RACE FANS HEAR
AS WELL AS SEE

An innovation in automobile race
announcing made distinct sensation
at the Flag Day races at Altoona. A
Public Address System was the means
whereby Starter Fred Wagner's voice
was easily and distinctly heard
throughout the throng that jammed
the grandstand at the Speedway when
Jimmie Murphy won the International
25O-mile automobile race.
Wagner's voice was carried above
the noise OF sixteen cars roaring
around the great wood bowl and the
cheers and chatter of $4,000 fans gath
cred to witness the classic. Thus the
crowd was instantly and fully in.
formed as to all the incidents of the
race-incidents that ordinarily many
would neither see nor know about.
The Public Address System consist
ing Of microphone, vacuum tube
anplifer. control units, projectors and
storage batteries to supply electrical
energy was mounted on REQ truck.
Amplificationists of the Western Elec-
trio Company manned the truck, which
was parked inside the oval directly
behind the timers Office. The micro
phone was mounted at the starters
position, where 1t picked UP the start
er's voice, transmitted it by wires to
the vacuum tube amplifier on the
truck whence. after being amplifed
thousands Of times, it was carried by
wires to groups of horns mounted on
poles erected in front Of the grand.
stand. From these horns the speak
er's voice was clearly and uniformly
distributed over the area where the
fans were seated.

CrieUes to Death When
His Wife Disappears

Atlantic City. N. J.-After grieving
for weeks over the mysterious disap-
pearance Of his wife, from whom he
never before had been separated In
their fifty years Of happy married life.
Peter K Palmer Of 4O5 Trinity ave
nue., this city, died in the home that
had become desolate to him.
Palmer, who was seventy-two years
old, refused to be comforted by friends.
He would not eat and sat virtually
every night watching the front door Of
his home for the return of his life
companion. He was found dead Ii his
chair facing the door recently.
Mrs. Mary Palmer, seventy. the wife,
disappeared Oh May g. She told her
husband she was going to Philadel-
phia to attend the funeral of brother,
but she may never have arrived In that
city. as a thorough search by police
failed to reveal any trace Of her there.
The Atlantic City police combed
every section Of this city at the re-
quest Of neighbors Of the Palmers, who
were touched by the aged mans grief.

Seals Menace Salmon
Fishery Of Pacific

Vancouver, B. C.-Destruction Of
one-sixth to one-third Of the average
spring salmon pack in the Fraser riv-
er by hair seals has caused local fish,
ermen to fear the fish Will become
extinct and q large revenue be lost.
4 So clever are the seals that It Is q
race between them and the fishermen
every time a bobbing cork ON the net
shows salmon has struck 1t. The
seals generally win.
Wolflike, q seal goes for the throat
Of a fish, and usually q head is all
that is left In the net. Fishermen
have tried spreading "blind" net, to
protect the actual fishing net, but the
seals. evidently learning the trick,
drive salmon into the net to make
capture easier.
Not only do seals live on salmon, but
when their hunger is appeased. they
kill for sport, tossing the fish out of
the water as cat plays with a mouse.
A seal can throw 3O-pound salmon
clear Of the water, the fisherman de-
clares.

DO METHODS AFFECT MILK cows

1t has been shown in experiments of
the past, especially trials conducted
by E. B. Forbes at Ohio, that milk
cows, especially heavy mixers, are
usually in negative calcium balance
where loss of calcium from the body
occurs. This was even true when alfal-
ia hay was used in the ration
The problem has been further stud
led under the dire elton of Mr. Hart;
and in the earliest experimental work
conducted with three COWS. placed first
upon ration of grain, silage, dry al
falfa hay, and later upon the same
grain ration plus green alfalfa hay,
the results were then contrary to
those made by the previous investiga-
tors. A positive calcium balance was
obtained on dry alfalfa hay. This is
in harmony with the theory that green
material has more abundant supply
of the vitamine assisting in calcium
storage.
In order to verify the work another
trial, modified to some extent, was
carried on Three cows were again
used and fed on definite rations as
follows: Cd on silage and grain mix
ture plus timothy hay; ca on grain,
silage, and dry alfalfa hay; and 60
on grain, silage, timothy hay, and
steam bone meal On all of these ra-
tions negative calcium balances were
observed, which was in agreement
with the work of the earlier investi-
gators and contrary to the results of
the pevious year
In tracing the history of the alfalfa
hays used in these two experiments,
it was found chat the one by which a
positive calcium balance was establish
ed had been cured under caps and not
exposed unduly to the weather. The
second alfalfa hay used had been
cured on the Hill Farm in the wind

of curing lies the cause of the differ
ence obtained in the results of the
feeding trials and that the method of
