Purge Republication in Election
Complete if Georgia Votes No
PrOQrdn1 VieWed
AS Outstanding
Political Error
By THEODORE HUNTLEY

Should Georgia follow South
Carolina and Maryland today in
renominating Senator Walter F.
George in the face of the PreSi-
dents effort to replace him with
New Dealer, the net score of the
Roosevelt purge program for 1888,
so far as it concerns the Senate,
will be exactly nil.
Not a single conservative Demo
crat now in the Senate has been
or is likely to be beaten by White
House opposition.
On the contrary, while the purge
program has been begging down
so deeply to make it look like
one of the outstanding political
mistakes of history-perhaps the
greatest one of the political genius
now in the White House, whose
daring and golden voice have utnil
now carried him from one con-
quest to another-voters in several
States have been doing a bit Of
purging of a different kind.
SENATOR POPE PURGED
Conservatives in Idaho purged
New Deal Senator James P. Pope,
much to everyone'S surprise, nomi-
mating conservative Congressman
D. Worth Clark as the Democratic
choice to succeed him.
California observation-disclosures
purged New Dealer william Gibbs
McAdoo in spite of the Presidents
blessing and Wilsonian tradition,
plus an ex-Wilsonian marriage.
Texans purged Maury Maverick.
Virginians refused to allow Howard
w. Smith, of Alexandria. to be
purged in favor of William
E. wv h t-has-happened-to-him?"
Dodd, and New Yorkers seem in
clined to want Johnny O'Connor
to come back to Congress again,
whether F. D. R. does or no.
And in the meanwhile-taking
them in alphabetical order-look
what happened to the other
senators marked for purging:
Adams wins in Colorado.
Bennett Clark comes through
with whopping majority in Mis-
Souri'S Democratic primary.
GILLETTE VICTOR
Guy Gillette set the pace for the
refuSe-to-be-purged Senators in
Iowa.
Lonergan is getting himself re-
nominated today in Connecticut.
Pat McCarran gave the Presi-
dent smile and a basket of fish
and came through o. K. inI
Nevada.

Strange Facts
| \ Sounds Can Be \
. Photographed .

SURPRISING as it seems, it is
y possible to take pictures OF
sound. A flame can be made to
vibrate in unison with sound
wave and the vibration of the
flame then be photographed with
the aid of a revolving mirror.
Such photographs are useful be-
cause they help to identify the
overtones of musical instruments.
Closely allied to the subject of
sound is the science of acoustics,
that branch of physics which has
to do with making sound easily
and distinctly heard in large
rooms, halls, or out-of-door meet
ing places. In the construction of
theaters, churches, or concert
halls the matter of acoustics is
of great Importance. A room is
said to have poor acoustics when
sounds from the front cannot be
heard clearly in every part of the
room or when troublesome echoes
are produced. Echoes are caused
by the reflection of sound waves
from large, smooth surfaces-in
room, from walls, floor, or cell
ing. If the. room is so construct
ed that there are no large sur
faces of wall, the echo is broken
up into small waves, none of
which is heard by the listener.
Smooth surfaces can also be bro
ken up by curtains or by rear
rangement of furniture, thus inn
proving the acoustic properties of
structure with reasonable &C
curacy from the architects plans.

Sponge Nursery

At Turneffe, a group of coral is
lands off the coast of British Hon
duras, sponge nursery has been
established. Strains of wild
sponges, most suited to modern
tastes were first selected, and
now in shallow, blue lagoon
thousands of pedigree sponge
fragments are steadily growing.
Each is weighted down with a ce-
ment disc.
AS these animal cuttings attain
maturity, a matter of four years
growth, they will again be dras-
tically dismembered and planted
in adjacent lagoons. Sponges die
quickly when exposed to light.
They are black skinned and thick
ly gelatinous when brought up by
shark-defying divers. A bath in
chemicals adds to their luster and
purity.

MAKING an old fashioned silk
AV1 crazy patch quilt is simply
fascinating thing to do. From
the moment you start collecting
bits of silk and satin and velvet
until the second you invent your
last combination of embroidery
stitches it holds your interest.
This type of quilt is not quilted
after piecing, but tied like a COM
forter. No padding is needed if
soft warm material is used for the
foundation. The pieces are always
in irregular shapes-often very
tiny and the largest is seldom
more than four or five inches
!ong. They are pinned or basted to
foundation of soft muslin, han-
mel or an old wool blanket is good
to use. One patch shown here is
a piece of ribbon and the selvages
are not turned or covered. 1t is
best to arrange a number of
patches before you start to sew
them in place with the embroidery
stitches.
The embroidery is really used
20 give balance and unity to the
whole design. If patch seems
too light make it darker by en-
Droidering it in dark thread. If
It seems too plain you can trace
he little forget-me-not design
shown here onto it and embroider
It in natural colors or use some
If the more simple designs shown
here as filters.

work stitches are in new leafet

MURPHY, DETTON

That fine broth Of a boy, DR..

ties at Turner's Arena tonight,
and the O'Briens, the FitzgeraldS,
the O'Connells and the Atchisons
will be on hand to put the finish
ing touches to st. Patrick's Day
celebration.
Sure, and isn't Johnny wrestling
a spalpeen named Pancho Valdez?
And was there ever an Irishman
defeated with his "fishts" or in
a rasslin' match on st. Patrick'S
Day unless it were by another
Irishman? Faith and the Doctor
will break Valdez in little pieces
and he won't be after needing any
shillalahS to do it.
MURPHY POPULAR
Not since Danno O'Mahoney
held the wrestling championship
OF the "wurruld" has there been
another Irishman mentioned as a
possibility for the title. There are
Eyetalians, Greeks, Scotchmen,
Mexicans and Englishmen Chad
cess to them, but few from the
Emerald Isle in the wrestling
sport.
Murphy seems real bet for the
championship because he can
really wrestle. The Doctor, trim
good-looking. muscular athlete
made a great hit here in his last
appearance when he held Jesse
James to q draw. Dropkick die
everything right that night ano
should have won the match if the
referee hadn't forgotten how tt
count to three when Jesse's shoul
ders were flat on the mat. Muir
phys appearance tonight should
give a real Irish touch to the pro
ceedingS. There should be lots oi
