BY THOMAS J. o'FLAHERrY

n GORGE BERNARD SHAW cele-
~ brated his 10th birthday last Mon
day. So did most of the British bour-
geoisie. There was time when Shaw
was not such a great favorite with
them, tho even today the government
saphead who manages the British
broadcasting service--a government
monopoly-refused to allow George to
take the air because the canny come
dian would not tell him beforehand
what he would say. This is one of
Shaw's old publicity stunts, and it
worked again.
TT is said that Shaw is the richest
4 literary man in the world. The
public wants to hear what he has to
say and the publishers must pay thru
the nose. He charges as high as $3.50
for a few columns Of nonsense about
Ireland, and $1,000 for his views on
America. There is more sense and
philosophy in short story By Ring
Gardner. the American humorist, than
there is in anything Shaw has written
for several years. Shaw married a
wealthy woman and he has been chas-
ing wealth ever since. While the Brit
ish workers. were on strike against
their masters, and the poisoned pens
of everp capitalist hack in Britain
were scribbing against them Shaw had
not a word to say in their behalf, but
he villified them just as soon as the,
strike was over.
MrHAT Shaw wrote in the days OF
w his youth and comparative free
dom from the corrupting influence of
wealth will be treasured for some time
20 come. But new world is in birth
and future generations will lift the
clowns cap from the Shavian head
and reveal the court jester in his true
light, as a man who placed his gifts at
the service of the British ruling class.
Uncle SAM is liable to get clean
~ mad, grab his whiskers in one
hand and coat tail in the other and
sail over to Europe to clean up on
those who are abusing him, calling
him "Shylock" and other nasty
names. What poor Sam did was to
lend those fellows several billions OF
dollars to make the world safe for
democracy, hang the kaiser, free small
nations, make the seas free, insure
open covenants and make war scarce.
Several of those things didn't happen,
tho Sam himself stepped into the
scrimmage. When the war was over
Woodrow Wilson, at that time Sans
chief mouthpiece, went over to Europe
TO settle things nicely. He had plan
in his pocket to divide the world UP
among the big fellows.
DUT the big fellows over there did
IL not like the idea of Sam stepping
in and settling things for them and
some of Sans children over here got
real sore with the mouthpiece. They
said nasty things about poor Wood
row, even going to the limit of sug-
costing that he was seen hanging
around questionable places in Paris.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING

Earl Lyons, another of our home
town lads, needs no Introduction to
the majority of the people in this
community.
: After serving four years in the
army he returned without scar.
But his fighting days are not over.
He is still lighting the big fight,
striving to make of himself what he
desires to be.
Being the eldest son at home, after
his fathers death it became his duty
to try to fill his place. AS there
was no opportunity to procure en-
ployment for the family here they
moved to the city where Earl worked
during the day, attending school at
night in order to further his edu-
cation.
To become a lawyer was his aim.
By courteous letters and kind treat
ment of his clients he has met with
success.
BY becoming an active member Of
church he helped other lads just
entering the city to receive well
come there. With the thorough un-
derstanding of the loneliness of a
stranger in the city, he was able to
sympathize with others. Always an
enthusiastic base ball fan and lover
of clean sports he enjoys life to the
utmost.
OF course he has obeyed the call
of youth and chosen mate to help
him climb to the top and over, and
we shall all be with him in spirit
if not in person when he does. Re-
member Earl, if this should happen
to fall into your hands, that your
good old friends in Finlayson are
watching YOU.

In thinking high, and living plain,
Lie health and strength, and moral
gain.
Where lofty thoughts hold sway no
sin
Can enter in,
And where plain living dwells a
wealth
OF bouyant health
Makes the whole world, from zone to
zone,
Your own,
And fills your soul in days of fear
With hope, and courage, and good
cheer.
Mems souls are pitched in different
keys.
Some like lark rise strong of wing
Above the clouds of suffering,
And cheerily mount and sing
Till gloom grows glad and suffering

Smile, listening, and take heart

Broadcasting has passed another
important stage in its young career.
It's beginning to pay.
OF couEse. this is true today only
of few choice stations in the entire
country. But even from the great
remainder the cry of nothing gained
from broadcasting has died down
until we can almost hear their signs
of content.
Signs of this trend in broadcasting
are many and convincing. There is
first the positive statement on the
part of perhaps the leading broad

The broadcasting from the big
glass enclosed booth at the Radio
Show will be distributed to all parts
of the large building through fifty
Orchestrion loud speakers FURNISHED
through the courtesy Of Frank
Bremerman of the Radio Cabinet
Company, Indianapolis.
Two large Orchestrion speakers
six feet high and made just like their
smaller brothers, entirely out of
wood. viii greet the show visitors at
the main entrance. These speakers
are mounted on two large pedestals
and will pour forth the music from
the booth.
Fifty Orchestrion stock type speak
ers have been installed throughout
the building among the various ex-
hibits which will carry the broad
casting programs from the booth to
all parts of the building. In tests
conducted Saturday, the speakers
worked perfectly, giving absolute
perfect reproduction Of voice and
music that could plainly be heard in
the farthest corner Of the building.
The speakers ere operated, hooked
in series with a 'our-stage amplifier,
which is connected direct to the
broadcasting line. Therefore visitors
to the exposition will be able to see
and hear the various artists broad
cast while they are working in the
sound-proof glass studio.
