liefs. he said, formed the nations

RADIO NOT TO TAKE
PLACE OF TELEPHONE

Radio will not become substitute
for telephone communication by
wire, according to expert opinion.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover ap-
pointed board of specialists TO
make an exhaustive study of radio.
Following the boards report to the
Secretary, Mr.. Hoover said:
II think it will be agreed at the
outset that the use of the radio tele-
phone for communication between
single individuals as in the case of
the ordinary telephone is a perfectly
hopeless notion. Obviously if 49,
100000 telephone subscribers are for
their mates they will never make a
junction; the ether will be filled with
frantic chaos, with communication
of any kind impossible"
As source of entertainment and
comfort to millions all over the
worlds surface, the radio is proving
remarkable boon to mankind. The
consensus OF the scientists, however,
is that in the science of communica-
ton, there is no possibility Of radio
ever supplanting wires for the trans
mission Of millions of messages sim
ultaneously in motion acros, this coun-
try every day in serving the nations
telephone subscribers, which num-
Der more than 100000.
The ultimate system which is t.
provide the communications of the
world will consist of both wire and
radio, each supplementing the other
in proportion to its capabilities. Au-
thoritative estimates place the num-
Der of telephone calls in the United
States during 1923 at close to 49,
600, 100000

ROSENBLOOM GIVEN PAT
ON BACK By SENATORS
Davis And Sutherland Praised
Ability Of Republican
Senatorial Candidate.

There are but few candidates for
Office that have been openly and pub
Hcly endorsed by two United States
senators. One of these is Congress
man Benjamin L. Rosenbloom, Repub-
lican, of Wheeling, who recently an
nounced his candidacy for United
States Senator from West Virginia.
OF him Senator Davis Elkins has
said:
You have the ability and the in
dustry to be of great service to your
county and to your state and district
in the next Congress-, and sincerely
hope and trust that majority of the
voters will see the wisdom of afford
ing you the opportunity to use your
talents for the public welfare"
This comment was made when Con-
gressman Rosenbloom was a candi-
date for Congress and his subsequent
election and actions have borne out the
prediction Of Senator Elkins. At the
came time Senator Howard Suther-
land wrote of Congressman Rosen-
bloom:

and physical equipment and the ex-
perience and judgment to render him

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
GOES EARLY To WORK

The speeding up by Congress is a
victory for the people and for Pres
ident Coolidge. 1t is recalled that in
his Lincoln Day speech in New York
Coolidge stated that it was necessa-
ry for the people to make thir wish
es known to Congress. The Presi-
dent ha sadopted the rather unusual
way of securing cooperation from
Congress. He had numerous sena-
tors and representatives at the
breakfast table, an early breakfast,
for the President rises early, a habit
acquired in the early days Of hisalife
on his fathers farm-a habit which
permits him to be at his desk long
before many business men have had
their morning meal, and there he
has impressed upon the law makers
the necessity of tax reduction econ
my in the expenditure of the peo-
pies money and the passing Of such
legislation as will relieve the dis
tress lin agricultural districts.
1t is conceded by every one that
Coolidge will be nominated at Cleve-
land. The recent action of the vot-
ers of North Dakota, Michigan, Ne
braska and Illinois has demonstrat-
ed beyond any question the fact that
that the people believe in Calvin
Coolidge. They regard with deep ap-
probation his quiet, firm nanenr Of
dealing with public questions. They
appreciate the staying at his desk,
or as one senator put it, "being al
ways on the job" The people of the
country have strongly emphasized
the fact that they want Coolidge to
be retained as President of the Uni
ted States. They want a calm think
ing, hard working American citizen
as President :,
