RADIO Commission
GIVES NEW PERMIT
License Is Granted Despite
Closed PoIicy-Test Suit
| Is Dropped.

Two significant announcements have
come from the Federal Radio Com
mission in the course of its current
consideration of individual broadcast.
ers' cases. One was in the form of a
decision permitting a new station to
go on the air in the face of a stated
policy to license no new stations. The
other was station WGL's second capt.
ulation after an unsuccessful turn
TO the courts.
Station WJKS, Gary, Ind. by the
decision just rendered. is to be grant
ed license and will share the FIRE.
Quency of 1920 kilocycles with WSBC,
Chicago: station WWAE, Chicago,
1ssponsored by Methodist interests, is
ordered off that frequency to make
way for WJKS, which is owned by an
owner of a Gary ballroom, who testi-
fed here last week that he proposed
to broadcast its music. The commits
sion promised different wave length
10 WWAE.
The case is significant because
WJKS had not been licensed before
the new radio law went into effect and
had submitted its application only two
days before President Coolidge signed
1t last February %. The commission
has repeatedly said that no new sta
tions will be licensed, but the plea of
the Gary station was on the grounds
that 1t would furnish Gary and north
ern Indiana programs Of a local char
acter.
Station VIGIL, which already has
h withdrawn its suit to test the consti-
nationality of the radio law, has now
withdrawn a second application for a
better frequency. The New York
broadcasting station was to be heard
this week on an application for $40
kilocycles with 1000 watts, already
assigned WPCH and WRNY, New
York; KFAB. Lincoln. Nebr., and
WTAW, State College, Tex. Once be-
fore denied a better wave and higher
power, the station went to the courts
only to drop its suit. Now again it
has decided to accede to the commits
sion's original assignments.
The commission in other decisions
denied the applications of three other
stations for changes in operating con-
ditions. They were WCAM, Camden,
N. j.; -WMBS, Harrisburg, Pa, and
WCGU, New York. The Camden sta.
ton asked better wave and higher
power at hearing, at which city Of
f1cials said they wanted to operate the
station to advertise their community
all over the country. The Harrisburg
station was refused share of the wave
already given to WPSC of Penn state
College and WBAK of the State of
Pennsylvania. The Coney Island sta.
ton was denied it's application, but
was shifted from 1920 to 1870 kiIo.
cycles by a special order.
Inc commission also announced that
kFWO, Catalina Island, Calf, has
been authorized to shift after August
IS from 1870 to 1000 kilocycles, using
$50 watts.

BERLIN. August i3.-The sale of

OF public morals, the Supreme Court

The court held that such an infrac.

purchase price were SO high as to

TO the buyer. possibly leading to a
generalization OF the interests Of pa

According to the Supreme Courts

Upon entering the lobby Of the audi

Public Bathing Pools.

While the National Capital, with
more than a half million inhabitants
faces the prospect of being another
Summer without public bathing pool
facilities, promise is given by the
Office Of Public Buildings and Parks
that the first two units in a chain of
pools which will eventually serve all
sections of the city are to be started
within a couple of. weeks and may be
completed for use in August.
The first units are to be con-
structed, for white, at r and First
streets northeast, between the Emery
grade school and the new Mckinley
High School; for colored, at Twenty
fourth and N streets northwest, near
the Rock Creek and Potomac Park
way intersection, adjacent to a new
colored junior high school. The de-
lay in commencing the work has
been occasioned by changes in the
plans which the Commission of Fine
Arts suggested. Congress appro-
priated s150,000 for these first two
units, each of which will consist of
bathhouse and two pools, one for
adults and one for children, with
sand beaches. Seven other locations
have already been designated when
appropriations are available.
1t is extremely regrettable that at
least these two pools could not be
ready for use throughout the Sum-
mer, even though they would have
served only a limited community
This delay, however. emphasizes the
great desirability of having the park
officials and the District Commits
sioners impress upon the Budget
Bureau and Congress and of having
both House and Senate shown the
real need for early appropriations to
carry out the entire program, which
Congress has already approved, of
distributing such model community
pools all over the District of
Columbia.
Now that the sites have been Sc
lected and the plans approved which
will be used with slight adaptation
to suit each particular location, there
Is no reason why there should be fur
Their delay in building all of the pools.
All that now holds up the program
is for Congress to make the appro-
priation of $4,000 for each of the
other seven units. This should be
done as deficiency item when Con-
gress gets back on the job, in order
that all Of these pools may be ready
for use during the Summer of next

An outstanding example OF the work

The vines have been pulled away, the
scrub pines thinned out, the fine

sun and a good road has been built.
Today it is a place we'll worth visit

throughout these reservations provid-
ed convenient places in which unde-
sirables might linger, to cook a meal

used by many equestrians and mixers
of both sexes and all ages. Every point
in it should be as natural as possible,
yet as open and as safe as expert
and industry can make it.

plans eventually to do a complete and
job along this line
wherever its jurisdiction extends. To
it and to Col. u. S. Grant, it's director,
will go grateful credit highly de-

Imperialism Is Seen
In u. S. Insular Aims
From the Topeka Daily CAPITAL.

From the Topeka Daily Capital.
Senator Willis Of Ohio, as chairman
Of the Senate committee on territories
and insular affairs-the territories of
the United States now all being insu-
lar except Alaska-probably repre-
sents the administration in selecting
from the various alternative recon.
mendations of the Ohio investigator
for the administration, Carmi Thomp.
son, for the handling of the Philip
pines in introducing a bill to set up
an independent department, a new
cabinet position, ''for the administra-
ton OF the Philippine Islands and
other overseas territory"
The Government Is still expanding,
therefore. 1t started with but five
departments, with cabinet heads

and OF War (Which included Navy,
Attorney General and Postmaster Cen
eral. Gradually it has enlarged, the
last addition having been made when
the Department of Commerce and
Labor was split into two departments.
There are now 10 Federal departments
with as many members of the cabinet
or department heads as advisers of
the President. If a Department of
Territories Is now added there will
be IL. At present the Department
OF the Navy has jurisdiction over all
the insular possessions excepting
Porto Rico and the Philippines, which
come under the Department Of War.
BY the Willis bill all will be consoli-
dated under a civil department of the
Government.
In his report Mr.. Thompson said,
among his recommendations:
THE Philippines may have pre-.
sented military problem In the early
days or American sovereignty, but In
ternal problems of the islands are now
primarily those of civil administration
and economic development. 7 found
no evidence of any Northumberland
Whicn would necessitate military con-
troll"
The words economic DEVELOPMENT"
IN the Thompson report reveal the
ultimate purpose, which is imperial
istic, or commercial. With the exten
sive natural resources of the Philin-
pines their economic DEVELOPMENT will
precede political detectives such as
the granting of the independence of
the islands to their inhabitants. While
this has long been the nominal policy
of the Government and has been
repeatedly pledged in party platforms
of both parties. 1t is as far from
realization as 20 years ago. The para
mount American interest in the
Philippines has come to be not
political but tobacco, timber, mining,
rubber and such tropical industries as
are adapted. to these islands.

Then you are going around in

description as any of this mind
state, with it's resultant inaction and
lack of production.
The physical being undoubtedly
has a great deal to do with it, The
power of mind over body is perhaps
no less than the hold the body has
upon the "old beam" as the English
boys in the short stories call the

A sieepless night, or q case of in
digestion, or the oncoming of a. bad
cold. any one of these, and any one
of multitude of other ills. can so
depress the whole system that circles
