WHO'S WHO

Jeanne Beaufort, beautiful daughter
of Virginia planter, has lost her
father and two brothers in the Civil
War. (The year 1861 She swears
to
Mrs. Wetmore, her aunt, that she
will carry out the Biblical injunction
While at Richmond she meets
Henry Morgan, debonaire young
officer, who falls in love with her. She
repels his advances. She in engaged
as spy for the Confederate govern
ment and urged to use all the wiles
and power of her sex to find one
Parson Kennedy and bring him
within the Southern lines. 1t is plan
ned to have her make headquarters
with a family of southern sympathy
in Washington. Jeanne learns tel
egraphy and other technical branches
of her new calling. And clad as Il
boy, often in the Blue of the North,
she makes her way through the lines.
She learns of an organization of eleven
Union spies and of their meeting place
in a Richmond loft. As she overhears
the leaders address the masked men
seated about table, Jeanne is dis
covered and dragged into the room.
The leader unmasks as he threatens
her with death, but is dissuaded from
shooting her by the suggestion from
one of the men that one Of their
number marry her. She consents and
when one of the masked men vOlun-
teers to marry she refuses and claims
the right to choose.
She rejects the volunteer and Sc
lects the one who suggested the mar
riage. Him she names Irony" To
her surprise the leader is no other
than Parson John Kennedy. lie per-

Later Jeanne learns that Morgan is
a spy.
To her surprise she receives letter
bearing the curious device she had
seen tattooed on her husbands arm.
The letter, ironical in its tone, shows
that her unknown husband Is still in
Richmond and knows the name and
identity of his wife! She cuts her
hair, stains her face and going to Bal
timore, assumes the name of
Alice Trent, not knowing such
person lived in Baltimore
An intoxicated man accosts Jeanne
and she is rescued by
Captain John Armitage, a young
Union officer whom she tells her as
sumed name.
Jeanne tells Morgan of the tattoo
mark and at her request he agrees
to abduct Parson Kennedy so that she
can question him about the names on
the marriage certificate. Kennedy
had, with the authority of a Secret
Service officer, directed that Armitage
watch him (Kennedy). Kennedy
Is carried away and bound, but as
Jeanne is questioning him, Armitage
rescues him. Jeanne escapes.

The Radio Situation

With the house and the senate apparently farther
apart than ever in their conception Of proper leg
islaton for the control Of radio broadcasting the
national radio coordinating committee has sent a
long appeal TO the members Of both houses of con-
gress urging the enactment Of kind Of an
emergency radio control bill. prohibiting the issu-
ance Of station licenses and turning the actual
troll Of the ether over federal radio commits sion
or the department Of commerce. pending thor
ough survey of the needs Of the radio broadcasting
industry.
Without taking up the cudgels for any Of the
various bills that have been advocated for the
troll Of what has now become more than q mcr.
purveyor OF amusement it is yet possible to join
with the national radio coordinating committee in
asking congress to do something to relieve a really
chaotic condition in the air. Stations have jumped
their waves and increased their power, with the re-
suit that in many areas proper reception is impos
sible due to heterodyne whistles created by two
stations using wavelengths of almost the same value
This condition is not only very bad just from
the standpoint of the listener. but it is even
deadly to the broadcaster. The life of broadcast
ing is and is bound to be. the advertising fees that
can be charged for the buying appeal to the ult-
mate consumer OF what value is advertising
space in a radio station If that station cannot be
listened to in comfort because of a whistle that de-
stroys the reception?
Under proper regulation it is possible to iron
out many Of these difficulties. The department of
commerce had things in fair order for the time i.
was regulating broadcasting and what is needed is
some kind Of immediate emergency regulation that
will restore order pending a review of the whole
situation and adequate plans for the future of a
great public service.

Traffic Lights

The regulation of traffic by Of coorcl
lights seems to be very practical, having been
proven so by numerous tests under very con-
ditions. Yet il is not all certain that the best
method of operation has been achieved. In fact.
after observation of various systems in force it
would seem that the synchronzed method, where
all lights are turned. off and together, where all
traffic either goes stops together, is not the
most efficient scheme. Too much time is wasted
in stops by following this idea.
What seems to be a much better plan is what
is called the cripple" system which enables
going 25 miles hour to travel indefinitely and
never be held up by red light. This is accom-
pshcd by alternate one-way streets and regu-
lating the lights each way that a car proceeds
at Is miles hour the green light the next
block is automatically given the green signal he
approaches the crossing.
Thus a person could start off a green light
and 20 a block. As he reaches the next corner the
light flashes green and he proceeds. When, he
reaches the next the light flashes green and
he goes on-and across the city. The lights
are arranged that they are always aiding traffic
and not 'buoking it." Thus the ripple system of
control would seem to be the next logical step ic

Editorial Comment
Clusters Last Stand"
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The traditional account of Clusters Last Stand, y
when General George A. Custer and his 260 follow
ers, as history tells us, were overwhelmed by num-
bers and massacred by Indians in the battle Of the
Little Big Horn in 1876, is shattered, if new ver-
sion contained in article in Hearsts Internaton-
al-Cosmopolitan for June, is authentic
The article is by Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance,
Of the Blackfeet Blood tribe who says he recently
learned from Indian survivors Of the battle that
Custer was not killed by the Indians, but committed
suicide because of fear Of torture by the attackers
when he found he the lone white survivor The
manner Of his death has been kept secret by the
Indians, he says, because they feared for their
peace in raising discussion
Pakadoshen, Sitting Bulls chief scout and aid is
quoted as saying that Clusters former friendship
with Sitting Bull caused the latter to order Clusters
life spared but that Custer did not know this, and
turned his own gun upon himself. believing that
otherwise he would be tortured to DEATH
It is hard to believe that man whose bravery
had been proved as often as had General Clusters
would weaken even under such circumstances Re-
CARELESS Of the truth Of Chief Buffalo Chids story,
We prefer to think Of Custer a. dying by the bullets
Of the Indians rather than by his own hand. i.

United States Autos

s More than 22,OO0,00O motor vehicles were reg
istered in the United States in 1925, according to
reports received from state registration agencies
Eby the bureau Of public roads Of the United States
department of agriculture. This means that one
person out of every five men, and children
lin this country theoretically owns automobile.
OF the total 19,237.171 passenger automobiles
and ,222 were motor trucks and road tractors.
q Some idea Of the magnitude Of the registration
abusiness itself may be gained from the total re-
Qceipts from the licenses for these cars total Of
428S, 2S2 1862 in 1926, compared with $26o619,-

Il is easy to see that automobile experts are
probably correct when they say that the United
