The NAVY Department Cleans House

Accommodations of junk, which have Uttered
naval bases for many years, are being disposed
of by Secretary DENLY. From March to August
the sale of this material netted S3500,OOO to
the treasury, and the reduction in the number
of guards who watched the stuff has resulted in
the saving of several thousand dollars monthly.
Acting on the same principle which actuated
Chairman Lasker of the shipping board when he
sold the fleet of wooden ships, the navy depart
nent is cleaning house thoroughly.
Some of its discoveries are Illuminating, not
so much for the economies that have been at
tanned as for the disclosures themselves.
For instance, the navy department found
that it was owner of LOO acres of oak pur-
chased before the Civil war, to supply material
elapsed since the purchase, wooden ships have
passed into history, but the government contin-
ued to hold the acreage near Blythe's Island,
Ga, and to pay the caretakers all these years
Back in 1914 the department purchased a
location at Sachetts Harbor, n Y, for a navy
yard, but in the century that has passed the real
estate has never been used for its intended pur-
pose. In 1916 the navy acquired 141 acres of
plain, ordinary sand at Dry Tortugas. In 1921
it still was government property.
Secretary DENLY is listing accumulations OF
this kind for the purpose of selling them.
These are only examples of leaks through
which the taxpayers money has been escaping
and help to explain why taxes are high.

remarked Holmes, when our visitors
had left us, because it serves to show
very clearly how simple the explana-
nation may be of an affair which at
first sight seems to be almost mex
plicable. Nothing could be more nat
ural than the sequence of events as
narrated by this lady, and nothing
stranger than the result when viewed
for instance, by Mr.. Lestrade, of Scot
land Yard"
you were not yourself at fault
at all, them"
From the first, two facts were very
obvious to me, the one that the lady
had been quite willing to undergo the
wedding ceremony, the other that she
had repented of it within a few min
utes of returning home Obviously
something had occurred during the
morning, then, to cause her to change
her mind. What could that something
be? She could not have spoken to
| anyone when she was out, for she
had been in the company of the bride
! groom. Had she seen some one, then
| If she had, it must be some one from
America, because she had spent sc
short a time in this country that she
could hardly have allowed any one
| to acquire so deep an influence over
her that the mere sight of him would
| induce her to change her plans sc
completely. You see we have ALREADY
! arrived, by a process of exclusion, al
the idea that she might have seer
an American. Then who could this
American be, and why should he pos
sess so much influence over her? Il

The National Radio Show

One of the most practical features of the
wireless telephone invention is the aid it will
give to farmers in obtaining market reports dur
ing the day. The post office department has
developed method of distribution whereby the
farmer who has invested 500 in wireless re-
ceiving outfit, may at certain periods of the day
obtain market quotations.
The value of these reports is inestimable
The entire range of live stock and grain markets
during the selling and trading period of the day
is before the farmer, enabling him to act with
intelligence on the disposal of marketable pro-
duce and live stock.
1t brings the market as near to him as to any
commission man or broker in the city. No dealer
has an advantage over him with reference to
knowledge of current market conditions.
Only short time will elapse before the wire
less telephone will be considered as much part
of his agricultural equipment as is the telephone
and the automobile.
An inestimable service is being given to the
farmer by the distribution of market news by
the wireless telephone. 1t is another step for
ward in bringing him and his business affairs in
closer proximity to the market itself.
An early wireless report will enable him to
market products on the very day he receives the
quotation, thereby giving him an opportunity to
take advantage of sudden rise, or to stay out
of the market on a day when prices are off.
The first national radio show conducted at
Chicago this week showed many of the astound-
ing developments in wireless telephony that
have been made in the last year. The signal
corps, for instance, showed an automobile whose
steering apparatus controlled absolutely by
distant operator. President Harding delivered
a speech in Washington that was heard by wire
less telephone not only in Chicago but in many
distant parts of the country.
In passing it may be added that the programs
which The Palladium has put on by its wireless
equipment have been heard in many states. Re-
ports from wireless operators, sent to The Pal
ladium, have attested to this.
