STATE

The Texans mighty romance of the great Southwest, played to capacity audiences attending the healthfully air conditioned Warner Bros. State theater yesterday, the opening day of its scheduled four day engagement.
 This film is one of the ninety four Movie Quiz contest pictures and is an important part of the $25O,000 National Movie Quiz Con- test which begins officially Sept. 1st and ends Oct. 3lst. Incidentally the second hit of this program, I'm From The City" is also included in this listing.
 "The Texans" is one of the most stirring films of the decade and is one that is considered as tops in entertainment for all the family. It was produced by the makers of "The Covered Wagon" and Wells Fargo" but surpasses both previous hits in its sweeping frontier theme, lavish production and it's all favor lte cast.
 Randolph Scott, Joan Bennett and May Robson play the chief roles while Walter Brennan, Robert Barrat, Robert Cummings and liar vey Stephens add their support to the stars.
 Against the thrilling background of the mad days when a victorious North tried to rule a conquered South after the War Between the States was over, "The Texans" tells the story of a proud frontier people who refused to be beaten down and battled furiously for their rights as Americans until their conquerors recognized them as equals and al lowed them to live their own lives.
 And completing the program is a rousing big laugh-hit, I'm From The City" starring Joe Penner ra- dio's favorite funman. Joe is at his best as shyly timid circus per- former. Others in the cast include Richard Lane, Lorraine Krueger, Paul Guilfoyle and Kay Sutton.

A POUND OF PROPAGANDA

A POUND OF PROPAGANDA
 Daily in the mail comes pound of propaganda, most of it resem- bling as nearly as possible bona fide copy which a newspaper corre- spondent might turn in, some of it especially prepared to get by med ical or health editor if any, and some being so raw that one wonders whether any of it ever gets into print. The last type is exemplified in a fake news bulletin describing New Invention" that not only re- veals the cause of obscure disease but uncannily eradicates the dis ease from the system, no matter whether it be tuberculosis, insanity, cancer, catarrh or just nervous weakness.
 If you use the mails to sell some simple soul stock in non-e existent mine you are likely to go to jail, but the penalty for such fraud as that perpetrated by this New h. vention" will probably amount to no more than the profit you make from single sucker, if the government does happen to catch you in the act. The nostrum and quackery business is so firmly established in this coun- try and it has built fortunes for so many of our new aristocratic fam lilies that Uncle Sam is extremely diffident about discouraging it even now.
 Believe it or not-surely somebody ha1iavnc T never sell their product in this way the New Invention" can prevent coming diseases and the fake bulletin explains how:
 Until disease-cauSes are washed into the sewer it is almost useless to speak learnedly about diets, sweat baths, adjustments, massage, mind cure, exercises, bodybuilding, etc., for the condition of the bowels af- feet (sit) the whole man, even his religion, pocketbook, temper, love, brain, disposition, and his very soul. So long as hidden disease causes are at work, science is helpless, bowels remain cotive, mind gloomy, temper ugly, mood notionate (sic), sleep restless, joints rheumtaic, stomach ulcerous, complexion bad, influence paralyzed, liver enlarged, heart fit- ful. ."
 In other words you don't feel SO well.
 If that paragraph doesn't cover your complaint, do not lose hope. There are several other paragraphs in the bulletin, and somewhere in one or another place you will find the miracle machine takes care of secondary trifles such as high blood pressure, gas pockets, intestinal parasites, dropsy, catarrh, infection, heart disease, mucus, inspections, lack of nerve force, liver complaint, headache.
 In fact, if your capacity to believe still holds out, this new invention" is the only boWel-fusher and water drill that brings results to doctors, nurses and patients Qet us say nothing here about morticians)
 Well, people can be educated-but that is a slow process. It is slow because they already know so many thing which ai.l't so.

 AnsWer-I know of no injury likely to occur from eating large quantities of wheat germ. Most people would enjoy better health if they ate a few ounces of it daily.

Never cheaply con- spicuous and rarely shoddy-if made of good material and cut-it has es- tablished place for itself that any amount of novelty suits or dresses can never hope to replace.
 If it's a black knit suit it may have lapels of black velvet and a narrow black velvet stripe down each of it's two skirt side seams. If it wants to Haunt definitely Par isian touch it will have band of inch-Wide flat black silk braid stitched around the waist of the jacket and two like bands of braid circling the jacket above and below the Waistline.
 Or the lapels may have a border of black velvet, with a band of vel vet attached to the bottom of the skirt hem. For relief from the all- black note there are very new black tailleurs which are edged all round with light beige herringbone tweedy wool material (often the selvage on black bolts). Even the jacket belt is piped in the herring bone and a herringbone chevron may add distinction to sleeve or breast pocket.
 For the more pretentious black suit Marjorie Dunton suggests elab- crate silk cord motifs wound over the front of the jacket, sometimes stitched over patches of short black Persian lamb. A much simpler way of dressing up the suit is to put it over a barred blouse of metallic cloth or over sophisticated blouse Of black and white striped satin.
 The ways of a black tailleur are so numerous that it's taken Paris more than week to show a few of them!

ELECTRIC COOK
 FIR FOR KITCHENETTE

A small, compact, automatic elec- tric cooker that will bake and stew, roast and fry, is especially suitable for kitchenette cooking. Not much larger than gorl-sized roasting pan, it is capable of cooking meal for six people. Heat temperatures are regulated by thermostat. A spec ial broiler attachment grills chops and steaks, also toast. Economical, too, since an entire meal may be cooked at one time. A special me- tai table, just the right height, with two adjustable shelves and drawer, can be purchased separately.

Deweys Campaign Indicates On Age
And Experience Beyond His Years

ination. Mr.. Smith, writing in his
autobiography about his nomination
for Governor in 1918, said:
Had I remained for the full term
(of president Of the Board of Alder
mem I might have accomplished
much. but was scarcely we'll &C
quainted with the routine business
Of the city when was plunged into
another campaign-this time for the
governorship of the State.
Charles F. Murphy, leader OF the
city Democracy, was anxious that
the upstate leaders should select a
man whom they believed would be
best equipped to win in the upstate
sections. A committee was formed
which met in Syracuse at the home
OF William F. Kelly, the leader OF
Onondaga County. 1t was apparent
after two or three sessions of the
committee that they could not agree
on any candidate from the upper
part of the State, and after further
conference in New York 1t was
agreed that a Tammany Hall man
would be acceptable, provided up
state would declare in his favor first.
Name Survived "Plucking."
Some is or 20 names appeared
upon the list Of possible candidates
and by a process Of elimination my
name was the last one left on it."
Mr.. Smith related then the story
OF his nomination, won in primary
in which he was opposed by William
Church Osborn, backed by group
of independent Democrats. Smith
was overwhelmingly nominated. Mr..
Smith was As years old at the time
of his first election as Governor Of
New York
If Mr.. Dewey should be elected
Governor Of New York today. he will
be in line for the Republican pres
idential nomination two years hence,
when he will be 38 years of age.
Dewey does not give the impress
sion of being a young man unin-
formed about the affairs of New
York. On the platform he has the
appearance of a man of 40 or even
As years of age. He has had plenty
OF experience in speaking. AS for
the charge that he is abandoning
the job for which he was elected
that of district attorney-it should
be remembered he has been a prose-
cutting attorney for a number of
years and has done a great job at
cleaning up "rackets" and placing
criminals behind the bars.
Theodore Roosevelt was the
youngest President of the United
States. He entered the White
House when he was 42-he had been
elected Vice President when he was
Al and succeeded to the presidency
after the assassination of William
Mckinley.
Not since Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes ran for Governor of
New York in 1906 has a Republican
candidate stirred SO much enthu-
siasm as has Dewey-particularly is
this true upstate. Mr.. Dewey may
be defeated-indeed the odds appear
to be against him. Whether he wins
or not, he is likely to continue a
prominent political figure. He does
not retire from his Office as district
attorney of New York County.
Dewey was pitchforked into this
gubernatorial race. There was no

ure to mention Copeland indicated

land defeated, the Presidents sec
retary issued supplementary state
ment saying that the President was
in reality for Copeland.
One other step the President took
in the 1884 election campaign: He
saw to it that a presidential indorse-
ment was not pinned on Upton Sim
clair and his E. P. l. C. plan. Sim
clair was the Democratic nominee
for Governor of California. His
E. P. I. C. plan was just about as
fantastic as the $50 every Thurs
day ham and eggs" pension plan
of today. The President, however,
has given his Endorsement to Sheri-
dan Downey, Democratic nominee
for the Senate, who defended the
ham and eggs" plan in his race
against Senator McAdoo.
Midway in the Presidents second
term, the voters today are electing
members Of Congress and Governors
all over the land. The President. in
this campaign, however, has gone
into the contests in a big way
starting with his attempted purge"
Of Democratic members of the Sem
ate and House whom he did not
and does not-like. Last Friday he
made an appeal to the voters all
over the country to elect New Deal
candidates, for while he spoke in
his Hyde Park home in New York
his address was broadcast to every
State in the Union. A large part
Of it was devoted to a general plea
for the election of his kind of lib
erals.
Cites Dewey's Age.
The last part Of the President S
address was directed particularly to
the New York situation, with an
attack on Thomas E. Dewey, the
Republican gubernatorial nominee
because he, Dewey, is only 36 years
old and because, he, Dewey, has not
completed the term of office as dis
trict attorney of New York County
to which he was elected a year ago.
President Roosevelt. to bolster his
argument that Dewey is too young
to be Governor of New York, recalled
that in 1918, when he himself was
36 years old, he had been invited"
to run for the governorship of that
State. He turned down the offer, he
said. because at that time he was
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
due to sail on a destroyer for over
seas service. The President added
that he was glad he declined. be-
cause as he looked back he did not
believe that he had had experience
and knowledge enough of public af-
fairs to be Governor of New York.
Two years later, when the Presi-
dent was 38, he was nominated by
the Democratic party for the office
Of Vice President.
AL Smith Won in 1918.
In 1918 the Democrats finally
nominated Alfred E. Smith for Gov
ernor Of New York, and he was
elected, though only by the narrow
margin Of $4,000 votes. 1t was AL
Smiths first tour of duty as Cover
nor. He had been elected one year
before president of the Board of AL
dermen of New York City-an i'm
portant Office.
In those days gubernatorial nomi-
nations in New York were made in
direct primary elections. Had Frank
lin D. Roosevelt accepted the invita-
ton to run he might have been
pitted against AL Smith for the NOM
