that a. crystal detector set is not one

BILL TO PREVENT GAP

Committee Considers Proposal for

Echoes Of campaign talk Of several
months ago, centering about the pos

some morning to find itself without
a President, were heard yesterday in a
House elections committee. when 1t
turned its attention to a bill de-
signed to prevent such an occurrence.
The measure was introduced by Rep

and would provide that the Secretary of
State of the administration in power
would succeed to the presidency should
death or some disability remove the
President and Vice President-elect from
taking office. Cabinet officers, in a
designated order, would be in line after
the Secretary Of State.

on the surface of the crystal.
Care should be taken in handling
the crystal not to touch the surface
with the finger, as that will leave
an oily deposit on the surface of the
crystal which lessons it's sensitive
ness.
In many cases almost as good re-
suits can be obtained by the use OF
the many good fixed crystal detectorS
now on the market as with those OF
the adjustable variety.
The crystal detector finds its field
OF greatest usefulness in reflex cir

BERLIN, January Hot toddies,
doughnuts and carp were devoured
by the Berlin population New Year
eve in the largest quantities known
since the World War. 1t is estimated
that the bakers sold more than TO-
1000 "Berliner pfannkuchen," a
delicacy which is step-brother to the
doughnut. The difference is that the
usual hole in the center Is filled with
jelly.
Although carp, the German national
fishe, costs more than double
before the war, it was in such
great demand that it dominated
freight and canal boat shipments dur
ing the entire week. Fish dealers
reported sales aggregating 100000
carp.
