SOCIETY ASKED
To STOP HOUN'
BAY|NC MOON
Much Time Wasted on
Unreasonable Calls,
Says Secretary.

Hours Of valuable time are wasted
each month by the San Antonio Child
Protective and Humane Society in
tracing down unreasonable calls.
The public makes numerous requests
in cases where the society has no
authority to act, according to Miss
Lucy c. Smithers, executive secretary
of the organization.
Some also have the idea that the
society is operating a hotel. Recently
two boys and a man making a cross
continent trip on foot wanted the
Humane society to provide free meals
and sleeping quarters for them while
they spent a few days touring the
city, Miss Smithers said.
DOG HOWLS.
A dog which had a particular liking
Cor bowling at the moon, also caused
ncighbors to appeal to the Humane
Society. The dog, which disturbed
the complainant's roomers, only barked
when there was a full moon and they
wanted the society to make the owner
take the canine away when the moon
was at its largest stage.
The society can't control the moon
nor the dogs indignation at its full
ness, Miss Smithcrs explained.
Recently group of children, an
gcrcd when a woman refused to let
them hold a circus on her adjoining
lot, laid down a barrage of rocks on
her home. ...
FIGHT 1T OUT. "
The society was asked to dispatch
troops to the scene to quell the dis
turbancc. As the organization does not
maintain military forces, the fight
was left up to the two groups.
A boy started to the grocery with
80 cents to buy sack Of flour.
On the way he lost a quarter. His
mother administered a good whipping.
A neighbor reported that the boy
was being numerically beaten.
The boy was found to be none the
worse after the ordeal by an agent
Of the society.
The call, however, required nearly
two hours time.
These are just samples of scores
that some in weekly, Miss Smithers
said.

SCIENCE FINDS
WAY To TELL
DECREE Of
HUMOR
Jury Of Professionals Finds
Many Modern Jokes
Entirely Dead.
By BESS CARROLL

Have you sense of humor?
Certainly! Did you ever know any.
one who wouldn't admit-under tbs
proper pressure, Of course,-tha1
they weren't endowed with this par
ticular quality? People admit a sense
of humor almost as readily as they
concede that they have a good dis
position, flock of conquests, or the
smartest baby in town.
But does your funny bone Tor what
ever it is that makes you laugh)
need adjusting? 1t may!
Yessir, there was just been investig-
atoms of the funny bones Of hundreds
of so-called humorists, and many OF
them (the funny bones, not the
humorists) were found dislocated or
out Of joint. In fact a convention
just closed at the University of South
ern California to diagnose humor.
Private opinion on jokes were once
the only ones permitted, but now
whole lectures are being written about
this question. And it's all because
such a funny thing happened lately
national convention of humorists, in
Guiding comic strip editors, profess
sional laugh-makers and others en-
gagged in some sort of funny-business
who conferred for the purpose of de-
Gliding just what is funny. This jury
of professionals held an autopsy over
the jokes of today and pronounced
many of them quite dead.
After science had discovered the i'm
portant fact that many jokes are not
funny, humor tests were developed and
are now being used in colleges. Brave
students can now determine whether
they are sane or unsound in this par
ticular. Ut is hoped that budding
after-dinner speakers will benefit from
the tests).

WALES CELEBRATES
CROSSING EQUATOR
Initiation Into Neptune's Realm
Is Signalized by Fancy
Dress Party.
By the Associated Press.


H. M. s. REPULSE, OFF SOUTH.
WEST AFRICA, April % Cby wireless
via Walvis Bay).-The ceremonies of
initiation into Neptune's realm being
concluded and the 900 novices aboard
the Repulse fully recovered from the
ordeal attendant upon their first
crossing of the equator, the ships
company yesterday gave themselves
over to festivities which continued
throughout the night.
A fancy dress affair was held, and
proved most successful, with the
Prince of Wales taking an active part
in the proceedings. The charms of
the ladies present were irresistible
and the prince had many a hearty
laugh over the antics of the be.fur-
beloved sailors.
Wales had several dances with these
charmers and then awarded the
prizes for the best costumes. Later
he took charge of the drums In the
band.
Wales Turns to Poetry.
LONDON. April 2o.-The verse
which the Prince of Wales wrote on
the battle cruiser Repulse as the war
ship bearing him down the African
Coast from Lagos crossed the equator
yesterday has been made public
When Father Neptune presented an
address offering the prince the hand
of his daughter" a green-gowned
sailor lad with a fighting" face, the
prince responded with this verse:
II thank you for your kind suggestion
About your beautiful princess;
But may ask you just one question
Where in hell did she get that
dress?'
But, in spite of all, I'm forced tc
spurn her,
Though your offer makes me
proud.
Yes, my king, 1 must return her:
Pets on board are not allowed"

The other speaker was William c.
Sturgis. educational secretary of the
department of missions of the Epis-
copal Church. He has just returned
from a survey of Episcopal missions
all over the world and concluded his
tour in Japan. He said:
Church Stabilizing Force.
Missions in Japan have become of
such paramount importance in the in
ternational situation that they have
to be taken into account. Christianity
is a vital factor in international life.
II do not mean to be funny. / only
mean to tell the truth when 1 say
that the world today is in hell of
mess. 1t is place of greed, sus-
picion, threatened wars, rebellion and
lust. In the midst of all this chaos
stands the only stable institution in
the world-the Christian Church.
There is no nationalism in the church.
1t is essentially international. Its
membership - this denomination of
ours--is 20,000,00O people, in a dis
ordered world. Where the American
flag floats, where the standard of the
British Empire is. there stands
great stabilizing force.
nat OiSC "a obooiilty has lctclNcu
a blow and it's force is felt all over
the church. The body has been
wounded-badly- 1t must be heal
ed. We've let Is months go by. We
can waste no more time.
Il have seen the quality of the
Christians being produced in japan,
and it has made me think that some
time Japan will be sending men to
the United States to Christianize our
church here.
Needs Spiritual Force.
when I was there this last time I
saw churches and schools in every
ward in Toxic. They were develop
ing Christians of a great type, despite
inadequate facilities. Twenty years
ago when I was there saw Japan as
a beautiful lady, a lady of art and
ideals. When l went back Japan had
lost everything but her beauty She
is a land of material progress. She
lacks spiritual force. She needs the
ideals of Christianity. She's today
the leader of the Orient in things ma
terial. She's capable of leading it
spiritually, and that's the reason for
our missions there.
"A comparatively small number of
Japanese university men are leaders
of their nation. We must get back
to work to send more Christians
through their universities. through
our work with the lower schools,

even down to the kindergarten.
Those people are literally giving
of their penury to have their missions
continued. We must give of our
plenty.
THE Senate of the United States
has almost completed our undoing.
Our work now is doubly hard and
doubly important to restore the wan
ing faith the japanese have in u.s."

CALHOUN TAKES

MURDER TRIAL
Much Past History Dug
Up In Fight for

Trial of Jim Calhoun, charged
with the murder of Jean Hudson in
this city on December 20, 1924,
continued to occupy the calendar III
Department No. l of the superior
court today.
Calhoun was on the stand for q
part of the morning, being cross ex-
amined by District Attorney Utley
regarding the testimony which he
gave Yesterday afternoon.
AS on other days during the trial,
the courtroom was crowded, the ma
jority of spectators being colored
residents from the east side. Seve-
raj eolored families, apparently
from out of town, have been bring
ing their luncheon to the trial, eat
ing it in the courtroom during the
noon hour, to insure retaining their
seats for the trial.
1t was stated at the district at
tornev' office that arguments of
counsel will hardly be started before
Thursday, as there are still seve-
raj witnesses to be heard.
Calhoun took the witness stand
in his own defense yesterday after
noon, and told the story of trouble
between his family and Jean Hud-
son, extending over the greater
part of two wears. He denied that
he had ever made any threats
against Hudson s life. and III res
ponse to questions by his attorney,
specifically donicd having threaten
ed to kill Hudson on the occasion
of tho coon hunt two years ago,
when Hudson had taken Calhoun $
dogs without the latter S permis-
sion.
He maintained that he was un-
able to recall any of his actions
Just previous to, or during the time
of tho shooting of Hudson, ror of his
movements, subsequent to the
shooting He also denied that in
going into Mexico, where he was
arrested by Sheriff Gillett, he was
attempting to escape from the con
sequences Of his act, and asserted
it was only his intention to remain
away few days until things
blew over. -
A letter which Calhoun wrote to
his wife while he was in Bakers
field, was introduced as evidence
to support his contention that he
had tried to leave FL Centre, due to
trouble caused him by the city po-
lice and by Hudson.
Regarding his trouble with the
Ell Centre police, he asserted they
