 THE QUEEN CONTEST
 From the very start keen inter- est was evinced in this feature of the proceedings, and the black board on the stage which, at short intervals chroniclcd the standing of the contestants, was eagerly scanned by the merry tnrong. Fluctuations began to be marked as the closing hour drew near and the voting toward the end was very heavy and spirited. A landslide along about midnight put Miss Martin in the lead with only slight advantage and from then on excitement was at it's height with some tense moments among the voters. A hush fell over the assemblage at the close of the voting and until the final count was taken and when Doe Kemp in stentofian tones announc- ed the result, a W;ld and hearty cheer rendered in true sportsman like manner, resounded thru the hall for Miss Ida Martin who won by a narrow margin, and when the glamour had ceased, Miss Martin was literally showered with con gratulations.
 After brief spell during which time the stage was set for the coronation ceremony the curtain went up disclosing Queen Ida seat ed on the ermine covered throne with Misses Madeline Calkins, kristie Sather. Helen Baldwin and Mrs. W. H. Cameron lined up on either side of her. Judge G. J. Lomen made the presentation in a neat speech to which Queen Ida sritably responded, The queen received a beautiful wrist watch studded with diamonds, Miss Cal kins who had the distinction of having the next highest number of votes received a beautiful gold brooch and each of the other con- testants was presented with a suit able souvenir. Shortly after the crowning ceremony which was also performed by Judge Lomen, Queen Ida by special request treated the audience to finished rendition of the Charleston which was loudly applauded. Dancing to the strains of the latest music rendered by the Syncopaters was resumed and kept up spiritedly until an early hour in the morning.
 Chairman Cliff Allyn, the chair men and members of all other committees and the Nome Kennel Club are to be congratulated on the conduct of the celebration It was marked success, both social Fl

CHICAGO. Dec. l3-When man de-
vtsed the light socket receiver he
took upon himself the solution OF
a real problem OF his own making.
II Is the conquering or man

While man has not made much
progress In the drive against at
mospheric static. he thinks he can
master something he has created
himself.
"Man-made" static. considerably
different in tempo" from that gen.
Grated in the air, gets its name
from the clicks. the crashes and
the miscellaneous noises and other
disturbances produced by motors,
warming pads. electric iceboxes,
light sockets, automatic telephones.
doorbellS and so and one other
electric shortcuts TO labor saving.
Probably the greatest offender Il
the motor. which takes many
guises In household appliances. II
Is used % drive vacuum cleaners,
washing machines. iceboxes, oil
heaters and Ehatnot. Most or the
trouble comes from sparkling brush
e.. whose blue discharge registers
via the receiver as a continuous
serious OF hum-like clicks.
ANY electric device that sparks
wherever a contact is made, such
as the turning on and off Of a
light. completes the list.
Naturally. with the AC receiver
connected directly 10 the house
lighting circuit. disturbances will
register easier than with the bat
terry set. Not only are clicks and
crashes that develop within the
house translated into sound. but
similar interference viii come from
outside sources. Even automobiles
with faulty ignition systems will
register as they pass the house.
Engineers have tackled the prob
fem by developing electric filters.
In the Leslie r. Muter laboratories
as well as elsewhere two types OF
interference eliminators have been
tried out. One consists OF two
heavy duty condensers. with the
center point grounded, to be con-
nected across the line furnishing
power TO the receiver.

Even in Texas in the past. the

against whom no suspicion Of

conduct has ever rested.
Take some OF the names. They are
lobbyists. since they are with the

clients are up for action.

Pres. II. ". Benedict every two
years IS a lobbyist in looking af-
ter the interests or the University

before the committees end work

| ing In the woods meets bear and
runs. He does not run, James said,
because he is afraid of the bear. He
runs because running is the natural
defense adjustment of the animal or
ganism to danger. Retreat from danger
is found far down i'll the scale OF lie
among organisms so lowly that there
can be no question Of an emotlonal
factor. 1t has been passed along in the
process OF evolution from lower to high
er forms. Nobody supposes that the
esrthworm retreats because it Is afraid.
It is only because the man runs from
The bear. James said, that he Is afraid.
Fear is the result of the physical action
of running. It in turn spurs the man
to run faster, and the faster he runs
The greater is his fear. until he has
escaped from the danger.
Now the mechanism for most OF these
automatic reactions to danger Is the
sympathetic nervous system. Hence it
has been held that this is the seat OF
the emotions. 1t is only when the SYM
pathetic system has started its work
of putting the body in shape to clrcum-
vent danger, either by fight or resist
ance. that the emotions of fear or rage
are felt.
The condition is familiar to many
who have been confronted with crisis,
such as an automobile smash-up. They
have not been afraid until the crash
had occurred and the danger passed.
But the theory apparently does not
hold up we'll under experiment. Per-
haps the foremost authority in America
on the sympathetic nervous system is
Prof Walter B. Cannon of Harvard.
Lately, by a series of remarkable opera
tions. he has been able to diSconnect
entirely the sympathetic nervous system
of cats. dogs and monkeys. Apparently
the animals felt the same emotions as
before. The ympathectomized cat
was lust as fearful of the barking dog.
but its body did not make the same
automatic adjustments to the danger.
Cannon himself is chary of a psy-

The Prospect for Disarmament.

President Hoover has seized upon the
adjournment of the Preparatory Com
mission on Disarmament at Geneva as
an occasion for discussing the results
likely to flow from it's deliberations. He
says he is greatly gratified at their
promising character" The President
states that all of the principal naval
powers have expressed adherence to the
principles suggested by the American
delegation" These principles, Mr.. Hoo
yer explains include 1.-The conception OF
reduction. instead Of limitation. of naval
1.-The American formula" is now as
sured with view to its development
into a practical step"
If Herbert Hoover were a man less
addicted to preciseness of statement
than he is known to be. there might be
an inclination to read into his an
nouncement nothing but glittering gen.
eralities and academic platitudes. But
the President always measures his words.
When he tells us that 1.-The manner in
which the discussions growing out of
the Geneva meeting are to be initiated"
is not to be allowed to lag indefinitely,
but will be followed up promptly" the
world knows, in the Yankee vernacular,
that Hoover means business. He does
not mean maybe"
The President more than once during
the month of the preliminary commits
sion's session emphasized that it was not
a disarmament conference. 1t was only
the prologue to conference. 1t was de-
signed merely to raise the curtain on
what the world hopes may soon become
q drama of actual accomplishment in
the armament domain.
Rome was not built in day, as has
been remarked on sundry and divers
occasions. Disarmament will not be ac-
complished overnight, either. Perhaps
before it is. the Hoover system of SIM
plified practices will be dedicated to the
task of enlightening the untutored pub
lie mind, here and abroad, on exactly
what are the distinctions between
''limitation" of armament and "reduc-
ton of armament. Where does linn
itation" end and reduction" begin?
Does Limitation" refer to future con-
struction of ships and size of armies, or
does it apply to existing navies and mil
itary forces? Does reduction" mean de-
creasing the strength a country already
possesses on sea and land, or diminish
ing it hereafter?
The White House communique of yes
terday is highly comforting in the abb
stract, but little confusing in the con-
crete. President Hoover, with his genius
for Qualification, would do well to diSsi-
pate the fog.

FOur-ROOm Home Put
In Space of Cupboard
BY E. Z. FREE, PHI. d

Theatrical troupers who live all their
lives out of a trunk and cook their
breakfasts over lodging house gas jets
have no advantage over the owners of
an ingenious cupboard recently dis
played in Berlin as the equivalent OF a
four-room fiat.
When some of the many doors OF
this cupboard are opened, receptacles
appear for the clothing of two persons.
From the center of the contrtvance a
fiat board with legs, let's down to make
a dining table. Two easy chairs and
two smaller chairs appear from an
other recess and unfold. Lights on the
top of the cupboard provide the most
modern of indirect lighting for the din
ing room thus provided
An ingeniously contrived shelf de-
sends from the upper part of the YER
satile piece of furniture, to carry an
electric coffee pot and all necessities
for the family breakfast. Breakfast
over, this shelf-kitchen moves upward
again into its former place, and the
dining room is converted into the sit
ting room by unfolding the easy chairs
and opening the side of one of them
to make a bookcase. Another leaf from
the cupboard provides desk for cor
reSpondence.

turns over, mattress appears from
another of the cupboards recesseS, and
the bedroom of the one-room suite is
ready for use. The only thing necessary
before this four room cupboard moves
into a new one-room home is an cleo
trio connection into which to plug
the cupboard's extension cord. When
the owners decide to move, they merely
fold up their four-room fiat and the
baggageman takes it away.
