 Various reasons were advanced as the cause Of the general failure Of receiving sets here 10 pick up other English and continental stations, The principal cause was believed 10 have been misunderstanding of last minute change of plans, whereby British stations planned to send last night exclusive of continental sta tions IL had first been planned for both British and continental stations to broadcast and results on this side indicate that the ast-minute attempt to change the plan were unsucCess- fn' as fragments of programs were picked ID by amateurs in various sections from Paris, Brussels aud Rome.

LOS ANGELES COPS

 Dope at Conference

Los Angeles, June 3.--Chief Of Police August Nollmcr and his police captains recently instituted new form of conference when they held a round table discussion on crime, its causes, and means for its prevention with the inmates of the Lincoln Heights jail here.
 At a luncheon in the jail the prison CTS, at the invitation of the chief, told the arms of the law just what they thought of policemen, courts and law enforcement in general. Chief Nolimer said he learned much from the con- ference, including the following.
 The character of men arrested should be more closely investigated by the arrcsting officer.
 A court should be established to handle eagrants exclusively.
 A sympathetic officer should be ap- pointed to hear the pleas of these yagrants and those arrested on other petty charges.
 Some of the remarks by prisoners that led up to these conclusions were;

SPECIAL EVENT IN
 SWEDEN JULY 4TH
International Celebration NiN Take Place at That Time

Washington, D. c. June 3. - OI July 4, the league of postal nations, the Universal Postal Union, embrac- ing the earth, will hold its fiftieth an- niversary at Stockholm. Sweden.
 Tt is significant that the delegates of the nations of the earth gather for this celebration of postal peace on July 4, American Independence Day, because to the United States goes the honor of laying the foundation for the Universal Postal union," says bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquarters at Washington, D. C.
 This confederation of nations. at fifty years, is the oldest comprchen- siye organization of world states. It has reduced ;he worlds postage bill by billions, an1 increased the letters exchanged by millions. 1t has made neighbors Of Kalamazoo and Timbuk- tn and put sewing machines in Turk ish harems.
 When New Zealand Letter Cost S2,50
 The difference between S2.50 and . 2 cent postage stamp represents to the individual the most dramatic fea- ture of the Postal Unions accom- plishments. Ten years before the Postal Union was thought of. it cost sa.50 to send an ounce letter to New Zealand; today it costs cents.
 The blow to the high cost of mail ing illustrated by the United States New Zealand instance has been re- peated to a lesser degree with all for eign correspondence. Reduction of the cost of an ounce letter to England from 12 cents to cents. to France from 72 cents to cents, and to Brazil from 80 cents to cents, dates back to a conference called with the ap- propal of Abraham Lincoln. Agree ments of this conference were built into the postal convention signed at Berne, Switzerland, in 1873. Although the actual fifty year anniversary oc- cured last year, the Universal Postal Union will celebrate it at Stockholm this year, since 1924 is the year of it's regular meeting.
 A Heavy Steamer Mall
 Dispatch of 22,000 sacks Of mail from the New York foreign mail post office is not uncommon today. On one trip recently the Mauretania brought in 14,000 sacks.
 Last year the United States spent sf0,0o0.O0o to send 415.000,000 pieces of mail, excluding parcel post, abroad and received 362 2,o00,000 pieces It is a far cry from these thousands of sacks of maEl to Burns coffeehouso, post office for all Manhattan for een- tury. In this old tavern near the Bat tery letters ware stuck in a rack to be called for by the addresses. Even the King of Hediaz had 10 give mp re- gently the old custom of dumping mail in a pile where the pilgrims to Mecca, at their leisure, picked out letters sent for them.
 No man who sticks a ! cent stamp on letter 10 a missionary in Tibet can realize tho tribulation of his

grandfather sending a letter only to Canton. First his grandfather had to choose one of five ways of sending the letter. It might go by German mails through England to Brindisi, Italy, to the Orient, or through Germany to Brindisi. It might pass through Great Britain via Southampton or via Brindisi, or might go by the United States packet. Each way had a dif- fcrent charge, varying from 20 cents 10 6S cents. In our Grandfathers' time each sender had to pay the cost of transportation over and above postage: now nations representatives calculate transportation costs, cancel off like banks do with checks, and pay the charges,
 Countries Not in Union
 "The parts of the world not repre- sented in the Universal Postal Union agreements today are Afghanlstan, Arabia, Baluehistan, Johore and Trengganu in tho Malay States, Nal dive Islands. Northern and Southern Nigeria. Nyasaland, Northern Rhode- sia, Santa Cruz Islands, Pitcairn ls- lands, Russia, lraq and Tonga Islands.
 Through the offices of the Univer- sal Postal Union magazines have be- come international as well as national by virtue of the economy in cost to subscribers. Foreign mails take the National Geographic magazine 10 6i independent countries and to 92 de- pendeneies.

roles, Beery displayes wide inter-
pretation of the characters, playing
ruffianly military leader one min
