EVEN MEN ENJOY CHANCES TO SEE PERFECT BABIES
So anxious are Richmond mothers to have their babies examined and scored for the Better Baby contest that the hard rain this morning did not prevent a single contestant from arriving at the Social Service Bureau rooms on or before the scheduled time. Mothers seem to be not so enthusiastic over the prospect of winning prizes as they are over the chance to have their babies given a thorough examination. Wants the Examination. One mother told Miss Mahin yesterday that she had no hopes whatever of her child winning a prize since it had been sick most of the summer.
"I brought the child so that it might have the advantage of the ex
amination and so that I might be advised as to the best methods of bringing my babe back to perfect health," the mother said. This Is the fourth day of examinations. During all this time, only two babie3 who were registered have failed to appear for examination. These it has been learned were not brought because they were sick. The number of visitors at the contest is dally increasing. All praise the methods used in conducting the competition and agree that it Is a fine thing for the town. Stecn Is a Visitor. Sheriff Stcen is one of the frequent visitors at the contest. Alfred Bavis has been there and it Is reported that Mayor Robbins investigated the conteat a few days ago. South Side Improvement association men have been strong for the contest all the time. Hans Koll started the ball rolling the other day when he was at the court house in the interest of the South Side Bridge by visiting the scene of the competition. Trobably one of the most enthusiastic rooters for the contest is the elevator man, Al Brown.
BABIES
ENTER
COUNTY TEST
Twenty-eight babies from all parts of the county have been registered for the Wayne County Perfect Baby contest. These registrations have resulted from the publicity which has been given the contest exclusively through thp columns of the Palladium. Whfn a month ago the plan of a county contest was suggested to Miss Mary Kennedy, county visiting nurse by the Palladium she accepted it immediately as a fine idea. After consulting with her committee she was authorized to take registrations. Since that time much interest has been created in the affair and during the l?.st few days, every mall brings several registration. Registrations will not close until the last of September. Members of the
ayne County Medical society will
examine the entrants.
LawaU jewelry store has offered a gold ring for the winner and Horlick's Malted Milk company donated a large
iizeu jnr or its baby food to serve as
one of the prizes. Kskay's food company has also of
t'ned a dozen large 'sized bottles of
I's baby food.
MRS. SMITH DIES AT SALEM, OREGON
News of the sudden death of Mrs. C. B. Smith, 32, formerly of this city, at Selam, Oregon,' has been received by her mother, Mrs. C. S. Larsb, of Dublin. The word came by telegram and merely stated that Mrs. Smith had died in the hospital. It 4s believed by her relatives that she may have been injured in an accident, as she was quite well a short time ago, and had written a letter to her mother only last week. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Smith were former residents of Richmond and moved to Oregon about six years ago. While a resident of this city, Mr. Smith was connected with the Indiana Loan company. Mrs. Smith is survived by her husband, one son, her mother and two sisters. The body will be brought to Dublin on- Monday and the funeral will be held from the residence of Mrs. Larsh on Tuesday afternoon.
EAT CANNED GOODS, DURING NEXT WINTER DEGREE OF GROCERS
SUGAR PRICES FALL ON MART
"People will have to buy canned fruit or do without this winter," said a local grocer, commenting on the scarcity and high price of various fruits and vegetables. "This will restrict the usual home canning. Plums,
which normally sell for $2 a bushel, are now selling at more than $3. Peaches, of the best quality, which usually sell for about $2 a bushel, are now bringing .$3.50. "This advance in price is caused,
of course, by the shortness of the crop. Even if people are willing to pay the increased price, they can obtain only a small per cent. .of the amount which they usually buy for home canning." Tomatoes, which have been quoted at $125 a bushel, have dropped to $1. Richmond is fortunate, said a dealer, in being able to obtain any tomatoes whatever. In some localities the crop is a complete failure. Potatoes have fallen from $6 to $5.75 a barrel on wholesale quotations. This change has not made any difference in retail prices. It is probable, however, that there will be a marked decrease in the price of potatoes soon.
WILSON LEAVES FORJIS HOME WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. President Wilson left Washington at one o'clock this afternoon for Atlantic City and Shadow Lawn probably not to return here until after the Navember election. Accompanying' him were Mrs. Wilson, Secretary Tumulty, and Dr. Grayson, the president's physician, and his staff of . stenographers. The party will arrive in Atlantic City at 5:45 this afternoon, and in the evening the president will address the National Women's Suffrage Association.
Following a break In the wholesale sugar market yesterday, sugar fell from $2.00 to $1.88 a 25-pound sack in the local retail market today. Sugar had been quoted by wholesale dealers at $7.40 a hundred pounds on. Wednesday, but went to $6.65 a hundred pounds yesterday, a drop on Wednesday, a drop of three-quarters of a cent a pound. The retail market followed it today with a drop of slightly less than half a cent a pound. r Dealers cannot predict how soon the price will change again. The drop in sugar came as a result of speculation in the wholesale market, and it is expected that the prices may go up again within a few days. A slight decrease in retail prices may follow within a few days if the wholesale market remains firm, as the retail price has not yet been entirely adjusted to the fall in wholesale quotations.

"We lived happily together for a number of years and then there was a disagreement and we were separated." This story was told in practically the same words by interested persons in the three divorce cases tried in the circuit court today. Mary J. Moore was granted a divorce from John F. Moore. They were married in 1884 and lived together until 1901. Martin E. Brokamp was granted a divorce from Cora Velio Brokamp.
They were married in 1SS2 and the wife deserted the husband in 1912. Cruel and Inhuman treatment was the charge on which Moses Harris was granted a divorce from Elizabeth M. Harris. They were married in 1895 and lived together until April, 1915. Mr. Harris asks the custody of the children, Stella G., age 15, and Roy W., age 12.
Alexander S. Purdy, the new head of the biblical department of Earlham college, arrived in Richmond today. He will live at 620 Southwest A street. Dr. Purdy takes the position left vacant by the resignation of Elbert Russell two years ago. During last year, Dr. W. O. Mendenhall, head of the department of mathematics, .also acted as head of the biblical department. Dr. Purdy will preach at the West Richmond Friends church next Sunday morning.
ANSCOMBE DECIDES ON CHURCH FESTIVAL
Final decision on the question of whether the South Eighth Street Friends' meeting will observe October 8 as centennial Sunday will be made by Rev. Francis Anscombe, pastor of the church. The committee appointed to consider the matter, at a meeting last night, referred to Rev. Mr. Anscombe for a decision, although they themselves favor a centennial celebration, as is being urged in all of the
Friends churches of the state.
HUGHES CLAIMS TO BE FRIENDLY WITH LABORERS
LEWISTON, Me., Sept. 8. Speaking in Lewiston, the Spindle city, and also termed the industrial heart of Maine,
Charles Evans Hughes, Republican 1 presidential nominee, dwelt deeply oni
the labor question. "There is no difference what I do or who I am, as I look into the future I see no interest that needs more careful attention and more sedulous conservation." The candidate declared that the dignity of labor must be recognized, and the conditions of labor must be just and wholesome. "If anybody rises in this country to say that I am not a friend of labor he is not telling the truth," said Hughes. The speaker again attacked the methods in which President Wilson averted Xft railroad strike.
TOM JONES CONFERS WITH CHURCH LEADERS
Tom Jones, last' year a member of the Biblical department of the faculty of " Earlham College, was In Richmond yesterday visiting friends and conferring with church officials. He left this morning for New York. He will study in Columbia university

The consecration service last night at the Greensfork tabernacle revival
meeting was in every way a success. In spite of the rain a.n appearances of storm the building was well filled. At the close of the sermon an invitation was given to all Christian people publicly to consecrate themselves to more active service, and scores crowded down the aisles to grasps the evangelist by the hand as a pledge of support. Eleven dollars and seventy-five cents was put into the collection pans
on women s offering night. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton preached on ; "What's Happening in your Garden?"' and Mr. Brock, the revival chorister, sang a song of his own composition, entitled "You Must Unload." The song! was written to accompany the sermon! and every verse was calculated to i strike at the common faults and sins of the day. It is set to a catchy air j and the chorus was repeatedly sung by the choir and finally by the entire audience as a climax to the song by! request of the evangelist. j
The interest in the boys' and girls' Bible drill class is growing. A demonstration of the work will be given publicly early next week. There will be another mass meeting for boys and girls at the tabernacle Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton's talk will be Illustrated with flags and vases.

Mrs. Hamilton will speak to women and girls at the same hour at the Christian church.
PREACHES ON EDUCATION
Opening of the public schools on Monday will suggest the subject for the sermon on Sunday morning, when the Rev. U. S. A. Bridge will speak at Grace Methodist church on "Investment of Education." In the evening the Rev. Mr. Bridge, who has returned from his vacation will complete his sermon series on "Seven Modern Winders of the World."

Because the directors of the Commercial club will be busy all this month with making plans for the Fall festival and in assisting with the Industrial Development- campaign, no program meeting of the Commercial club will be held during September. The first of these monthly meetings this season will probably be held during October, E. M. Haas announced today. .

BLOOM INGTON, Ind., Sept. 8. The people of Bloomington have set at rest the theory of the wet element that the student vote of Indiana university has kept the city dry in the past. Full returns today from yesterday's local option election show that the dry majority was 388, the largest given in
the four elections held. The College: Hill dry vote fell off because of the:

MRS. MORGAN ASKS DECREE
Divorce charges were brought against Katherine Morgan by her husband, Tross Morgan in the circuit court today.
Wromen returning from the seaside with browned, reddened or freckled complexions will be wise in immediately taking up the mercolized wax treatment. , Weather-beaten skin had best come off, for no amount of "beautifying" will ever make such skin pretty to look at. The surest, safest, easiest way to shed the despoiled cuticle is with the treatment suggested. Put the wax on before retiring, as you would cold cream, and rinse it off next moring with warm
water. Minute particles of scarf skin will peel off day by day, gradually showing the healthy, youthful skin beneath. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is enough to make any discolored or ' spotted complexion clear, white ami satiny soft. Its action is so gentle no harm is caused and the- face shows no trace of its use. Burning heat,irritating winds and dirt are such wrinkle-makers that the daily use of the following astringenttonic lotion at this season is highly advisable: Powdered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in witch hazel, onehalf pint. Used as a face bath this is a splendid wrinkle remover and preventive. Adv.
