By the Assoicated Prece. EVENING SHADE, Ark., May 21.— Time was when the presence of a flock of houn’ dogs around the cabin garded as a sure sign of shiftlessness and that the farmer was “triflin’.” Today, however, this has changed. For the houn’ dog, made famous in song and story, has become the means of a surer prosperity for its ralser than corn or cotton. The hogs may run wild without care, but the dog gets the best. If you travel through the Ozark and hear the booming voices his trade of training hounds for the market. A good hound today is worth up to $50 in the Bastern mark®8t. And a good pair of hounds will pay their keep within a few days through the fur they will capture. The market for hounds is active lo- cally. This ad appeared recently “Now is your chance to get a hound pup from the famous ‘Old Bell’ dog of mine. Old Bell took 11 coons, 7 pos- sums and a mink in three nights last Fall.

Noise of Single Atom Heard on Radio From Laboratory Over Station KFKU By the Associated Press. LAWRENCE, Kans., May 21— Single atoms rattled about in space in a laboratory at the University of Kansas last night. Not only did these atoms make a noige audible to observers in the lab- oratory, but the sound was caught by the university’s radio station, KFKU, and broadcast throughout the Central West, together with an ex- planatory talk by Dr. H. P. Cady, as- sisted by John Strong, both of the department of chemistry. The smallness of the atoms used— those from radio-active substances— was explained by Dr. Cady, who said if a single crystal of sugar were di- vided into a billion parts, and this billlonth were again divided into a billion parts, the fraction would still be twenty times as large as the atom of helium used. Leyden Jar Is Usec. A leyden jar, such as has been used for static electrical experiments since before the time of Benjamin Franklin, was the basis of the experiment. The negative pole of the jar was connect- ed with a fine point talking machine needle, set like a lightning rod in the center of the jar. Suspended so as to surround the negative point was a brass cylinder, connected with the positive pole. When the jar was charg- ed, the electricity passed across the intervening space between the cylin- der and the point until the difference in potential was reduced to 4,000 volts. There the resistance of the air stop- ped the discharge, until a radio-active substance was brought within a few inches of the upper opening of the brass cylinder and just above the talking machine needle. ‘When the alpha, particles from the radium entered the cylinder they pro- duced jons from the air, and these multiplied by collision until the elec- tric current could pass again. By means of a three-stage amplifier this current, which was multiplied between 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 times withip the leyden jar was multiplied 70,000 times and this power produced in a loud speaker a tone like that of a small bell struck sharply and then muted, or of a plucked violin string. Continuous Rattle Heard. ‘When substances strongly radio-ac- tive were presented to the instrument, a continuous rattle ensued, but for substances less radio-active the single atoms were separated enough to be easily counted. Since the operation of fonizing the air and producing the electrical current required only one- thousandth of a second, it would be possible to distinguish separate atoms somewhere near a thousand a second, but the counting would be difficult, Dr. Cady suggested. Particles of gas mantles, watches with radiant figures and even a chem- ical solution obtained from common Kansas limestone were introduced, and each gave off its appropriate number of atoms per second, depending upon the amount of radium present. ALIEN BILL APPROVED. Naturalization Measure Would Re- lieve Federal Court Deckets. The judge of any United States Dis- trict Court would be authorized to des- ignate officers of the Bureau of Nat- uralization to conduct preliminary hearings on petitions for naturaliza- tion under a bill passed by the Senate and sent to the House.

Witness Heard Scream. For the first time a person was lo- cated yesterday who sald that she saw the evangelist swimming and heard a scream that must have been uttered by her. Emily Finley, a member of Mrs. Mc- Pherson’s congregation at Angelus Temple, said that while on Lick Pler Tuesday she saw a woman swimming near the end of the pier, splashing around in the water and apparently enjoying herself. Miss Finley re- marked at the time to a friend that the swimmer must have nerve to be out so far alone. After watching the woman swim {even farther out, Miss Finley and her companion took their eves off her. Shortly later they heard a cry which they passed unnoticed at thinking it came from children along the beach. When they looked toward the spot where they had lost seen the swimmer she had disappeared. Mother Denies Rumors. | Later they met Miss Emma Shaffer, Mrs. McPherson’s secretary, on the beach and were told that the evange- list had drowned. ‘While the search for Mrs. McPher- son’s body continued Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother of the church leader, took occasion to' scout reports and rumors that have sprung up since the | disappearance of her daughter. She also denied that Angelus Temple was in financial difficulties or that Mrs. McPherson carried large sums of life instrance. Mrs. McPherson had conducted evangelistic campaigns in Canada, Australia and England, as well as in many sections of the United States. She formerly resided in Woodstock, Ontario, and as Miss Aimee Kennedy obtained her education at Ingersoil Collegiate Institute. She first started revival meetings on the West Coast in 1918, after the death of her hus- band, Robert Semple McPherson. Recently Was in London. Friends in Rochester, N.
