Fernando w. Weems, prominent
young business man and farmer of

law and the bill creating the Seventh
Election District in the county. Mr..
Weems stated that he approved both
Of these laws because he believes they
are to the best interests of the coun-
ty, and he expressed the hope that
the referendum on these laws would
be defeated at the polls.
In speaking about the referendum
as applying to the newly created Sew
enth district, Mr. Weems said that
practically everyone residing within
the territory including the Seventh
fdistrict is in favor OF the division.
He said that all OF the opposition, or,
at least the greater part of it, as a
matter of fact, has come from out
side the whole Eighth district, al
though one or two professional poll
ttfcians- of that district helped TO stir
up the, opposition in the beginning
and are largely responsible for the
present referendum.

CARUSO'S THROAT
 PHYSICAL MARVEL

Rome.-The throat of Eurico Car uso. which was left at the time of his death to the Naples Museum for medical examination, was reproduc- ed pictorially by Rome newspapers today. Doctors, whose opinions were published, described it as the most extraordinary development known, for vocalilation.
 Caruso's vocal chords were twice the normal length and his breath ing power was described as phen- uomenal. The epiglottis was as thick as that of the deepest bass singers. while its attachment 10 the tongue was of such nature as to per nit the greatest rap.dity of vibra- tiOns. thus accounting for the i'm mense range of the great tenor's voice.
 His lung power was so enormous that he could make the chords of a piano vibrate by merely breathing upon them. The doctors described CarusO's lungs as those of a super man, and declared that from head to foot he was a magnificent singing machine.
