Amateur Radio Assists Tourists

, Milwaukee, Fis.. June 26-Fred w.
Catel, owner of radio station 9-DTK
of this city and prominent member
of the American Radio Relay League,
has effected a novel plan for getting
large amount of relay message traf-
f1c through his station. Working in
cooperation with local newspaper
he has arranged to take messages
from motor turists for transmission
to other parts of the country. The
newspaper provides message blanks
and distributes them in the motor
camp sites near Milwaukee. The
messages are gathered each day and
turned over to Catel, who puts them
on the air for other members of the
League engaged in relay traffic.
Tourists are sending ahead messages
of proposed destinations and they
also dispatch friendly messages home.
The early messages fled indicate
bona fide traffic with few of the
greetings by radio" variety among
them.

SOUTH'S VETERANS
! TO AID MOTHERS
Reunion Votes $4,000
Fund to Home for Needy
Confederate Women.
b. the Associated Press.

Dc tns ASSOCIATED Press.
DALLAS, Tex, May 22.-The feeble
mothers of the Confederacy are to be
given aid through the United Confed-
crate Veterans, who voted support for
$250,000 fund to sustain the Home
for Needy Confederate Women at
Richmond, Va, during their thirty
fifth reunion, closing here today. a
plea for the home by Mrs. Andrew
jackson Montague, wife of Representa-
tive Montague of Virginia, aroused the
veterans to one of the greatest out
bursts of enthusiasm of the conven-
ton.
I'VE now shelter 40 inmates, feeble
tired children of the Confederacy,
homeless, shelterless. driven from pill
lar to post and wanted nowhere
said Mrs. Montague.
Our fair Southland is dotted with
beautiful monuments TO our brave sol
diers, but this home is the sole express
sion Of our gratitude to our mothers
of the COS. and we feel that it will
carry to oncoming generations a truer
conception of our love and devotion
than any other form of monument
that could possibly be erected even
though its dome might reach to the
highest Heavens, and that the graft
tude or those rescued from want will
bring more intonations than any bell
OF brass could carry"
A resolution passed by the veterans
calls upon their comrades and friends
to contribute to the fund ito conse-
crate It forever to the women Of our
Southern Confederacy."
: Another provision for the women
or the Confederacy was a decision to
place on the executive board of the
southland Memorial Association
Confederate veteran from each South
ern State. The association plans to
build Southern college to memorial
iZe Southern women.
Miss Katherine Parkinson of War
renton, Va, was chosen the most
beautiful member of any sponsorial
staff of Sons of Confederate Veterans
in Dallas and presented with a silk
banner from the Texas Division, Sons
of Veterans.
The convention rejected almost
unanimously proposal to discontinue
the annual reunions and to hold de
partmental meetings instead. The
veterans declared their desire to hold
the general reunions as long as two
are left" They then selected Birming
ham. Ala, as the 1925 reunion city.
The veterans adopted a handsoff
policy with reference to the Stone
Mountain Memorial controversy, de-
feating a resolution asking for rep
resentation on the executive board of
the Memorial Association.
Gen. w. 3. Freeman of Richmond,
Va, commander of the Virginia Di-
vision, was unanimously elected COM
mander-inc chief TO succeed James
Thomas of Dublin, Ga. The latter
was named honorary commander-ln-
chief for life.
The annual parade, one of the ort.
standing events of the reunion. was
on today's program. This will virtual
ly close the reunion.

NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR
STATE POLITICAL BODY

The State Headquarters Of the Re-
publican Party of Wisconsin, at Isl
sI.ain Street, Oshkosh, Wis, are now
completed, and it is announced that
the campaign to Redeem Wisconsin"
from legislative experimentors, tax
tinkerers, regulators, supervisors and
inspectors is to be pushed with in
creased vigor.
Those who have visited the head
quarters pronounce them the best
that have ever housed a state polit-
ical activity, and that no one can
help but be impressed with the
splendid arrangement of the offices
and the complete absence of show or
extravaganza in the decorations and
furnishings. The headquarters in
every way typify Coolidge economy
and modesty.
The headquarters consist of a good
sized reception room which opens in
to the Chairman's Office, Secretary's
Office, Bureau Offices, Conference
Room and Assembly Hall. There is
also large work room for the corps
Of circularizing clerks. One of the
pleasing features of the headquarters
is the rest room and comfort station
for women. This is now being fur
nished by the women of Oshkosh
with suitable furnishings.
These fine headquarters have been
rendered to the Republican Execu-
tive Committee free Of rent until De-
cember 81, 1926 by the rank and file
of Oshkosh citizens. A number of
desks, chairs, tables, pictures, ETC.,
have also been contributed or loaned
for the use Of officers and clerks.
