SONG HITS

SIGNALS
q, s, to Probe ''Wildcat" Sta
tons and Malicious Inter-
ference With Ether
Bv ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH.

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.
Radio-the most popular play
thing of the age-has been divert
ed to illegitimate uses by boot
leggers, smugglers, and other GRIM
inals in many parts of the United
States.
A number Of instances came to
light today through activities OF
radio inspectors of the Depart
ment of Commerce, who pledged
their cooperation to the Depart
ment of Justice and the prohibition
unit in Investigations looking to
possible prosecution.
''WiId Cat Stations.
Among the complaints received by
the Department of Commerce are
those from Chicago, New York, Flor
ida and Seattle. A Chicago wild
cat station is said to have used Ger.
tain popular songs as code to warn
LIQUOR smugglers on the Great Lakes
of the presence of customs agents.
Several Atlantic seaboard stations,
using both code and musical pro-
grams, have furnished information
to smuggIers of aliens, narcotics and
liquors, according to officials.
Inspectors pointed out that such IL
licit uses of radio do not violate radio
laws. il the station is properly
Iicensesed, but they expressed the
opinion that the Department of jus
tice could take action under the
statutes.
Causing COngested Ether.
The Department of Commerce has
launched a. campaign to rid the air
Of broadcasting from unlicensed sta
lions, which operating on various
wave lengths are reputed to be adding
considerably to the already congested
ether conditions.
One operator has been fined al
ready for ''broadcasting with malici-
Gus intent" Investigation disclosed
that he opened broadcasting sta.
tion for the exclusive purpose OF
interfering with another broadcaster
against whom he had a grudge.
heavy fine and imprisonment is
provided for malicious broadcasting
with intent to. create interference
Seek Funds for Probe.
Under a $125,o00 appropriation
which the Department Of Commerce
hopes to obtain for a general in
vestigation of radio conditions, field
equipment on trucks, Will be placed
in each of the nine radio districts
20 aid in tracing down the lliegltl'
mate broadcasters.
This investigation also will seek
to determine the sources OF leaks
from power stations and other
nan-made interference which Is
causing listeners considerable an
noyance. The department has
under study the deviation from
assigned wave lengths OF many
stations. another serious source OF
interference.

KEEP SHIPPING CATTLE
OFF GRASS IL WARNING

]. S. Montgomery, manager of
the Central Cooperative Com
mission association, has an article
in the current issue of the Coop
perative Shipper which the Farm
Bureau believes is of such timely
value to the farmers as to merit
reproduction in every community
of the state, hence submits the
following excerpts from Mr..
Montgomery's warning:
AT this season of the year far
mers often make a serious mis-
take by allowing cattle which
they intend to market in short
time to get out on to the green
feed. For the next month or six
weeks the packers discriminate
severely against cattle which
show a grassy appearance as COM
pared with cattle which appear
to be strictly dryfed. This APP
plies not only to cattle which are
pretty well fleshed, but also to
Gamers and cutters as well. Far
mers should keep in mind, there
ore, that the cattle which they in
tend to market during the next
sixty days should be kept off
from grass entirely so as to avoid
the grassy appearance, as this
will often make as much as 75c
to 81 per cwt. difference in the
price.
Shipping managers who have
been coming to the market for
a number of seasons and have
had a chance to observe this con-
dition know that there is always
a serious discrimination against
the grassy cattle. Every ship
ping association should take pains
to caution its patrons on this. 1t
will save the local manager much
trouble in explaining the differ
ence in price and will also save
the commission man who has to
sell these cattle a lot of trouble
and will mean money in the peck
cts of the cattle owners"

HONOLULU, May 16.-Fath-
er Peter Henry d'Orgeval, a
French priest who served as a

RELIGIOUS CULT
TO USE ADDING

Founder of Liberty Church
Seeks to End Mysticism
in Religion
BY MICHAEL F. DACEY
international News Service.

d e NVER, May 16.-America-
especially Western America-the
breeding ground of so many strange
cults, has produced something
brand new in religion.
In the past the myrid unorthodox
deviations have been saturated with
mysticism. Appeals to emotion and
passion have been the lodestone
whereby the discontented and un-
settled were lured to the new
faiths.
But this brand d-new religion has
gone to the extreme in the opposite
direction.
The Liberty Church. founded by
Frank H. Rice. of Denver-now
Bishop Rice-and incorporated un-
der the laws of Colorado, is based.
according to the bishop. upon sci
entific fact and cold reason"
Explains Greed.
The articles of religion as set
forth in the incorporation are:
ITO do good.
ITO learn how to live"
ITO seek the truth"
''To practice the Golden Rule"
ITO act according to common
sense"
ITO strive to be thrifty, industri-
Gus, saving and constructively en-
ployed.
ITO nationally and intelligently
attempt to be healthy, happy, sue
cessfuI and assist others to the
same"
Divine truth is scientific and
perceived through cold reason -
Bishop Rice told International
News Service.
This is our God" he declared,
pointing to a queer emblem, chiefly
q simple cross with the Arabic
numerals running up and down and
across.
'The elements of the multiplied
tion table, which, as we see it in
our present stage of enlightenment.
II the only absolute truth which we
can use as a starting point to seek
out the facts of existence" Bishop
Rice declared, and added that he
and his followers would use adding
machines in their efforts to get at
the real truth as revealed by the
figures of the Liberty Church 8
cross.
Bishop Rice said about twenty

In his office at the Liberty

closed a score of adding machines,
precisely ranged on long sheir'
spick and span and shining, to be
used as prayer wheels"
I'VE grow little by little, slowly
laboriously, naturally he said.
I'VE want to teach our converts
first of all the unrivaled value OF
exactlness, Of scientificness. This
is a drill, a kindergarten business
course for the soul. When you
pray on an adding machine nothing
but cold truth can result. Thus at
one fell swoop is an end made to
hate, to passion, to envy, and
Malice and egoism."

WILL DEMONSTRATE GRAPE
SPRAYING METHODS In KENT
Vineyard OF Rev. Smith, Near WyO-

In view of the increasing interest
being taken by many commercial
grape. growers in Kent County in the
use of the dust treatment in place
of the liquid Bordeaux sprays for
the control of black rot, demon
stration of the comparison of these
two methods of disease control will
be conducted in the vineyard of DR..
Alfred Smith near Wyoming this
coming season. This project will

the Department of Plant Pathology
of the University of Delaware, and
County Agent Russell E. Wilson,
who will carry on spraying dem
onstration this year in the vineyard
of Ralph Spruance near Smyrna.
The demonstration in the Spruance
vineyard is similar to the one con-
Quoted last year in the vineyard of
N. W. Taylor near Lebanon, where
the Bordeaux spray was applied at
different stages of growth of the
wires to show the proper time to
spray for the successful control of
the black rot disease.
In the vineyard of DR.. Smith how

dust and liquid treatments, and the
dates of applications will be in ac-
