by Secretary Daniels in the Navy

success of her recent wireless con-
cert for American jackies.
The great singer broke the
worlds record for the wireless
transmission OF the human voice in
New York City. Friday night. De-
cember 8, when strains from Some
where a Voice Is Calling and
other operatic selections were
picked up 500 miles away in Louis
willie, KY.
Mime. fetrazzinis feat exceeds
the previous record held by a wire
less concert given in London which
was heard 500 miles away in Ge-
neva.
Daniels felicitated the famous
soprano upon her achievement.
Pretty soon it won't be safe
even to think!-will it?" the Sec
retary exclaimed, quoting Shake
speare's lines in which he makes
Puck say, I'll put girdle round
about the earth in forty minutes"
The diva acknowledged with a
gracious smile and a characteristic
Italian gesture of her hands.
Il rejoice to think that America
holds the worlds record" said Dan
iels.
The colorful personality OF the
vivacious Luisa' illumined the
sombre atmosphere of the Navy
office just as her golden voice has
thrilled the souls of countless thou
sands. Like a patch of color from
stageland. she lighted for a moment
the gloomy pile of the State, War
and Navy Building
Daniels bowed the .vivacious fig

GoodMorning,

Virginia Customs.
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Nrgfnia Custons.
Lucian Payne comes from some
where down in Virginia.
He told Judge Hardison that down
there it was a common habit with
hold-up men to rap you over the
coco even If they knew you had but
nickel.
Payne was arrested in a local mis-
sion after Policeman Browning had
received information that tA man
had a gun and was looking f5r blood.
In his pockets he had about a mil
lion pairs of shoe strings and nu-
merous pencils. He said he sold them
for a living.
Il amt had no breakfast yet,
Judge" Payne said.
You are not charged with having
your breakfast" said the court.
What about this gun?"
Il did not know it was against
the law to have one," the man
answered. 81 got it to keep from be-
ing robbed"
The court thought over that re-
mark about the Virginia hold up
men and decided that it was a very
foolish statement
Consequently Payne was sent to
Jail for mental observation.
Slnpstick stun Costs Them SO Each.
One windy afternoon Jim Stynes
was walking up the street with a
load OF lumber on his shoulder.
Something in the chicken line
passed him and he turned his head.
As he did so he poked Al Thompson
IN the neck with a board.
While Jim apologized profusely 1t
did not seem to satisfy Al, who. 1t
seemed. went away with a grudge
in his heart.
That night they both met In a
poolroom. Jim had the cue in his
hand and. according to Al. was
swinging it carelessly around.
Watch yohseff, cullud man." Al
warned. ''Yo' Is got a mighty mean
swing with a stick. All doesn't
want to git poked agin"
EFF yo' doan LAX nah ways
scoffed Jim. 'yo' kin disperse yoh-
self from heah bubble quick en- even
sooner"
Al didn't. He accumulated him
self quickly and pounced on Jim
and cracked him a good one with
the cue. Then they clinched.
Hes to blame, Jedge," said Al in
court.
Amt not nuthin' Of the kind,
Jedge," snapped Jim. That man his
self started it"
1t made no difference who started
il. The court finished 1t by hand
ing the bad news to each to leave
SO fine with the clerk.
Strong Profanity Somewbere-weak
Evidence in Court.
Policemen Antonelli and Neale of
No. 8 were standing at the corner
of First and r streets northwest
early one morning.
Suddenly the two men were nearly
stunned by a barrage of swear word $
coming from some irate person a
block and a half away.
A little later on they arrested
Tom Flynn, driver Of a bread wagon,
and charged him with disorderly
conduct In order that the city's
bread supply might go on undis-
turbed, they required him to put
up IS collateral and let him go.
There was another man on the
wagon with Flynn. This man was
brought In as a witness. He had
perfectly good ears.
Lam a good hearer. Judge" the
witness said, "and 1 did not hear
any cuss words. I was sitting be-
side Flynn all the time"
But the policemen swore that IL
was Flynn who swore so loudly.
They did not, however. account for
the fact that a man sitting beside
Flynn heard no profanity.
The court dismissed the case be-
cause of a want OF sufficient eyi.
dence against the man.
