T,co Radio Signals
Race Round Globe;
End Second Apart
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 1.-TWO
radio signals were flashed in
opposite directions around the
world last night from the third
annual National Radio Exposition
in Grand Central Palace, and the
eastbound signal won the race by
one second. According to the engi-
neers of the Radio Corporation Of
America. who conducted the test,
this was the first successful at
tempt to encir6e the globe with
n single wireless message. The
letter G sent eastward completed
the circuit in five seconds, while
the letter S made the westward
journey in six seconds.
The difference in time was due
to the fact that the winning sig
nal was relayed only three times,
while the westward signal was
handled by one additional relay
station. The relay points were:
Eastward. Paris, Saignon, in
French Indo-China, and San Fran
cisco: westward, San Francisco.
Honolulu, Malabar, in Java, and
London.

ANNOUNCING A CASH BASIS.

Your patronage during the past
year has been greatly appreciated
and we extend our thanks for the
trade you have given US.
Our policy has always been and
always will be to sell the best OBJ
tainable goods at the lowest prices.
To continue this we must adopt all
ways to cut down overhead expenses
in the operation of our business.
A cash basis not only eliminates
the expense of bookkeeping and loss
es from poor accounts, but it also
enables a store to discount its bills
for merchandise and to take advan-
tage Of the market by good buying
Therefore, we have decided that,
beginning January 1st, 1924. our
business will go on cash basis.
In beginning this policy we feel
that our customers will benefit as
much as ourselves. Paying cash al
ways means saving money. We ex-
pect now to be able to serve you
better than ever before.
Cordially yours,

TO FIGHT RADICAL TEACHING
Tacoma Woman Donates to Establish Chair at Pacific University at
 Forest Grove, Ore.

A practical means of combating the industrial, social and economic unrest being fostered in this country b. the l. W. w. and other radical forces, has been found, 1t is believed, in the recent establishment of the American Legion chair of history and patriot ism at Pacific university, Forest Grove, Ore.
 This department, conceived by Le- gionnaires when the effect of returned ex-service men began to make itself manifest in stabilizing the restless un- employed, became an accomplished fact when Mrs. Robert L. Mccormick of Tacoma, Wash. long a friend of the ex-service man. donated s100,o00 to the perpetuation of the chair.
 The movement to establish the chair of history and patriotism was started early last spring. American Legion men, seeing possibilities in the policy of the Pacific university. whereby free scholarships were given all ex service men, suggested that the university lay before the various patriotic organiZa-

POST POLLS OPEN TWO DAYS
Modern City Methods Used at EIec- tion Conducted by the Douglas
 County (Neb.) Legion.

With the largest membership of any post in the United States, the Dodglas county tNeh) post of the American Legion, when confronted by it's re- cent elections, solved the problem by a system as comprehensive and eff cient as any city or state election system. Polls were established in the county courthouse and were kept open from ' 80 a. m. until D. m. on two consecutive days. A board of election commissioners sat at the courthouse during the polling and passed on the eligibility of each voter. None was allowed to ballot who had not paid up his dues for the year Absentee voters sent their ballots by mail and telegraph, the board passing on the authenticity of the ballots. The only trouble in the election was the insist ence of some enthusiastic politicians who tried to carry their electioneer- ing almost to the curtain of the voting booth. It was found necessary to es- tablish a dead line for the amateur politicians some distance from the polls.
