HOFF FILES SUIT
 AGAINST A. A. U.
Pole VauIter Charges Influence
 Against Him Here

Los Angeles, Sept. 80 LP-Thc Times says that Charles Hoff, Nor wcgian pole vault champion, has filed a suit for S100,000 against of ficials of the amateur athletic union charging that they have influenced United States immigration authorl- ties to order him from the country at the expiration of his temporary admission, October 15.
 Hoff said the suit was filed yes- terday immediately following receipt of a letter from Ben M. Day, com missioner of immigration, New York harbor. informing him that his ap- pication for an extension of a per init to remain in America had been denied and that it would be neces- sary for him to leave this country October 15.
 Hoff named as defendants W. C. Prout, F. W. Rubien, and R. S. Weaver. The first two are national officials of the A. A. L.. while Weav- CT, in addition to serving on the foreign relations committee of that body. is president of the southern Pacific division, The vaulter charges that since leaving New York in April he has not received any expense money, being forced to pay out sev- eral thousands of dollars to meet the engagements that the A. A. |. scheduled for him, the understand ing being that the A. A. |. would re- turn the money at the conclusion of his tour.
 The vault king at the time he turned professional recently with a dance and vaulting act on a vaude- vile circuit, charged that he was forced into professionalism in order to earn living.
 An attempt to take out naturaliza- ton papers brought the information that he must first return to Norway, Hoff said, and wait three years be- fore he can make application to be- come citizen of the United States.
 The A. A. |. suspended Hoff last May for falling to appear in a meet in San Francisco. Athletic union officials claimed they had barred Hoff from further competi- ton for his own good. alleging that their only other alternative was to profcssionalize him.

What Is Poise T?

"Poise." May told her younger
sister Alice, lis the art of being able
to sit perfectly still without moving a
muscle-being able TO balance a tea.

sandwiches in the other. without
dropping either-never looking dis
turbed, no matter what happens. II
some one rushes into your room and
tells you that your husband Is dead.
and you say calmly, oh. my dear.
how dreadful that shows you have
poise."
Alice was greatly impressed by this
expla nation, but she couldn't see how
it affected her very much. She Sc
cretly felt that people with poise must
be rather cold and inhuman and
strange.
Perhaps If May had told her some
OF the things which people with poise
do not do she might have come to
know more Of the value of poise.
Diana was talking to a group of
boys on the tennis court one day
when one of them teasingly remarked
that he was cherishing snapshot of
her.

simply with the desire to make some

nantly: Where did you get a. snap
of me? Give it right to me this in

"Of course won't, Di," answered
John. her admirer. I'm going to
keep it forever and ever
Di liked John. but now that she'd
demanded the picture she felt she
must stick to her guns.

smiling. You needn't be so hard
on me-

ately. although she knew all the time
she didn't at all, and held out her
hand for the picture.

Without another word he drew the
snapshot from his pocket and handed
it to her, while the other boys grinned
embarrassedly and shuff1ed their feet

Di seized the picture. still play

it away.
She turned on the crowd with a
forced gayety, II was just kidding,
anyway. John; you shouldn't take me
so seriously
But everybody had taken her seri-
ously enough to dislike the little
scene and the girl who played the
central figure in it.
Poor kid. she only acted that way
because she hadn't any poise. She
wasn't balanced and calm enough to
pass off the whole thing with the
laugh it deserved in the first place.

A Prescription

a simple prescription. 1t was this:
open the window: go to bed; keep
your nerve
The physician was the late DR.. T..
l.. Trudeau, still remembered and
loved as the founder of the Saranac
Lake Sanitarium for tuberculosis
Patients. Doctors have found out a
little more about tuberculosis since
DR.. Trudeau's day. but they haven't
improved much on that prescription.
And that prescription. by the way.
is good one for other ills than those
DR.. Trudeau was trying to cure.
Very sick people have tried it and
gotten well.
magic potion or drug about it, but it
has healed sick people.
Open the window. Try little fresh
air and sunlight. Don't sit around
and lag and droop in stuffy rooms.
And while you're about it. open the
window of your mind as we'll and look
for some new interests. open the
windows and let in the fresh air. Get
d little of ii into both your head and
your lungs
The next rule is for people who are
really physically ILL., lest Is KIND

But if YOU are not really physically
Ill but still needing a good prescrip-
ton. cut down the dose.
Change it TO read "RelaA." Or one
might take it literally for a least A
day. Get rested. \ great many ills
and difficulties are due to a few extra
drops of fatigue poison in the system,
Things seldom look quite so dreary
after good nap. Take Dr.. Trudeau' 5
word for it

world run itself foT a while. It will.

And. finally. keep your nerve The

1t takes but a few moments. per

we revel in the thoughts that memory

A famous physician was called in to
see a person who was very sick. He

II can't help worrying" she replied.

DR.. Annie May Hurd- Karrer.

Miss Annie May Hurd, A. B. and
NJ. s. from the University of Wash
ington. went TO the University of
California in 1918 and was assigned
to what became her first work for
the United States Department of Ag
riculture-an important investigation
at the experiment station at Berkeley.
The problem she was to solve was the
reason for the injury Of seed wheat
when il had been treated by the
method then widely used to prevent
smut. Farmers and scientists had
been puzzled over this injury, but
until that time no definite cause had
been discovered.
Miss Hurd found. s a result OF her
research. that under the conditions
of the Pacific Coast wheat fields the
grain became dry and brittle and In
thrashing the seed coats were broken,
allowing the entrance of a. fungicide
which killed the kernels. Also, when
the prevalent formaldehye process
for the prevention of smut was used
under certain conditions of storage.
the formaldehyde changed chemically
TO a stronger solution and the wheat
died. Miss Hurd's report on seed
Coat Injury and Niability of Seeds of
Wheat and Barley as Factors in Sus-
ceptibility to Molds and Fungicides"
laid the basis of an entirely new un-
derstanding of the problem.
These studies sound tremendously
technical, of course. but when the
practical application of even a single
discovery of the sort is considered il
wears very different aspect. 1t is in
the Workroom of the laboratory that
the life and labor of the crops of the
Nation is in the balance for success or
failure. 1t is here that the scientist
fights for knowledge of the micro
sCopic enemies of the farmer
Miss Hurd received her doctors de-
gree at California. and was called to
Washington to join the staff of the
Office of Cereal Investigations as as
sociate Psychologist in the ipvestiga-
ton of the resistance of cereals to
disease. She is one of a very few
thoroughly trained plant psychologists
in the department.. and her compe-
tency is attested by the difficulty of
the study she is undertaking.
