award Zenith receiving set-an

Unheard for Weeks
The offers of Mr.. Hermann and
Mr.. Mcdonald are made to stifnu-
late watchfulness on the part Of
amateurs capable of receiving the
code messages of WNP. Nothing
has been heard from the MCMILLAN
party for several weeks and while
this causes no great uneasiness-
due to the fact that Captain Nc
MILAN is now experiencing almost
continuous daylight-the donors of
the two prizes hope that some freak
of reception may bring word frc:a
the ice-bound schooner.
The Bowdoin is equipped with
standard receiving and transmitting
set. The latter, of course, is for
code work only, and has, a power
rating of but 100 watts, due to the
desire of the explorer to conserve
space. 1t has been heard regularly,
however, in various parts Of the
world until few weeks ago.

the station has grown steadily less

Radio to Play Big Part in
Presidential Campaign
This Year.

+ j -4,4
Whether or not radio elects the
next President" as some enthus.
lasts have ,prophesied. It win play
a tremendously important part in
the Presidential campaign this
year. Y
For the first time. in history,
radio will afford an opportunity
for Presidential candidates to dis.
cuss issues and present their views
to millions Of persons, as compared
with the thousands they have been
able to reach in previous cam
paigns.
But even more. important than
this will be the opportunity which
radio will afford to citizens through.
out the country, not only to hear
the speeches Of candidates and to
learn at first hand the views of
statesmen, but also to enjoy the
thrills Of the big party conventions.
Both the Republican national con.
vention in Cleveland. and the Demo
cratic national convention in New
York will be broadcast.
All Public Proceedings.
All the public proceedings lead!
ing up to the selection Of candi.
dates, the nominating speeches,
the doings o. notabies on the floor
of the convention, and other pic
turesQue, human interest aspects
Of the proceedings win be winged
through the air to millions Of lis
teners. $50
Such service win be welcome
everywhere, but it will be doubly
SO In country districts which do not
have access to the hourly editions
Of city newspapers. The radio re-
ports will be broadcast to the
farthest corners of the land. Broad.
casting stations will be tied by
land lines with the most powerful
broadcasting stations in the coun-
try. No person in the United
States need miss the thrill and edu-
cation which will come from lis
tening to these great conventions.
Presidential campaigns are one
Of the most appealing and human
OF American political, institutions.
The great political battles of the
past have stirred the nation, de.
veloped leaders, and made history.
The intensity of the struggles
makes them live wildly in memory.
Men date their recollections by i'm.
portant political campaigns.
Strength To Be Saved.
Following the convention this
year, it is likely that the candidates
Of both parties, instead of making
the traditional Swing around the
circle" which involves thousands
Of miles of hot and dusty traveI
and the nerve-racking excitement
and fatigue of appearing before
great public gatherings, will save
their strength and yet reach more
people by broadcasting their princi-
pal addresses. The fact that the
last two Presidents of the United
States succumbed 10 illness by
which they were overtaken while
on long tours, would indicate the
wisdom of public men conserving
their strength when possible by
using radio.
The educational effect on mill
lions of American citizens listen
ing to the proceedings of the forth
coming national conventions can
scarcely be overestimated. Closer
acquaintance with government and
governmental and political proce-
dures will go long way toward
securing more active participation
in Government by the average citi-
zen.

TRUCK DRIVER ENJOYS
TALKS BY FINANCIER

Two prominent men in financial
circles were discussing an impor-
tant question at the intersection Of
two streets in Brooklyn. A negro,
driving a team of horses, was
forced to wait at the curb, as the
traffic officer allowed vehicles to
pass in the other direction. The
negro overheard the conversation
between the two men and after a
moments stepped down and said.
"Pahdon me, sab, ahn't you all the

JAPANESE BOOK
ART IS MADE
FOR RICH
Few Natives Can Afford de
Luxe Illustrations, So
Foreigners Get Them

A word or two about Japanese
book illustrations. The history of
Japan may be said to be perpetu-
ated in her works of art; and among
the latter may be classedt de luxe
books-made chiefly for rich for
Oigners, as the average native can
mot afford them. Certain wealthy
japanese savants however, have
special books, with fine illustra-
tons, made for their libraries.
They possess in Japan the skill
and facility to turn out exquisite
vellum editions. typography has
made giant strides there, and their
colortype printing, done by hand
on crepe paper, is rich and glowing
In effect-almost like embossed
enamels.
Many of the souvenir books are
merely series of pictures, without
any text, except a few explanatory
words in Japanese on the margin.
They usually give pictorial YER
sion of some popular old legend or
celebrate the exploits of some
Shinto god or historic hero. The
Buddhist mythology Is also often
represented, but artists nowadays
are leaving such lore alone; as
Buddhism is not looked upon with
favor by the government.
Formerly, painting was not con-
Sidered vocation by itself in ia
pan, but a branch of decorative
art. For this reason some of the
foremost artists of Japan never
attempted an ambitious subject or
canvas, but painted birds and
flowers on china and porcelain, or
quaint designs on lacquer, or exc
cuted superb carvings on ivory.
The artistic bent of others was
exercised in the work of painting
pictures on paper lanterns, fans,
parasols and screens, or in weav-
ing gorgeous brocaded silks and
priceless tapestries and mats.
About 125 years ago such artists
as Hoyen, Yusei and Hokusai began
to break away from the trammels
of the old schools and conventions,
and took up free-hand drawing.
This was intended to be a popular
art and of necessity economy was
an important factor; therefore, the
process of printing with color blocks
was evolved. Four printings in
the hand 'of an expert workman
are all that is necessary to produce
color combinations of the utmost
subtlety and power. To the Occi-
dental mind the crudeness of the
process is. startling, and to those
who are familiar with machine pro-
cesses, possibly appalling.
Imagine an engraver with piece
OF cherry plank, on the flat side

utmost precision, lines the most

world has ever seen, with a Japa.

what is known as the black or out
line block and others which carry
the different colors to be printed
each over the other. Then with

SUIT WILL TEST
SEANEN' 5
ACT
Steamer Is LibeIed by Four
Sailors for Dentention in
U. S. Port

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 5.-The
stage was being set here today for
a test of the validity of the La
Toilette seamen's act. which ship
masters declare is responsible for
the unlawful entry of thousands of
aliens into the United States.
Under the La Toilette law. sea.
men may come ashore temporarily
at American ports. but in many in.
stances, according to immigration
agents, they do not return, electing
to remain in this country.
The action to test the law was
filed by four seamen against the
Italian steamer Salvore, which was
libeled for $4,000, the libelants de-
claring that they were kept forcibly
aboard the vessel when the La
Toilette act permitted them to &c
ashore. The new immigration law
may also be involved in the case
as it makes masters of vessels
liable for seamen who go ashore and
do not return.
The four seamen declare that
when the SalVore reached Sewelks
Point, after having been at sea
for thirty days, they started ashore
to make purchases for personal
needs. They were detained, they
allege, and held by the Waterman
employed by the Italian skipper.
Shipping men say that since the
ruling of the immigration bureau
making ship. masters liable for de-
sertions from their ships and re-
quiring a bond for each man that
comes ashore. it has been the
practice among them to keep their
crews aboard.
Jacob L Morewitz, of Newport
News, proctor for the seamen, told
court officials that the La Toilette
act did not contemplate desertion
and no provision was made for such

HERO AWARD ASKED
FOR TWO DEAD MEN

WASHINGTON, Pa. Sept. 5.-A
coroner's jury hearing the testimony
at an investigation here into the
death of three men who came in

the West Penn Power Company

cidental, but requested that the
names of Antonio and Joseph Sisul

to the Carnegie Hero Commission
for consideration by that body.
The Sisul brothers sacrificed
their lives in an effort to save
Frank Buchanan, who had EN-
countered the wire. which had been
knocked down by lightning, while
cropping his way home through a
binding storm. The Sisul brothers
who lived near the scene of the &C

and were killed themselves. Buchan
