THE resonant
quality Of the voice plays a big part
through the micrOphOne Just as II
does in ordinary conversation, but
resonance is only half the secret
of effective broadcasting," Mr.. Nc
Millen contends. 1.-The man whOss
voice is lacking In radio quality
can substitute carefully construct
ed speech. Short sentences made
up of simple words are the most ef-
fective. If long sentences are used.
and few are always necessary for
the sake of variety, they should be
made compound. A compound sen
tence IS more simple than a com
plex. The beginning and ending OF
paragraphs should be made Of
short, pithy sentences packed with
thought.
"a mOnOsyllable with a long
vowel is harder to pronounce sharp
ly than a syllable with a short
vowel Listeners cannot see the
periods by radio. The speaker must
make them evident. This can be
done, if words are chosen for the
beginning and end Of sentences
that are sharply defined. Words
are clearest and most easily pro
nounced that end in sharp conso-
nants such as p in handicap T.
in overlooked and t. in pursuit
Words must be carefully chosen.
OF a group Of synonyms there al.
ways is one that is most easily
and clearly pronounced. That is
the word that can travel best the
invisible lanes of the air"

 Given By Harrison
(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY. Ala, May 23.-The Gainesville detour case was submitted to the supreme court today, the final argument in the case being made by W. B. Harrison of Birmingham, on behalf of the complainants. The court now has the case under advisement.
 The case has attracted widespread interest over the state, growing out of the attempt of the state highway com mission, through the action. of Chair man John Rogers and Commissioner J. F. Suttle, comprising majority of its members. to detour the Eutaw-Living- ston highway via Gainesville, home town of Chairman Rogers, the detour increasing the distance between Eutaw and Livingston seven miles over the direct route via Boligee and Epes.
 The case was appealed from the Montgomery circuit court, where Judge Leon McCord decided it in favor of the highway commission, dissolving the temporary injunction which had been secured in Jefferson circuit court by citizens of Boligee and vicinity against the building of the detour. The tenn porary injunction was later reinstated by Judge McCord pending appeal of the case, and work on the project is held

Old Age Fastened
 by Stomach Troubles

Premature old age is robbing the country of it's youth and much of the gloTy that comes from youths vigorous life. Old age Is to be honored and esteemed only when reached naturally. It is the young-old people who are standing in their own light; ignore the importance of their own health and grow old while still young, In tracing the real cause of early aging to it's sources, nearly every case will show that an affected stomach is responsible. Whether 1t is indigestion, chronic con- stipation, impoverished blood, rheuma- tism or skin diseases, the fact remains that the stomach has not functioned as nature intended and that the developed poisons and excess acids have been talk en up by the system, instead of being properly eliminated.

DELEGATION MAY
 BEUNINSTRUCTED
But Mississippi Likely To Vote For Underwood
 In Convention

JACKSON, Miss, May 23.-(Spe- ciaI. )-Democrat in four of the S& counties in Mississippi indorsed United States Senator Pat Harrison for Presi- dent yesterday. The counties were Forrest, Hancock, Harrison and Jack son. From the early report today of the county convention yesterday, Sena- tor Oscar Underwood of Alabama won only two county delegations, Claiborne and Warren. Virtually all counties sent uninstructed delegations to state convention.
 Forrest county, although indorsing Senator Harrison for President, sent an uninstructed delegation to the state convention for May 30. Hancock, liar rison and Jackson instructed for liar rison. Among the counties officially reporting delegations which will vote for uninstructed delegations to the na- fionaI convention are as follows:
 Adams, Atalla, Bolivar, Calhoun, Clark, Clay, Copiah, Jefferson, Jones, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lee, Madison, Nox- ubee, Panola, Pearl River, Sunflower, IgHVashingtoaes Wayne, Webster and YazOO. iaea
 There is little doubt as to the re- mal0lUk COunLAtS cAhSC s@sV ASPSAS NA.-S two instructed for Underwood, four in structed for Pat Harrison as favorite son, and g needed the advice of Sena- tor Harrison and sent uninstructed dele gations. o-
 The prospective declaration of the party against an instructed delegation, however, does nottnecessarily mean that Mississippi delegations will oppose the Alabama senator. On the contrary, political leaders are rather of the opinion that the state vote, may go to the Alabama candidates under the unit rule and that Mississippi will favor him with several ballots if there is shown prospects of victory for him in the national gathering.
 Candidate Visits City-Dr. J. c. Waller of Yazoo City, candidate for Congress in this district, is spending the day at the capital. Thus far Dr. Waller and Jack Greavess of Canton are the only candidates formally announced for the seat held by Congressman Col Her. It is assumed, of course, that the latter will be an aspirant for reelection. Nothing has been heard recently from other prospective candidates, which are Mrs. David McLauren Stevens of Bran

The man carrying it would be set down as q serious, su- perior, probably worried person, up to his neck in litigation and money. But when one opens it one finds rank after rank of silver flasks, of different sorts and sizes
 "No matter what may be the occa- sion, there is flask to fit" explained the clerk.
 There is little flask for quick drink with friend, and sort of an eyeglass case flask which fits in the upper waistcoat pocket and which car ries just one good shot for personal use. The bearer may, if he wishes, till the various flasks with various liquors and mix every known drink when he gets to a haven.
 The liquor case for automobile use is fairly well known, of course. There is one in a show-window near the Plaza that carries vacuum bottles, flasks for the different liquors needed in producing first rate, death-defying joy ride, cocktail shaker, nests of silver drinking cup, a water-tight ice box, and half dozen other trinkets of the same sort.
 "Seem to be doing good business in this sort of thing" said.
 The clerk said that when prohibition first came in the firm made mistake. They closed out their supply of aids to drinkers at cut rates. Then they had the dickens of time stocking up again.
 "Even now" he said, ''it is all we can do to get all we can sell of them drinkers articles. The demand is in
