HUNT NEA Service Writer Washingtonfi, May 13. Dockrib bed New England, stronghold of Republican regularity for two gene rations, is giving Coolidge campaign leaders sleepless nights and days of worry. , For despite the fact that Cautious Cal is an embodiment of those staid virtues that should win the backing and the ballot of every loyal New Englander, Republican headquarters ; privately concedes an element of un certainty in the result in three of ithe six New' England states. i This is due to conditions in indus - trial New England—Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island— where the native New Englander has become submerged under the I Ude of immigration. In these states ,the foreign-born and the children of the foreign-born hold enough ballots to blast rock-ribbed Republicans to smithereens, i they make up their minds to do it. And reports from Republican scouts in the industrial centers of these states indicate that they may choose this year to touch off the dynamite. Hence the apprehension. « » » “Heretofore,” explains a Republi can national committeeman discus sing the chance that Coolidge and the Republican ticket may be knifed in the very section where, it is gen erally thought their hold would be most secure, “we have managed to hold the bulk of this foreign vote on our side. But there is tw 0 ques tion today but that it is slipping. “This defection is due to two di rect causes. Prohibition and restrict ed immigration. “That an unassimilated foreign population can thus overrule and en danger the voice and the ideals of native America is, of course, the best proof that immigration should be restricted. “If these three New England states should swing Democratic tin. fall, it will be nothing for Demo crats to boast about. It will simply be the result of the un-American votes of an un-Americanized electo rate. They will not vote Democratic because they believe in Democracy. They will simply vote against the Republicans as the party enforcing prohibition and immigration.” * * * This spokesman declares that the hope of America and —for tha purposes of this campaign—the Re publican party, is the middle west. There, alone, he maintains, is to be found the pure American stock maintaining fundamental American ideals. With Indiana, however, probably passed over to the Democrats as the result o f the convention of Governor McCray, a Republican; with Wiscon sin,- under LaFollette, ready to go wheresoever he leadeth (which will not be into the Coolidge camp), and with Illinois in the throes of an in trastate Republican battle that puts that state definitely in the doubtful class, little consolation is found even in the middle west. In fact, the Cleveland convention promises to be the most peaceful part of the program ahead of the G. O. P. * « * The American Association of Mu seum Managers have an • appoint ment for a call at the White House next we k. That they are going, in their offi cial capacities, to see President Col idge, does not mean that they ex pect to find in him a distinct or rare species, even though he may be that. But as president, Coolidge, is ex officio, chancellor of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institu tiqn, under which the National Mu seum and National Gallery of Art are administered. So he’s one of ’em. Angling associations in England stock their fishing waters yearly with baby trout, from four to ten, inches in length.

Statistics issued by the De partment of Commerce, show that 8,582 people were killed or injured at grade crossings in 1923. This rep resents an increase of nearly 20 per cent over the number killed or injured in 1922. It is true that the number of mo tor vehicles in use increased some what more than 20 per cent in 1,923, but increased volume of traf fic should be met with increased protection; it should not be accepted as a satisfactory excuse for the mounting death toll, the department pointed out. The policy of the Bureau of Pub lic Roads in effect for some years is to eliminate grade crossing on Federal-Aid roads wherever prac ticable. This policy has met with hearty co-operation from state high way departments and the public ‘n general. Many crossings have been eliminated by the construction of underpasses and overhead crossings and by relgulation of the highways so as to avoid crossing and recross ing tracks in particular cases as many as seven or eight crossings on a single road have been eliminated by the latter method. Safety campaigns and grade cross ing elimination have undoubtedly kept the number of accidents and deaths from reaching much more appalling figures, the report said, but it is apparent that a still great er effort must be made if the acci dent rate is to be reduced. BROOKS MELON MEN ARE SPRAYING PLANTS QUITMAN, May 13.—A survey of the principal melon farms in Brooks county reveals that most of them are preparing to spray mel ons against anthracnose, the dis ease which caused a loss of 50 per cent in the melon crop of 1923, C.

What’s the diff’rence what is floating through the space? Just as long as we are postive that something’s really there, let’s be satisfied to let it have its place. Since the tireless wireless doings have been part o f daily life, all the world has turned to gently tuning in. And we listen, scared of mis ein’ things of gladness or of strife and we share the tireless wireless with our kin. Mother, Aunt, and Sister Mary stay at home most every night. They are harking to an opera far away. Father, Uncle, Brother Har ry get the progress of a fight, and the tireless wireless works both night and day. Music comes and fills the house hold and there’s cheerfulness galore and it makes you kinda glad that you were born. Goodness knows what’s in the future and what won ders are in store when, today, they take the air sounds from a horn. Lots of cedit’s due the wriless that’s as tireless as can be, for it picks up sounds that far and wide are hurled. Reaching out and get ting something, when there’s noth ing we can see, it is just another wonder of the world.
