Healy is one of the reliables along the Grandest Canyon and even 1 when he gracefully contributed to a Ziegfeld "Follies" he managed to find time to sponsor the floor productions for the ChateauMadrid, Cotton club and other local hot-spots. They are jotted down here for your diversion so that when you visit the night clubs with your autograph album (you pest, you!) you will recognize your heroes and heroines by these signs: If she is wearing a Spanish shawl, it is Estelle Taylor. It he yells for hot dogs, he is Johnny who came home with Olympic honors.

Weismuller, the swimming champ If she breaks out indicates dance to greet a friend with drooping from a corner of her mouth, it's Clara Bow. If she climbs on a piano to sing, She's Helen Morgan, of course. If she is eyeing the crowd located through at a longnette table), (and she she is Elinor Glyn. If you hear a plump man shout "Hello Pal!" it's P. Whiteman.

If they are wearing large open collars, it is either Rudy Vallee or Ted Healy, and if he dances on his toes, he is George Carpentier. The flashiest dressed woman in the place would be Peggy Joyce. It he sits with an arm on the back of his chair and breaks matches with one hand, it's a safe bet to wager he is Irving Berlin. If a curly-headed man insists upon reciting something, or telling One Of Those Jokes from the center of the floor, it is Alex Carr. If they are getting more attention and service than Pershing, Hoover or Jimmy Walker, then they are columnists.

If she has a mother with her, it would be "Peaches" Browning. If he talks about Chicago, its Ring Lardner. If they are behaving themselves, they are West Pointers and pay their checks without a complaint, If the most beautiful woman in the place is with a man, that man probably is Enoch Johnson of Atlantic City or Red Grange. Army officers are usually in mufti and always keep quiet, Naval officers are in gold braid and demand navy songs. If after two bottles of ginger ale they start throwing clackers at the girl dancers in the revut, they are collegiates If they flirt with the other feller's girl (when he isn't looking, of course) they must be collegiates! If they squawk about the bill and tip the hat check girl a dime, they are positively collegiates and if there is a fist fight in the place, it isn't a Broadway gunman, but a collitch itch.

If she sprays you as she talks, she is Texas Guinan. If he is getting the biggest laughs, he is Jimmy Durante, If she displays a red spectacle case, she is Emily Vandervilt. If he is the only colored patron, he is Bill Robinson. If he says he is bashful, but will sing, if you really want him to, it is Sammy Mandell, the boxing expert. If you see a man who just sits and listens and never spokes or sips (unless it is coffee), then it is Damon Runyon.

If you hear a good looking brunet with A lot of beautiful large molars shout to Lou Holtz; "Ha'ya, Roy!" she is Frances Upton. If you see a tall attractively gowned blonde giving A Certain Broadway Paragrapher a doity look, she is Edna Leedom. If she has a stone on her hand that resembles a hunk of cracked ice, and keeps flashing it, it certainly is Mabel Boll. If she is a brunet and is sitting with a different fellow every night, she is Agnes O'Laughlin, Rudy Vallee's pash (when he is here). If the woman with the poise and good manners fascinates you and she isn't a bit affected, then it has to be Alice Joyce.

If she dances every dance with him, she isn't his wife. If he has a blue suit and drinks absinthe, it is George White. If he passes his glass of brandy under his nose eight times before he drinks it and is busy getting other people plastered, it is Mark Hellinger, who this very moment is going crazy striving to think up snappy comeback. WINCHELL RECALLS LINCOLN POLISHING APPLE ON HANDKERCHIEF Visitor Recounts Buying 35 Acres Of Chicago Land For $4,000 TELLS 'OF FAMOUS FIRE Mention the name of Abraham Lincoln to William Tempel and the gaunt features of the famous railsplitter are immediately focussed before a 97-year-old brain. Then Tempel begins to talk.

Tempel, who today: is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Samuel A. Gaylord, 608 Ridgecrest was a staunch admirer of his friend Lincoln, but curiously enough the man who saw his 97th birthday flit into the past last July 21 did not. support the policies of his former president. In the first place Tempel bought 8 a slave for $60 while running a fruit boat up the Mississippi river and again he boucht, a man for $150 to fight for Lincoln called the north to arms to free the bondage of the negro.

Store In Chicago "I remember when I had a general store in Chicago during the time of the Lincoln- Douglas debates," Tempel says. "Lincoln used to visit the place." "Dressed in a tall, beaver hat, 8 long black coat and a black shawl he appeared so tall and dignified that I used to call him 'Father "He always bought sausage. Then he would grope about in the apple barrel until he found a good one so that he could shine it with his huge handkerchief and begin to talk." Tempel came to America from Germany when he was 14 years old. He crossed the ocean in 90 days on a sailing boat when they handed each passenger a bag for straw to sleep on, instead of leading them to a palatial stateroom. For 70 Years He went to Chicago just as the In- dians were vacating and there he was lived for 70 years.

At that time State st. property was $50 per foot and Tempel purchased 35 a acres of land for $4,000. Sixty-five years later, he sold one acre for 000 let the rest go for $500,000. When the Chicago fire ravaged the city, Tempel lost his store and was forced to take to the waters at Lincoln Park to save his own skin. He waited and worked, finally starting in all over again.

"Lincoln was a fine man," Tempel will tell you today. "But I do not believe in war at any price."

Football yells mingled with campaign were made as the students and former official entry into the campaign. Prof.

William E. Strassner led the campaign songs, and Kenneth Rob-4 erts, student cheer leader, bounced about on the stage to lead the cheer- ing. Needs Are Pictured Oscar Hunsicker, former prosecutor and president of the Alumni association, presided and introduced the speakers who pictured the pressing need of a new university and the part the students will play in the campaign. "It is strange that we are not meeting in the auditorium of the university," said Attorney Joseph Thomas, first speaker, referring to the lack on the campus of a suitable building in which a large meeting may be held. day "It is the same school I entered in 1911 with only two small buildings added.

"Yet when I was a member of the student body there were only 180 students in a. community of 69,000 persons. Today we have a student body of more than 3,700 in a community of 250,000 persons, still being educated in practically the same plant that we used 18 years ago." Tells Of Survey An educational survey which he conducted in Massachusetts to determine the need in that state for publicly controlled institutions of education was spoken of by President George F. Zook in his talk. While educators in Massachusetts seemed to think that their wealth of privately endowed institutions adequately met the situation, there was a strong murmuring against the great line of demarcation between the wellborn and well-to-do and those not able to afford a college education, he said.

"If Akron or any other community wants to solve its problems it must leave the door open to higher education for young men and women from all walks of life," Dr. Zook declared.

Simmons, head of the chemistry department spoke briefly, outlining crowded conditions in his department which necessitates having graduate workers in rubber chemistry, drawn to this city from all over the world, work in a small laboratory alongside sophomores.

A. E. Hardgrove, superintendent of City hospital, rose from the audience to deplore conditions on the campus as he found them last week when he visited the university with the Kiwanis club. "There was only one high school in Akron when I graduated from Central high school," Hardgrove said. "That was in 1908, and since that time three small builidngs have been added to the university, while Akron has added seven more high schools as feeders to the university enrollment." Other Speakers Listed Other speakers included Attorney Jack Griffiths, Harold Cochran, newly elected president of the student body; Sherman Schumacher, university field secretary, and his assistant, Perth Killinger.

Three university directors were in the audience last night and were introduced by Hunsicker. They were J. Grant Hyde, Mrs. C. W.

Averell and J. E. Judd. The part of the students and alumni in the campaign will be to carry on the work of personal solicitation, spreading need of a new university among the voters of the city.

Although only In infrequently in Akron, Miss Gladwin has always called this city her home.

She lives at 268 E. Voris and returned a few days ago after spending more than a year as superintendent of nurses at the famous Mayo hospital in Rochester. Important as that position was, however, the more colorful and interesting experiences she encountered while serving on the Serb-Austro front during the World war claim first attention, Taken As Prisoner "Yes, I was a prisoner, was under fire, saw thousands of wounded brought in from the battlefields and lived in a besieged city," confided smilingly. In 1914 she sailed for Nish, of Serbia, with the first contingent American nurses recruited by the Red Cross. "We were stationed at Belgrade," Miss Gladwin recalled, "and hospital was captured and once recaptured by the Serbs.

The Austrians took us first, and and appreciated they were our very kind to us work in caring for their sick wounded. Once the city was divided, half of it being under German charge. For more than a year, we were continually under fire." World war wasn't her first conflict. Prior to that, she shared in the hardship of camp life along the Russo-Japanese front in the far east. "I have a medal," she said modestly, "that was given to me by the Russian general of one of the last divisions to survive on the eastern front." Has Many Medals As a matter of fact, Miss Gladwin owns more than a half dozen medals, including the famous Florence Nightingale decoration awarded by the International committee at Geneva.

Three of them were presented to her in Serbia and three were given to the Akron nurse for her courageous afforts in Japanese hospitals during the Russo-Japanese war. "And it seems only yesterday that I set out for our own border when trouble was brewing there with the Mexicans--then there was the Spanish-American war and I was sent to Porto Rico and Manila. I was four years in Serbia and learned to respect the Serbs. They were excellent patients, always appreciative of the work we did for them." Her Florence Nightingale medal reads in part: "For great and exceptional devotion to the sick and wounded in peace or war." But Mary Gladwin wouldn't exhibit "It's packed away," she evaded modestly. Start In Kansas Her lecture tour is to start in Wichita, and later she will visit Iowa and the Dakotas.

"I'd like to stay longer in Akron," she admitted. "I'd like to help in this wonderful bond issue for our university here." She is a graduate of old Buchtel college and a loyal supporter of the best interests of the municipal university. CITY K. OF C.

Warrants charging the three men, Curtis Moore, Fred Mountinac and Fred Barber with theft of a pistol while engaged as investigators for the county prosecutor of Medina county were also sworn to this morning, furnishing a second charge that the trio will confront later.

Hanshue of Medina, For Three Weeks Quizzed by the judge this morning, the younger of the two women, Josephine Bonner, admitted she was less than 18 years of age and that she had been living with the three men for three weeks. She declared that her home was in Akron but was unable to describe her father's occupation.

The other woman, Geraldine Moore, insisted she had known one men, Curtis Moore, eldest of the Medina deputies, for six months. Both girls sobbed intermittently during the brief hearing. They had taken evident pains in preparing for their appearance in court. Stockings with gaping "runners" were pinned and stitched, and bedraggled dresses were smoothed down with nervous hands to conceal bare knees. The men, mere striplings, and under the average in weight and stature all professed the same occupation, On Liquor Cases "We're investigators on liquor cases," Curtis Moore explained it.

He said he had worked in Washington, Zanesville and Hamilton, always in the employ of the prosecuting attorney in those counties.

(AP) -Officials are digging grimly into facts surrounding the now historic riot of the Colorado state penitentiary here last week and convicts still murmur excitedly in their cells of nights as they discuss among themselves its flaring crescendo from a single shot in a dining hall to battle and through which 12 men crowded, lost their lives.
