MUD-SPATTERED DOG KEEPS
LONELY VIGIL AT HOSPITAL

Alone in the world apparently, yet
true unto death, fuzzy, wet and mud
stained ball of fur and flesh keeps
vigil at the emergency entrance of the
Robert b. Green hospital.
For three days this bit of canine
faithfulness has braved the elements,
scorned food and attempted friendship
waiting for the sound of its masters
voice.
Kind-hearted nurses, doctors and
hardy police officers at the hospital
have approached the poodle with kind
remarks. A growl is his only answer,
rejecting a broken heart, yet determ-
motion to take up with no other until

ENGLISH FLOCK
To PLEASURE
RESORT
BlackpooI Has Long Stretches

900 There

BLACKPOOL, Aug. 1O.-The
wakes have begun at Britain's
p"Coney Island" and one of the
country's most curious social insti-
tutions is now in full swing.
Blackpool is the pleasure city
of the north of England It has
enormous stretches Of golden sand
and contains more amusements, in
door and out. than all tho rest OF
Britain put together. Its dance pal
aces alone can accommodate co.
900 people. In normal times it's
population Is 100000, but for the
next five months it will hold just
quarter Of a million more.
But the prosperous, Woodworking
people of the north of England, al
though they ali spend their holidays
at BIackpool, do not do 1t in any
haphazard fashion. There is never
any overcrowding. Everything Is
arranged in the most systematized
fashion.
Hence the wakes" A wake"
is a pleasure week. Now there are
forty or fifty very prosperous
towns and cities in Lancashire and
Yorkshire, the two chief counties
Of the North Of England. Ninety
per cent of the inhabitants wish
to spend their vacations at Black
pool. Accordingly, hard headed race
that they are in those parts, they
arrange between themselves how
best to allocate the accommodation
that their favorite resort allows.
So, quite informally, the towns
band themselves in groups whose
total joy-makers will reach about

while that week is In progress the

life of the town-fnills, factories,
shops practically closes down.
These scientific holiday makers
go further than this in their or

about as hard as people can work.
On the fifty-second week they play
just as hard. And for this funds

OLD vELASQUEZ
FOUND IN
SPAIN
Painting That Disappeared tor
Centuries Concealed in
PoIiceman's Flat
Nv international News Service

BARCELONA, Aug. 10.-The dis
covery of a wonderful Velasquez
painting has been brought to light
here. The picture represents Christ
with Saint John and the Virgin
Mary.
The picture has a romantic his
tory. Many years ago it was the
property of a Canon at Toledo. He
came to a violent end and the
picture was inherited by his niece.
Falling on bad times, this lady SOLD
the painting to some antiquaries
In the "Rastro''-a sort of cheap
art market in Madrid.
The buyers had no idea Of it's
value and the painting was ex-
posed for some time in saloon
used by spectators in antiques,
until it was finally purchased oy
a police official, who took it to ms
fiat. Here it seems to have been
discovered by it's present owner,
Senior Pujol, who bought 1t for
1900 pesetas.
At that time the picture was IN
lamentable condition, being
smeared with size and tar-smoke,
probably to preserve it from the
attention of French soldiers during
the peninsular wars. Senior Pujol
has now successfully restored it -
something like it's original condi-
ton. and the many artists and
critics who have seen 1t agree it Is
a genuine Velasquez. Pujol states
that he has received an offer of
100000 pesetas for the picture.
1t is believed that the painting
belongs to the artists first epoch,
and was painted between 1903 and
1920.

further time-splitting agreements can
be arranged among the New York
stations. WIZ and WEAF are fix
lures on exclusive wave lengths.
WY already splits time with WOR at
Newark; WGBS shares its hours with
WAHG, at Richmond Hills, and WEBB
and WFBH divvy up on the low wave
bands WYNC, on 526 meters. and WIN,
on $50 meters, are at present on in
dividual wave lengths and keeping
on the air throughout most of the
day. Any suggestion that either of
them give away part of it's time
probably would be very distasteful.
Following his conferences with the
New York stations, 1t is quite prob
able that Judge Davis will make a
similar visit to Chicago, either this
month or in April. The Chicago
situation, although not quite as
bothersome as that in New York,
is nevertheless a problem, especially
in view of the plans being made for
a new class b station to be operated
by the Wrigley interests.
Conditions on the Pacific Coast, al
though they may require personal at
tention later on in the year, have
worked out fairly satisfactorily un-
der the new ALLEGATION plan.

SEES new YORK RADIO
SITUATION JAMMED
Commerce Department Solicitor to
Give the Broadcasting Medley
His Personal Attention.
By Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
Judge stephen B. Davis, solicitor OF
the Department of CONNER and
chief arbitrator in the radio world,
plans to give the broadcasting med
ley in New York City his personal
attention. He expects to go to New
York within a few days to confer
with the owners of all the metro
politan broadcasting stations and the
promoters of several of the proposed
new plants.
The New York situation admittedly
is the most troublesome in the coun-
try. Beginning in small way in
Newark, radio has advanced into the
heart of Manhattan and reared it's
towers in dozen or more spots on
and near Broadway. In addition to
the problems of heading off more
newcomers the Government wants to
find some way in which the new
McAlpin Hotel station, WMCA, can be
fitted into the class B scheme of
transmission. For the time being
WMCA is doing its best to keep on
the air and at the same time out of
the way of it's better established
rivals.
There is little possibility that any
