SHES SICK OF THOSE SONGS

SHE'S SICK OF THOSE SONGS
ABOUT LOVES I~NADEQUACY"
To the Editor:
Like everything else, music is hav-
ing its day! Some is wearisome, some
is soothing, and grooming is abomin-
able! Believe it or not, l am a girl of
t%wenty-one, who is (and admits it)
sore and sick of the i~nsincerity of those
pitiful songs Of 'love's inadequacy!"
If love was worth anything at all,
surely we wouldn't have to spend our
evenings listening to the curse the love
seems to put into every song. Once
in a blue moo do we hear a ballad
that love was really happy? Ach.-
that it should come to this?
A CONSTANT HUMMER OF
LovE-SIcK SONGS.

Why fear tomorrow, timid heart?
Why tread the futures way?
We only need to do our part
To-day, dear child, to-day.
The past is written! Close the book
On pages sad and gay;
Within the future do not look,
But live to-day-to-day.
IT'S this one hour that God has given;
His Now we must obey;
And it will make our earth His heaven
To live to-day-to-day.

 Gan you raise $25,000 to- night?" the kidnaper asked.
 Not tonight. Give me time to get to the office tomorrow"
 You'll hear from. me again. I don't want to talk too long. Don't try to trace this call or it won't be we'll for you." Then the kid naper hung up and the radio cars made their futile trip to the candy store.
 Mulrooney after hearing the child's story said he was convinced the kidnapers were bungling anna teurs. He expected to arrest them shortly.
 The first police alarm of the missing boy was sent out confiden- tially shortly after noon. It was not until the first telephone call from the kidnapers to the home, about 4 o'clock, that police became convinced the boy had been kid- naped.
 Then the manhunt began with Commissioner Mulrooney person. ally in charge. Detectives and po- lice in plain clothes were posted in every store when there was a public telephone booth for miles around the source of the kidnapers first call.
 Mulrooney set up headquarters in the Russell home and from there directed hundreds of police in the search,

Then the child said he was taken to an apartment where a woman treated him kindly, giving him sandwiches and milk. He remem- bered the men making several tell ephone calls, but did not know what they were about. Finally he was taken for another automobile ride. When the car was stopped the woman placed him on a Fifth avenue trolley car at Fifth avenue and 72nd street. She paid his fare and told the conduc- tor to let him off at 81st street. It was at that point that he was recognized by the three women. Shortly after John was missed yesterday a man telephoned the Russell home and demanded $25,- 900 for the child's return. Mrs Russell received the call, but was so overwrought at the first words of the kidnapers that she could recall very little of the conversa- ton. She said the man mentioned something about having the money in s5 and $10 bills.
 The second phone call was made at 8:15 p. m. The boys father an- swered it and the caller asked for MT Russell.
 "This is MT Russell" the father replied.
 Ut doesn't sound like him." muttered the man, and he hung up.
 Police speedily traced the call to a pay station in a candy store near by. The police radio dispatched dozen cars there immediately. Scores of detectives poured into the surrounding area. Other police forces were marshalled.
 The detectives descended on the candy store but no one was in any of the telephone booths.

Apparently in search of a wild cat "brewery" the source of supply of beer which has been reported as being manufactured in Water bury and shipped to all parts of the state, federal agents paid a visit here yesterday afternoon and searched buildings in the rear of 71-79 Bishop street. They uncov- cred the accessories of fair sized brewery, five big vats and about 72 half barrels. No finished product was in evidence and there was mo- thing to indicate that the plant had been in recent operation. No one in the vicinity knew the own CTS or tenants.
 The federal agents not to count the day as one lost decided to dis mantle the place. They removed the vats, barrels and other para phernalia to the governments s

 It is believed that the officers are endeavoring to learn the loca- tion of the brewery which is re- ported in operation here. They are apparently following up clues dis covered last Saturday afternoon when they raided garage in the rear of 141-153 East Main street and made two arrests, Michael Wheeler, 23, and Joseph Harris, 21 both of 1447 Baldwin street. The two men are being held for a hearing before United States Com missioner Harry Krasow on Friday of this week. The officers at the time seized about 10 barrels of beer, two tons of brown sugar and several gas cylinders.

persons at the close Of camp meet

According to Senator Brookhart, who
recently was defeated for renomina-
ton, the large income taxpayers are
fighting prohibition and favoring legal
lied beer so as to saddle the payment
of these taxes on the beer drinker.
The speaker charged that many news
papers are being bought of by heavy
taxpayers to throw mud at prohibition
and its defenders" The Senator de-
ClarCd that when the enfoccemnt agen-
cleS are manned by men who sincerely
believe in the dry law there will be less
violation, more arrests and more respect
for the law.

The prohibition plank which gained
favor with a number of Democratic
leaders was similar to that adopted by

ly. except that it provides for submis-
sion of the question of repeal of the
amendment to State Legislatures, in
stead OF to non-partisan State con-
yentions.
Delegates from each congressional
district will meet tonight to select men,
bers of the Resolutions Committee, and

DEMOCRATS FACING
SHORTAGE OF SEATS
Shouse Tackles Problem of Finding
Room for 1000 More Than
at G. o. P. Sessions.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 20-From the way
Democrats are scrambling for tickets to
the natioral convention. a record
breaking attendance to the big show
next week is indicated.
Already Jouett Shouse, executive di-
rector of the Democratic National Com
nittee. has been notified more than
100 delegates and 1900 alternates are
to attend. Although the maximum
number Of votes is 1854, there is no
limit on delegates and alternates.
About 1900 Republican delegates and
alternateS were seated on the Chicago
Stadium floor at their conclave last
week and they had little room to spare.
Shouse's problem is to seat 1000 more.
The present seating capacity of the
huge building is about 2O,5OO. The Re-
publicans filled it during their prohibi-
ton and vice presidential fights.
1T appears as if the people believe
the stadium will hold everybody, be-
cause they are coming in full force from
ali over the country" Shouse said. IT
could use about 10000 more seats"
