Lama Never Dies

Tibetans believe that the Dalai
Lama never dies, but that his soul
is merely transferred into the body
of a newborn child Immediately
upon his death. The infant-elect
must have been born at the precise
moment of the Dalai Lama's death
and miracles and signs must have
attested to his holy birth. In cases
of doubt other possible methods
of finding a successor are provided.

Draft Board Notified
Speed Essential in
Conducting Program

Seven volunteers were list
ed Friday at Selective Serv-
ice headquarters in Ell Gen.
tro, thereby making it COM
paratively certain that no
men from this district will be draft
ed to make up the first 10000 who
will receive years military train
ing.
The seven men who volunteered
for training and who will receive
priority over draftees were: Elmo
M. Jensen, Theodore Youngblood,
Carmen Hernandez, Theodore Tur-
ner, Lucius Gentry and Napoleon
Milton.
A telegram Friday to the south
end Selective Service board from
State Director r. E. Mittelstaedt
indicated thae all speed would be
used in preparing for the conscrip-
ton program. The wire read:
First quota of California select
eeS for army ordered to report at
induction stations Nov. 18-Antici-
pate most OF quota may be obtained
from volunteers-You will mail
questionnaires to all volunteers i'm
mediately even though order num-
bers have not been assigned-Im-
perative that immediate action be
taken"
The southend districts quota for
the first 10000 men will probably
be no more than a half dozen and
the seven men Who have already
volunteered will easily fill it. 1t was
probable, too, that additional VOL
unteers might fill even the second
quota or at least large part of it.

Mr. Roosevelt returns TO New
York City tonight to make an
other bid for New York states At
electoral votes in the great urban
area where he must pile up a whop-
ping election day lead if he is to
get them.
Willkie continues his campaign in
New Jersey after whirlWind inva-
sion OF Pennsylvania and Della
ware. If either candidate can line
up New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, the other one probably
will lose. New York is a Willkie
must if he is to win.
This election will be close, the
polls report. Close in New York
close in Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois. The margin of elec-
toral vote victory probably lies
among those states but the no.
quarter contest extends far beyond
to Massachusetts,, where Mr.. Roose-
velt suddenly decided to deliver a
major address this week, and to
the upper Mississippi valley states
where ace canpaigners are carry
ing the gospel for both sides.
Democratic campaign headquar-
ters reversed former jubilation over
the Gallup poll today when Chair
man Edward j. Flynn of the ma
tional committee replied to Gallup
poll findings in favor Of Willkie by
declaring the poll is conducted by
"pro-Willkie people.
Commenting on the newest Gal
lup poll report which adds Mis-
souri,, New York and Connecticut
to the Willkie column, Flynn said
he believed that the poll was con-
trolled by "pro-Willkie people,"
1T is very apparent that the Gal
lup poll is attempting to do what
it did at Philadelphia during the
convention, where, however, it was
dealing with delegates and not with
voters" he said. "It is attempting
to bolster up the false idea that
there is swing to Wendell Willkie.

British press association suggested

and British resistance to the Italian

Need for swift and aggressive ac-

out of the war if possible, although
the Turks significantly pointed out
their close alliance with Britain
and their friendship with Greece.

boys who found the bones and
thought they were part of a hu-
man skeleton, the officers went as
far as they could in Woods desert
schooner, the contraption which re-
sembles mechanics nightmare
but which travels through desert
wastes impossible to other cars.
They finally left the schooner
and started on foot in search of a
certain hummock near which the
boys said the bones were lying
They inspected hummock after
hummock. For several hours it was
always the wrong hummock. On
the way back to the schooner one
of the youngsters recognized the
hummock and sure enough
near it the bones! They all rushed
over to investigate.

New Comet Acts
AS Expected

The new Cunningham comet is
behaving according to predictions"
and should be visible with binocu-

discoverer, Leland Cunningham of
the Harvard observatory, said to-
day.
The comet, discovered six weeks
ago, is hurtling through space to-
ward the earth at the rate of more
than $4,000 miles an hour, Gun
ningham said. In another month,
he said, it will be visible to the
naked eye unless it becomes toe
diffuSe.
Though the comet still is 140,-
00O, 900 miles distant, Cunningham
predicted it would be the brightest
since Halley's comet of 1910.
