mouse trap, and to date has a record
Of fourteen mice. :
The scheme was the result of a
visit from three mice, who scam.

ROMPING AROUND
RADIO > DIAL.
BY Listener.In

The red letter days of our cal
endar have taken on much added
interest with the coming OF radio.
Commemoration and celebration
exercises no longer are confined to
fortunate few. Broadcasting the
memorial or festival spirit has be-
come as easy as broadcasting the
spirit of jazz.
Especially appropriate to the day
was the amplification yesterday Of
the official memorial services for
the nations war dead, that all the
country might hear and silently and
reverently participate in it.
Following the Arlington service,
It was still fitting that the broad.
casting station should continue the
tribute to the country's heroes with
programs especially arranged for
the studio.
One of the finest broadcasts of
the year was the recital of Gretchen
Hood. Washington's own soprano,
with the accompaniment of the
Navy Band Orchestra, under the
leadership of Charles Benter.
1t was extremely appropriate, too.
that Miss Hood should have closed
her recital with Victor Herbert'e
Italian Street Song from Naughty
Marietta" There was the musical
artists tribute to a hero of their
own folk who found his grave dur.
ing the past week.
The other Herbert numbers played
by the Navy Band Orchestra-the
composers three favorttes-the Red
Mil Selection. kiss. Me Again" and
"A Kiss in the Dark" were made
indescribably beautiful by Mr.. Ben
toms orchestra. q
Miss Elizabeth Reside, who also
sang to the accompaniment uf the
Navy Band Orchestra, gave a bril-
liant performance.
There seems to US to be great
possibilities in this cooperation of
The Washington times., 1924-05-31

Washington singers with the navy
musicians.
Imagine our surprise. yesterday
when we were permitted to hear a
really clever composition written by
Stuart Hayes and played by William
T. Pierson in the WCAP studio.
Having asked Mister Hayes to try
to make us forget with his music.
Mister Hayes Immediately obliged,
but apologetically explained that ma
ture had not fitted him to sing for
us. 49, ~
About the only thing that, could
possibly surprise ue now Is an an
nouncement that Bruce LunI has
been engaged by the Metropolitan
Opera Company.
The Hayes music. we hope, will
be put on the air at an early date.
Having completed his series of
cameo productions of Gilbert and
Sullivan opera, Roxy will begin to-
morrow night another series OF
light opera revivals.
The first Of the new series will
be an abbreviated version Of THE
Spring Maid" which was first pro-
duced in America in 1910.
In the cast will be Frank Moulan,
Sara Edwards. Betsy Ayres, Peter
narrower, Ava Bombarger. Gladys
Rice. Joseph Wetzel, James Parker
Coombs and Marjorie Harcum.
An interesting bit of information
as to how certain numbers and
features find their places on broad
cast programs was, given us last
night by Mr.. Benter, of the Navy
Band.
The selections from "Martha"
were played at the request of a
Kansas listener. who has been a
regular attendant" of the Navy
Band programs for three months,
and who writes to Mr.. Benter regu.
larly, following the Navy Band
performances. .

from the American voters, today ex-
pressed his Simple thanks" as one of
his first acts after his election was
assured.
at does not seem possible to me-
Mr.. Coolidge said in statement which
he read to the newspapermen, "to

States. No other honor equals it; no
other responsibility approaches it.
When it is conferred by IAN overwhelm-
ing choice of the American people and

made all the greater.
II can only express my simple
thanks to all those who have contrib
uted to this result and plainly ac-
knowledge that it has been brought to
pass through the work of a divine
providence, of which am but one in
strument. Such power as l have
dedicate to the service of all my coun-
try and of all my countrymen. In
the performance of the duties of my
office cannot ask for any thing more
than the sympathetic consideration

people. | have no pledge except to
serve them. I have no object except
to promote their welfare"

SAYS COUNT BALLOTS
WITH SINGLE CROSS
Attorney Generals Department Re-
verses its Opinion on Independ-
ent Ballot Today.

Madison, Wis. - Ballots. cast in yes
terday's election bearing marks at the
head of the LaFoIlette-W Wheeler indie
pendent presidential ticket without
marks for the individual electors,
should be counted, the attorney gen.
erals department ruled today in an
opinion to Secretary of State Fred R.
Zimmerman.
The opinion has an important bear
ing on results Of the presidential vote
in Wisconsin due to reports from
various parts Of the state to the eff
feet that the voters did not mark the
Individual LaFollette electors in many
instances.
The opinion is significant also from
the fact that court proceedings are
likely to determine The question. The
legal departments ruling declared it
is advisable to leave to the courts the
final determination of the point.
The LaFoAette campaign in the state
was waged on basis of marking all
thirteen presidential electors. Attor-
ney General Ekern in statement here
recently charged voters to mark all
thirteen LaFollette electors, saying
that this was necessary for the vote
to count under Wisconsin laws. In
today's opinion written by Assistant
Attorney General F. E. Bump the le-
gal department said that since all
the electors appearing in. separate
columns of the tickets were of the
political group, the ballot should not
be thrown out if not marked for all
electors

That seems to work in more ways

When "Mrs. John Parker" attempt
ed to purchase kiddy car at Bode
Brothers furniture store with check
made out to John Parker and signed
John Browning, it didn't work. She
had a carefully worked out "line of
attack" but the line as well as the at
tack failed in this instance. Bode
told the woman making the purchase
that they would deliver the goods on
Monday morning and then collect. But
when they came to fulfill their prom
Use they found an empty lot at the
address which Mrs. Parker gave on
the check. At any rate, Bode Broth
ers are out nothing.
But Mrs. Parker had great deal
of courage, and she was probably
quite clever. Undaunted by her first
rebuff the woman with the same child
and the same boil on the left side of
her nose went. over to the Kenosha
Smart Shop at 212 Main street.
Here the woman wished to look at
some coats. After about ten minutes
she decided, according to the story Of
the saleslady, that she wanted dress
instead. She chose a black dress
trimmed in blue for SIS and on pre-
senting the same check which she had
tried to pass at the furniture store
she was given S23.50 in change.
Then Mrs. Parker, perhaps stepping
a bit more lightly than few mo-
ments earlier, stepped into the Lead

anguish and nervous suffering it is
possible for human brute of the
character of this defendant to infiict
on a woman as good and noble and
chaste as your plaintiff.

of this marriage used liquors OF such
potent strength and in such excessive
quantities as to render this defendant
naught but drunken wastrel.
'sYour plaintiff has been forced to
go into the marts of trade and seek
there the wherewithal with which to
purchase the ordinary necessities of
life
'That this defendant remains away
from home for long periods of time
and has advised your plaintiff that he
has had the utter idiosity to go upon
social frolics with women and others
unknown to your plaintiff; that these
statements were made with the inten-
ton of causing your plaintiff to suf
fer heartbreak and mental agony.

Much Interest in Election. @a
Today, as the outcome of the ma
ton election became generally known,
interest in Kenosha turned to the
county election and many could not
understand why there was so long de-
lay in determining who were the win
ners for certain Offices. BY ten o'clock
this morning all the boards with the
exception of the Fifth and Seventh
had completed their work but so close
was the race for several offices that
the outcome hinged on the vote in
these wards. A half an hour later the
Fifth ward completed it's work but
still the election of sheriff and regis
ter of deeds was in doubt, the Repub-
licans probably having comfortable
leads for the other county Offices.
Still the board at the Seventh ward,
having taken time out for both break
fast and dinner trudged on at. their
work. 1t was said that one of the
causes for the delay was the abnor-
NAL vote; that this was increased by
the fact that the ballots had been
practically counted when an unfor
tunate accident happened whereby the
piles of counted and uncounted ball
lots became jumbled and forced the
board to start the work all over again.
There seemed little likelihood that
the check-up would be completed ear
ly this afternoon but as the vote pro-
ceeded it became more and more prob
able that Willems would nose out Hack
err for sheriff and Schmitt would be
named register of deeds over Shaw.
