Best Way to Use Phone

Telephone companies for many years
have reiterated the advice that users
should talk directly into the transmit
ter, but recent tests have for the first
time set forth ifAconcrete terms the RE-
suit Of disobeylng the injunction. It
was found that 10 talk with the Lips
six inches from the transmitter was
equivalent to inserting another 200
miles Of line between the speaker and
the listener The best results were
obtained. the tests disclosed, when the
mouth was only ,-haIf inch from the
transmitter and facing directly into it,
thus avoiding detection Of sound

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The de-

in California against the foot and

plans, DIR. y. G. Houck of the bureau
of animal industry stationed at Sacra-
mento, Cal, will direct both federal
and state forces in the fight against the
plague.
Meanwhile a movement has started
in Congress to combat unnecessary EN-
bargoes against California fruits and
vegetables because of the epidemic. A
conference, headed by Senator Short
ridge of California, was held at the
capitol Wednesday at which it was said
that ''in all of the six outbreaks in the
United States not once has infection
been traced to any product of the soil"
An official government statement on
this matter is being prepared which
will be broadcast to all parts of the
country in an effort to have states adj
joining California lift their ban on its
fruit and vegetable products.

Roy Leona of Brooklyn, N. T., con-
fessed Monday night that he fired the
shots that killed Gaines, and efforts

to Independence to rob a bank. The
robbery was frustrated when Gaines
was aroused and was killed in a gun
battle with one or more of the bandits.
1t has been declared by Lieutenant
Governor johnson, :1embo: of the
board of pardons, a special meeting of
the board has been planned before May
8, to hear last minute appeal by coun-
sci for the condemned men. The board
has the power to recommend clemency.
Gaines was killed May s, 1921. The
defendants were tried, convicted, re-
tried after an appeal to the supreme
court and convicted a second time. The
supreme court upheld the second con-
fiction.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Chem-
lists and physicists have combined to
conjure up world even more fantastic
than that portrayed in Swift's Lilli-
putia.
The solar system, with it's planets
revolving about the sun in their in
evitable orbits, is produced in minia-
ture in each atom on scale invisible
to the naked eye, according to the
theory of atomic structure on which
the two branches of natural science
are now agreed.
This agreement, ending a long stand
ing division of opinion. was revealed
in addresses here Tuesday before the
thirty-seventh annual convention of the
American Chemical society, by Prof
Robert A. Millikan, winner OF the
Nobel prize last year. and Prof. Gil
bert n. Lewis of the University Of
California.
Now To Be Used
And now that the cartoonist and
.quip producer have had their merry
day with the Einstein theory of rela-
tivity. the time has come when it will
be put to practical uses. For in the
measurement of this fantastic world of
in finitesimal dimensions, greatest ac-
curacy is required, and it is here that
the Einstein theory excels.
The development of what might be
termed the solar theory of atom con-
struction largely is due to the work
OF physicists with their chemical
brethren being brought around to this
revolutionary viewpoint.
Until recently, the chemists held that
the atom was made up of electrons ar
ranged in concentric cubes around their
atomic center. These electrons were
stable-they did not move.
On the other hand, the more
imaginative physicist evolved the theory
that each atom was little world in it
self, with sun called a nucleus, and
