ties Given Special Mention
IN National Campaign.

Bethesda, Nd, was one Of the thir.
ty-nine communities In the United
States to be accorded honorable
mention in the 1928 Better Homes
campaign. It was learned today.
Mrs. Benjamin T. Elmore. Alta
Vista, Nd, chairman of the better

It is estimated that there were
nearly 5000 communities In the

Investment Bankers
Unanimously Favor
IT. S. Budget System

The Investment Bankers 4AsSu-
citation Of America yesterday sus-
pended the rules providing that
resolutions must come before the
board Of governors. and by a
unanimous vote approved the
budget system In Government af-
fairs.
The resolution was presented
by John G. Brogden, Of Strother,
Brogden and Company, Baltimore.
and reaffirmed action taken by
the association several years ago.
1t follows:
Whereas, the budget system in
the affairs Of individuals and
concerns tends to promote good
business practices, and
Whereas, the Governments ex-
perience with the budget system,
though short, has been on the
whole satisfactory, and an at
tempt Is now being made to over
throw it, therefore be it
Resolved, that the Investment
Bankers Association Of America
heartily indorses the principle Of
the budget system in Govern
ment affairs, and recommends
that 1t be retained"
Among other expressions re-
ceived by the Hearst papers, call
ing to the defense of the budget,
were the following:
Isaac Bacharach, member of
Congress from Atlantic City-"I
am most heartily in favor of the
national budget system. The only
change in it that l would favor
would be to make it more efficient
and to strengthen 1t in it's applica-
tons to Government business"
Victor Berger, Socialist member
Of Congress from Milwaukee-"1
have not prosecuted, a careful
study of the new budgetary sys-
tenn, but off-hand, l should say
that 1t should be maintained. A
budget Is necessary in every house
hold and 1t seems that it ought to
be of value in the administration
in the Government of the United
States of America"

Electrical waves carried .

G. Harbord, head Of the Radio
Corporation Of America, 5000
miles through the ether to War
saw, Poland, and back, it was
learned today.
The process used, which may
enable a newspaper to print
foreign pictures the same day
they are taken, was invented
by E. F. w. Alexanderson, and
was successful in this and other
instances, according to reports.
The flashing Of the photo
graph through the air is ac-
cornpliished by resolving the
picture into radio waves which,
when received are reproduced
by photography or by an auto
matte ink machine.
The photograph is translated
into electrical waves, which later
are sent as wireless impulses
from the sending station.
Light and shade variations Of
the original are transformed
into punctures Of ticker tape,
drawn at high speed through
the transmitter. The wireless
impulses are thereby made to
assume a pattern corresponding
to the photograph. On being
returned, the electrical impulses
are converted into electrical
current of the same pattern.

BRITAIN DRAF IS
LIQUOR PACT
WITH j. s.
No Mention Made OF 12-Mile
Limit-Right of Search Is
Granted America.
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON.
international NarRa Seryina.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The foreign Of
flee is engaged today In drawing up
an Anglo-American treaty which will
give the United States the right 10
search suspected liquor-smuggling
ships flying the British flag beyond
the three-mile territorial limit OF
American waters The treaty viii
be along elastic lines.
Both the foreign office and the
American embassy stated that no
mention will be made in the treaty
OF q twelve-mile limit.
Secretary Of State Hughes at
Washington originally proposed
that the American territorial zone
be extended from three to twelve
miles, but England refused to con-
sent to any specific zone. A coun-
ter-proposal was made that the
United States be granted permits
sion to search suspected ships 'be-
yond the three-mile limit"
Agreed to by Washington.
Washington agreed to this sug-
gestion. In return the United
States granted permission to legiti-
mate British ships to carry liquor
under seal into American ports.
It is understood the treaty will
impose no restrictions upon Ameri-
can freedom of search, although
there is q tacit understanding that
the American authorities will use
discretion so az not to embarrass
British shipping.
Great Britain pointed out that
recognition Of a specific twelve-rnile
limit would lead to controversies
with Russia and other nations
which would endanger British
rights. Russia has been contending
for extension Of her own three-mile
limit so as-to expand the Russian
fishing industry.
The United States specifically
affirms the principle Of the Smile
limit (under international law and
usage) in Difference to Great
Britain's views.
American embassy attaches said
the treaty meets the viewpoint and
desires of Washington despite the
fact that it does not designate
IL miles as the limit Of American
territorial waters.

TO do with II.
the years which came Immediately
before them.
Naturally, in these circumstances
me demands for freight rate reduc.
tons in certain territories will be
loud and long. The oddly of the
situation Is that che demands are
loudest from the region where the
recent freight rate revisions upward
have been smallest and where the
railroads are peculiarly relatively
poor.
West of the Mississippi, the class"
freight rate revisions upward since
the time of the outbreak of the great
war have netted a raise of some so
per cent. East of the Mississippi
they have Melted a raise of some 80
per cent.
Political Problems Faced.
1t is east of the Mississippi and
west of the Hudson-in Central
and Southern territory-that the
present Astounding prosperity of the
railroads is concentrated.
In that territory the general COM
munity is also on the whole abound
ingly prosperous.
The political problem Of the .Ad-
ministration is to help the depressed
farmers Of the Northwest. If it can,
by reducing rates in other territory
which is not depressed and which
contains the rich railroads.
The northwest has relatively low
freight rates. relatively impover
ished railroads, and much oepres
| sion. Central and southern terri
tory has relatively high freight
rates, much prosperity, and rail
roads so well-to-do that in the Poca
hontas district they are even earn
ing seven per cent on their whole
