BRIEF REST ON ~ RANCH IN WEST

Kansan to Leave Stage to Democrats During Convention.

By United Press TOPEKA, Kas, June 18—Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, will leave the national stage to the Democrats next week while they are in convention at Philadelphia to nominate Presi-

dent Roosevelt, he indicated today. |

While the Republicans were nomiinating Mr. Landon at Cleveland, President Roosevelt got a share of the headlines and radio time with a series of addresses on a trip to the Southwest, but Mr. Landon plans to retire to a Colorado ranch and rest while the Democrats are meeting. Mr. Landon said that he and his family will leave Wednesday night for the 1200-acre McGraw ranch in the Rocky Mountains, five miles from the village of Estes Park.

Will Fish and Ride

Mr. Landon will fish and ride while at the ranch, he said, and will be in communication with his advisers and aids only on the most important decisions. He will return to Topeka July 6 and complete his message to the State Legislature, which wil] meet in special session to enact social security iegislation. Gov. Landon said there not only would be no speeches during his vacation but that also there will be no back platform addresses. . ‘““This will be a vacation,” he said. He made no comment to reports that Colorado Republicans plan a great turnout for him at Denver wheén he arrives there Thursday. Plans are to drive immediately to the ranch.

Promises Busy Campaign

Reports that Col. Frank Knox, dr. Landon’s running mate, would bear the brunt of the barnstorming and handshaking in the campaign, while Mr. Landon made few formal speeches, were denied by the Governor. “I'll do my full share,” he said. John Landon, his father, is the only immediate member of the family who will not accompany the candidate to Colorado, He may go later, however. Mrs. Landon, her mother, Mrs. Samuel Cobb; the two Landon youngsters, Nancy Jo and John Cobb Landon, and the Governor's co-ed daughter, Peggy Anne, will be in the party. They will remain at

Every one would be polite but no one would believe the story. She might have been driving for two hours or 20 minutes—she didn’t know—when she came down Park Avenue on the east side of the green carpet of grass that runs through the center of the street. It was dark now, quite dark.

AYBE her father would put private detectives on her trail. He might be afraid that something would happen to her. If there was a chance that detectives would recognize her car she must dispose of it. She pulled in at the next garage and left it. She hailed a cruising taxicab. : “Drive,” she commanded the cab driver. “Where, lady?” “You think of a place.” “Okay bys me.” A long time later the driver spoke again. “Gosh, lady, you're running up a whale of a meter. Don’t you want to go some place?” “No place.. Just drive.” “But you aren’t getting anywhere,” he muttered, and sped on again. “Central Park, isn’t it?” She glanced from the window. “We've been through it seven times.” “Make it eight.” She had driven here with Bob, skated on the lake with him, bicycled in: the spring when the debutantes had been gay with wheels and hoops and roller skates. She had taken a ride with him in a painted boat, on the little lake where the sailors took their girls when the boats came in. She must stop being a sentimental idiot! She

“In a series of laboratory experiments I tested eleven leading soaps. From these tests, I found that Silver Dust not only is an excellent soap for general laundry and dishwashing, but is perfectly safe for fine laundry, too. We made more than 2,000 washings in these tests and on every count Silver Dust proved itself a soap of exceptional quality.” 3
