Experts Partially Disprove

CHICAGO, January 22.-The theory
that the loss or absorption of radio
signal strength in the daytime is
caused by ionization Of the air by
the suns rays has been partly dis
proved by recent experiments at the
Chicago Radio Laboratory, +. F. Nc

While heretofore it has been found
that radio waves carry about 10

low waves have indicated the con-
trary to be true, the statement said.
With the engineers working 20 me-
ters, it has been found that uninter-
rupted communication can be carried
on with the Atlantic Coast in the
daytime but at night such signals
totally fade away.
This phenomenon, just the reverse
of the generally accepted theory. has

der his direction, a complete broad

here to Escanaba, which is in the
path of the total eclipse. During the
eclipse, radio messages will be sent
out from this station and listeners
in will be asked to send in thousands
of messages describing the receptiv-
ity during the period of fading light.

FOLLIES GIRL TESTIFIES.
Says She Paid $3.50 to Stop Story

NEW YORK, January 22.-Helen
Lee Worthing of the Ziegfeld Follies
testified yesterday in the trial of Ste

Brevities, and three of his advertis-
ing solicitors, on a charge of using
the mails to defraud, that she had
paid the publication $3.50 to stop arti-
cles which appeared in the magazine
after she had refused to see one of its
solicitors.

STRASBOURG, France, January
22.-The use of wireless as a means
of "cribbing" by young Stras-

DECLARES COLORED
TENANTS GOUGED
Pastor Tells Senator Ball of
rs to rs Per Cent Rent
Raises.

Complaining that the rents paid by
the colored population in Washington
have been raised in many instances
from 20 per cent to 75 per cent and
of other improper rent conditions
burden some of the colored citizens
Rev. J. Milton Waldron pastor of the
Shiloh Baptist Institutional Church
and president of the Alley Improve
ment Association, has directed a let
ter to Senator Ball informing him OF
these conditions.
Rev. Mr.. Waldron, who appeared on
the side of the tenants at a recent
hearing, testified in regard to the
rent conditions in the alleys. In his
letter to the Senator he states that
he does not want the impression felt
that rental conditions are bad only
in the alleys.
His letter states that he has a con-
gregation of approximately 1,600 and
that he has received from his people
many complaints of increases in
rents ranging from 25 per cent to
rs per cent, with the alternative OF
moving out. Rev. Mr. NNaldron states
that he refrains from mentioning
names because the tenants fear that
publication will initiate against
them.
This fear Rev. Waldron declares is
the reason why there has been no
vigorous protest from the colored
people.
Points to Restrictions.
He points out that his people are
restricted to certain sections of the
city and to inferior houses, for which
a charge of 10 to % per cent more
is charged chan to white people oc-
Cupying similAr houses
During the last two or three
months many complaints have been
received of the increase in room
rents. which increases are brought
about by the increase in rent paid
by the owner of the house, he says.
The letter states that conditions
were always oppressive on the color
ed people before the Rent Commits
sion, and that even during the func-
tioning of the Rent Commission the
colored people suffered more than
other classes.
Rev. Waldron tells Senator Ball
that if the people of the District
could make the law themselves con-
ditions would be remedied. but until
that time Congress should take
action.

Claims Limit July Z.

The Veterans Bureau and the AM
erican Legion are urging men who
have disabilities traceable to world
war service to s'get under the wire at
once" with their claims. Under the
terms of the Reed-J ohnson law the
time limit is June Z, 1925.
Section 206 of the World War Vet
Grams act requires that definite disa-
bility must be shown to nave exist
ed within one year from date OF dis
charge, except in the cases of those
suffering with a ten per cent degree
of ro-psychiatric disease, active
tuberculosis, paralysis agitans, ence-
phalitis lethargica, or alnoehid dys-
EMERY which were shown previous
to January 1, 1925. Ii the army rec
ord itself shows that the disabilities
for which compensation we're claimed
actually existed in the service, then
the section does not limit the time in
which the claimant may prove the
service origin or aggravation of his
disability.
Where the claimant now has disa-
bility or has had a disability which
was not shown on the army records,
he must submit complete proof of
service origin or aggravation on or be-
fore June Z, 1925, which is one year
from date of the passage of the
Reed-J ohnson bill. Under the pro-
visions of the law, no affidavit evil
dence tending to show service origin
or aggravation can be accepted by the
Veterans Bureau. Thus the affida-
Wit evidence must reach the Bureau be-
fore June Z, 1925.

Those Times and These.

The exchanges which come to the
editors desk bring much of interest.
They reflect public opinion-they
portray human interest. Many OF
them carry news items of a genera
ton or two ago, and comparison of
the facts related therein mark, in a
striking manner, the progress of
years. Some of the papers of Min
nesota have reached an old age, three
score years and ten and record from
their own columns history when it
was still news.
For instance, we pick up a paper
from one of the older communities in
southern Minnesota and mark the
contrasts of rs of As years ago today.
We read, one of the first items:

pany was holding forth al tie opera

was finally completed last year at q
cost of $1,854,377.
The building program of Mime
apolis involved an expenditure of 3d.
4o2, 107 for seven new buildings and
II additions to old buildings. The
new buildings include The Michael
bowling School for Crippled Children
which was completed at a cost of
$214,089, the Jefferson, Junior high
school at $759,884, and the John
junior-senior high school at $685. 1884
In St. Paul the building schedule
included nine elementary schools and
16 engagements of existing build
ings, also two new higl schools,
making 81 new building projects COM
pleted in 1924 at an expenditure of
$2,771, 107. The largest - of these
schools, said Mr. C.hallman, were the
new Washington high school, erected
for 1888, 156 and the new Hamline
Junior high school which cost $454,-
494.
The total number of building pro-
jects consumated during the I.ast
years in cities and villages was 81, of
which As were confined to the Twin
Cities. In rural districts, the inspec-
tor reported, lis schoolhouses of one
two and three rooms were construc-
ted at cost of $688,99S.
Moderate activity is indicated in
the outlook for 1925, said Mr.. Chall-
man. Construction of new buildings
is under way in ID cities and villages
and 80 rural districts. Five new
school buildings are now ir the proc
ess of construction in St. Paul, four
in Minneapolis, two in Duluth, two
in Hibbing, and one each in the fol-
lowing places: Brookstoa, Dover,

Of States Schools

Minnesota's public school buildings,
including everything from the modest
one-room rural schools to the preten-
tious new Hibbing high scnool erect
ed at an Official expenditure of $4,-
3O4.44O, are valued at S12S,O00,00O,
it is shown in figures compiled by
Samuel A. Challman, state inspector
of school buildings.
This total, according to Mr.. Chall-
man, represents more than triple the
appraised value of the buildings a
few years ago when the system was
appraised at SAL 100000. Mr.. Chal-
man explained that the actual amount
of money invested in new buildings
since that time is virtually $70,000,-
900. The increased value of the
buildings amounting to about $780,
100000, he said, is attributable to
the increased cost of replacement
based on present costs o. construc-
ton.
Last year was a record one with
the total expenditure reported being
S16,412,192, said the inspector. He
said this showing was accounted for
by the fact that numoe-' of the
largest buildings had been under con-
struction for several years and the
reports as to cost were not entered
until the buildings had been complet-
ed.
Among these buildings, lie said, is
the new Hibbing high school which
was under construction for four
years, the total cost of which, with
furniture and educational equipment,

What has become of the opera
house? It used to be an institution
But today it has been torn down or
made into a store room for the store

the medicine show? That, too, was
an institution, regular and cheap.

the medicine show, both institutions
OF their day are gone.
Reading further we find that:
Sllas AVERY has added six new
stalls to the Eureka Livery Stable.
Another thing gone, the livery
stable. Most of you remember it,
1t was famed for at least one excep-
tlonal team of horses. The proprietor
was an old timer and it was usually
easy to go into a town and pick out
the livery stable owner from among
the citizenry. The old livery stable
always has big wide doors and in the
summer time at least six men stand
ing or sitting and talking and all of
them chewing tobacco. To be able
to chew tobacco profuseiy was the
1lrst requirement to membership in
the livery stable club. And the
horses? They have all gene. Back
to the farm with them. That is where
they belong. They are not needed in
this automotive age.
We also notice that the town:

considered a great step when a COM
munlty had the privilege to say
whether it should have saloons or
not. They were retained for a few
years and finally the dry overhauled

two. Then perhaps the vets would
win. but finally the drys would ad-

would retire from business with
hopes shattered, and those who want.

the next town. Then came county
option and finally the state took
hand and then, you all know about it,
the 18th amendment came. The sa-
loon persisted miserably and a great
deal OF misery persisted with it.
Almost striking were the economic
conditions of the older times. Prices
are listed as follow:
Wheat, 5O-53 cents; oats. II cents:
corn, 25 cents; hogs, $500: cattle,
