CAPITAL RESIDENT
IS BEST LIP READER
Miss Frances Harrod DoWnes
Wins National Tournament
at Chicago.

Miss Frances Harrod Downes, who
conducts lip-reading studio at 1745 K
street, last night won the lip reading
championship of the United States, de-
feating four contenders in q contest
conducted by the American Federation
of Organizations for the Hard of Hear
ing at Chicago, according to Associated
Press dispatches.
When I years old scarlet fever af-
fected Miss Downes' hearing. Today
she is totally deaf In one ear and can
hear only slightly out Of the other. But
she has gone through high school with
her more fortunate schoolmates and is
on the threshold Of college.
AS the hour for the lip-reading
tournament approached, half hundred
delegates from hard of hearing leagues
throughout the country, educators, doc
gathered in a hotel ballroom. The audi
ence-except those who could not hear
at all and those who could hear nor
mally-adjusted audiphones, which had
been especially attached to the backs
Of their chairs.
ReIayed Silently.
In various sections Of the room were
relay stations. At these points sat q
woman who could hear over the audi
phone. Around her were grouped those
who could not AS she heard the
speakers. she silently moved her lips
and those who could read lips thus
followed the program.
The tournament itself was a mystery
to those who could not read lips and
high entertainment-judg from the
applause and mirth-to those who

could. Three monitors, Miss Faith
Fravel Of Hamilton, Ohio, head OF the
department for the deaf in the public
schools; Mrs. r. J. Block of Laurel,
Miss, federation vice president, and
Paul Behnke of Grand Rapids, silently
moving their lips, read jokes, sentences
and descriptions of prominent persons.
The five contestants-Miss Downes,
Miss Anna J. Loos of Phila delphia,
who won second place: Miss Florence
Linnen of Chicago, Miss Marion G.
Ross of Rochester, N. Y, and Mrs.
Cora G. Weston of Philadelphia-in
turn repeated orally over the micro
phone what they lip-read.
Thought She Could Hear.
For an instant the contest was halt
ed spectacularly. A woman back in
the audience interrupted to declare
that one Of the monitors was talking
out loud-for she heard him.
The judges-Dr. Walter H. Theobald
and Revilo r. Fuller of Chicago and
Miss Margaret Evans, secretary of the
Chicago League-said they had not
heard him, nor could any one else in
the audience be found who had.
The woman, then almost in tears,
was complimented by Miss Genev1eve
M. Foley of the Toledo League and
tournament leader, for her lp-reading
ability. For to her 1t had brought the
delusion of hearing.

AMERICAN i. PLANS
TO SEEK S1,5)0,Ol0
School to Ask Sum to Meet
Debts and Increase En-
dOWment.

To balance the operating budget of
American University, a public appeal
will be launched by the Board of
Trustees next Fall for a sum OF ST.
000o 1t was announced by Edward
F. Colladay, who is chairman OF the
Advance Program Committee of the
board.
Present Indebtedness would be cleared
off. Mr.. Colladay explained, and
small increase of endowment would be
provided in order to place the uni
versity on an even financial keel"
The committee, Mr.. Colladay said,
during the past six months made
careful survey of the financial require
mentS of the university.
Has Small Endowment.
1--WE undertook this" he explained,
with the twofold purpose Of holding
our finances steady during the present
general depression and also of building
toward a future growth and develop
ment that will be worthy of this uni
versity and the city.
This survey indicates an immediate
need for $1,500,0O0 with which to bal
ance our operating budget. No college
in America makes an operating profit
from buttons. Every college must have
an endowment, the income from which
supplements tuition receipts. Ameri-
can University has accumulated thus
far in our brief history an endowment
of STAT ,000 This represents very sub
stantial progress for an institution as
young as ours Is, but on the other
hand it is far too small to bridge the
university across a period of stress
We now have 600 students, and in &C
cordance with general educational
standards this enrolment would re-
Quire an endowment of 100000.
However, we have no intention OF
asking for this sum now. All we rec
our indebtedness In order to eliminate
the drain of interest charges and add
enough to our endowment in order to
balance our operating budget.
Hope for Even Keel.
AFTER we get our budget balanced
our committee recommends a modest
building and enlargement program, but
at the present time expansion should be
kept in the background. The present
imperative need Is to put the university
on an even financial keel. During the
present storm we must hold this great
institution steady, so that 1t may fulfill
its purpose of representing the Amer
lean ideal of education here at the Ma
tons Capital. I am sure that friends
of education will give us their Coop
Grafton at this crucial time"
Other members of the Advance Pro-
gram Committee are William S. Corby,
Wade H. Cooper. Daniel G. Roper, John
G. Let's, Bishop William F. Mcdowell
and Chancellor Luclus G. Clark.

WAR DOES NOT PRODUCE

Editor Fay Cravens of Milaca, was
evidently not in the most serious mood
and thoughts of broken homes and
broken hearts were not uppermost in
his mind when he wrote that "a few
million Chinks and Japs wouldn't be
missed" To be sure those countries
are over-pOpulated in parts, so from
a numerical standpoint it may be that
a few million of their citizens might
not be missed. China and Japan are
SO far removed from America anyway
that they will perhaps not feel the
burden of a little fun at their expense.
Here is what Editor Cravens wrote in
full:
THE army and navy of the United
States could be put to some practical
use by employing it to prevent any
body from interfering with the war
that Japan and China wish to wage.
Let 'em fight while we produce and
sell 'em goods. That would bring
back prosperity and a few million
Chinks and Japs wouldn't be missed
From the reports we get about
starving in China, it would seem that
the more they fight the less chance
America would have to sell them any
thing. While they fight they can't
earn money to pay for any goods UNI
less the fighting is done in the prize
ring.

JUNIOR EXHIBITORS
FARE WELL AT SHOW

The announcement was made last
week that Herman Christensen Of
Askov, who showed a Duroc Jersey
fat barrow in group of AZ at the
Junior Livestock show in South St.
Paul, was awarded first prize, but
at that time no other awards for Pine
county had been announced. Now it
is seen that among the other exhibit
tors from the county at the show who
won recognition are mentioned in the
following paragraphs.
Shirley Moore, of Sandstone, showed
a lamb in the Shropshire lamb class
and was placed 18th in class of 80
lambs. Shirley's lamb was sold to
Swift and Company for $500 per hun
dred.
Another single lamb showed by
Verlin White, of Sandstone, placed
goth in a class of IS lambs. This
was one of the largest classes in any
department at the show. Verlin's
lamb was bought by Swift and Com
pany also.
The pen of three lambs showed by
Lucretia Scott, of Braham, was placed
in 18th place in a class of 26 entries.
The st. Paul Dispatch bought Lucre-
tia's lambs at $6.75 per hundred
pounds.
Byron Holm, Sandstone, and Leo
Isaacs, Braham, entered a pen OF
breeding poultry and a pen of market
geese respectively. Neither of these
pens were placed. However, the COM
petition was very keen in these
classes.
On Wednesday night of last week
the st. Paul Chamber of Commerce
gave a banquet in honor of the All
Club members attending the Junior
show. After the banquet when it
came time to make awards, Herman
Christensen was called to the platform
by the Hon. Henry Arens, lieutenant
governor of Minnesota and received
congratulations for his success at the
show. Herman received $40 in prize
money and his pig sold on the auction
block for II cents per pound to the
Cudahay Packing Company.
