Butler of 82 Win- ter street, also o member of the foot- ball’ squad, was clected president -of the junior class, So close was the count in the senior class that it was first announced that the ballot had not determined a choice for the pres- idency and another election would be held tomorrow morning. This notice was later countermanded by . official announcement that Murtha had. the Mecessary votes and was declared Jelected. Robert Halloran and Dom- .inle Naples, the other: nominees se- pured almost an equal amount of v votes, S In the junior class, Butler was welected by the narrow. margin of one .Vote, defeating R. Covert who was s president. of the class in his fresh- man year and treasurer during the ®wophomore year, and G. Herman. In the same class the vote for sec- retary was so cloge that a .count showed no candidate having the/ votes necessary for election and accordingly a second ballot will be taken tomor- row.

Officers named by the senior class to serve with President Murtha are: Vice-president, Miss Edith Peterson; secretary, Constance Taylor; treasur- er, Paul La Har.

PUBLIC ENDORSES NOBEL PRIZE AWARD Swedish [nstitate Ammounces Rea- sons Jor Ghoice of Winners Stockholm, Dec. 20.—The reashns for ite choice of prize winners in this year's awards o6f $200,000 have been announced by the Nobel Institute. This Swedish 'institution awards an- nual prizes of $40,000 each for nota- ble achievement in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, litera- ture, and in the cause of peace. Some- times the list of ‘names selected is more or less surprising to the pub- lic at large, but in geneéral the wisdom and insight of the judges is endorsed. Literature Award. The award in literature, ' which seems to arouse more popular inter- est than any other, goes this year, not to Thamds Hardy, 'as had been hoped by his' Swedish™ friends, but to the Spanish playwright Jacinto Bena- vente who, though little known out- side of his own country, is said to have done mrore than any other dra- matist to modernize, and bring fresh stimulus to the Spanish theater. He has written ahout 80 plays during the ' last 80 years, His comedies of so clal satire are directed at contempo rary life in Spaih, and he is not un- like Bernard Shaw in his abllity to hold up the mirror to human nature. He is origfhal ih ‘paint of view, and refined in style.* in Physics. ' Professor Albert Einstein, of Ger- many, recefved the 1921 prize in physics, not for his famous theories of relativity, but for his discovery and elucidation of a law regarding elec- trons and the photo-electric effect of atoms. “This law,” sald a prom- inent Swedish scientist, “is the bridge which leads from theories concerfing atomatic structure to facts which can be experimentally verified.” 1922 Prize. The physics prize for 1922 goes to Professor Niels Bohr of 'Denmarks, who is only 387 years of age and the youngest person who has ever re- ceived a Nobel prize, for his discov- ery of methods by which the inner structure of atoms may be studied. He has, in fact, been able to con- struct atoms artificlally which corre- spond in substance and spectrum an- alysis' to the natural particles. Pro- fessor Bohr is of the opinion that every sclentific advance, even those which for a time may seem only aca- demic and fruitless, will some day have a direct practical value to hu- manity. 3 This Year's. Awards. No announcement. of awards of this year's prizés for medicine and peace have been made. ‘It will be remem- bered that- Americans have = already capturéd 'three pedce prizes. . Theo- dore Roosevelt, Eiihu -Root, and Woodrow Wilsou were the winners in 1906, 1912, and 1919 respectively. The Nobel Institute was established by the will of Alfred Nobel, Swedish scientist, best known for his inven- tion of dynamite, who bequeathed his entire fortune- of 30,000,000 kronor, about $8,000,000 for this purpose. The first annual prizes were distrib- uted in 1901, London, Dec. 20.

BIG YIELD IN 192 More Than 80,000 Cars Shipped Up to November 17 Buffalo, Dee. 20.-~Vineyards of the United States produced a bumper crop of grapes in 1022, Total carlbt ship- ments from all sectlions up to and in- cluding November 17th were 061,264 cars, an jncrease compared with 1921 of 14,062 cars, or about 36% per cent, according to a summary lssued by the state department of farms and lnmrkols. In the 61 thousand odd cars were a total of 1,025,080,000 pounds of {grapes, which would be sufficient to |supply approximately ten pounds of grapes to every individual in the | United States. They were worth, at an averave price of $70 a ton, $35,- 860,000, Two causes contributed to make the season a profitable one for eastern grape growers, A car shortage in the west cut California’s normal ship- ments about 35 per cent, and there was an Increased demand for private consumption and grape juice manu- facturers in the east, It also was a year of unprecedented yields in east- ern vineyards, New York, Pennsylvania and Mich- igan,, the three principal grape states, made enormous gains in carlot ship- ments, and there also was a heavy movement by truck because of the prevailing car shortage in the east as well as in the west. Michigan figures show a gain in shipments of 371 per cent; Pennsylvania, 288 per cent, and New York 201 per cent. The crop of these three states alone brought approximately $10,000,000. Truck shipments in the three states, which are not included in the department's | figures, are estimated at 20,000 tons, worth another million and a half dollar: Statistics on destinations Michigan - New crop show that Pittsburgh took the lurgest number of cars for the sea- son, with a total of 1,726. Philadel- phia was sccond with 1,476 cars. Other large distributing points for the crop were: Chicago 1,141 cars; Bos- ton 1,082 cars; Cleveland 8 cars, and New York city 582 cars. The city farthest from the productive centers (o market grapes in volume was St. L.ouis, with 157 cars of Michigan fruit, five from Pennsylvania, and 26 cars from New York state. Milwaukee took 186 cars from Michigan, 12 from Pennsylvania, and 21 fnom New York. The price paid by grape juice fac- tories this year averaged $65 a ton, compared with $130 in 1920 and $96 in 1919, No grapes were pressed in 1921 because of the high tax and the poor condition of the crop, due te early frosts. The lowest price on rec- ord at grape julce factories was in 1897 when $10 a ton was the aver- age. of the FIX STATUS OF ACCEPTANCE, . ‘Washington, Dec. 20.—Bankers' ac- ceptance of six months maturity, drawn by growers of staple -agricul- tural products or cooperative market- ing associationd, are eligible for pur- chase or re-discount by the federal reserve banks under a ruling promul- gated today by the federal reserve board as a step in the direction of York - Pennsylvania ; BANKS CANAIDIN PROMOTING READING President of Association Says They Can Bring Books to Public Milwaukee, Wis, TDee, 20,—~The part that banks can play in bringing to the attention of their customers the desirability, pleasure and profit to be gained by reading good books, is shown in an article by J.
