Tribute To
Al Ringing In
Women S Club

At a meeting of the Catholic
Women's club, Wednesday eve
ming, Mrs. T. Mcmahon gave a
paper tracing the history Of the
theatre up to the present time,
then bringing out the salient
points on THE Business of the
Theatre"
She said in part: In our larger
cities we have, what are called
Educational Theatres" for child
rem and young people, One, in
New York, organized in 1909, with
Mark Twain as president of its
board of directors, is utilizing the
elemental powers of dramatic i'm
pulse in young people for the re-
finement of their imagination, and
the up building of character. This
theatre is helping to create the
first requisite of an enlightened
theatre an enlightened audience.
Since the dramatic instinct is very
general, through the theatre At
can be put into the hearts and
minds Of children and adults, all
sorts of noble and influential
thoughts.
Theatres have a colossal, nation
al influence in forming the taste,
the moral will and the mental ca
pacity of our people. They have
means of appeal in imagination,
passion and delight, far greater
than colleges.
In our own theatre here we have
no cause for worry, for our pres
ent manager seeks only the best
of performances. 1t seems but
right that l should pay tribute,
here to our deceased benefactorr
AL Ringing, who made it possible
for the theatre business to be car
lied on as it is here. Americas
Prettiest Playhouse" shows the fin
est of scenic effects, the best Of
tightening system and with her
beauty and granduer opens her
doors to rich and poor alike.
Little Virginia Vclk also enter
tanned the club with a song and re-
citation.

g y 49, Special
a. &. GIN, Sept. 30.--German re-
u 3i{y for the great war must
L Ia ked upon her; the coming
E IN security conference can
~ gdify the Versailles treaty,
s. Is Ter the judgment Of the past.
4 W II Britain and France have
s. Ibis notification to Germany, in
" MINING to that country's note of
(. ptance to the conference for
ST. ity pact which will open in
h. M rno, Switzerland, Oct s.
Replies Made Public
s, The German note accepting the
lied invitation and the replies
tom London and Paris we're made
lblic here Tuesday night.
sx Germany, according to her note OF
eceptance, entirely shares the al
es' desire not to protract negotia-
7@ Ions for the pact, and also trusts
n Tic final settlement of the prob
ems will be expedited by the meet
ing"
4 However, simultaneously with the
delivery Of the note Saturday in all
the allied capitals, the German am
bassadors made verbal declarations,
denying that Germany was solely re-
ebonsible for the war, inquiring as
Aa,to Germany's status with regard to
I'll he League of Nations, and asking
when the Cologne zone would be
evacuated.
Britain Satisfied
The British reply notes with salts
faction that Germany has accepted
without reservations and declares
that the verbal declarations have no
relation to the security pact. With
regard to German responsibility for
the war, it is the British attitude
that this has been demonstrated by
the need of the forthcoming confer
ence.
>. "The question of Germany's re-
sponsibility for the war the note
says, sis prefaced by the pact and
the government Is at loss to know
why Germany raises the question at
this particular moment. The govern
rnent is obliged to observe that nego-
tiations for a security pact cannot
modify the Versailles treaty nor
salter Brtain's judgment Of the past"
French Reply
With respect to Germany's en-
trance into the league, Britain sim
sply notes with satisfaction that Ger
amany raises no objection to this con-
adition of any mutual pact. Germany
is advised that the evacuation Of
Cologne depends solely on her full
sfillment Of disarmament obligations.
AThe French has replied similarly,
eeign Minister BRAND informing
E German ambassador that his
srbal observations should not be
Considered as conditions or reserva-
ions preliminary to the conference.

RECEIVER WORKS WHILE

JACKSON, Cal, Feb. 24.-The rec ord for underground reception was attained here when receiving set brought in station KGO at Oakland, while 4,2OO0 feet below the earth's surface.
 The set was taken into the Kenne- dy gold mine here and a loop was set up. It was 42 degrees at the sur face and 90 where the set was To- cated. Atmospheric conditions there fore were considerably annoying, yet the set brought in signals from KGO so that they could be easily read on earphones.
 This test was made following de- termination on the part of authori- ties to employ radio as safety de- vice for miners.
 Only a few hundred yards from the Kennedy mine, where this expert ment was made is the Argonaut mine, where forty-seven miners lost their lives in an explosion in Aug ust, 1922 Since this accident, in vestigators have been trying to find a device that would keep entombed
