WOMEN PREDOMINANT

At many polls il was appar-
ent that more women than men
were among the voters, bearing
out predictions that the powder
puff vote would be all import
ant in this election.
New York City voting Off
Gals reported Is per cent of the
vote in by $50 a. m, and at
most polling places so to so were
standing il. line.
In Pennsylvania, whose 35
electoral votes many expect may
be decisive in a close election,
all indications were that the
total vote would equal or sur
pass 1910 despite the absence
in the armed services of thous-
ands of younger men and wo-
men.
Reports from other population
centers across the country, such
as Kansas City, Omaha, Des
Moines, Oklahoma City, st. Lou
is, Detroit and Louisville, were
similar.
Brisk voting was reported
from Chicago, and in Ohio the
rural turnout WIN described as
the heaviest in history.

in Minnesota

CLOQUET, MINI. - UD -
When the manpower situation in
the Undertaking trade reach
ed crisis last winter, boypow-
er was substituted by Cloquet's
three lumber mills, and with ad-
mirable results.
T. Schanx- Hanson, director Of
the Cloquet Experimental For
est, and Harry @. Nelson, county
school official, evolved the plan
Of a contest for Schoolboys. Over
a 50-mile area schools were can
vasSed. The response was en-
thusiastic.
Individually and by clubs,
youngsters ID years old and
downward went at the job, and
when the contest closed late in
the summer, the contestants had
added more than 1000 cords of
pulpwood TO the Cloquet stock
piles, and stable sums to their
own bank accounts or war bond
collections.
One group project was that of
the Future Farmers at Cotton, a
settlement near here, where the
club bought stumpage rights to
a tract, paid wages of 60 to 90 II
cents an hour, and delivered 123
cords.

further clue than the hunters
boat. The searchers included
planes of Selfridge Field, the
Civil Air Patrol, a chartered
plane from the Detroit City Air
port, United States Coast Guard
and Macomb County sheriff s
officers.
Monday, in desperation, Mrs.
Emily Mccormick and Mrs, Lee
liza Horvath chartered a private
cruiser and anxiously covered
many square miles of lake wa
ter without finding a clue to
their husbands fate.
At home, too young to realize
the tragedy overshadoW / n g
them, were the mems children,
Shirley Mccormick, age three
years, and Victor HorVath, age
six. Each family has only ono
child.
One slight but comforting
clue has buoyed up the mothers
hopes: lifejackets carried by the
hunters in their duck boat was
not found with the abandoned
craft. Whether the men had
time to don them, or whether
the lifesavers drifted away can
not be determined.
Low temperatures throughout
the weekend and lake water
close to the freezing point lent
encouragement to hopes for the
mems safety.
That they may have drifted to
an island or been picked up by
some other craft near the Ca
madam shore seemed but a faint
hope.
Police agencies and private
boat owners continued their
search over the wide expanse
of lake in the hope that some
clue will be turned up to reveal
the mystery of the duck hunt
erS' disappearance.
Mccormick is an insurance
salesman and Horvath war

NEW HAVEN When John
Krowczyks, of New Haven, re-
ported TO sheriffs deputies to-
day that five currepcy bills had
been taken from his clothes as
he slept, he described a heavy
loss.
One was a $1,000 bill; five
were $50 denomination; two
were $40 and one was compar-
atively insignificant So bill: to-
tai Sl,295.
Krowczyks told Deputy Jack

an expansive roll. He said that
the theft took place at the home
of his former wife, at 5307 Van

Basic Premises.
The group set forth the following
basic premises:
l. Sanity in expenditures is as
much a part of the tax program as
is the tax levying itself. Therefore
expenditures must be kept to the
minimum consistent with good gov
ernment.
2. Tax revenue must be ADEQUATE
to meet cost of Government. This
does not necessarily mean that there
must never be deficit at the end of
fiscal year,
3. Private venture capital must be
made available by not taxing the
investor so heavily as to preclude
him from building up surpluses and
investing them.
4. The present method of taxing
corporate earnings must be allevi-
ated. 1t is unfair and repressive OF
enterprise. and places too great q
burden on the business dollar.
5. The tax base must be broad
ened. Every one from the wage Garner
to the capitalist must expect to con-
tribute his shade to meet the cost

will be, in reality. the cost of the war
