 Cuts Into the German

Berlin, Jan. 21.-The German ex- ports of aniline and aizarine dyes now total one third of the pre-war figures, owing to the United States and Great Britain becoming inde- pendent of the German dye manu- lecturers during the war.
 German exporters who before 1914 supplied 75 per cent of the worlds demand say they feel the American competition in China especially strong.

The Red Apple club at the same station had Its weekly meeting and presented round of singers, inter- spersed with numbers by the Book Cadillac hotel orchestra. Ailene Mack, blues singer, was one Of the outstanding features of the pro- gram.
 It doesn't seem possible that stock quotations and market reports could be interesting, but WIP in Philadel- phia held Us from time the broadcast of this usually unintcresting matter started until 1t was completed. The announcer apparently took his job lightly, an uncommon occurrence when market reports are being read, and he was aided by some unknown called George, who interrupted the proceedings al intervals with sepuchral cough. This unknown also supplied poppy comments on the various items which were enjoyed by the announcer 10 such an extent that he rclayed them to the radio au- dience.
 Did you ever hear WGY's an nouncer read stock and market re- ports? Sounds like somebody's last will and testament, and he reads with all the soIemnity in keeping with such an occasion.
 One thing that comes to our at tention, through the repeated re- marks on the subject by announccrs, is the sending of applause cards, or, as "George' at WlP says, Apple sauce cards" All stations appreciate , hearing from radio fans, and in this manner only, can they tell whether programs are satisfactory. Many fans think that these applause cards will not receive any attention, but most of the stations will send by re- turn mail collection of interesting data concerning the station. together with letter expressing appreciation of the applause card.

Last night was clear one on the air. There was little static and code was not particularly bothersome. An electric motor somewhere in the city was making terrific racket nearly all evening and fading was notice- able on several stations.

counsel, Atlee Pomerene and

Two indictments were covered by the
courts decision, one charging Fall with
receiving bribe of $4,000 to influence
his official action respecting certain
oil leases. and the other charging the
Dohenys with giving the brbe.
The appellate court held the act Of
congress taking the prosecution of the
oil cases out of the hands of the de
partment of justice meant only to de-
prive the attorney general of charge
and control" of the litigation and did
not interfere with the right of the spe-
cial council to make use of the assist
ance of district attorneys. The defense
had argued the presence in the grand
jury room of Oliver c. Pagan, spe-
cial assistant to the attorney general,
violated the sanctity of the proceed
ings and nIllified thei indictments. This
view was accepted in the lower courts.
There is pending also in the District
of Columbia supreme court indictments
returned against Fall, E. L. Doheny,
Sr., and Harry F. Sinclair, charging
conspiracy in connection with the nav
al oil leases. Argument was heard
last week on the validity of these in
dictments, which were returned after
the fight developed over the indct-
ments dealt with in today's decision.
Counsel for the defendants had not
decided today on their future course
but it was regarded as certain that the
case would be carried through the
higher courts.

as Rain Held OFF

The weather man was kind this year.
Last year weather conditions much
the same as are prevailing in the Val.
ley now brought despair to those who
staged the Valley Mil-Winter Fair at
Harlingen. The attendance was cut
down, the pageants and parades were
harmed, and the Fair races were run in
mud.
A repitition of the weather conditions
at the fair last year would have almost
apeiicu uisaster to the fair this year.
But the weather man was kindA The
Fair opened last Monday under clear
sky, and continued under a clear sky
throughout the week with the exception
Of light clouds Saturday.
A cool wind which blew up Thursday
night failed to check attendance, and
Friday and Saturday were two OF the big
days at the Fair.
The light clouds which gathered Sat
urday started showering down on the
Valley yesterday, and rain continued
last night, and today, while the 1926
Valley Fair is safely tucked away as the
greatest ever staged in history, and the
Weather Man can take just share OF
the credit.
Attendance at the fair broke records,
and it was declared by the officials III

testimony before the army court mar
tial trying Colonel William Mitchell as
result of his charges of incompetency
in management Of aviation.
Lieutenant Commander II. II. Frost,
naval strategist expert, testified that
in his opinion "an air invasion of the
United States by an Asiatic power is
impossible without, use by it of Russian
and Canadian territory.
Even with Russian and Canadian
assistance" he said, the invading
power would require a very superior
naval strength, at least 3 to ] over that
Of the United States.
We have no reason to be concerned
over the possibility of an air force at
tacking the United States across the
Pacific.

printed in both English and French,
relates an incident of the stealing of
a purse from Mrs. Jesse o. Wheeler,
former owner and publisher Of The
Brownsville Herald.
Mrs. Wheeler has since left Paris
for New York, and will probably go to
California and spend several months,
after which she expects to return to
Brownsville.
The article follows:
Americans still continue to lose
money in Paris; that is to say, in
ways which, even hazily, they cannot
account for.
The latest victim is Mrs. Jesse O.

Coolidge Promises Support
to Cooperative Marketing
Plans for Aid of Farmers

the government would directly or in
directly fix prices or engage in buy
ing and selling farm produce, the
president made this observation:
This would be a dangerous under
taking, and as the emergencies are
not so acute, it seems at present to
have lost most of its support. No
matter how it is disguised, the mo-
ment the government engages in buy
ing and selling, by that act it fixes
prices. Moreover, it would probably
destroy cooperative associations and
all other marketing machinery, for no
one can compete with the govern
ment.
Government control cannot be di-
vorced from political control.
Aiding Farm Finance
If the price fixing tariff revisions
do not seem to be helpful, there are
other proposals that do promise i'm

He sharply rebuked those who regarded
