Literary Digest Poll Gives 7,346 to 3,536 Up to Date. Herbert Hoover leads A1 Smith two to one in the first Indiana figures in the Literary Digest 1928 Presidential poll, announced today The poll, however, shows a far stronger drift of Republicans to Smith than of Democrats to Hoover in Indiana. The Digest poll four years ago result with remarkable accuracy . The first returns show Hoover with 7,346 compared to 3,536 for Smith in Indiana. Os the Hoover votes 1,065 afe persons who voted Democratic in 1924. Smiths’ total includes 1,359 who voted Repulbican in 1924. Nationally, Hoover Is leading the poll by two to one. the standing being: 192,292 for Hoover to 92,855 for Smith. The Digest points out that this is not so encouraging for Hoover as it appears, since the 1924 poll at this point Cooiidge was leading Davis by a ratio of four to one. the poll ending a few days before election with Cooiidge holding a two to one lead. The poll shows Hoover leading by ratios of from two to one to three to one in all States tabulated, but none of the "Solid South” States is included. In New York the poll gives Hoover 30,814 to 12,822 for Smith. This, however, does not include answers from New; York City, which is expected to swing the poll around to Smith shortly. The Digest says: “In all considerations of the poll at the second week’s stage, it must be remembered that it shows approximately

DROP TRIANGLE PLAN Price of Land for Delaware Project Held Too High. V The park board Thursday was plunged again into the troublesome problem of obtaining an adequate outlet for the heavy Delaware St. traffic at Fall Creek when plans to purchase a two and one-half acre tract of land between Washington Blvd. and Talbot Ave., south of Twenty-Eighth St. and north of Delaware St. were dropped. It had been planned to purchase the land and build a triangle approach to the bridge to accommodate Talbot Ave., Delaware St. and Washington Blvd. traffic. The proposal, which had been counted on to solve the difficult traffic problem, was dropped after representatives of Jose-Balz Company, owners of the property, protested its sale. The company set the price for the property at $125,000, while appraisers for the board estimated its value at $61,000. Board members declared the demanded price “exorbitant,” but decided against instituting condemnation proceedings. Asa means of solving the traffic problem.

RELIEF WORK DRAINS FUNDS OF AGENCIES Welfare Groups Hard Hit by Added Burdens, Audits Show. NEEDY FAMILIES AIDED Illness and Unemployment Factors in Increase of Outlay. Community Fund agencies have been carrying unusually heavy loads this year, according to the audited report of receipts and disbursements for first nine months of current .fiscal year made public today by Hugh McK. Landon, president of the fund organization. Family relief work, including the boarding and housing of children, has caused a deficit of about SIO,OOO in the budget of the Family Welfare Society, the report shows. Demands for the services of this organization are usually heaviest in December and January, but this year the peak load was not reached until March, with April showing demands equal to winter months. Beginning in July, a steady increase for services has been noted, largely because of illness and unemployment. Another unexpected demand w’as caused by the storm which damaged the Boy Scout reservation early in the summer. Gifts from a few' citizens and an increased allowance from the Community Fund met this emergency. Other Community Fund agencies are endeavoring to stay within their allowances despite the heavier demands made upon them so far in 1928.

"Can't we get out of here and go some place where we can dance?” whispered the prince. “We can,” replied Lily, who slipped away and called Gloria Swanson. “Gloria, we’re over at Doug’s and the party is getting awfully dull. Can we come over to your house?”

In less than an hour the "bandit car” was hemmed in by the posse on the ground. Then late in the day, while police and pilots were comparing notes on the "trial holdup,” the news of the real robbery at Maize came.

in camera studies has been with beautiful women. Yet, if I were asked to name the one that I considered lovelier than all the rest, I should have to acknowledge defeat. My favorite model is Naomi Johnson, now featured in a Broadway production. Miss Johnson is my “Greuze” model, because she combines many of the lively features to be found in the masterpieces of the French painter. A delicate, lovely head set upon a young form that combines femininity and athletic strength. Wavy, chestnut brown hair, level brows and soft grey eyes. Breadth between the eyes, a straight nose with sensitive nostrils and well defined lips that curve at the corners, suggest a sense of humor and intelligence. Her skin is creamy in coloring and she is of medium height. Girls of Miss Johnson’s type and coloring should use a medium rachel powder with just a dash of rose in foundation. A soft, raspberry shade of rouge, placed a little lower on the cheekbones and worked carefully to the center of both cheeks Is an admirable way to bring out the natural contour. A medium lipstick, resembling the natural color of healthy lips should be used. Miss Johnson wears her cioffure low, over the ears, and swirled about the nape of her neck. I know of no type that has a greater range of colors to choose from than the Greuze beauty. Possibly every shade, with the exception of olive greens, harsh purples and mustard yellows look well on her. French and steel blues, golden brown, gray and beige are exceedingly becoming for daytime wear. And she should adopt soft chiffons and tulle for evening wear.

So the orchestra was taken back to Gloria’s, where the party continued—with a slight interruption for breakfast—until 10 o'clock. Almost twelve hours of dancing with one girl. No wonder Hollywood is beginning to ask, “is Prince George going to marry outside of nobility?” But Lily won’t tell.

SMITH MAKES BID FOR VOTES IN WjSCONSIN Bold Stroke Is Taken for Faction Long Controlled by La Follete. CHEERS IN MINNEAPOLIS Employs Ridicule, Satire in Attack on G. 0. P. and Hoover. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 28.—Governor Alfred E. Smith will move his campaign caravan today into the ! La Follette strongholds in Wiscon* 1 sin. i He carried with him a program | similar to that by which the elder La Follette retained his power in the State until his death, and which sent his son, "Young Bob,” to Washington to fill his place. The Democratic candidate, In hi3 two-day stay in Wisconsin, will make a bold bid for the La Follette support in his presidential race. A victory there would give him thirteen electoral votes. Smith may confer with the young Senator while in the State. He is scheduled to leave here at 11 o’clock this morning and arrive in Milwaukee at 8:30 tonight. Heard by 151,000 Persons Tomorrow, the Democratic candidate will confer with political leaders, there, speaking at night In ! the city auditorium. Milwaukee will have to go far to rival the enthusiastic reception I Smith received in Minnesota and in I his speech here last night. The audience of between 13,000 and 15.000 packed the city auditorium. Smith drew shout after shout of applause, as he employed ridicule, satire and his New York buffoonery upon Herbert Hoover, Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican National Committee; Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, and Republicans in genera'.. He charged the Republican Administration of the last seven years with lack of leadership, and told the crowd, to its amusement, that he thought the President ought to give the people “the low-down” on what transpires in Washington. He attacked Hoover on farm relief and inland waterwaqs, challenged him again to state his position further on these issues, and defended his own position on immigration, drawing a thunder of approval when he praised the Germans and Scandinavians who make up a large part of this State’s population. Cheering for Smith before he spoke was led from the platform by Louis W. Hill, president oi the Great Northern Railroad, and son of James J. Hill, known in this section as the “Empire Builder.” In his speech Saturday night in Milwaukee, which will close his western speaking tour, the Democratic candidate will discuss his prohibition modification views, a subject popular in Wisconsin. Smith assigned responsibility for failure of farm relief and an adequate inland waterway program to “lack of leadership’ ’in the last two administrations. “It is not sufficient, in my opinion,” he said “for the President to state his views on great public questions in his annual message to the Congress or in rare formal addresses. I believe that the duty rests upon him of talking to the American people and laying before them the facts, to the end that when they make their determination on big problems of the Nation, they may be In a position to act intelligently and to have thtir representatives in the Senate and in the House express their reasoned opin* ion.” Audience Cheers Wildly The audience cheered wildly when Smith declared it the duty of the President to give the people “the low-down on what Is going on.” and, referring to the administration, said, “There seems to be somebody behind the scenes pulling the strings. “The whole history of the last two Republican administrations suggests that some hidden control, strongly reactionary in its tendencies toward the great questions of the Government, has been in a position to dictate party policy from behind the scenes and delay the progress of great public developments which intereferred with its plans or program. For that reason, the Governor said, “prominent members of the Republican party have walked out of its ranks and openly declared hostility to their party and disagreement with its reactionary tendencies.” Smith blamed “that hidden reactionary control” for the bolt from the Republican party of the late Robert M. La Follette, Sr., of Wisconsin, and of the late Theodore Roosevelt and proceeded with a discussion of farm relief and inland waterways after asking “what more glaring exhibition of lack of leadership could he found in the Republican administration than its handling of the farm relief problem?” He reiterated his Omaha declaration for the principle of the Mc-Nary-Haugen bill, and did not indorse the equalization fee, leaving the question of the machinery for carrying out his principle still open.
