ensemble strength of the chorus but
also it's individual solo caliber.

are giving 10 The Associated Press night and day the news of their various territories and The Associat- ed Press, incidentally, is spending something over seven million dollars a year to transmit this news over it's various wire circuits. If is for this reason that The Associated Press, in the very nature of things. is always able 10 bring 10 you. through the newspapers that have its service, the immediate news developments of importance wherever and when ever things happen. This is perhaps the supreme example of the fact that human beings can effectively and successfully cooperate with one another in q big way to accomplish a common purpose.
 Gave Father Good News
 "Rcverting 10 the Omaha tornado story for a moment this may he in- 'oresting While The Associated Press wire was carrying 10 Norfolk the pressing details Of the storms havoc nearly 200 people were killed and a thousan1 badly inured-and with every split second on that one lone wire worth its weight in ra- dium, tho Norfolk newspaper pub fisher received q telephone call from a man al O'Noin, Nebraska, eighty miles away, who said: "We hear there has been q terrible storm in Omaha. My 15 year old daughter is in school at Brownell Hall, Omaha. We can get no message to or from her. Is there any way in the world that you can help us find out wheth- CT our little girl is alive or dead?' And there was.
 "The Associated Press member interrupted the news dispatches that were unfolding the story of Omaha's tragedy and asked The Associated Press bureau chief in Omaha to dispatch a messenger 10 Browneli Hall to get the desired information. Within an hour a note went over the wire 10 Norfolk that the litle girl was safe and a moment later her father in O'Ncill had that message.
 q tell Of this incident to show that The Associated Press even in the stress of gathering and distrib- uting the vital news of the world is still an association of human beings with 8 composite human heart.
 Another incident sheds light on the character of The Associated Press. It may or may not be known 10 the general public that thousands of people in New York and else where wager dimes and dollars every day on their guesses as to what will be the figures in the daily balance issued by the New York Clearing House. Bets are paid, ] am told, on the basis of the figures as they are published in evening papers. Incidentally, The Associat- ed Press and the Clearing House of ficials have done everything pos siblc 10 render gambling on these figures difficult. but that is another story. In the Wall street bureau Of The Associated Press is a fifteen year old messenger hoy who each day goes 10 the Clearing House to obtain a copy of the days report, in cluding the fateful figures upon which q great deal of money is later to change hands.

 why this one available telegraph
 wire must be turned over to the packers. The newspaper owner ! then put it this way: DO you mean Ito say with Omaha laid tow by q tornado and with hundreds or thousands of human being either dead or injured, and people all over America in tragic susnenses as to the fate of their relatives and friends among Omahas 100000 people, that in these circumstances you are going to turn over your one wire out Of Omaha to a pig-sticking concern instead Of to the press?'
 Is Given The Wire
 You win,' said the wire official. and out of Omaha began to flow the most dramatic and tragic story Of its history. The Norfolk publisher was able to quickly issue an extra on his own account and then, in turn, telephoned the list of dead and injured to newspapers at Sioux City, Iowa, whose publishers were also members of the Associated press and 1 from that point the story found an outlet over leased wire 10 a thous- and other Associated Press news papers in America, and to points tErOupboIt tha world

And it may or may not surprise you to know that on several occasions this Associated Press messenger boy. as he left the Clearing House with his reports. has been halted by a stranger who bluntly offered him $50 to reveal, several hours in ad- .vance of their publication, these precious Clearing House figures And this boy, without moments hesitation, has in each instance re- fused the bribe that was offered and remained true to his trust and to The Associated Press. He didn't even mention the incident to his chief We learned it when he told it to a companion messenger boy who re- lated the story O me.
 This is typical of the spirit of the staff Of The Associated Press from top to bottom. That spirit puts the integrity of The Associated Press news service above price and it is that spirit which puts q soul into this far-tIung news gathering or ganization.

Radio Talk Over WIZ Delves Into Interesting Little Sidelights of This Great News Gathering Agency.

New York, June 16 Some incl dents in the human side of the Asso- ciated Press were described last night by N. A. Huse Of the executive staff of the general office. in a radio address over station WIZ. He said:
 The Omaha Tornado
 The publisher of daily news paper at Norfolk, Nebraska, opened his eyes one Monday morning at the unusual hour-even for a news paper man-of a. m, and found himself so wide awake that he could not go back 10 sleep. Prompted by a strange impulse, he dressed and went to his office, arriving at 5:30, long before sunrise. On the way he met cab driver who said it was rumored a tornado had struck Omaha and that many people were killed. This particular newspaper publisher was the Norfolk. Nebras- ka member of the Associated Press and his paper received its daily tele- graphic Associated Press news over a leased wire working out of the Omaha bureau Of the Associated Press and when he heard the torna- do rumor his first concern was as to how his telegraph report for that day might fare in such an emer- gency. He immediately got in touch with the company from which he leased this wire and was told they had not a single wire into the city of Omaha and that nobody knew how serious the situation was be- cause it had been impossible since the night before-which was Easter Sunday in 1913-to establish com muaication with the stricken city. He was informed heroic efforts were being made to get wires up, but there was no way of knowing how long his newspaper might be with out a telegraphic service.
 Wire Was Refused
 Just at that moment this pub fisher heard a telegraph instrument in tho office of the wire company clicking a call from Omaha. Isn't that a call from Omaha now" he asked.
 '" Yes, that's the first time we've had Omaha since last night the wire official said. but We can't give you that wire because one of the big packing concerns leases many wires from us between Omaha and Chicago for transmission Of their private market business, and We are in duty bound to give them the first available wire. We will hook up a circuit for them through Norfolk. by way Of St, Paul. Minn., and down to Chicago
