PEACE PRIZE AWARL SUBMITTED TOVOTE Referendum in January on Bok Project to Cover Entire Country. — 3 . A day or two after New Year day s the time now set by the American peace dward for the ‘referendum” in which the American people will have a chance to register thelr opin- | fon on the winning plan, and on what | they think Is the proper vélation of | the United States to international ac- tion looking toward the prevention of war. With over 5,000 daily and weékly | papers carrying the ballot, the press alone will see to it that a ballot gets into almost every home in the coun- ry. These papers represent differ- ng political tendencies and differing positions on the subject of our for- oign policy. Many editors huve writ- ten that in carrying the ballot they are setting aside an established aver- sion to printing ballots because they feel that the object of this referen- lum transcends all ordinary rules. They are joining not in any indorse- ment of a particular plan, but in a, vast co-operative effort to find_out what is the true judgment and feel- ng of the American people on this Juestion.

A. Roback, Harvard psychologist. In the tests, devised by Dr. Roback and carried out in the Harvard psychological laboratory under the eupervision of H. 8. Langfeld, professor of psy- chology. the girls received an average rating of 556 per cent and the men 50.5. The testing system was based on relative speed ‘in observation de- duction, mental application and in- terpretation. _One Harvard man tied with a Radcliffe_student for first place with an S6 per cent ranking. A Harvard student made the lowest score, 9 per cent. The lowest level reached by a girl was 26 per cent. Commenting on the results of the tests, Dr. Roback said that similar experiments had been con- ducted at Simmons College and Clark University and that the average intelligence of girls in ¢ leg s is apparently above that of the men. He attributed this condition to a more careful process of selection on the part of parents sending girls to college, while many men “go to college merely because it is the thing.” In the upper levels, however, man and womah rank very evenly in the race for mental honors, he said. AVALANCHES IN ALPS. Houses Are Swept Away in One Village. BERN, Switzerland, December 27— The series of devastating avalanches in the Alpine region is continuing.

Anne Arundel county, once the resi- dence of Horatio Sharpe, Gover- nor of Maryland before the revo- lutionary war, has been suggested by some persons as a possible site for the summer White House, for which $200.000 was left by J. Wilson Leakin, who died a year ago. The place is now owned by Mrs. W. C. Story, former president oneral of the Daughters of the merican Revolution, and it _is not known that it is for sale. But some persons have said that be- cause of the unusual beauty of the grounds and the house the estate would be ideal for the pur- pose for which Mr. kin made rovision in his will. The house tself is declared to be one of/ the finest examples of colonlal archi-» ¥ tecture In Maryland. The house stands between' Whitehall creek and Meredith cove. Mr. Leakin’s will provided that his offer should be accepted by the United States government within eighteen months of his death, and that if this were not done the money would revert to the Pea- body Institute, which was made his residuary legatee. No steps have been taken by the federal government to accept the money for the summer White House and if it is not accepted by next June the Peabody Institute will receive the $200000. One of the provisions of the will was that the summer White House should be within motoring stance of Washington, whi Whitehall is. i ‘The house and its wings are of brick. It commands a splendid View of the Chesapeake bay and it is surrounded by landmarks of the bachelor Governor of Mary- land before the revolution.

Bpecial D'spatch to The Star, VACAVILLE, Calit., December. 27.— A half dozen hydro-electric engineers, snowed In by blizzards and complete- 1y cut off from communication with !the outside world in a mountaln camp 260 miles north of here, today are attesting the verity of the old adage that “necessity is the mother of in- vention.” Hemmed in by huge drifts from 1405 H St. N.W. W. 604 9th St. N snows which started early last week, and confronted not only by a turkey- less but by a foodless Christmas when the only teiephone line to the camp went out of commission, the party summoned both food and help by evolving a new method of “directed” radio transmission. Not only did they save themselves, but their ex- periments may go a long way toward revolutionising present land use of wireless. Find New Methods. . The results of their efforts to ob- taln Christmas day succor Is a new “wired wireless” method by which radio megsages can be confined to one direction and sent without conflict with any other radio sending or re- celving station In the use of the air. The discovery was made when the engineers, who are employed {n_hydro- electric development work by the Pa- cific Gas and Electric Company, tuncd a small radio set which they carried in the direction of high voitage trans- mission lines which ran past their camps. The sound waves precipitated against the power wires were carried to the terminus of the lines here, a distance of 260 miles, where they were picked off by a small boy with an amateur receiving set. 723 roShortly after the frst m: wa , power company employes, v ing another youthful radio operator o his amateur sending set, were in ful communieation with the snow boun: ¢pineers, and hoip was on the way om. The value of the chance diecove: precipitated by neceseity, according ? radio experts here, lies in the possibl use of all kinds of land lines in th: same kind of “direct’ gending. No only can high tension lines be pressac Into such service, they sassert, bu telephone and telegraph lines, and ever barbed wire fences can be utilized I the same way without interfering & any manner with their other uses, ‘The same “wired wireless they declare, ‘can be used to sages when statle conditions use of regular radio methoc GIVEN JAPANESE HONOR.
