HB WEST SEEN
fISSTRONGEOR
ROOSEVELT
By COLE E. MORGAN
Continued gains in the Far
West, as reflected in latest re
turns tabulated from that sec
tion in the nation-wide presi
dential poll of The Washington
Times and other Hearst newspa
pers ‘enhance Governor Roose
velt's chances to win the major
share of the electoral votes of
that region in November.
The latest figures from the 11
Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast states gives Roosevelt a
substantial majority in all ex
cept Colorado. It has switched
to President Hoover by a 19-vote
margin. Oregon, alone, of the
other 10. turned in a Hoover lead
on the last week’s returns, but
it was not sufficient to swing the
state over, merely shifting it from
a safe Roosevelt state to a doubt
ful.
California, this year’s surprise
of the Far West continues to give
Roosevelt majorities each week
actually larger than the total
votes for Hoover. Washington
state likewise is piling up huge
Rosevelt majorities.
In the Mountain States, Utah,
Nevada, and Arizona are the out
standing Roosevelt backers. Ari
zona and Nevada like California,
give him majorities in excess of
Hoover’s totals, while Utah’s ma
jority for him is more than half
the number to Hoover’s credit.
The Mountain States that ap
pear in doubt, besides Colorado,
are New Mexico, Montana. Wyom
ing and Idaho. These five and
Oregon would net Hoover only
24 electoral votes, just two more
than California appears ready to
place to Roosevelt’s credit.

JUVENILE CRIME
GAINING EAST
Increased juvenile delinquency,
said to be gaining headway at an
appalling rate in the District, has
actuated the Crime Prevention
Bureau to launch an investigation
of conditions conducive to im
morality and crime of youth.
Social agencies are co-operating
to stem the sweeping wayward
ness that has spread to such an
extent that in some sections of
the city 50 per cent of all
juveniles are coming in contact
with the courts, it is reported.
Increasing truancy will also be
checked if possible, as Policeman
W. T. Murphy, head of the
juvenile department of the Crime
Prevention Bureau, reports that
90 per cent of all habitual
truants eventually become crim
inals.
An attempt will be made to
secure lighting for playgrounds
so that children may not be
forced to seek amusement in
alleys and on streets after dark.
It is also hoped that there will
be an increase in the number of
boys’ clubs to furnish diversion
of a beneficial character. Lack
of funds is said to be hampering
this project, however.
2 Capital Men Named
By Technical Body
J. A. Lankford, local architect,
has been elected vice president
of the National Negro Technical
Association, which just closed its
fourth annual convention in De
troit. J. N. Gardner, also of
Washington, was elected treas
urer. The asociation will meet
next year in Chicago.
CIVIC MEETING TONIGHT

How One Man
Lost 22 Pounds
Mr. Herman Runkis of Detroit
writes: “A few lines of thanks from
a rheumatism sufferer —my first
bottle of Kruschen Salts took all
the aches and swellings out of my
joints—with my first bottle I went
on a diet and lost 22 pounds and
now I feel like a new man.”
To lose fat SAFELY and quickly
take one half teaspoonful of Kru
schen Salts in a glass of hot water
in the morning before breakfast.
—cut down on pastry and fatty
meats —go light on potatoes, butter,
cream and sugar.
For your health’s sake ask for
and get Kruschen—the cost for a
bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a
trifle at any drugstore in the world
and if after the first bottle vou are
not joyfully satisfied with results—
money back. Peoples Drug Stores
and all good druggists will be glad
to supply you.

TAM AUDIT
DUE TONIGHT
The first audit of the town
books of Takoma Park will be
dropped into the laps of the six
council members at a special
meeting called for tonight at the
volunteer fire department hall.
No member of the council has
seen the 52-page report nor
knows its findings, nor does any
member of the finance commit
tee, which has been co-operating
with the auditors, D N. Burn
ham & Co., of Washington, know
of its import.
Mayor Frederick L. Lewton
sent a copy of the audit to Bryan
Davis, clerk and treasurer since
1926, last Wednesday, he said to
day—but has received no word
whether Davis will appear at the
council meeting to defend any
charges that may be placed
against him.
