Mr. and Mrs. James E. seek to represent the Lone Star com- monwealth in the United States sen- ate. Thomas L. and Miss Annie Webb Blanton want seats in the lower house at Washington. There is this difference-—only one of the Fergusons can win; both of the Blantons may do so. ; At present the quartet are candi- dates in the clemm:ratlc state primar- ies. “Farmer Jim" Ferguson was gov- ernor, but lost the office through im- peachment proceedings. Nevertheless he has strength, especially among the farmers. Also he favors a referen- dum on the question of exempting beer and light wines from the pro- hibition ban. But he bolted the democratic organization in 1920, to become American party presidential candidate. For this reason he feared the state committee would refuse to put his name on the primary ticket for the senate. " He solved the prob- lem by inducing his wife to become a candidate too. Her name can't be kept off the ticket. Her husband reasons that the name ‘‘Ferguson' will attract ballots, whether there's a “Mr.” or a “Mrs." in front of it. Blanton seeks to succeed himself in congress from the Abliene district. His sister {5 a candidate from the Denton district, for the seat left va- ,cant by Congressman Lucian W. Par- ish's death.

Watson of the department of phy- sics of the University of Illinois. “'Speakers and singers can be heard more easily when their audience is composed chiefly of women than when it is preponderately masculine,” he said. ‘''This is because women, as ex- periments have shown, absorb more sound than men, owing to, the cloth- ing worn.” Prof. Watson, WOMEN'S HODES DO AFFECT AGOUSTICS Singers Gan Be Heard Better With Rudience of Fair Sex who analyzed the acoustic properties of the Municipal Pier here, and whose recommenda- tions for improvements were adopted by the city authorities, has devised Chicago, Ill,, June 22. — Women's modes have a direct effect on auditor- o ANNOUNCEMENT The Modern Auto Washing Station, for- merly of 167 Arch street, have opened more spacious quarters at 10 Chestnut street, for- merly occupied by Russell P.

It is an arc-light re- flector, which sends its hissing togeth- er with a beam of light to inaccessi- ble ceiling surfaces to determin2 the presence and paths of any echoes. As the sounds and the light take the same path, the light indicates the point in the ceiling surface where the sound strikes, and the angle of sound reflection is then mathematically com- puted. A standard organ pipe is blown and the time taken for the sound to die out is measured with a stop-watch. Trouble In Auditorium “The usual trouble in an auditor- ium,” said Prof, Watson “results from the fact that the walls do not absorb sound to any great extent, and conse- quently the word uttered by the speaker takes a long time to die out In the meantime other words are spoken that become confused with the sound of the first words. In cases hair felt should be placed on concentrate the sound in unexpected ways. Sound-fbsorbing materials are the usual corrective; cushions in the seats'are quite efficient, but in some cases hail felt should be placed on tle walls. The amount of felt needed is readily calculated from the acoustic properties of the room. “In a small room there is almost never any difficulty, but in large rooms the troubles increase, so that it is necessary to add sound absorbing materials in addition to the natural furnishings. The closer the walls are to each other, the more numerous are the reflections of sound per second, and the more rapid is the absorption of sound. “Sound travels from a apeaker at the rate of about a fifth of a mile a second. It is reflected from the walls of a room and very rapidly fills the entire volume. Because its action is a mystery to many laymen, though the theory has been carefully worked out by scientists, wrong ideas have grown up about acoustics. ‘For example, as much as seven miles of wire has been strung in an auditorium although wires as a prac- tical corrective for acoustic difficul- ties are useiess Best Coffee, 3 1bs. for $1.00. iBros.—advt. some | the matter with the Commissioner of CONVENTION 5 0 DISCUSS EDUCATION Disabled Veterans Will Gather In San Francisco June 26 San I'ranciseco, June 22,—Rehabili- tation of disabled Americad war vet- erans, upon the completion of a six or eight-months' contract school course, and throwing them on their own re- sources without definite employment, is to be aggressively fought at the coming national convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, according to statement made today by Willlam J. O'Connor of this city, national executive committee member. O'Connor claims that ar- rangements are soon to be put into effect whereby disabled and wounded war veterans, now in placement and vocational schools, will be obliged to accept diplomas at the termination of a regulation six or eight months' course in one particular branch, re- gardless of whether they are fitted for such occupation, or able to seCure em- ployment therein; and that, with these diplomas tendered them they will no Russell were made in the reign of longer be able to look for government aid, either financially, or in the ob- taining of permanent employment. Little Education, “Th2 greater percentage of the men who were wounded or disabled {nac- tion, are men of very little education,” declared O’'Connor in a statement the other day. He added: "'These men will be liabilities of the worst kind to our government, if steps are not taken to give them all the educa- tional opportunities and training ad- vantages possible, to assist them in their struggle for means to earn a liv- ing, without being dependent on oth- ers all their lives. If the proposed custom of issuing diplomas for one branch of training, after brief course only, is carried out, we will find many thousands of men in the streets of our large cities, in worse plight than ever; especially if they are not carefully safeguarded with government cooper- ation in obtaining decent employment at fair wages. A great deal more should be done than to merely gite these men a short training of fnstruc- tion in contract schools, where no par- ticular pains are taken to make cer- tain that the men are receiving the utmost of educational helps. The fu ture of the country and its good nam: are at stake in this matter, and we intend to make fhese practices thc subject of much discussion and ac tion at our national convention. i San Francisco, during the last wee in June."

RELIGIOUS WAR NOW THREATENING CHINA University Students Start an Anti-Christianity Movement Amoy, China, June 22.—The religi ous world of the Far East is stirred by an anti-Christian movement which started early in May among the sti- dent of Peking University, and is now rapidly spreading among the students of private and government schools throughout the country. These youngz people term Christianity a supersti- tion and harmful to the people, taking away reverence for ancestors and free- dom of thougrnt and action. ‘The new moicment has begun an energetic propaganda, which in turn has brought Christian leaders to the front, many of whom look upon the movement with grave misgivings, not knowing what will he the outcome. Others think it is simply the result| of a desire to organize somethi and that the best means of defeating it is to igore it Conditions provoking the organiza- tion of such a movement are said by Christian leaders to be the rapid pro- gress of Christianity in China, taken together with much talk and advertis ing of the recent World's Christian Student Conference and other confer- ences of a like nature held in this country. The students are declared to be unconscious tools in the hands of leaders who are seeking favorable conditions for the breaking up of or- ganized society and the working of Cominunistic ideas, The leaders of this anti-Christian movement are Dr. Tsai Yanpei, chan- cellor of the Peking National univer- sity, Wang Chaoming, secretary to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Chen Tu-siu, who is a socialist. Sub-organizations will no doubt spring up. A IFree Love society has already been formed among the students of Amoy University, Considering the possibility of an anti-foreign movement resulting, the local consular bodies have taken up iForeign Affairs who, however, pro- nounces himself unable to give any promise of protection in case of perse- cution. Already in a few places minor outbreaks of a hostile nature against missipn work have been reported, in spite of the claim by leaders of the movement that the purpose is to be nothing more than sive resistance IN CONVENTION Business Meeting in Stamford This Afternoon—Merritt Speaks Tonight MOOSE Stamford, June Moose—mem- bers of the Looyal Order, and not the antlered kind—herded here in large numbers today for their annual state| the feature of which will be fol- convention, be the parade tomorrow to lowed by an athletic meet.
