ARGENTINE STILL
 REMAINS AT ODDS
Delegate Declines te Sign
 Havana Facts

cilable attitude of Dr. Honorio Pueyrredon, Argentine delegates, which has been indicated to be at odds with that of his government to- day continued to create stir in the Pan-American conference.
 Dr. Pueyrredon remained firm in his refusal to sign any convention to regulate the activities of the Pan- American union which did not con- tain direct reference to the necessity Of lowering excessive tariff barriers.
 Dispatches from Buenos Aires said the Argentine government was un- derstood to favor less intransigeant stand.
 Delegates regarded the issue as vital to the success of the Pan-Amer- tcan conference. Two schemes were introduced to seek the agreement of the Argentine government even if its delegate here refused to sign a con, vention.
 The Pan-American union commit tee had before it the last article of the convention which concerned the formalities of ratification of that document. Dr. Jacobo Varela of Uruguay suggested that this be so worded as to permit the agreement to so before the various parliaments for ratification, even if not signed by the delegates. He proposed that the president of tie conference might be allowed to send certified NAnta0 0f thn pf Itroaf1ty n the governments interested.
 Another suggestion was that the article be SO worded as to allow ad- herence to the convention at some later date by the governments whose delegates had not signed it at Ha- vanA.
 In these proposals delegates saw plainly the intention of saving the Pan-American union convention in case Dr. Pueyrredon should persist in his attitude. They were encour- aged in their efforts by the fact that although Dr. Pueyrredon apparently remained intransigeant, indications were becoming more and more con- crete that the Argentine government was weighing the disadvantages of not signing the convention.
 Over, the objection of the United States, the committee on public in- ternational law approved by q vote of II to { the classification of armed merchantmen as Warships.
 The United States delegates point cd out that this proposal was revolu- tionary and absolutely contrary to actual maritime practice and that therefore 1t could not be included in . project which was designed to codify universally recognized inter- national law.
 A plenary session was summoned for late this afternoon to consider the final reports of several commit tees. These included:
 Report of the cmomittee on econ- omic problems, relative to interna- tional aspects of immigration prob- lems.
 Report of the committee on econ- omic problems relating to the con- vocation of conference to study problems dealing with the protection of trade marks in American coun- tries.
 Conclusion of the committee on intellectual cooperation recommend- ing the publication of a dictionary of the Spanish language. edited by Ruflno J. Cuervo, Colombian intel lectual.

Ring Equipment South

All the paraphernalia Gene Tunney
used in preparing for his title defense
against Jack Dempsey last fall was

Along with the shipment went Lou

Four Big-League Clubs
Bid for Bruce Caldwell

Bruce Caldwell, the Yale football
hero, may develop into the much
sought after college baseball player of
the year before he hangs up his toys
in June.
The Yankees, Griffmen, Giants and
Robins, are very much interested in
Caldwell, and it is said that the Yam
KEGS have Caldwell's word that be
will let them have priority claim on
his services If he elects to play pro-
fessional baseball.
1 Caldwell, however, has been care
full not to do anything to injure his
amateur standing and cause a recur-
renee of the incident which caused
him to be barred from the Princeton
and Harvard football games last fall.
He was barred for having played two
games with the Brown Freshmen In
1923.

The outright purchase Of Herman
Layne, outfielder, from the Pittsburgh

At Least, Minds Were
on the Right Track

When men invade the realm of
women in ladies' apparel shops often
the scene resembles that created by
the proverbial bull in the china shop.
The clerks of one downtown store tell
about two young men who desired to
buy hosiery.
"What color" asked one of the
other in reply to the clerks question.
snow, what color did she ask that we
get?" And the pair grew quite per-
picked.
"Oh, yes, 1 remember. We want
that shade called buckshot."
mo, no, not buckshot was it,"
questioned the other. Wasn't it shot
gum"
"Now," queried the clerk helpfully,
edo you mean you want gunmetal?"
"Yeh, that's it. Gunmetal. Gosh,
we missed it a mile, but we were on
the right track anyhow" the two re-
piled in chorus, laughing at their own
mistake.-Indianapo News.

Human Brain Waves
Like Those of Radio

Able Moreau, one of the greatest
scientists in France, declares that
autobiography and mental telepathy
seem to be identical processes.
Scientists" he says, think today
that the various waves in the atmOs-
phere are of an electric nature at
their base, and that all atoms, In
GLIDING those forming our brains, emit
waves similar to those sent out by
radio stations, and that they are ca
pable of influencing appropriate re-
ceivers.
According to our capacity we re-
ceive-generally without knowing 1t
an infinite number of radiations of
all sorts that affect our brain cells,
and, by their intermediary, our in
telligence and our nervous system;
and in the same way solar activity
acts not only on individuals but on
all people at the same time. l showed
as far back as 1910 that the great
wars always followed large sunspots."

set up A. A. q. records for the 1000
yards and one mile which still stand.
But only three years ago, he equaled
the American performance of Nurmi
In running a mile in 4 minutes II sec
onds. Nurmi, however. is credited
with the world record of 4:10.6.
When Nurmi went back to Finland
with about all the American marks
shattered, Ray dropped out Of COM
petition and became a taxi-driver, as
he needed fresh-air job. He tired
of this, so he went to the Gary steel
mills, seeking job which would add
weight and muscle to his slight
frame. He has been there ever since,
and when indoor track training be-
gan this winter, Joie was back In
harness.

Too Much Ukulele
Costs Rockies Job

Walter Shaner, weak first
baseman, and one of the best
hitters in the Eastern league.
has been sent back to the mi
nor leagues by the Red Sox be-
cause he has such a musical
disposition.
Shaner, a big fellow, broke
into the Eastern league in 1923
with Springfield while Patsy
Donovan was manager. He act
ed like a toe dancer on nearly
every throw he handled until
Donovan could stand the strain
no longer and put Walter into
the far reaches of the outfield.
But Shaner could hit. He went
to Cleveland from Springfield
and finally landed with the Red
Sox. There he proved a uku-
lele expert and even brought
his uke from the clubhouse to
the bench. Bill Moore, catcher
with a sweet voice, teamed up
with Shaner. They entertained
the other players as we'll as
themselves, but in doing so hit
a sour note in Bill Carrigan's
makeup, and both have been
shunted down to Mobile.

The Failure

Judge Molynoux of Minneapolis
told at luncheon a story about a
brother judge.
"My confrere," he said, "was pass
ing sentence on a criminal the other
day and spoke of him as a profess
sional burglar, but the man protested
warmly from the dock.
"'Here, judge, yer HONOR he said,
4 don't know what yer drivin' at
when We call me professional bur-
glar. I've only burgled once before,
and they nabbed me both times
"'Oh,' the judge answered suavely,
Z did not mean to say that you were
eminent in your profession"
