'ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener : In

Tomorrow afternoon station
WCAP will broadcast, as a special
feature Of Armistice Day, a Wood
row Wilson Memorial Service from
the chapel of the Washington
Cathedral, where the famous war
Presidents body is buried.
The ceremony will be simple.
Bishop Freeman will read the former
Presidents favorite texts and the
choir will sing some of his favorite
hymns.
WCAP's program last night
chiefly consisted of three very
beautiful musical programs by the
A and p Gypsies, the WEAE
Grand Opera Company and the
Opollo Chorus under the direction
Of Otto T. Simon. The voices in
each of the latter events were
particularly delightful to listen to,
even though in the case of the
opera, the listener failed to con-
centrate on the story.
One of the most practical sug-
gestions at Secretary Hoover's radio
conference yesterday was that made
by Norman Baker, Of station KTNT,
Muscatine, Iowa, that when a dozen
or so stations are hooked up to-
gether, broadcasting the same event,
a saving Of wave lengths could be
effected by making all the con-
nected stations use the same wave
length.
not receive much comment in the
open forum yesterday, it appears,
on the face of it, to be good
proposal which will have a fair
chance of getting through If the big
stations don't kill 1t.
Baker argued that with dozen
stations scattered all over the dial
broadcasting the same event, that
particular program enjoyed a prac-
kical monopoly of the air. He pointed
out the danger TO free speech that
might arise, in the future, from
such powerful hook-ups.

Of 100000 On
Autoist

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10
Establishing new high record
for verdicts in damage suits a
a jury of seven women and five
men in Camden circuit court
awarded 100000 to a Camden
woman and her husband.
This award was made to Mrs.
Elizabeth Noodle and her. hus-
band, George Noodle, a retired
battalion fire chief in Philadel-
phia and now fire marshal for
the Victor Talking Machine
Company.
The verdict was directed
against Warner M. Cooper,
lumber merchant at Woodbury.,
whose car struck and upset the
Noodle machine. Mr.. Cooper
did not dispute hitting the other
car. but contended that the
crash happened while he was
fighting a bee which had flown
into his sedan. The plea was q
variation of the "act Of God"
defense.
The case occupied the atten-
ton of Judge Donges and a jury
for two days and the verdict OF
the jury was reached after a de-
liberation of two hours. Mrs.
Noodle was awarded $45,O
for personal injuries and suffer
ing and her husband $4,000 for
the loss of her services and ex-
pense of medical and surgical
attention.

A New Sweet Potato.
From the Macon News.


A recent editorial in the Macon News on
the subject Of growing sweet potatoes IN
Georgia has attracted more than passing at
tention In this editorial reference was made
10 the Big Stem Jersey potato, which has
won its way to a commanding market in the
north and is particularly valuable crop.
One Of the outstanding farmers OF Georgia
is Mr. John NJ Spivey, of Treutlen county
who has particularly varied and interesting
exhibit at the Georgia State Exposition. We
have no desire to make nvidous distinctions
in calling attention to his exhibit, but at
least in one respect he is accomplishing some
thing which deserves to be better known
He is growing a type of sweet potato,
known as the Early Triumph, which promises
TO revolutionize that important crop when the
variety is better known Mr., Spivey has not
vet gone into the growing OF tobacco as a
money crop, as many OF his neighbors have
done This is not to say that he does not
look upon tobacco as an excellent money
crop He has simply turned his attention
more definitely to sweet potatoes and IS max
ing a name for himself all over the country.
Mr.. Spivey grows the Big Stem Jersey in
great abundance and ships them to the north
bv hundreds of bushels. They find ready
market because they are uniform IN size,
ship and keep we'll and are early. But he
does not regard it as a particularly palatable
potato.
On the other hand, he contends that the
Early Triumph,s one of the most delicious
sweet potatoes ever grown. 1t is surpassed
literally by none for home consumption. In
addition it is ten days earlier than the Jer-
sew Big Stem 1t is almost as uniform III
size From one acre he recently gathered
twenty-seven barrels of No. potatoes OF
this variety and there was only one barrel
of No. ?. In short unless few OF the tu-
bers are deliberately LETT in the field 1t is
not even worth while to turn the hogs INTO
the field after the crop is gathered.
These potatoes also keep as well as the
Big Stem Jersey and ship equally well. AS
substantial evidence of their excellence he
received fifty cents more per barrel for these,
in a recent shipment than for the Big Stem
Jersey The prices incidentally were $3.50
and S13 per barrel OF ten pecks.
This means that he got $500 and S540
q bushel.
Ii this new variety OF sweet potato holds
up as well as it has begun it ought to go
long way towards making the Georgia farm
ers independent. There are many varieties OF
fruits and vegetables whose shipping quail
ties are offset by certain amount of inie
rioritv for table use. Our friends at the
north have never known the real merits OF
the sweet potato, and it would be unfortunate
il we could not give them the best quality
while we are educating them This new va
riety would seem to be the answer.
However that may be the real lesson IS
that here is a crop which grows abundantly
in Georgia, and in fact is peculiar to the
south
And it sells for more than S. on the north
ern markets.

Southwest Georgia.

The ThouaSville Times Enterprise, justly
enthusiastic over Southwest Georgia, rises to
remark: The notable achievements of the
south are being increased every day. South
west Georgia is showing its heels to the
crowd, for no where in the state has there
been more consistent and steady develop
ment than here for years and no where has
it been more notable and unusual than in
the past year"
As our contemporary says when towns OF
ten thousand people can boast building pro-
grams Of million dollars year without
the prestige and advantages of the Florida
tourist and land speculative money there is
growth OF a most substantial kind. Il puts
both Townsville and Albany in that class,
record OF which these splendid little cities
may well be proud.
The entire country is awaking to the fact
that Southwest Georgia is the best section OF
the United States from the standpoint Of eli
mae, fertility of soil and variety OF crops, and
the indications are that it is on the verge OF
an era Of unprecedented prosperity. Help It
along. Put up your hammer and pull or push

Justice Opens Her Eyes.

Justice is not always blind. Way up in
Minnesota she had her eyes wide open when
considering the case of John Conner, con-
victed bootlegger, who hired tramp to
serve his sentence Of six months in the coun-
ty Jail Conner, having been found out by
the authorities, now will have to serve the
full term in jail and do an additional thirteen
months in the federal penitentiary for con-
tempt OF court The profits that man will
lose on his booteggng business as result
Of his enforced idleness for the next nine
teen months might stagger the imagination
OF anyone not a bootlegger. His realization OF
his loss no doubt will have much the same
effect upon him as is exerted by that mys-
terious thing which makes wild cats wild
Conner was convicted at Fergus Falls ear
ly this year. He had money, as have all
bootleggers, and no idea at all that he would
spend six months in the county Jail There
fore, he employed stranger to do his time.
His substitute was tramp whose time was
worth little if anything anyway, so the sub
stitute served the sentence and then issued
forth free man. Meanwhile the facts became
known and Connor was snatched back into
court He admitted the substitution, which
I is one of the strangest things on record for
a bootlegger, who usually adopts the plan
OF the stage correspondent in a divorce case
and pleads absolute innocence.
Minnesota is to be congratulated on the
showing made Justice has been blind in
too many cases for the proper punishment
to be meted out. Justice, if she does what
is expected of her in these times of bootleg
ging, and murder and robbery and automo-
bile thefts, has got to open her eyes or she,
herself, in the jargon OF the underworld, will
be gyped good and plenty.

A Cheering Bit of News.

The death of Dutch" Anderson, notorious
thug, gunman and murderer, in battle Of
bullets with policeman in Muskegon, Mich,
is the basis OF cheerful bit Of crime news.
Anderson, pal in crime OF Gerald Chapman,
notorious murderer and mail robber, who
escaped from prison in Georgia and is now
under sentence to be hanged in Connecticut
on December 3rd for the murder OF police
man, at last reached the end OF his career
and died just as bandits ought to die, with
no expensive long drawn out court trials.
Anderson had shot his way TO freedom many
times, but this time he failed, which proves
that the best of the criminal marksmcn can
and do meet their matches at the hands OF
peace officers. If AIuskegon citizens do their
duty they will vote that city's thanks to the
police department for Kidding the country of
an undesirable character The officer who
killed Anderson was also fatally wounded.
His memory should be accorded the great
est respect.

Jim Reed in New Role.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


From the wilds of Kansas City comes the
report that Senator James A. Reed has pro-
pounded a 81, 500-word hypothetical question
in the trial OF Roy B. Garvey, who is charged
with the murder of his father. 1t is needless
to say that it was asked of an alienist who
is an important witness in the case. We are
told that it required over five hours to read
the question, and it is not hard to credit the
statement. The only thing needed to prove
the farcical character of such a proceeding
is to be told that it required a categorical
reply Yet to compel a witness to return a
simple yes" or mo" to such a question
would be cruel and inhuman
The first notable example of this sort of
thing was brought to the attention OF the
public in the unsavory Thaw trial. That cele-
brated case brought out the plea OF brain
storm" as a legal defense 1t caused more
or less hilarity even though it made the judi
cious grieve. The only thing to compare with
it was the famous bareback" explanation
given by the weather man after the TAFT in
auguration. 1t is, OF course, impossible to
discuss the merits OF the Kansas City case
at this distance; but the effect OF that 81 500
word question will be to strengthen the gen
era feeling OF doubt regarding the value Of
expert testimony in murder trials. This does
not mean that specialists are not needed in
cases where there is reason to question the
sanity OF defendant. But it does mean that
the use OF testimony OF that character has
been abused in some instances until il has
become scandal.

A Case for Vigilantes.
From the Los Angeles Times.

Dispatches from Sacramento tell Of specta-
tors breaking into applause when the jury
announced a verdict OF acquittal for Floyd
Hall, killer, bandit and desperate. Women
crowded around the young criminal and patti
ed his back One even kneeled and kissed
his band
Yet we wonder why. crime is increasing!
If we as American people tolerate such
revolving, nauseatng spectacles we deserve
to be assaulted, robbed and murdered at the
within of any dashing young desperate who
may feel the urge to commit crime.
Floyd Hall was serving a life sentence
for a brutal murder when he escaped from
San Quentin. He, with his partner, Joe
Tanko still at large, terrorized a large part
OF northern California for weeks killing and
robbing freely before Hall was captured.
Subsequently Hall was tried in Sacramento
again and convicted OF murder i'll the first
degree and sentenced to hang. Because a
woman member Of the jury pleaded tearfully
that she did not know she was voting to
hang this cold, heartless killer his lawyers
filed an appeal, which is pending Followed
then the pressing OF the second charge, also
calling for death sentence, which resulted in
his acquitta1 and the disgusting scenes IN the
Sacramento court room just described.
Hanging is mild punishment for this
brute Yet a lot of silly women glorify him!
The perverson Of justice which has marked
the whole history of the Hall case has help
ed TO sow the wind which may be reaped in
the whirlwind 1t has planted the seeds from
which will grow a new crop OF young des-
peradoes encouraged by the lenienCy enjoyed
by wretches Of Halls stripe and inspired by
the hero-worshp openly bestowed by mental
perverts posing as upright citizens

The Cost Of Living.
From the DeKalb New Era.

The cost of living is now - per cent
greater than it was in 1928, according to U
s. Department of Labor figures. But this
level of prices is still far below the peak
of 1920, when prices reached 10 per cent
above 1918. Nevertheless, prices are still far
too high. This level must have a tendency
all the time to prevent many families from
buying goods and thus help to unsettle bust
ness and cause unemployment, says an ex-
change.
Not only has the cost of living gone up,
but the cost of everything has advanced far
beyond what seems to be reasonable level.
The cost OF government, court procedure and
operating expenses of all kind have climbed
steadily upward until it looks as if our social
order must break down under the load.
The world is eagerly looking for some one
who can show us how to bring down or else
increase incomes about 200 per cent over
their present volume.

The Chicken Pie House.

Noting that the McAfee House at Smith
VILE celebrated as the chicken pie hotel, has
passed into the hands Of new owners the
Pearson Tribune says: What will become Of
the hotel is unknown 1t has been the dinner
house for Central OF Georgia railroad trains
since 1865 and perhaps before that time"
This hotel is famous from one end OF the
country to the other 1t was established by the
late A. H. McAfee, an engineer on this divis-
ion OF the Central railroad, and was conduct
ed by him until his death some years ago.
AS a dinner house it became renowned for
its sumptuous dinners, which always includ-
ed crisp and rich chicken pie, and before bone
dry days fell upon the country a decanter
Of home made scuppernong wine graced each
table to add to the cheer OF the MONDAY
meal This the guests were privileged to par
take Of freely and without cost Since the
death of Mr. McAfee the hotel has been I'M

tom he inaugurated of serving chicken pie
every day has been scrupulously adhered to;
but, of course the wine has been dispensed

AS to the future OF the hotel, it is one o.

Tell the World.
From the Manufacturer

Under no other government in the world
Nave the. masses Of the people been given such
equal opportunities as in America.
With l6,337,605 electric light and power
customers, 100000 automobiles, 100000
telephones, 100000 Photographs and $780,,
900 radios 110,000,000 Americans enjoy more
OF these modern conveniences than the peo-
pies Of all other countries. What we consid-
er necessities here are usually classed as lux
uries by the rest of the world.
1t is not just by chance that America has
such things in the largest quantities for COM
mon use. 1t is here and here only that the
individual enjoys the greatest freedom for
developing ideas, energy, ambition and initia-
tive. The result has been a growth unprece
denied IL the worlds history. The best pro-
gram yet offered by communist or socialist
leader not only fails to add in any manner
to the advantages and freedom under which
Americans have lived for some hundred and
fifty years but it actually reduces in a large
measure the liberties and protection guaran-
teed to rich and poor alike by our constitu-
ton
Every citizen should appreciate these facts
We should present them whenever possible
to counterfeit spurious proposals which if not
defeated can undermine the strongest gov
ornamental structure which exists today.

Our Disappearing Fish.
From the Macon Telegraph.

All good followers OF Isaak Walton will
heed the appeal OF Commissioner Twitty to
observe the new game and fish laws He
makes the statement that there are now in
Georgia streams only Is per cent OF the fish
there were ten years ago Dyes from mills,
poisoning the streams, have contributed very
largely to the big death rate among the hnny
tribe. but the big increase, Mr.. Twitty says,
has been attributable to the poor sports who
dam streams and seine, leaving the fish that
are not big enough to be sold on the banks
to die, and to those who cannot even be
called poor sports-those creatures who dy-
Mantle streams. In the world OF sportdom
those who dam and seine and who dynamite
for wholesale catches are the moral equals
OF those who shoot rabbits in their warrens
or partridges on the ground.
