ONE RADIO SYSTEM
 MAY SERVE WORLD
System To Be Based On Use
 Of Inaudible Waves

LONDON. July 1O.-(By Associated Press. )-The whole civilized world will eventually be served by single sys- tenn of radio broadcasting, it was pre- dieted today before the World Power conference in a joint contribution made by W. J. Brown of Metropolitan Cities, Great Britain, and Dr. ". H. Easton ot the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company of the United States.
 The system, it was stated, would be based on the use of inaudible short waves sent out by large stations and caught by small local stations which would rebroadcast them on audible wave lengths. The possibilities of this ne wsystem were proved last year, it was said by tests between the inaudible station KDKA of East Pittsburg, Pa, and the station QAC at Manchester, England, which rebrOadcast audibily.

EUGENE DEBS SENDS GREETINGS To DAVIS
Presidential Nominee Once De-
 tended labor Leader

CHICAGO, July 1O.-Ill in n sani- tarium here, Eugene V. Debs, five times presidential candidate of the socialist party, sent message of congratulation Thursday to his old friend, John w. Davis of West Virginia. His message expressed the pleasure of a man who probably never would be President over the fact that good man who might be had obtained the democratic nomina- tion. r~r etr
 Debs has been a sanitarium patient for several weeks. His condition is such that his physicians allow him to see no one except hospital attaches. During the coming campaign, he is re- ported to have said in letters to friends, he expects to support LaFollette.
 The socialist leader has a warm spot in his heart for Davis which dates back to the time when Debs and Mother Jones were arrested during coal strike in West Virginia, Davis defended

Angry Words But No Fisticuffs
 Marks Chamber Sitting

PARIS. July 1O.-An uproar again caused President of the Chamber Painleve to suspend a sitting of the chamber this. afternoon, but the incl dent was free from. fisticuffs.. Francois, Poncet, member of the minority, was speaking on the amnesty bill when the communists unrolled an electoral pos ter accusing NJ. Poncet of being a CO., director with a German colonel on the board of Serre financial company, crying:
 ''You are an agent of the Boches."
 Members of the minority called upon Nj. Painleve to censure the communists and when he did not respond they cried resign" while the left cheered.
 The president suspended the sitting amid jeering cries from the left bidding the right to Ego to Berlin to which the right ieered, answering they ''go to Moscow"

NIGHT TIME FLIGHT

DAYTON, Ohio, July 1O.-Complet- ing what officers of McCook Field said in a report today was a flight of the utmost importance to aerial navigation, Lieut. W. H. Brookley and Navigator Macshort landed at the post late yes- terday.
 Lieutenant Brookley and Navigator Macshort flew from Dayton to Kansas City and return in darkness, Stops were made along the route, but all the actual flying was done in the dark. the fliers depending wholly upon their earth induction compass and serial log, which is a new McCook Field device. The flights showed the reliability of the instruments beyond any doubt, the officers said, and is the fOrerunner of an era of intensive experimenting in crOss-country flying at night.

>the west to talk, face to face, with the farmers and the progressive, independ- ent voters of the west.
 Thus the democratic nominee, with his ability as an orator, his friendly, genial manner, and his commanding platform presence hopes to convince the voters of the west that the country would be safe in his hands.
 Is Clean Fighter
 Among those who have known Davis as a Congressman, as solicitor general of the department of justice and as ann bassador to Great Britain, such a cam paign would be totally unnecessary. Even among his political opponents at Washington, Davis is known as a man of scrupulous integrity, a clean fighter, and brilliant lawyer. In Congress he was identified with several progressive legislative measures.
 His first words upon being informed that he was the nominee were:
 'sThers can be rv cssaprgmise with 1 reaction. Liberal principles must and ] will prevail"
 William J. Bryan seems quickly to have forgotten his bitterness toward Davis. Bryan did everything in his power to stop the Davis stampede.
 
 the one on which Davis was nominated, the writer, encountering Bryan on the convention floor. asked what his atti- tude would be if Davis should be nomi- mated.
 'He isn't going to be nominated" Bryan retorted with a fierce look, as he reached to buttonhole a delegate and put in word against the West Virginia candidate.
 Finally Subsidies
 But by midnight following the nomi. nation, when everything seemed set to put Brother Charley Bryan over as the vice presidential nominee, the commoner seemed to have subsided.
 Thursday the breach was healed when Bryan called Davis and placed himself at the candidates service.
 They shook hands and chatted for moment. Then later in the day, Bryan again called with his brother, the candi- date, who saw Davis for the first time since their respective nominations.
 They discussed campaign plans brief ly. Governor Bryan will go to Wash ington for a day or so and then return to his home at Lincoln, Neb., and pre- pare for the opening of his campaign sonellHe cdEly III August. bryan VIII tour the western states thoroughly.
 His brother, William J., is going to Florida to rest. He will take the stump early in the fall.
 Where LaFOllette Will Strike
 Undoubtedly the LaFollette forces will lay heavy emphasis upon the corpo- rate connections of Davis. They see in his nomination the complete demonstra- tion of their contention that Wall street controls both of the major parties. They point to Davis on the democratic side. On the republican side, they call attention to one of Coolidges close friends and advisors, Dwight Morrow,

WHY RENT
 When You Can Buy Like Rent?

There is no earthly use of any man with steady employment not owning his own hearth and home in a city where such lib- eHal terms are made as in Bir- mingham. Of course, he may not be able to own a mansion, but somewhere in this great city or suburbs he can find a place within his reach. It is so much more thrifty to own than to rent and gives one a feeling of se- cufity and independence, To own your own home is one of the best recommendation that anyone can have. The want ad section of your Age-Herald eon- tains some splendid buys every morning. These places are off, fered by the most reliable and progressive firms in the city and are worthy of your careful con- sideration, # you have in mind to buy A HOME or YOUR OWN. Any assistance we scsn iSpd at "Want Ad Corner" towards nGsS- ing you get the place you want is yours for the asking.

HURRAH FOR WORCESTER!
By DIR. L. P. BOWEN.

Four hundred Summers backward,
In Sixteen Twenty Four,
The Whiteman's eyes first Toasted
On good old Eastern Shore,
Verrazanno's Dauphine lay
Anchored in Sinepuxent Bay.
Where Indian Periauguas
Had sailed her coves and streams.
The barque of the Palefaces
Was floating in rich dreams;
Her Captain, charmed with sky and
Bay,
Called these new shores Arcadia.
And looking down the ages,
His fancies all afioat,
Did Verrazanno's visions
Take in another Boat,
Emerging meath old Worcester's
skies,
To capture hearts and win the Prize
Arcadian Nymphs conspiring,
Romantic, fanciful,
Combined their thoughts of beauty
With skill of Jimmy Tull,
And like old Worcester's smilingstars
Out distance all comeptitors.
All hail, our fine old County,
All hail, her peerless Daughters,
Who launch their Boat to victory
Upon her sparkling waters,
And prove to all what they can do
In padding we'll their own canoe.
AS Argonauts embarking
In ancient days from Greece,
Brought back in all their glory
The famous Golden Fleece,
So does our Ladies' conquering Boat
Back to our ports serenely float.
We name our Boat the Dauphine,
For her of distant date,
And with our Girls as sailors,
/ claim to serve as Mate,
Our sails flung fondly to the breeze
And bound for stormless, cloudless
(Singularly these rhymes were
written before the Author knew that
the Winning Boat had any connection
with Verrazanno's.)

IRON TRADE REVIEW

CLEVELAND, O., July 3.-(Special9 3. Iron Trade Review today says: Im- provement in the breadth and volume of new business in steel is of minor char acter, but the situation has a more set- tied and less dubious tone. Opinion inclines to the belief that better things are in sight, which accounts for the more cheerful feeling that is prevalent. Buyers do not seem so confident they can break prices below their present levels, but they have only a limited amount of tonnage to bid for conces- sions. The stern way in which produc- tion and prices have been pinched down and the low state of. stocks in buyers hands apparently puts the situation in a good position to await favorable de- velopments.
 Production at the beginning of the week showed no appreciable variation over a week ago. A wide suspension of steel works and mills is scheduled for Thursday night, to continue to July z.
 June pig iron production fell to the lowest point since the coal strike in August, 1922, showing a further loss of 20.3 per cent in the average daily output from May. This brings the to 39.s per cent. The country in June was down to the point of making iron at the rate of only 24,6oO,ooO tons an- nually. Total output, 2,021, ,S77 tons, against 2,619,9S6 tons the preceding month. The loss of active furnaces in June was further increased to 27. mak- ing the total since March 109. On June 30, 160 stacks were active.
 A move in the direction of stiffening steel prices and of driving In sluggish tonnage is seen in the action of some large producers in fixing their dead

though some local shedding was report ed from Mississippi and stands are ir- regular in Alabama with . slight in- crense in weevil activity. The warm, sunny weather and local showers prompted rapid growth in Georgia, where the fields are well cultivated, while the hot sunshine and application of poison are holding the weevil In check.
 Early Plants Blooming
 Growth was fair to very good in the Carolinne, as rule, though, excessive rains occurred In some sections which were unfayorable. Early plants were beginning to bloom. in North Carolina with weevil reported in few scattered places. The weather was generally ia yorable for cotton in Tennessee, the more western states and in Florida, ex- cept it was too wet in the western DOT tion of Florida.
 Sugar beets made good progress and sugar cane grew well in central gulf sections, though still backward. Mel on shipments were active in the south- east, but melons are poor in western Florida. Tobacco made satisfactory growth in the south Atlantic area, and where curing made good avance. ~
 Rice did well in Texas, but more rain Is needed for this crop in Louisiana. Better weather prevailed for corn in Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and generally in Atlantic coast sections.

COTTON HELPED
 BY WARM RAINS
Cultivation Makes Good Progress, Says Govern
 ment's Summary

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Crop and weather conditions in southern states during the week ended yesterday were summarized today by the department of agriculture as follows;
 The moderately warm weather with local showers fovarably helped cotton in nearly all portions of the belt. While there was some interference with culti- vation in limited areas in the central and more eastern portions of the belt, conditions, on the whole, were favorable, for field work and cultivation made good progress.
 Fair In Texas
 Cotton made good growth in Texas and its general condition is fair though insects are still active, but small dam age, the first bale marketed at Houston June 28. Progress and condition were very good in Oklahoma, though the plants continued late, with some weevil re- ported in the southeast. Good to ex- cellent advance was received from Ar kansas where the fields are generally clean. The dry, warm weather in Lou isiana was helpful in combating the weevn and these conditions also favored fair to very good growth.
 Progress of the crop was fair to very good in Mississippi and Alabama,
