husband and a Republican wife
might Jaw back' and forth and It
wouldn't greatly mutter provided
they wero good natured EjmooratH
and Republicans iirasuppoavd to dif-

lie only humorous.

Well when Clem called tbo Demo-
cratic convention In Houston to or-

thut It w.is almost a cinch Al Smith
would be nominated for president.
Ho did It also In tbo full knowledge
that Mis. Shaver was lending in
prayer in a Houston church In op-
position to Al's nomination.
And when ho was risked "What
about It?" hla answer was "So far
as I know Mrs. Shaver Isn't lu

Captains Mariano anil'lZapiiVniul
Dr. Mnlnigrcn statted fiom the
scene of the crash of the Italia
across the Ice for land on May 30.
In their march they suffered un-
told privation. For doya they drift-
ed on floating Ice. ZuppS was
quoted as saying that several miles
southwest of Biok Island Malm-
grcn was unable to march on. He
told hla two companions to go
ahead and take all the piovlslona.
Zoppl's account continued.
"Ucfore leaving Malmgrcn asked
us lo dig a giavc in the Ice and ho
lay down tjttletly he stretched out
his hand bid ling mi adieu nnd
handing up his compass lcqticst-

"We plodded on slowly. In 'J I
hours we were only 100 inctern
from Malmgrcn. We mw Mnlm-

driven by hunger he would go with
us wo wnltcd. Realizing this
Malmgrcn cried:
"Go! Go! At Uie price of my life
you'll save nil."
"We mm died on "
A mile from Drok Island Mariano
became blind. Again thoy dtlftod
with the Ice. During their wander-

Ho arranged tho latest Jackson Day

Robinson ot Arkansas as chairman
of tho Houston convention nnd ho
proved to lio a dandy. Ho didn't
