The wonders OF radio have oc-
Cured so often that they are be
ginning to become commonplace.
Take the radio invention TO make
the deaf hear. One came out about
a year ago and brought to its in
ventor the blessings Of many men
land women who were hard of hear
ing.
Since then other inventions for the
deaf have come out, practically all
based on the idea of affording the
deaf hearing by the sense of feeling
the vibrations produced through the
radio. The latest type is a power
ful ampliher which is being used in
the Cincinnati pNblic schools for
the benefit OF the children who are
hard Of hearing The a., teacher
speaks into the amplifer and the
child sitting beside her. listens In
through the ear phones.
Few marvel any longer over the
almost instantaneous spanning Of
space by. radio. In fact, tell a per-
son that a message sent by radio
today could be heard three minutes
later 5000 miles away yesterday and
he would he interested merely in
knowing how that is possible.
This was accomplished only re-

Hawaii in six minutes. The peculiar

WALLACEs NOTE on WARNING.

United States Government Savings
System. Office of the Director,
Treasurey Department. Washing
ton, January Is. 1928:
To the Editor OF The Evening Jour
nal:
Sir; Just as the people are getting
cash for the Government war secur-
tiles now falling due, an extra effort
is being made by the swindlers and
fake stock operators to get their
money away from them.
About a year ago when the Ponzi
and Bishop exposures showed how
easy it was to dupe the people and
take millions from them the press Of
the country took up the subject and
i'm news articles and editorials did a
noble work. This united effort in
daily and weekly newspapers, in per-
iodicals and other publications did
much to check the work Of the get
rich-quick operators, and 10 snow
the people that there we're far bet
ter methods OF investing their money
Working in conjunction with the
press of the country at that time was
the L. S. GoHrnment Savings Sys-
TEN. The government did all in its
power to promote thrift and check
wildcat Investments. As a part Of
the great thrift and savings move
ment it offered the people a safe in
vestment in Treasury Savings Cerlifi-
Gates, government obligations sold
on a discount basis and yielding in
terest at per cent. compounded
semi-annually. In urging the people
to buy these securities the govern
ment took occasion to warn the peo-
pie to beware of the sharpers and
confidence men with bogus stock and
"get-rich-quick" propositions
The Joint campaign OF the govern
ment and the press had a good effect.
The reports from all over the coun-
try showed that the people needed
the warnings. But the memory OF
the people is short. They do not re-
member, for long all that has been
told OF the Ponzis and Bishops. or Of
the smaller gold brick perpetrators.
or late reports have begun 20 appear
showing that these human vultures
are again preying upon the public (
in the hope of getting part OF the
S625, 000, 900 which the government
is now paying out on the matured
1918 War Savings Stamps The
bogus oil wells and gold mines are
again in evidence. Beautifully en-
graved stock certificates arc Being
put out with glittering tales of quick
wealth. Many devices for trapping
the unwary and taking their money
from them are in evidence through
out the country.
On this account II Is time to issue
another warning in the interest OF
people with hard-earned savings to
invest The Government is doing al
il can; 1t has offered a safe and good
paying investment, but NJ ore is need
ed. Again there IS an opportunity
for the press OF the country to rem
der good service. We need n revival
of the campaign against the fraud
ulent schemers and vendors OF fake
stocks. 1t has almost become a pub
lie duty to protect the people against
these pliers Of a nefari )us trade.
1 would appreciate editorial coop
Grafton in this work with the hope
that many people may be saved from
the losses OF wildcat investments
and the purchase OF fake securities.
Very sincerely yours.

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-Hugo Shines
Germany's great industrial leader,
foresees the possibility of terrible
bloodshed in the Ruhr valley If the
French try to work the mines at
the point OF the bayonet.
Knowing the hard medicines of
the sturdy Westphalians. whose
hardness is bred in them like that
Of the sighting West Virginians. he
believes there is a possibility of a
ghastlier time than when the
Sicilians drove out the French in
the thirteenth century amid scenes
Of murder and arson-an historical
event that has come to be known
as "Sicilian Vespers."
The Westphalian is German
through and through. His father
and his grandfather before worked
in the mines. and he takes pride in
them. According to Shines view.
they will not brook being driven to
the ptheads by French bayonts or
supplanted by French hirelings."
SHINES conjectures up a picture OF
these hard grim faced workers in
the bowls of the earth trooping from
the mines at dawn and attacking the
French guerilla fashion. Such
clash would result in a series OF the
bloodist cOmbats ever fought in
mine war. not excluding West
Virginia and Cripple Creek.
SHINES also believes that the
Rhennish Westphalian coal OUTPUT
is destined TO decrease under French
dictation. SHINES feels that Ger
many has now reached an absolutely
united front with the exception of a
few scattered communists. He holds
this is a great achievement.
II the French grab the coal taxes
or try to exploit the mines without
paying anything above the mere
wages it will amount to I'M
paralleled robbery, SHINES holds.
Germany then must make clear 70
the whole world that robbery and a /
breach OF treaty is being committed.
