OUR LIGHTING AND POWER

Lets you forget, friend, this
town is paying the highest price
for lighting and power of any
town this size anywhere an this
section of the country. 1t cannot
grow industrially as long as that
is the case. 1t is our duty, wheth-
en- pleasing or not, to give you
this information-to keep pok-
ing you about it till you do some
thing to remove the handicap.
Other towns make this their talk
ing point. We sit here under
this disadvantage and let the
world go by.
1t is every citizens duty to
stand together on the matter of
removing this hanaicap. 1t is for
the sake of the town-the future
chance to erow-that we write
this. We wish thousand times
over, again and again, that we
might be able to say there are
distinct advantages in the light
ing and power costs. The electric
motor is coming to be the indus
trial world. 1t would be so in
Cordele today if we would per-
NIT it to be.
But next summer when the
electric storms beat every day
upon our pitifully little depend
ence which reaches all around an
eightymile loup through Lees
burg and Americas on something
barely as good as a telephone
system, we are going to stand
and wait while our motors are
dead. 1t hurts us to think of
what this newspaper is going to
lose in that unsatisfactory ar
rangement--and then. we are
going to be required to pay anc
pay and pay on what We do get.

CHICAGO, Jan. "a. - Contending
in large advertisements printed in
all Chicago morning newspapers that
''the movement of traffic is not half
SO important as human life, and that
there il no business pursuit so
pressing that human life must be de-
strOyed to accomplish it," the Vel

for reduction in speed of all surface
vehicles in Chicago to twenty miles
an hour.
The company offered to pay "a
big sum of money" to any person
who will devise a scheme that will
even partially remedy the situation
which now IL costing thousands Of

''are speeding and jay.walking. And

they win not cease, or even be

ALARMING RISE.
IN CR|MESBY
WOMEN
Bootleg and Drug Traffic Re-
sponsibIe in East. Says
Mrs. VVilIebrandt.
By w. II. ATKINS
Cosmopolitan News Service.

. l.
Cosmopolitan News Service.
Women of the East commit more
Federal crimes than women Of the
West.
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, so declared today.
Why is it?
''The bootleg liquor and narcotic
traffic is responsible for the larger
number Of offenders in Eastern
States, because it is in this area
that the illicit whiskey and drug
traffic has its main strongholds,
Mrs. Willebrandt declared. New
York city, New Jersey and Penn
sylvaIaia are the strongholds.
Mrs. Willehrandt said crimes by
women under Federal statutes are
increasing at an alarming rate.
L "The bootleg and drug traffic.
using women as blinds or tools,
are responsible for an increase OF
about 100 per cent in feminine In
fractions Of Federal laws the past
year." she said
rOE " % 1TASUAs
Growth Of law defiance by
women nas quickened efforts In
Congress- to provide Federal prison
for women. The bill providing such
an institution has passed the
Senate and is now before the House
with PROBABILITY of favorable action. "
There are now $50 Federal wom-
en- prisoners. There are no accom-.
modations for them in either of the
three existing Federal prisons,
which are for sale violators exclu-
sively. Mrs. Willebrandt said it Is
imperative that the Government
make proper provision for the care
of it's female prisoners population,
under conditions that permit their
reconstruction into better women
when their terms have expired.
Such a prison would provide voca.
tional education or training and
other wholesome features.
widespread participation by
women in conspiracies to circum-
vent the Federal laws is increasing
at such q rate as to occasion a
feeling Of alarm among authorities
Of the Government entrusted with
law enforcement" she said.
Drugs Chief Cause.
"An investigation conducted by
the Department of Justice revealed
that narcotic drug addiction is now
q greater cause for women's down
fall than at any other period in the
country's history. Federal court
records show amazing instances of
women as ring leaders in the dope
traffic. Most instances of drug law
violation by women, however, show
that they are being used more gen.
orally by illicit drug distributors as
peddlers. Women are figuring
more generally also in drug SNUG.
Cling conspiracies."
Assistant Attorney General Wills
brandt, who has supervision Of
Federal Government prosecutions in
narcotic law cases, as well as in
prohibition law cases, declared that
convictions Of women offenders in
the Federal and State courts
something that was seldom heard Of
a few years ago-is doing much to
raise the standard of women.

MOSCOW HAS UNIQUE SCHOOL
"University of the Toiling East
Draws From MANY Races.
Rapp in Current History Magazine.

". J. Rapp in Current History Magazine.
The Russian government has estab-
1ished in Moscow one of the most Curl
Gus and interesting educational institu-
lions in the world-the so-calIed Uni
versity Of the Toiling East. Here one
finds students from almost every Asiatic
race, pursuing the very diversified
courses suited to their varied stages
of cultural development. In the crowd
ed living quarters of the students are
highly educated Indian and Chinese
reyolutionists, with degrees from Ok
ford and Heidelberg, mingIing with wild
1nountaineers from Daghestan and the
northern ranges Of the Caucasus, who
are barely able to read and write, and
some of whom had never seen fac
tory or a large town. Among the thou
sand students Of the university are a
number Of eastern women who have
put aside their wells together with their
traditional habits of thought. Some of
them come from remote, backward viii
lagos, where it still means death for a
woman to expose her face on the street.
The aim Of the university is to give
general and technical education. Natu-
rally, the MARKHAM point of view is set
before the primitive people who are
enrolled At this unique institution.

STANDARD RADIO
TUBE OK. US.
Is Similar to Present WD-11,
With Base That Will Fit
UV-199 Socket.

A new standard receiving tube,
similar to the present. WD-11 cleo
trically with a base which will Mt the
UV-1Ss socket, has been adopted by
the government upon the recommen-
dation of the inter-department radio
advisory committee, it was announced
today by the Department Of Com
merce.
The new government tube makes a
radical change in the method OF OBJ
tanning contact between the tube base
and socket. A knife blade type Of
contact is employed. A horizontal
projection is formed at the end of
each of the four base terminals, the
socket for use with this tube having
four pairs of spring clips with which
these knife-blade projections engage.
The diameter Of the base is one inch
and the overall height of the tube is
not more than three and one-half
inches.
The filament requires 0.25 ampere
with a nominal voltage of 10 volt. 1t
will generally be used with 60 volts
on the plate and a negative grid volt
age Of 3 volts.
that the manufacturer shall submit a
sample lot Of fifty tubes for test The
tests to determine whether the tubes
submitted meet these specifications
! will be conducted jointly by the bu-
reau of Standards. Signal Corps. and
the bureau of engineering Navy De-
partmenO. If the sample lot complies
with the specifications, bids on these
tubes will be acceptable for purchase
by the government departments.
Details Left to Makers.
The specifications cover the cleo
trical characteristics which are essen
tiai, and the mechanical dimensions
which must be followed in order to
insure that the tubes will be inter
| changeable. 1t is left to the manu-
facturers to work out the detailed
| means by which this performance and
construction may be accomplished.
The inter-department radio advis-
| DRY committee has been assisted in
| the preparation of these specifications
| by the representatives of the manu-
featuring companies from which
tubes have previously been purcha sed
| by the government. 1t is understood
that several manufacturers are pre-
pared to produce tubes which meet
these specifications and that two or
three departments have delayed the
placing of orders until these specffl-
cations were completed.
While the adoption of these specfi-
cations by the inter-department ra-
dio advisory committee does not ma e
| their use mandatory. the fact that the
| principal purchasing departments
participated actively in their prepa-
| ration insures that they will be gen.
orally adopted. These specifications
will be considered for adoption as \
government standard in the near fu-
ture by a committee on radio appa-
ratus which has recently been formed
| by the federal specification board.
Each of the larger purchasing de-
| partments will probably issue these
specifications in it's own customary
form. Copies Of the specifications
adopted by the nter-department ra-
! do advisory committee may be Sc
cured from the secretary, inter-
