Dual Authority Plan
To Stop Dry Brides
CBy International News serviceo

U3y International News SerNlce)
Washington, March PA sys-
tenn of dual authority in practi-
cally all States has been set up by
Federal officials as guarantee
against bribery, illicit permits and
other unlawful practices, it was am
nounced to-day at prohibition head
quarters.
Commissioner Haynes, devising a
new method of checking the acts of
directors, has established in all
States a set of new officials desig-
mated Federal Prohibition Agents.
The authority of these general
agents is about equal to that of the
State Directors. They are to super
wise the acts of State Directors with
respect to inspection work, and
there also will come under their
notice the conduct of officials and
agents in the personnel of the State
Directors organization.
BY setting up the system Of dual
authority WITHIN state directors
organizations, it is said, officials
aim to overthrow the fixed rules
which have been permitted to gov
ern in liquor matters. Officials here
are said to suspect that many Of
ficials and many more of the en-
ployos OF the enforcement organiza-
ton still are covered" in the civil
service in such a way that Federal
officials are now allowed to have
free play in their desire to effect re-
forms. BY establishing Federal Pro-
hibition Agents throughout the va
rious states these difficulties may
be overcome in some degree, Of
ficiaIs said.

the company proposed to reduce
the rates early in the fall. How
ever, the proposed reduction was
not satisfactory to the members OF
the council as was also the case III
regard to the time for the new
rates to so into effect. The city
council offered to withdraw por-
ton OF its claims as expressed in
the intended ordinance, or COM
promise the case if the power COM
pany would take a similar step.
The matter has been taken up with
President Couch OF the Arkansas

As given to a representative OF
the Press this morning by mem
Der of the board of aldermen, the
figures as presented by Mr.. Whit
low on behalf Of the corporation
showed that the local plant is val
ued at approximately $4,000 and
that the earnings last year were
below three and one-half per cent.
The rates now in effect call for sew
enteen cents for the first hundred
kilowats, fifteen cents for the sec
ond hundred, twelve cents for the
third hundred and ranging down
ward III like proportion. The pre-
war rates were fifteen cents for the
first ten kilowatts, fourteen and
one-half cents for the second ten
and similar reduction of one halt
Il cent for every ten kilowatts until
a rate Of approximately twelve and
one-half cents per one hundred kilo-
watts was reached. Also five per
cent discount was allowed upon the
condition that the bills be paid
on or before the 10th Of each month.

REV. HUBBELL IS

CHURCH DANCES
Buffalo Presbyterian Pastor
Announces a Liberal At

Amusement.

Chicago, March 30.-A number
of the Religious Educational Associa-
ton which began it's annual meet
ing here yesterday, are in favor of
modern dancing, under proper super
vision. The syncopated strains of
the saxophone and the blare of a
jazz trombone also are o. X, ac-
cording to some Of the ministers.
"The church must attract youth
by providing what it wants." said
Rev. Harry II. Hubbell, pastor of
a Presbyterian church in Buffalo
IF we are to cure the moral laxity
of the present day it must be done
in a sympathetic, not prohibitive
manner. The evils of cabarets and
dance halls can be cured by provid-
ing music and dancing right in the
churches. Minus the objectional ele-
ment encountered on the average
public dance floor. Modern dancing
is not bad and properly supervised
can be danced very prettily." 9th

The representatives of the cor
poration, on behalf of the concern
Hast night, offered to put into effect
| in Paragould the same rates that
are now being instituted in other
cities. This rate is2a reduction OF
one cent for every one hundred
kilowatts. This was to be insti-
tuted the first of November. How
eyer, the members of the council
desired greater reductions and the
same to be placed in operation
earlier than the time specified by
the corporation.
With the figures of valuation and
earnings as presented by the COM
lpany in mind and not wishing to
carry the matter through the courts,
! the council offered to forego the
| intended ordinance and accept a re-
ducti0n the first of September of
two cents on the first hundred kilo-
watts, no reduction to be made on
| the succeeding number of kiloWatts
and no discount ON bills paid within
a limited time, but the rate to be
fifteen and one-half cents on all
bills not paid by the 10th of the
month.
According to the estimate made
| by member of the board of alder
linen this morning, the proposed re-
duction would benefit approximate
| ly ninety per cent of the consumers
OF electricity now supplied by the
local corporation.

ton of taking the matter UP with

ended the matter for the evening
An answer from President Couch
is expected within a day or so.
The council at its meeting last

/ ton in the water rates beginning

Sees RADIO AS
REAL SAVIOR
FOR CHURCH
First "Wireiess Sermon"
Brings Big Mail Collec-
ton - Vast Audience
Hears Great Sermons.

New York, March 3O.-It is quite
possible that entire church congre-
cations will be pressed into service
to take up the collection.
Ice cream sociables, given by la
dies aid societies, will, no doubt,
continue to be popular, but not
from a Financial standpoint.
Ceremonies of burning church
mortgages are being scheduled with
seeming reckless abandon.
1t will be almost impossible to
keep from going to church, it is
| forecast.
! These statements are attributable
to that one word-radio-wh which,
according to predictions, will revolt
tionize church going. Attendance
by proxy in this section, where
there are more than 100000 wire
less telephone sets, has reached
heights hitherto unattained.
It took DR.. Theron w .Kilmer,
physician, business man, electrician,
plumber and radio engineer, to spur
the prediction that the many
churches now in financial difficult
ties will be able to put themselves
on firm basis by use of radio
It will increase church congre-
cations ten-fold, he says. That
means larger incomes, but best of
ali the ability to do more good with
a single sermon.
Dr. Kilmer suggested to the Rev.
Dr. Ernest NJ Stires of St. Thomas
church, which boasts of the wealth
lest congregation in New York, that
he address his congregation from
the broadcasting station w. j. T.,
in Newark. DR.. Stires did, and as
a result he has been receiving "col-
lections' by mail from those who
listened in" While no figures are
available as to just how much man
ely was taken in from the radio
sermon, it is known that the
amount is greater than usually tax
len in at the church itself
"Why shouldn't one take up a
collection when one listens to a ser
mon by radio?" asked DR.. Kilmer
Yesterday as he fingered a letter
| lie had just received from st. Thorn
as church acknowledging the col
lection. at seems the natural thing
to do.
''If everyone all over the country
who listens each Sunday to a SER
mon by radio sends in the customary
contribution it would be easy to get
$4,000"

FOR OBTAINING GROUNDS
Water and Radiator Pipes.

In cities and towns a good ground
connection may be made with the
water and steam pipes. The best
means for making this connection is
by the use of a standard ground
clamp Gig. u, which may be pur-
chased from an electrical or radio
supply store for not over fifteen
cents.
When making use of the water
pipe in the house it is advisable and
common practice to short circuit the
water meter, as shown in Fig. 2, by
means Of a heavy copper wire.
Should there happen to be other
pipes in the vicinity of the water
pipe to which you are making
ground connections it would be adj
visable DO connect them all, as this
would Increase the efficiency of your
ground.
