Thirty two thousand amateurs in
GLIDING some young women are llcens-
ed wireless operators according to
a statement made to me by Secretary
Hoover, who gave additional facts !

lengths or different degree of wireless
force that can be used without inter-
ference with the nearest power he
saws numbers 100. At an information
al conference it was agreed that the
limited States could control AZ of
these wave lengths and they are now
used by this government in wireless
operations. A limited number have
been leased to private interests, with
right of cancellation at any time, but
as he says, when some of these inter.
ests have invested millions of dollars
in their wireless plant it raises
question Of moral of not legal right
when cancelling private leases. In
order to encourage the youth of the
land in wireless experiments he decid-
ed to issue license in each case on
payment of fifty cents to any amateur
operator and to thus arouse interest
in radio service. Mr.. Hoover said he
asked Secretary of the Navy DENLY,
some time ago to have the Naval rad

The Celebration, July 4, 1896
The following notes are clipped
from the Journals account of the 4th
O. July celebration held in River Falls
in 1896:
Among the leading floats in the
parade were those of Chapman Bros,
druggists; John feelings, painter; and
F. A. Bracket.
Among those prominent in the COM
edy section of the parade were Jay
VIM, Warren Knowles, Clarence bod
ge and Peter Lumberg, the latter with
two goats.
\ On one of the floats were the fol-
lowing girls, who sang at intervals
during the march to Clark's grove,

los let down for a brief time each day
their 1900 power wave length to the
200 wave length used by amateurs so
that now every day a message goes
over the land from the Navy service
to all the $4,000 amateurs who are on
duty able to receive it. Mr.. Hoover
said he was considering issuing some
sort of diploma to those most expert
who sent in reasonably correct reports
of the daily naval messages received.
A further step in wireless develop
ment was disclosed when on the same
cay he discovered youngster from
Washington who had made arrange
ments to receive wireless telephone
messages from the Dempsey arpen-
tier contest two hundred miles dis
tant in New Jersey, and that such
telephone wireless could be carried
about 400 miles.
The tariff bill numbering 346 pages
and covering several thousand distinct
items was reported in by the majority
of the Ways and Means Committee
last Wednesday. Up to the last NOM
ent the Republican members OF the
committee were in constant session
trying to reach agreement on some
of the most important schedules. AS
a whole the bill is believed to average
lower than the Payne tariff rates, but
some of the rates are higher. One
Of the most serious differences of
opinion arose over the dye embargo
provision finally inserted in the bill
over a vigorous protest after it had
been eliminated several weeks ago.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1921-07-07

This embargo gives dye monopoly
the sole right to control prices and
production of all dyes that are manu-
featured in this country without per-
hitting any foreign importations OF
similar dyes. With dyes not manu-
featured in this country the proposed
law places so many obstacles in the
way as practically to prevent all i'm
portations and compel American con-
sumers to use domestic dyes which
today cost about four times pre-war
Prices due largely to the monopoly.
1t is conceded at the outset that the
Underwood laws has permitted many
products of Japanese and cheaper
European labor to displace American
products and the new bill sought to
adjust such differences. All legisla
ton is the result of compromise and
on committee where extreme high
tariff members were confronted with
those who believe protection does
not mean prohibition of imports it has
required much tact on the part of
Chairman Fordney to report out bill
that is likely to be amended in import
ant particulars by the House and is
sure to be changed before it passes
the Senate to become law. Practic-
ally all of July will be taken in tariff
discussion and amendments of the
most important provisions of the bill
that forms good sized book in APP
pearance and, as the writer knows, is
the result of many days of hard con-
scientious work on the part of all COM
mittee members.
The Borah disa rmament amendment
placed in the naval bill was passed
practically unanimously last week. 1t
provides that the President be urged
to secure cooperation Of Great Britain
and Japan in a stoppage of the present
wild naval program and looking to a
rapid reduction of naval ornaments
of the three greatest navies. Efforts

to neutralize its effect and finally all
opposition was withdrawn and it was
passed on to the President. If Presi-
dent Harding proposes disarmament
conference, it is reasonably certain
to bring favorable results.
Another final step in ending the
last war occurred when the House on
Wednesday of last week passed the
conference report on the resolution
ending the war with Germany. The
resolution in like manner has gone to
the President and is certain to be ap-
proved.
Congress took breathing spell
over the Fourth and after disposing
of the tariff bill the House will take
a few weeks vacation, three days at
a time during which the Ways and
Meand Committee will Immediately
enter on revenue bill hearings and
preparation of the bill to raise funds
to run the government.

AS Assemblyman Dahl was by far
the strongest of the administration
leaders in the legislature, his influen-
ce in killing the Hirst auto-tax bill

places the responsibility for the fail
ure of the measure squarely upon the
administration. It's defeat does not
affect the present statutes of the
highway commission work. The
same provision for funds for road
construction which have been in
force for several years remains. Chief
Engineer Hirst of the highway COM

 Washington, Octoper 4A.-t -topeclal.) Reminiscent of war days are these harbingers of the armament confer-
 ence who will honor Washington with
 their presence tomorrow. General
 Diaz, commander in chief of the Ital-
 ian army; Admiral Lord GBeatty, of the British fleet and General Baron jacques of the Beigian army. They are all men who figured prominently
 in the war and are being received with all the interest and all the pomp of the war heroes who came here with the various war missions
 Not since those days has such en-
 thusiasm been shown about the arr
 rival of any distinguished visitors, and when Washington enthuses it IS great compliment, for we are in- clined to be very blase about such
 matters as We are more or less sur
 feited with notables, don't you know.
 But Washington is all ready to give
 them rousing welcome and various Functions formal and informal, are being planned in their honor. They
 will be here the greater part of this week and will be constantly on the go, sight seeing and attending par ties.
 They have come primarily to at tend the general convention of the American Legion to be held in Kansas City the last of this month, but are coming here, after cordial welcome in New York, to pay their respects
 to President and Mrs. Harding who
 undoubtedly will entertain in their 1 honor either now or upon their re- turn after the close of the conven- i tion, or both times. They will all call upon the President tomorrow and
 the British, Belgian and Italian em- bassies will all entertain for them at least once, if not more often. There is to be a dinner at the Brit .sh embassy Tuesday evening, not a
 large party, but a very select one, and there will be musical pro- gramme.
 The same evening the Italian em- bassy will be the scene of a recep- ton and the Belgian ambassador who will get here sometime tomor-
 row from Europe, will make plans | immediately to have at least one large function at the Belgian em- | bassy.
 The following week Marshal Foch
 will be her for two. days-October s1, November 1, before going to Kan-
 sas City He and this weeks guests will all return here on November 10 to attend the ceremonies to be held
 on the eleventh at Arlington In honor | or the unknown American soldier and to look in on the conferences
 which will open the same day. By ! that time all of the great men ex- | pect to be here and the eyes of the
 world will be on Washington for q while.
 | Coming events are casting their l shadows. Both the early opening of l the social season and of the. arma .
 ment conference next month. are 1 making themselves felt in various l ways. The arrival of some of the
 delegates to the conference makes
 me realize that November II Is
 scarcely more than fortnight off l Today finds all of the wives of cabinet officers back at their homes,
 Mrs. Weeks, wife of the Secretary of l War; Mrs. Fall. wife of the Secre-
 tary of the Interior, and Mrs, Hoover,
 wife oflth Secretary of Commerce, ] being among the last to return. Miss

LONG DIsTANT CREDIT

 Wholesale credit men, who deal with customers at a distance and Nn not look them in the eye, neverthe- less come to have wonde. tul keenAess at sensing the human factors in a sit uation. The credit manager of a New York concern wrote to a lawyer. and to bank, in a small Ohio city to ask for the financial standing of a young merchant there. In the replies a wide discrepancy was shown. The lawyer was positive that the man should not be trusted at all, but the bank was certain that he might safely De allowed any reasonable amount of credit. Instantly the credit manager declared: Neither is right. The truth is probably midway between.

Ailsa Mellon, who will be ehatelaine of her fathers home, will return in about a(week, and her arrival is be- ing awaited with special interest, for it Is believed that shortly after she gets here there will be an announce ment of \the date that she and her father, the Secretary of the Treas ury, will entertain at dinner for the President and Mrs. Harding.
 Several of last winters dancing clubs like the One Hundred club are now making their plan for this win ter and fashionable concerts are be- ing arranged; for example, the con certs diplematique, which will be held every other Tuesday afternoon at Rauscher's, and several other one that the season is about te- be- gin.
