NEGRO ACTOR
MAKES A HIT
Paul Robson came to loud speak

with Major Andrew White as his
introducer and sponsor. To those.
who have never seen or heard this
famous negro actor his radio activl-
ties were a revelation. A scholar,
who wears a Phi Beta Kappa key,
an athlete who made the All-Amer-
lea Valhalla as one of the greatest
ends of his time and an actor who
created a sensation, Robson is also
singer with a very deep, rich
baritone, almost a bass, voice, which
he uses with the ability of a must
cal artist.
His appearance last night was
really a protean exhibition because
he first discussed football and COM
mented on the new rules of the
game with a sound philosophy OF
college sports. Then he talked of
acting and his career on the stage
and finally sang tire spirituals
with most unusual effect.

DR.. Edward Berry, Of Johns Hop

In Plumley's Memory

Charles Sheers Of The Akeley Herald-Trbune re-
turned recently to his native heath. and the trip to
Fargo inspired him with idea that may bear
fruit. He visited the grave of II. c. Plumley one
Of the best beloved Of North Dakota's pioneer ed.
itors. His kindness was an outstanding virtue and
in his various posts with The Forum and Morning
Argus, he able to help many young men along
in their vocation.
In the Fargo cemetery is very modest marble
marker and Mr.. Sheers together with some OF the
other Forum boys who served in the stirring days OF
North Dakota journalism, have conceived the idea
of more fitting memorial for good man and
so loyal friend
A committee composed Of Plumley boys" has
been named to promote the worthy project On this
committee are w. II. Hassing, publisher of The Carl
ton Vidette; r. c. Henry of The Duluth Herald. anc
Mr.. Shcers.
Here is hoping "Plum's" many newspaper assO
cates wherever they located will assist in erect

HEALTH SERVICE -
HOW TO TREAT
SHOCK 4

pulse Is rapid and weak, and may
not be perccptible at the wrist.
When the condition of shock is
observed send for q doctor At once.
Place the person in q comfortable
position with his head low, unless
there is . fracture of the skull or
severe hcmorrhage from blood ves-
sells of the head or face.
Remove from the patients mouth
all foreign bodies. such as false
teeth, tobacco or gum. Wrap him
in warm blankets or in warm cloth
ing. Place well-wrapped hot-water
bottles or hot bricks around the pa
tient.
Stimulating Heart
A light hot-water bottle, wrapped
in cloth or paper and placed over the
heart is good stimulant.
If he is conscious, give aromatic
spirits Of ammonia--a teaspoonful in
half 4 glass of water. moderately hot
coffee. hot tea. or hot water.
If the patient - unconscious do
not give him anything by mouth out
pour aromatic spirits of ammonia on
cloth and place it under his nose.
This should be tested by the person
rendering assistance by holding it
under his own nose before giving the
treatment to the patient.
Although shock is dangerous and
commonly follows injuries, it must
not be forgotten that the person suf-
fering from shock may require treat
ment for something still more dam
gerous; as for example severe bleed
ing which must be checked.

Radio Control

Radio broadcasting has more than static and at
mospheric conditions to contend with The squeaks
and howls associated with radio not confined to
mechanical conditions alone. Legal processes deal
ing with station interference, wavelength allotment
and brcadcasting regulations seriously handi-
Gaping broadcasting.
At resent, mere than 500 applications for broad
cast licenses are listed on Department of Commerce
books. Many applicants have already spent tnou-
sands of dollars for station and studio equipment
and must remain silent. One prominent broadcaster
was SO bold az to pirate wavelength because he
believed that $4,000 tied up in roadio broadcast
equipment justified use of the air.
The Department of Commerce has discontinued
assigning waveengths because under the con-
dtons which brcadcasing is forced to operate there
not only are no more waveengths but there are too
many stations, creating interference and IN many
cases making reception impossible.
What broadcasting needs now is method allow
inc hundreds, or even thousands. of stations to
broadcast at the same time without interfering with
che another. However, until such equipment or
process is possible regulation by the government is
the only means Of control.
Congress is debating two principal methods for
regulation One would put the power of broadcast
control in the hands of commission composed OF
several men, The other would give all of the power
to one man, who, ut the present time, would be
Hoover.
With all of broadcastng's difficulties and compli-
cations, several men having power of regulation
could easily make matters worse by adding Legal
rroblems red tape and personal opinions to the STU
alton One man, who understands the situation, car
do more to bring harmony among the broadcasters
1t is a job requiring unity OF control. congress
should let man run it.

Mr.. Lewis and the Pulitzer Prize

(MlnncupOtlS JOuTnaI)
Is it possible that Sinclair Lewis, squirting the

lieves that such awards put braks the art Of
beautiful letters? Or can it be that Mr.. Lewis
shrewdly sees that his scorn will get for ARROW

that would have accrued from grateful acceptance
of the honor?
II Mr.. Lewis actually believes that such incentives
to good work the annual Pulitzer przes put upon
writer's any compulson Ito become safe polite obedi
ent and sterile" then we think this gifted of
Minnesota may not possess the extraordinary men,
tally with which the reading public has been cred
iting him.
Any novel play of such merit as even to BE-
considered by the Pulitzer judges is likely to have
already piled up royalties quite eclipsing the rela-
lively paltry thousand dollars that such award in
wolves. The late Joseph Pulitzer tried to do some
thing really worth while to stimulate healthy fvalry
among American writer's when he provided in his
will. for these annual prizes. Mr. Lewis seems to
