COURT IN A KITCHEN
Boston Judge Makes Investigation of Kitchen Stove And Finds Fault Is With The Stove.

Boston. April c3 R--A Someryile judge held court in q humble kitchen last night and supervised the opera ton of baking oven. He decided that the bread that resulted wasn't as good as it should be and the ven. dor of the stove had to pay $15 to the buyer.
 John Snrino bought the stove from Morris Philips and the latter attach ed his pay for an unpaid balance of S19. Serino said the oven would not bake bread, and the case came up today before Judge Malcolm B. Sturtevant in Somerville district court. But only seeing was believing with the judge so he ordered the night session in Serino's home. In the presence of attorneys and the principals, and Mrs. Serino and the baby lump of dough was placed In the oven. Twenty-Five minutes later out came the bread.
 Phillips showed one end of the loaf to the judge, but Serino pulled raw dough from the other end and the judge went into consultation with the attorneys in an adjacent room. He came out and told Phil lips to pay Serino $t5 and take the stove away.

HASTEN ACTION
 F ON RADIO BILL
Congress Anxious to Get Broad, !. casting Under Control

Washington. April g PL-A re- neWed effort to pass radio legislation at this session of congress will be made by senate leaders in order that broadcasting, now virtually unregu- lated, may be brought under govern ment control.
 The recent Chicago court decision holding that the commerce depart ment has not the authority under existing law 10 assign wave lengths or require division Of time in broad- casting, has made passage of q radio control bill urgent. in the opinion of Senator Curtiss Of Kansas, the re- publican leader and Chairman Wat son of the interstate commerce com Inittee, which now has radio legisIa- ion under consideration.
 To Consider Dill Bill
 Chairman Watson probably will call his committee together in the next few days to consider the Dill bill introduced yesterday which would set an independent radio con- trol commission.
 "The Chicago court decision" Chairman Watson said, has demon- strated to us that legislation on this important subject is immediately necessary. The interstate commerce committee will meet very soon 10 resume consideration of the problem and can say for a certainty that we will report out bill. Whether i' can be enacted. of course, remains 10 be seen"
 There appears 10 be little doubt that any measure which the senate committee approves will contain a provision for some kind of regu- latory commission rather than plac- ing control directly under the con- morce department. The house. on the other hand, already has passed the White bill, which would leave regulation In the hands of the de- partment, and house leaders have expressed doubt that any measure setting up an independent commis- sion would be approved by that chamber.
 The new Dill bill would create q commission of three members to be appointed by the president for five year terms. Ii would be empowered 10 revoke broadcastlng licenses, 10 prevent q monopoly of the air and to prevent stations from charging unjust and discriminatory rates for the use of their facilities. It would bring also "chain broadcasting" un- der strict control and establish il ]

American Farm Efficiency

At aae present time, when the
problems of the farmer are receiving
much attention, it is of interest to
note the advance that has been made
in farm efficiency. According to the
findings of statisticians, the average
farm worker is using about five times
as much machinery as did the aver
age farm worker of SO years ago.
Primary horse power has in.
creased on the farm to such degree
thatsagriculture uses a total amount
exceeding that used in all manufac-
turing and central station plants com.
bined. These estimates, based on in.
vestigations made by the National In
dustrial Conference Board, indicate
that 1S,000,000 fewer people are re
quired for agricultural production to-
day than would be needed without
this great increase. The total amount
of horse power used on American
farms, according to this authority
was 47,OOO,00O in 1924-Thrift Maya

Largest High-Powered Ship
Ever Built in American
Shipyard

With the launching at Philadelphia
recently of the largest high-powered
and swiftest passenger vessel ever
built in an American shipyard, there
was written into the record of our
merchant marine one of the finest
chapters of the country's prestige as
scafaring nation.
The newly launched ship has been
christened "Malola," which is Ha-
waiian for "Flying Fish" When
finally placed in commission in the
spring of 1927 between San Francisco
and Honolulu, it will reduce the round
trip passage-time from 10 to IL days.
The new ship viii be one of the eight
cen largest, one of the eight swiftest
and one of the first four ships in pas
senger carrying capacity in the world.
And it will be to Waikiki Beach
to Honolulu, the chief port of the
mid Pacific Islands that this latest and
finest addition to the American mer-
chant marine-the Malola-will wing
its way.
In building this new Leviathan OF
the seas science and industry have
played significant role. There has
been embodied every refinement known
+. to man to insure safety, comfort and
convenience.
Picture, if you will, this latest and
finest addition to our merchant mar
inc. The displacement of the liner
when loaded, is $4,000 tons. She will
be driven by twin-geared turbines gen
Grating $4,000 horsepower and her
speed will be more than % knots
There will be 274 staterooms tc
accommodate 693 first class passen
gers. There will be more private baths
than ever have been built into shit
before.
The Malola will have the frs

generally utilized in town Of ap-
proximately 5000 inhabitants, 1928 lines
will be provided in addition to 10
trunk lines for direct telephone COM
munication with local exchanges at
San Francisco and Honolulu.
The vessel will be equipped with oil
burners and will carry 1000 tons of
fuel in her tanks. 1t will have a
pumping plant capable of supplying a
city of nearly two million inhabitants
with twenty-five gallons Of water a
day for every man, woman and child.
The Malola is said to be the first
private vessel built in the United
States to incorporate in its design full
compliance with the specifications of
the International Convention for
Safety of Lives at Sea-. A reef could
rip open the outer shell of the Ma
lola's double bottom from stem to
stern, but she would still float safely.
The Malola's keel was laid May 4.
1925. She was designed by William
Francis Gibbs, naval architect of New
York. The. Matson Navigation Com
pany of San Francisco are the owners
of the vessel.

be done by electricity and 1l5,OO0
pieces of silver, glass and china will

and other fabrics would cover a farm
Of thirty-four acres.
The vessel will be equipped with the
latest type inter- communicating tele-
phone system. This system will pro-
vide communication to any point on
the ship and in addition will have
shore connections at San Francisco and
Honolulu, thus, enabling passengers to
remain in direct telephone communica-
ton with home or office from their
stateroom aboard ship.
There will be a total of 323 tele-
phones installed, each stateroom hav.
ing its own private phone. According

to where his axe awaited him. He
jerked it out of the log, picked out a

Murdoch Barnes did not follow him.
Through the afternoon Bills axe

find out where she lived; and then he
would set out to marry that girl. She
was the wifi che wanted. Barnes, es-
pecially as rival, hardly entered at
all into his thoughts.
Pierre Beaudry had gone to Tur-
ner's Falls, five miles away, for pro-
visions. Bill had chosen to stay on the
job and work; while Pierre, being of
highly gregarious nature, had pre-
ferred the trip to the little mountain
