DEMOCRATS COMB WOODS FOR GOOD CAMPAIGNSLOGAN Need Phrase to Combat ‘Keep Coo! With Coolidge,’ Leaders Say. By HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer pry] EW YORK, June 25.—Not the IN I least the considerations | | guiding the Democrats as they grope f£r new combinations from which to evolve a presidential ticket is the matter of campaign slogans. ' For, after all. a catch phrase may be a more powerful factor in building up popular support than mere matters of a candidate’s political or economic viewpoint. With “Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge’’ as the high point in Republican sloganeering to date, the Democrats are seeking a candidate on whom can be hung a phrase still more stimulating. McAdoo boosters believe the most effective campaigning could be done through buttons and,banners picturing the Democratic rooster, with arched neck and flapping wings, emitting anew challenge. Instead of crowing “Cook-a-doodle doo!” according to standardized barnyard formula, this rooster would raise the roof with “McAdoo’ll do! McAdoo'll do.” j. San immediate counter-irri-/Jl tant to the “Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge” cry. pending final selection of a candidate, a m v version has been started at national committee headquarters asking that the country “Keep Cool Without Coolidge.” This, however, it is realized, is only a stop-gap. It is plainly defensive, not offensive, as a truly good slogan should be. “Al’s our pal. He’ll beat Cal.” is the suggestion from Franklin Roosevelt and Norman Mack of the Smith outfit. “Catchy, but lacking punch,” is the comments of on-the-fence delegates to this Smith phrase. p. AVIS and Davis, They Ca a I J Save Us!” is the proposal of certain dark horse boosters who are combining in one cry the names of a combination ticket that has caught considerable favor. "John and Jonathan,” is a secondary cry that could be evolved from this ticket, which, as may be seen, possesses undoubted elements of real strength. 4 For the men proposed to be united under these battle-crys are John W. Davis of West Virginia and New York, a “safe and sane progressive.” a lawyer and a diplomat, and Jonathan M. Davis, honest-to-goodness d}rt farmer, at present Governor of Kansas. -YCHOLOGICALLY. the heaviest handicap carried by Sam l—J Ralston of Indiana is his unavailability as a subject for snappy slogans. No one can figure out how to rouse enthusiasm with Ralston. No one denies his ability* his sincerity, honesty or his political strength, but popular strength as well as personal and political strength will be needed to warm the voters sufficiently to offset the Coolidge coolness. And right there Is where the Carter Glass boomers find an opening for their candidate. “Let the Light in With Glass,” they suggest. “Who’ll be the candidate? "Why. it’s a cinch! Glass! That’s clear!” TEAR GAS VICTORIOUS Police Battle Four Rum Runners at South Bend. By United Pratt SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 25.

WASHINGTON, June 25.—Threefourths of the cities of the United States are being menaced by white ants, which are eating their way up through wooden foundations of buildings. destroying valuable furniture and books, and often even weakening dwellings to such an extent*as to threaten the safety of occupants. So serious is the situation, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce have joined in a national campaign to fight the ants. Thirty-Five Want Aid “So far this year I have received requests for assistance in cot ''bating the ants from cities located in thirtyfive different States of the country,” said Dr. T. E. Snider, specialist in forest entomology of the Depar- ment of Agriculture, who is leading the campaign. Snyder has just returned from several months stay in the Panama Canal Zone, where the property destruction caused by ants runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. His mission was to perfect a type of building which would be proof against the pests. “Although the destruction in the United States has not assumed the proportions of the tropics, it is constantly increasing with the clearing of forests and rapid growth of cities.” Snyder declared. He explained that as long as rural districts remain the ants can confine their weed eating propensities to tree stumps and underbrush. “But once the trees are cleared off the ants transfer their attentions to houses,” Snyder stated. Revising Code In Washington the damage has assumed such proportions that the district engineer is now revising the building code to prevent further inroads. Snyder explained that the only way the ant menace can be combated successfully Is to have all wooden foundations imbedded in concrete and too have no contact of wood with the ground. Chemical treatment of the wood is also recommended. “People building their own houses usually have enough foresight to do this, b it contractors, who build sim ply to sell, try - to minimize the expense by not using concrete,” Snyder explained.

A storm strands them at the grave. "Change name." a message from a seance, Dorothy believes to be from Peter, telling her to accept Ishmm's marriage proposal. They are married by a native priest. Sanchef appears. Dorothy renounces the marriage. Peter announces his identity. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mHERE was not one fraction of an instant’s doubt or question -f the simple declaration. Before the undulation of the deep tone was dead in the air, she knew, as well as she knew the fact of her own life, that the man spoke true. For all his face and form were utterly different, his hands and voice and carriage wholly changed, this was Peter Newhall, her husband, in the flesh. There was no time to dwell upon the wonder of it. She saw a swift shadow at the edge of the fire’s glow —something that moved like a stalking wolf toward Peter—and she cried sharply in warning. At the same instant she sprang from her own place in an instinctive effort to protect hec„ husband from that stealthy, murderous assault. Her cry reached Peter not an instant too soon. Because his nerves were sound, and the ravages of his youthful dissipations wholly repaired, he was able to act upon that warning in the twinkle of an eye. There was no time for thought; as if by instinct he leaped aside, his quick eye caught sight of the figure that was even now poised to strike, and his powerful muscles made swift and tremendous response. Pavlof, faithful to the last to his demigod, had drawn a knife that flashed in a shining arc and startled to save the situation in his own way; but Peter’s rifle in his arms and the heavy barrel struck the leaping fl ; ure with shattering force. He crum-

pled in the moss, Tor the time being impotent and unconscious. It seemed to Peter that the Russian's hand moved towqrd his hip and he wisely decided to take the offensive. The rifle leaped to his shoulder, and the long, strong finger curled about the trigger, ready to exert the little, deadly ounce of pres-sift-e at the needed instant. "Whatever murderous instincts had been wakened in Ivan were speedily repressed. Once before he had seen that rifle at that same shoulder—the day his life had been menaced by the charging she-bear—rand he remembered the sureness of aim, the lightning swiftness of fire. That deadly combination could not fail at this close range. SHE SAW A SWIFT SHADOW AT THE EDGE OF THE FIRE “I don’t trust this bunch,” Peter said roughly. -’Put up your hands, Ivan. I’m not going to take a chance.” Ivan obeyed promptly; Peter was in a deadly mood. The Mongol was a brave man and a sportsman, yet he did not even attempt his old, grim smile of bravado. “You seem to hold the cards,” he said simply. “I’m going to continue to hold them, £00.” Peter gave a quick glance in search of Sarichef, finding him, appalled and terrified, in the

shadows beside the dugout. The latter had left his rifle and supplies in the dugout and no shadow of opportunity remained in which to seize it and use it in his master’s behalf. ! He threw up his hands at Peter's command. Next Peter located Fortune Joe, also obscured in the shadows, and called him to his side. "Search all these fellows for weapons,” he ordered simply, “and pile ’em up in front of me. Get Ivan's pistol first.” Joe obeyed promptly, and at Peter's command carried down the sacks of supplies that had been prepared for tomorrow’s journey and loaded them in the dory. The weapons were similarly disposed of. Then, shielding Dorothy behind him, he backed down to the water's edge. He helped the girl into the bow' seat; then while he stood guard Joe shoved off. As the boat was lifted on the first little wave he himself sprang in. 1 Joe grasped his oars. “Can we make it out?” Peter asked quietly of his oarsmen. There was a tremor in his voice now; but it was nothing to cost Joe his confidence in him, or Dorothy her faith. The native knew him as a strongleader, a worthy representative of a great race. To Dorothy came the certain knowdedge that as long as her hand lay in his, no rough seas need appall her, no moaning darkness fill her with fear. With such companionship as they had, as existed every where between well-mated men and women of their race,, what heathen hordes could conquer them, w'hat lesser breeds despoil them of their dominance! Joe dipped his oars. “It’s a strong wind, but fair,” he said laconically. It was a strong wind, but fair, that blew them down the peninsula. Many the time they were menaced by reefs and up-jqtting sea crags; often they were harrassed by storms and obliged to seek shelter in the deep-cut bays, and more than once it seemed beyond belief that they would not be instantly overwhelmed. But always Fortune Joe’s good seamanship, assisted by/ Peter's good nerve and strong muscles, brought them safely through. It was a long, difficult, dangerous journey, but these were voyagers not to be despised. Dorothy, the daughter of a strong breed, had always had a potential strength with which to meet such tests as this, and with Peter beside her the old curse of fear was largely lifted. Even if they had to go the whole long way to the nearest settlement they would have overcome the dangers, won their race with winter, and come through. As it happened, the sea gods were favorab’e to their venture, and half way out they encoun-

tered a sturdy launch sent from Unalaska to their rescue. The Warrior had not gone down, after all. She had broken her wheel on the way to shelter that first, day l and, helpless against the storm, had been blown through the chain of islands and far out into the Pacific. Ultimately she had encountered a ship, had been helped into port, and had arranged by wireless for a rescue part/ to go in search of her passengers marooned on the mainland. Ivan and'his two followers had already vanished into the interior, probably on their way to some of the Eskimo villages beyond the bays, when the rescue ship touched at the sCene of the late camp. Peter’s return home, his wife beside him, was accomplished in good'time, and here both are Hidden in the maze of human events. The straw that the guide Pete had cut for the wilderness beds was blown away on the winds, the cooking rack grew weath-er-beaten and wan at last blown down, and the alder thickets spread and encompassed the camp. Soon there was little sign that human beings had ever passed that way. The caribou fed at the very mouth of the dugout, only occasionally stopping to sniff, in wonder, at the rainbeat ashes of the fire; the wolverine hunted with unabated ferocity along the creek bed; and sometimes the great, surly Alaskan grizzly wandered through the camp, wondering, no doubt, what manner of his brethren had once had their lair on this lonely beach and why they had gone away. The waves still broke and rolled on the shore, but no one looked across them for a returning ship; and the wind blew, but no one was appalled by its raving. Only the j white cross, seemingly spared by the forces of the elements, still endured —a white emblem of eternity; perhaps a landmark for natives beating down the coast in their skin boats. Again the elements ruled supreme; the snow lay untracked by human footprints from sea to sea, the wind swept unchecked by any human habitation. Yet their victory would be short-lived. As Peter had prophesied, in time even this storm-swept, savage land woulu be drawn into man’s dominions. "Peter himself would return some time. There was one duty still unperformed. The matter was called to his attention the second night after they had boarded the rescue ship from Unalaska. He had sfood on the deck with Dorothy, watching the eerie trail where the churning propeller set the sea alight; and the girl seemed wandering in a dreamworld or her own. “There’s just one thing that isn’t clear,” she told him, in the low voice that haunted him

throughout the years of his exile. “You remember the seance —I asked to speak to you. The message that came through was what made me decide to marry Ivan. It was 'Cham the name'-r-just that: ‘Change the name.’ What do you make of it, Peter?” He turned to her, and she saw that he was smiling cryptically. “The message was logical enough, Dorothy,” he said, "if you want to believe.” “But you were there, in the circle— ’’ “You didn’t ask, in so many words, to speak to me. If you did, Fortune Joe didn't get it straight. Surely you remember how bewildered he was, how he seemed at a loss. He didn't get any results until you told him that you wanted to speak to the man who lay in that grave. And if you want to, you can believe the message came from him!” He knew by the touch of her hand and the luster in her eyes that she was deeply moved. “To change the name on the cross!” she explained. “Os course. But perhaps it was jest something telepathic, coming from me. Sometime we’ve got to go back and do it; it’s only decent.
