HOOVER LAUDS
RED CROSS FOR
MERCY DEEDS
Most Beautiful Flower OF
American Spirit He
Says.

~ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 22-Pres!-
cent Herbert Hoover Thursday night
praised the American Red Cross as
one Of the most beautiful flowers
OF the American spirit and the
American democracy"
Speaking on the occasion of the
hftieth anniversary Of the organi-
zation, Mr.. Hoover said 1T repre-
sents our people in their most gen
erous, unselfish and spontaneously
Warm-hearted character"
Women, he said, provided the Red
Cross with its purpose, adding that
through the loftiest Of all spiritual
quahties-charity-it has become
the guardian Of the people from
suffering in times Of disaster"
Without going into the controver-
sey that ragged around the organi-
cation in the last session Of con-
gress, the President traced it's origin
and development in the last half
century.
lie said it represented the people
in the most effective exercise Of
their powers Of organization and
self-goyernment. Supported wholly
by the voluntary gifts of the peo-
pie, it is managed by the voluntary
service Of high-minded private citi-
zens."
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes also praised the Red Cross,
which, he said, represents the
united voluntary effort Of the Amer
lean people in the ministry of
mercy"

"That first turn is always the
toughest for me!'
Those are the words Of the father
Of a race driver and probably are
the emotions of every parent Of a
speed pilot.
"You know" says Arch B. Stapp,
father of Ebert E. GBabe) Stapp,
one Of the headiest drivers in the
nation, "the boys always are
jarnmed up on that first turn
whether It's on a California dirt
track or this great Indianapolis
Speedway. The kids are always
trying to get in there first.
after that first turn, I always
lean back and sigh with relief"
The elder Stapp-"Pop" to every
driver and mechanic at the speed
ways famous Gasoline Alley,
grinned as he thought of the ole
days.
''It's funny, but used to own q
string of race horses down in Sar
Antonio, Tex, years and years ago
I always did like speed. But when
the boys got to growing up and
driving race cars, those horses just
go too darned slow for me-"
And now it seems there is another
driver, or at least a would-be driver
in the fanily-Bill.
But Babe has put his foot down
on the proposition, despite the fact
he's the "baby" Of the family.

FAKE FOG MAY HIDE
CITIES IN TIME OF WAR

New Device Likely to Prove Useful
in Defense Against Air Raids.
By United Press
PARIS, May 22.-Experiments in
the use Of artificial fog as pro-
lection in war time were reported
successful today.
The experiments were conducted
at Tourcoing-textile city where,
incidentally, upward of 100000
workers are at present on strike in
the mills.
Great tanks emitted a thick fog
like gas which chung low over the
city, defying a moderate wind.
Marshal Henri Petain was among
the high army officers who observed
the experiments.
1t was believed the hiding Of cities
in this ''fog" in time of war would
prove useful against air raids.

The piano tuner is no longer the joke Of the
musical world People have discovered that
the sensitive insides of pianos need frequent
adjustments. These who formerly thought that
the annual tuning of a piano was sheer ex-
travagance might be surprised to know that
pianos used for radio broadcasting are tuned
as often as twice a week.
The combined annual salaries of this glori-
fed army CT piano tuners is about SO, 800, 900.
Even they are in the miion-dolla class, along
with photograph needles and perforated music
rolls for player pianos.
Radio has not killed off the sales of those
two commodities. incidentally; the former took
1926 ,290 Of the American peoples money last
year, and the latter $4,294, 185. More money
was spent for phonograph needles than was
collected by the Metropolitan Opera Co. in the
whole year.
But even that record was Insignificant COM

the general public invested in radio sets dur
ing the year.
But, not being satisfied with canned music,
the great American family added $212, 251,-

instruments to its imposing private stock.

of America
Last year $50 school bands competed in the

In addition more than TOO orchestras competed

The total membership of these bands and

last year housed audiences which had paid
some 100000 to hear grand opera at its

second, with receipts of the previous season
of $2,618,141; and the st. Louis Summer Opera
Co. showed last season a profit of $4,000,
which Is quite unusual for an opera company.
Churches added devotional atmosphere to
their services, with music, at combined ex-

KENNEDY MEETINGS

Activities in the Hayes and Ken- nedy camps waned to-day as the result of the closing Friday night of the period for registering on the democratic primary list. Town Chairman John H. Crary, heading the Hayes forces, had no definite plans outside of a few scattered dis trict meetings arranged for this week.
 The Kennedy forces will hold a
 meeting of the first ward workers o-night at headquarters and will also conduct a rally in the Bishop street school. The speakers at the
 rally will be Attorney John F. Tobin,. Attorney Thomas F. Me- Grath, William F. Kennedy, School Commissioner Henry T. Butler and Nicola Testa, publisher of a local Italian paper.
 Tomorrow night the Kennedy ] forces of the second and fifth wards will meet at the Kennedy head quarters on Bank street. Both sides are now expected to devote their time for the rest of the week to the checking over of the primary list, with it's added names.
 Next weeks activities, bringing the primary battle to a close, are expected to be quite interesting. The lives and Kennedy forces are then expected to step on the lever and push the primary contest to a whirlwind close. The balloting will take place on Thursday, the 27th.

After said inquiry and having reason to suspect said death was caused by the criminal act of another, I held an inquest as to the manner and tauBe of said death, and ordered an autopsy to be, performed on the hody of deceased, which autopsy was performed by Dr Edward H.
