PARASITES ATTACKING
 TREASURED COCOANUT TREE
Most Treasured Product of CianOrros On Island of Guam Is In Very
 serious Danger

Aeana. Guam, April i.-The cocoa nut tree. the most treasured product of the Chamorros on the island of Guam. has been attacked by de- structiye parasite. and the resources of American science are being drawn on to combat if.
 When the insect was discovered re- cently the governor Of Guam, Captain II. E. Price. |. s. N., appealed for help by radio to the department of agriculture in Washington. He then organized every local means available for fighting the arboreal plague.
 Affected trees have been found at widely separated points on the island. but as yet the insect has not made great headway. Its mere presence, however. has caused COnstefnati0n among the pOpulace. for without the cocoanut tree the natives would feel lost.
 The coCOanut scale, according 10 an 2 agricultural circular of Fiji. is q min- ute insect. called the Aspidiotus De- structor. It attacks the under side Of the leaf. either killing the tree or stopping it's yield. It has done serious damage in many of the south Pacific islands. H. G.

RADIO BROADCASTING
 NEEDS MILES OF WIRE
While in Theory No Wires Are Need ed In Practice They Are
 A Necessity

New York, April 4.-while radio broadcastIng and receiving, as it is known today, is development of the wireless telegraphy and telephony sys- tenn originated by William Marconi and others, it is not generally known that wires, thousands of miles of them, play a vital part in the new science.
 Illustration of the preparation nec- essary to wide broadcasting of q pro- gram was furnished by the Lincoln. day speech of President Coolidge in New York, when wEAEF, local station of the American Telephone & Tele- graph company. sent the presidents words to millions of cars throughout the country.
 First, a special wire was installed into the Waldorf Astoria. where the president spoke. 4 special sending set was placed in the hotel lasemcnt' attached to the micrOpHUno before which the president was to speak \ man with a chest telephone sat within a few rect Of the president. watching his every movement and reporting zach to the man al the iiasement st who, through deft manipulation Oi necessary mechanisIns. sent the words erenIy through Ire SD, ciai wire fo WHATS studios in tower Bica5Eag-
 There another group of experts took

the presidents words and drained
 them simultaneously into wires which carried them to WHATS hToadcasting
 plant a mile away, for local radio consumption, and into copper strands that carried them to Washington, D. C., and Providence, F. l., where other stations sent them into the air on ether waves that carried the address into homes for hundreds of miles about. Thus did the presidents speech read New Tork's metropolitan area. New Jersey. all of New England and q large part Of the south almosts as soon as the words were spoken.
 On another occasion WEAF, through the use of telephone wires. broadcast simultaneously from sta- tiohs in New York. Schenectady, Pitts burgh and Chicago q convention pro- gram.
 Wire transmission of programs for radio broadcasting. while not the least, is one Of the main problems of get ting metropolitan programs within range of the smaller receiving sets hundreds and thousands of miles away. There is the problem Of pro- perly regulating tonal volume Of the spoken and written words and the music before if is directed into the telephone wires. 4 specially trained crew of men on duty in the plant de- partment adjoining the studios. in which the programs are sent through the microphoDes. control, through instruments. the tonal qualities of the matter broadcast.

Value of a Good Presidential

The value Of good secretary Presidents is inesmabe
Many chief executives have learned from bitter experience
that the selection Of Cabinet officers not half important

whose hands rests much of the popularity and Of

including Senator's Congressman high officials newspaper
correspondents photographers and the general of hui

Whatever may be the measure of BASCOM SLEMP, as
taken by his political opponents and critics. there is wide
spread agreement in Washington and throughout the country

resign his position there limited at his leaving will doubt
less be against the wishes of the President with the
Virginia mountaineer has operated wisely and we'll
tested by the results Of the November election.
Aside from his duties of secretary Mr. Slemp shrewd
political leader did excellent work in helping line UP

After that he became daily target for gas attacks

these gas barrages he went ahead with the

positions next to that Of the President himself.
Mr.. Slemp matter how short long his in the

who representing the Chief Executive keeping in direct
touch with the public, avoided hurtful blunders.
If Presidents make mistakes that their doing and

the advice of their secretaries but the real good secretary
is supposed not to make many Consequently he must if
successful Slemp has been, be big with unusually
fine mind
