SMITH FAMILY OF U. S. HOLDS FIRSTREUNION More Than 2,000 Attend St. Louts Affair; Get Al’s Greetings. BY ROSCOE K. SMITH United Pres* Special Correspondent ST. LOUIS, Mo.. July 14.-If you’re a Smith and aren’t here today, you’re missing the biggest party your family ever ‘threw.’ For the Smith Association of the World, with the best wishes of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, and with a promise of fair .weather, met at Forest Park in its first annual get-together. In honor of the event, Mayor Victor J. Miller of St. Louis, officially proclaimed it “Smith day,” paw to it that nearly fifty Smith members of the police force were detailed to the reunion, and personally welcomed the Smiths to St. XjOUIS. Letter From A1 Smith Frank R. Smith, a St. Louis printer and oriinator of the Smith Association idea, was master of ceremonies, and read to the assembled Smiths the following letter from the Democratic presidential nominee “Dear Brother Smith “I have received your letter of July 9 and send through you to the members of the Smith Association my very best wishes. “I should like very much to be present at the coming meeting of the Smith Association, but it is utterly impossible for me to be in fit. Louis on July 14. “Sincerely yours, “ALFRED E. SMITH.” Smith, the president of the association, estimated that at least 2,000 members of the largest family in the world would gather here for the program of outdoor events extending from 10 a. m. until 10 p. m. and including field games and lawn dances, not to mention an all-Smith box luncheon. Relates Family Record Percifer Frazer Smith of Philadelphia, historian of the association, related the family record, and added the observation that there are only about 2,000,000 Smiths in America—l,9oo,ooo, to be exact. President Smith reported that since organization of the association several weeks ago his private mail had swelled to such proportions “that you can’t begin to open it all.” “All the Smiths between here and there want to join,” he said. “I have received applications from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even from Canada.” The purpose of the association, Smith said, is to give the family a sense of unity, and possibly to create a charitable fund to care for orphaned Smiths.

Throat Malady Epidemic Similar to Scarlet Fever

Milk Supply Generally Is Given Blame for Disease Spread. By Science Scrricc WASHINGTON, July 14.—Septic sore throat, the disease that is responsible for the present large loss of life in the small Massachusetts village of Lee, is caused by a microorganism very similar to the one causing scarlet fever. Both are members of the streptococcus family. They can only be differentiated by a complicated test which must be carried out on a human subject, o;fflcials of the United States Hygienic Laboratory said today. The .present epidemic is by no menas the first of the kind. Septic sore throat has occurred as an epidemic in this country and England since 1875. Generally the milk supply was the agent that spread the disease. In 191?, more than a thousand cases with thirty-eight deaths were reported in Boston, which Chicago, in the same year, had 10,000 cases within a few weeks. Baltimore had 3,000 cases, with thirty deaths in 1912. The milk becomes infected through the humans who handle it, sfnd not through the cow, as in the case of tuberculosis. Cows may become infected with the organism, but it does not cause disease in them and such infection of the animal, as well as the contamination of the milk, is due to contact with infected humans, for this organism is not native to cows.

KEEP COOIJY SALT Add Pinch to Drinking Water and Forget Heat. By Science. Service WASHINGTON, July 14.—0f course, everybody drinks more water during very hot weather, but if just a pinch of salt is added it will help greatly toward enduring the heat. Scientists investigating conditions in hot coal mines and steel plants found that the workers who succumbed rapidly when working in a temperature of about 100 degrees were able to stand it better when this small amount of salt was added to their drinking water. At high temperatures, especially when working hard, the body gives off large amounts of water in perspiration. This is nature’s way of keeping us cool. But our bodies also lose much salt with the perspiration, which is what causes a large part of the physical exhaustion felt when working in hot weather. To overcome this, add a pinch of salt to your drinking water. POLICE CAPTURE TWO Run Down Men After Alleged Attempt to Steal Cars. When Sergt.

Charm Center City Girls Combine Beauty of All Parts of Nation, Say Experts.

INDIANAPOLIS girls combine the beauties of those of New York, San Francisco and the Middle West, local beauty experts believe. Mias Natalie Thurston, New York beauty expert, believes a man who would always be accomplished by the ultimate of feminine beauty should step out with a San Francisco girl in the morning, a Chicago girl. in the afternoon and a New York maiden after 6 p. m. Local beauty experts disagree. Indianapolis girls have the combined charms of all, says Carl W. Fulton, president of the Rainbow Beauty School. Indianapolis girls not only have natural beauty for a basis, but know their cosmetics, use them properly to make their good points stand out in any setting. The New York’s beauty experts theory for a mixed beauty menu runs like this: “The fresh, vital, wholesome quality of the ‘Friscan’. makes her especially charming in the morning. Her pink and white complexion is as naturally fresh as the dew of morning. She lacks, however, that Chicago chic to carry her through the post-luncheon doldrums. Chicago women lead the rest of the nation in making up to look natural. That is why they are at their best in the afternoon when the day is at its peak and women, to look well at all. must compete with nature. But Miss New York, mistress of make-up, has no competition after the candles are lit.” EVANSVILLE ATTORNEY HEADS BAR OF INDIANA James M.

NORRIS TO FIGHT ALONE AGAINST POWERJRUST Third Party Move Called Futile by Nebraska Senator. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 14. Senator George Norris of Nebraska, who has fought alone so often he is used to it, has turned the ebbing energy of a warrior grown old in battle to another fight, which he likewise probably will wage singlehanded. Turning down the presidents nomination of the Farmer-Labor party with one hand, Norris raised the other dramatically today in a campaign for the direct election of President and against what he calls ‘‘the power trust.” It is futile, he declared, to start a third party, “There is no way under our system by which the people, who are supposed t be sovereign, can express their choice in a presidential contest,” he said. No Chance for Voters “They vote for presidential electors, and to run an independent candidate for President or to organize anew political party In a presidential contest, It Is necessary to organize and select hundreds of presidential electors from the various States of the Union, and when this difficult and expensive process is performed, still the name of the presidential candidate can not appear upon the official ballot,” he said. Turning to the electric power inquiry, Norris said it was so powerful that it prevented either party from saying anything in platforms about it. “With its sinister and selfish motives, it has invaded the public schools; it has contaminated the colleges and the universities; it has bribed and controlled Legislatures and public officials: it has bought seats in the United States Senate; it has attempted to control the minister in the pulpit; it has bribed the public press; it has not forgotten the women’s clubs, Boy Scouts, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, and it has undertaken to blacken the character and question the patriotism of every citizen and of every organization that has dared to interfere with Its progress,” he said. Power Trust Blasted Norris declared that “every penny of the money by which it has been able to carry-on this campaign has been wrung from the people of the United States in exorbitant charges.” “It will contribute from this fund, stolen from the people, sufficient money to permit each of the great political machines to carry on the sham battle, while it continues to thrive and grow fat upon special governmental favors,” he added. SWEDISH BISHOP HELD Charged With Passing Worthless Checks in Chicago. By United Press CHICAGO, July 14.—The Right Reverend Fryxell, who claims to be a bishop of the First Orthodox Swedish Church, was held by police here today, charged with passing a worthless check. Bishop Fryxell told police he had cashed the check, thinking that he had sufficient funds in the bank to cover it. The check was given, he said, to pay for a ring for candidates to kiss at confirmation services In New York. Finds Coin Dated 1773 Bu United Press DUDLEYTOWN, Ind., July 14.
