MEN COVER THEMSELVES
WITH GLORY AT DINNER

The long promised Mems Dinner
for the ladies of the Presbyterian
church was given last Thursday
evening at the church dining room.
Promptly at 6 80 the ladies' were
escorted, seated and served by these
modest hosts with the courtliness of
the famous Knights of Old.
And such feast that these same
culinary artists had prepared! There
was ham, rich, juicy, spicy, delicious
ham, and all the vegetables that one
could desire for its company
salads, jelly, coffee, ice-cream and
cake, and plenty of it too.
Then after the hundred guests or
more pronounced the supper very
great success, their chairs were
turned toward the platform where
DR.. John Thompson had established
broadcasting radio station in a
manner that only DIR. Thompson
could conduct and announce the
very classical numbers which he had
chosen for the occasion. His de-
picIlon of characteristics in certain
men of the congregation was in
imatable and brought about splen-
did response.
The Famous Kitchen Band intro
duced the performances. Only those
present could appreciate. the soft
melodious tones of the tambourines,
the harmonious tunes of the egg
beaten, the rhythmic dull sounds of
the mixing bowl, the squish squash
of the. basket mop base-viol, and
the exquisite direction of Prof.
Toottoot-a-horn.
Fraulin Katzenjammer gave an
organ recital of no mean ability and
entertained her audience very much
win her solo of Darling Nellie
Gray.
Professor Guggenhammer played
saxophone solo with vim and
emotion that brought forth copious
tears-of vehement laughter.
The Duke of Vermilion was next
introduced There are no words in
our language to express the elo-
quence and oratory, the intellect
and science embodied in that clas-
steal delivery. 1t vas a continuous
flow of wit and solemnity and one
which his hearers will long remem-
Der.
The last and most impressive
number was Madam Gall Courtshe
whose long silky train of her we'd
ding gown and marvellous feathers
of her fans in her hair lent climax
that was too wonderful to describe.
She was accompanied by Lady
Owner-nerve in most impressive
and gesticulative fashion.
And so the guests-the ladies'
have voted ''The Mems Supper" as
one of the most important events
during their sojourn in Ely. 2. R.

BUSINESS GIRLS MEET
IN BRIEF SESSION

An unusually brief session of the
Business Girls Club was held at the
Community Center last Friday even

Prof. Reinshagen, in his usual
generous and genial manner pleased
every member with his saxophone
solo, and Miss Wing played his ac-
compartment on the piano. The
warmth of their appreciation proves
hoy much the girls value his kind
ness to them.

thou. many persons have studied
the weather maps in relation to
signal strength, static, and other
conditions, as determined by in
dividual opinion when listening in,
and some precise measurements
have been made by physicists and
radio specialists, there is difference
of opinion as to the extent to which
the character of the weather affects
radio signals, and there seem to be
other strong influences also involved
in the problem.
Apparently apparatus of precision
and special training would be nee
eSsary to make any adequate investi-
CATION in this field, and unless it
were shown conclusively that the
weather was the major considera-
ton, and not, for example, cleo
tricity, it would not be within the
sphere of the Weather Bureaus act

especially if the facts learned could

weather data collected by that

RADIO RECEPTION CONDITIONS
IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST.

The. Weather Bureau of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture receives many requests for
forecasts of conditions favorable cor
unfavorable for radio reception.
At the present time it is felt that
it would be unwise to attempt to
undertake such forecasts, as no one
knows enough as yet about the
factors involved to make it certain
that they would be reliable. AL

EUROPE ALSO HIT
WITH MOUNTING
VALUE OF FUEL
Italy Suffers With Heavy
Demand and No Sup
plies.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-While
the American household provider is
keeping one eye on the coal bin and
the other on ever|mounting ruiz
prices, he may find some consolation
in the knowledge that European
householders are doing the same
thing.
Department of commerce cables
from agents abroad today disclosed
the European and South American
markets were in a bad way. Much
Of this is due to virtual stoppage of
English production because of the
strike. Italy seems to be the hard
est hit with heavy demands but no
supplies. Genoa reports but 10000
tons of coal on hand and with no
prospects of relieving the shortage.
Germany Saves Coal
Germany seems to be saving coal
for home consumption, and is quot
ing prices only for delivery next
April. Importation of American coal
through Rotterdam has aided the sit
uation there.
Coal from the American fields is
keeping factories going in France,
production in the Belgian fields is
reaching a record mark, but the
government is taking steps to save
most of the fuel for home con-
sumption. England is producing
only about 100000 tons a week.
$15.25 Ton i'm Brazil
In Brazil the situation is described
as Serious" The Central Railway
of Brazil has been forced to curtail
service because Of low stocks. What
coal Is available is quoted at $15.25
n ton.
With exports from the United
states doubled over last year, ap-
!roximately $4,000 tons Of coal are
ing shipped monthly out of this
untry.
Coal is getting scarce. Demands
70 coming in from every market.
cables are coming in for coal at any
p'ice, and for every conceivable
advances for the Argentine up to the
end of January loading and still the
demand is insistent. All opinions
seem to show that the United King
dom IS out to finish the strike for
good and all, which has left those
countries who were getting down to
bare bins, desperate" one of Ameri
cas- largest coal producers informed
the Commerce Department.

AN EXPENSIVE

Madame Paderewski. wife OF the

FOR a Hoosier chicken. a White
Wyandotte cockerel. The bird will
be shipped TO the Paderewskis'
estate in Switzerland, where they
are engaged in chicken raising on
a large scale.
Three hundred dollars for a sin

some expensive chickens in Indi-

city streets not down on the poul-

Is any chicken worth $500?
Probably not for a la king or la
Maryland purposes. Perhaps so,
for breeding purposes.
Like breeds like, according to
the old axiom. But It doesn't

WHAT EVERY MAN KNOWS
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Society women going into the professions saws
a pessimistic news dispatch. Yet why depore any
thing so progressive, so sensible as that?
We are beginning to renquish the idea that leis.
ure and luxury for is the acme of happiness
When we shall have dropped it entirely we shall be
a more contented
All current fiction, all plays and movies all news.
paper stories, all fairy tales infer womans sole
desired goal is marriage with rich gifted man
and a life Of perpetual ideness.
This is one reason why many splendid business
girls still sometimes look with dstaste upon work
while they dream OF being social leader of the country
club set Never until they reach that envied position
DO they realize how overestimated it may be.
Women, like men, born to be happy at their
jobs. once these included only the tasks of home:
today they encompass all the arts and crafts. The
very fact that daily deserving their social
routine to take something which calls for real
work is sufficient proof that the of life always
pail and that good strong effort is fascinating
than the frivolities.
For no matter how may strive for the aim of
nothing to do and nothing worry about" we can
never get away from the fact work is the finest
thing in life and that ideness most woefu curse
Women who have been thrust into inane existences
by circumstance and prejudice getting their eyes
open at last. They are coming to comprehend dmly
that there is more real satisfaction more thrill more
wholesome enjoyment in the daily grind work than
is ever to be found in teas receptions or bridges
When all women grasp the truth this-a truth
which most men have always known-we shall have
fewer bad marriages and will CLEAN something
finer from lie than they ever have had before

MONKEY WRENCHES FOR
MEXICO

= since that day nearly year ago when Secretary
OF State Kellogg grabbed thunderbot ont ~ cloor
SKY and hurled it at unsuspecting Mexico. we've
heard DEAL pro and con, about this southern neigh
Dor of ours, particularly con-
The reason is We have with us always a little but
loud chorus of "nterventionists who sing high or
sing low according to the way the baton swings
And the Kelloggian gesture of 1925 warning Mexico
TO watch her step or take the consequences gave this
chorus both its cue and its key 1t has been singing
hlgh ever since, with all Latin America looking on
with misgivings and attendant animadversion
Seeing the trend and inundated by conflicting
propaganda, a committee of Americans decided to
WISH Mexico and investigate for itself Among those
who went along former Governor William
sweet of Colorado, Rabbi Epingham irish of Texas
REV. John Herring Of the Federal Council Of
churches, and Albert Coyle, representing American
labor Returning to the States the committee made
It's report Boiled down, it read: Hands off
Mexico"
President Gales the committee saws is doing
his best to improve the material, spiritual and eco
nomic welfare of his people. Americans cannot
realize the magnitude of this task because conditions
IN our country different
There is no need to go into details of the report
In substance it asks the United States to be patient
and give Mexico a chance She has a big lob on her
hands, is doing pretty well, considering and bide
fair to do it even better if we will chin in with q
little help, now and then, instead of monkey

tee has had to listen to overwhelming mass of
conflicting statements concerning condition result
ing from national prohibition. He has heard men
of the highest repute and of unmpeachable motives
relate their reasons for thinking change must
be made Able, through long experience as a jurist
to brush aside chaff much testimony from profes
sional vets and professional drys, he surely hasn't
been able to do the same in the case OF other wit
nesses And it is inconceivable that what he has
heard has not convinced him that prohibition is a
matter that should be investigated
Mayor Dever of ChicagdT whose earnest efforts
to enforce prohibition along with the other laws
in his city have not been challenged reports himself
baed at every by conditions resulting from this
one law.
That situation must have appealed to Senator
Walshs understanding. He is interested, as a pub
lie man, in many important issues foreign and
domestic, political, economic and social He finds
himself caught continually however, between the
forces that want prohibition and the forces that
don't both forces so concerned by their feelings as
to have no views matters which he must regard
as, after ALL more important.
He must recognize that, while it remains unset.
tleS the prohibition question is a destructive ele
ment in national affairs.
Mayor Dever offers a solution 1t is one that
ought to appeal to Senator Walsh
What is needed" said Mayor Dever to the sub
committee, 'is patient, courageous intelligent toll
Grant study of the whole problem We must have
such study and must act on it, to avert chaos q"
We have said we believe this suggestion will an.
peal to Senator Walsh We hope it will and for this
reason:
Senator Walsh is the offer in the Senate
a resolution providing for such investigation an
investigation that will be non-partisan and unbiased
an investigation that will be thorough and connnIete
This said because it is usual for the Senator Offering
such resolution to be named on any committee an
pointed.
And Walsh on such a committee whether chair
man or not, would guarantee the thoroughness Of
the investigation.
Let's find the facts.
lhls newspaper holds different view OF prohi.
pition from that now held by the Montana Senator
but II would welcome the facts uncovered bv com,
mittee headed by himself And it believes the IN
tehlgent reasonable people of the country who must
De the majority would do the same
On the facts, so found, safe course for the
country can be charted.

LET'S FIND THE FACTS

There is one member of the Senate su5commit-
tee considering bills to amend the Volstead act
toward whom this newspaper looks with some hope
That member is Senator Thomas j. Walsh of Mon
tana.
Senator Walsh opposed the holding Of the hear
ings just concluded practical sort OF person, he
knew that the present Congress is not that will
vote to make the Volstead act less stringent For
that reason he believed the holding of public hear
ngs would be a waste of the Senators time. Since
however Senator Walsh is a reasonable as well
practical person. it is unthinkabe that he has not
been impressed by the evidence laid before the COM
mittee
Senator Washs we'll deserved reputation as a
statesman rests on two outstanding qualities. One
Of course, is his moral courage Another-though
this may sound contradctory-is his caution The
man who has led more than one forlorn hope to
triumphant victory readily qualities as courageous
but, at first thought hardly cautious Yet Walsh
is cautious. 1t is his caution that has given him his
pre-eminent place on the Democratic side of the
chamber.
The who stormed the very citadel of en-
trenched privilege, who ripped through the wire en-
tanglements of wealth and political power surround.
ing Teapot Dome, who destroyed two members of
Presidents cabinet and put two of the Nations
wealthiest men on trial in criminal court is really a
cautious man. The man who fought the Depart
ment of Justice, with it's complete control over the
machinery Of the law, fought it from Washington
Montana and back again. and fought it successful
ly to win the vindcation of his younger colleague,
is cautious not a reckless, foolhardy man. There
is cool brain behind his courage.
Walsh has courage born of passion for Justice
He has caution, born of passion for facts
The latter quality has been as much responsible
for his success as the former. For every stirring
campaign in which Walsh has enlisted has followed
