NO LONGER REFLECTS SOUND
Defect Which Made Supreme Court
room Whispering Gallery"
Has Been Remeded.

According to the Washington Star.
the whispering gallery" OF the United
States Supreme court has been elm
mated. 1t was Chief Justice White
who called II whispering gallery"
In letter to Elliott Woods, superin-
dem Of the capitol he said:
~ he situation Is at times almost
unhcurble, result which will be read
fly appreciated when It IS understood
that from one end of the rostrum to
the other there exists what may be
described aS whispering gallery, by
tone is ;nagnlfied and carried from
one end of the bench TO the other, so
that a statement by one judge at one
end to his neigllbor is magnified and
spoken into the ear of Il member Of
the court at the other end"
The acoustic properties of the Su-
preme courtroom have been very bad
since 1902, when the roof of the cen.
trail portion Of the capitol was fire
prOofcd and the ceilings Of the statu.
AIRY hall and the present Supreme
courtroom were freproofed. The
character OF the material used made
the surface sOund-retlecting. The Su-
premr court has had II great deal OF
trouble from that time with the re-
Election of sound from the spherical
ceiling. This defect has now been
remedied at cost of $4,000.

STILL CLING TO RAG DOLL

TO Homer stephens. president OF the

although we have every form of
toy imaginable which can and does
please the heart OF the child, there is
nothing like the old rag doll" Mr..

dolls manufactured and sold last year
than ever before, and l understand
the demand has increased this year.
"All toy manufacturers have lnven-
tors who turn out new articles every
year. This years innovation Is the
popular-priced toy phonograph. which
plays any record and costs but a few
dollars. Toys this year have been
made especially to promote what
might be called Juvenile engineering
They are built for the purpose Of

A.mosphsr. Preserves Anelen. Relics.

The peculiar dryness OF the atmos-
phere OF Arizona has had a wonder
full effect in protecting the relics OF
ancient civilization In that section. In
mounds which are scattered through
the country. and ruined houses. may
be found many filled with parched
corn and beans in as good a state OF
preservation as they were the day
they were hidden from the elements
by the fearful sand storms that must
have prevailed when they were buried.
The losves In the ash-covered ovens
Of Pompeii were preserved on the
same principle. The erection OF con-
crete buildings throughout the coun-
try shows these lost people to have
been well versed in the construction
OF edifices adapted TO the region and

Fewer Figs Reach Market.

The fig yield Of the vilayet Of Alden
has arisen from approximately 5000
tons raised on 10000 acres Of land
about thirty years ago to about 1000
tons raised on 5000 acres. However,
this advance in supply has not kept
pace with the demand. and prices OF
figs have steadily risen. The big pro-
ducing areas are, under normal condi-
tions, exclusively tapped by the otto
man tAiden) Railway company's sys-
TEN. The orchards. located mainly In
the Meander valley, are owned chiefly
by Turks. The best figs are produced
In the Inovassl and Ortnxe districts.
The product is marketed in Smyrna,
where the figs are packed In accord
ance with the demand OF the region TO
which the figs are exported. Blight,
neglected fertilization and lack Of com
munication have cut down this seasons
export output to about 10000 tons.
Exports went to the United States
(nbOut 1900 tons) the United Kingdom
$500 tOns). and European entente
countries (about 1000 tOns).

Illinois and job Hedges OF New York.
Gov. Coolidge arrived here to-day and
was greeted by gathering OF local
Republicans and party officials. Later
he met newspaper men.
Asked whether he believed the Demo
cratic charges that Senator Harding
had shifted his position on the leas II,
had won any votes for Gov. Cox, Gov
Coolidge laughed and said he had not
heard OF d Democratic trend and thai
he did not know of Senator Harding
changing his position. He predicted g
sweeping victory for the Republican
! national ticket and called attention also
to the Importance of winning majority
OF both the Senate and House for th'
Republicans.
He declared he had no wish to pre-
side over Democratic Senate. Tive
States into which Gov. Coolidge Is go
ing-Kentucky and Maryland--are likely
to defeat incumbent Democrats and re
turn Republicans In their places.
Gov. Coolidge was asked concerninl
the proposal of William ]. Bryan tina
this country should cancel the alliee
debt. He said he had not heart
of It, but smiiingly advocated watchful.
ness toward any OF Mr.. Bryan's finan-
cial proposals.
