TESTS MADE ON
TWINS, TRIPLETS
To Determine Accuracy Of
Theory Of Hereditary
= Ability

WACO, Tex, April 5.-(R-Twins
and triplets by the score practiced
rolling their tongues in tubes to-
day-all for the sake Of science-at
Baylor univenity's second annual
Texas college twin convention.
DR.. D. C. Rife, professor Of biology
at Ohio State university, set up
elaborate apparatus to measure the
tongue twisting, remarking it isn't
everybody who can do it. Tongue
rolling is not easy, something like
simultaneously patting your head
with one hand and rubbing your
stomach with the other.
The idea is to determine whether
both individuals in a pair of identi-
Gals can do it, or just one, or Meth
er, and perhaps why. DR.. Rife and
DIR. Iva Cox Gardner of Baylor are
testing a theory that such abilities
are hereditary.
Meanwhile Cassius and Claudius,
twin goats from the farm of Presi-
dent Pat M. Neff of Baylor were in
Quoted as assistant mascots as the
convention was opened formally.
The Lisakar twins from Palestine,
Tex.-two sets in the same family
were Dragging about how all four
had had measles at the same time.
Orville and Orren Hardie and AL
den and Walden Huddleston hitch
hiked from Arlington, where they
are students at North Texas Agricul-
tural college. They stood four
abreast on the highway, and their
four thumbs hooked a ride with a
man who said he was the father of
twins.
Bill and Bob Alfred, sephomores
from Mars Hill college in North
Carolina, half of the Tar Heel states
delegation, wore red ties. When ask

COURT REPORTER
Decision in the Strange Case of
:'TIN SOLDIERS ON PARADEn
Continued From Page Eight

~"DENIEDr And so, Lud-
wig Mayer, alias Julium Berne,
lost his habeas corpus plea and was
taken back to the Jail at the Brook
Ign Navy Yard.
The term "habeas corpus" is an
action or plea in which the accused
challenges the courts right to keep
HIM or her in custody. It is a tech
meal thing and a very tricky one,
by which many a guilty person
gains freedom, at least for a time.
In the present case, there was
plenty of evidence that Mayer was
a guilty soul, but there was a cues
ton in the minds of many whether
OF not his detention in the Tombs
in New York City for such a long
period, and without trial, was &C.
cordlng to the prescribed law.
Notwithstanding the ever present
danger of spies in this country, the
government extends a just and
tolerant attitude toward aliens.
This is best evidenced by quoting
a passage from the decree as fol-
lows: Whatever may be the right
OF an alien to protection of the law
IN this country, he surrenders this
right to constitutional protection
when he joins the armed forces of
an alien enemy, assuming his duties
as a spy"

| Latest Easter
| Sunrise Service
| In Yosemite

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
March 9-The latest of Easter sun
rise services in the United States is
the one held at Mirror Lake in
Yosemite National Park. The nat
ural charm and distinction OF this
annual event attract thousands to
worship in Yosemites cathedral of
shining granite and towering pines
and frs. This years service will be
one of the latest on record. because
of an early Easter March 24. The
sun will not be visible to Yosemite
worshippers until 9 minutes past 10
o'clock in the morning.
Those congregated on the wooded
shores of Mirror Lake at the upper
end of Yosemite Valley will see in
its still surface reflection of what
is perhaps the most beautiful of
Easter services. In the lakes cool
depths the Easter sunrise will be
reflected in all its Sierran glory as
the sun gradually climbs the shoul-
der of mighty Half Dome, nearly
mile above the congregation. While
services are being conducted from a
rocky promontory extending half
way across this tiny mountain lake,
a chorus of mixed voices will furnish
the musical background, hymns
waiting over the unrippled waters
from a nearby islet where the choir
stands. Those fortunate enough to
be in attendance at an Easter SUM-
rise service in Yosemite are thus
privileged to see two sunrises and
two services, instead of one, for the
entire scene is duplicated in the
magic waters of Mirror Lake
Seemingly realizing the signifi-
canoe of Eastertide, nature brings a
renaissance to the mountains. Warm
sunshine melts the last trace of snow
from the valley floor, leaving the
mantle of white only on the higher

HAMILTON, March 9.-Bermuda

Easter as much as eggs and rabbits,
and of the three familiar Easter
symbols the Bermuda lily is by far
the most beautiful. In few weeks
millions of Americans will see these

Fields of Bermuda, especially the
valleys of St. Davids, are so white
with the floral snow of fragrant
Easter lilies that visitors have been
known to mistake the scene for the
winters snow left behind in the

Witty and logical enough are
some of the explanations for calling
a ship "she." But why the feminine
designation of the locomotive? A
railroad executive digressed in
recent speech to give the reason:
They wear jackets with yokes, pins,
hangers, straps and stays. They
have aprons, also a lap and not
only shoes, but pumps and hose.
They surmount great obstacles but
sometimes jump the track at the

While the practice of allowing
cruise tourists access to their state
rooms while in port is general, Ber-
muda consistently has frowned on
the plan, which has such a wide
appeal among thrifty travellers. So
heavily did the Bermuda govern

the islands consistently required its
passengers to change to hotels. An
attempt by line to disregard the
precedent two years ago was met
with an order-in- council to back
up the custom with law. But now
