RADIO ADVERTISING
PROBLEM DISCUSSED

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 24.-(R-Aft-
er day and half of preliminary
speeches on various questions con-
corning the radio industry, the Mid
west Radio Congress was prepared
today for the more spirited final ses-
sions.
The problem Of radio advertising
was paramount today. Opinion on the
question remained divided, with man
ufacturers and dealers contending
that radio advertisers take unfair ad-
vantage of other advertisers and With
the listeners taking half way posi-
tion on the question.
The listeners contend that Ger
tain amount of advertising was per-
missible. but they added it should
not be permitted after p. m. They
defended tf. direct advertising dur
ing the daylight period on the ground
that such advertising is necessary II
the stations are to obtain revenue
with which to maintain quality pro-
grams
To Appoint Delegates
1t seemed certain that the congress
would adopt a comprehensive plan for
the protection of radio sometime late
today, and that the National Radio
Association, which is the 0utgrowth Of
the congress, would prepare to send
delegates to Washington as soon as
the new radio commission is appoint
ed for the purpose of presenting the
plan Of the listeners to the commits
sion.
Francis Staustell, president of the
association, contended that the listen
ers were prepared to fight for strict

TWO BODIES FOUND IN
HULK OF BURNED TANKER

New York, Feb. 2A-tR- Two
bodies were found today in the hulk
of the burned British oil tanker,
Black Sea. which is beached on Red
Hook Flats. in the harbor off Brook
lyn.
The bodies. presumably those of
seamen, were found on the portsidc
Of the steamer. The starboard side
Of the craft was still red hot, as a
result of yesterdays explosion off
Bayonne, N. j., and firemcn and po-
liccmen were unable to determine
whether there were other bodies in
the wreckage
The tanker, which contained 10000
barrels Of naphtha, was beached after
fleets of tugs had towed her ablaze
three miles across NewNYork harbor,
removing her from proximity to
scores of loaded tanks on shore and
tankers in the waters of Kill Van
kull.
The Black Sea was steel vessel,
$40 feet long, AZ feet broad and 22

KELLOGG IS OPPOSED TO
SOUTH AMERICAN JUNkET

Washington, Feb. Z4.-l%)-After
consulting with President Coolidge,
Secretary Kellogg has written Chair
man Borah indicating that the ad-
ministration sees no necessity for the
projected visit to Mexico and Mic
aragua by the senate foreign rela-
tiOns committee.
The secretary, who is i'll at his
home here, said the committee could
obtain full information regarding
the situation in those two countries
from two state department officials
who were directed to appear before
the committee at its session today.
They are Stokley Morgan, chief of
the departments Latin American di-
vision, formerly American charge in
Nicaragua, and Williamson S. Powell,
Jr., of the Mexican division.
Secretary Kellogg's communication
apparently did not cause Chairman
Borah to change his mind as to the
esirability of his committee going
to Central America during the recess
Of congress, and he was prepared to
press for action on his resolution.

ENGLAND WILL
SEND CRUISER
TO NICARAGUA
To BE Used as place of Ref.
uge' For British Subjects
in Danger Zone

London, Feb. 24.-tR)-The British
government has decided to send u
cruiser to Nicaragua as a "place of
refuge" for British subjects endang-
cred by the civil warfare going on
there, it was officially stated today.
Dispatch of the cruiser. it is un-
derstood, does not indicate depar-
ture in the fundamental British policy
in Central America nor change in
attitude toward the Monroe Doctrine.
Decision to send a cruiser came
after the British charge d'affaires in
Managua notified his government that
the American minister could not
guarantee to protect British lives and
property in case Of renewed street
fighting.
Officials emphasize the British gov
ernment's gratitude for the assistance
given by the American government
in the past in Nicaragua, and state
that Great Britain will continue to
rely on this assistance. 1t is presum-
ed the cruiser will go to Bluefields,
on the Atlantic coast. where it will
be available to British refugees in
case Of trouble.

Washington, Feb. 24-P)- The 700

who daily and nightly fill the ether
with an admixturc of jazz, health and
Bible talks, speeches, travclogues,
operas and bedtime stories, are ut
last under the guiding hand of the

President Coolidge late yesterday
fixed his signature to the bill whicn
establishes government control over
all channels of interstate and for

remains only the selection of the
five-man commission provided in the
measure and senate approval of it's
makeup before actual supervision Of
the air begins.
Several hundred names of men
from every section Of the country

Introducing several new players.
"Joyland." the current medium Of
the Strand Players, caught the
fancy of two big crowds at that
house yesterday. Leo Stevens has
departed for Chicago, and VIII
Grant, the new producer, can be
credited with success in his open
ing effort. Bud Brewer, who makes
his opening bow with the company,
proves a very pleasing addition.
His songs and dances are among
the best things on the program.
Irwin Hamp and Lew Lewis are
.well supplied with good comedy
material this week, and they shoot
1t over in a manner that scores
gales of laughter. William Grant
and Ruth Fair have a character
dance that's a WOW. Tereta
Schaeffer leads the girls in the
Black Bottom. Ruth Stevens
sings Hawaiian Night" with q
sweet voice. Earl Root, Bilee La
Monte and Rose Stevens are
others with pleasing numbers.
Miss Mary Deery, one of the
st. Patrick Players, is feature,
and makes one of the hits Of the
show with her sweet voice and
clever dancing.

Only in one respect did the pro-

occasional use OF painted scenery,

and spires.
The Siberian scenes are splendid
