Young at Head
Preparations, Says
Will Vote for Davis

New York, Oct. o1.-Democratic
headquarters today made public a
radiogram from Owen ID. Young who
is now in Europe supervising the
organization of the machinery of the
reperations plan. regarding his sup
port of John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate.
The radiograrl. addressed to Nor
man H. Davis. former assistant sec
rotary Of the treasury and volun-
teer member of the candidates ad-
visory staff, follows:
II should be glad to do anything
that would help John Davis for
whom T have the greatest admir-
alton. I have no objection to your
publishing es news that 1 am a
Democrat and that in my opinion
with such a candidate as John W.
Davis every Democrat should be
proud 70 support his ticket"
In announcing the text OF Mr.
YOung's message. Mr.. Davis said:
Il regard it as specifically signi-
ficant that Mr. Young comes out
with this strong endorsement of our
candidate. AS YOU will recall. Gen
eral Dawes described Mr.. Young as
the constructive brains Of the eX-
pert committee. which drew, up the
reparations plan now being put into
operation. No one has had a better
opportunity then owen Young to
study the present conditions OF
Europe Or the foreign policy OF
America under the Republican adj
ADMINISTRATION. In spite of this init
mate knowledge of the problem, OF
perhaps because, of it, Mr.. Young
comes out emphatically for John w
Davis"

Our Newspapers Colorlcss-
Not Colored

There Is far more truth In the
charge that our news Is colorless.
not "colored." Our newspapers have
gone so far in their insistence upon
impartiality and absence Of editorial
comment in the news. and both
copy -rea ders and reporters have TAX
en- their instructions so literally. that
much OF the charm Of writing has
disappeared from our news columns.
We have not only lost the writing,
but we have lost the writer's. because
the new system does not tend toward
the development Of their powers.
Most of our news articles are writ
ten on one pattern: certain set Of
facts must be in the first paragraph
and another set farther down in the
story. without adjectives and with
out any comment that might be con-
sidered partial or biased. Our schools
Of journalism. where many of our
new generation of newspapermen are
recruited. are training their men in
TO the ways Of this system, so that
the newspaper business must look
for any change either to the unortho-
cox graduates or to those recruits
who have not been drilled In the in
hibitions of the school Of journalism.

Convict II in
Maryland Tar
And Feathers Case

Frederick, Md, oct. 27-Twelve
residents of Myersville, upon whom
sentence was passed by Chief Judge
Hammond Crner in Circuit Court
here today. following pleas of. guilty
or convictions on charges resulting
from the tarring and feathering of
Miss Dorothy Grandon. last July, are
held tonight in the Frederick coun-
~ Jail. pending their removal to the
house of correction.
Five men. found not guilty, were
freed. while sentence was suspended
on two others convicted of rioSiny.
Mrs. Mary Shank. who admitted
applying the tar and feathers to MSS
Grandon'S body. was sentenced ia
nine months imprisonment. Mrs
Shanks charged that the white cap
ring" was the result of too intimate
relations between her husband and
Miss Grandon. Others were given
sentences of one and two years each.
Before passing sentence. Judge Ur-
ner cast aside a petition signed by
hundreds of residents of Myersville
asking clemency for the guilty per-
sons. saying that mob rule must be
stamped out. and pointing out that
there was ample legal redress for the
wrongs the people claimed TO have
suffered through the alleged miscon-
duct of MissG random.

For congress, the Republican in

Wisconsin-Rebert NJ. La Foil
cites name appears on the ballot
in Wisconsin as an Independent this
fall for the first time in his long
political career. but, for offices other
than the presidency and ice-presi-
dency. candidates who supported
him appear on nearly all places of
the regular Republican ticket.
Republicans opposing La Toilette
have President Coolidge as the
candidate for head of the Republican
slate, but no regular ticket to carry
this split throughout state offices.
In the primaries. Republican candi-
oates carrying La Toilette endorse
ment swept the field. with a very
few minor exceptions.
What inroads the Anti-La Toilette
Republicans will make in the ranks
of the two major parties has
furnished one of the principal
political discussions. The Coolidge
supporters have conducted their
campaign largely through the activi-
ties of Charles G. Dawes. nominee
for the vice presidency. Mr.. Cool
idge was expected to poll larger
vote in the state than Mr.. Davis.
The ku Klux Khan threatened at
enc time TO become an issue but
after several denuciations by Gov. j.
J. Blaine, incumbent Republican
with La Toilette endorsement seek
ing his third term it simmered off.
The prohibitionists have a complete
slate for state officers and the
Socialists also have candidates from
governor down.
In the Congressional yaces. little
opposition to the Republican
nominees is anticipated. although
the Democrats have made strong
contests. Supporters of Victor
Berger, Socialist. predict his re-
election by heavier ma jority.

Discover Insect Pests by Radio

/ Thanks to the radio. fruit growers
will hereafter he able to determine
through the sense of hearing whether
apples and other fruits are wormy.
DR.. c. K. Brain. professor of entomolo-
gy at Stcllenbosch University. South
Africa, has conducted a series of ex-
periments along this line as a result of
which he has drawn the conclusion
that worms and bugs can be detected
with certainty by radio.
DR.. Brains method was simply that
of attaching to an ordinary wireless
telephone an unusually strong micro
phone. He took parts OF twigs of an
apple tree known to be infected with
the larvae of the apple worm, and
placed them in a box connected with
the microphone. Through the receiver
he could distinctly hear the move
ments of the larvae, as we'll as the nib
bling of the insects at the leaves. Like
wise he placed a wormy apple in the
box. and the microphone registered the
noise made by the worm as he nibbled
away at the apple.
A third experiment consisted in de-
tecting the presence of the weeviI in
corn.
