It was the sixth annual Corpus Christi procession for El Paso. It was a grand gesture, solemn and impressive.

A survival of a cus- ton begun by Robert de Torote, Bishop of Liege, in 1246. With prelates of the church attired in the bright colors of their office; with sabers of the Knights of Columbus honor guard gleaming as the sun was setfing; with more than 20,000 marchers chanting, praying, and singing religious songs, the solemn host marched from St. cathedral to the Sacred Heart church, protesting their faith. Seven prelates, attended by altar state, bore the Blessed Sacrament in the ostensorium. Mrs.

TRACY There is even more lack of leadership in the opposition to Al Smith than there was in the opposition to Herbert Hoover. By M.

E. TRACY OKLAHOMA CITY, Smith sentiment grows as one travels south, which is one more reminder of the deadly parallel between the Smith and Hoover campaigns. Just as the bulk of the opposition to Hoover came from solidly Republican states, so the opposition to Smith is strongest in Democratic states. If the parallel follows thru, the opposition will collapse at Houston exactly as it did at Kansas City. Lack of leadership is the outstanding weakness in each case.

There is even more lack of leadership in the opposition to Smith than there was in the opposition to Hoover. Sen. Reed, who is regarded as strongest opponent, will go to Houston with scarcely half as! many votes as former Gov. Lowden, who was supposed to be outstanding opponent at Kansas City. will be the smokescreen at Houston, just as farm relief was at Kansas City.

Political leaders opposed to Smith are ardent in the cause of prohibition right now, but their ardor is based on the hope of capitalizing religious prejudice. They are handicapped not only by their inability to organize around some single candidate, but also by the stupidity of fanatics like Heflin, which has made vastly more votes for Gov. Smith than for anyone else. The ridiculousness of his charges has disgusted thousands of people, the wild assertions with regard to a huge campaign fund, which he failed to prove when put on the witness stand, the childish shrieks of alarm, and above all else, the simple traps he set for others only to get caught in them himself, have converted his appeal into a bomme- rang. This was vividly illustrated by the, way he approached the open air; meeting at Albany on Sunday.

Having agreed to address that meeting, he advertised his fear that would attempt to break it up. Gov. Smith replied by ordering the head of the New York state constabulary to that Sen. Heflin1 has every Putting aside the decency and justice of the thing the cleverness of the latter stand' out in such sharp contrast to the stupidity of the former that no one could be deceived. Having failed to get what they wanted at Kansas City, the professional farm relievers are planning to move on Houston, with the idea of obtaining support for the McNary-Haugen program.

Their case has been somewhat weakened by the apparent willingness of Sen. McNary to abandon the equalization fee. But what is a little thing like that in politics? cade Bring Delegates Here Three hundred of the expected 500 delegates had registered at Hotels Kussmann and Paso del Norte at 11 a. m. for the Eighteenth Annual convention of Hotel Greeters opening here today.

Miss Earhart later took special courses at Harvard, Columbia and the University of California. First Woman to Fly Atlantic Hold Plane Altitude Record Pilot and Wife United Press Leased Wire NEW personality of Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean, combines the calm and determined daring of Lindbergh with the charm, beauty and independence of the modern American college girl. She is still on the young side of 30, tall, slender and wears light curly hair bobbed close to her head.

Since leaving school she has supported herself as a paid social service worker in the slums of Boston, but has found time for aviation at the same time. Miss Earhart for two years held the altitude record of 14,000 feet and has been interested in flying since 1918.

She was born in Atchison, in 1898.

She graduated from the Hyde Park high school in Chicago, attended the Ogontz school for Girls in Philadelphia and after serving overseas as a nurse during the war, studied mathematics at Columbia university and sociology at the University of Southern California. Her father, Edw. S. Earhart, is an attorney in Los Angeles. Her mother was with her in Boston before she took off from there two weeks ago for Newfoundland from where she started across the Atlantic.

In California Miss Earhart bought a Kinner airplane equipped with ar three-cylinder motor which had a habit of going dead at almost any altitude. When she went to Bos- 1 ton Dedrich said he fired only after 1 the father, C. W. ficer at the Tivoli until gambling ceased. to heed his command to halt.
