 HEAD IS DEAD
Darwin P. Kingsley Rose From Vermont Farm at One Time

New York, oct 7-UP)-Dar- win P. Kingsley died last night after 75-year career that led him from a Vermont farm tc a crusad- ing editorship in Grand Junction. Colorado, and back east to the presidency of the New York Life Insurance company.
 Kingsley left the presidency of the insurance company two years ago to become chairman of the board, a move that followed by about one year Calvin Coolidge's < election to the board of directors.
 He was born on a farm at AL burg, Vt. He walked to the Uni versity of Vermont with $45 in his pocket, with which to buy his edu- cation. He got job as bellring- CT to pay his tuition.
 After graduation. he worked on a ranch in Wyoming, he taught for year. He campafgned against graft as an editor in Grand Junction. Colorado. He served as state auditor and superintendent in 1886.
 The New York Life Insurance company Onered nlm pOSltioH' He accepted it in 1889 and went to Boston as inspector of agencies. Three years later he was superin- tendent of agencies with offices in New York and six years there after he was vice-president. In 1907 he was appointed president.
 The public utterances and activ- ities of Kingsley were noted for their bluntness, frankness, and lack of fine phrases. Of the equal ity of man, he once said:
 "Men are not equal in anything from birth to death"
 He condemned the bitter critics of the League of Nations; he ad- vocated international help for Ger many; he was active in Red Cross and f M c A drives.
 Kingsley, who was succeeded as president of the New York Life by Thomas A. Buckner, also was df, rector of the Chemical Bank ana Trust company, and of the New York Trust company. He was d trustee of the University of Ver- mont,

DON'T QUOTE ME
BY UNITED PRESS

Washington, October = (UP) = In two days of campaign sbarn- storming on the Des Moines trip Mrs Hoover proved herself to be one of the most active of recent "first ladies'. She was moving about the back platform of the train at every stop, waiving. chat ting. shaking hands and sometimes making little informal remarks.
 She became somewhat of a travelling godmother for the ch.l. dren who packed the railroad sta tions in large numbers at every stop. At Altoona, Pa. and several other places she cautioned grown ups not to trample the tots. t.
 Jarly one day in/ the railroad yards in Chicago when a group oi photographers were working around the rear platform of the train, and only half a dozen per sons were present, she asked the photographers if they couldn't lay their used flashlight bulbs down or the ground gently instead of dropping them and causing them to smash. "The broken glass might cut the feet of the little barefooted children" she said:
 It was too cold there for little barefooted children. Railroad men in the yards later said even in summertime little children didn't do much running up. and down the switch tracks.
 Photographers said they didn have time to put each flashlight bulb down without breaking and that if they did, someone would come along and step on 1t anyway. But with these reservations, some present thought it might be possi- ble to adopt more thoughtful dis posal policy.
 Mrs Hoover was at Virginia Beach, Va, to day, attending the Girl Scout convention.
 Mrs Hoover was completely at home on the western trip. She was born in Waterloo, Iowa. Her parents and other relatives were well known in some of the locasi- ties through which the party passed. Her grandfather went to Wooster college at Wooster, Ohio where the presidential tram stopped long enough for MI | Hoover to hear the college song.
 Every time Iowa crowds started up the famous Iowa Corn Sons

ages of and 16 years.
 Of course children 4 years of age do not attend school, but very many years ago 1t probably was the custom in some families to send their children to school at four. The law now is that actual attendance at school Is ont required by the state before children reach their 9th birthday. Also note that public schools do not generally &C., cept any children even in kinder garten until they have reached the age of years and eight months. Therefore there are always a good ly number over 4 years of ago and less than four years and eight months who are not actually in school. ,
 The custom now prevails in Wa terbury of recording the names and ages of the pupil on 8 card pre- pared for the purpose.> On this card other data are asked for be- sides mere name and address. For there is in every city as large as this q goodly number who have ailments of some kind or for vari- ous reasons are not able to attend school although they are of age.
 The taking of the enumeration therefore serves several purposes. When the cards are brought in by enumerators they are put in file in the superintendent of schools of flee in filing compartments for that purpose and secretaries and assistant secretaries transfer some- time during the year the informa- tion on these cards to what is known as permanent cards. The filing cabinets there for this infor- nation therefore have to have a for 23,000 temporary cards and 23,000 permanent cards. The information is always accessible to anyone making inquiries about school children in school.
 For the purpose of enumeration the superintendent and secretaries divide the city into 32 districts using the school map of the district line. The enumerators are called in and given instructions by Miss Ruth Donahue, Cor if necessary by the superintendent of schools, Dr Michael c. Donovan) who has charge of matters and instructed to go to every home in the district and get the names of the pupils of school age.
 It requires generally about one month for enumerators to complete their work. Ever since Dr Dono- van has been in office the enumer- ators have been chosen either from principalse. teachers in ser- vice or from teachers on the high school waiting list.
 These enumerators are now at work in various districts and of course it is required by all read CTS they be given the information they are asking. When the enum- eration is completed and returns carefully checked in the superin- tendent's office, the city pays each enumerator five cents per name.

 The loot included several dia- mond studded bracelets and ear-s rings, rings, and other pieces of jewelry. 2

HOOVER TO KEEP IN LIMELICHT TO
 AID ELECTION
Speaks to Women Voters To-day Curtis and Cabinet No Longer At- tract People
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Washington. Oct 7.-UP)- President Hoover's speech to wo- men voters to-day is part of the plan to keep him fighting on the firing line until election day. He will be talking here or on the road at frequent intervals. His next campaign trip is expected to be taken into Ohio, Indiana, and possibly Michigan.
 Republican managers have con- vinced him, as was reported in these dispatches a short time ago, that he would have to bear the main burden of the campaigning from now on. Cabinet officers and the vice. president attract lit- tie attention when they speak now. Newspaper prominene goes to the democratic presidential candidate unless President Hoover himself is talking. So from now on, more of the republican publicity will be tied directly to President Hoover.
 MT Hoover has convinced him. self that he can put on a credit able political appearance. Former. ly he thought he was not adapted to political speech making. Now he sees that crowds will turn out and cheer. At Des Moines, for the first time in major address, there was interplay between him and his audience.
 Politicians everywhere report ex- ceptional interest in politics this year. In Iowa they were talking about the mammoth torchlight pro- cession recently put on in Chicago for Governor Roosevelt. A pro- minent republican here was dis cussing the matter.
 "I haven't seen a torchlight pa- rade since 1896," he said. Some thing is drawing people out this year. One reason I think is that they are seeking information. Things are going on that they do not understand. They want to know about them"

New York, Oct 7-(UP)-Two armed bandits locked Sava Keha- va, Creek American banker, his wife and three others in a bed- room, then escaped with $35,00O worth of jewels in a daring rob- bery within the heavily policed Fifth avenue district last night.
 The robbers entered the bankers apartment by the use of a friends name.
 The shabbily dressed men appar- ently had carefully planned the robbery. They approached the doorman of the fashionable apart ment building at Fifth Avenue and 88th street, and told him "Mr Guarini" wanted to see Kehaya. Kehaya has banker friend named

The department of education is now taking what is called state enumeration of the persons in Wa terbury who by law must be count ed in order that the city may ob- tain from the state the money giv- en as a state aid to schools.
 The law requires that the city shall find the names and adresses of every child in the city between the ages of 4 and 16 years; for the state pays $2.25 for each of these. That is to say, the money is paid into the city treasury from the staet, both for pupils in the public schools and for those attend. :. ing parochial schools. In round numbers there are about 23,000 persons in Waterbury between the

-Four Inches of
 Rain Mixes Flood With Blessings

Burlington, Vt, Oct '. (UP)- More than four inches of rain' which brought relief from the pro- tracted drought, also brought food dangers to Vermont to-day. At Jeffersonville, the Brewster river overf1owed, wrecking a saw mill and two small bridges, dam aging a larger span, and inundating a large area of 1owlands.
 Other rivers were not swollen to a dangerous stage but it was evi, dent that another heavy rain fall might prove disastrous. Almost as much rain had fallen as in Novem- Der flood took a heavy toll of life and property.
