Offered to Make Good


Mr. Hlollingsworth last night
stated emphatically that there is no
truth in the report that have ever
tried to defraud the city out of any
money. offered to pay any differ
ence that might have arisen through
mistake, but this they refused to
let me do. Nearly every year there
is some discrepancy-the amount of
money handled is so large that it is
almost impossible to avoid mistakes.
Last year it was this way and | was
allowed to pay the difference. 1t
makes no difference to me whether
the amount is 81 or $1,000
should have been allowed a chance
to straighten it out"
Mr.. Hollingsworth explained that
last year he had printed thirty-six
license books, each containing 100
serially numbered blanks with stubs.
The licenses which were issued but
. not reported to the city auditor
were taken from the book numbered
from $500 to $500. 1t was this
fact which attracted the attention
of the mayor, it being reported that
saloon license issued last Novem-
Der bore a number in the thirty-five
hundreds, whereas the last license
reported to Auditor Hansbrough on
Friday numbered 2,79O. Mr., Hol-
lingsworth says that the wrong book
was accidentally used last Novem-
Der and then laid aside so that the
amount on the stubs was not in
cluded in the reports

that in a number of cases he had

Auditor ]. A. Hansbrough.
Nothing definite regarding the sum
said to be unaccounted for could be
learned. 1t was rumored that there
was a shortage of $4,000, but neither
Mayor Mckay nor Auditor Hans
brough would affirm this. Mayor
Mckay stated that at least two sa-
loon licenses, for which the money
had been collected, were not listed
on the reports made to the auditor.
The saloon license is $3.50. As far
as could be learned thirty-six licenses
have been issued of which no report
was made. They are for varying
amounts and the total has not been
announced.

WHY A WOMAN CAN TALK
 LONGER THAN A MAN

According to a scientific theory woman can talk longer than a man and may do so because she uses less force by a larger per centage than a man does. A Ger man professor has proved by actual and very delicate measurements that the baritone singer uses far more energy than either tenor or soprano.
 This professor declares that the range of voice differs greatly, so the percentage varies to the same extent, but as a general result it was proved that a tenor uses only from one-seventh to one-sixteenth of the lung power of the baritone or bass. The difference in the force used by the contralto and soprano is very marked, and the contralto who sings in very deep tones uses at least ten times the force of the soprano.
 The explanation is so simple that it is surprising that it was not thought of long ago. It has long been known that the tenor or so- prano brings the vocal chords to- gether and keeps the edges vibrat- ing only by the emission of air The bass or contralto leaves the space between the chords wider open, and has to vibrate much more of the membranes.
