Order was being restored gradually
In Toxic and Yokohama. but such
necessities as shelter, rations. clothing,

scarce.
A member OF the staff OF the Toxic
newspaper Asahi who has Just ar

the Tokiado railway he saw wrecked
train in which e6 passengers had been
killed including an American aide de

earthquake the newspaperman related
did not reach the uptown section of
Toxic but put all electric lights out

water supply was also shut off but 1t
was believed 1t could be restored

VOICE AMPLIFIER HELPS
TO MAKE SPEAKING EASY
New Instrument Is One That WA1
Used Successfully BY the Late
President in Alaska.

Chicago. Sept. s.-Fewer cracked
or strained voices as the result Of
strenuous political speaking CAM
paigns in the 1924 elections. and
which at the same time may reach
much wider constituency. Is seen In
the applications of the speaking
device used so successfully by the
late President Harding on his tour to
Alaska.
Candidates will be enabled to adj
dress millions of citizens without vo.
cal strain of discomfort 1t is indicat-
ed, as the instrument can be installed
in any location, while atmospherical
conditions cannot affect Its operation.
President Harding was able, with
out straining his voice, to make HIM
self heard to thousands surrounding
the observation end of his car. Speak
ers of experience have stated that or
dinarily only few hundred can hear
an open-air address by the average
speaker and then they must be
close.
The speech simplifying system is
composed of three portable transmit
tiers mounted on the railing of the
cars observation platform; a control
room In which is located the operat-
ing rack with its amplifiers and ac-
cessory apparatus; five projectors
mounted in a semicircle on spe-
cially built extension to the obserra-
ton hood. and the signal system.
The sound waves of the speakers
voice are absorbed by the transmit
ters and conveyed by wires to the
control room where they are ampli-
fed and then delivered to the pro-
jectors on the roof, which serve as
in delivering the words.
The signal system is arranged so
as to enable the audience observer
and the platform and control opera
tors to converse by signals If the
observer in the crowd things addi-
tional volume is needed, he signals
the platform man, who makes the
desired changes.

Telescope Sixty Feet Long

Chicago. Sept. s,-Phoiographs Of

Chicago TO observe the total eclipse

September 10. according TO announce
ment by Edwin II. Frost. director OF
tho observatory who will direct the
expedition.
A total eclipse affords the only
opportunity which the inhabitants OF
this planet have for observing the
corona. Prof. Frost explained. The
corona Is the circle of light seen
around the sun during a total eclipse.
II is not known whether II rotates
with the sun, as II turns about is
axis In rs days. To test this, n spe-
cial spectograph has been adapted
and will be operated by Prof. Philip
Fox. director of the Dearborn OBJ
servatory OF Evanston. Ill. The tele-
scopic lens used will be the 12-inch
Photographic objective belonging to
the Yerkes Observatory, receiving
light from second mirror on the
polar axis, or coelostat.
So far as is known. Prof Frost said,
no successful and thoroughly scienti-
fc film of the various phases OF a
total solar eclipse ever has been OBJ
tanned
At the Camp Wrigley station Of the
Yerkes Observatory, 1900 feet above
the sea and about three miles from
the town of Avalon. the total phase
will last for two minutes and 40 Sec
onds, beginning at 1854 p. m, Paci-
f1c standard time, Sept, 10.
The size and shape of the corona

sistance. Then II generally spreads
to another tooth, and another, until
the last one goes and you have to
buy a set.
Strange, but true, the disease never
attacks all the teeth at the same time,
so there Is hope.
To prevent this unpleasant condi-
ton from becoming reality In your
own case, go at once to your dentist,
at the first sign of pain or tender and
bleeding gums. Have the scale remov-
ed from the root and you may check
it, If another tooth becomes tender
and infected have the process repeat
ed.
Better prevention is to clean the
mouth and teeth thoroughly after
each meal, also at night and in the
morning.
Visit your dentist two or three
times a year for examination and
cleaning.
This disease may be checked by
proper treatment and careful diet
for system upbuilding.

Preventing Pyorrhea.


The ordinary person in the good old
days didn't think much about danger
from pyorrhea. Pyorrhea is as old
as man, the scriptures say but SO is
almost every other disease.
We are not so much concerned
with their ancient history as with
their prevention and cure at pres
emit time.
Pyorrhea Is the chief or at least
one of the chief causes for the loss
of our teeth. One by one they drop
away without any special warning,
after the first alarm.
If you have cavity in one Of

Abram Einstein, with his usual
perspicuity, happened to see her one
day in casting office and decided
part in the picture, "Overweaning
Pride" which he was at the time
preparing.
Destiny works out in a queer fash
ion. The little French girl Paula
Perier by name, of course was given
the small part, but during the first
days work at the studio the star be-
came temperamental and left the lot
in tiff. Miss Perier was thrust
into her hole.
Everyone who has seen the young
woman work has been delighted
with her and Mr.. Einstein is being
congratulated on every side. The
young woman seems quite uncon-
scious of the fact that she has done
anything In any way out of the ordi-
nary and of course this will only be
decided when "Overweaning Pride"
Is released.
Miss Perier never has been on the
stage, but for some years she has
been model for the smartest dress
shops In a number of the larger cit
les, including New York. 1t seems
that Mr.. Einstein saw Miss Perier
at the wholesale establishment of
one Of his friends and said some
thing about her which Miss Perier
overheard.
Like many young women OF the
present day. she was fred with the
ambition to go into the moving pic

Note from Richard Summers to Bea.
trice Grimsllaw.

Dear Bee
sent you yesterday an article
from - Moving Picture Magazine,
which contained the story of the
little Perier. In way il is true,
although some of the details are
fanciful. She is going to be the
fiid of the year, Bee. and is alto
gether the most fascinating woman
in all Hollywood.
Not the least of her fascination Is
that no one. man or woman. has
been able to penetrate her shell of
reserve. Possibly she has been more
human with me than anyone else.
but I think 1t Is because she knows
that am an engaged man and per-
fectly harmless.
Will write YOU very soon again.
