Of the high SierraS, the Cali.
fornia State Highway Department
prepares for another winter-long
battle to keep some $500 miles of
the States roads open to traffic,
despite often almost insurmount-
able difficulties.
Last year Snow-removal cost
the State $350,000, in 1888 $312,.
600. and this year it may cost as
much as 100000, depending, OF
course, on the severity of the
winter. However, according to
the highway department, this is
money well spent, for by keeping
the roads open to traffic it is
estimated that the State derives
more than sufficient revenues in
gasoline taxes and other fees to
pay for the cost of clearance.
Located on the Sacramento
Reno Road, U. S. Highway 40,
the Bonner Summit Camp is vir.
tually the front-line trench of
the snow army. Already the men
on this stretch have had a 10,

of snow for them to handle.

SIGHT HEARING
GAINSGROUND

NEW YORK.-"ViSual hearing"
is receiving considerable attention
at Ohio State University. writes
Jack C. Cotton, Of the Ohio State
University phonetics laboratory, in
Scientific American.
"Lip-reading" "a misnomer, since
the movements and expressions Of
the whole face and other parts Of
the body enter into visual hear
ing) has long been used by the
hard-of-hearing, but its use in sup
plementing minor defects Of hear
ing is a fairly recent development.
A hearing loss for high frequency
sounds is fairly common and the
loss is seldom realized by the pos
SCISSOR.
OF the freshmen entering Ohio
State University in the fall of 1884
more than 1875 per cent had a
hearing loss of 20 decibels Zap
proximately Is per cent? or more
in one or both ears for a tone of
1892 cycles a second (about one
octave above the highest &C. on
the piano Keyboard. Many Of
these students also had losses in
other parts of their hearing range.
A high-frequency hearing loss
makes it difficult to hear or dis
tinguish between such conSonant
sounds as p, S, sh, t, tn, and so on.
Numerous mistakes in speech un-
derStanding inevitably result.

Pointing out that the 1885 Com
munity Chest drive fell short Of
the goal set, Clarence Phelps
Dodge, president Of the Chest, to
day declared the organization can
not take over the care Of families
thrown on relief during 1885 by
diScontinuance of Federal aid.
From the Chest budget 1925 900
was appropriated for relief
agencies, but this sum must carry
through the entire year, while
Federal aid, including the tran
sient bureau amounted to $3.50, 00C
a month. Mr.. Dodge said.
Diversion of funds for relief
would cut out the work of the IS
Chest agencies.
Commissioner George E. Allen
is prepared to ask Congress for
$500, 900 additional funds to assist
in solving the relief problem here,
it was learned, while relief Off.
Gals were understood to be pre-
pairing to ask Administrator Harry
Hopkins to move the deadline of
Federal aid up to March Is.

FLEET PLANS
OUTLINED
Supply Ships, Tankers
Needs to Be Put
To Congress
BY ERIC FREEDMEN
Copyright. 1888. by international
News Service)


The Administration plans to
construct a large naval auxiliary
fleet as an adjunct to the present
treaty navy building program.
This was disclosed today by
House naval leaders, who indi-
Gated Congress would be asked for
special appropriations for the new
vessels shortly after the forth.
coming session gets under way
Friday.
Part of Program
Administration spokesman have
been advised that these additional
naval funds will be part Of the
major legislation that President
Roosevelt desires enacted during
the session. Other measures on
his must" program include the
neutrality bill, fresh works appro.
priations and whatever legiSla~
ton is needed in case of Supreme
Court reputation of existing
laws.
The auxiliary vessels will com.
pose oil tankerS, supply ships and
other craft necessary in naval
activity.
Secretary of the Navy Swan
son stressed the need for new
auxiliary vessels to keep pace
with current naval construction.
He said:
"The present fleet auxiliaries
are generally old vessels and all
have insufficient speed. New
ones should be provided by q
progressive program such as is
now under way for cOmbatant
ships. This program should be
begun as soon as practicable and
the vessels should be Of improved
characteristics and in sufficient
numbers for adequate operating
maintenance of the cOmbatant
forces"
MERCHANT MARINE
A bill encompasSing the project.
ed program is to be introduced in
the House by Chairman Vinson
of Georgia, of the Naval Affairs
Committee.
At the same time, the. Admins
tration intends to build UP the
American Merchant Marine
through a system of partial Gov.
eminent subsidies to private ship
builders.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. l. U.N.S0,
Such widely separated subjects
as the coSmic ray and the
national Administrators FERA,
WPA and AAA programs went
under the scientific microscope at
the third days session of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science conven'
ton here today.
Efforts to learn how coSmic
rays originate have so far beer
unsuccessful, Professor Arthur H.
Compton of the University of
Chicago declared in a talk on
Recent Progress in Cosmic Rays.
However, their cosmic origin,
though perhaps not established,
appears now more probable than
ever, he said.
Terrific Force
Studies of the latitude effect
and of the variation of coSmic
rays with time of day confirm
the belief that the rays come
from very remote distances, Prof.
Compton said. Most or all of the
rays are electrically charged par.
ticles, it has been established, the
speaker said, and added that it
is indicated by experiments that
occasional rays of energies of al
most a thousand billion electron
volts occur.
Praise for the FERA, blame for
the WPA and a defense Of boon
doggling" were contained in an
address to the social science sec.

One Of the patrolmen climbed
down the fire escape Of the

ment in which the burglar had

window, the officer saw the youth
calmly opening and shutting bu-
reau drawers. When the patrol
man called for the intruder to
throw up his hands, the youth
fled in terror to another window
and in attempting to climb out
lost his footing and plunged to
the courtyard below.
Although he suffered many
fractures, the youth retained par
tial consciousness while being
taken to the hospital. He cried:
MAMA, mama. I want my
mama. Please get my mama"

ARMY AT JIJ|GA
DISORDERED,
RAGGED
1000 Troops, Dozen
Machine Guns Under
8 Tribal Chiefs
BY PATRICK BALFOUR

JIJIGA. Ethiopia. Jan. (Air.
mailed to London) G.N.S0.-Ji-
jiga, second advance post Of the
Ethiopians on this front, has a
warlike atmosphere today and an
astonishing army Of ragged tribes
men.
All day long these troops hang
about the streets doing nothing,
unSupervised, waiting apatheti-
cally for an Italian attack. They
have no regular drill or training
to occupy them.
Attack Unlikely
The only activity occurs when
historical air raid alarms send
them running to cover, although
1t is unlikely the Italians will at
tack Jijiga from the air until
Daggah Bur has been captured.
1t seems impossible that this
diSordered army could stand up
against attack-eSpecially from
trained Italian troops. The troops
here are completely uncoordi-
mated.
There are six entirely separate
units, each under it's own COM
mander.
There are only a thousand
troops and a dozen machine guns
here. Jijiga is virtually unde-
Tended. On the south side the
main defensive position is Harar.
Apart from one single trench
all around the town, the road to
Daggah Bur is undefended. On
my way to Hargeisa met only
one Ethiopian patrol-a handful
of men, two Of whom ran down
the road begging for water.
Discomfort Reigns
All petrol and ammunition has
been buried among the mountains
on the Harar side. This indicates
the Philippians intend virtually to
abandon Jijiga if the Sasabaneh
position is lost, but still have
hopes Of maintaining it.
There is great discomfort among
the Somali soldiers, whom the
Philippians are treating harShly
unable to overcome their racia
antipathy.
Many Somali tribes have re
fused to serve the Philippians
One big tribe wishes to go tt
British Somaliland rather thar
fight for Ethiopia. If the British
refuse they will help the Italians
