the way of
heat ought to disturb him unduly."
1t is interesting to note that in the
tropics, where heat is not just mid

In Paris we met third girl from home
and now all three of us are living

to learn French. The woman with
whom we live doesn't speak or under

to talk French at all our meals and
I've learned quite a bit already, tho
we've only lived here since Sunday.
Paris is wonderful but so different
from our American cities-the streets
are crooked and I've been lost several

to find ones way in but there are
always policemen whom one can ask.
We live on the left bank of the Seine
