on the 4o-mile trip which will take
them to the prison. In the same
car were five armed deputy sheriffs.
Heading the procession was Sheriff
Peter NJ. Hoffman. with a half dozen
other deputies in another closed car.
The deputies were armed with rifles
and shotguns. The third automobile
contained newspaper men.
Both boys played cards with their
Guards until a few minutes before II

papers, ordering them removed to the
penitentiary. had been received at
$50. A moment later Leopold arose
and dressed. He donned a green, sum
merry suit. a brown felt hat, white
shirt and bow tie. Loeb put on
grey. lightweight suit. the rest of
hi. attire being like that OF his com
panion.
Just before they were TO leave the
BOYS were handcuffed to two deputy

The 40-mile journey was expected
to be made In a little more than an
hour. The route which was to be
taken was not revealed TO any one in
the party and the chauffeur OF the
first car moved on at the direction
of Sheriff Hoffman. As they drew
out OF the yard Loeb and Leopold
drew farewell calls from scores OF
the inmates OF the Jail whose cells
bordered on the yard.

The present government is agrarian,
logical development in country
like Hungary, where practically all
the national wealth is represented by
the farms. 1t was natural that this
government should finally yield to
the pressure brought by the majority
'of its constituents. The league OF
nations loan commission has urged
a change, SO that the government has
decided to establish free trade in
farm products. This decision will
take effect during August, when t1e
wheat crop will be ready. At that
time the system of export licenses
will be abolished and there Will be no
export duty on farm products. COIN
cident with this change there viii be
revision of customs tariffs.
Hungarian producers are pleased at
the prospect of being relieved from
the burdenSome restrictions. Indeed,
they are somewhat anxious over the
condition of the wheat market. Dur
ing the days of economic unrest and
governmental restrictions they hav'
accumulated stores of grain, some
say 10000 metric tons. or $4,000 car
loads. This they have been holdiRe

Customs tariffs in the neighborin

Hungary has about s20,000,000

Radios Place in Modern Civiliza-
ton,

Radio as we know it today is
quickly assuming an ever-increasing
field of usefulness in our everyday
lives.
1t ministers to our educational
needs as well as to our desires for
messages from the pulpit, from the
stage, from the legislative chambers
of our governing bodies and from the
classrooms of our great universities.
1t serves the business executive,
the newspaper and the various gov
ernment agencies which are con-
stantly gathering news for our
benefit.
1t brings US all the news of the
world "hot off the bat"
Just consider the marvel of hear
ing the words uttered by a speaker
five hundred, one thousand or more
miles away even before his words
ave reached the rear of the hall in
which he is speaking.
1t has eliminated in no small de-
gree the dangers which have SO long
beset travellers in isolated territories
and on the broad expanse of the
oceans bosom.
1t has given the mariner not only
the aid so necessary in times of disA
tress, but has afforded him, through the
means of the radio compass, a means
of finding his exact location; a pro-
lection against the dangers which
beset the navigator who does not
know his exact position.

We no longer read reports of lost
vessels or great disasters as we
formerly did when vessels sank and
human life was wiped out without
a chance to summon aid.
