The committee in effect refused to
consider the resignation of Dwight E.
Davis as president, tabling a request
that he be relieved of his duties be-
cause of his recent appointment as
assistant Secretary of War. 1t was
understood that Mr.. DayidS would
be prevailed upon to retain the post
to which he was elected early in Feb
ruary upon the condition that other
officers of the association share his
responsibilities.
Invitations Declined.
Invitations from Sweden and France
for American teams to visit those
countries this year were declined be-
cause of the desire of the U. S. l. I. A.
ropean invasion in 1924, in which It
is expected that leading men and
women court stars Will take part IN
the Olympic tournaments at Paris IN
addition to other principal contl-
mental events.
In an effort to stimulate interna-
tional competition for women the
committee invited foreign tennis as
sociations to send feminine repre-
sentatives to compete in the United
States this year for the Wlghtman
cup.
This trophy was donated several
years ago by Mrs. George w. wight
man Of Boston, the former Miss Hazel
Hitchkiss. who has ranked for some
time among prominent women play
ers in this country. 1t has not been
competed for since 1t was offered for

INCREASED NUMBER OF
 DEATHS FROM ALCOHOL

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6. - Deaths from alcoholism, which reached the lowest number in California in 1920, after the Federal prohibition enforce ment act had diminished the supply of liquor, are once more in the in crease, according to figures given out by l.. E. Ross, of the bureau Of vital statistics of the California State Boord of Health.
 The year 1920, in the belief of Ross, marked the nadir of the liquor traffic as well as the number of deaths attributed to alcoholism That was because, Ross believed, the boot leggers had not yet become organ ized and there was little drink, legal or illegal, obtainable. But since that year, the figures indicate, therc has been a steady increase in the number of alcoholism deaths until, for the first eleven months of 1922, the total reached 1O2
 In 1917, said by Ross to have been an average pre-Volstead year, there were 240 deaths in the state from alcoholism. The next year due to the wartime regulation of liquor con- sumption, the number decreased to 192 and in 1919 it fell to 86 From the low point of 37 in 1920, there has been a gradual increase to 69 in 1921. The 102 deaths for eleven months of last year indicates, Ross said, that there has been more successful evasion of the provisions of the Volstead act.
 The State Board of Health has no figures on the number of deaths due to bad liquor, although in ten months of 1922, there were six deaths from wood alcohol poisoning and three from denatured alcohol.

a tour of investigation undertaken at the invitation of Premier Hughes.
 MT. Parker says that Queensland in 1922, under natural rainfall, had grown about twice as much cotton per acre as America, and that in two years it was expected Australia would produce all her own durango cotton seed. Meantime, great pre- cautions were being taken to avoid the introduction of the boil weevil. Production in Australia by white labor is cheaper than in America by black labor. There are also great prospects for cotton grown on ir- rigated lands.
 These two Lancashire experts vis- ited every state in Australia, covered 5000 miles by road and rail, and de- clare that the climate and soil in many districts are unsurpassed for cotton growing anywhere in the world.

ALASKAN IS SEEKING
 HIS MISSING MOTHER

Seeking mother he cannot remem- Der and father he has never seen, Robert Kearns, 20, is in Seattle to con- tinue nationwide search for his missing parents.
 Born in a box-like room in hotel operated by his mother in Douglas, Alaska, twenty years ago, Kearns was christened Vernon Deuscharn Fowler. His mother, harassed by the work of her establishment and the care of a small daughter, sent Kearns to his grandmother in Seattle in charge of neighbor woman, Eva Kearns.
 In Seattle the grand mother could not be found and Mrs. Keaxns took the child to New York Years passed and the grandmother could not be found. Denver, San Francisco and Portland were visited, all with the same result. aThe mother had vanished and the father, Harry Fowler was reported to be travelling with a road show in the western states. A month ago Mrs. Kearns returned to New York, and Robert continued his search alone.
 A faint clue to his mothers where abouts was given him when he heard that she had been divorced and had married a Seattle contractor named Hutchinson. So far the couple have not been found.
 Alaskans who may know of Mabel Fowler or Mabel Hutchinson, or the father, Harry Fowler, or the sister Fern, are asked to communicate with the boy at 21S Ninth Ave, Seattle.

WINTERS AS COLD AS
 EVER IN ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-There is lit tie change in the seasons year in and year out, according to MontrOse w. Hayes, meteorologist of the St. Louis station of the Weather Bureau.
 Forecaster Hayes declared the ire quent eXpression: ''It doesn't get as cold as it used to; we don't have heavy snows any more," possibly is due to the fact that experiences of childhood are more vivid.
 "The winters of our youth seemed at that time to be shot through with zero temperatures and to abound in heavy snows. In retrospect the acuteness of memory remains or fails in accuracy" he continued.
 "We have winters that are colder and summers that are hotter, but though these do not work exactly in cycles, they occur so rarely as not to disturb the average. The winters of 1884 to 1888 were very cold, colder than usual and the memory that sup ports the saying that winters now are not what they were maybe is of the persons whose youth was ill that period.
 'But the fact remains that the coldest winter in the memory of man in the Middlewest was the winter of 1917 and 191S"

RADIO AS HELP TO ENTOMBED
 COAL MINERS

p1TTSBURG, Feb. 6. - Penetration of the earth's surface by radio waves is the object of a series of experl- ments being carried on by the Pitts burg station of the United States bu- reau of Mines, in an effort to perfect it's life saving system.
 The idea back of the project is de- yelopment of a radio-phone that VIII allow rescuers to communicate with entombed miners when all other means of communication have been cut off by explosion or other accident Information from the interior or a stricken mine would be of the utmost service in guiding the rescuers and en- abling them to overcome the engineer ing problems presented, and many re- ouests have been received by the bu- reau to devise means to utilize Wlre- less methods for that purpose.
 The preliminary experiments were carried out by c. M. Bouton of the Pittsburg station, in conjunction with c. A. Boddie, E. c. Douglas and r. h. Fessler, of the Westinghouse Electro & Manufacturing Company, at the bu- reau's experimental mine in Bruceton, Pa.
 They found that signals from KDkA, a broadcasting station eighteen miles from the mine, were recorded by a receiver located inside the mine, and that it was possible to send and re- ceive messages underground through the strata. About 50 feet from the re- ceiving station in the mine was six inch bore hole from the surface, lined with iron pipe and containing electric light wires which extended through out the mine The presence of these wires. the report of the engineers said, evidently assisted greatly in the recep- tion, for when the receiving set was carried to another part of the mine removed from the wires the signals were barely audible through 50 feet of cover. The fact that the signals were detected, however, even though faintly, was taken as sufficient evi- dence by the engineers of transmits sion through the ground and to encour- age further experimentation.
 "The present preliminary expert ment," said the report in conclusion, while unsuccessful in indicating any practical method of using wireless waves for underground communica- tion, nevertheless indicate clearly that electromagnetic waves may be made to travel through solid strata. The absorption, or loss of intensity, with distance, is very great for the short wave lengths used in these expert ments. Longer wave lengths are known to suffer less absorption and may possibly be found practically eff fective under certain conditions.

INVENTION PROMISES
 SECRET AIR MESSAGES

STOCKHOLM, Feb. GA remark able machine which automatically turns radio telegrams into secret code at the sending station, and trans fers these messages into straight text at the receiving station, has been invented and is being tried out in Sweden, thus signalling lnother stride in the rapid advances made in wireless communication.
 The new machine, called a trypto- graph, in receiving the message as originally written by the sender and enciphering it mechanically, clim- mates the human factor of the code clerk, who is liable to error, and avoids the delays which have been costly annoyances under the old systems. One of the purposes of this machine is to make the message undecipherable by those for whom it was not originally meant if picked up while in the air, thus helping materially in the solution of the crucial problem of secrecy for radio messages.
 The cryptograph probably will be installed at the new high powered radio station at Grimeton, near Goth enburg, Sweden, designed for service between Scandinavian countries and America, which will be ready for use before the end of the year.
