NO SMUGGLING ON
 ATLANTIC COAST

Washington, Sept. 12-(UP)- The Atlantic coasts rum row." scene of thrilling encounters be- tween liquor smugglers and fed eral agents during prohibition, Is vanishing rapidly.
 Smuggling activities are at their lowest level ip more than 15 years. Harold N. Graves, coordinator of treasury law enforcement activities said today.
 He counted only seven suspected rum vessels between Nova Scotia and Cape May. In prohibition days there were as many as 100 ships within that area at one time.
 Five of the seven vessels, coast guard officials said, are the object of search out of the New London Conn.,, base.
 "Rum running Is so near zero," Graves said,' that you could almost put all the contraband goods in your eye"
 "As light as 1t is on the Allan tic coast, 1t is heavy compared with smuggling on the gulf and Pacific coasts. Since we have plugged the sources in those territories, there is on place where smugglers can get liquor"

Allen is a shining example of the type of men Long chose to be his lieutenants-men of mediocre ability who never would question his decisions and would carry them out with blind obedience. Foes of Long always insisted that the sen ator carried Aliens undated resig- nation in his pocket, to enforce strict adherence to his commands. Licensed Teacher at 15
 but Too Young for Job
 The governor was native of Winn parish, as was Long. Born Aug. 8, 1882, Allen knew little but hard work and hard knocks in his boyhod. He walked three miles through woods to a rural school, later attending grade school in the county seat, Winfield.
 In 1897, at 15, Allen was awarded a teachers certificate, but being too young to instruct other chil- dren he returned to the farm. Seven years later he began teach ing and in a year saved enough to attend normal school at Spring field, Mo. Returning to Louisiana, he resumed teaching and also op- erated a sawmill on part-time basis.
 But young Allen hoped for bet ter things, so he returned to his studies, this time at Trinity uni versity, Waxahachie, Tex, Another fling at teaching, from 1909 to 1911, and then he left the school room definitely behind.
 Romance came to him in 1911, when he was working in Paris.

Avignon, France-CUP)-Fol- lowing an ancient, medieval GUS tom, Provencal girls still pop the question, even in 1885.
 This is ho wit is done. The young woman bakes q delicious Provencal cake called a "fougasse. Then, she places it with jar Of wine outside her house. In fact. certain old houses have niches Tn the wall made especially for this purpose.
 When her prospective husband appears, he eats the cake and drinks the wine. Fially, he leaves a token in the niche, usually a silken sash or scarf. This is his way of saying"Will you marry me?" She answers the following Suday, simply by wearing the scarf or whatever 1t was, when she goes to church. A few weeks later the wedding bells ring.
 But. if the Provencal girl pre- pared the "fougasse" as joke, II she considered it only as q pleas antry, she says "No" to the young man " offering him anhandful oi oats.
 Holding up the bridal party after the wedding still Is commot custom in Provence. A flower decked rope is stretched across the street and kept there until the bridegroom pays toll to Cupid highwaymen.

PUBLIC NURSING
 HAS RAPID RISE
Tercentenary Director Re- views Growth Since
 Start in 1887

Reviewing the history of public health nursing in Connecticut as part of the state department of heaIth's tercentenary program, Elizabeth S. Taylor, described the growth of the service from the em- ployment of the first visiting nurse by the United Workers of Norwich in 1887 to the present day when 1O3 towns have public health nurs- ing associations and when the number of public health nurses employed in Connecticut by pri- vate agencies, departments of health, boards of education, and private industries is 735.
 The second service was estab- lished under Trinity Parish in New Haven in 1895, and the third was the Middletown District Nurse as- sociation In 1900. By 1909, 20 as- sociations employing 33 nurses had been organized. The service con- tinued to grow rapidly and in 1920 Connecticut made study of them which ended in recommendations for future development under a state bureau. In 1923, the bureau of public health nursing was es- tablished as separate bureau of the state department of health.
 In the early days the visiting nurses had no special preparation other than their training as nurses, the director stated, and most of the nurses time was spent in ac- nf t.lr 1t devoted as it is today to education al work in disease prevention, ad vice to expectant mothers, advice on child care and the like. Small fees were paid for the nurses ser vices where possible, but most of the burden of support was borne by religious groups, and philan- thropic agencies and individuals. Today public health nursing has advanced far beyond the welfare stage, and the nurses employed in Connecticut must have special training in public health work, since theirs is no longer merely a service to the sick but to every in dlvidual in the community.
 Bedside nursing still remains an important phase of the work, but to it has been added the family health supervision which includes all age groups. This general pro- gram of public health nursing has been largely supported and or ganized by lay groups who have continued their interest and efforts In raising funds for this communi- ty service. Communities, however, are more and more assuming some responsibility for support by mak- ing town appropriations for com munitY nursing needs.

EUROPE LOOKS TO
 ADOLF HITLER

Nuremberg, Germany, Sept. 12- (UP)-Europe looked vainly to Adolf Hitler today for pronounce ment on the Italian Ethiopian crisis while Germans read the out line of a new policy of Nazi funda- mentalism in art. Guarded as he has been ever since the start of the crisis, Hitler in a proclamation to his Nazi congress yesterday, would say only that Germany, with its new army and its new pride, is ready to defend itself; and that it seeks no wars, but rather to pro- mote peace.
 In an unscheduled speech last night, Hitler laid the foundation for the new art policy.
 We are determined not to allow cubiests, futurists and others of the sort to participate in the new cul- tural life," he said.
 We are determined to assist those artists who express the Ger manic spirit, the universal spirit Capitalistic Jews never had and

MUCH LUMBER
 WAS CONSUMED

Washington, September 12 -
 UP) - Lumber consumption dur ing the second half of 1885 will be heavier than during the first six months of last year when PWA was in full swing, if construction contracts continue at the August rate. the National Lumber Manu- facturers Association reported to- day. The association's statistical department estimated that 4,4O0,- 000,000 feet of lumber would be consumed during the third quar- ter and that total construction con- tracts would be the largest since 193, if August volume continues. Estimates of lumber shipments for 1885 will approximate 16,415,000,- 900 feet compared with 494,000," 900 feet last year, the association said.

 Able Henchman of Long i'm New Orleans Battle
 During the investigation of the New Orleans city administration, the bitterts fight of Longs ca reer, which left Mayor Semmes Walmsley stripped of all power, Noe acted as presiding officer, faithfully carrying out Huey's mandates.
 Financial reverses came to Noe, according to reports, after he became interested in politics, but he is said to have won bacl. most of his fortune in recent years.
 With several strong supporters of the Long administration, he recently organized an oil explora- ton company operating in the state which is said to have paid handsomely.

 Noe, unlike most of Longs henchmen, was a success before he entered politics, being an inde- pendently wealthy oil and carbon black producer of Monroe, La, where he has his residence, with his wife and three children.
 An overseas veteran of the World war, Noe became interested in politics few years after his military service. Meeting Long on his business trips to New Orleans and the state capital, he formed a firm friendship with the dictator f when the latter was beginning his spectacular rise.
 As years passed, the bond be- came more firmly cemented, Noe giving vigorous support to the Kingfish and his policies in the bit ter campaigns which the latter waged against his many foes. Elected to State Senate;
 In High Favor with Huey
 Not an office seeker at the time, Noe finally was induced to make the race for the state senate in 1892, though friends said that he would have preferred the appoint ment as conservation commis- sioner.
 After Nae's election, Long showed marked preference for the handsome young oil magnate, in- viting him into councils held only with his closest advisers and best friends.
 Following deposition of Frank Peterman as president pro tenn. of the senate in the regular session of 1894, Noe was named to the post. When Lieut-Gov. John E.

 Famed for His Parties; Huey Often His Guest
 His houseboat, always docked in the Mississippi river during legislative sessions, became the becca for rounds of entertain- ment and elaborate parties for his friends. Senator Long was frequent visitor to the boat during the whirl of festivities.
 A man of undoubted ability in several lines, sideline observers wonder if Noe will be content to play second fiddle to Allen, as the governor did to Huey.
 They see the possibility that Noe may aim at higher things and be a strong contestant for the throne left vacant when an as- sassin's bullet struck down the Delta states dictator.
