Amendments Discussed.

The third session Of the National
Race Congress convened today and
listened to an address by D. D.
Powell, Jacksonville, Fla, on What
Fraternal Organization Should Do
Toward the Enforcement of the
Amendments of the Constitution, Z"
The delegation was received at the
White House by President Coolidge
at 1890 o'clock.
In discussion which closed the
morning session, DR.. Jernagin, presi-
dent Of the congress, said:
Ideals may not be Immediately
attainable. The establishment of a
principle does not prevent approx.
nation by a practicable program.
II we cannot get all that we claim,
we should not fail to secure all that
we can get. 1t is only timid and
cowardly spirit that will accept less
that 1t is possible to secure.

impractical doctrinaire who will &C.

Fifteenth amendment is not being
enforced is not sufficient reason
why every negro in the South, who
can possibly do so, should not
qualify and vote under the existing
restrictions" e..
In. urging racial Enterprises he
concluded:
1--WE rejoice at the increasing evi.
dences of business energy and en-.
terprises conducted by the race &C.
cording to the standard method Of
efficiency. These are but indica.
tons of greater and larger things
the negro must do, until he controls
as large a proportion and bulk Of
business as the nee0s ana necessi.

not rest satisfied with wanting what
the white man has, but by having

FATE OF FARM
RELIEF BILL.
McNary-Haugen Plan for U.
s. Corporations Put Up
to President.
BY A. o. HAYWARD,
International News Service.

The fate of the McNary. Haugen
farm relief bill, which sets up a
100000 900 Government corporation
20 create stable basic price for
agricultural products through Fed
eral purchase, rested today with
President Coolidge.
The President has been requested
by House Republican leaders to
state whether he approves the legis-
lation, and on his decision the
House leaders will determine whether
the bill is to be given preference
place or take its chances on a
crowded calendar.
The bill is not popular with the
conservative leaders in Congress-.
It marks a new path In legislation
which many of them are unwilling
to pursue, unless assured they have
the support of the President. The
bill is under fire throughout the
country and its political conse-
Quences are feared by many legisla-
tors.
Chairman Haugen, Of the House
Agriculture Committee, announced
today he would be able to get the
bill before the House the latter
part Of next week. He will present
the revised committee bill tomorrow
together with a majority committee
report defending its provisions. A
minority report, condemning the
legislation as bolsheyik in character
viii be filed by Congressman Aswell
Dem.) Louisiana, one of the six
members Of the House Agriculture
Committee, opposing the legislation.
:. House Republican leaders say that
Haugen is optimistic in proclaiming
early action on the bill. He has no
special rule making the bill priv
LEGGED and other measures are
ahead of it on the calendar. 1t
will take more than a week to
dispose Of these calendar bills.
President Coolidge may not be able
to- complete his study Of the bill
and indicate his attitude toward
the legislation in the time limit
set by Haugen, and the House
leaders will wait for word from
the President.
Secretary Wallace and Charles ].
Brand, director Of the Bureau of
Markets, sponsors of the bill ac-
s0Ording to their statements before
the House Agriculture Committee,
are under fire before another
House committee, the Secretary be-
ing charged with failure to enforce
provisions Of the packers law and
Brand with being a friend OF the
packers. It is stated these ckarges
will influence adversely action on
the McNary -Haugen bill.

Weakness Revealed by Pana-

Careful Investigation.
By International News Service.

Secretary Of the Navy Wilbur an.
nounced today that he was under
taking a careful Investigation into
the alleged detection Of the United
States navy, as detailed In the re-
port OF Admiral r. E. Coontz on the
recent maneuvers at Panama.
II the conditions are IS grave as
Admiral Coontz points them out to
be, drastic steps must he taken To-
remedy the situation, he said, add
ing. that he had not yet made a
complete study of the report. but
that he was doing so with experts
at the Navy Department today.
The matter of converting the four
battleships Of the scout fleet and
two others from coal to oil burners
and the proposition Of reconstruct.
ing the turrets to give the guns
higher elevation and thus longer
range is now before Congress, and
as this is part of the program
recommended In Admiral Coontz's
report, immediate efforts along
those lines may be held up.
British naval men have declared
that these repairs would constitute
q violation Of the arms conference
rules, while American naval men
contend they do not.

MOON MAY AFFECT
RADIO RECEPTION
BIZ NEA Service

By NEA Service
HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 13.-The
moon, in it's various phases, is be-
lieved to influence radio reception.
Observations made by amateurs
and reported to headquarters OF the
American Radio Relay League here
point to this explanation for the
different degrees Of static encoun-
tered at certain times.
At present the only observations
made, in this regard, have been on
European long wave signals, since
there have been better receiving con-
ditions on this side Of the Atlantic
than in England. Further expert
ments, however, are being conducted
on shorter wavelengths directed
eastward.
According to observations so far
recorded, while long wave signals
were travelling west across the At
lantic, bad static conditions pre-
vailed while the moon was up, or
the moon was in its last quarter.
Signals were fair. although worse
, than at any other times.
The best signals came across

BENEFITED BY COLD
Winter Is Ideal Time for
Radio Reception,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13-Cold
weather more than doubled the
strength Of radio signals transmitted
during tests made up to recently at
the Bureau Of Standards here.
From these tests and other obser-
vations made here on daylight sig
nails from the long-wave trans-At-
lantic stations at New brunswick
and Tuckerton. n. J., the engineers
Of the Bureau Of Standards OF have
concluded that cold weather benefits
radio transmission.
Although signal strength was
found to be quite uniform during
most of the year. with the coming
Of the cold waves OF Janupary, 1924,
the signals were observed to rise to
more than twice their normal
strength.
At the same time there were de
viations OF many degrees in the ap-
parent directions Of the sending sta
lions, as indicated by the radio COM
pass, even in the forenoon when
long-wave compass bearings are gen
orally free from error.
The end of the series Of cold waves
in January did not at once restore
transmission conditions to the uni
formity of autumn and early winter
but felt n condition Of instability
which persisted through the com
paratively mild cold of February
and early March. During this time
the signals frequently fluctuated,
going to high values for few hours
and then returning to normal with
out any obvious connection with
weather conditions. After March 10
these Irregularities entirely ceased
and transmission again became nor
NAL.
There is at present no definite ex-
PLANTATION of this phenomenon. The
cause is evidently atmospheric, say
the observers.
