COST or OLD-TZzAE FREEDOM OF CITY

Comforting of the freedom of a city
on a visitor has come to mean almost
precisely the opposite of what It
meant in the young, days of America
and-earlier-in the medieval days in
Merrie England.
"The origin Of the custom of grant
ing the freedom of the city to aliens
is virtually lost in antiquity" said
Prof. Harold McBain, instructor in
municipal government at Columbia
University. commenting on the round
of brilliant receptions that have kept
the mayors Of New York and other
cities almost constantly in tall hats
and frcck coats in recent months.
"It appears, however to have grown
directly out of the medieval organi-
cation Of industry on a monopolistic
basis, and was originally an economic

And instead of riding at the head

der in 1915 as first lieutenant in

Gentlemen:
After nearly a years use of the 48 RADIO radia-
tors which / bought of you and installed in my IL flats
at the corner of Leavenworth and Hubbard streets,
San Francisco, it is a great pleasure for me to say that
l am perfectly satisfied in every way. They have done
all that you told me they would do.
1 had some doubt about the compound lasting a
year, but it has, and is still preventing fumes and
sweating of walls and furniture, and promises to con-
tinue to do so for some time yet. This, too, notwith-
standing that some of the tenants have given their
radiators several hours use almost daily since in
stalled.
Before finally deciding to put RADIO radiators in
these flats I purchased one from your Oakland office
and gave it a thorough trial in my home here in Pied
mont. I found it satisfactory and it is still doing good
work.
Your radiators, installed ready for use in these IL
flats, cost me only about one-fourth that of a steam
heating plant, and much less to maintain in operation
because of the saving in j%anitor labor and fuel.
Yours very respectfully,
G. t. KNoPF.

a SPIRITED DISCUSSION WAS
INDUCED IN AT RECENT
SESSION OF LEAGUE.
C0MMENDS COUNCILS WORK
Warning by lntimation Is Given That
More Work Must be Done or Con-
tributions May be Cut OF.

Geneva. = Charges that the purely
negative position of the United States
had been responsible for the delay in
the application of mandates by the
League of Nations were made by Lord
Robert Cecil, representative for South
Africa, at the session of the assembly
OF the league, which took up a. general
discussion Of the accomplishments OF
that body to date.
Charges that the league had been
extrayagant and had Disseminated
against countries which remained neu.
trail in the world war were made by
Hjalmar Branting of Sweden.
Mr.. Branting suggested that the
members of the league might cut Off
their contributions if the organizations
of the league did not succeed in pro-
ducng results more in accord with the
fundamental principles.
Lord Robert Cecil who represents
South Africa, praised the frankness of
Mr. .Branting but defended the secre-
tariat of the league from his charges
OF extravaganza and partially. The
councils work had been good, Lord
Robert said, but he thought it might
have put in little more work.

NADE-|N-CAROL|NA
EXPOSITION Opens
THE PRODUCTS OF 60 YEARS OF
GROWTH MEET THE AoMIRING
EYES OF VISITORS.
GRADYS PROPHECY FULFILLED
At the Same Time Abundant Evidence
is to be Seen That the carolnas
Have Just Begun to Grow.

Charlotte. N. C.-The Made In
Carolinas Exposition, presenting in
truly wonderful array the products OF
60 years of growth in industry, was
opened without ceremony or osten-
tation, the doors simply being thrown
open to admit the crowd which had
been gathering during the morning
hours.
Great interest centered in the pro-
gram of the opening day, that OF
the afternoon being featured by the
address of Governor Cameron Morri-
son.
A trip through the great building
just before the opening hour showed
that the long, hard efforts of the ex-
positions employees and the employees
of the exhibitors had brought their ac-
tivities practically to the end.
When the visitor realizes that the
Carolinas 60 years ago were in the
grip of poverty, and for years after
the war between the states struggled
against all manner of difficulties and
adversely, the real story of the expo
sition stands out with vividness and
impressiveness. For the first time
the New South is truly presented in
definite form. 1t proclaims that these
two states in their progress and pros
perity have more than fulfilled the
brilliant prophecies of Henry w.
Grady. At the same time, abundant
evidence is offered that the Caro-
linas have just begun to grow. -
