- NAME_MENTIONED Saggested by Meredith As i o Washington, Feb, 14 (M—Newton D. Baker, secretary of war under Pregident Wilson, was boomed- by Edwin T. Meredith of lowa yester- day as one of the leading choices of the *dry. and progressive demo- crats” for the presidential nomina- tion. Mr, Meredith, who is a former secretary of agriculture, declared he ‘was not a candidate. He asserted that there was *“a strong anti-Smith or anti-wet sentiment in the middle ‘west" among democrats and that the Jowa delegation to the democratio convention at Houston “would be for a dry and progressive candidate.” “Baker has taken a stand on for- eign policies, the dry question and other issues which should gain him the support of the progressive dem- ocrats of the country,” Mr. Mere- dith said. Speaking of the republican presi- dential situation, Mr. Meredith de- clared that in the middle west and Iowsn there was a ‘‘good deal of Hoover and Lowden sentiment but the support for Lowden was the stronger.” 1,000 JOIN IN SEARCH FOR MISSING DEPUTIES Disappeared Last Tuesday With Two Prisoners En Route to State Reformatory Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 14 (UP)— More than 1,000 special deputies continued search today for Deputy Sheriffs Wallace McClure and John P. Grove, missing since early last Tuesday when they left with two prisoners for the state reformatory at Pendleton, Ind. Belief that the two deputies were murdered by their prisoners grew as extensize search revealed no trace of cither the officers or the prisoners. McClure and Grove left here Tues- day with the prisoners, S8amuel Bax- ter and John Burna, handcuffed to- gether in the rear seat of an auto- moblle, The automobile, its windshield shattered and marked by several bullets, was found in a garage at Decatur, Ill, Saturday. Location of the bullet holes led to the belief the two officers had been shot from the rear of the car. Baxter and Burns, under sentence for robbery, were last seen in Dan- ville, Tll., Tuesday when they called at the home of Otto 8mith, an uncle of John Burns. Residents along the highway be- ported having heard shots Tuesday tween Lafayette and Pendleton re- morning. A hat. said to have been identified as Grove's, was found & few miles south of Lafayette. Sheriff Charles Johnson, in charge of the searching parties, said the de- tailed search of all bulldings, ponds, creeks and wooded tracts would be continued until the missing deputles. ‘were found. Five Cent Loaf of Bread Returns to Philadelphia Philadelphia, Feb. 14 (M — The five-cent loat of “before the war” returned to Philadelphia yesterday and, fike the prodigal son, it was welcomed with open arms The first reaction of housewives to the advertised return of the five- cent loaf was skeptical and they went to the stores carrying copies of the advertisement. Officials of the chain store cor- poration making the reduction said that “bread was never lower than five eents and now it is back to the pre-war price.” During the war the price was seven cents a loaf and in January, 1927, it was reduced to six cents. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS of the Bell Telephone laboratories have prepared a trap for persons who feign deafness. Utilising several principles of paychology, they have developed a new method of testing hearing which in its operation is quite in- dependent of the accuracy or truth- fulness of*the subject’s responses. An improved audiometer that per- mits the test tones to be switched to either ear or to both is the me- chanical factor in the method. A few tricks of the psychologist do the rest. “For instance,” says W. L. Betts of the laboratories’ apparatus de- velopment department, “if a loud tone sounds in the left ear, the left eye blinks ever so slightly, although the patient may claim that all is silent as Sahara.” Conduction of sound by the bones of the skull is another means of in- vestigating asserted deafness, “At a more or less definite vol- ume,” Betts explains, “sound im- pressed on one ear will be conducted totally deat in one ear he could hear by bone conduction to the other when a tone of sufficient loudness was applied to the deaf ear, “Another effective test to avoid misrepresentation by the subject is ito have him read aloud from a book {in his natural voice while a tone {18 switched from ear to ear. Use is then made of two facts of psy- |chology — that the sound of onc's voice is necessary for the regula- |tion of his voice intensity, and that {one's own voice can be drowned out {by a loud tone. A person of normal hearing in both ears will not change the volume of his voice as the tone is ;swl(chcd back and forth because, at {all times, he has one ear with which {he can hear himself talk. He will Iraise his voice and almost shout, |however, when the tone is switched on both ears at the same time, as when his own voice is drowned out. Were the subject actually deaf in |one ear he would raise his voice |every time the tone was put on the |one ear in which he could hear. “A similar test may be used for |reader is actually able to hear, If ing. “Where deafness is claimed In one ear, the tone may be switched and forth from one ear to the other.
