The radio craze grows Today there are 100000
radio receiving stations in America Daily the num-
Der increases by thousands and tens of thousands
And radio fans are like sport fans they want to
read radio news just as sport followers want to read
SPORTS Radio fans want to tinker with the appa-
ratus they buy; they want to build original appa-
ratus. That's radios great hold 1t appeals to the
creative spirit.
Radio fans are exacting in their reading Articles
must be scientifically accurate; more they must
keep apace of the daily progress of radio science;
still more they must interpret the most complex sci
entific achievements in language that the radio fan
can understand and apply to his own equipment.
Sounds difficult, but The Star has enrolled as a
member of it's staff the man who can turn the trick
Paul F. Cooley, Americas foremost radio author
ty and the crowned king of Americas radio anna
teurs!
Cooley is best known generally as the man who
made it possible for amateur radio to span the At
antic receiving signals from American amateur
stations at Ardrossen, Scotland in December, 1921
Cooley is member of the Institute of Radio En-
gineers, member of the board of directors of the
Radio Club of America, member of the technical
advisory committee of the American Radio Relay
League, and designer of the first regeneratve re-
cever which has permitted the development of am
ateur radio.
Godey's hold on the hearts of Americas radio
fans is largely explained by the fact that he refused
to patent his regenerative receiver, because he
wanted them to have it's full benefits at the lowest
possible cost! He wanted nothing for himself but
clear field to make better and better radio outfits
This then, is the man whom The Star has engaged
to write radio articles for you!
Broadcast the news to your fellow radio fans.
Godleys listening in" every hour; he knows what
the radio fans want and he's here to tell them!

The British prime minister has become
convinced that it is not possible for
Germany to live up to the terms Of the
Versailles treaty. and British opinion
seemingly is back of him. Poincare
Insists that Germany shall fulfill the

The Joint Appeal

The joint appeal Of the Associated
Charities and Citizens Relief Associa.
ton for support from the community
that the obligation to relieve and pre-
vent suffering in the homes Of Wash.
ington's poor and distressed may be
discharged, must meet with a gen.
erous response at this time. Winter
grips the city. It is known that a
comparison between the last three
months and the similar period Of a
year ago shows a heavy increase in
the Humber Of applicants for assist
ance in Washington.
Last year only 5.2s9 individuals, out
of total population Of $4,000, con-
tributed toward the work Of these
agencies in their efforts to help the
helpless. But one Washingtonian out
Of each group Of eighty-two lent as.
sistance in the performing Of task
vital to the entire community: Admit
ting that a fraction Of the non-con-
tributors were not in a position to
undertake financial support to that
vital task, the fact remains that q
vast majority Of Washingtonians were
content to permit their share Of the
burden or privilege involved to fall
upon the shoulders Of generous
minority.
That fact, viewed from whatever
angle one will, is not q happy one. It
may be interpreted in q variety of
ways. The most generous explanation,
and probably the correct one, would
b that Of laxineU on the part Of the

general public. Laxiness aa regards
attaining to an understanding Of ths
splendid work done each year by the
welfare agencies In question. Lazine4S
as regards the minor effort Of adding
ones name to the list of those who
stand behind that work. Laziness. in
a word. in appreciating the signifi.
cance Of community responsibility or
of playing even a minor role in meet
ing that responsibility when that ap.
probation has been achieved.
Ten thousand contributors are
sought for the year 1922. Asking that
each individual give what he feels he
can, those in charge Of the finances
Of the agencies are as grateful for
one dollar from one as one hundred
from another. That upon this basis
there should not be ten thousand
Washingtonians willing and proud to
forward the work Of driving distress
from the National Capital In the year
before US is not to be credited.

Why Write2

At recent meeting Of a London lit
erary club an author gave an address
on the subject, why. Writer" Lest
any one should accuse him of adopting
any pose Of literary Pharisaisnn, he
frankly treated his theme; autobio-
graphically. and for this purpose set
out automatically his motives (a)
when he nrst began to write and (b)
at the present day. In the first case
the total was made up Of SO per cent
ambition, Is per cent vanity, 20 per
cent the urge to earn a Lying and s
per cent something to say. In the
second case ambition had disappeared
and the proportions had changed to SO
per cent earning living % per, cent
vanity, 20 per cent something to say.
Not every author would be willing
to dissect his own motives SO frankly
and with so much sense Of humor,
and 1t is well that some one who is
himself writer should raise the cur
tain q little on the subject Of art and

The Republican Congress Fight.

Ohio scores again, and again de-
serves her good fortune. Representa-.
tive Fess has been chosen for the third
time chairman Of the republican con-
gressional committee.
Mr.. Fess' first effort was rewarded
with a majority of forty-six in the
House. That campaign was made
with President Wilson leading the op.
position. The war was in progress,
and notwithstanding the fact that the
republicans had been giving the Presi-
dent the most loyal support in its
within few weeks Of election day for
the election Of another democratic
Congress The voters looked the other
way.
Mr.. Fess' second effort was made
two years ago, when the country, as
election day disclosed, was almost Of
one mind. His reward was a House
with a republican majority of 169-
much too large for either comfort or
speed in the dispatch Of business, as
events have shown, and are still show
ing.
Mr.. F'ess' third commission will test
his full powers-give him opportunity
to employ all the resources he has
twice demonstrated the possession Of
as scampaign manager. 1t is no se-
cret that the democrats are heartened
by thg criticism Of the present Con-
gress, now pretty widespread, and are
taking great pains with their cam
paign plans.
1t IS stated that. early as 1t Is. the
republicans have done a good deal Of
preliminary work. and are preparing
to look alive everywhere, even in the
south. To the border states they will
give Rsrticular attention.

Naval Radio and News.

Under present law the naval radio
service is open to news dispatches un-
til the end Of the present fiscal year.
Unless .there is legislation to continue
this privilege It will be discontinued on
the LIST Of July. A resolution Is now
before the Senate, having been favor
ably reported from the naval commit
tee, to extend the press use Of the
naval radio for FIVE years. Early
passage Of this resolution is much to
be desired.
The reason for the use Of the naval
radio for press dispatches across the
Pacific is that in that part Of the
world cable facilities are meager. They
are quite Inadequate to the pressure
Of the news passing between the orient
and the occident. Just at this juno
ture it is most important to have the
fullest possible communication with
the far east. News transit between
this country and Japan should, OF
course, go by way Of the Pacific rather
than by the very much longer and
more expensive route Of the Atlantic.
Europe and Asia.
Understanding Of the questions at
issue between the occident and the
orient is greatly to be desired in the
interest Of peace. The freest flow OF
news matters across the Pacific in
both directions is essential to the set
tlement Of these issues. Misunder-
standing comes from lack Of informa-
ton and from misunderstanding war
may develop. Consequently the flow
Of news is requisite to the, success
Of any such efforts as that Of the con-
ference now in session in this city.
Use Of the naval radio to carry news
dispatches overseas is therefore a
measure of peace and progressive de-
velopment. This government can put
its equipment to no better use than for
carrying the news.

The Russian Exiles,

"A meeting is held today in this city
in the interest Of rendering aid to the
Russian refugees scattered In various
parts Of the world, exiled by the revo-
luton that has held that country in its
cruel grasp for several years. These
people are the most intelligent. and
progressive of the Russians. They rep
resent the chief hope for the rehabili-
tation Of that country. There are up
ward Of a million of them, most of
them subsisting in various countries
along the Russian border. Practically
all Of them are in extreme destitution
and misery. They have sacrificed
everything. Meager supplies reach
them from time to time from various
centers Of relief, such as that here, but
the total Is pitifully deficient.
The United States is now spending O
large sum in supplying food to the
starving Russian children, sufferers
from the famine. This work has been
gladly under taken and Is being ef-
ficiently carried out by trained agents.
Nobody begrudges the millions that it
Is costing. But at the same time there
Is feeling that as much should be
done for those Russians who are to-
day in exile, who have no government
to protect or assist them, whose lives
are forfeit if they return home, whose
estates have been confiscated and
whose future is black.
These people have been sacrificed
because of no crime, no offense against
the law. They are the victims Of a
class hatred that knew no discrimina-
tion.; Not all of them are royalists.
Many Of them are democrats. They
are all patriotic Russians who hope to
see their land redeemed from the
tyranny Of the proletariat controlled
by eonscienceless radicals.
Washington takes a particular in
terest in this work because Of the pres.
ence here of one who was in her girl
hood familiar figure in this city.
Princess Cantacuzene, granddaughter
of President Grant, has brought home
to the people Of Washington the pitt
full plight Of the Russian exiles, with
her own. account of the suffering she
has personally witnessed and which
she is now trying to alleviate. A gen.
erous response to any call for help is
tc be expected.
