New York, Dec. 30.-Amateur
wireless operators over the country
tonight assisted in distributing to
the American people, through the
press, radio messages from Herbert
Hoover, appealing for relief of
helpless children in eastern and

New Years message broadcast and
amateurs belonging TO the Ameri-

up.

MORE EXP ANSIVE:
Records at New Mexico.
Military Institute Show
Students Gain Average of
Eight Pounds in q Months


Roswell, n. NJ, Dec. 30.---An eX-
tremely interesting physical report,
covering the first four months of
the 1920 school session, September
. to December 8, has just been
handed in to Col. James. w. Will
son, superintendent of the New
Mexico Military institute, by Lieut..
Col. H. A, ingalls,, post surgeon,
Of the United States army. The
report reflects the physical cOndi-
ton of the 273 cadets at the insti-
tuto and speaks volumes for the
benefits derived from the system
Of mental and physical training in
use at the school.
The most remarkable phases Of
the report are the gain in chest
expansion and the reduction in
girth, The report shows that the
average of total of all cadets,
who were carefully weighed and
measured according to army stand
ards at the time they entered school
in the fan and TeWcighCd and again
measured in December of this
year. The average weight of the
cadets on September was l29,45
pounds. The average weight Of the
same boys on December was
1929, a net average gain of S.S4
pounds. The chest relaxed report
shows the average on September
. last was 31.2S, while on Deem
Der 8, the fiGure was BLOB, a gain
of .2l.
The chest expansion report shows
that on September ., the averaged
expansion of the cadets was 34.07. /
The average expansion on Deem
Der was $50, a gain of 1903.
The comparison of relaXation and
expansion shows a gain of LA.
There seems to have been a gem
cral tightcring of the belts at the
institute between the time the ca
diets entered on September 8 and
December .. The boys measured
around the waist on September 81
last 27.51 and on December meas |
ured 25.43, a dimunitiun or shrink |
Of EOS There was a general gain
in height also. The average on
. was Gas. The meas
urements on December 8 showed |
C7.95. or an average gain of SO.
The school officers are much |
gratified because of the excellent |
physical showing made. A COM |
Darison of the records shows more |
clearly than anything else could
show the results obtained from
he military set-up and pyhisacl
exercises.

TWO-CENT EXCISE TAX
FOR GASOLINE DEALERS
HELD VOID BY MEBLETT


Judge Neblett a decision upon the
question as to whether the New
Mexico statute was scparable and
capable of being sustained as far
as it imposes a tax upon domestic
business legitimately taxable. Judge
Neblett held that the wording Of
the statute, including both inter-
state and domestic business, that
its meaning was not ambiguous,
that the language used was plain
and clear and that there was no
room for Interpretation by the
court.
He asserts that if the legislature
had intended to tax domestic bust
ness only, it could have inserted
proper clauses to exempt interstate
commerce.
This Was Not Done.
THE legislature did not do this, y"
states the opinion, ''and it is not
for the court to read this language
into the statue and thereby give
it a meaning the legislature might
never have intended"
The judge therefore concluded
that sections two and three Of the
gasoline tax law are void in toto.
An attempt was made at the DC
tober hearing by counsel for the
defendants to have the court hold
that the relative Importance of the
volume of interstate and domestic
business would decide the validity
of the law. The court decided that
If such a rule were to be followed,
it would have to hold the law con-
stitutional when applied to some
firms and unconstitutional when
applied to others,
