VICAR Programs Popular
With Vets Confined
to Sick Rooms.

Nights that once were filled with
the terrors Of restlessness have lost
their blackness for patients in Sta
ton Hospital, Fort Sam Houston.
Hours of sleeplessness and misery
have turned to hours Of keen enjoy
ment.
Life has been Frightened and hope
has been renewed in the hearts Of
sick men since installation Of the
master radio receiving station has
brought the songs and laughter of the
outside world into the rooms where
the army's unfortunates are housed
Nowhere, perhaps, in San Antonio
can be found such unbounded enthu-
siasm as that displayed by the men
confined in the hospital for the radio
concerts received since the hospital
set was placed in operation.
LIKE VICAR.
Conducted through the long rows
of sick wards by Mrs. Carol A. Damn
of the Red Cross workers. the report
er of The Light was greeted on every
hand with the enthusiastic praise OF
the patients for the radio set and the
excellent programs that have been re-
ceived from VICAR.
I'VE don't listen to anything else
while VICAR is on the air." more
than one patient volunteered.
The breckenridge High School glee
club and the Hawaiian Serenaders
recently won the hearts of their hos
pital audience.

tent said, II used TO go to sleep early
in the evening and spend great many

restless.
HELPS THEM TO SLEEP.
"Now ] listen over the radio until
they shut it off at IL o'clock and sleep
soundly the rest of the night.
LAST night 1 went to sleep with
the phones on my head"
Headsets have been run to every
bed in the hospital so those who do
not wish to listen in will not be dis
turbed.
Only one patient in the hospital
offered any objection to the radio.
II want to Sleep" he declared.
sect head set, Pop" came the re-
joinder from another man in the ward.
"and you will be worse than any of
u.s."
The radio set is being operated from
8 until IL o'clock each evening. Most
of the patients listen in throughout
the entire three hours.
SUPPLANTS GAMES.
So great has been the popularity
Of the radio that even card games,
long the main pastime of the patients,
have been discarded.
Inmates of one ward, under the
leadership of George X. Glover, one
of the patients, drew up resolutions
thanking Lieutenant Colonel Wallace
Dewitt. hospital commander; Major
John w. Sherwood, executive officer,
and others VINO had a part in secur-
ing and installing the radio equip
ment.
The hospital radio equipment was
secured through the courtesy Of Alamo
Post, American Legion, and the Amer
lean Legion Weekly from the Sun
Roxy Radio Fund that is being ad-
ministered by the Legion paper.

The fund was raised mainly through
the efforts Of S. l.. Rothafel, better

able governing body ana conducts u
self in line with the demands Of the
New York Stock Exchange.
The public usually lose money on
stocks in one or two ways; first,
through buying worthless stuff hawked
by takers or advertised through un-
scrupulous mediums; second, through
the failure Of brokers.
The New York Stock Exchange
has greatly increased In price, where
as consolidated seats have not.
This week the Investment Bankers
Association have taken up the perplex,
ing question Of how best to stop the
foisting Of worthless stocks upon Gull
lible buyers. Federal regulation Is
opposed. but these reputable invest
ment bankers have decided to dc
everything within their power to have
sharp-toothed laws passed and en-
forced in every state to prevent the
public offering of dishonest securities
and to bring about Jail sentences fol
fake promoters and peddlers.
Assuredly there is urgent need To-
moving heaven and earth to checl
stock swindles and also failures among
members of stock exchanges.
The American prblic's attitude to
wards "Wall Street" constitutes an un'
pleasant not to say dangerous fea
ture Of the existing order in this coun
try. Throughout the country the term
"wall Street" is used to denote bis
business, high finance, banking. rail
road finance and everything shady in
the way of fleeing people through
fake stocks and brokerage failures
both honest and dishonest.
New York stock exchange author
tiles have already accomplished much
and aim to accomplish more.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
State Legislatures will cooperate cor
daily with the Investment Bankers
Association in passing and enforcing
rigorous legislation governing the is
suance of securities.
incidentally, every fake promoter
and every broker who causes losses
to customers through dishonest prac'
tees should be committed to the peni'
tertiary for a long term of years
Such thieving is infinitely mischiev'
GUS and reprehensibio.

Governor Towner, of Hawaii, says
that complaints show the weakness
of their claim when they do not seek
redress in the courts, rather than
politically, referring to jobbery in
politics. Sam Gompers tried for
forty years to prove to the courts
that human being was not dross
or base metal, and the courts ruled
that human being -worker-was a
chattel. Sam finally convinced the
court that he was right, but he pass
ed to his eternal rest while trying to
prove man was not a chattel. The
courts may be long on man-made law,
but they are woefully lacking on what
constitutes justice.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By l. C. McCUMBER

With some 48 states to take vote
on the child labor amendment to the
national constitution, it is interesting
to note that the passage of this hu-
support of the anti-saloon spongers.
In all the history of that famous or
Infamous aggregation we wrack our
brain to search out one law for the
betterment of the lowly and down
trodden that the hypocrites ever got
behind of and supported Possibly
they did, after they saw the hand
writing on the wall.
-O
The anti-saloon league came north
with all the so-called negro states be-
ing prohibition, and swamped the
northern states with a handicap that
has given the blacklegs and crooks in
the prohibition movement much easy
money. In the child labor amendment
there is only one of the so-called
southern states that has ratified the
proposed change. Not one of the sal
ary spongers has called upon the
legislature to ratify under peril of
losing their seats in the next cleo
ton. Why? Well, Susie, it may be
that flirting with pennies, nickels and
the lives of children is close to the
pocketbook of some of the so-called
lawyers, preachers and goody-goody
boys who look for the applejack jug
when they call upon the country par
ishioner.

General Cordonnier, Frenchman,
notes that war will break out within
two years from now, according to
British novelist. A minister Of a
certain sect predicts that the world
will come to an end in March, 1925.
1t would be a mighty fine thing if the
dog catcher would get busy and round
up a few of these stray prognosticat-
ors. With world court getting it's
stride and the Bible with US, the min
lister quite evidently skipped few
pages before he started out to get
little easy money. We have it that
this is "world without end" But
the preacher got his name in the daily
press, and that compensates.
