should Ne embodied in international
law.
Calling attention to the extremely
rapid development of wireless teleg-
raphy and telephony, the resolutions
say that legislation concerning the
copyWricht of news transmitted by
wireless has not kept pace in all coun-
tries thus leading to confusion OF the
organization OF wireless. The rcSOlu-
lions declare that the orderly exchange
of all kinds Of information is a useful
factor Il; the international cooperation
which i supported by the League of
Nations. They ask that governments
adop; LEGISLATION by which receiving

right TO receive dispatches from public
hroadcast!ng stations and trial sta
tons This would include radio con-
Ccri.s, lectures, weather, news of the
stock exchange, the time of day and
general news.
Messages for Subscribers.
Legislation. however. should forbid
the picking up of wireless kilograms
and messages OF any kind intended for
subscribers, thr resolutions state. If
these messages are received by mis-
take. they should neither be repro
duCcd in writing nor communicated to
4 third person Moreover the use for
cciaInarcial purposes of news publicly
broadcast should be forbidden.

for whom it vas intended.
CONCERNING the protection OF the
property right of general press news
the conference passed resolutions
pointing out the desirability of the
ment for the unitiCatiOn of protective
legislation.
News Viewed as Property
This legislation should declare that
all news obtained by a newspaper or
news agency. whatever its form and
however transmitted. should be re-
gardod as the property Of such news
paper or agency SO long as it retains
It's commercial value.
II WAS recommended that the next
conference of the International Union
for the Protection of Industrial Prop
erty should revise the Paris and
| Washington conventions so as to con
! denim the unauthorized use OF press
news as unfair competition. The reso
! luton further says that official news

be made exclusive property, but that

initiative of a newspaper or news

of Fraud

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2S-Identifi-
cation Of photographs Of his early in
yentions was the main defense yester-
day of Joseph II. Adams, Brooklyn in
yentor and one of the AZ defendants in
tho Governments case against the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana and
others.
The Government contends that the
"cracking process" credited to Adams
was fraudulently patented in 1919 and
that the patent has been used for mo-
nopOlistic control of tho mn nUFn ct''~e
of gasoline. The original patent was
fled in 1908 Afiidav4ta III surp1r, u4

false, we're filed in 1916 and 1918.
Adams pointed out in the photo
graphs parts OF the apparatus which
the Government claims were not in
the invention. He identified the closed
tops Of supply tanks, pressure gauges
and pumps. Other witnesses corrobo-
rated him.
After cross-eXamination the Gov
ernment claimed that several of the
witnesses were incompetent to testify
on involved scientific subjects, two be-
ing only 16 years old when they saw

SLUM ELIMINATION
PLAN IS REVISED

Changes Proposal to Exclude
Private Donations.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 28.-Ac-
knowledging that little progress has
been made toward enacting his recent
Iy announced plan to wipe out the
lower East Side slums by the
H'nlagiC' of millions of dollars, August
Heckscher, philanthropist, outlined
another plan for adoption, if the pre-
vious one which, he said. had been
"called too altruistic, and therefore
Impractical" is discarded.
The original plan would have con-
stituted the most ambitious housing
program ever undertaken in this
country, calling for an expenditure
of 500, 900 900 annually for a period
of between 10 and Is years. Half of
the funds would have been supplied
by wealthy individuals and the rest
by the city and the State.
Would Remove Philanthropy.
The new plan, outlined by Mr.
Heckscher last night at meeting
nnder the auspices of the Downtown
Chamber of Commerce, would remove
private philanthropy from the prof.
ect, with the city bearing the chief
burden of the costs, and the State as
sisting if its aid should be needed.
Under the new plan, the city would
condemn wide areas. taking the land
and buildings at their present value.
By gradual process, the tenements
would be torn down and replaced by
new buildings, the streets Widened and
Fairgrounds built
Cites Typical Block.
Citing a typical block III the slum
area. he said the value of it's land and
buildings at present is $1,000 900. To
TaZe these buildings and erect new
ones would cost 81 1900 900. This in
Vestment of $2,500,000, at an interest
rate of per cent, would mean an an
nual cost of $3.50 600.
One-half of the total cost of S2,50O.-
600 would be borrowed from insur-
ance corporations and individuals on
first mortgages. The city would pro-
vide the other half, and would receive
oil rentals above the 6 per cent inter-
est charge on the borrowed money.
Provision would be made for amorti-
cation of the borrowed principal in 81
years.

You have loved the delicious fragrance OF
Dofia Castle. Do you know that this ex-
quisite scent is nothing but pure olive oil?
You love, too, the way Dofia leaves no odor
on the skin. Nothing to mar the subtle per-
fume that you choose for your own. A
beauty soap of course should cleanse the
skin and leave it soothed, caressed; that
is all-it should not be scented, ever!
Women with delicate skins find that a
scented soap is irritating, which of course
must be the case. Alas, too often scent is
used in toilet soapto "cover up" the odoro of
the ingredients. In fact, this is the only ra-
tional purpose of seeming soap. Really
it's a test of the goodness of a beauty soap
whether it is artihcially scented!
CASTLE, with its delicious olive oil fra
GRANGE, of course has no need of an artih-
cial scent. One reason, this, for its match

to rear children with an apprecia-
citation of morality. If this were
done and children were not permit

climb out of their cradles, there
would be less talk of Federal regu-
lation."
Mrs. Kahn strongly defended the

said few industries hads developed
