DENVER, Colo., July 10 (TP)—
Followers of the Townsend old age
pension plan were told that their lead

to support Congressman Lemke’s third
party group in the coming presi

Dr. Townsend showed a favorable
disposition toward Lemke by conced
ing that they “could get along to
gether.” Townsend chose a Denver
radio interview to make his first trib
ute to Lemke union party plans.
Said he: “Roosevelt ’has rebuffed
us. Landon says ne cannot support
us. If Congressman Lemke will prom
ise to do what he can, we will hoid
our hands out to him.”
At the same time Townsend lashed
at all political parties as such, declar
ing the nation should abolish party
ism. The pension leader advocated a
constitutional amendment to elimi

money and 350 barrels of whisky on
board. Diver Jack Browne of Milwau

Platt bay.
The diver said he prowled over the
hulk in a hasty examination but saw
nothing of whiskey barrels or treas

“I was not unhappy,” said Miss

throughout the heat belt when ther
mometers crawled towards the 100-
degree mark. Judges doffed their
robes. Cops shed their coats. Beach
es -were jammed with heat sufferers
and practically any costume was
okayed. Shorts, which usually are
reserved for the tennis courts, made
their appearance on city streets. Ice
cream and beer ran ncek and neck
for sales records. Hydrants were
opened in the slum districts of heat
stricken cities as urchins yelped their
glee at the chilling spray that poured
forth.
At Philadelphia, four $50,000 elec
tric transformers exploded in the
heat, leaving the southwestern sec
tion of the city without power for
several hours. Thermometers placed
in the sun at Philadelphia touched
120 degrees and then burst. A vac
uum-sealed thermometer placed in
the blazing sun at New York reached
145 degrees.
There were many reports of bridge
plates expanding several inches in
the heat. In several instances, bridge
tenders were unable to lower draw
bridges after they had been raised,
until city firemen were called to hose
down the bridges and cool the spar,
so that it could be returned to serv
ice.
Almost every city in the heat zone
reported the usual incident of eggs
being fried on thep avement. Work
ers on WPA projects in many cities
were dismissed when the heat be
came unbearable. The heat prostra
tion and drowning death toll soared
higher by the hour. Tsousands were
treated for colapse brought on by the
heat and hundreds were rescued from
drowning by lifeguards at the crowd
ed beaches.
Heavy storms in Massachusetts,
centering on Worcester, did consider
able damage. Hail fell in parts of
New Jersey and ripped corn and oth
er standing crops to shreds. At Two
Rivers, Wisconsin, a crew of WPA
workers uncovered a long snowdrift,
buried under tons of earth. The
foreman on the job packai the snow
into a truck and took it into town,
where a snow-ball fight was staged
under temperatures close to 100 de
grees. At Yonkers, New York, a
crew of WPA men accidentally turn
ed steam heat on in a high school
building. Members of a summer
school class fled to the street, where
it was comparatively coo lat only 99
degrees.
Towns with unusual name* fur
nished their annual news tid-bits.
The hamlet of Hell, Michigan, which
froze over last winter ,is living up to
its name today. Frost, Minnestoa,
was anything but frosty. Devil’s
Lake, North Dakota, curiously enough
was one of the coolest places in the
heat belt, by virtue of a heavy
shower.
A night and day of intense heat in
lower New England were followed by
three consecutive electrical storms
that left a million dollars in damage
behind them today.
Rain and hail which was swept
over the countryside by a 60-mile an
hour gale, played havoc with power
lines, roofs and fruit orchards in New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. Worcester, Mass., was hit
hard. Damage ran about SIOO,OOO,
More than 50 communities were with
out electricity for hours. Three per
sons died in the storm: many more
were injured. The state polioe tele
type system was disrupted. Today
the weather forecast is fair and warm
er. The mercury started a climb at
daybreak, with a bright sun biking
out the storm swept towns.

ADVENTURES OF JOE AND SUE
By—
JOHN W. WESTON
PREPARATIONS FOR THE TRIP
JOE had just completed a garage
Jar his horseless charabanc. To over
haul the second hand car waa the
next important job, lubricate the
creaking Joints, tighten nuts and
quench its thirst.
A voice came from an upper win
dow:
“What yer doin’ down there so long,
JOE?”
“I’m an a picnic, my tummy’s
holdin’ up the car, and my legs is a
fillin’ station for mosquitoes.”
There was a tense moment of si
lenoe.
Then “JOE! JOE—JOE—!”
“But must I put yer fishin’ tackle
in the hat box?”
“I’ll say, sink them duds in, and
drop the pipe an* ’bacco with them
shirts, don’t bother me no more, I’m
all tangled up down here, this ole bus
is crippled muchly, worse than a
rheumatic mule.” .
A short spell of comfort—
“l’ll put some sandwiches an’ cocas
in yfr panama. How’s that fer eats,
grumpy?”
“Let me ’lone won’t yer? go tell it
to MoGlnty.” The Lias? which JOS
had traded in, rather needed a well
earned vacation end much requisite
repairs.
He was on his back beneath the
rusty machine, his faee dappled with
drippings, hie hands black with grit,
in a sulky mood he now slowly wrig
gled out sidewise, jacked up the car
then strode upetaim to inspect SUE’S
packing.
"Now get this, I’ve got my troubles
with that circus wagon, an ’I ain’t
jes sayin’ it. How’s you makin’ out?”
“Alrite! I put in yer spellin’ book
an* my dictionary you gave me for
Christmas.”
A little suggestion now came from
JOE
“Say Skipper, load in with that car
go some corn liquor and apple jack,
they’re good cronies when yer run
down an’ blue.
“Okay be me an’sponsin’we take
some needles from the medicine
chest? Hair tonic, castor oil an’ tal
cum—if we’re goin’ to meet the four
hundred they’ll sure help along: we
jes got to shake a leg an’ be in for
sum good time.”
“Sez you? well I’ll hafter go down
an’ fill up that oil can.”
“Ain’t you gettin’ mighty tired,
JOE?”
JOE hunched forward for a mo
ment, his elbows on his knees.
“Yu’re teliin’ me? a little more
don’t make no dlf’rence.”
‘TU fix yer a cup o’ tea.”
“If that don’t listen like a doctor,
I ain’t go no time fer argument.”
“Touchy ain’t yer?”
SUE swapped no naore gabble but
kept on with the preparations.
JOE went to the car and started
the engine. There was a succession
of screeches and clanking*, it back
fired, thundered, then stopped, only
a hissing sound remaining.
Again from the top window, out
bobbed SUE’S head to summon her
man.
The ex-kelser is said to be very
proud of his beard. And no wonder,
It’s his only achievement since he
bought a one-way ticket from Berlin
in 1918.

“JOE! JOE— JOE—!” no reply
came.
Looking down she notioed someth
ing stretched out beneath the cax e it
happened to be JOE.
Then came a yell that started the
weather—cooking spinning like a
dervish dancing, and she rushed down
to mack an examination of the fam
ily mainspring.
“JOE, is yer hurt much?”
‘Tm jes practisin’ to give JIM
JEFFRIES a real knock out.’*
Up he arose, there was more tink
ering, a few new bolts aided the crip
pled machine.
The next afternoon JOE packed
tools away in a battered box, and the
happy pair set on) in high glee on
their anticipated journey. ”
Driving through the. staggley vfl
lage, the flivver plugged along, jolt
ing over the grade crossing agpdnst
the warning of a locomotive’s whistle.
Tiny lights twinkled on the out
skirts of a town, the over-drived car
made a sudden stop as its radiator ex
pelled vapor.
A oountry hostelry stood by the
side of the road, and here they
roosted for the night.
