Kaltenborn, associate editor of The Eagle, couldn't help but use his "deaf old lady" story on the contestants again to get them to speak audibly.

It worked! Commissioner Albert Goldman of the Department of Plant and Struc tures had a good laugh on Comp troller Charles Berry last night. And in a broadcasting room or not he had to laugh. To suppress It was impossible. You see, one contestant didn't know who Charles Berry was. Dr.

Joseph M. Sheehan, associate superintendent of schools, who was pinch-hltting as a Judge for Superintendent of Schools William J. O'Shea, was highly amused and after it was all over told the radio audience it was the best educational history course that could be given, thanks to The Eagle. Folks by the radios didn't see it but Miss Adeline, the Johnson girl who ran away with the honors again, yawned four times while waiting for her turn. Up too late the night before "cramming," she confessed.

But it paid, didn't It? Fitty dollars In a gold chunk and a nice $170 radio set. Said John Smith Friday nlht after ho took third in the contest: "I'm hoping to win the radio event."

For the second time in a week, Miss Adeline Johnson of Girls High School, quiet, gray-eyed daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. Johnson ol 367 Halsey st brought signal honor to herself and her school when she won The Eagle's annual current events radio bee, broadcast last night over Station at the Municipal Building, Competing against 33 opponents last Friday at James Madison High School, Miss Johnson won a gold medaf for herself and a loving cup lor school. Last riir, competing against the 16 outstanding opponents from that bee, she again came out the winner.

Was it luck or not that she won? "It was not," said Adeline quietly last night when the bee was over. "I knew the answer to every question that was asked." Obviously Knew Answers. There was no boasting in that statement. Adeline is as modest about her own prowesses her great-grandmother might have been. It was a plain statement of truth.

Watching the complete self-confidence during the contest devoid of cocksuieness it was obvious that she did know tho answer to all 104 of the questions ar.ked. Surprised and delighted over her triumph, Adeline left the "mike" alter answering the final winning question, a little weak from excitement, a little bewildered by theud-oenness with which she won, a little amazed at. her own prowess, but profoundly plea.sod. She had good reason to be plea.sed. Her triumph represented the culmination of two years of more or less steady work.

Last year she fcrved as alternate when Girls High sent Its team Into the contest. That, she said, gave her background. This year she went In as one of the two representatives of her school, with Miss Elsie Cohen (1928) winner of the radio bee, and completed her study of current history.

Highlights ing High boy, too the school that took second at James Madison. Someday Miss Miriam Maiman may know Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt personally, she hopes. She had to know a lot about Mabel last night. For in the first two questions asked her, the answer was directly or indirectly Wlllebrandt. "Coming in fine" wired a radio enthusiast from up Westchester way along in the middle of tho contest.

"Only have one lellow talk a little louder." It wasn't because he didn't talk loud enough, but 4 feet 11, Arnold Cohen of Boys' High Just couldn't get near the mike. So It was lowered to his level. Commissioner of Plant and Structures Goldman finally came around to act as Judge. It took him two years and then he came late. Harry Johnson, father of the double' winner, kept saying: "She can't be beat.

She can't be beat." She wasn't. At the first break In the questioning there were only eight contestants left. There were more casualties in a shorter time than at any other radio bee. The first girl to be eliminated glided Into the reception room with tear-quivered eyes. Klie edmits.

however, that she will return to win next year. Adeline Johnson Brings Additional Honors to Girls High. Relegate one more of those time honored notions to the Umbo ot Action that one about women knowing nothing and car lng less about the things that go on the world of events around them, A tall, slim girl with an engaging nfie and a green dress "showed ra" last Trlday night that it Isn't true when she pitted her knowledge ot current events against 33 other students In high schools throughout Brooklyn and djueens at James Mad ison High School and walked of! with first honors In the 14th annual Brooklyn Dally Eagle Current Event Bee. Last night she con vinced 'em she won again, The occasion last night was the fifth, annual Eagle Radio Bee broadcast over Station from the Municipal Building In Manhattan Seventeen contestants who had made the best showing for their respective schools in the event last Friday night were brought together for this laboratory test on current history. Thirteen boys started the grind as against only four gtrls.

Adeline Johnson of Girls High School stood alone at the finish. Knew Who Succeeded Whom. It was shortly after 8:30 when H. V. Kaltenborn, associate editot of The Eagle, who acted as chairman and Interrogator, took his place before the microphone and after a lew introductory remarks got the contest under way.

It was exactly one hour later when Adeline correctly named Rdbert W. Stewart as the man whom Edward O. Seubert succeeded. A boy John Smith of Manual Training High School who at that time was the only one who stood between Adeline and victory, a few seconds before had been forced to admit that he did not know whom Seubert succeeded. This final break, which came on the 104th question, made this contest one ot the shortest In the 14 years of general and five years of radio competition.

With the final correct answer recorded, there was Just one more ceremony to perform before the event could pass into history. That was the official verdict of the judges designating Adeline as the winner. And this was speedily attended to by the four who presided over the contest as Judges. They were Joseph M. Sheehan, Associate Superintendent of Schools; Albert Goldman, Commissioner ot Plant and Structures; John D.

Flynn, secretary to Police Commissioner Whalen, and Harry T. Madden, business manager of The Eagle. Wins $50 and Radio Set. And with the contest officially ter, there was that additional ceremony to perform dividing the "spoils" among the victors. To Adeline went $50 In gofti and a $170 Majestic console radio set.

To John Smith went $25. To Morris S. Schnapper of Brooklyn Evening High School, who won third honors, went $15. To Arnold Cohen of Boys High School, who garnered fourth place, went $10. The bee officially started as Mr.

Kaltenborn called each of the 17 entrants to the microphone, where they introduced themselves to the radio audience. They were then lined uo in single file away from the microphone in the order ot their appearance, and with everything set Mr. Kaltenborn produced a long sheet ot paper crammed with every conceivable kind ot question on events of the day. The first contestant stepped up to the micro phone. Mr.

Kaltenborn turned to the Initial question. The contest was on. Didn't Know Mrs. Owen There was no trouble with the first question. It was the Cambridge crew that bad defeated Oxford on the Thames last Saturday.

What woman addressed the Bar Association oC the city of New York last week? That was easy. Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt. But naming a woman member ot the House of Representatives from Florida was another thing. One of the girl contestants didn't know that she was Mrs. 'Ruth Bryan Owen, and so the first flag fell.

Each contestant was supplied with two small flags and when a question was missed one of the flags had to be forfeited. When both flags were relinquished the contestant was automatically out ot the contest, according to the rules. More contestants stepped up and took questions some failed. What law was nicknamed the Five and Ten? A boy failed on that one. He had no Idea it was the Jones Law.

and 10 cent stores." He thought It was "against the 5 "A cradle has been set up in the White House for whom?" Two Generations Away on Answer. "Mr. and Mrs. Hoover," one of the boy entrants replied without hesitation. He was two generations out of the way.

Herbert Hoover 3d, grandson of the President, will lie in the cradle. The contestants were failing fast on questions now. Queries on general politics were stumping them. They did not know that Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon said last week that now is the time for prudent investors to buy bonds. They did not know that President Hoover favors limited revision and Is opposed to general revision of the tariff.

They did not know that Senator James E. Watson of Indiana ns taken Vice President Curtis' place as majority leader in the Senate. They did not know that President Hoover desires to shift the Prohibition unit from the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice. That is, each of these questions stumped one of the contestants. Each question was put to only one entrant until the final, when one of the last two contestants standing missed one.

"Reach for a what instead of a sweet?" That was easy. No need for even a blindfold test oh that one. Adeline Missed One Only. "Gerardo Machado is President of what country?" This question was put to Adeline Johnson. "Nica-lagua," she replied.

She was wrong. The answer is Cuba. The contest was only half over. Two-thirds of the contestants were still in the contest. Could Adeline survive? One more miss and she'd be out, Of course, Jack Sharkey was thi who won a 10-round bout in Miami and Maj.

H. O. Scgrave Adeline's masculine took her victory wKii chivalry, ttoys Consoled She'll opponents magnificent He Out in Arnold Cohen of Hoys High was the first to congratulate her on victory. And among the others who cheered, perhaps a little enviously, wa.s Morris S. Schnapper of Brooklyn Evening High School, one or the last four to go down.

Morris shook hands with the victor and then said meaningly, "Are you going to be In this next year?" Adeline shook her head. "Well, that's some consolation," he said. Among the Interested spectators in the broadcasting room was the winner's father, Harry K. Johnson. Mrs.

Johnson, Adeline's two brothers and a sister listened to the contest at home. Adeline is the oldest of the children and next come William, who Ls a student at Brooklyn Tech and who, Mr. Johnson predicted, will be a contestant in next year's bee.

On what day will the special til miii- tilt Ljt-tJi b.i Girls Who Lost Plan to Win Four excited, serious-minded girls with heads crammed full of current events, entered the studio of Station in the Municipal Building, last night to compete against 13 boys in The Eagle's annual radio bee. One of them, Adeline Johnson, won the contest. Three of them left with the determination to start Immediately in preparation for next year's bee.

Undaunted by their fail ure this year, they departed with the conviction that they had laid a firm foundation for success next year. The g'ris were Miss Miriam Malman of 7714 78th the daugn- ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M.

Malman, representing Girls Commercial High; Miss Mareuirite Marsnaii oi 73d daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Marshall representing Bay Rtdge High School, and Miss Ada Welssman of 583 Ralph daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

S. Welssman, representing Thomas Jefferson High School. Eliminated With Regularity. The girls were eliminated from the contest with almost predictable regularity. Miss WeLssman was the secona contestant to go out.

Miss Marshall was the sixth. Miss Maiman stayed through the first period but went down as the eleventh contestant in the second period. Miss Johnson won the match. Total Questions Varied. The questions the girls faltered on were widely varied in type.

Miss Welssman didn't know what Ameri Is Interested' in speedboat and motorcar racing. Questions on sports were easy. But Bishop Manning is not a minister associated with the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn. The entrant who missed that one knows now that the Rev. Dr.

S. Parkes Cadman is the pastor of that church. Not Mr. Coolidge's Farewell. "On March 4 some one told the U.

S. Senate, 'I have nothing to take Who was it?" One of the entrants chose to believe that it might have been Mr. Coolidge who made that remark on his way out. Mr. Dawes made the remark and the contestant lost a flag his last one.

The field was narrowing down now. There were Just four left. Who would drop out first? that was the question. Arnold Cohen thought George Akerson was a cor poration counsel instead of being secretary to President Hoover and relinquished Ills last flag. Morris Schnapper used up his full time limit of 30 seconds without making any attempt to name the chairman of the Board of Transportation.

Girl and Boy Fight It Out. There were now just two left-Adeline Johnson and John Smith. Each had one flag left. "Who is acting Secretary of War In Mexico?" "Calles." Adeline was right. "Name an officer of the Senate who attends Cabinet meetings." "Curtis." John was right.

"Why has the April Issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine had an un usual sale?" "Because former President Cool idge wrote an article for it." Ade line was right. The Fatal Question. "Whom did Edward G. Seubert succeed?" John hesitated for a moment. "Will you please spell that last name?" John requested.

"S-e-u-b-e-r-t." Mr. Kaltenborn had readily complied with the re Quest. "I don't know," "John finally said Wins $15 on Birthday Fifteen dollars as third prize in The Eagle radio bee was a rather nice birthday gift, thought Morris Schnapper, 17, Brooklyn Evening High student, last night. He added it to a fund lor a typewriter, because he is a scribe and Horace Greeley admirer, 'jk 9 7 tLiVI in I Out in Bee in 1930 Event can left Geneva last week, saying, "Well, we have made or tt'hn ha tnlcnn Ptnnntnr PnrtU's nlnee as majority leader of the Senate. I But Miss Welssman admitted that her preparation for the whole bee had been hurried, and that this week will see her starting to get ready for next year's contest.

I Miss Marshall missed on New York projects and famous quotations. She didn't know what boros the trlboro bridge will connect or what famous American said in Jerusalem this month, "My father at 89 Is still stronger than I am." It was John D. Rockefeller Jr. Fatal Questions Varied. Quotations proved the Waterloo of Miss Maiman also, who didn't know what national figure recently said, "Now Is the time to buy bonds." The correct answer was Andrew W.

Mellon. More amazing was her second failure when she admitted she could not name a minister connected with the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn. The Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, of course, the right reply.

Miss Maiman and Miss Weinman early in the evening admitted their conviction that much depended on the "breaks" they got in the questions. But when Miss Johnson won to victory without benefit of breaks, they were not so sure they'd planned correctly. Next they declared, there would be no relying on chance. Next year they would be among those who receive medals and are Interviewed, and who pose for photographers. This year was only training, they said.

resignedly as his 30-second period was Just about up. "Whom did Edward G. Seubert succeed?" It was now up to Adeline. "I think he succeeded Stewart of the Indiana Oil Company," Adeline said without hesitation. The Bee was over.
