count of 48 that has been generally accepted since 1923.
 The chromosomes lie in the nue. leus of the cells of the body which differentiate and compose the tis- sues, organs, and other parts of a human being.
 Their importance is such that their number and shape are be- lieved not only to determine the characteristics inherited by an off spring from it's parents. but to gov- ern whether an egg will develop into mammal. bird or reptile.
 The number is constant in a giv- en species, so that if 24 is the correct number for cells of human beings, the same number of chro- mosones function in the cells of a day-old child as they do in full grown individual.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Death, re- specter of no class or creed, closed the careers during 1929 of an un- usually large number of persons widely known for their leadership in their respective spheres or because of the high stations they occupied.
 Among them were many whose achievements won for them fame throughout the world.
 The most noted figures to pass from the world stage were Georges Clemenceau and Marshal Ferdinand Foch. It was Clemenceau, the statesman, who, as prime minister welded together all France for the final stroke in the world war and made Foch commander of the French army. From that post the marshal advanced to command the allied forces and to finally achieve victory.
 There was somewhat of coinci- dence in the writing of "30" on the careers of two eminent journalists, Melville E. Stone, one of the or ganizers and for 25 years general manager of The Associated Press, and Thomas (Tay Pay) O'Connor, father of the House of Commons. 9 MT. Stone proceeded his famous Irish contemporary in life by two months and in death by nine months.
 Deaths among noted churchmen included Cardinal Gasquet, regarded as one of the most learned men in the world, and Cardinal Dubois. head of the Catholic church in France; the Rt. Rev. John Gard ner Murray, presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America. and Bishop Charles H Brent of the Methodist Episcopal

Marriage IA Years Old AnnuILed During
 DiUOrce Proceedings

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.-Mrs. Emma M. Davis started to get a divorce here from w. w. Davis of Glendale, but before the case came to judgment of Superior Judge Tim othy I. Fitzgerald, facts arose which resulted in the fourteen-year- old marriage being annulled.
 The continuation was the result of a previous marriage and divorce. Hearing that her former husband, a New Jersey doctor, was married, she married Davis. But it turned out that her divorce from the first husband was not final when she married Davis, so the ceremony was illegal, and the annulment was in order. 7

24 GRANULES HELD
 BASE OF HEREDITY

DIES MONIES, Jan 2.--Twenty- four tiny granules in cells of the human body may govern the re- semblance of a child to its parents.
 Dr. F. G. Adamstone of the Uni versity of Illinois presented this conclusion today before the Ameri- can Society of Biologists, meeting with the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
 The statement was based on an actual count of the granules, min ute rod-like bodies known as chro- mosones and so small they had to be magnified 2.0O0 times to be seen clearly.
 His study reveals that the num- Der of chromosomes in the cells of man is "A, or number very close to it." in contradiction to another

, ly paper profits. Business felt the blow but recovered before the first count and is once more showing the buoyant spirit that has made 1929 an amazing year.
 Edward E. Loomis, official spokes- man for the Eastern Railway Pres idents' conference, summarized the outlook for general business in this area as follows:
 "The first half of 1929 was a boom period, but in the last half the slump developed. which has been more apparent from month to month.
 This let-down in industrial ac- tivity may extend into the first half of 1930, with resulting unfav- orable comparison with the corre- spending six months of 1929. How ever. believe the latter half of 1880 will be more satisfactory than the period just closing and that the average of the entire year will com pare favorably with 1929
 While the deflation of the se- curity markets has affected the pur- chasing power of many, I believe business will be slowed up only temporarily. Out entire industrial equipment is intact and operating on a highly efficient basis. There are no large inventories on hand and the present era of cheaper money may be expected to continue"
 With special reference to rail- roads, he said they could be de- pendent upon to cooperate in the successful conduct of business. He said he saw nothing in the eco homie situation to make him pessi- mistic.

ENTERTAINMENT IN AIR THEATRE MAKES ADVANCE
Better Broadcast Radio and Television Coming
 Are High Lights
By c. E. BUTTERFIELD Radio Editor
"A. P. Feature Service)

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Better broadcast radio, with television be- coming more distinct in the back ground, led the 1929 parade of the air.
 Radio awaits 193o with a feeling that it's eighth year as an enter tainment medium has taken it into healthy youth.
 Within the industry itself there has been further evidence of stab- ilization in an effort to find a more even keel
 Prosaic figures give an insight into progress. Estimates made by Bond P. Geddes, executive vice. president of the Radio Manufac- turers' association, place the num- Der of radio receivers sent from the factories at 100000 compared with 2,600,0O0 the year before. A total of 75O0O,0O0 tubes have been put on the market compared with 50G00,000 in 1928.
 MT. Geddes said these figures represented a value of $850,000 000, In 1928 the amount was S650,- 100000.
 Spurt in TelevisiOn
 Television was given somewhat Of a squirt, in the laboratory at least, with the announcement of the de- velopment of tube-a special ca thode ray "kinescope"-that elimi- mates moving parts in television re- producers.
 Broadcasting as represented by the two national chains. National and Columbia, introduced many novelties together with general advance in program presentation.
 Individually, stations also sought the best in program building, with an increased trend toward high power transmitters. Stations us- ing 50,000 watts grew in number, and plans were announced by oth- CTS to boost power.
 Programs themselves showed more of the influence of the drama, and sketches of all sorts took up more space in the air channels. Often strictly musical programs were al tered to include hint of the stage. Impetus was given education by radio as more of the class room type of programs were presented.
 The year experienced the success full rebroadcast by an NEG group of stations of programs originating across the Atlantic. Pickups from airplanes of importane events was climaxed with the broadcast of the experiences of parachute jumper as he dropped to earth. Special short wave transmitters and receiv- CTS were used.

KEEL ER ENTERS
 RAGE FOR HEAD OF AIS. SCHOOLS
City School Superintendent to Run as Independent
 for Commissioner

W. K. Keller, City Superintendent Of Public Schools of this city and formerly holding a similar position in Fairbanks, today announced his intention of filing his. candidacy for Territorial Commissioner of Educa- tion. He will make the race as an independent, declining to run as a party candidate on the ground that it would tend to throw the Alaska school system squarely into partisan politics.
 As an independent candidate 1t will not be necessary for him to run the gauntlet of the April primaries, nor to enter the campaign until next summer. However, he will file his declaration of candidacy at once.
 Has Long Service
 MT Keller has been connected with the Alaska School system long, CT than any other Superintendent of City Schools has ever served in a like capacity. He is now on his ninth year. He came to the Ter ritory in 1921, going to Fairbanks as Superintendent of Schools. He was there for two years, resigning to come to Juneau. At the end of the present school year, he will have served seven years as head of the local public schools. That is the longest any person has ever served as Superintendent in Juneau
 His tenure generally has been harmonious and the schools have been kept apart even from city politics. This is reflected by the fact that for the past six years, there has been but single candi- date for the School Board in any municipal election.
 Holds Two Degrees
 MT. Keller holds two academic degrees. He graduated from Wash ington State College. Pullman,

Jack Says
It's Glory
HeDesTes
Sharkey Almost Apologies
for Accepting Money for
Fighting German.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, June A.
Glory, not money, is the big incen-
tive behind Jack Sharkey's drive to
win the heavyweight championship
when he meets Max Schmeling of
Germany at Yankee stadium week
from Thursday night.
IF the New York boxing COM
mission advised me today that the
heavyweight title would not be at
stake when I meet Schmeling,
Sharkey told the United Press to-
day, 81 wouldn't go through with
the match.
"It'S not the money I'm going to
get out of the match that is MAX
ing me work and toll to get in
shape, but the prospect of winning
the title and keeping it in America.
Accepts Pay Cut
From the first Sharkey has
stressed the fact that the match
must be for the heavyweight title,
and to help insure this stipulation
the Bostonian accepted a cut from
271a to Is per cent in his guarantee.
Sharkey is the first fighter to bat
tie for the championship, without
the money. Dempsey, Tun-
ney, Willard. Johnson, Jeffries, Fitz-
simmons and Corbett were badly in
need of cash when they made their
championship battles.
Sharkey has collected 100000 in
six years in the ring, and has in
vested it wisely. He could retire
from the ring now and live COM
fortably on the earnings from his
savings.
Aware of Hostility
81 want that title" Sharkey re-
peated. Twice I was almost. the
challenger against Tunney and then
I became discouraged. Even as late
as when I fought Stribling l had
almost given up hope of ever WIN
ming it. There was SO much hostility
towards me that I thought some
thing would always happen and an
other obstacle be placed in my path.
1.-THE reason why l consented to
fight Phil Scott was to get him out
Of the way to clear the path for this
title match against Schmeling."
