SMITH VICTORY IN WISCONSIN BLACK EYE FORM'ADOO Loss of Western State Will Stir Up Old Enemy Cry, By LAWRENCE MARTIN United Pr°sa Staff Correspondent April 2.—Governor A1 Smith’s strong race in Wisconsin against William G. McAdoo is valuable publicity for Smith, but it is more significant in its effect on MeAdoo’s fortunes' than as a gauge of Smith’s strength. Any time McAdoo is beaten in a contest, the reiterated "McAdoo cannot win” of his many foes will swell to a louder chorus. If his enemies can get enough people to believe that McAdoo will not win and if McAdoo loses Wisconsin, an intensely progressive Mid-Western State, which would seem to belong to McAdoo, as between him and Smith, it is more of a black eye for McAdoo than a victory for Smith. Naturally, to win a mid-western State will hearten the Smith forces O'emendouslv, for they have been told with much emphasis that Smith cannot win in the West and Mid-West. Nobody would claim that Smith coul 1 carry Wisconsin ( in an election, of course, so long as the La Follette control holds. One reason for Smith's strength there undoubtedly lies in his position on prohibition. Wisconsin has ktrong sympathy for Smith’s wet views, particularly in its cities. To continue a factor in the presidential race every candidate must show some strength’outside his home State. Thera will be a number of Democratic nspirants this year who will capture f. State or two -here and there and go into the convention with that claim to consideration. Smith will be one of these. It will be interesting to see how his Wisconsin victory—if the promise of the early returns is borne out—will be followed up in other Mid-Western States and what the responses will be.

Sculptor Molds Tribute in Wet Sands to Wife and Baby Who Perished in Pueblo Flood of 1922

Bn XEA Service ODGE CITY. Kas., April 2. A lonely, nameless sculptor wanders up and down the banks of mid-western rivers carving in wet sand figures of a mother and her babe. A melancholy task is his. But it brings him the only comfort his great grief will permit him to enjoy. The figure of the woman represents his wife; the babe, his child. They died in the Pueblo Hoods two years ago. Recently the stranger appeared here. Few paid heed to him until they saw him molding his figures in the sand. Gradually crowds gathered and watched. But hour after hour went by without the stranger apparently

ONTARIO ACQUIRES FLEET OF PLANES TO WATCH TIMBER Thirteen Ships to Patrol in Search of Forest Fires in Canada, TORONTO, Ontario. April 2. —The Ontario government has purchased a fleet of thirteen airplanes to patrol timber areas in the provinces this year, watch for and prevent forest fires, according to an announcement by Hon. James Lyons, minister of lands and forests. Regular air patrols will be maintained throughout the summer and fall, Mr. Lyons said, in districts where the most valuable stands of timber are located. Wireless telephone stations will be Installed at strategic points In the provinces to keep in communication with the planes. In addition to protecting the timber areas against fire, the planes, it is announced, will be used to make a survey of Ontario's forest wealth with a view toward conservations. Aerial photographs will be taken to determine for the government tho amount of reforestation necessary to insure future supplies of timber and pulp. The planes will also check up on large timber concessions to see if the government is securing sufficient returns on them. More than $75,000,000, it is shown, is invested in the lumbering and pulp industry of Ontario The province is the greatest source of pulpwood on the continent The total area of forest land in Ontario is estimated at 120,000 square miles. Considerable success, it is pointed out, has already been achieved utilizing airplanes for forest protection in British Columbia and Quebec. The efficiency of these air patrols in re porting outbreaks and rushing forest rangers to the scene of the conflagrations has saved timber stands valued at millions of dollars in the last few years.

NEW PENSION LAW IN ARGENTINA IS REGARDED AS JOKE No Funds Available to Pay All Who Have Worked for 25 Years, By United Press BUENOS AIRES. April 2, —Nobody laid down nis tools to take advantage of tho new law abolishing work for every one who has toiled twenty-five years. Tho new pensions law became officially effective Tuesday, but all indications were that It didn’t operate. Every one in the Argentine who had worked a quarter century or more was entitled to quit and draw a pension from the government for the rest of his life. No Funds Available As no provision for raising in advance the huge fund required had been made, however, no one took a chance. Central headquarters for the elaborate machinery that will be required to give effect to the pensions law were opened in a business block in Buenos Aires. Four Per Cent of Wages Any one who had not worked twenty-flve years Is supposed to pay 5 per cent of his salary to the pensions fund. No greater rush to comply with this portion of the law was observed than was the case with those who might have dropped shovel or pick and started on a life of rest. Opponents of the measure still hope to cause it to fail.

Miss India Wilson, in charge of the Indianapolis girls, asked for a schedule of tests from the accident prevention bureau. These tests have been approved by the national organization and will be started soon. MERGERS VIEWED WITH MISGIVING Head of Printers’ Union Gives Ideas of Consolidations. Increasing frequency of newspaper disappearances through consolidation and mergers Is viewed with misgiving by John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer of the International Typographical Union. “Reduction in the number of newspapers published, of course, means reduced opportunities for employment by members of the typographical union, and other newspaper workers,” said Mr. Hays. “That unfortunate situation, however, Is not of such vital importanae to the general public. The thing that matters is the silencing of powerful editorial voices and the elimination of competition in the journalistic fields. “Concessions to the public taste and the public’s conception of fair play are to a large extent flependertt on competition In journalism. "How, for instance, can labor expect a fair deal In the press when competition for the favor of the individual subscriber is greatly reduced? Many sizable communities now have but a single newspaper and the present tendency to swallow up competition undoubtedly will create similar situations In many other communities within the next decade. Thus we have whole territories dependent for news and views upon the whims and selfish purposes of a single man or small group.” Fearless Rat at Derby LONDON, April 2. —Felix tho Rat, who lives under a platform of the Midland station, Derby, is so courageous he will amble under a moving train for a fragment of stale bread.
