ERROR IN INDIANA
Polls Weaken-CIaim State
Ticket Is Unharmed by
Ballot Separation.
BY WILLIAM L. TOMS,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. September
l9.-The claim OF Indiana Democrats
that their own separation Of the
State and national ballots will cause
no harm to the State ticket is being
weakened appreciably by careful polls
taken at the Indiana State Fair.
A newspaper poll taken each day
Of the week at the farm products
exposition, incidentally, gave Gov.
Alfred M. Landon Sc per cent Of the
total vote by major parties and left
President Franklin D. Roosevelt with
A per cent. But even more startling
was the fact that the Republican
candidate for Governor Of Indiana
Jagged approximately 13 per cent be-
hind his party's candidate for Presi-
dent, whereas the Democratic guber-
Material nominees lag was Is per
cent.
Feared BY Democrats.
This Is just exactly what the DEM
ocratic State organization has been
fearing for some months. When Gov.
Paul v. McNutt and his fellow
Democrats moved into the Hoosier
capitol building in January, 1888,
they were laboring under the distinct
impression that their popularity with
the general public far outshone that
Of the Roosevelt national administra-
ton. So, peering four years into the
future, the McNutt State administra-
ton at once had the State Legisla-
ture to separate the State ballot from
the national ballot. It was an open
secret that the McNutt Democrats did
not wish to be held back in 1888
by an unpopular national administra-
ton.
But with development Of the New
Deal and its benevolences for the un-
employed and the unfortunates, the
McNutt organization began to fear
its own creation. Several weeks ago
poll was taken in the various
counties on orders of the State COM
mittee and the word was passed out
that the administrations nominee for
Governor, M. Clifford Townsend. was
running right along with the Presi-
dent.
But the same polls, taken by DEM
ocratic precinct committeeman. were
reported as showing that the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor, Ray
mond 8. Springer, was leading Gov.
Iandon by fair edge. This latter
fact simply did not dovetail with
the impression the Democrats desired
most to leave, namely that the Nc
Mutt nominee for Governor would not
prove q drag on the ticket. 4.
Trip Aids Landon.
Indiana voters in 1882, it is re-
called, gave Townsend fewer votes as
the candidate for lieutenant governor
than they gave either McNutt, Roose-
welt or Senator Frederick VanNuys.
Roosevelt and McNutt, incidentally,
ran together in the same hundred
and VanNuys, an anti-McNutt poll
tician, led his ticket by around $4,000
votes.
Gov. Landon, from all appearances,
bettered his standing with the In
diana voters on the occasion Of his
recent trip across the State en- route
East to Maine.
The Republican State organization
is showing signs Of an awakening at
the top, prompted, no doubt, by the
interest shown Landon by the ordi-
nary voters.

Human Factor Biggest Question
Mark in Accidents Over Nation

The human factor is the biggest
question mark in traffic safety. How
long does it take to stop your car?
This is determined not so much by
the speed Of action of the brakes but
by the time it takes to move your
foot from the accelerator to the
brake. To do this requires very
complex procedure within the hui
man body: Messages from eye to ear
to brain, multiple messages from
brain to muscles, etc. This time
necessary to begin braking car
varies widely with the individual.
At the New York Museum of
Science and Industry DR.. Harry r.
DeSilva Of Harvard university's bu-
reau of street traffic research has
been operating an automobile driv-
ing clinic. Out of his experience he
makes suggestions which if needed
by automobile drivers these summer
days of crowded roads should keep
death from riding the highways so
frequently.
Here are DR.. DeSilva's sugges-
tons:
/. Remember that even though you
have average reaction time in brak-
ing your car it will travel A feet
before you can stop it if you are
going 20 miles an hour, 1872 feet at
40 miles, and 264 feet if at so miles.
2. Try the experiment of having
some one in the car check to see
how much of the time you stay on
your own side of the road. It will
probably be less than you think.
3. Collisions at highway crossings
are usually caused by someone's ig-
norance of his own inability to esti-
mate the relative speed of moving
vehicles. That some one may be you.
4. Many people are totally un-
aware of the extent of their blind
ness" in the face of headlight glare.
You may be one Of these, so exercise
extra caution in night driving.

Perhaps the largest crowd ever
assembled for worship in Jefferson
thronged the courthouse and gallery
on Sunday night. Many were turned
away. People from many sections of
this and other counties and states
have been coming. A loud speaker
has been installed and as the court
room will not accommodate the
crowd the service may be heard
from the lawn and the street.
On Sunday he will preach at 11:00
and at 800 p. m. for everyone. At
800 p. m. there will be a special
service for women and girls.
In the extension services he will
preach today at Foster Memorial at
$3.50 p. M; tomorrow he breaches at
Obids and on Saturday at $3.50 p. M.
he has a service in the Greenwood
Methodist Church.
There is probability that the
meeting will continue into next
week.

Asks Cooperation
of AnHOusewiyes

The Austin Ice Company, of the
Jeffersons, is asking that housewives
cooperate with them during this hot
weather in having their ice boxes
ready when the ice man arrives. In
many cases Mr.. Austin says, the ice
man has to wait from ten to twenty
minutes for housekeeper to clean
out her ice box so the ice can be
put in. With dozens of homes being
served and the ice melting rapidly
from the heat, it would be a help to
both the ice man and the customer
if the place for the ice were ready
when the truck gong sounds.-Adv.

BARRED BOOKS
UPHELD AGAIN
Bridgeport Educators Fa-
yOr Volumes After
Heated Debate

Local department Of education
of1lcials and teachers have been
following the Objectionable book
(so-called) problem IN Bridgeport
with considerable interest. A report
from that city this morning states
the three books barred from the re-
quired list there about ten days age
Lies Miserables" by Victor Hugo
and 1.-THE Three Musketeers" and
twenty Years After" by Alexandra
Dumas, will not be dropped.
After four and one-hAlf hours Of
debate yesterday evening the board
members in Bridgeport decided that
the books were not Objectionable
and could be used In the schools
They were originally barred when
DR.. Andrew McQueeny and William
Redden, two Of the Bridgeport COM
nissioners, said they were objection
able to the Catholic church.
It is interesting to note that Or
Thomas Condon;s statement to The
Democrat last week sums UP the
entire matter, about which, most
local teachers and commissioners
feel, there has been to much noise
1.-THE books are not as black 81
they are painted" said the local
superintendent last week, and his
brief remark seems to have aptlJ
summed up the entire situation II

SCOUTS AWAIT
$500 DRIVE
Girls Need Sum to Finance
Activities of Local
Council

A campaign for funds for the
coming year will be held under the
auspices Of the Girl Scout Council
Of Waterbury from october 1926,
1t was announced today BY Mrs.
George Cowperthwaite, girl scout
commissioner. The campaign aim
this year is for funds to finance
operating the council, leadership
training, troop service and general
activities. The drive viii be for
$500.
This will be the first time in
several years that the Girl Scout
Council has had its own campaign,
as recently the council has COM
bined with the Boy Scout Council
in a joint campaign for both Coun-
ellis.
The decision to have each organi-
zation hold its own appeal for funds
was arrived at as the result OF
Joint meetings between the two
agencies. A study Of the situation
revealed that the number OF sup
porters was decreasing, and that
q joint campaign was not proving
successful in raising sufficient funds
for the two organizations. Further
more, each council serves o con-
siderable area around waterbury,
but the two areas are not the same,
and this fact has caused confusion.
It Is understood that the appeal
for funds to carry on the work OF
the Boy Scout Council will prob.
ably be made the latter part OF
November,

SCHOOL SQUABBLE
SETTLED LOCALLY
Hopeville Confusion Over
Transferal of Pupils Is
Amicably Cleared Up

The confusion which took place
ct Hopeville school the first day OF
the year, when o great part OF the
pupils who were transferred from
the Hopeville annex to Mulcahy re-
fused to do so and reported at the
new Hopeville school, has been
cleared UP.
No mention OF the incident was
made at the board Of education
meeting yesterday, but from all re-
ports II appears as II there was
great influx Of pupils at Hopeville
the first day Of school, and quite Q
lack Of youngsters at Mulcahy.
Last spring the board Of educa-
ton decided to close the annex and
transfer the pupils to Mulcahy and
to the new school, sending those
who lived nearer to one Of the two
schools to that particular school.
Something went aniss last Wednes-
day, however, and all those who were
supposed to report to Mulcahy
turnd up OF Hopeville, causing quite
o bit Of crowding. The matter has
since been settled and the children
who were slated for Mulcahy are
registered there now.
