RADIO WASHER PEEVES
 PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN

PHILADELPHIA, June 15.-Enter the radio masher!
 His initial appearance in the ether was related by Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania, at recent banquet here.
 q received a letter the other day. said the governor, form a very out ragged and indignant woman who had just purchased a radio set. I was enjoying a lovely concert the letter read, when suddenly coarse voice broke in in the middle of it and shouted: 'Is there any good-looking dame listening to this? Because if there is I want her to meet me at the corner of the Friends Graveyard in Quakertown tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. I've got a bottle of hooch in my car, and if I like her I'll take her to Atlantic City!"
 'eIn order to pass the buck to the federal governmen," the governor re- marked, chuckling, 'I wrote that the development of radio has come so sud denly that we have not had time yet to become conversant with the pe- culiar conditions it creates, but that I trusted due action would be taken to prevent this form of outlaw broad caster from inflicting his personality on the world at large"

DRESIDENT LEWIS OF the mine
workers made definite move for
settiement of the coal strike by calling
JOINT wage conference of operators
ana miners Of the central competitive
otuininous field, to be held in Cleve-
iand August Z. Unfortunately, the on
orators, or most of them, refused to
attend.
Meanwhile Henry b. Spencer. who
was appointed federal fuel distributor.
ana his committee and subcommittee
began functioning actively. According
TO Mr.. Spencer's plan, the federal or.
ganiZation will cover the distribution
or available supplies among the rail-
ways, federal Institutions and states
ana the governors of the states will
handle local supplies. State fuel COM
mittees were called on to report at
once the consumption Of coal in their
territories by utilities, industries and
households and to submit list of
those who should receive priorities
these state committees are also made
entirely responsible for the prevention
or profiteering and extortion I'm the
sale and distribution of coal within
their respective states.
Governor McCray Of Indiana took
the most vigorous action yet reported
in the matter of getting out coal. The
miners of the state refused to issue
permits to sufficient men to operate
the mines for emergency purposes, so
the governor opened two strip mines In
Clay county under the protection OF
81" state troops as II preliminary
measure and declared state of mar.
tial law to exist in thnt pa.t of the
county. These mines are in the hands
of receiver appointed by the federal
court, and the governor called atten-
tion to the fact that this places the
United States government behind
them. Mr.. McCray also called a con
ference OF the governors of Penrsylva-
mia, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois, Kentucky
and Wisconsin. Governor Preus Of
Minnesota says the coal situation in
the Northwest Is more threatening
than ever, and he has asked the gov
ernOrs of Iowa, Wisconsin and North
and South Dakota TO meet with him

WHAT YOU OVERLOOK

Discussing fake trance mediums B. j. Walton, magician,
known on the stage as Professor Heller, says in a letter to De-
tective Story Magazine:
Gas for the evidence of scientific men, would say that as
a magician and medium 1 dread the eyes of the average small
boy more than those of the average scientist, so far as the
detection of deception is concerned. And l know, for L have

Children are keen observers because, to them everything
is fresh and new, hence interesting.
AS we become older, we observe that life Is a series OF
repetitions, generally dull, frequently stupid and boresome.
We lose interest, and with 1t, the intellectually vaiuaDle power
of close observation. :.
You have noticed how easy it is to put something over
under the very eyes of the aged.
After the average person reaches 40, his brain cells be-
come 'set, % like concrete.
Vanity convinces the ego or inner self that 1t has De-
come fairly familiar with life, that the routine OF existence is
comprehended to the last detail.
The individual loses interest, stops observing, becomes
.sset in his WAYS" 1t is difficult to drive a new idea through
his head. Brain cells are closed and locked, instead OIL open
and receptive. uah
That is the reason middle-aged people are not as quleh

Ancient alchemists searched for universal solvent-a nulo
that would dissolve anything. The search lasted centuries
consumed an infinite amount of energy and time. IL stoppeu
