NATIVES IN TERROR AS VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE WRECKS METROPOLIS
(86)
COLIMA, Mexico -- Striking suddenly during the night, the terrific shock rocks the city, taking a death toll of 34 and leaving hundreds of people homeless and destitute. Public buildings and private dwellings topple and crack during the quarter-hour of horror. With hospitals in ruins, soldiers take command of the stricken area, set up relief stations and start to rehabilitate damaged property. Governor Salvador Saucedo, acting on a plea of the survivors, unites all government agencies toward bringing succor to the sufferers.

Benton make this movement the best-equipped detachment aiming to impress Congress, and the first unit honored by having its own Aviation Division.

PARIS, France -- Just what fashions will prevail at the shore resorts for the Summer season? That is the question that splits the designers of styles into slivers of red-hot prejudice. One leans to conservatism and the other favors freedom of the knees (and etc.) which brings forth disciples of both schools displaying the favored modes of each. The result throws the experts into a panic of confusion, leaving the decision high and dry with never a bathing suit wet although the staid models are left reeling on the ropes by the showing of the radicals.
REPEAL DEMANDED IN DEMOCRATIC KEYNOTE AS CONVENTION OPENS
(291)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- National Chairman John J. Raskob bangs the gavel and the 24th conclave of the party gets under way with a real old-fashioned knock-down-drag-'em-out fight threatening to divide the delegates on a half dozen issues that overshadow -- for the moment -- the selection of a candidate. Senator Alben W. Barkley, of Kentucky, sounds the first gun for outright repeal of the 18th Amendment and wins a few boos mingled with approving cheers. The 1932 presidential handicap starts with the oldest party looking, in militant fashion, for a standard-bearer to pit against Herbert Hoover.

Three prisoners are captured after a fusillade from shot-guns, rifles and sub-machine guns brings them to bay following a spirited chase through the swamps along the San Gabriel River. With a capacity of 3000 gallons a day, the find yields 500 gallons of alcohol in cans and 320,000 gallons of "uncooked" spirits. Elaborate preparations and plans precede the seizure, based on information supplied by two officers of the law who pose as "tramps" and live in a shack near the "alki" factory, which masqueraded as a tar insulator works.

NATIVES IN PANIC AS FLAMES RAZE CITY'S TREASURY BUILDING
SHANGHAI, China--Traffic is paralyzed and thousands jam the streets in alarm as a spectacular ire on Nanking Road, the "Broadway" of the Orient, destroys the internationally known gold and silversmith establishment of Pao Zung. Two big department stores and the entire business section are threatened as the frightened crowds hamper the firemen and municipal police. The departure of a British garrison is delayed while the conflagration rages. Staggering losses in bullion are estimated in the treaty port's most disastrous blaze since the "war" with Japan.
COIFFURES TO MATCH BALLOTS, IS NEWEST POLITICAL TENDENCY
NEW YORK, N. Y.--Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of their party. An enterprising hair-dresser has created special styles among which are the Hoover and Roosevelt Bobs, by which feminine voters can display their loyalty and boost for their favorite candidate. The Republican hair-cut curls over the top like an elephant's trunk. The Democratic one is more of a "budget" cut, showing the ears. Trust the girls to bring something new into politics. Better than the post-election wager lock-shearing.
CADET STEAMROLLER RIDES HEAVILY OVER ELI'S GRID HOPES, 20-0
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--The West Point football team stages a sensational come-back and administers a sound drubbing to the Yale eleven before a colorful crowd of 40,000 in the famous Blue Bowl. The bloodstirring feat of "Pick" Vidal, a substitute, in running back a punt seventy-five yards for a touchdown, is the spark that sets off the Army's heavy artillery. Tank-line charges, open warfare skirmishing, grenade-throwing with the pigskin as a missle, and other forms of infantry battle tactics bewilder the home team and make "Boola, Boola" the wail of a lost soul. Bob Parker's amazing punts are the only set-backs to the soldier juggernaut. A thrilling sports classic. with all the attendant color for which the game is noted.
HENRY FORD, IN RADIO TALK, TAKES STAND FOR PRES. HOOVER
DETROIT, Mich.--America's "antiquated" money system must be rejuvenated and a public-service method set up, as opposed to the present private-profit arrangement, is the pronouncement of the automobile manufacturer in his broadcast supporting the re-election of the Republican Presidential candidate. Congress should regain control of monetary affairs and conduct them as the river and harbors, the postal service or the weather bureau managed, he believes, and urges that the present incumbent of the White House be allowed to stay and complete his efforts towards the restoration of prosperity.

AL SMITH DISCHARGES ORATORICAL GUNS FOR GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
NEWARK, N.J.--Record crowds turn out to greet and cheer the Happy Warrior on his first public platform appearance in behalf of the Democratic Presidential candidate. Although this State is labelled as "doubtful", the 8-mile route taken by the former New York governor from the Holland Tunnel to the Armory here resembles "old-home" week, with flares and frenzied thousands lining the streets. Fifty-five loud-speakers outside the building carry his rousing talk to 200,000 massed on all sides. A remarkable demonstration of the great leader's popularity and one of the outstanding highlights of the entire campaign.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- A surprise attack from shore and water by Prohibition Enforcement agents nets the Raritan Sun, a $750,000 oil-tanker, and a $350,000 haul of contraband rum. Under the guise of a registered fuel ship, the boat makes port, almost unsuspected, but the government men are on the job as soon as the landing of the load starts. So swift and precise is the action of the officers, that the bootleggers are caught unawares, and surrender, without resistance, the rich shipment from the 12-mile limit.

Omitting the pagan pageantry usually attendant upon such occasions, the marriage contracts are agreed upon with a simple ceremony at the Carabacel Palace, on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- Frantic ranchers are confronted with a loss of thousands of dollars as herds of unshorn sheep are snow-bound in the Sierra Mountains. Unable to penetrate locked passes the sheep are left to shift for themselves on the frigid ranges. Many are rescued and brought to the rich grazing lands in the lowlands, and with them come droves of hungry birds, who go for a free ride on the animals' backs into the warmer climate.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Down the Avenida Francisco I. Madero; into the Plaza de la Constitucion, swings the greatest procession of athletes ever assembled in the nation's history. Men, women, and children, garbed in costumes worn in baseball, football, swimming, track and other sports are in the tremendous column, made more colorful through the presence of "charros" in native attire. The impressive array develops into a compelling formation before the National Palace and is reviewed in the great public square by President Ortiz Rubio and former-President Elias Calles. The event is a powerful show of the country's strength.

NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Broadway, the street of amazing spectacles, is held spell-bound by the Macy parade of the world's largest marionettes. A two-headed 50-foot balloon giant requires a score of people to hold him down. Other features are a 40-foot hippopotamus, a 200-foot dragon, and all flanked by various other air-filled toys from Santa Claus's workshop. The event is climaxed by 10,000 smaller balloons being sent aloft. Hundreds float around the Manhattan skyline, circle the Empire State Building and then drift away toward Long Island and New Jersey. Finders are richly rewarded.
