He should be made to whistle at the lower end of a heavy hemp rope for ,y about an hour. * The best way to make a city pros- * perous is to make it so attractive that people will want to live in it. Thats just what Decatur is trying to d do and has been for years.

Cleveland, July 9.—(INS) — This

city wants one. or both of the big political conventions, and nothing is being left undone toward that end. Local committees have been selected by leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively, tc formulate plans for collecting necessary fundfe and do other work necessary before a formal invitation can be presented to the national committee which will deci<M where its patyy tonventfuu will be held. Send Questionnaires Response fiT" sent to members of the G. O. P. national committee, by Carmi A. Thompson, Republican state chairman. indicate that Cleveland is acceptable to the majority of the committee but most of those interrogated declined to finally commit themselves as to their actual vote when the question of selecting the convention site arises. I nless a decision is reached in the national committee to hold the Republican ionvention in the far west, the Cleveland committee feels that this city has better than an even chance to land the meeting. Waiting For Butler William R. Butler, of Boston, Republican national chairman, is scheduled to visit Cleveland in the very near future and local party leaders are hoping to get from him a line on Hie city's chances for the convention. Minneapolis and Detroit are also in the limelight for the G. O. P. conclave. A Democratic committee recently held a state meeting here at. which plans were made toward bringing the Democratic convention here in 192 X. The “demmies” expressed the opinion that the chances to land the Democratic convention “looked more favorable than ’the Republican.” — o — 2,000 Touring Movies Sent Out By Soviet Moscow (United Press)—Two thousand potable moving picture exhibitions are “on the road" in the Soviet Union tills spiing, to introduce the movies to every village and hamlet, however remote it may be. Additional projector companies are being organized in Moscow by the Commissariat of Education and will soon be sent out. Development of motion pictures and their popularization among the people are directly supported by special state subsidies. The profits of the traveling shows are by law invested in the towns and villages which contributed them, for construction of large hails tor permanent use as moving picture theatres.

IRETURNSFROM G.E. CONVENTION Roscoe Bock man Attends International Meeting Os Christian Endeavor Roscoe Bocknfan has returned from attendance at the Thirty-first 'inter-! national Christian Endeavor conven-' tion, held in Cleveland. Ohio, from July 2to 7, He reports that the j emphasis was placed upon the promotion of world and personal evangelism, prohibition and world peace. Speakers were heard who hailed from Canada, England, Austrians. China Hungary. Finland, India, Mexico. Hawaii, in addition to those from dis-, ferent states in the union. Conferences on subjects related to Christian Endeavor meetings occupied the' morning sessions. While many of the speakers arc of national and international fame, the, local delegate who has returned to, his home says that one of the chief values of the convention came from the contact he had with the thousands of other delegates from all over the United States and Canada and the enthusiasm manifested by them. All of the delegations participated in the big parade held on July Fourth, which traversed about two miles of Cleveland's streets and required one hour i and twenty-five minutes to pass a given point. Hon. Vic Donahey, governor of the State of Ohio, headed the parade and reviewed it. together with W. R. Hopkins, city manager of Cleveland. The outstanding series of addresses were given at the Quiet Hour service every morning at S o'clock by the Rev. Dr. Wiliam Hiram Foulkes of Newark. N. J., on the theme: “Youth and the Pathways to Life." These were deeply spiritual. The keynote convention speech was given at the opening session by the Rev. Dr. Daniel A. Poling of New York, who was elected president of the movement at the convention at Portland two years ago and re-elected at Cleveland. The keynote was sounded with the slogan "Crusade With Christ". In part, Dr. Poling said: “Personal allegiance to and acceptance of Jesus Christ” has defined the spirit of our program for the past year. By the unanimous vote of the representatives of the denominations and commissions whose delegates sit in this convention, it has been made the legend of onr plans for the two years just ahead. Personal acceptance of and allegiance to Jesus Christ! Crusade with Christ! The two are one! To go with Him in His world-saving way, we must be with Him. Beyond all creedal statements and including them, this trumpet is the challenge to be Christians and “to do whatever He would like to have us do.” Here our program stands or falls. Here enters victory or defeat. We can do all things through Christ. We can nly fall without Him. “For me. Evangelism is first. Youth needs preeminently not technical education. but an informed and vitalized heart. Out of the hear: are the issues of life. Organize in personal evangelism. In our union activities let us come alongside the city federations of churches to participate in visitational evangelism and let no pastor ever fail to have in congregational evangelism the one hundred per cent loyalty and participation of his Christian Bndeavorers. Bible study classes . and mission study classes, as well as class definitely organized to study personal work, should be dedicated to the supreme business of bringing young and old into personal acceptance of and allegiance to Jesus Christ. We must have our part iu seeing to it that Christian education is unfalteringly and preeminently Christian.”

i HEDDA HOYT TELLb ....about... J - FASHIONS for WOMEN i y Hedda Hoyt (U. P. Fashion Editor) New York. July 9.—(VP)-A great deal of attention is concentrated upon shoes and hosiery this summer! Shoes for town wear have become less exotic and more standardized in typ< while those for sports wear have become less standardized and more exotic. For instance, one sees quantities of black shoes upon the streets these days whereas a season or so ago there were only light tans and grays. Tan. parchment, brown, and rosebeige shades, however, still outnumber black. As to cut. plain pumps aud one-strap models are preferred to ornate strapped and cut-out models as leather trimming details are more important than unusual shoe outlines for street wear. Many contrasting leathers are used such as the combination of lizard, crocodile or snake with calfskin of the same shade. Calfskin assimulating reptile effects are popular. The sports shoe is attracting more interest at present' than the street shoe owing to its variety. The flatheeled model, designed for comfort only, is worn only where one actually indulges in heavy sports. Models worn for resort wear are high-heeled and in outline not unlike town models. Some of the smartest sports shoes this year are pastel linens in shades of pale greenish blue, rose-beige, nude, yellow, and green. Hand-em-broidered linens are worn for dressy afternoon wear.
