HOOVER WANTS 0.0. P. OFFICE SET IN CHICAGO President Prefers Campaign Headquarters Away From Capital. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, June 18. President Hoover Is believed to prefer Chicago as the national headquarters for the Republican presidential campaign. Reports are current in the capital that bot hthe major political parties, in fact, intend to establish their chief headquarters at Chicago. The Democrats open their convention there a week from Monday, an after that the two national committees will start the. long, hard campaign that ends in the November elections. The President himself expects to remain in or near Washington. But he prefers that the Republican national committee campaign headquarters be somewhere away from here. Several reasons enter into this desire, a chief one being the President’s wish to be left as free as possible to work out campaign strategy and carry on the work of government during the coming trying months. If the Republican headquarters were in Washington, or even on the Atlantic seaboard, scores and hundreds of persons with business with the campaign leaders would flock to the White House to talk over their specific grievances or problems with Mr. Hoover. Then again, the. political strategy of placing the Republican headquarters in the middle west will not be overlooked before the Anal dec isin is made. The states in the broad farming belt, from the Great Lakes to the Bulf of Mexico, are going to be of pivotal importance in the voting. Having the headquarters in that area will make it possible to carry on a more intensive campaign there. WOMAN DECLARED DEAD TWICE IN SINGLE DAY Revived First Time as Neighbors Pray; Last Collapse Is End. T.y l nilrd Press NEW YORK, June 18.—Mrs. Amelia Redino, 43, was declared dead twice Friday. Early in the afternoon, the woman suddenly collapsed from a heart attack, and was declared dead for four minutes. Three emergency crews, responding to her husband's call, worked over Mrs. Redino for four hours and finally succeeded in reviving her. Meanwhile, forty friends and ne "Thbors knelt in prayer on the street outside the house. Friday night Mrs. Redino again collapsed and all efforts to bring her back to life failed. FRIML FREED ON BOND Composer Arrested in Connection With Suit for $1,70(1.

He can’t dodge his title, even among a quiet group of friends. You can write his title, and name, with six letters of the alphabet.

If a nurse ever was in a hurry to call him to a patient’s bedside she’d have to say “Doctor Doctor! Oh! Doctor Doctor!” And it’s just this doubling up of profession and name in the same bed that causes more than one person to redden in the countenance as they speak or to quip with him. “And you can imagine that after years it does get to be stale.

A Tough Egg By United Press CHICAGO. June 18.—The question of whether a penguin is tame like a chicken or wild like an eagle today was referred to federal experts at Washington. And, consequently, visitors to the Republican national convention who hRd hoped to dine on the eggs of the rare bird were revealed as having been disappointed. Twenty dozen penguin sggs were shipped to a local hotel as a special convention delicacy. But Anthony Czarnecki, customs collector, held up the shipment on the suspicion that the penguin is a wild bird, and its eggs liable to seizure. When no local penguin authority could be found, the question was referred to Washington.

But I’ll admit I’ve never even asked my mother or father how it happened.

U. S„ UNEASY, REGARDS CHILE AS ‘DYNAMITE’ Explosion Likely to Come Any Time, View Taken by Washington. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. June 18.—Washington regards Chile uneasily as still “an open powder barrel” liable to blow up at any time, despite the dramatic return to power of Carlos Davila, former ambassador to the "United States. It still is touch and go which of the two Karls—Marx or Rodbertus, fathers of Communism and state Socialism—Chile will follow. For while the dapper and likable Davila is on top for the moment, another turn of the wheel may find him back on the bottom tomorrow. The tide in Chile today distinctly is towards the left. It seems to be merely a question of how far the government will swing. Even the bourgeoisie and former conservatives now are demanding state Socialism, w'hile mobs in the streets of Santiago, the capital, are pressing for something still more radical. U. S. Interests Important Davila again announces his intention to set up a purely Socialist state. To carry out his plans will require the expropriation of vast domestic and foreign-owned properties in Chile which, in all likelihood, would be paid for in Chilean currency and bonds. Under existing conditions these are inevitably of doubtful value, thus at least partial confiscation is feared. American interests in Chile are the most important in that country. They are estimated to be worth from $700,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. British interests are about half that. American interests are divided into two categories, namely investments in actual properties, like mines and public utilities, and bonds. The one amounts to some $440,000,000. the other $260,000,000, or an actually invested total of $700,000,000. Program Not Yet Concrete The most important single foreign interest in Chile is the nitrate company known as Cosach—Compania Salitre de Chile. This is a $363,000,000 concern, half of which is owned by the Chilean government, half by foreigners, principally the Guggenheims. Davila has yet to announce a concrete program, but a ‘pure Socialist state,” such as he favors, means that vast concessions would be made to the workers without destroying capitalism. The major sources of production, distribution and communications would be taken over by the state without destroying individual enterprices in toto. It would appear, therefore,, that foreign-owned nitrate, copper and other workings, public utilities and so forth, most of which are owned by Americans, stand to be taken over by the government. This would be with compensation of some sort, if Davila or his regime sticks, or without—if the extremists win out. U. S. ECONOMIZING ON SMOKES, TAXES SHOW Average American Isn’t Going to Theater so Often Either. By United Press WASHINGTON. June 18.—Government tax statistics reveal four ways in which Americans are economizing in these less prosperous times. The average person is smoking fewer ready-made cigarets and cigars. He isn’t, going to the theater so often, or buying as many new playing cards. And those who drink are buying less prescription liquor. Os course, the economizing extends in many other directions. These happen to be the items that are reflected in the new tax report of the bureau of internal revenue.

BUYING SPREE BEATING TAXES Thrifty Citizens Act: Rates Effective Tuesday. B/i United Press WASHINGTON, June 18.—Thifty citizens the country over have gone on a buying spree in order to avoid the new excise taxes which become effective in just three days. Reports to the bureau of internal revenue indicate that thousands of persons are saving pennies, and dollars, by last-minute purchases of gasoline, lubricating oil, tires, automobiles, mechanical refrigerators, cameras and other taxable items. In many localities merchants are advertising “pre-tax” sales. Wholesalers and retailers as well as individuals are building up reserve stocks of goods, for the new taxes do not apply to retail sales but only to those jpods which pass out of the hands of the manufacturers after midnight, June 20. INVITES GERMAN FLEET TO AMERICAN WATERS Governor of Virgin Islands Suggests Warships Take Winter Cruise. By United Press WASHINGTON. June 18. The German fleet may visit American territorial waters next winter for the first time since the World war. Governor Paul M, Pearson of the Virgin islands, an American possession in the Caribbean, called on German Ambassador Von Prittwitz Und Gaffron here and through him invited the German warships to visit the islands on a winter cruise. Governor Pearson recently invited the deposed German ruler, Kaiser Wilhelm, to spend a vacation in the Virgin islands. He has not yet replied.

Scale Shows How Common Noises Compare With One Another. Photograph by Science Service, Courtesy Electronics. B,y Science Serrice WASHINGTON, June 18.—Musicians measure the quality and pitch of sound. Now engineers have invented a yardstick for its loudness ; or volume. The new sound scale has been evolved to make more worth-while, studies prompted by the coming of i talking movies, and by a growing ! realization that noise is detrimental to the best operation of the human | machine. It gives engineers for the I first time a standard scale of vol- ! ume, corresponding to the scales of pitch and quality. How common noises compare with one another on this scale is shown in the diagram prepared by the technical magazine, Electronics Thunder with a volume of about 110 j decibels is to the human ear eleven ■ times as loud as the rustle of leaves | and about twice as loud as a vacuum i cleaner. But the energy required to make the noise of thunder is 10,000,000,000 times that which sets up the rustling sound of leaves and 1.000,000 ! times that giving rise to the vacuum I cleaner noise. Thus the ear is deceptive in the reception of sound. It registers j weak sounds much more efficiently ! than physically loud sounds. To ! the ear 100 violins are only twice as

loud as ten violins, though they are obviously ten times as intense. This apparent deception on the part of the ear simply is its protection from excessively loud sounds. The eye acts the same way to light, refusing to receive great intensities that would harm it. Fire Station Is Burned NORWOOD.

DEATH TOLL IN OIL SHIP BLAST MOUNTSJO 25 Divers and Firemen Risk Lives Seeking Bodies in Dock Wreckage. By United Press MONTREAL. June 18.—Divers and firemen risked their lives today among smoking steel plates and twisted wreckage of the British oil tanker Cymbeline, seeking bodies buried by three explosions which killed a score or more in dry dock here Friday. Officials of Canadian Vickers, Ltd., who checked the casualty lists, said they believed the death toll in the million dollar Are would reach twenty-five. Some bodies never may be recovered, because the explosion destroyed all trace of some men, they said. They fixed the casualty list as revised this morning at twenty-five dead, fifteen of whom are missing but accepted as dead. Thirtv-seven were listed as injured and in hospitals where thirteen were posted as “in danger.” The list of known dead included four Montreal firemen and six Vickers workmen who died in hospitals. Fifteen Vickers men are missing, believed dead, “blown to bits or buried in the debris." The four dead firemen included Fire Chief Raoul Gauthier, noted for his bravery. Eye witneses described the disaster, one of the greatest in the history of this city. They said workmen were busy in the drydock and aboard the ship when there came a great bulge amidships followed by a loud explosion. Flames shot 100 feet into the air. Most of the crew of thirty men were asleep aboard the Cymbeline, but none was killed. Workmen, blinded by the explosion, their clothing aflame, ran screaming for help. A second explosion followed tearing the ship almost in half. The third blast came in a huge burst of flame and deafening roar, totally wrecking the tanker and the dry dock. Authorities immediately began an investigation, but it has been hampered by condition of the wreckage. SSOO IN CASH A CHANCE TO WIN ... AT NO COST TO YOU!
