FRANKS NAMED
KIWANIS HEAD
Vote Is "a to Il in Con.
test With Ogle; Ma
COON Speaks

T. H. Franks was elected presi-
dent of the Kiwanis club this af-
ternoon in close contest with c.
NJ. Ogle, the vote being "a TO 81.
Nominations were made last week
and today the club voted on nomi-
nations for vice president, these
to be announced next Thursday
preceding final balloting on the
office.
The new civic club president
has been vice president this year,
while his opponent was vice presi-
dent three years ago and has been
| secretary this year.
C. H. Magoon, Henderson coun-
ty poultryman, was presented as
the speaker today by DR.. w. W,
Carpenter, chairman of the agri-
culture committee. Mr.. Magoon
declared that while the poultry in
dustry is in the doldrums now,
due largely to high feed costs, it
is showing signs of revival.
"The thing to work for" he
said, "is a flock of so to 200 birds
on every farm rather than few
large commercial plants"
The public is fast becoming
quality conscious in buying eggs,
he said, and poultrymen are be-
ginning to pay attention to this
marketing factor. The speaker
sees great possibilities in the Ten
nessee Valley Authority's poul-
try's co-operatives and expressed
the hope that one can be estab-
lished in this section.

JAPS NOT TO
COMPROMISE
Are Ready at Any Time to
Terminate Treaty When
Interests Require

TOKYO, Nov. 8. (UP).-There
is little likelihood of Japan &C
cepting British proposals for a
"gentleman's agreement" on ma
val limitation, the United Press
learned authoritative today.
While japanese naval leaders
conceded that the British PROPOSE
ton represented a compromise
between the deadlocked japanese
and American positions, Japan
will not compromise, it was
learned.
The British proposal contem-
plated scrapping of existing naval
limitation treaties, recognizing
Gin theory" the principle of Jap
anese equality in tonnage, but
with a "gentleman's understand
ing" between the three major sea
powers that Japan would not build
to American and British strength:
The United States has insisted
on retention of present ratios,
which leaves Japan inferior to the
other two powers in sea strength
Japan considers that the Brit.
ish compromise proposal would
not satisfy the empires desire fol-
definite naval equality, but would
merely leave the question un.
solved, the United Press learned
Discussion of termination OF
the treaty whenever the proce'
dure seemed logical. The process
of approving termination, it wa:
said, is a mere legal formality tt
be undertaken whenever Japar
interests require such a move.

The general election today be-

tie and one Progressive candidate
were also victorious.
In the house, with results in
six states still incomplete, Demo-
Gratis took 81 seats and Republi-
cans SO. Farmer-Laborites held

the Democrats a net gain of two

CONTESTS ARE
SET FOR 3P. N.
Leading Republicans do
Not Know of Any To
Be Offered

Contests in Tuesdays election
were indicated this morning when
the county election board met to
canvass the returns and declare
the official results, and the board
set 8 o'clock this afternoon as
the hour to hear any protests or
contests.
When the board convened this
morning, w. C. Meekins, chair
man of the Republican state exc
cutive committee, George Pritch-
ard, of Asheville, former con-
gresham, and leading Republican
attorney, and a number of other
leading Republicans were present.
Mr.. Meekins stated after the
board adjourned for lunch that
he knew of no contests to be
made, and that he was there Tor
the purpose of observation.
1t was thought that the large
number of Republicans present
was due to the close race between
Sheriff w. A. Garren and Morris
N. Orr.
Sheriff Garren was not present
this morning and has made no an
nounce,nent concerning a contest
or the asking of a recount IN the
close race. =,
AS abstracts of the vote in the
variuos precincts were turned in
by registrars this morning there
were only six protested votes.
Four of these came from Balfour
and two from Bat Cave.
1t was not indicated whether
these were Republican or Demo-
cratic votes, and they are expect
ed to be considered this afternoon
at 8 o'clock.

line of approach with the Tokyo
delegation as one means of
breaking the naval deadlock
which threatens the world naval
conference.
So far, both Britain and the
United States delegation headed
by Norman H. Davis have refus-
ed to consider Japan's insistence
she be granted naval equality
hence, the break yesterday was
regarded as a strong indication
Britain sees no other way out
and is ready to compromise with
Tokyo.
The move presumably means
the scrapping of the Washington
treaty of 1922, limiting navies
with the ratio standing 5-5-3 the
Japanese on the small end of the
trio. The American delegation
hence was believed cool toward
the British move. despite Japa-

Sound Production Not
Uncommon With Fishes

Whatever the motive, if any, of
singing fish," the mechanism by
means of which such sounds are
launched upon the air or water is of
interest. Though without true lungs,
larynx, or vocal chords, there is am
pie means for sound production in
the average fish's makeup. Many can
emit loud calculations on grasshop-
per principles, using the bases of GER
tain fins, fin rays and gill covers to
perform the functions of strings and
bow.
One Indian catfish even employs
part of it's spinal column, scraping
the first bone of it's dorsal fin against
the spines of the fourth and fifth
vertebrate. The trigger fishes, sur
geon fish, bore fish and our common
stickleback are all in the class of
what one might term fish violinists.
So far as can yet be ascertained,
no fish deliberately produces sounds
either to intimidate foe or to warn
its fellows of danger Least of all
does it show the slightest esthetic
appreciation. The suggestion that
the singing fishes chorus had posi-
bly, some connection with mating,
may appeal to the poet, but not to
the scientist.
