They awarded, first fclace to Miss Millspaugh, and second place Miss Drew. • When asked the inevitable questions about her life and habits, Miss Millspaugh said: "I eat all kinds of food we have on the farm and I get lots of work, play and sleep. I love to milk cows, pitch hay, ride h<?rs>es, and play baseball and basketball." If she is also a devotee of bridge, dancing, late parties and petting, she didn't say so.

Sinclair's Victory * regular Democrats, one of #hom -was the party's nominee for governor in 1930. . ° Upton Sinclair has been .an indefatigable worker for the cause of Socialism for more than thirty years, having been the Socialist candidate for Congress in New Jersey as far back as 1906. "He was also the Socialist party's candidate for Congress from California in 1920, for, the United States Senate in 1922,. and for governor in 1926. He is the founder of the Inter-collegiate Socialist Society, which has been actively devoted to the spread of Socialism in Amtericsart colleges and universities, and wherever else it might disseminate its doctrines. How President Roosevelt views the nomination Of Sinclair by the Democrats has not been disclosed as this is written, but the situation which it has created is most interesting, and will burnish the -subject of much speculation daring the remainder of the campaign.. ' - Sinclair will be opposed in the November election by the present Replaces, who are promoting the tendency toward the government's ownership and operation of everything." He added that this whole movement weakens self-reliance, discourages private initiative and diminishes op portunity. Striking specifically at government Competition with , private industry, Dr. Millikan said;, /,' "I regard the man who urges the extension of the powers of the state into the operative fields, which private" industry can and will handle equally well or better, as the enemy of free government--the most pernicious influence in American life today."- •; - . Dr. Millikan possesses one of the keenest minds in the world,' as well as the courage to express his • convictions. In this period of uncertainty and unrest such wise counsel a8 his should be welcomed and heeded. .

The opportunity to see these most famous babies in the world in pictures will no doubt be embraced by niillions of people. They are now more than three months old, and are the first quintuplets on record who ever lived more than a few hours. That all five are still alive f^nd well is txn amazing fact. , • In the news feel mentioned the five baby girls--Yvonne, Annette, Marie, Cecile and Emilie--are seen being taken from their incubators, washed ; Perhaps the most unexpected . development in the political campaign of 1934, so far, is the nomination of "Upton Sinclair, veteran Socialist leader, as the Democratic candidate • for governor of California.

CHICKEN DINNER--Saturday Nite 25c v ORCHESTRA SATURDAY NIGHT It may be surprising to many, as it wa9 to Us, to learn that around a' million pairs of wooden shoes are manufactured and worn in the United States every year, but such is the case, according to the Department-of Commerce. Ten factories in eight states specialize in the manufacture of wooden footwear, which ranges from sandals for women and children to heavy work shoes for men. Soles from half an inch thick to. three inches in thickness are used for the heavy work shoes. - " Prices of wooden shoes range from $1 to $3 a pair, while * high boots with wooden soles bring $6. They are in demand by workers in damp fields in certain parts of the country, and by those in factories who must stand on wet concrete floors. The movies and the stage also use some of this product. Wooden shoe factories are located in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Florida. They keep stocks on hand for immediate delivery, just as makers of leather shoes do, but those used on the stage are usually made to. special ordfr. Marne Anniversary « / • Twenty years ago, from September 6 to 10, 1914, the momentous First Battle of the Marne was fought, the victory of the French and British under General JofTre saving Paris front capture by the Germans, and probably deciding the war in its first great battle. Prior to the beginning of this historic five (Vys' struggle tHe Germans had advanced through Belgium and northern France and were within a few miles of Paris. Joffre had gradually retired in the face of the superior German force until his reserves could be mobilized sufficiently to enable "him to take the offensive. Having maneuvered his armies into positions which seemed to make an offensive drive likely to Succeed, Joffre attacked the Germans at dawn on Sunday, September 6. After five days of the most desperate fighting, during which Joffre displayed daring and masterly strategy, the Germans were in full retreat toward previously prepared positions. Paris had been saved. In this great battle it is estimated j that 900,000 Germans and 1,000,000 , Allies were engaged on a battlefront ; 120 miles long. Nearly four years later much of the f ame territory was to be the scene of the Second Battle of the Marne, in which, with Marshal Foch in supreme command of the Allied armies, Germany's last hope of winning th,e war was definitely blasted. Johnsburg Bridge 3 Miles North of McHenry FRY EVERY FRIDAY HITS* 1 ' Lights or Newark by L. L STEVENSON * Fishing is far from being sport fog the men of the bean) trawlers that operate Jn the vicinity of New Yoifc. Some of the stout craft that tow the freat nets--a beam keeps thejji open; hence the name--have power-operated equipment, which lightens the labors' Of the fishermen somewhat. But on many, the only power is that of human nuiscles. Once every hour the net Is pulled aboard, a long and tollgome Job and one requiring skill', since there Is the possibility ' of losing a portion, If not all, of the* catch. As'the net rises, it is clamped shut carefully and as aiueh rubbish as possible scraped off. Finally, when it has risen Its length above the deck, with cascades of salt water pouring over the fishermen, a string* is pulled and the catch pours out. Not until then do the fishermen know what luck they have bad. 1 As quickly as possible, the Bet goes back into the ocean and the boat steals ahead another hour. - The crew does not loaf, however. The catch has to be sorted. Varied is the take from the sea. There are evil-looking skates and blowflsh, along with other "trash." There are green turtles, which eventually will make soup along Broadway. In fact, thQre are all sorts of marine life. Much of it is worthless and goes back overboard along with the rubbish scraped' up by the net. The marketable fish are then cleaned and placed on icfc When that is done, it it time to haul In the net again, And so it goes hour after hour, . i . ' : ' ... •-r- Beam trawlers are/ accustomed to finding many strange things in their nets. In the days of prohibition, bottles were often fcart of the catch. Sometimes trinkets of various kinds are salvaged from the sea. But the crew of a trawler operating off the Rockaways recently had a real surprise. The net came in slowly and the captain reckoned that they had something more than a ton of fish." The catch wasn't fish, however. , It was an airplane motor with a propellor attached, the whole weighing 3,000 pounds. The motor-had been lost from a plane, which had crashed while being tested for the government • • While beam trawling is extremely hard work at all times .o^Jhe year, In winter it is even morfethan that. Gales may blow, ice may cover lines, decks apd even men, but fishing still goes on. Asked Capt. Charles Hanff, who commanded a beam trawler--the captain works right along with the crew--for many years, enough years In fact to send a son through college, why men chose such an arduous occupation. He replied that he didn't know--unless it was because they liked it! , New York is noted for its .chiselers. Thfey Seem to be everywhere. Nothing escapes their attention. But to my mind, the meanest of them all were those who crashed the lines where 8-cent milk, was being sold to those too poor to pay the regular retail price. Because of the chiselers, several thousand of the poor were unable to obtiln milk badly needed for children. And a check also showed several thousand chiselers on the welfare rolls. There should be some special kind of punishment devised for such alleged human beings. For instance, they might be made to take the place of those they chiseled out of food. * • • For no reason at all, there comes into my mind at the moment the tale •f the gentleman who attended one of those pent-house parties. - Wandering out onto- the terrace, he glanced down at adjacent apartments and what he saw interested him so that he borrowed a pair of field glasses from his host Handing the leather case to a friend, he started a slow circuit of the terrace, the friend following with the case dangling from his neck.
