HOOVER MAY STUMP ACROSS U. S. IN CAMPAIGN WIND UP

2-WEEK TRIP WITH SEVERAL TALKS URGED Speech in Boston Oct. 24 Would Be Start of Long Tour. END ON WEST COAST L, 'osc Drive n• ■ ? <, ; ust * UaiU dent WASHINGTON, sept. -3. -Tentative plans are being made for Herbert Hoover to make a whirlwind windup of his presidential campaign with a two weeks’ tour across the country from Boston to tan Francisco. The date of the nominee’s final eastern speech in Boston has not yet been determined. This is so he may frame his plans according to the demands of the final campaign, but if this new scheme is adopted he would speak in Boston Oct. 24, starting west from there that night. Four or five important speeches enroute would be included on his program if he follows the demands ' of some of his managers. Invitations have come to him from a dozen cities and States including Buffalo, Cleevland, Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Boise, Butte, Oklahoma, Texas, Seattle and San Francisco. His acceptances will be determined first by the route he chooses to go to his Pacific coast home and secondly by the political expediency. Hoover does not think much of the plan to make many speeches. Only two speeches thus far have been set officially, Elizabethtown, Tenn., Oct. 6 and New York, Oct. 17.

PETER 0&l Peter is the kind of boy v” - V’vl§s|i wins in whatever he undertakes —a boy to whom the school j&EaM&gk looks for leadership in all its activities. Peter is not a little bookworm ‘Jrf. . m W? —he is an all-round boy, two years ••• Jj&F ahead of most boys of his age. His y’, 'Mm mother says: “As soon as he could %v-• read, wc gave Peter The Book of Knowledge. He fairly ‘gobbled up’ the simple, delightful explanations of / me natural phenomena about us.

WAS READY (< \A/HAT Peter read supplemented his school work as he grew older; and when he was twelve I realized the value of what he had been getting from The Book of Knowledge. He then had a chance to win a scholarship. I held my breath while Peter took the tests. He passed. “No boy who delved as Peter had in the pages of The Book of Knowledge could have failed. The questions of the test interested him; they did not frighten him. He had a vast fund of information and was sure of what he knew. We realize now how much he owes to The Book of Knowledge habit.” Boys and girls who have THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE find it a delight and a help every moment of the day. It turns their eager curiosity into important knowledge. Beginning with the Wonder Questions, they go from one to another of the 18 fascinating departments: Familiar Things, The Earth, Animal Life, Plant Life, Things to Make and Do, Literature, Fine Arts, Stories, Poetry—the interesting and essential knowledge of the world, told and pictured so simply and clearly that a child can understand, and made so attractive that children love to read it. This great work, the simplest and most interesting system of universal knowledge, is in the homes of more than 2,000,000 boys and girls. Your children need it, too.

W, C. T. U. BLAST AT CONVENTION SEARS SMITH Speakers Assail Record, Ask Noon Prayers to Aid Hoover. The sharpest attacks on Governor Smith of the two-day convention of the Marion County W. C. T. U. at Broadway M. E. Church marked the closing session Thursday afternoon. • Reports of convention committees were given, naming of new officers and directors ratified and general announcements heard, including j adoption of a permanent meeting place in the Fletcher Savings and ' Trust Bldg. Then resolutions were | offered and adopted calling for the ; observance of a national narcotic • education week and asking the I churches of Indianapolis not to sell ! tobacco in their booths at the State fair. Mrs. Felix McWhhter offered a | resolution condemning Smith as a ! candidate who does not observe the | Eighteenth Amendment, calling for J votes for Hoover on that issue alone, | and calling for prayer every day at noon, that the people might be guided into “the execution of the divine will” in defeating Smith.

C. T. U. who said she would vote for Smith should be permanently expelled. Mrs. McWhirter then reported the world convention of the W. C. T U. at Lausanne, Switzerland, in August, attended by the largest American delegation in histor, including twenty-two from Indianapolis.

It was called a tea party, but there was no pink tea. Rather, there was more of a strong black coffee atmosphere at the annual “Rhinie” tea party on the Butler campus Thursday afternoon. The freshmen received instructions from upper classmen and a few demonstrations were given. One of them was in progress when the above photo was snapped. It shows Dan Morgan, 3556 Carrollton Ave., submitting to the standard penalty for failure to wear the little green cap. The “barber” is Gordon Davis, senior football manager, and the spectators are two varsity letter men prominent in disciplinary procedure.

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—William Allen White, Kansas author and editor, will return to the political battlefield “within twenty - four hours,” he announced today on his return from a two-month European trip. He admitted having received SSOO for a speech to the National Electric Light Association convention at Atlantic City, N. J., before he sailed. White, who several months ago, attacked Governor Alfred E. Smith on his legislative record, only to withdraw some of the charges from the record later, made no comment on that phase of the political situation. . “I’ll have to read my mail first,” he said. “But in twenty-four hours I’ll be back in the battle again. Then I’ll let out a yell.” Regarding his Atlantic City speech, White said: “That was nothing unusual. The fee was not as much as I have been accustomed to receiving for lectures and speeches of other nature.” That White received the SSOO recently was testified to in the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of public utilities’ publicity methods. The editor said he would stop at the National Arts Club here a few days, then return to Emporia, Kan.
