Radios Birthday

The first wireless message came
across the Atlantic twenty-five years
ago yesterday.
William Marconi received it as he
sat In an old barracks on the coast
of Newfoundland, wondering. per-
haps, whether he was about to be-
come a great inventor or to meet
another disappointment.
Among the immediate reactions to
this epoch-making proof OF the value
of radio was a rush of promoters.
They flooded the East with schemes.
hot air, brochures and beautifully
engraved stock certificates. 1t was
a case of Bell over again, they in
formed the public, and all the fas-
chatting tales OF how telephone stock
once sold for Is cents share; how
some Of 1t had been used to paper
rooms, only to be carefully scraped
off afterward, and how its amazing
rise made many a fortune, were re-
vlved and rehearsed
All of that has been forgotten,
but 1t forms a part of the story in
radio.

Nicaraguan President
Doesn't Appear Afraid
of Red Rebels.
BY M. Il. Tracy

Adolfo Diaz, whom we have rec
ognized as the president of Mica
ragua, takes a most peculiar stand.
First he accuses Mexico of help
ing the rebels" IN order to estab-
fish a red regime end then he OF
fers not only to forgive the 'reb-
els" but to let them share in his
government
If the rebels" are fit instru
ments through which to set up a
bolshevist, order, how can they be
fit to associate with the safe, con
sentative Senior Diaz?
Or is Senior Diaz merely trying
to help our State Department,
merely showing his gratitude by
recognition as confirming the ru-
rnors of bolshevism which one of
the high officials did not care to
father?
Certainly his willingness to COM
promise with the rebels" to pay
them for their trouble and to d.
vide public office with them does
not suggest that he is very much
worried over their red tendencies.

Good in Promoters

Your genial promoter is not the
least fascinating product of modern
life.
A confirmed optimist, inclined to
exaggerate and some times not too
scrupulous, he is nevertheless an all
important factor in the develop
ment and marketing of new devices.
More than anything else, he
shows how far we have Travelled
since those good old days when any
thing new was regarded as wrong.
Your promoters chief stock in
trade IS novelty. Instead of being
against change, he is always in
favor Of it, always looking for it.,
always thriving on it.
He may deal in bunk and not be
too careful about the genuineness of
his wares, but he has made the
path Of the inventor, the man
ufacturer and the developer much
easier.

And this unfair clause takes a
great actress from the stage at the
height of her career and it reduces
a great director to the mental gutter.
But 1.-THE Marriage Clause" gets
its big dramatic kick at the very end
Of the story-when the director
leaves his mental gutter to go to the
bedside of the woman that ne in
spired to be a great actress.
Here is drama that will get into
the hearts of every person who sees
it. Theater, you ask. Yes, great
dramatic theater.

War pictures are having quite a
vogue at the present time, and it
takes quite a bit of originality to
produce a picture of this type and
make It stand out from the others
that have been shown or are to be
presented in the future. This one,
under the direction of the author
Edward Sedgwick, has just the at.
mosphere to lift it out of the run of
war pictures. No attempt is made
to show the sad side of the late
war; only once is there a scene

MIR. MEIGHAN BECOMES
A CANADIAN WHEAT FARMER

Here is a question-Is it fair to
expect a movie actor to be popular
success in everything that he does
on the screen?
1t seems to me that we are ex-
pecting more Of our movie stars than
we do Of the stars on the legitimate
stage. I am now thinking Of Thomas
Meighan. His public expects Tom
to be the perfect Meighan at all
times. In THE Canadian" you will
find a dramatice Tom Meighan. He
is a farmer, a Canadian farmer,
who tries to get n harvest OF love
as we'll as wheat from the same
field. 1.-The Canadian" may be too
dramatic at times to be a popular
movie, but in IT Meighan does try
to give a sincere Characterization Of
man in the bleak wheat lands Of
Canada. The story opens with a nat
ural and realistic scene Of farm life
in Canada. Into this scene comes
a girl who has lived all her life in
Europe, but lack of money drives
her to the home OF her brother in
Canada. She turns out to be a
snob She refuses to become a part
Of the life of the community.
She takes the easiest way out
she strikes q cold bargain with the
Canadian, played by Meighan, to
marry him. The bargain was that
she was to cook and sew for him.
OF course the battle starts, and it
is some battle The Canadian loses
his wheat crop, but. Well, find
out for yourself and see If the Ca
madam loses in love.

which brings a lump to the throat,
and it is quickly lost. Comedy is
the big thing, and it is there.
The story tells of three members
of the A. E. F., who were just go
ing into action in France when the
news came that an armistice had
been signed. The tough part was
that these three were sore about
something; each had a grudge
enemy for getting him into such a
mess.
But the war was over and there
was nothing else for our soldiers
to do but to pack up and go home
with their company. Before leav-
ing, however, they managed to get
lost from their outfit and wandered
into Germany.
In Germany the fun started, they
were mistaken for the army of &C.
cupation and many and strange
were the things that happened. viii
not tell you all about it, for it might
take the edge off of your fun when
you see the picture, for here is a
picture that we most earnestly
wish you to see if you wish to get
some real hearty laughs.
The three responsible for most of
the fun are Conrad Nagel, George
Cooper and Bert Roach. the three
modern musketeers, who wandered
off on a little occupation trip of
their own into Germany. Claire
Windsor is the Baroness who saves
the three from a serious ending
to their affair and in the end wins
the heart Of one Of the trio. Tom
O'Brien, who is remembered as
Bull" in the big Parade" is
present as the very hard top SER
geant.
Included on the bill are orchestra
numbers by Emil Seidel and his
orchestra, song by Tade Dolan,
news reel and comedy.

If You Wish to Bid Again,
Name Lower Valued
Suit,
BY Milton G.. Work

The pointer for today is:
A bidder who has shown two suits
and who wishes to bid again, should
name the lower valued.
Last week these articles paid care
full attention to the various phases
of bidding two suffers two FIVE card
ers) and semi-two-suiters zone five
carder and one four carder). Today
article refers to q continuation of
the bidding when two suits have
been shown; tomorrow the subject
will be changed.
Suppose South Dealer) holds:
Sp.: Ace-King- Queen-x-x. Ht.: Ace
King10-x-x. Dia.: Ace-x. Cl,: K and
that the bidding be;
Round South West North East
L. Spade Pass Pass 2 Clubs
2. Hearts Clubs Pass Pass
The question is. what should South
bid on the third round? North's
pass on the second round showed
that although he knew that he was
facing q two-suiter-a situation in
which a player is justified in assist
ing with less strength than is other
wise requisite-he nevertheless did
not have a raise for either Hearts
or Spades. But in spite OF that,
North may have a distinct prefer
ence and South, on the third roundA
should bid the lower-valued Heart Y
rather than the higher-Valued Spades,
so that North can show his prefer
ence without increasing the contract.
When South makes his third bid, he
should not be led astray by any such
fallacious reasoning as: North by
declining to bid on the second round,
has shown that he has no help, and
therefore 1 had better bid my strong
er suit-Spades. In spite Of the
difference in the strength Of South's
suits, the combined hands undoubt-
eddy will work better at Hearts if
North be even one longer in Hearts
than in Spades and it is vitality i'm
portant that the raiseless North be
given a chance to show his prefer
ence without increasing the size OF
the contract. South, by bidding
three Hearts on the third round, Of
fers to North the opportunity to pass
if he prefer Spades; but if South
bid his stronger suit-Spades-on
the third round, North if he prefer
Hearts and wishes to show his pref
erence, will have to bid four. This
is a situation the importance of
which many players overlook.

How did kick the bucket" get the
significance of death?
The expression now incorporated
in vernacular slang had a perfectly
legitimate origin. The Egyptian
word for kick is "khekh," meaning
to recoil, to return, to send back.
Therefore to khekh the bucket in the
Egyptian hieroglyphics indicates or
symbolizes the return Of an empty
bucket-namely, a body without life.
The Egyptians used the bucket con-
stantly in their hieroglyphics as
symbol of death.
