Charms" That's a grand selection Up home in Fairfax Center, Mother has that song on the graphaphone and we play it nearly every night, too.
 Then and there l went away from WTIC and 1 says to myself, Well, Lie, why don't you try to get some radio up on top of the dials?" I sez 10 myself, That's pretty good judg- ment. Guess I will" And that's how 1t come about. I went away up in the top, where men are men and the code is somethin' awful. WNYC, New York, come through pretty heavy, but so did the static and l guess they was a-thinkin' of callin' the battle a draw. I didn't hear much else but static. Some quartet was playin' on mandolins and ban jos and every so often l could hear the music. It was real nice to hear them notes like that. It made me feel as if somebody was athinkin' of me.
 Then I went over to WIZ, New York city. Say get that station reg ular every evenin' when I'm up home. Of course, I ain't got a big radio set, just little one with three tubes, but I got a loud speaker and it's real nice to set there of an evenin' and just let the music come in to the room. Joe Fulton, the hired man. sets there suckin' on his pipe and gettin' rid of some of the foulest smellin' tobacco smoke you ever heard tell on. Mother sets right there in the lamplight mendin' socks or somethin'. Me, I'm busy tryin' to get them dials fixed right and they ain't nothin' fer me to do but set right there in front of the set and tend to business. Then some times, the Bowerses from down the road comes up to spend the 'evenin' and we always have right nice | time. Mir. Bowers is q real pleasant man and his wife is awful sweet They've only been livin' in our vil- | lage fer short time and Mother and I sort Of likes to make things cheery fer 'em, sence they are so much younger than we are and then, too, they ain't got many friends up our way.
 But, here, here! I'm awful sorry I left the "a lio like that. You know, every so often my mind gifts to wanderin' and I'm likely to tell all my troubles and everybody else's, too, before l git back to where l started. Just nudge me if I start wanderin'.
 Mark Twain's boyhood was de- pictd in a selection. "Huckleberry Finn" which was played by the Maxwell ensemble, from WIZ, New York city. All I wanted to say was that if the static meant anything, | the poor little feller must have had terrible time when he was a young un'.
 That Cleveland, Ohio, station, what is it, WTAM, came in loud early in the evening but of course I didn't listen because the static was loud here. too. But went back there a little while, matter of hour or so, after the conditions was better. A MT. Whitney was singin' Why" in a baritone voice. I wonder, be he any relative to them Whitney's what lived for long time down near the four corners. One of them folks could play Jewsharp pretty good, so mucic must of run in the family.

urges CONTINUING
POLICY ON EXPORTS
Dr.. Klein Tells Subcommittee
Trade Is Now Facing
Serious Crisis.
By the Associated Press.

oy ttc AssOCldteO fress.
DR.. Julius Klein. director of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, told a House appropriations
subcommittee in testimony made pub
lie today that 'the export trade of
the country faces a serious crisis
which urgently requires continuance
OF the encouraging policy followed
since 1921"
The outstanding problem" he ex-
planned. rs the coming conflict for
foreign markets attendant upon the
economic recovery Of our European n
competitors. Every one of our over
seas rivals has launched a most ag-
gressive drive against our export mar
kets. and the pressure of these cam
paigns is already being felt by our
exporters in many important trade
centers. especially in Latin America
and the Far East.
"A further factor of our rapidly
expanding overseas economic interest.
which makes imperative the steady
development of our trade intelligence
service, is the growth of American in
vestments abroad. which are now
about So, 500 900 900. exclusive of gov
ernmental war loans, as against
slightly over $500 900 900 before the
war"
DR.. Klein said the world wide data
which Congress in March. 1923, au-
thorized his bureau to collect on the
rubber and coffee industries was di-
rectly contributory TO the evident sue
cess of the present campaign against
rubber and other monopolies, which
has already brought down the price
of crude rubber from over 81 per
pound on December l to 66 cents"

Since the establishment of the com
mission the report pointed out that
not a representative Of what Is known
as the intermountain groups Of States
was on the board until 1914. when
Commissioner Hall of Denver was ap
pointed. Since the expiration Of the
term Of Commissioner Clements Of
Georgia in 1917 there has been praC-
tically no representative on the com
mission of the Southern States. ex-
tending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
The report continued: I'm making
tho apportionment of members as con
tained in the bill the committee had

problems incident to the respective
groups provided therein.
1.-THE transportation problem OF the
New Eng's nd States is so nearly uni

compact that one commissioner was
thought sufficient to represent that
group. The same was thought to be
true of the Pacific group.

ANTITRUST CASES
SUBJECT OF PROBE
Quiz by House Committee on
Justice Department Meth
odS in Prosecution.
By the Associated Press.


The course of the Department of
Justice in antitrust cases came in for
sharp examination before the House
appropriations committee, which draft
ed the appropriation bill for the law
enforcement branch of the Govern
ment, it was shown today in accounts
of hearings made public by the com
mittee.
After F. A. Myers, special assistant
to the Attorney General, had testified
that S465 900 Of the $500 600 recovered
by the Government in such cases last
year came from furniture manufac-
turers indicted in Chicago, Chairman
Shreve declared one OF the manufac-
turers who pleaded guilty had acted on
the advice of the Government, al
though he knew nothing of any price
fixing agreements.
Mr. Myers said he never knew an
instance where the Government acted
as counsel for defendant.
Word got to him that it was the
best thing to do continued Mr..
Shreve. us it not a fact that all OF
the big fellows slipped out and the
little ones came in and pleaded
guilty."
"To the best Of my knowledge that
is not true" said the witness, to
which the chairman replied that the
surrender Of the lesser defendants
looked rather like intimidation
Mr. Myers pointed out that there
was nothing compelling a man to
plead guilty. He added that there
were some so companies contesting
the case and demanding trial, which
they would get very promptly.
He said Al antitrust cases had been
under investigation during the year.

SKRzYNSK| AVOIDS
TANG[E IN LEAGUE
Premier Touches Only Briefly
on Demand for Seat on
Geneva Body Council.

By the Associated Prese.
WARSAW, February 26.--Premier
SkrZynski, on the occasion of the first
reading of the bill to ratify the Lo-
carno pact, touched only briefly on
Poland's claim for a permanent seat in
the council OF the League of Nations.
He said nothing to indicate that Po-
land was determined to insist on the
seat, but referred to the covenant of
the hague of Nations as implying
that Poland should have membership
In the council when Germany became
a member
The premier took an optimistic out
look OF the approaching meeting of
the league and said he hoped for a
solution there for all difficulties and
a victory for the ideal Of peace. The
only practical Interpretation of article
four Of the league covenant. he as.
serted, was that Poland should ap-
pear on the leagues council with the
same status and at the same time with
Germany.
Poland, the premier continued, wish.
ed to be there to reinforce those who
regarded the league as the organiza-
ton by which delicate issues could be
settled in a spirit of impartiality and
justice. He declared that Sir Austen
Chamberlain, the British foreign sec
retary. was aware that Poland was
collaborating Loyalty and sincerely in
laying the foundation for the future
peace of the world and that Pola nd g
vital interests harmonized with Great
Britain's peace plan, a fact that would
enable Poland to pursue a policy of
moderation.
He denied that before signing the
Locarno agreements he demanded Ger.
tain conditions. for instance. that Po-
land should have a permanent seat in
the leagues council.
The moderation of the speech of the
premier served to calm the exciteme mt
which had arisen over the German
press campaign in connection with
Poland's claim for a permanent seat.

about and. frowning upon their ir-
regular grouping and the distance
they We're 20 one side, directed them
10 come closer" to stretch out their
line. And, as an added touch of ar
tistrY, he suggested that the smaller
gentlemen take positions in front and
the taller ones in the rear. This
order probably was not heard or un-
derstood. because there was no front
or back line when the picture making
started in earnest. There was only
one line
Cigar Incident Amuses.
In his hurry Senator Simmons had
forgotten to relieve himself of a long
freshly lighted cigar with a bright
hand around It, During the shifting
around in the grouping it so hap
pened that the North Carolina Sena-
tor and his long cigar caught the
most prominent place in the picture
with the exception Of the President S.
This cigar few moments later fig
ured in an amusing incident which
called for an outburSt Of laughter
from the principals and the audience
which was composed of the camera
and movie men and the score Of news
paper correspondents. 1t occurred as
the President was putting the final
flourish on the dotted line.
Senator Smoot conceived the idea
that the moment had arrived for some
added action to the scene--a touch of
human interest. Therefore he turned
and shook hands with Representative
Green. who conducted the preliminary
hearings on the tax revision bill and
piloted the bill through the House. The
Utah Senator. desiring to exemplify
the non-partisan manner in which the
tax bill was handled. then put his
hand out to Senator Simmons. The lat
ter had been gazing cameraward and
had not been watching this handshak-
ing, and was taken unawares. In his
confusion he held out the hand which
was tightly clutching the long cigar
Neither of these gentlemen caring
to take his eyes from the cameras
In front. was aware of the cigar f1gur
ing in the handshake until 1t was too
late. The latter had long since been
extinguished, and there was no burn
ing of flesh. only q little spililng OF
ashes very close to the neck of the
President, who was unconscious Of al
that was going on and who looked UP
with great surprise when he heard the
roar go up from the gallery.
Declines to Move Flag.
AT the right-hand side of the P1esi
dents desk stands a handsome silk
American flag. 1t is never moved
It obstructed the view of several OF
the cameramen today, but the Presi
dent declined to move the flag wher
thev appealed to him.
The tax bill reached the White
House yesterday afternoon. 1t was
Immediately sent to the Treasury De
partment for Secretary Mellon ant
his corps of experts to check up on Il
and to determine II it contained any
technical flaws. 1t is understood tha,
they completed their task in time t.
return the bill to the White House
last night.
It was explained that the Presi
dents reason for afflxing the time o,
the signature to the bill was to avoiC
possible future legal tangles.
