HOLIDAY SPIRIT

Interference by crowds OF un-
invited programs when one of
them Is induced to make a land.
ing in q receiving set was about
the only real annoyance for dial
twisters last night. Broadcasts
were hurting through the atmOs-
phere without much hindrance
and from all sections. There
was some little noise, here and
there, but not enough to inter.
fere with brOadcasts Of ordinary
power. Code interference was
again noted In all sections Of
the broadcast channels.
Whethre or not programs sent
without objectives-or rather with
out explanation to mark the course
of them to a definite idea--is be-
coming a rather serious question
with radio listeners, as two con.
spicuous examples were in evident e
last evening-both of them of ths
super program class ard both filled
with fine entertainment.
The first was the new Dodge
half hour from WRC in which an
nouncements are cut to a skeleton
lied minimum and the listener has
no idea what he is hearing unless
the number Is vocal and the singers
are especially good enunclators OF
the words they sing. The Dodge
entertainment is as fine as any.

the suggestion is made that lis
sponsors try the experiment Of an.
nouncing it fully though concisAly
and get the reaction OF the listeners
on both methods. Wordy descrlp.
tions by ignorant announcers are
unwelcome bores, of course, but
there is a happy medium between
this sort of thing and no announce.
ment at all.
The second program was of an
entirely different character and
lack OF announcement OF what Il
was all about was due largely ia
lack of time. This was the broad.
cast by the WIZ chain of the Chi.

But the second act of the opera
was started with no explanation
OF what was going on or what
the music meant, the result being
that the listener heard the mosi

and some great singing without
the slightest idea of it's intent oil

CONFERENCE HERE
Heads of u. S., British,

Meet at Treasury.

BELIEVED DISCUSSED
Sale of Railway Bonds Held as
Security for Reparations Also
Reported Considered.

A more even distribution of the
worlds supply of monetary gold. half
,.Hich is now held by the United
States, Is believed to have been one
of the questions discussed at the
Treasury Department today In a con.
ference attended by heads Of the
banking systems of Great Britain.
France, Germany and the United
States.
While the exact nature Of the con-
ference was veiled in secrecy, 1t is un-
derstood that the possibility Of float
ing on the financial markets of the
world the German railway bonds. held
by the Preparations Commission as Sc
curity for the payment of German
reparations, also was discussed.
Coming from New York City, where
they had been in conference for sew
eral days with American financial
leaders, the foreign bank officials went
into conference with American officials
in the office of d. r. Crissinger. gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve Board.
They were later to be guests, along
with other American officials, at a
luncheon at l o'clock rendered by Mr..
Crissinger at the Willard Hotel.
Figures i'm Conference.
Leading figures in the conference
were Sir Montagu Norman, governor
of the Bank of England; Charles Rist,
deputy governor of the Bank of
France; H. j. Elmar Schacht, presi-
dent of the Deutches Reichbank of
Berlin; Mr.. Crissinger of the Federal
Reserve Board and Benjamin Strong,
governor of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
The foreign bankers in addition to
comforting with American financiers in
New York. also had the advantage of
the presence of the Undersecretary
of the Treasury of the United States,
Ogden l.. Mills. who has just returned
from passing three days with them.
Conferences among some of these
were expected TO take place prior to
the luncheon
Other guests of Gov. Crissinger at
the luncheon were to include Under
secretary Mills. Assistant Secretary
Carl T. Schunneman and Seymour
Lowman. The prospect of selling the
German railway bonds has been agi-
tated off and on for several years
1t was a question of international
considerable when S. Parker Gill
bert. agent general for reparations
visited the United States about two
years ago. The world market for
these bonds, however, never has been
considered sufficient by officials in
charge to warrant floating them.
Bond Sale Recommended.
The sale of these bonds was rec
commended in many quarters as the
means of providing cash for paying
German repara tions in advance.
The question of the worlds stock
Of gold and it's uneven distribution
was officially discussed in the latest
issue of the Federal Reserve Bull
letin, which showed the United
States had at the end of May more
than $4,000, 100000.

A report that three youths tossed
quarters to scrambling crowd of

led to trail of free and easy spend

nection with the theft of $1,000 from

Mansfield of the same precinct made
the arrests, stated that more than
$1,10O was found concealed in a brace
which Garnett Power wears on his
right leg. cunningly tucked in between
a leather strap and the skin.
All of the boys made a clean breast
of the affair, he said, young O'Dwyer
confessing TO be the ringleader. About
three months ago, he said, they got
$500 from Arata's room, and have been
rifling it regularly ever since.
In addition to the cash which has

expected to be recovered, police located
an automobile in a garage near Balti-

here by the boys, who made a down
payment of $40S and then bought

selves last night it was found that they
were spending the evening with a girl
companion at Glen Echo. Lieut.. Sui
livan and Precinct Detective Mansfield
