NORRIS SEIZES
 FORD MESSAGES
(Continued From Page One)

Continued From Page 0ne) insisted that North Carolina be guaran- teed its pound of flesh in any trans action for the disposition of Muscle Shoals that the government might enter into. rt
 Selfish Motive Apparent
 Kirkpatrick was obviously imbued with selfish motive. He expressed desire that Alabama be able to redouble it's wealth, but insisted that it not be at the disadvantage of North Carolina.
 To Senator Heflin of Alabama, who had asked that if North Carolina was entitled to its Duke was not Alabama entitled to its Ford, Kirkpatrick re- piled: Muscle Shoals, while in Ala bama, is the property of the people of the United States. North Carolina insists that it be given its share of the general return. By waterpower, North Carolina has become rich. For further development, we are dependent on Muscle Shoals"
 The committee will consider Mon- day the petition of the Alabama Power company that it be given an oppor- tunity to state it's case. It has an offer for the acquisition of Muscle Shoals. It is animated principally by a desire to defeat the Ford offer. .
 For the Alabama Power company knows that even if the Norris govern ment ownership bill prevails it will receive under lease the authority to control and dispense the power of Mus cle Shoals.

 MILITARY. POLICY
Takes Lesson From Unprspared- .e- ness In; World War

PITTSBURG, April 28sThe calling of another disarmament conference was advocated by Senator Frank B. Willis, republican, Ohio, tonight in an address ar the Grant Day dinner of the Ameri- can club. Senator Willis predicted the nomination of President Coolidge at the republican national convention at Cleveland and his election in Novem- Der. "g
 General John ]. Pershing, another speaker, outlined the nations military policy of building up the nucleus of an organization capable of expansion in time of peril into a great democratic citizen army.
 ,eThis task he said, .is the issue now closest to my heart because it fell to me especially to witness the ima potence of America for more than < a year after she accepted the gauge of battle in /the World war. It was my particular portion to realize how dan gerous was our risk and thoY close we drifted to irreparable disaster before the force of our hNrriedly, created ar mics could be brought to bear against martial enemy"
 Princess Cantacuzene, a Sranddaugh- ter of General Grant and Represent ative c. A. Newton of Missouri, were other speakers. During the day General Pershing was voted life member of the Pennsylvania Society, Sons of the American Revolution.

Dr. Bailey Claims Remedy
 For 7haW's Idiosyncrasises
A Few Minutes of Concentration a Day Would ,. Turn Trick He Says

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Stat- ic application of electricity to Harry K. Thaws thyroid gland would make him useful citizen, Dr. William J. A. Bailey. director of the American Efi- docrine Laboratories, of New York City, told the American society Friday. Friday.
 We sometimes wonder if we have made much real progress in the gener- ations since witch-craft was in vogue" Bailey declared. The case of Harry K. Thaw is bitter indictment of our medical knowledge. We still believe so- ciety must be protected by incarcer- ating the individual instead of curing him.
 . Would Transform Him
 "We know that. few minutes ionization a day of Thaws thyroid and some other complementary end6erine radiation would transform him into a useful citizen. The pity of it alone would spur, us on to vastly wider application of the newer knowledge now within the grasp of the laboratory worker"

U. $. RANKS THIRD IN NAVAL POWER,

Neglect Forced Country. Below Japan And Eng
 land, Says Shearer

NEW YORK, April 26.-Charses that neglect of the navy and failure to provide it with adequate fuel re- serves had so weakened it as to cause the United States to lose advantages gained at the Washington arms confer ence were made today by William h. Shearer, former navy, department ex- pert according to a statement to- DC published in the New York. Times to- morrow.
 Mir. shearer, torpedo boat and am phibian tank inventor, declared that. as a result the ratio of naval power was England, 5; Japan. 8, and Ameri- can, i. instead of American, D, England, 5, and Japan. g.
 The statement, Mr.. Shearer explained was given out in connection with his recent charge that figures on stored oil given out a week ago by Secre- tary Wilbur was misleading. He also pointed to the special oil conservation commission report to the President as further substantiation of his assertion that with the exception of 100000 barrels stored in Hawaii, the navy has no oil in reserve.
 The American fleet is outnumbered and outgunned by both the British and the Japanese, Mr.. Shearer said, adding that the British had 19 naval bases, the Japaneses many including several that are secret and that the United States has none.
 Five To One
 Compared with America, he said. the British are five to one in light cruiser strength and the Japanese 21la to 1. Against ..Tat,an'S 'S 25 fleet submarines. he went on, and England's IT, the United States has but six. He assailed the congressional rejection of Alameda, Cal, as a naval base in preference to Mare Island, saying that real estate interests and politics" had : put 1t oyer"

EX-POLICE CHIEF.
 UNABLE TOBREAK RUM INDICTMENT.
Seventy-One Defenants To
 Face Trial Monday At Mobile

MOBILE, Ala, April 26.-Two more attacks on the indictment charging II persons with conspiracy to violate the prohibition law were unsuccessful in federal court when Judge Robert T. Irwin overruled a demurrer filed by former Chief of Police Patrick J. O'Shaughnessy and sustained q demurrer of N. E.. Stallworth. special prosecu- tor, to a plea in abatement by Isa- dore Maisel, asking that his case be thrown out of the blanket indictment,
 The OShaughnessy demurrer set up 42 points against the indictment, among them being that only the nature of the alleged offense against the federal laws were charged in theindictment, that no actual offense or conspiracy to of fend was charged. and that the indict. nent was vague. Similar demurrers were filed by many of rhe other de fendants. The. demurrer was. submitted without argument and overruled.
 Wants Case Dismissed out because he was improperly indicted. made a plea through his attorney, Eos ter K, Hale, to have his case, thrown out because he was improperly desired. A demurrer to this plea was filed by Attorney StailWorth and the case ar gued at great length.
 hfaisei is described in the indictment as .Isadore Maisel, alias Ike Maisel-", Attorney Hale declared his client was only known as Isadore Maisel; had never been known as Ike Maisel, and consequently the indictment was incor- rect, and the case of Maisel should be thrown out.
 Y Set For Trial
 Unless, pleas of abatement are filed and granted, which is considered unlikely the conspiracy case will go to trial Monday morning.

Instead of permitting the scientist to deal with insanity cases, Bailey con tinued, the. courts permit those who study only the effects and not the causes of mental derangements, and further permit jury of twelve men, ignorant on the subject, to pass in judgment on the testimony of alienists, who always disagree.
 Points With Certainty s..
 Yet the student of erdocrinology,' Bailey said, ''can point with certainty to the factors involved in. d rational scientific manner. We have too long regarded insanity as purely, brain con dition. Its seat is unquestionably ia the endocrine glands, which absolutely con trol every brain function.p

The reason for this is not difficult to understand. There exists what radio engineers have termed the static level. It is nothing more t,or less than the amount of electric energy present in the atmosphere between your receiver and the station you desire to hear. On the evening when your receiver is working particularly we'll; there is very little static, or, to put in the other way, the static level is low. When this level is low, the small amount of energy reaching. your. receiver from the distant transmitter is greater than the energy your receiver picks up from the nat ural electric energy. In radio parlance, this condition is described as a favor able static-signal ratio. :.
 Where the electric energy in the at mosphere is greater than the energy reaching your receiver from the distant transmitter, the static level is high and the resulting condition is called an un- favorable static-signal ratio.
 There are many other natural ele- ments that enter into long distance re- ception, but the static level is by all odds the most important--even though the least understood.
