Continues to Work
On Acceptance Speech
BY ]. A. OLEARY,
Star Stan Correspondent.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Aug. 10.-Former President Hoover
and ALT M. Landon are expected
to pledge support and active aid
to Wendell L. Willkie in his battle
against a Roosevelt third term when
they visit the Republican nominee
during the next few days.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Willkie spent
today going over a virtually COM
pleted draft of the acceptance
speech, in which he will reveal for
the first time his Interpretation of
the Republican platform.
That speech, to be delivered Sat-
urday to a huge crowd in his home
town, Elwood, Ind, will be the first
major turning point in the race
because in it he undoubtedly will
speak out for the first time since
his nomination on most of the de-
cisive issues created during nearly
eight New Deal years.
To date, he has assured the farm
ers he will not disturb the admin

become champion of the Hatch
clean politics act and has hammered
away at the backing given the
Roosevelt third term by big city
Democratic machines. He also has
advocated decentralization of in
dustry, especially in building for
national defense.
Stand on Issues Awaited.
Prior to his nomination at Phila-
delphia Mr.. Willkie likewise had
declared himself unequivocally for
all aid short of war to the democ-
racies against relationships.
But at Elwood next Saturday the
country will be waiting to hear him
deal more specifically, not only with
that outstanding question of for
eign policy, but also with such
major domestic issues as:
Where he stands on compulsory
military training; on work relief and
the unemployment problem; on So

No Doubt of Outcome.
Germany and Italy were so su-
perior to Britain, he asserted, that
there can't be the slightest doubt"
about the outcome of the battl.
England daily had been experience
ing tiny foretastes" of what is in
store for her, he added, "and care
has been taken that all doubts will
be removed in England whether the
Fuehrer's offer Ito halt the war;
Sprang from weakness"
Hess pictured constantly increas-
ing numbers of German U-boats and
airplanes against decreasing British
shipping tonnage and a sinking

Natures Children
Diamond.Back Terrapin
(Malacoclemmys palustris)

The upper shell is olive or gray
ish and each plate circles a hollow
black square. The lower shell is a
deep yellow, with many black dots
and dusky bands running crosswise.
The younger generation has almost
white upper shells, with black con-
centric markings.
1t is not difficult to recognize the
adults, because there are no stripes
on the head. The exposed fleshy
parts are a dull gray, heavily
marked with round black dots. This
terrapin belongs to the smallest of
the genus and rarely reaches more
than 10 inches in length, eight
inches being the average size. AS
these terrapins are highly priced in
the markets, they are becoming
more scarce, and the prices are
higher each year.
Although we find members of this
species ranging we'll into the North,
1t is more abundant and reaches q
larger size in the warmer climates.
Owing to its very broad, extensively
webbed hind feet, this turtle or ter
rapin has a habit of floating along
in the water with the tip of its snout
above the surface. The shell is kept
in a perpendicular position by the
measured treading motion of the
hind feet, as the diamond-back
moves majestically along in the
water, its bright eyes cleaning as if
it knew how well it was situated
and capable of taking care of all
details pertaining to its success in
life.
