SMALL TALK By MRS. RENN DRUM VVE^ HAVE A NEW BABY AT OUR HOUSE. IN FACT I it s twins, and a lusty, noisy pair they are. They’re the new teletype machines, which will bring Associated Press news into the Star office, as food for the new-born daily, each morning, from 8 o’clock to 2 in the afternoon. net* Due were ed Saturday, my first remark was. ‘•I don't believe it!” And I still don’t. It's quite all right for people who take such things calmly to explain depreciatingly that “It's simply a typewriter operated by telegraphy." It's still nothing less than a miracle to me. While the machines were being installed we all stood over them and gazed down at them with ex actly the same sort of fond, rapt look with which one watches a new baby as it turns and squirms and yawns. It's been in all of three days now and still I stand fascinated as I watch it and every it the speed with which it dishes out copy. And I find I’m not the only person around here to whom it's a novelty, as a number of interested visitors have joined us on various occa sions as we stood admiring It. Afterthought: The new twins must be girls. Proof? There’s the fact that they appear- to know everything and they don’t give a fellow a chance to talk bock. The funniest thing about the stories concerning the English king’s friendship for Mrs. “Wally” Simpson is that they all stress the fact that the king’s name will pos itively “not be mentioned” in con nection with the case. A BUS HAS JUST PASSED MY window, setting me off on the train of thought as to what a grand asset to a company is the gift of simple kindness among its em ployees. Many companies stress courtesy on the part of those who work for them but I have often seen people be courteous with be ing kind. There’s really a lot of difference between the two. I’ve had people lavish all the “yes ma'ms” and “thank yous” I could use on me, without ever once letting a note of friendliness creep Into their voices, and such courtesy leaves me feeling cold and wretch ed. and practically hungry. Everytime I take off from Shel by on a bus trip I'm warmed by the friendly manner of Mr. and Mrs. Turner, who manage the local sta tion with kindness as well as cour tesy. And on a trip to Eastern Car olina recently I found the same sort of agent in the- town at the other end of the line, who con vinced me he was as interested in my ticket difficulties as if he had recognized me as the manager of the company, in disguise. Riding the first of two crowded buses, making the same run Sun day night, I watched the driver stop repeatedly for roadside would be passengers, whom he couldn’t accommodate, and not once did he mumble “Have to catch the next section” or merely alow his bus down. Each time he came to a complete stop to explain that another section would be by in a few minutes which could take them on. Each time the kindness in his vcice gave my heart a nice little lift and I knew it must be doing even more than that for those tired looking waiters-beside-the-road. Of course I’m willing to admit that I’ve met up with a number of bus drivers and some agents whose necks I longed to wring. Since I couldn’t do that, I’ve always taken it out in bitter railing against them and their ilk. As I’m always letting the world know about the people and things I don’t like, it seems only fair to get going occasionally on the peo ple and things I do like, and so, as long as I continue to find bus agents and drivers who have a gift for being pleasant as well as polite I’ll continue to ride the buses—on my annual thirty-mile jaunt. Seaman’s Union Is Protesting Action SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—(JP) —The Maritime unions, threaten ing a strike of their 37,000 members at midnight tomorrow night, and the shippers both protested today the sudden adjournment of a fed eral hearing, Hope that the newly created U. S. Maritime commission might avert a coastwide tieup waned when Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, com mittee representative, suddenly ad journed the hearing shortly after It opened yesterday. He announced it would not be resumed until Thursday—after the strike deadline set by the unions. Both shippers and unions pro tested to the Maritime Commis sion in Washington. HEIRESS AND BOXER HUSBAND IN ASHEVILLE ASHEVILLE, Oct. 28.—<AV-Mr. and Mrs. Enzo Ihermcnte of New York City are vacationing here. Mrs. Fiermonte is the former Mrs John Jacob Astor, whose first hus band died in the sinking of the Titantic in 1912. Fiermonte came to this country from Italy as a boxer. Grinning Ghost Of Vance Millar Looks For Babes By DALE HARRISON TORONTO. Ont.—The pinning ghost of Charles Vance Millar, 10 years dead, walks these nights, looking for babies. On the doorstep of that Toronto mother who has borne the most youngsters In 10 years he will drop a $750,000 fortune—in cash. Midnight, October 31, is the final hour. From that time on, the books are closed on the Millar will’s "kid dies clause.” Even a basket full of i sextuplets wouldn’t count after | that. It doesn't make any difference to the ghost of Charles Millar who the mother be, or what her race, color or creed. He doesn’t even demand that she be married. It’s the re- ( naissa^ic of the crowded cradle he's after. II the babies were born and j died, that’s all right, too. They count even if they were born dead. What Millar, writing in his "un common and capricious” will back in 1921, apparently sought to re- | medy was what he regarded as a ; trend away from the bassinet. All the ghost of Charles Vance Millar wants to know is the name and addres of that mother who, between October 31, 1926, and mid night this October 31, has (1) borne the most children in the city of Toronto, and (2) registered them > according to law. It has been a busy and fatiguing decade for Toronto storks ever1 since Mrs. James Roberts took a j commanding lead shortly after | Millar’s death by presenting her husband with bouncing twins. Mrs. Roberts’ early burst of speed, to what other mothers were to ac complish; and by the time the der by however, was only a flash in the pan started dowh th% home stretch early this year there were many new names at the top. Now, with the deadline -nearing rapidly, they come down the straight away for what may turn out to be a photo-finish. Out In front Is the sometimes lo quacious Mrs.Mathew Kenny claim ing an even dozen eligible offspring, and indicating that If the race could only have been extended an- J other few weeks she could report a 13th. Bunched in second place—but with excellent chances of winning because of doubts whether Mrs. Kenny can prove as many births as she claims—are three mothers, each claiming 10 qualified babies. Another mother, Mrs. Grace Bag nato, was expecting a 10th bambino any time now. The other “mothers of ten” are: Mrs. John Nagle, Mrs. Arthur Tim- j leek and Mrs. Pauline Clarke—the “Madame X” who flashed from nowhere to Join the leaders early this fall. Mrs. Clarke, who is an at tractive young woman of 24, sep arated from her husband after five children were born. Since then she has registered five additional youngsters. Teachers Strike To Be Arbitrated BRADENTON, FLA., Oct. 28.—(IP) —Manatee county teachers watched today for thq result of an arbitra tion movement before carrying out their threat of a strike over wages. They decided last night to pre sent their demands to a citizens' committee sponsored by the Ameri can Legion post here. The decision came on the dead line originally set for “forcible ac tion” if the county school board failed to promise full salary pay ments during the rest of the term. No talk of a walkout was heard after Dave Kelbert, Legion post commander, offered the arbitration plan. Alaska Travel Gaining JUNEAU, Alaska.— (IP) —A sharp gain in tourist travel to Alaska is shown in the report of James J. Connors, collector of customs. In the first eight months of 1936 vis itors numbered 31,606. Look Out Foxes ROCKY MOUNT, Oct. 28.—(IP)— About 200 dogs were expected to- j day to take part in the annual field trials of the North Carolina j Fox Hunters association here No- i vember 16 to 20. > Sable for Evening Crepe roma in a delicate shade of rose combines with sable to make a gown of regal lines for Dolores Costello Barrymore, film player. A short coat of the same fabric is lavishly bordered in sable, so that the fur trim ming of the gown blends into that of the jacket with interest ing effect. Great Increase In War Planes Is French Plan PARIS, Oct. 28.—(JP)—Immediate strengthening of Prance’s military aviation forces to keep pace with armament races of other European nations was approved today by Premier Leon Blum’s cabinet. Official sanction of Air Minis ter Pierre Cot’s program to modem 'ze the French air froce and to in crease the number cf ships was granted as the first business of a ministerial session. The program called for expendi ture vt ftooo,oop,ooo tnmtsir renr rently $230,000,000.) The cabinet also was to consider a mass of legislation in preparation for the return of parliament. Candidates Will Hear Returns At Their Firesides CHICAGO, Oct. 28—</P)—The na tion’s six presidential candidates will quietly cast their ballots a week from today and retire to the priv acy of their firesides to await the will of the voters. While the No. 1 men of each party spend the zero hour in com parative seclusion with family and friends, their campaign managers and champions will be at desk and telephone, testing the political winds for the first sign of victory. President Roosevelt, under ten tative arrangements, will make a flying visit to the Democratic na tional headquarters in New York and then withdraw to his estate at Hyde Park. Governor Alf M, Landon, his Re publican opponent, will cast his vote In Independence, Kan,. and then return to the yellow brick exe cutive mansion at Topeka to learn the answer of the electorate. Surrounded by members of his family, Congressman William Lemke, the Union party presiden tial candidate, will spend election night in his home at Fargo, N. D., Socialist headquarters in New York reported Norman Thomas will be at home and possibly “around Greenwich Village.’' Both Dr. D. Leigh Colvin, Pro hibitionist, and Earl Browder, Com munist, wjll seek home and hearth to listen to the returns, their head quarters declared. Temperature drops four degrees for every 1.000 feet of altitude in the island of Hawaii. Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial Irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Even if other remedies have failed, don’t be discouraged, your druggist Is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.) ELECTORAL VOTE | HASN’T A TEAM, j BUT IS FAMOUS Electors Really Do Electing Of The President By CHARLES NORMAN NEW YORK.—(>»’)—The college of electors doesn't have a football team, but Its a famous Institution. That's because when the sover eign people of the United States go to the polls to elect a president, they only elect the electors who elect the president. The electors, themselves can’t do anything about, it until they’ve been notified of their election by the secretary of state of their respective states. It’s all very complicated, partic ularly article XII of the constitu tion which provided this method of choosing the chief executive, but it works out pretty smooth, and a good time is had by all, particular ly the electors. As fdr the sovereign people, practically everybody In the United States will know the night of November 3 who has been elect ed. although It won't be official un-1 Ml the college of electors says so. And It won’t "talk" until the first | Monday after the second Wednes-j day in December. Textbooks, guidebooks, the consti-! tut ton Itself failed to make the functions of an elector clear; It was therefore necessary to track one down. This has been done. The result makes It plain that the life of an elector Is not an unhappy one. Honored above his fellow party members. he is notified by the state committee that he has been appointed an elector. He thereupon becomes a member of perhaps the most exclusive college enrollment In the country, if not the world. The college of electors consists of S31 men and women, or equal the num ber of senators and representative*. In some states the electors' name go on the ballot. Comes election day. When the votes have been tabulated, the sec retary of atate of his state notifies the elector of his election a second communication tells him what to do about It. He can hardly watt, but watt he does, for the forms must be observed. On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December he soys good-bye to kith and kin. He takes a train to the state capital. He meets his fellow electors, strikes up friendships. All pose for pictures. There is a luncheon, en masse. The I governor may receive them as hnn- , men guests. The amenities observed, the elec- 1 tors hold an organisation meeting, choose a chairman and are called 1 io order. Earn collector U given ai ballot. Now comes the most momentous moment In the career of an elector. One of them puts the president In i nomination. As each man casts his i vote he signs the rolls. (Sometimes engraved ballots are kept as sou venirs). Onoe more there is a nomination —for the vice president. Again the electors cast their ballots and sign the roll. Thereupon all receive checks for their expenses from the secretary of state. They sake hands all! around and "drop In to see me some, time” is heard, or perhap*—'Tm catching the 4 18; can you make it?” The rest of the Job devolves upon ! the secretary of state who sends, the certified ballots to the secre tary of state at Washington for! transmission to the two houses of congress In their Joint session.1 There the ballots are tabulated by i states. But while the elector's Job Is over ■ after he has voted, his fun may! continue. In 1933, all the electors In I the union were Invited to attend I he Inaugural rnnMWM tt Wto apltal as special guest* ot honor, he first time in the nation1* hla ory thU has happcne<lIg5ouV¥nlr *x>k* were handed each, "Their de ighted posterity no rnnibt will show hese and exclaim: "Sure my lather was a coUMa man He went to th« eollega 'of rlectors." ’ '> t No Trace Found Of 3 Convicts CARTHAGE, Oct. aa._</P)—Offi cer* reported today that no traca had been found of tinea honor grade convicts who escaped from the prison camp here Sunday night. The fugitives are Marion Brad ley, serving a term for second de gree murder; Percy Newsom, aerv ing a term for larceny with fire arms and storebrealting, and Mel vin Mints, sent up for automobile theft. After walking away from tiha camp, the prisoner* hid near the home of Dr. R. L. fblton. the reei dent prison physician, held him up as he drove home, and took hla car. In which they escaped. Before driving away they cut the telephone wires to the physi cian's house.
