Seth-Parker’s presentation and the Lucky Strike program are next in line. Ben Bernie’s orchestra is a scant few votes ahead of Guy Lombardo's musicians in the most popular orchestra class, while Bernie himself is leading Norman Brokenshire by only five votes for the most popular master of ceremonies. For the most popular announcer. Milton J. Cross of the NBC, David Ross of CBS and Robert Brown of station WLW are tied for top honors.

Adams, Texas national Democratic commiteeman, for President because he believes Baker’s nomination “will win a doubtful state.” Adams said he would like to see a. southern man the candidate, and that he thought that Senator Joe T. Robinson, of Arkansas, Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, or John Garner, of Texas, would be strong candidates. “It is important, however, he said, “that we have a candidate who can win if he had Democratic ideas.” “I am more inclined to believe that Baker will be a candidate whose nomination will win a doubtful state. His long association with the late President Wilson and his record as war-time secretary of war ere o fl ->er powerful influences in his favor.” MILE OF DIMES SOUGHT New Parish House to Be Built if Goal is Teached. liy United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—St. Edmund’s Episcopal church is going to build anew parish house with a mile of dimes, if it can get them.

Bull-Fighter By Science Serf ice COATESVILLE, Pa.. Dec. 11. -Ring-necked pheasant cocks are notoriously good fighters, routing domestic roosters and even cats, but the “fightin’est” one on record is in Pennsylvania, according to Norman Wood of Coatesville. Had Aesop heard the story, there would undoubtedly have been another fable called "The Pheasant and the Bull.” This particular pheasant was holding sway in a section of a field in which it is believed there was a brood of chicks. A bull, followed by his admiring retinue, entered the cock’s domain. The pheasant, resenting this intrusion, proceeded to prove his right to the title of “game” bird. Repeatedly he flew against the cattle which, overcome by surprise, gave ground until the herd, followed by the astonished bull, made a hurried though dignified retreat.
