personal note of radio as well as
Roxy" Each succeeding Sunday
night finds him effecting a more
intimate relationship with his far
flung audience.
To the thousands who sat in the
semi-gloom of dimmed lights or
low.burning logs last night and
heard the concluding part of his
program-a series Of sentiment
provoking ballads, the Capitol The
ater studio was not a hundred or a
thousand miles away.
1t was just past the half closed
doors, in the adjoining room, and
"Roxy" and the gang were sitting
also quiet in the semi-gloom,
dreaming and echoing their dreams
in song.
It was a device worthy OF a
Barnum turned Barrie.
"Roxy" made several announce
ments of interest to his followers.
First, in conversation with
Gladys Rice, just returned to New
York from Washington, he publicly
announced his plans Of touring the
Atlantic coast with his "gang."
Walter Reed Hospital was the only
place specifically noted for an ap-
pearance. Miss Rice spoke en-
thusia stically of her visit there.
Second, the genial manager OIL
the Capitol Theater musicians ex-
planned that photographs of the
gang or of individual members may
be had in a short time by sending
hostage to cover the mailing costs
Of the photographs. roxy" warned
against ordering the pictures from
any source except the Capitol The
ater studio.
We have already submitted our
request for one Of the gang and
a separate one Of Evelyn Herbert.
And we hope she photographs as
we'll as she sings.

WDM Much Improved.

The Rev. Charles Wood. pastor Of
the Church of the Covenant, which
onerates it's own broadca sting sta

night for reports on the reception
from the improved plant.
We hasten to reply that WDM
was coming in on our set with a
volume unexceeded by any station.
II was an easy matter to tune out
wCAP and bring in the Church OF
The Covenant.

Thanks for the Map.
A radio map Of the United States
which is the best thing Of it's kind
we have seen, arrived in the mails
Saturday. 1t bore an inconspicuous
advertisement of the Morton Salt
Company and we presume 1t is
that organization we have to thank
for the gift. The map contains a
notation of every broadcasting sta
ton, is subdivided into the radio
zones and the different times are
clearly marked.
Upon a study Of the map we
made the interesting discovery that
Mississippi is the only State with.
out broadcasting station and that
California. with thirtv-seven sta.

POLAND RULES STRICT
FOR RADIO STATIONS

Ownership and operation Of radio
stations in Poland rests exclusively
with the authorized departments Of
the Polish government. according
to advices to the Department of
Commerce. A bill. however, has
been pending. before the Diet for
the past several months by the
terms of which amateur or private.
ly.owned receiving stations will be
authorized under government con-
troll.
There is only one factory in
Poland making radio apparatus.
It's output is confined principally
to army requirements. Vacuum

NEW FERRY LINE TO JERSEY

Wilson Company May Run Boats From
Terminal To Relieve Auto Congestion
Negotiations are being made by the
Wilson Line and the Board of Harbor
Commissioners for the establishment
of a ferryboat line between the
Marine Terminal and Penn's Grove.
Such ferry line will aim to save time
for those going from Wilmington to
Penn's Grove with automobiles. Final
arrangements will probably be maGe
within a month. If S). the new fe-ry
line will no doubt De in use this M
mer. Such a move on the part of the
Wilson Line has been sponsored by
automobile associations, and partic-
ularly by the Lions Club. The need
of a new ferry terminal in such an
appropriate place as the Marine Ter
minal was visible last summer when
during the holiday and excursion
periods, there were between 200 and
300 automobiles waiting in line tC
board the ferry at Fourth street warf
The distance from the Marine Ter.
minal to PENIS Grove is two miles
1t is a mile from the Marine Termina
to Fourth street wharf. The trip b!
ferryboat from Fourth street wharf tt
Penn's Grove takes forty minutes
With the new ferry line the automo
bilist can embark at PENIS Grove ant
land at the Marine Terminal, savinl
approximately twenty minutes, whicl
would otherwise be consumed gOinj
farther up the Christiana to Fourtl
street wharf. If the new line is pu
in use, the number of ferrybOats o
the Wilson Line fleet will not be in
creased neither will the line to FOurt
street wharf be discontinued.

Washington.-A man from the des-
ert has forsaken the great barren
spaces for the whirl of Washington
social and diplomatic life.
But for A. Nj. Hassanein Bey, first
secretary of the Egyptian legation, the
moonlight nights, sandstorms and
hardships of the desert are more at
troctiye than the elaborate bathrooms
and colorful receptions which are in
separable adjuncts to diplomatic life
In America.
Hassanein Bey is one of Egypts IA
yorite sons. While only in his thirty
fourth year, he has won distinction as
n soldier, athlete, adventurer, scholar
and horseman. He is a true Egyptian
and his love for the desert and for his
people is profound.

Saving the WhiteGsh From Extinction

AT spawning time the fish rise to the
surface in pairs. Immediately after
spawning, the fishes return to their
natural home in the deeper waters of
the lake.
The eggs, which are of pale am
ber color and about one-eighth of an
inch in diameter, are favorite food
of the "waterdog.," or mud puppy,
as that particular kind of salamnnder
is called. and also of the yellow perch,
crawtish and wild fowl. For a period
of nearly five months the eggs are sub
jected to the voracious attacks of their
many enemies, and so great are their
depredations that, under natural con-
ditions. only a very small percentage
of the eggs reach maturity and are
hatched.
1t is ut this juncture that Uncle
Sam steps in and starts his conserva-
tiGn work. Practically all of the eggs
taken for Matching purposes are OBJ
tained from fish caught by the COM
mercial fishermen, the value of their
catch being in no way affected by the
process. The one great essential is
utmost care in all steps of the process
to prevent injury to the eggs. which
are very delicate when first taken and
may be easily ruptured and ruined.

To Seek Data

and water temperature, wind and sea
surface conditions,
The Navy department has extended
Captain Bartlett every cooperation In
his work, which will be of great value
as a basis of explorations such as
those proposed when the Shenan-
doah's North pole trip was planned.
AS the foremost living authority on
practical navigation of Arctic waters
Captain Bartlett was named mem
ber of the polar expedition board. and
during the consideration of the Shen'
andoah's flight he furnished much
valuable data.
An air exploration of the unknown
million square miles between Point
Barrow and the pole probably would
be made in summer months, time
of year when no explorer ever went
there, because the unbroken Ice of
winter is essential for surface travel.
Ice foes and open water are aids to
air operations in the North, while
the summer months promise comfort
able flying temperatures and "a hours
of daylight.
"The lure of million square miles
of unknown area, which may reveal
land bodies that will be of use when
commercial air routes are established
across the pole remains challenge
to America" said Captain Bartlett,
before he departed.
"Our flag flies at the pole and at
Point Barrow-it is up TO Americans
to find and claim what lies between"

anniversary trip will sail out of Seat
tie, going north to Unalaska, the

visited. She will touch Point Barrow
and cruise back to Bering strait.
The Bear was launched so years
ago this spring from the ways at
Grennock, Scotland, and was a Dun

government bought her. Every year
since 1888 she has made the lonesome

frontiers to administer law among
Uncle Sans Eskimo wards and pro-
tect his remote property on seal is

SPlRAcY EXISTED

ashngton.-Former Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty put an abrupt II per-
haps only temporary stop to the storm
marked course of the Senate investiga-
tion of his official conduct by refusing
to appear as Il witness, and by with
drawing the attorneys who have repre-
sented him in the prolonged proceed
ings.
Paul Howland of Mr.. Daugherty's
counsel, read the statement of his eli
ent, charging that members of the
Senate committee had sought to black
en- his reputation. and injure his stand
ing, in an inquiry which an Ohio fed
eral court had pronounced an illegal
proceeding.
"The silence of the tomb had forever
rendered the direct denial of these
ISLANDERS impossible" Mr.. Daugherty
said, in n declaration that he had new
er during tenure of office ''profited in
any Illegal, corrupt or unethical way
directly or indirectly"
Chairman Brookhart in an immediate
denial declared the committee inquiry
had proven "the existence of a GRIM
inal conspiracy into the household of
the former attorney general, referring
TO testimony concerning alleged actlVi-
ties of the late Jesse w. Smith, Mr.
Daugherty's companion. Further, ne
said. the committee had shown by tax
records that Mr. Daugherty on enter
ing office had little property, but that
in 1921 they had found evidence OF
$4,000 cash deposited to his credit IN
his brothers Ohio bank.
Mr.. Daugherty had consistently
ldopted the policy of accusing assali-
ants, instead of defending himself
from charges, the chairman went on
and he cited the Indictment in Mon
,ana of Senator Wheeler, the commit
Zee prosecutor, as "frameup" Illus
trative of the methods.
Probably no other congressional in
ouiry has been marked by accessory
operations of so drastic and far reach
ing nature as those embarked upon
In the Daugherty investigation, for in
addition to a staff of Senate EN-
p!oyees, Frank A. Vanderlip, New
York financier, has lent it the aid OF
a numerous group of attorneys and In
vestigators organized by himself.
The facts, accusations and asser'
tions have dealt with many matters
touching the conduct of the Depart
ment of Justice in Mr.. Daugherty
administration, from the application
of the prohibition law through prose
cution of war funds, the transporta-
ton of prizefight motion pictures,
and the pardon of criminals down to
