PATHE TRAGEDY

NEW YORK, June 4.-That
such a tragedy as the Pathe Film
studio fire, with its toll of II
lives, may never happen again,
the Board of Aldermen yester-
day adopted three ordinances pro-
viding drastic regulation of film
studios and theaters in New York.
One substitutes an entirely new

Code of Ordinances, relating to
inflammable motion picture film.
The others relate to the fire
proofing of ceiling coverings in
theaters and places of amuse-

The new regulations ban mate

j. s. To SURVEY
ICE FLOES

To obtain additional data
which may assist in preventing
future sea disasters resulting
from various ice conditions, the
United States Coast Guard has
begun a thorough study of ice
that comes from the North and
what brings it down into waters
of the North Atlantic navigated
by steamers.
The headquarters of the re-
search program will be at New
foundland. Scientists will dress
in their best armor to ward off
the blasting cold of the ice area
and will venture out among the
floes on the Coast Guard vessel,
General Greene.
The men will study the flow
of the floeS at periods of 10
days to two weeks before return
ing to their headquarters to re-
cuperate for another venture
against the Arctic elements.
The General Greene will have
the assistance of two sister ships
of the Coast Guard, the cutters
Pontchartrain and Mojave, which
will patrol the steamer lanes of
the North Atlantic, maintaining
a sharp lookout for icebergs.
When any of these menaces is
seen, all steamers will be warned
by radio of the danger.
Washington, too, will be kept
informed daily of ice conditions
and of the progress of the study
being made by the Coast Guard.
Wherever practical, the Coast
Guard vessels will attempt to
break up the icebergs they may
find in order to reduce the
hazards to shipping.
Scientists and maritime experts
from other nations are expected
to work with the American group
during the study of the ice
currents.

YOUNG BURGLAR
'FARNED' OUT

NEW YORK, June 4.-If John
Hanson, 18, doesn't take advsn-
tage of his second chance to go
straight, he is going to sadden a
lot of people who believe in him.
John, who has twice become en-
tangled with the law, is not just
another boy gone wrong. He is
a social experiment. He has the
chance of becoming a respectable
citizen or he can follow the uncer-
tain path down which he started.
John will be sent down East"
to Maine the latter part of this
week to work on an estate for his
board and keep and a wage be-
sides. In the fall. when he re-
turns, if he has made good he will
have his choice of five jobs.
The climax, or rather the turn
ing point, in Johns life came last
week when he was surprised in
the act of burglarizing a home.

Singing Ability Improved
By NisudLizing Pitch

NEW YORK, June 4.-Great
singing voices are due to the
singers mental and emotional
capacity and not to any anatomi-
cal peculiarities, it is shown by
hundreds of tests on trained and
unframed voices, reported by
Douglas Stanley.
Pointing out that a singer
must have a mental concept of
the pitch he is about to sound,
Mr.. Stanley asserts that if the
concept is faulty the pupil can
not be taught to sing, though
his speaking voice may be
trained.
New ideas as to breath con-
troll and sound production have
The Washington times., 1931-06-04

arisen through these tests, con
Quoted over a 10-year period.
Observation of great singers
has shown that they never pro
duce a dead" steady tone eX'
cept at pianissimo, the report
says, and continues:
There is no fundamental dit-
ference between the singing
and the speaking voice insofar
as vowels are more sustained in
singing. In singing, the inten-
sity is far greater thus the
general pitch is far higher),
the range is far wider and the
articulation much stronger. In
speech, low tones are most ef-
fective. All normal speech
should be in the pure lower
register"

ounces. The 112 pupils who
were under special care showed
a gain Of 27S per cent, or an
average Of so ounces each.
The physical conditions partly
responsible for the under
weights were: Bad teeth (92
per cent?; bad tonsils, glands
in the neck, inflammation Of
the eyes (conjunctivitis), pos
sible early. tuberculosis and bad
posture.
Some Of those under treat
ment failed to gain. The reaS-
sons for this were given as:
"One girl had badly diseased
tonsilS which her parents re-
fused to have removed. She
made little gain.
Adverse Home Conditions

traceable to adverse home con.
ditionS. In one case these were
circumvented and the child
made 400 per cent gain over
normal rate in the last month.
In the other case the difficulty
was inSurmountable.
I'm another case failure was
due to the natural perversity
Of the child and her mother.
Both were untruthful and per.

Opening Suit Bids of One
BY E. V. SHEPARD

A hand worth an opening bid
affords a golden opportunity
to convey very definite informa-
ton to partner at small risk.
Almost every player loves to
bid. II your partner is hope
lessly weak one or the other
of your opponents almost GER
tainly will outbid your own
modest strength. There is less
than one chance in 20 that
any sound opening bid Of one
will be left in and defeated
badly.
The minimum requirements
for making an opening bid Of
one Of any suit are: Cd Pos
session Of from two to two-and-
a-half quick tricks; (2) A
biddable suit Of not less than
four cards; (S) Probable abil-
ity to fulfill contract in case
dummy holds at least three
small trumps and three prob
able tricks.
An Important Topic
An opening bid of one de-
nies possession Of seven prob
able tricks, as such strength
would demand a higher bid.
Therefore the bidder of one
never seeks immediate support
upon three probable tricks, for
that cannot yield q game. AS
sist an opening bid of one only
in case you, hold normal trump
support, also better than the
average dunn my strength Of
one-and-a-half quick tricks or
three probable tricks. Whether
you should at once support
partntr or shift to a strong
make Of your own is an inn
portant topic requiring future
detailed consideration.

of long experience are oble to

ers require the definite means

ago he learned that secret re.
lation between the costume
and the score, in golf. Isn't
every pro" you know dressed
to the occasion-with some
thing plus? Usually "fours"-
or is it "Sixes" now?
We've sketched all the neces-
sites, and some Of the luxur.
les. We chose this dress be-
cause we think it's both. Two
piece it is-in the new fashion.
So that a swing at the ball
doesn't give a pull all the way
from the hem. In fact, there's
no pull at all, because three
inverted pleats between the
shoulders in the back give at
every swing. In front, the neck
is high or low, depending on
the sun. Pockets, for keeping
tees that act with collar-but-
ton carelessness - big patch
pockets, flat enough for score
cards.
How to Break Par
And the skirt. Well, again
the manufacturer considered
those wide swings. In short,
here's the golf dress to break
par in. Wool jersey-in brown
or green or rust-and the bill

Feet and Legs
And shoes are all-important
on the course. Here are the
kind to hold their stance.
Spiked soles, hard as nails, but
they're soft as moccasins on

combination they are $1,000.

Everyone will agree that an
improperly nouriShed body
cannot perform first class
mental work. This applies
especially to children at school.
The best rough guide to
child's general nutrition is the
weight. There are exceptions
where a naturally thin or
especially small child may be
in a good state Of nouriShment.
For adults the rule does not
hold at all: thin individuals
may be in perfect health. But
in general for children we may
say that underwightS are
poorly nouriShed.
The study Of an actual group
Of such children in q public
school made by Maud A. Brown

Wants to Be Old Bachelor
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm just another one Of those
heartbroken girls. I am II and
am keeping steady company
with a young man seven years
older than am. He is a won
derful fellow, but he always
says ne is going to be an "old
bachelor" He has given me a
ring. and he tells me not to
cheat on him, and be good. I
have never cheated on him, and
I am good. Do you think. Miss
Fairfax, he has q right to OBJ
ject to my going with others
when he means to be an "old
bachelor" and can never be
married to him? He says he
can't support a wife now.
MARY
I am afraid I can't admit
that you are heart-broken at
II, or take the young man
seriously when he says he in
tends te be an "old bachelor"
Giving you a ring suggests
that he may change his mind
about remaining single at some
future date. But as he says
he can't afford to marry, can't
you consider him just as a
friend, which will make it fair
for both of you to have other
friends? And perhaps in the
meantime, if his prospects
brighten, he may change his
mind about remaining an "old
bachelor"
