NEWSPAPER MEN E.
SHIFT POSITIONS

Changes in the stats of three Flori-
da dailies of interest throughout the
state became effective today with the
shifting of Oscar NJ. Johnson and
Ellis C. Hollums, of Jacksonville, to
Tampa and Miami, respectively, and
of Robert w. Bently, of Tampa, to
Bradentown.
Mr.. Bently, for many years engaged
in newspaper work in Tampa, part of
the time as managing editor of the
Tampa Times and for the last five
or six years as managing editor of
the Tampa Morning Tribune, has pur-
chased an interest in the Bradentown
Herald and goes to the Manatee coun-
ty city to take charge of the property
and convert the Herald from a weekly
to daily.
Mr.. Johnson. for eight years man
aging editor of the Florida Metropo-
lis until the purchase of the Metropo-
lis recently by Richard Lloyd Jones
and John A. Berry, leaves Jacksonville
to become managing editor of the
Tampa Tribune. Mr.. Johnson is q
native of Pensacola and his newspaper
experience was gained in that city anc
| in Jacksonville.
Mr.. Hollums, native of Alabama
and for some years with newspapers
in Birmingham and other cities resign
as city editor of the Jacksonville Jour.
nal to become identified with the
Miami Herald He came to Jackson
vile as city editor of the Metropolis
when the S. A. Lynch Enterprises
purchased the property from Carte.

and sent Major Quimby Melton here

These are all competent newspaper
men and among the best of good citi
zens, and the Star wishes full success
for them and their papers.

All Ears Hear Differently.

What you hear when you listen to
talk or music is not the same thing
that any one else hears. All human
ears hear the slime thing differently.
This is one of the discoveries made
in the research laboratories of the
Western Electric and the American
Telephone and Telegraph companies,
according To DR.. Harvey Fletcher.
The normal human voice can be re-
duced TO One-milIionth of its volume
and still be heard. DR. Fletcher says,
but if the voice is reduced to one ten
millionth it becomes inaudibIe. The
ear will receive a human voice ampIi-
fed TO 100 times its normal volume
without distress. but if increased a
thousandfold the sound is painful to
the ear At this volume of sound also
the words are indistinguishable. Thus
the range of good hearing is from one
millionth the volume of the normal
voice 10 100 times its volume.

Parachute in Two Parts.


The parachute holds the same re-
lation to the aircraft that the life
preserver holds 10 watercraft, and
even when air travel has become rea-
sonably safe, the parachute will con-
tinue to play its part in case a forced
landing is necessary. AS the speed
of air travel increases, the strain
placed upon the parachute in leaving
the aircraft becomes greater. and the
danger of rupture of the fabric is also
increased. To reduce this hazard and
to lessen the shock on the person US
ing the parachute. the twO-part para
chute has been tested in Germany.
Another device destined to accom-
plish the same result, using the regu-
lar parachute, is in the form Of a
brake which is interpOsed between the
parachute and the jumper. Both Of
these devices are described and illus
trated in the Popular Mechanics

WHY A LAYMAN
is ACTING AS JUDGE
(Titusville Star-Advocate)

(TltuSVille Star-Advocate)
Explaining why, although he is not
lawyer, he is filling the position of
municipal judge at West Palm Beach,
Jos L. Earman, former newspaper
man, says:
Nothing more or less than attempt
ing good citizenship. In court prac-
tice in Florida the law as it applies in
each and every case the first, as to
constitutional law, second as it applies
to state statutes; third, to the COM
mon law. If the lawyers and judges
cannot arrive at conclusion from
constitution, or statute, or common
law, the equity of common sense in
tie judges head applies. That last is
my qualification.
"When | assumed the job more than
two years ago / wrote to James B.
Whitfield, justice of the supreme court
and asked him for some advice as to
whether l should attempt this judi
cial position.
''The justice wrote a mighty nice
letter, advising me to accept the posi-
ton and apply common sense both
as to admissibility of evidence and
ruling on motions made by attorneys
to convict no person without con-
elusive evidence and to always give
the defendant the benefit of doubt in
my mind.
He wrote we further than if | did
as he advised l would prove satisfac-
tory judge and there would be few re-
versals, as the law was fair propo-
sition and if administered with COM
mon sense could be fair disposal of

constitution of the state of Florida
The trouble about youx proposition,
Brother Dobson, is that such a decision
by the supreme court would automat-
ically make null and void all the other
laws and bills passed in the last
twenty-five years, and then we would
be in a nell of hess. The supreme
court isn't going to render any such
