CONAN DOYlE''S SOUND THEORY
 NOT NEW

LONDON, Dec. 6.-There were days when the discoveries of Sherlock Holmes were startling the world, but those days have passed and now Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the alter-ego of Sherlock, is devoting his energies to new fields.
 Though Sherlock has been laid on the shelf, Sir Arthur is making dis coyeries which are almost as marvel ous as those made by the pipe-smoking sleuth of old.
 Sir Arthur has discovered spirits galore. He has found way to photo grapn the fairies and now he comes along with discovery of birds that sing but whose songs are lost to hu- man ears.
 Makes Sound Test
 Visitors to, Sir Arthur at his home in Crowborough tell of rather inter- esting, if not astonishing, experiments which the writer carries on. He has cage of Javanese birds in his draw ing room and when the, birds start to sing he instructs his visitors to watch the birds closely and to listen closely, asking, them to make a sig nal when they can no longer hear the song but can still see the throat of the bird throbbing. The visitors all agree that the birds sing reaches stage where it is not audible, but there is every outward indication that the song is still going on. According to visit ors Sir Arthur's conclusions are that nature is full of tremendous voices which are inaudible to the human ear.
 Sir William Bragg, of University College, can't get excited about Sir Arthur's discovery.
 Sir William Explains
 Sound consists of series of waves in the air." Sir William says. "The human ear is, tuned to perceive some Ol tACHi, DuL IlOI dll HST6 lS- du upper limit to the frequency which is audible. Different persons have diff ferent limits of hearing and limit changes with age. For instance, as one grows older one generally ceases to hear the shriIl:ng crickets, and it sometimes puzzles children to hear the air full of noise. while their etdors arc unconscious of it.
 So, if Sir William knows whereof he speaks. it would seem that there is scientific refutation that the latest discovery" of Sir Arthur is a dis covery at all, and in view of the fact that his fairy Fl otographs haven't been altogether accepted without doubts, it would seem that people had DOT" faith in the discoveries of Sher- losck Holmes than they have in the latter day discoveries of the alter ego of Sherlock.

JAPAN TO QUIT POST OFFICES
 IN CHINA

WASHINGTON Dec 7.-Apparent- ly we'll pleased with the good i'm pression created by her prompt rati- fication of the Arms Conference Treaties, Japan las again taken the lead in preparations for carrying out the various agreements adopted by that conference.
 Advices received here from Tobio declare that plans are practically complete for withdrawing the nu- merous Japanese post offices from China, in accordance with the agree ment made by the powers maintain ing such bureaus there, A commits sion of experts on communications aid postal service has been selected by the Japafiese government and has already taken up the work of study ing the situation in China, with view to abandoning Japanese post offices in Chinese territory by Jan uary 1, 1923N
 Statement Issued
 A statement, summing up the Jap anese attitude toward the system of maintaining post offices in China, has been issued by the Foreign Of flee as follows:
 Under Resolution the Washing ton Conference passed two resolu- tions with respect to the foreign post offices in China. The first resolu- tion provides that the foreign post offices in China, other than those in leased territories or other wise specifically provided for by treaties, shall be withdrawn by Jan uary 1, 1923, on condition that an Chinese postal service be maintained and that an assurance is given by China in the postal admins tration of China.
 ''The second resolution provides that, pending the complete with drawal of foreign postal agencies, the powers concerned shall afford full facilities to the Chinese GUS toms authorities for the examina- ton of all postal matters passing through their respective agencies in order to ascertain whether they con tain articles which are dutiable or contraband.

NOV E

It was fitting that Dorothy Dalton should make her debut as Para mount star, in story of such force and repute as Sir J. M. Barrie's Half an Hour," which will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight. This play, one of the most successful of this celebrated author, was first pro dnced on the American stage in 1913 at tue Lyceum Theater with Grace George in the role of Lady Lillian, which is enacted on the screen by Miss Dalton.
 Miss Dalton is majestic as the high minded aristocrat, Lady Lillian, whose husbands taunts, drive her to seek the company of young, reckless man from whom she is only saved by his accidental death.
 The adaptation was made by Clara Beranger. Sets of elegance, of an tique furnishings and valuable old tap. estries and paitings, are used for the greater part of the picture. An au- tomobile accident is one of the ex- citing incidents.
 Harold Lloyd, the Big Gun of com edy, will use the screen as target at which to shoot laughs with rapid fire, hair-trigger, double-barreled ac- tion. You are joyfully invited to at tend the execution. Leave your hand funny bone for tickling. "An Eastern Westerner" is the title and tonight is the date. Come early and avoid the stampede.

EFFORT MADE TO UNITY
 PHILIPPINE LANGUAGES

MANILA, Dec. 7-The University of the Philippines will give courses in the principal native languages or the country commencing next year. There will also be chair of philology, suggestion made by Dr. T. H. Pardo de Tavera, an eminent Philippine scholar.
 There is revival of the agitation to cease attempting to make English
 the universal language in the islands,
 but the conclusion has also been reached that an esperanto" made up
 from all the native tongues Is likewise
 out of the question. So Tangalog, the
 language of the Filipinos in and about Manila. is advocated The papers with
 the largest circulation are published
 in Tagalog, although the largest Ian
 guage group is the Visayan. How
 ever, no newspaper has as many as
 20, 900 subscribers. There are no
 country papers and only few in the
 principal provincial capitals. The
 stores are run by Chinese, often igpor-
 ant coolies who have established ! business out of their savings. These storekeepers, of course, do not adver- tise; their stores are dingy affairs at | the front of warehouses, where they store the products they trade in None of the conditions that have
 made country newspapers profitable l in the United States exist in the Pnli-
 ippines. For example, there are no country banks, which would be an other source of advertising revenue. Therefore, in town of 10000 popula- | tion there not only is no newspaper, but probably not more than twenty or thirty people are subscribers to any Manila newspaper or any magazine.
 Those who advocate popularizing 2 local language think that it would
 reach the people more effectively than
 English ever will, although they real
 ize that English will be the language
 of commerce

|tions. has since willingly extended facilities to the Chinese customs au- thorities.
 Have Many Offices
 Japan has more post offices in China than any other power, and the number of her residents in that country is larger than that of any other country, and naturally the mail matter handled by Japanese post of fees in China reaches considerable quantity. Moreover, the postal rela- tions existing between Japan and China are exceedinly complicated. Such being the case Japan will be seriously affected in consequence of the abolition of the postal agencies in China. Since, however, Japan is sir cerely desirous of furthering the aspirations of the Chinese people i'll general and promoting China's pros- ress and advancement, she agreed to the resolution and is prepared to take measures for it's execution.
 Immediately after the termina> tion of the Washington Conference the Foreign Office organized pre- paratory committee, wherein various other offices concerned, were repre- sented. On June "A last the Jap anese government made a proposal to the Chinese government through Minister Obata, Japanese Minister in Picking, to the following effect:
 Withdraw by January 1
 "The Japanese government intends to withdraw Japanese post offices in China by January 1, 1923, in accord ance with the resolution of the Washington Conference. Having re- gard for the fact that the postal re- lations between Japan and China are exceedingly complicated and that the volume of mail matters handled by Japanese agencies in China is much larger than that of any other coun- try, it is proposed that the authori- ties concerned, of both countries, shall confer with a view to ale yiating the inconveniences to be experienced by both peoples conse- ouert on the withdrawal of the Jap anese post offices"
 The Chinese government having approved this proposal, the statement says, the Japanese government has proceeded to the appointment of Jap anese delegates to a conference, and these experts are now at work on the, final details of the plan for 
 Great Britain and the United States are also making plans for the withdrawal of their post offices in China by January l.

Political Observers Believe
That Another Coalition
Government is in Making.
LAW CRITICIZED FOR
LACK OF DEFINlTENESS
Chronicle Claims There is no
Reason for Throwing Ex-
Premier From Office.

LONDON. Oct. 27.-CU. P)-The
similarity of the views held and meas
ures championed by Bonar Law and
Lloyd George in the speeches of the
campaign now in full swing are lead
ing political observers to believe an
other coalition government is newt
able following the new parliament s
meeting November Goth.
The first utterances of both Law
and Lloyd George have been withou,
bitterness. Neither made attacks on
each other, but confined themselves
to enunciating policies, which are not
varying greatly. Laws platform is
criticised in many quarters for lack of
definiteness According to the Post
the premier promises nothing but to
do his best and plainly tells the
country the people must get busy and
rebuild prosperity with their own
hands. The Times declares that his
platform is straightforward, and APP
plauds it's moderation. The Chronicle
sneers at Law policies, claiming it has
shown no reason for throwing Lloyd
George from the office since he pro-
poses to do nothing but what has al
ready been done.

FARMERS NOT BOUND BY
CONTRACT OF RAILROAD
AND WAREHOUSE, RULED
Judge Phelps Sustains Demur-
rer in Damage Case of Far
mer Who Lost Grain

An opinion that is expected to have
n far-reaching effect ON the present
status of the relationsh p existing be-
tween farmers and warehouses and
railroads as regards liability for dam
age or loss to grain stored in ware
houses by farmers has been handed
down by Judge G. w. Phelps in the
case of Joseph c. Hawkins agains;
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co.
The plaintiff sued the railroad com
pany several months since and asked
damages to the extent of $l,975.25 for
grain which he alleged was destroyed
in the fire that consumed the Myricl
Elevator company's warehouse at
Myrick Station, June 2S. 1921, He
claimed that the negligence of en-
ploNes of the carrier was responsible
for the fire which caused his loss.
Attorneys for the company answer
ed the complaint and quoted the con-
tract existing between the railroad
company and the warehouse com
pany in which the latter assumes all
risk from fire and accidents that may
be caused by the road. On these
SIDunuS lnt ueleHutlll dSNtN tIluC INC
case be dismissed
The plaiptiff then entered a demur-
rcr, ind the opinion 5on tile demurrer
was made rs tilu e,ptn't sevef'al days
since. In this opinion Judge Phelps
gave it as his belief that the contract
bet tween the two compan' es could not
be held to be binding on the farmer
unless he knew exactly what. was in
this contract.
Two paragraphs of the opinion are
as follows:
80 far as ! am able to ascertain,
the precise question involved here has
never been directly passed upon by the
courts. 1t is very important and fai
reaching proposition. Farmers are
under our system of marketing crops,
required to store their wheat and
other products in warehouses, and, as
a matter of fact and pract &c, they are
required to take the form of receipt
prepared, IT seems to me only fair,
and to be the better reasoning as

Ia GRANDE CONFIDENT
Of VICTORY IN GAME
AGAINST PENDLETON
Coach Taylor's Men Expected
to Eliminate La Grande
From Championship Race.

Pendleton high school football
players will meet the fast La Grande
team tomorrow afternoon at Round
Up park. The La Grande supporters
are confident of victory but Coach
Taylor's men are expected to prove
that they have hit their stride and
take the game. Following is the sem
timent at La Grande as expressed by
the La Grande Observer.
With the first half of the race for
football honors in Eastern oregon
complete, three candidates for the
championship stands out--La Grandc,
Wallowa and Hermiston. La Grande
or Wallowa should come out anead,
could still be tied by Hermiston who
has a game with neither team. In fact
Hermiston has only one more game
scheduled and that on November IL
with Athena. If such tie should en-
sue between La Grande and Hermis-
ton the former would have the clear
est claim to the pennant as La
Grande's schedule embraces all Of
Eastern Oregon while Hermiston con-
fines herself to Umatilla county.
So far, La Grande has presented the
finest football machine. With II fast
heavy line and a clockwork backfield,
La Grande has delighted her follow
ers with some classy grid work.
"Pendleton, last years champions,
are the disappointment of the season.
Going into slump at the first of the
season they lost two games to small
schools and finally broke into the win
column by swamping Aminemo's pro-
teges at Enterprise outclassing them
in every way.
''Wallowa still remains a darkhorse
despite her defeat of Union. Accord
ing to dope La Grande should be ar
least four touchcdowns better than
Union and therefore Wallowa looms as
q possible block in the path of the To-
cal team McGinnis, her star player,
is the central portion of the team and
is classed as one of the best backs in
Eastern Oregon on his showing last
Saturday.
Baker, with poor material, failed
to show anything although she is
steadily improving. Her team is too
light to be a favorite against any or
the leading teams.
Union, Joseph, Enterprise and I'm
bier are not classed as extra strong
teams and only Union and Enterprise
are likely to win many games. Union
with a husky lineup, should develop
as the season passes and may give La
Grande a hard tussle on November Is.
"Elgin on her showing against Ia
Grande should go through the season
without another defeat and will go in
to the Wallowa- -Elgin game November
n favorite by about one touchdown.
The important games to be played
Saturday will be La Grande at Pen
dleton and Wallowa at Joseph. Ia
Grande will meet her ancient rival In
Pendleton and. though favorite by
dope, is expecting a hard game. The
Jose -Wallowa game VII he import
ant merely to discover if Wallnwa is
as strong as her defeat over Uuion In
dicated. If so. she should win from
Joseph by about so to 0.
