1000 JOIN IN SEARCH
 FOR MISSING DEPUTIES
Disappeared Last Tuesday With Two Prisoners En Route to State
 Reformatory

Lafayette, Ind, Feb. 1T UP)- More than 1000 special deputies continued search today for Deputy Sheriffs Wallace Mcclure and John P. Grove, missing since early last Tuesday when they left with two prisoners for the state reformatory at Pendleton, Ind.
 Belief that the two deputies were murdered by their prisoners grew as extensize search revealed no trace of either the officers or the prisoners.
 Mcclure and Grove left here Tues day with the prisoners, Samuel Bax- ter and John Burma handcuffed to- gether in the rear seat of an auto mobile.
 The automobile, its windshield shattered and marked by several bullets, was found in garage at Decatur. H.. Saturday. Location of the bullet holes led to the belief tho two officers had been shot from the rear of the car.
 Baxter and Burns, under sentence for robbery. were last seen in Dan- vile, Ill.,, Tuesday when they called at the home of Otto Smith. an uncle of John Burns.
 Residents along the highway be- ported having heard shots Tuesday tween Lafayette and Pendleton re- morning. 4 hat said to have been identified as Groves. WIS found . few miles south of Lafayette.
 Sheriff Charles Johnson. in charge of the searching parties, said the de- tailed search of all buildings. ponds creeks and wooded tracts would be continued until the missing deputies were found.

Five Cent Loaf of Bread
 Returns to Philadelphis

Philadelphia, Feb. l4 N - The five-ceut loaf of before the war" returned to Philadelphia yesterday and, like the prodisal son. 1t was welcomed with open arms.
 The first reaction of housewives to the advertised return of the i've cent loaf was skeptical and they went to the stores carrying copies of the advertisement
 Omcials of the chain store cor poration making the reduction said that ''bread was never lower than five cents and now it is back to the pre-war price," During the war the price was seven cents . loaf and in January. 1927. it was reduced to six cents.

New York. Feb. II R>-Engineers of tho Bell Telephone laboratories have prepared . trap for persons who feien deafness.
 Utilizing several principles of psychology. they have developed a new method of testing hearing which in it's operation Is quite in- dependent of the accuracy or truth fulnes of'the subjects responses An improved audiometer that per- mits the test tones to be switched to either ear or to both is the me- chanical factor in the method. A few tricks of the psychologist do the rest.
 "For instance" says W. L. Betts of tho laboratories' apparatus de- velopment department. If a loud tone sounds in the left ear, the left eye blinks ever so slightly. although the patient may claim that all is silent as Sahara"
 Conduction of sound by the bones of the skull is another means of in- vestigating asserted deafness.
 At more or less definite vol ume," Betts explains, sound im- pressed on one ear will be conducted to the other 50 that were a person totally deaf in one ear he could hear by bone conduction to the other when a tone of sufficient loudness was applied to the deaf ear.
 Another effective test to avoid misrepresentation by the subject is to have him read aloud from a book in his natural voice while a tone Is switched from ear to ear. Use is then made of two facts of psy- chology that the sound of ones voice is necessary for the regula- tion of his voice intensity, and that ones own voice can be drowned out by 8 loud tone. A person of normal hearing in both ears will not change the volume of his voice as the tone is switched back and forth because, at all times, he has one ear with which he can hear himself talk. He will raise his voice and almost shout, however, when the tone is switched on both ears at the same time, as when his own voice is drowned out. Were the subject actually deaf in one ear he would raise his voice every time the tone was put on the one ear in which he could hear.
 "A similar test may be used for a person claiming deafness in both ears When the tone is switched on and off both ears. the voice inten- sity will vary with the tone If the reader is actually able to hear. If he is not, switching the tone on and off will have no effect on his read ing.
 Where deafness Is claimed in one ear. the tone may be switched at different intensities rapidly back and forth from one ear to the other. The subject is supposed to signal every time he hears a sound and because of the rapid changing from car to ear with the accompanying variation in volume . false claim soon becomes apparent. To signal truthfully every time . sound is heard is almost an instantaneous act but much more time Is required if one has to stop to decide in which ear the sound occurred and then to

PROBER FOR LESLIE
EmSIey Johnson Is Mum on
Updike.

Emsley w. Johnson, special pros
ecutor in the Marion county cor
rution probe last year, will vote for
Harry G. Leslie for Governor be-
cause Leslie Republican and so
is Johnson.
He pointed this out in plea for
the G. o. P. ticket and Leslie at
a Washington township rally at
Sixty street and Ashland
avenue Thursday night.
A United States senator might
die and a Democratic Governor
would appoint Democratic success
sor who might not believe in the
tariff. This was one of Johnson'S
reasons for supporting Leslie.
He told of his work with the jury,
which indicted Governor Ed Jack
son and George v. Coffin, now Re-
publican district chairman and big
Leslie booster. He said at one time
that Coffin wasn't for Leslie and
that is another reason why he
(Johnson) is for him.
Nothing was said by Johnson of
Ralph Updike, candidate for re-
election to congress, whose patron
age contract with D. G. Stephenson
was found in the black boxes into
which the jurymen peered under
Johnson's guidance.
After Johnson finished speaking,
however, William Bosom took the
floor and said word for Updike.
