STILL A CHANCE
TO SEE AIRSHIP
Dirigible Los Angeles Or
dered to Make Same
Trip Again.
TO FLY OVER KENOSHA
May Resume Flight from Lake
hurst Tomorrow Over
the Same Route.

Kenoshans who missed an oppor-
tunity to watch the United States navy
dirigible Los Angeles fly over this
city on it's recent abandoned flight
from Lakehurst to Minneapolis may
soon have another if present plans OF
the navy department are carried out
Dispatches were received in Kenosha
this afternoon which told of the or
ders which Secretary of the Navy
Curtis Wilbur had given to Captain
George w. Steele, commanding the dir
igible, ordering him to resume the
flight to Minnesota as soon as the
necessary repairs to the engines could
be completed at Lakehurst. While no
definite word has come out of Lake
hurst as to when the giant ship would
be ready to take to the air again, it is
believed by authoritative sources that
this may be begun on Wednesday and
that some time during tom orrow at
ternoon the ship would once more
leave it's hangar at Lakehurst bound
for the west, covering the same itln-
erary that was announced for its
earlier trip.
The Kenosha Evening News on Sun
day wired to the secretary of the
navy urging that return trip be
made as soon as possible so that the
preparations made by the millions OF
persons who anticipated watching the
airship sail over this section of the
country might yet be allowed the op-
portunity. 1t was pointed out that a
tremendous interest had been aroused
in the flight in Kenosha and through
which the dirigible was to have sail
ed, and that this interest demanded
satisfaction,
According to advices from Washing
ton, it should take two days to put
the balky engines into commission
again and the ship can then start on
its way if the weather is favorable,
Should the trip be started in the af-
ternoon it would mean that Kenoshans
would see the Los Angeles in the mid
die of the day. Pressure is being
brought to bear upon the navy de-
partment to get the ship to make an
early start - at sunrise, or before =
in order that it might make most of
its 33 hour trip in daylight. 1t was
pointed out also that it would take
% 1-2 hours of actual flying time to
cover the distance between Lakehurst
N. j., and Kenosha, and if this IS done
in the allotted time the airship will
sail over Kenosha in the early morn
ing. While this is not viewed with
an intense amount of encouraging en-
thusiasm in Kenosha, this city would
have to take it's place in the itinerary
and watch for the airship whenever
it would come.
Definite announcements are expect
ed to be made on Wednesday and al
that time it is possible that the exact
hour Of departure of the Los Angeles
will be made known. The Evening
News, through its regular editions
and through its bulletin service, will
keep the city posted on the movements
of the ship and will flash the exact
hour of it's arrival over Kenosha as
soon as this can be determined.

NO BROADCAST
FROM CONGRESS
Petty Talk Bars Any Idea
of Broadcasting Con-
gressiOnal Speeches.
CONGRESSMAN WARY

The American political practice of
saying much and meaning little is
what is keeping the people from hear
ing Congress by radio.
This is not an individual opinion,
but one proclaimed by many interest
ed both in politics and in radio, who
see little or no chance of having the
speeches of congressman broadcast to
the country.
England may get ahead of America
by installing broadcasting outfit in
Parliament But, through many sug-
gestions of this kind have been made
even on the floor of Congress, nothing
is done about it in this country.
The reason is the wariness of con-
gressmen to let the public know ex-
actly what is going on during their
sessions. They have the Congression-
al Record for this purpose, and that
is edited, revamped, cleared of all i'm
proprieties, for popular consumption.
No representative wants his consti-
tuents to hear him bantering petty
remarks that are so often heard on
the floor. Neither does a senator like
to have his public hear the readings of
old tones, irrelevant to the subject at
hand, just to block action on meas
ure.
"We broadcast political conven-
tions because we now know the people
are intensely interested in the meth
DDS of governmental procedure, as well
as in the men chosen to run for office,
SAYS Prof. J. H. Morecroft, noted ra-
dio authority, in the June issue of Ra-
dio Broadcast,
More Important.
"But we might well ask; what is
more important to know, who IS
chosen to run for Office or to know
what he does after he gets in?
"Assuredly the activities of Con-
gresS are of more Importance to
the average citizen than are the
proceedings of the national conven-
tons"
Morecroft therefore suggests that
the proceedings of Congress be
broadcast and that someone be
found who could impress Congress
with it's necessity.
General Dawes, he adds, appears
to be the best man to act on this.

Common Sense in
Jap Match Making

Tokyo.-G )-Japanese fancies, in
springtime, are very much like those
of other nationalities. Recently the
Women's Club in Atagocho, Shiba,
gave a party for 40 young bachelors
and an equal number of unattached
young women with view of arrang-
ing nuptial contracts. Each guest was
given "a paper which identified every
other member of the party. The girls
ages, stations in life, education and
other conditions were given in detail
The Identification of the men included
the amount of monthly income they
could produce to support family.
The fee for admittance to the party
was so sen, although no arrangement
was made to refund it in case the mat
ing plans went awry.

HAPPY LANG"
IS UNDER FIRE
District Attorney Tells Him
Dances on Pop Bottles
Must Stop.
CANNOT GET PERMIT
Henry Lang of Pikesville Is
PenaIized for One Month.
This Morning.

Dancing on pop bottles at Happy
Lang's must stop" This was the ul-
timatum issued this morning by I&s-
trict Attorney Lewis Powell, after
learning that a dance had taken place
at Happy" Henry Lang's place al
Pikesville last Saturday night at
which dancing was allowed provided
The guest bought a bottle of pop at
fifteen cents bottle.
Mr.. Powell and Mr.. Lang met this
morning in the Office of the county
clerk, where Lang was seeking dance
permit
"The permit will be denied" the
district attorney advised County
Clerk Iva Russell, "for the reason that
Mr.. Lang has broken the plles. He
must be penalized for a month.
To Lang he said, "You have lost
your permit for thirty days..
81 don't see what 1 have done,
cried Lang in an aggrieved tone. When
informed that the district attorney
had been told that he permitted dane
ing to people who bought pop, Lang
answered, 81 thought you said that
places where dancing was free did not
have to have a supervisor.
81 said nothing of the kind, re-
torted Mr.. Powell. 81 told you that
you couldn't charge anything, any
token or gift or money by which the
public is admitted. You cannot let
people dance 'on a toothpick', that is
in return for giving you toothpick
In this case you charged fifteen cents
for bottle of pop which entitled the
buyer to a dance. You have just tried
to get around the rules that's all'.
az sold the pop for ten cents bot
tie, and to the farmers for five cents
a bottle, said Lang, who seemed to be
raking his memory to think if any OF
the latter to whom he had given re
duced rates" had given him away.
Besides, went on the district at
torney, "I've been told that you plan
ned this thing thinking you would
get away with it. You said to some
one, AT last Pm going to bluff the
district attorney l want to tell you
that there's one person right here that
you can't bluff. l have several letters
from people telling of the conduct OF
your place. Now see that you have nc
dances for a month, or I'll have you
arrested.
Don't worry, said Lang, II won't
run any dances.
"I'll have the constable watch that
place., said Powell, "and If there Is
any more dancing on pop bottles, you
will be dancing over at the Willems
boarding house.
Two of the letters received from Mr.
Powell, which were duly signed by the
senders are given below:
81 was out to the Pikesville place
Saturday night to see what was going
ON, read the first letter, II hadn't
been sent, and l didn't go in, but the
partner whom l took with me went In
and bought a bottle of pop for fifteen
cents, which he had to do before he
could dance. Can they get by with
that dope?"
To-day, read the other letter, y
learned from a lady who attended the
dance at Pikesville Saturday night
that there was no supervisor. The
reason was that mo admission fee was
charged. | also learned that short
time ago when there was a dance su-
pervisor present everything passed"

Reduces Cost :
of Relief Work

Erivan, Russian Armenia.-( }
The radio is about to invade southern
Russia. The American Near East re-
lief will install wireless communities
tion between its orphanages and relief
stations. It's broadcasting equipment
will be of the simplest variety, as the
distances to be covered are in no case
more than 100 to $50 miles.
If experiment shows that communi-
cation is possible with the other Amer
lean relief stations in Palestine,
Syria, Greece and Persia, it is likely
that more powerful stations will be
built later. The chief reason for the
installation is economy, as it is calcu-
lated that the radio installation will
pay for itself within a year through
savings on telegraph and cable tolls.

old swimming hole.
Throughout the northern half of
