RADIO NEWS NOTES

The hours sem long from the .imc that q radio station is heard and d vcrifcation stamp, as proof of reception. IS received. A fan in Denver Colorado, recently sent a letter to station WBZ in Springfield. Massachusetts, by air mall, with a request that a verifcation stamp be sent to him by return air mail.
 The Ekko company, which origin atcd the stamp idea, report that over @60 stations are now supplied with stamps, and that a few Of the large stations who do not have stamps are verifying reception and forwarding the letters to the Ekko company who send the stamps dl- rect to the listeners. This list in- cludes 80 per cent Of the stations that are heard regularly and are re- ceived by the greatest number Of fans. They also state that new stations are being supplied win stamps at the rate of three or four a day.
 Stations report that the number of requests that come in for stamps iS practically doubled every month, and as each request for a stamp is from d new solicitor, it indicates that the fad is rapidly spreading and bids fair to become ar integral par. of radio broadcasting

THE CASUALTIES co ON.

As the last gun was fired on the
western front on that morning in
November of 1918, the world put
from it the memory of the night
mare of war. Men hoped and
thought, in the delirium of that hour
of release, that the toll had been
taken, the debt paid-and turned to
their routine tasks. In their hurry
to do so, they overlooked one
significant thing, the consequences
of the war branded deep into the
very vitals of society.
The dread casualty lists of the war
days, it is true, disappeared shortly
from the front pages of the news
papers. But the toll had not been
taken. The debt is not yet all
paid-nor will be for many year
to come.
This very day fifteen more
veteran are dying because of their
service to their country. And to-
morrow will add its fifteen to the
grim and growing list, and the day
after tomorrow fifteen-and so on
for crowding succession of to-
morrows.
At the present time there are
$4,000 disabled veterans of the war
stretched upon beds of pain in
government hospitals. And with
every day that passes, the number is
| growing. Five hundred men are
borne in to take their places in this
comradeship of pain every week.
There are others, too, who are be-
ing added daily to the casualty list
of the war. They are the orphaned
and dependent children Of veterans.
There are 5000 of them now who are
not getting the attention and the
chance IN life their fathers would
have given them but for their service
to the country. 1t is estimated that
/ $4,000 of them will be in need of
help by 1882. Several hundred are
emergency cases. Hungry. dirty.
ragged, neglected, without home and
without school, something must be
done for them now.
The general public has an OBJ
portunity to DO its part for them and
for the disabled veterans by CON
tTlbuting to The American Legion,s
100000 endowment fund which is
now being raised throughout the
country.

No Limitation on
Highway Program
Wisconsin Supreme Courts Decision
Means That Highway Program
Can Go Forward.

Madison-That the state con-
stitutional forestry amendment
adopted by the people last
November places no limitation on the
highway program was the decision
of the Wisconsin Supreme Court
this morning.
Secretary of State Fred r. Zim-
norman refused to pay claim from
Ashland on the ground that the for
estry amendment limited highway
expenditure.
N. b. Dexter, financial secretary
of Northland College, owns farm
at Hayward, and the state highway
department planned the construc-
tiOn of highway across one cor
ner of his farm. Instead of accept
ting the states estimate of benefits
and damages to his property. he filed
a nominal claim of $25 The matter
was referred to Attorney General
Ekern, who advised the filing suit
by Dexter on this claim to test the
scope of the forestry amendment
and its possible limitations.
The supreme court in an order
today directs Zimmerman to pay the
claim. No memorandum Of the
reasoning was announced by the
court in its decision, but it was
stated that full decision would be
given out later
The decision of the court means
that the big highway program of
$4,000, 900 year can 20 forward
in Wisconsin without the forestry
limitation. The controversy arose
over the fact that the forestry
amendment was made a part Of the
state highway provision in the con
stitution. The highway provision
placed no limitation of expenditures
for that purpose.
Last fall forestry amendment
was adopted as a part of highway
section of the constitution There
was limitation in the forestry
proposal that would limit the
expenditures to about a million
dollars year
Secretary of State Zimmerman
contended that the two sections of
the constitution must be read to-
gether and that the limitation applied
to both highways and forestry. Had
this contention been sustained the
entire Wisconsin highway program
would have been nullified
A test case was started on the
claim Of Dexter Of Ashland. Attor-
ney General Herman L. Ekern con
tended in the supreme court that the
forestry amendment was not a linn
itation Walter Bender, of Mil
waukee, appearing as special counsel
for Mr. Zimmerman, claimed that
the forestry amendment was
limitation and that it had not been
properly adopted by the legislature
The announcement of the supreme
court today set aside the thinner
man contention and directs him to
audit the bills. 1t is big victory
for internal improvements in the
state.
