ADVANCE GUARD
OF REPUBLICANS
MOVE INTO CAMP
CAMPAIQJC MANAGER FOR
LANDON HOPEFUL OF
VICTORY
CLEVELAND, June 2 (TP).—The
advance guard of the grand old par
ty is marching Into Cleveland today.
First to arrive was the National
oommittee. Headquarters promptly
began to click and hum with prepara
tions for the national convention. It
opens one week from tonight. Smil
ing John Hamilton, the campaign
manager for Governor Alfred Lan
don of Kansas, also arrived early at
the G. O. P.’s convention city. He
promptly came out with his expect
ed statement. Said he —'Who is
there to beat Landon?” He didn’t
answer his own question and gave
every indication that he thought
the question was rhetorical, anyway.
An army of workmen is hammer
ing and pounding in the great public
hall. Radio officials are wiring up
for their microphones. There will be
a battery of mikes on the speaker’s
rostrum and one mike for every state
delegation so remarks from the floor
can be amplified. There will be just
2.700 assistant sergeants-at-arms.
Every one will have a shiny badge on
his lapel—but he won’t have any spe
cial place to ait. One or two of them
showed up today and took a trial
hike up and down the aisles just for
the fun.

HARRISON’S OWN COUNTY
TURNS AGAINST HIM
GULFPORT, Miss., June 2 (TP).—
U. S. Senator Pat Harrison’s political
power took a stunning blow today as
his own county turned against him in
the selection of delegates to the state
Democratic convention.
The Harrison county executive
committee voted against the sena
tor’s selection by a three to one ma
jority . It went one step further by
naming former Lieut. Gov. Bidwell
Adams as county chairman. Politi
cal experts declared the selection of
Adams was a vital blow to the New
Deal leader’s power in Mississippi.
Senator Harrison refused only a
short time ago to recommend Adams
for a recently vacated judgeship.
SUMMER
GOOD TIME
FOR MUSIC
CHILD HAS TIME FOR
PRACTICE DURING HIS
VACATION
By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Head Department Parent Education
Cleveland College, Western
Reserve University.
WE HAVE curious ways of edu
cating children. We overcrowd them
with music and other outside lessons
during the school years, and then
stop all these extra lessons when the
school term ends. Fcr children who
go to camp or leave home for the
summer with their parents, discon
tinuance of these lessons is necessary.
But the average child remains at
home nearly all summer. During his
school year music lessons, for ex
ample, may have proved an added
strain too great for his physical or
mental health; for some children this
is certainly true. But during the long
days and weeks of summer at home,
time may hang heavily on the child’s
hands. After a few weeks of vacation,
why is this not the best time for him
to take Instrumental music lessons,
especially if he studies piano? Some
children, Indeed, should take music
lessons only during summer.
Os course, if you leave it to the
average child, he will rule against
you with the attitude. “Ah, this is
vacation.’’ Does he have adequate
1 experience to arrive at such judg
ments soundly?
Begs to Give Up
Ever so many mothers write me

months, beg leave to end and give it
SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1936
up. Many report that children who
make rapid progress at music will
lose interest because of the drudgery
of practice. Some parents will make
great sacrifice to buy the child an
instrument, and then let him aban
don it before he has had sufficient
training with it to make the few
early and hard hurdles.
No matter how capable the child
or skillful his teacher, his desire to
escape the hardship of practice in
cident to it during the first few years
is to be expected. That’s the critical
period. See that he keeps at it with
short but regular practice periods,
without fail. For most, there must
be some early handships to win the
joys of victory later. Once you are
sure of the child’s health and a rea
sonable program for his music train
ing, see that he sticks to it about as
If you thought his very life depended
on it, for two or three years at least.
FRENCH STRIKERS"
END LONG SEIGE
PARIS, June 2 (TP)—The seige
strikes in big French industrial works
ended today. Normal production was
resumed in such plants as Renault
Motors and the Citroen, Neluport and
Farnam Works.
At the height of the sit-down strike
last week, more than 60,000 workers
stood idle by their machines. The
peaceful demonstration was made to
obtain better pay and hours. A boom
business in many armament firms
was tied up by the workers seige.
Officials said only 5,000 strikers in
a dozen minor factories are still hold
ing out against their employers. How
ever, their seige movement has spread
from the industrial world to other
trades. Waiters, cooks, and gigolos in
hotels and fashionable nightclubs
■ have refused to serve, bake and dance
, while they stay idle at their posts.

PYROMANIAC HUNT
NEW YORK, June 3 (TP)—Police
fear that the arrest and indictment
of Manuel Fomier has not competely
solved the mystery of an epidemic of
incendiary Bronx fires.
Fomier was arrested when he ran
from the hallway of a Bronx apart
men house, leaving a burning mat
tress behind him. The Bronx County
grand jury promptly indicted him on
arson charges.
Authorities said that while they
were convinced Fomier was an al
coholic pyromaniae, it was doubtful
that he set the score, of Bronx fires
which have kept police and firemen
busy Saturdays and Sundays during
the past several weeks. Search for the
derangsi •fline-bu# held responsible
for those fires is still under way.

LAWYERS APPEAL
PRISON SENTENCE
WYTHEVILLE, Va„ June 2 (TP)
Another step in the battle to save
21-year-old Edith Maxwell from a 20-
year prison sentence will be taken to
day before the Virginia supreme court
of appeals.
The young school teacher drew the
lengthy sentence when she was con
victed of charges of fatally injuring
her father, Trigg Maxwell, during a
scuffle at their mountain home. The
girl admits she struck her father with
the heel of a slipper when he flew
into a rage at her late return from an
auto ride.
Def'n e attorneys will base their
appeal on three points—first, that
the father died of causes other than
the blow from the slipper; second,
that Edith struck in slef-defense as
her father brandished a carving knife,
and, third, that the 20-year sentence
was excessive ana the result of moun
taineer prejudice.
