VOTED ION AT june PRIMARIES
PRES. HARDING SPEAKS
AT GRANTS BIRTHPLACE
Declares That Nations of World
Need More of the Spirit
Shown BY Grant
(By United Press)


Point Pleasant, Ohio, April q, (By
Herbert Walker)-"The nations of
the world in an effort to recover from
disastrous effects Of the Worlds War
need more of the spirit of magnan-
unity with which General U. S. Grant
welcomed victory at the close of the
|civil war" said President Harding
here today in his ceremonies CONNER
ating the one hundredth anniversary
of the "hero of the Sixties"
The president spoke from plat
form in front of little village store
to the large throng that had come to
the hamlet, Grants birth place, to
pay homage to the great generals
memory but it seemed that running
through his address was the outstand-
ing thought that he was speaking of
the nations Of Europe, devastated by
war. That thought was that the re-
strainments of war must not be per-
petual if peace is to prevail.
81 wonder sometimes, said the
president, " if the maganimity Of the
guaranteed persistent, unalternble
Grant in warfare, the unconditional
surrenderable Grant, would be help
full in the world today
Praising Grants cherishment of
peace, intensified by his intimate
knowledge of war, Harding said he
felt certain that the general would
approve Americas action in joining
with the other nations which makes
war less likely.

Burning Coal at Mine Mouth
MAJ Bryce Anti Coal Strike
= - Means, Says Hoover

washington, April 27 Capital
News Service :--SeHstary Hoover
says that a cdmp1f development Of
the proposed supdSpower project by
which a series of Electric power sta
|tions,established adjacent to coal
mines to supply power The Atlantic
coast region from Maine t6>Maryland,
would save the nation thirty >uillion
tons of coal annually In discussion
of the project in cabinet meetines
Secretary Hoover said it was pointed
out that such a project would have a
great effect upon, future coal strikes
and the reduction of unemployment
by providing regular work for miners.
IT. is noted that coal saving would
come inetwo ways: First, the coal ex-
pended in lee omo olives to transport the
coal to be burned would all be saved ;
and second, the loss occasioned by
burning email quantities Of coal in
numerous plants would be saved by
having hluch coal burned in large
quantities in few plants.
The government is now working on
development plans for the project
through geological survey, which al
ready has issued a preliminary report
on the subject. It is not the intention
Of the government to finance the
project. The government is interested
in the annual of coal and man power
and increased employment, which it is
believed, will be made possible
through the carrying out of the super
power plan.
Plans Of the geological survey will
be made available for utilities COM
panies which desire. to use the super
power plan, leaving the financing Of
the project in the hands of private
enterprise. ~

Minnesota women. One of them fol-

home near Onamia.
"I'm going to stop bit, dear farm
women, in the midst of my work, for
wee daughter is having her nap and
it's good opportunity to tell you why
I wish the best Of all things for our
pride and hope and JOY.
ut is because l have known hap

want my daughter to know it, too. Is
there any greater joy, I wonder, than
that, of, hard task we'll done? When
I have hurried with my work that l
might do something extra outside,
worked until I felt cross and tired,

my son rushing off with the fellows,
my daughter going out for good

Use Radiophone
In Train Service

Numerous disastrous accidents on
French railways during the. past
two years, which have spread alarm
among the travelling public, have
caused French railway officials to
experiment with radio telephone in
communicating between moving
trains and stations
In recent tests carried out by the
Campaigne du Nord under direction
of the French Ministry of Public
Works, experimentors succeeded in
transmitting orders from different
points in the station at Bourget-
Triage to the switching towers. up
to a distance OF over 400 yards.
According to reports of the U. s.
Consul at Bordeaux. portable ap-
paratus used is described rs con-
sisting of an antennR in a frame,
a commutator, a stick tipped with
iroh to place in the ground and a
the total weight of
which. was fifteen pounds. Other
experiments were made between
places in the station and a train
moving at, speed of nineteen
miles per hour. The results were
as far as hearing the
was concerned They
could be heard satisfactorily dur
ing the entire time the train re-
NAMED in motion for a distance of
over ten miles, Irrespective of the

Mayor Hylan has appointed a COM
mittee to study the need and prac-
ticability of the proposal.
Following the success Of magnayox
installations in recent months, the
possibilities OF open-air concerts via
radio. can scarcely be estimated. In
New York several small parks are To-
Gated in the midst of the downtown

Bowling Green, a favorite lounging
place for the poor classes who find
some relief from the sea breezes of
the Battery waterfront On week
days radiophone music at such loca-
lions would be inaudible, due to the
confusion of noises. but on Sundays
there is a marked quiet which would
increase the audibility very greatly.
II several amplifiers are located in
parks at such positions jas are now
occupied by bands. radioEhone receiv-
ing sets no doubt will be installed in
amusement parks, at beach resorts
and at large summer hotels where the
acoustics will permit such installa-
