WOMEN’S MOTOR CORPS
FIGHTS FLU EPIDEMIC
DKNVKK. Dec 27—The women's
motor corps of the Red Cross did
heroic work in lighting the epidemic
of Spanish influenza in Denver, many
members often giving assistance to
victims of the malady up to the mo
ment when they were stricken them
selves.
One of the self imposed duties oi
the corps was the distribution of gal
lons of soup made by the National
Dengue for Women's Service. In
many instances members of the corps
have gone into sick rooms to serve
patients. Cases of dire need have
been discovered by them. In in
stances where they found entire fami
lies ill and often without sufficient
bedding they have collected these arti
cles from their own homes and front
friends.
Members of the corps also used
their cars in carrying patients to hos
pitals.

AVIATORS ARE
POSSESSED OF
GOOD VOICES
LOS ANOKLKS. Dec 27. Nearly
all aviators and radio operators pos
sess musical ability and were born
, early in the life of their mother pa
rent. Kxpert mathematicians never
j become good musicians Only 12 per
j cent of the men who graduate from
! college have low-pitched voices.
I These were among the recently an
| nounced discoveries of Theophilus
I Pitz of this city as the result of
twelve years of research during
which over eighteen thousand tests i
were made in high schools hero and
in New York and in colleges and mu
sical conservatories in many parts of
tho country.
Other facts revealed by his studies,
he said, were that the appreciation of
rhythm and rhythmic sound was more
developed in children born of young
mothers than those of mothers of mid
dle ago; and that dramatic ability was
* also the result of early motherhood;
that men who have high or medium
high voices were inclined toward the
professions and arts, and that during
the past 100 years more babies were
born who developed soprano or tenor
voices than of the contralto or bass
type.
In his studies Mr. Pitz undertook
to demonstrate a theory that the qual
ity, quantity and compass of tin* hu
man voice and tin* musical aptitude
of an individual could be definitely de
termined during the years of his ado
lescence. His theory, he said, was
; amply supported by the numerous j
| tests he had made.
His diagnosis of tin* musical apti-j
tude of a pupil, in* said, required no ^
test of tin* voice, the examination con- i
sisting of a series of questions and a
few measurements to determine tin*
extent of tin* resonance cavities oi
the head. One series of questions re
lated to physical characteristics, an
other to educational attainments and
others to temperamental traits One
of the questions asked was "Are you
a twin?" Mr. Pitz said he had dis
covered early in his experiments that
; a diagnosis of the musical aptitude ot
I a twin was impossible.
NEW COUNTY SEAT
SHORTENS DISTANCE
SALT LAKH CITY. Dev J7 It Is
fifty miles from Manila. 1'tah, to Ver
nal. ('tail, as the i row Hies. Hut it
Is 1,000 utiles between those two
points during about nine months of
each year, and this mileage between
! these two towns is the reason an ad
j ditional county was organized in (’tali
two years ago. with Manila as the
i county seat of the new political sub
division.
Manila formerly was in t'intah
county, the county seat of which was
I Vernal. The county seat virtually
was inaccessible from Manila during
a long period of each year, due to
high mountains, a forest and other
barriers. In this contingency Manila
citizens having business at Vernal
could journey to the county seat
north to Green Itiver, Wyo., thence to
Cheyenne, from there to Denver. I’u
1 eblo and Grand Junction, Colo., and ,
thence over the Cintah railway and
stage I ne to Vi . oaf \n optional
route was to journey west to Ogden,)
to Salt Lake, to I'rovo, and Spring
viHe. via the Denver A- lllo Grande i
( railroad to Mack. Colo,, and there;'
take the Cintah railway and stage
line to Vernal
And so It came about that Daggett
county was created, with less than
50f» population, who cast less than loo
votes at any election. Manila was I
made the county seat, the citizens ol
the new county consenting to assume j
tho responsibility and expense of
county government to obviate a jour- j
ney of 1,000 miles to their county
seat.
