NEW COUNTY SEAT
 SHORTENS DISTANCE

SALT LAKE CITY. Dee. 27.-It is fifty miles from Manila, Utah, to Yer. nal. Utah. as the crow flies. But 1t is 1000 miles between those two points during about nine months ot each year, and this mileage between these two towns is the reason an ad, ditional county was organized in Utah two years ago. with Manila as the county seat of the new political sub division.
 Manila formerly was in Uintah county. the county seat of which was Nernal. The county seat virtually was inaccessible from Manila during long period Of each year. due to high mountains. a forest and other barriers In this contingency Manila citizens having business at Nernal could journey to the county seat north to Green River, Wyo., thence to Cheyenne, from there to Denver, Pu- eblo and Grand Junction, Colo, and thence over the Uintah railway and st"Ee ltne to Nernal. An optional route was to journey west to Ogden. to Salt Lake, to Provo. and Spring vile, via the Denver & Rio Grande r?ilroad to Mack, Colo. and there take the Uintah railway and stage line to Nernal
 And so 1t came about that Daggett county was created. with less than 500 population, who cast less than loo votes at any election. Manila was made the county seat, the citizens of the new county consenting to assume tho responsibility and expense of county government to obviate Il jour ney of 1000 miles to their county seat.

ARE POSSESSED OF
 GOOD VOICES

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 27.-Nearly all aviators and radio operators pos sess musical ability and were born early in the life of their mother pa rent. Expert mathematicians never become good musicians. Only F per cent of the men who graduate from college have low.pitched voices. These were among the recently an nounced discoveries of Theophilus Fitz of this city as the result of twelve years Of research during which over eighteen thousand tests were made in high schools here and in New York and In colleges and mu- sical conservatories in many parts of tho country.
 Other facts revealed by his studies, he said. were that the appreciation of rhythm and rhythmic sound was more developed in children born of young mothers than those of mothers of mid ulc age, anu tiidt uldIlldllC dDillty Was also the result of early motherhood; that men who have high or medium high voices were inclined toward the professions and arts, and that during the past 100 years more babies were born who developed soprano or tenor voices than of the Contralto or bass type.
 to demonstrate a theory that the qual ity. quantity and compass of the hu of an individual could be definitely de termined during the years of his ado amply supported by the numerous tests he had made.
 His diagnosis Of the musical apti- tude of a pupil he said. required no test of the voice. the examination con sisting of d series of questions and d few measurements to determine the extent of the resonance cavities Oi the head. One series Of questions re lated to physical characteristics, an other to educational attainments and others to temperamental traits. One of the questions asked was Are you twin?" Mir. Fitz said he had dis covered early in his experiments that q diagnosis Of the musical aptitude of q twin was impossible.

A PATRIOTIC WISH (By Edgar Guest)

I'd like to be the sort of man the
 flag could boast about; I'd like to be; the sort of man it
 cannot live without;S I'd like to the type of man That really is American: '1, The head erect and shoulders
 square, .... Clean minded fellow, just and fair, That all men picturee when they Sec The glorious banner of the free. I'd like to be the sort of man the
 flag now typifieS .'.. The kind of man we really want
 the flag to symboliZe; The loyal brother to g trust g. The big, unselfish soul and just. The friend of every man oppressed The strong support of all that's
 best,
 The sturdy chap the banners meant Where'er 1t flies, to represent. I'd like to be the sort of man
 the flags supposed to mean, The man that all in fancy see
 wherever it is seen, The chap that's ready for fight Wherever there's wrong to right, The friend in every time of need, The doer of the daring deed,- The clean and generous-handed
 man
 That is 8 real American.
