Captain Dollar created a sensation
several years ago when, after bitterly
opposing the seaman's act, he changed
his ships to British registry as soon
as the act was passed by congress-.
He has been identified with Pacific

During the war he took a prominent
part in gatherings of best minds
who formulated the shipping policies
and movements of the United States

Thus when they reach the left hand,
the dime Is beneath the ~ha'f-dollar, and
lies there, concealed from view. The
effect upon the spectators is that the
dime has disappeared during its fall.

Mrs Ida Bentley, noted lecturer

"She typihes Inconsistency, she

Then came Professor Herbert

this definition:

"a 'napper' says she. is merely

"The theory that she IS brainless

II wonder n you realize. Jack, the
wonderful future in radio. In the
opinion Of many experts the possI-
bilities are practically unlimited.
The biggest future. II would seem TO
me- would be in the communication
with ships at sea; the communica-
ton with out of the way parts of
the country; with airplanes in flight
and, last and biggest, the communi-
cation across the ocean. This Won
derful invention has gone steadily
forward and very few people realize
its possibilities. That is why Il is
one of the most important domestic
matters upon which a policy must
be decided at this time. Just stop
and think for a minute what radio
could do If It were organized to a
high point Of efficiency with a net
work of stations throughout the
country. When the terrible food
broke last year in Colorado and all
means OF communication were sew
cred think what radio could have
done IN speeding up help. When
great foods. fires. hurricanes.
strikes. riots and other catastrophes
occur the ordinary means OF long
communication. telephone and tele-
] graph are put out Of use because Of
broken and tangled or cut wires.
Radio has no wires and would prove
valuable beyond measure.
president Hardlng's interest in
this communication problem is an
other demonstration OF the up-to-
the minute activities of the present
administration. As soon as one
thing has been accomplished that is
truly big. he does not stop. He goes
head with something else. As
