rules did not apply to inherently
fraudulent business, such as those
violating the Blue Sky Law"

WARNINGS
TO.SH|PS
Department of Commerce Will
Install AT on All Coasts
and Great Lakes
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
With a view to reducing navl-
CATION perils along the American
coasts and on the Great Lakes
the Department of Commerce to-
day began installation of radio
fog beacons in all important
lighthouses.
After an extensive test the
new radio beacons, whose signals
penetrate fogs, were given the
official approval of Secretary of
Commerce Hoover and their in
stallation ordered.
Warns of Danger.
Forty-seven lighthouses on the
lakes and the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts will be equipped with this
device, which will keep vessels
within a hundred miles of the
coasts informed of danger points,
regardless of the weather.
Millions of dollars in property
damage to navigation and thou
sands of lives can be saved by the
radio fog beacon, in the opinion OF
department officials.
It was pointed out on the Pa
cific coast alone more than $780,,
900, 900 property damage had been
caused and hundreds of lives lost
as the result Of maritime accidents
due to fog.
Two engineers from the Govern
ment lighthouse service went TO
Detroit today. where the first
beacon on the lakes will be in
stalled on the Huron lightshfp at
the entrance to the st. Clair river.
Six other lakes light-stations will
be equipped with the device inn
mediately. Installations will be
made at other lighthouses on the
Pacific and Atlantic during the
summer.

THE lighthouse service, is for
able to furnish practicable
means by which a navigator may
obtain accurate bearings on invis-
ible objects, through the new radio
fog beacon. 1t enables vessels to
locate each other IN the fog, when
approaching or in need Of assist
ance."
The beacon works automatically,
broadcsating signal at regular in
tervals. Navigators need have no
knowledge of radio to obtain bear
ings from the fog signal station, it
was stated.
The first stations installed used
spark transmitting sets, but they
are being replaced with tube sets

radio stations. The stations will
operate on 1,000-meter wave
length.

nection with the Presidency. The
crying need, we are told, is for g
strong mar to improve the morale,
wipe out petty differences and unite
on a common program and not me-

campaign.
The Debt Commission
The average American citizen
does not attach much significance
to the negotiations which started
here this week. The discussions of
the Belgian Debt Commission with
the American World War Debt
Commission are usually regarded as
Gust another foreign affair."" Few
heed the effect of adjustments on
American economic conditions.
Aside from the political factors,
there are certain matters of senti-
ment in these conferences. In this
connection, the question is generally
asked, as it officially justifable for
an ally, like the United States, to
charge her Allies for shells and sup
plies sent to the war front to be
used by Allied soldiers before our
forces arrived, when there is no
question of charging for the SER
vices of the Americans who came
later?v The average Senator's
mail covers a multitude of answers
to the problem These are most
sentimental though a considerable
number want the subject consider
ed solely as a business issue.
The presence of these distinguish
ed foreigners at the Treasury de-
partment and at social functions in
Washington r~evives the question,
with endless variations. With the
British, French, Belgian and other
debts, the whole situation may be
summed up as follows care these
debts technically valid international
obligations to be settled by econom-
&c adjustment or are they exception
transactions to be- waived by call
.ng them something else?" 1t is
said that the Administration expects
hat settlements even in small
amounts is essential in order to re-
ieve the taxpayers of burdens i'm
posed by the war. The personnel

.ates that little time will be lost in
he deliberations. Senator Smoot,

theirs are well-known for their abil-
ty to manage affairs with an eye

Who Will Succeed
Bryan as Party Sage?

Washington, August 11.-Thougf
political affairs T at low ebb at
the nations capital these days, the
topic heard at golf clubs and in
government offices is "Who is the
real leader of the Democratic par
tyr" Ordinarily, the subject of
party leadership would not provoke
much interest so early in the sea-
son. The passing of William Jen-
nings Bryan, who was unquestion-
ably a figure in party councils, has
forced the matter to the fore.
Interviews with a number OF Sen
ators. Congressman and other prom
inent Democrats shows that nobody
is willing to reveal, with any degree
of certainty at this time, the identi-
ty of the individual who will be
summoned to lead the Democratic
hosts. 1t is interesting, from a non
partisan standpoint, to note the
wide differences of opinion and the
relatively few candidates stamped
as suitable material"
Underwood Stands High
First, the retirement of Oscar
Underwood as a Senator from Ala
bama, arouses curiosity as to his ul-
innate course. He refused to run
again for office because of differ
ences with party leaders in his
state. Now the senior Senator
from Alabama rates pretty high
with conservative folks and is re-
spected for his fair play by other
political faiths. His term will ex-
pire in 1926. Though he failed for
the nomination last year, his friends
feel that he is still a logical mar for
the Presidency.
In the Northern and Middle West
states, it is reported that sentiment
for Governor Smith is strong. Some
say he is the natural leader of the
party because Of his achievements
in the Empire state. Privately,
those who keep their hand on the
pulse of the voting public will tell
you that religious and prohibition
issues WOulu ulSqudli1y MI OAAi0
Notwithstanding his other qualifica-
tions. Those are the chief topics
when this man is named.
Bailey of Texas
Just when everybody thought
that former Senator Joe Bailey of
Texas was permanently fixed in a
lucrative law business, comes the
word, under cover, of course, that
he would make good Presidential
They say that like Gov.
Smith, Bailey would fight hard for
he party if selected. Except for
participation in state campaigns, it
s said Mr.. Bailey has been keeping
lway from the arena There is a
tory told in Washington about the
ormer Senator to the effect that
Joe Bailey has argued and won I
more cases before the Supreme s
]ourt of the United States than any 8

nviable record and a factor that i
