its attention on the issues without
straining after the softly spoken
words of a bashful witness.
The Public Address System makes
use of vacuum tube ampiihcrs which
amplify the sounds picked up BY the
microphone and redistribute them
through projectors. The system is a
development of the Western Electric
Company and Bell Telephone Labora-
tories, and the present application in
the Brooklyn Court is the first time
il has served in the cause of Law and
Justice.

NATIVE SAMOANS
 FEAR OLD OATH
Ancient Superstition Persists
 in Islands

Apia, Samoa, July 27 Pl- White men who introduced the system of plotting land and the surveyors methods of defining boundaries, brought with them to Samoa the white mans training of administer ing oaths.
 So, officially, the native Samoan places his hand upon the Holy Bible to swear that title to a cer- tain piece of land belongs to him. But those who have lived here long know that at heart the native does not have the degree of fear when an oath is taken upon a Bible that he had for the old Samoan oath. Where grave issues are at stake he is apt to discard the modern form for the old one.
 While the old manner varied in the different villages the common rite was to- take a bunch of grass and lay 1t on stone or other ob- ject that represented the family or village God. The contesting parties would say with hand resting on the grass, Tn the presence of this whole assembly. I lay my hand on the grass, if I have declared falsely may

 Commissioner of Fisheries Harry R.

Latham of Mon- oeville, and John D. Alcorn of Gin Iinnati. Of these MT. Hildebrandt is considered likely to be most gener- lily favored by the liberals.
 Two of Senator Willis opponents re farmers and drys like himself. they are George L. Watson of Mar ngo, and Lloyd E. Price of Van Vert.
 While there are twelve republican andidates for governor, political eaders pick Secretary of State Thad I. Brown of Columbus; Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati: State Treasur- Harry s.

SARAJEVO STILL
 IS SLEEPY TOWN
Has Not Been Aroused Since
 World War

sarajevo, Yugo-Slavia, July 27 Pl-Twelve years have gone by since the crime that precipitated the world conflict was committed in Sarajevo, but the little Bosnian town remains as obscure and unpreten- tious as 1t was in the days when it was under the Turks.
 It has slept throughout the twelve years of Europe's reconstruction. unconscious of the mighty part 1t played in the war which left several nations in ruins. From the tops of its ''ninety-and- mine" minarets Turkish muezzins still call the faith ful to prayer, while thousands of un- believers do their daily tasks in the baZaars.
 Small Tablet Only Evidence.
 The only evidence the American traveller finds that the Austrian Archduke, Franze Joseph, was mur- dered here is a small tablet on a building near which the Austrian noble was shot down. American tourists invariably take out their cameras and photograph the spot.

 People are Indifferent
 The people of the town seem lethargic, indifferent and indolent. Many of them are Moslems who, un- affected by Turkeys example, still wear the time-honored fez prescrib- ed by Mahamet. They sit in their dimunitive bazaars, legs crossed, in- scrutable and imperturbable, seem- ingly unmoved by the tide of life and color which goes by.

It often happened that one making false oath would be seized with superstitious fear that would over come him or cause him to confess.

 Since the former Austrian pro- vince of Bosnia Herzegovina passed to Yugo-Slavia, Sarajevo has become increasingly attractive as tourist center.
 Nowhere In Europe does the American traveller find such har- monious blending Of East and West. The Moslems of the Orient rub el- bows with the Westerner of Europe. Peasant women, mounted on don- keys, with distaff in hand, and white-robed camel-tenders, with trains of their faithful beasts of burden following them, make their way slowly through the torturous streets, while modern American motor-cars shoot along the principal thoroughfares.

STORING APPLES.

A rather novel and successful means
of lengthening the life Of stored apples
has been discovered by Department OF
Agriculture Investigators. Most of US
have noticed how quickly the skin OF
stored apples tends to become brown
even before the flesh has decayed.
This trouble is known as scald. and is
especially bad on certain varieties
after having been in storage for some
time. 1t was found that If strips of
oiled paper were distributed among
the apples at the rate of about one
and a half pounds to a barrel Of fruit
the trouble was largely overcome. 1t
is believed that the clear mineral oil
in the paper absorbs some OF the
gases causing the discoloratton of the
fruit. Just how soon the paper will
become common enough to be avail
able to the smaller grower Is some
what of a question, as 1t takes time
for even a valuable practice to become
