meeting at the Hotel Bond, Hart ford, Thursday. The session will be an all day affair and it is expected that the gathering will send a reso- lution to the disqualification com- mittce of congress at Washington in favor of the retention of Allingtown hospital, the discontinual which is being considered by the government.
 It Is thought q significant fact by Legion officials that the New Eng lang meeting is being held the same day that a committee of the national congress meets to consider the 1e- gion's plea for an appropriation for the retention of Allingtown hospital. Ex- State Commander Jackson would not speak about this fact today but he admitted that the meeting would keep in touch with the hearing at Washington. It is expected that tele- grams will be sent to New Eng lands representatives in congress urging them to do their bit toward this adopted legislative child of the American Legion.

RADIO MOVIES IN NEAR FUTURE SURF
This Is Prediction Of Prof.
 AleXanderSOn

New York, Jan. II P}-The Amer ican family of the not far distant future is promised radio movies to add to it's evenings entertainment.
 Radio engineers In convention here base thei, hopes for the development of the new science Of television on a crude apparatus ex- hibited by Dr. r. W. Alexanderson. consulting engineer of the General Electric Company and of the Radio Corporation of America. which caused seven little spots of light to gyrato and blend across a screen.
 Demonstrating his apparatus be- fore the institute of radio engineers Dr. Alexanderson by rotating these light dots rapidly caused the en- tire screen to be covered by lines Of light of different intensity.
 The remaining problem, he ex- plained, Is to modify these lines by a reflected image so that the vari- ous tone values will be projected by electrical processes to the carrier wave and through the receiving ln- strument to the screen.
 Radio photography is now an ac- compished fact, he said. A single photograph, five or six inches. can now be sent through the air in two minutes by the dot and dash sys- tenn. Dr. Alexanderson said, how ever, that he is experimenting with another method which under ideal conditions produces smooth repro duction of a photograph at great CT speed.
 By Dr. Alexanderson's method the radio photographers are made as Ii a brush or pen. vibrated by electr'c impulses were drawn rapidly up and down the picture, registering black or grey or white.
 By this method. Professor Alex anderson said, he has broadcast three pictures from Schenectady to his laboratory two miles away. They were pictures of A inches and were made in two minutes.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 11.-This Thursday will be Connecticut day in Washington, D. c. when the Ameri- can Legion will make plea before the hospitalization committee of congress for the retention Of Alllng- town hospital in New Haven, Con- necticut. Adjutant Edward White ot New Haven and Tom Hughes ot Pennington will officially represent the state department of the legion, and take with them proof, in the form of resolutions. from every American Legion post, every county department. the state department, as well as the national department Of ihe Legion that all the Legionnaires want Allingtown to remain In New Haven.
 The representatives will explain that the Legion wants Allingtown to remain where it is for the primary reason that the tuberculosis sufferers themselves do not wish to be trans ferred.
 The members of the joint war veterans committee of congress Of which the hospitalizatioD committee is branch have been deluged with resolutions. telegrams and letters from Legionnaires all over the coun- try, the majority of them coming from Connecticut.
 Pressed for an opinion, Harry C. Jackson the Connecticut state com- mander when appearing before the capitalization committee just be- fore the last session adjourned said hat there is every possibility Of .Nlingtown remaining where it is, al- though he warned the Legionnairos not 10 let mp in their demands. The entire matter now remains for the disqualification committee 10 recom- mend to the appropriations commit toe that substantial amount be given for inc maintenance of Alling- town. and from activities around Washington at present, it appears hat the men from the Nutmeg state will leave no stone unturned tr assist the T. B. sufferers now at Allingtown and carry out theii wishes.

WANTS MEXICO 10
 HAVE HER CHANCE
American, After Studying Prob lens, Make Recommendations

Mexico City, Jan. Il tPs-MeNico should be given q chance to work out, her own program without inter- ference, in the opinion of Hubert c. Herring. leader of group of 40 Americans who have been studying conditions in Mexico.
 Before leaving for New York last night Mir. Herring said:
 "The Mexican government has a program. It is idle to attempt any appraisal of the land. oil or church situation without first attempting 10 understand the entire program. ! believe that Mexico should be given q chance to work out her program in her own way and without inter- ference.
 "Mexico should make an appeal 10 the United States chivalry. Mex ico is weaker than we with the ac- crued liabilities of 400 years of tyr amy. Mexico at present is balanc- ing her budget, building schools, roads and irrigation work. restoring the alienated rights of Indians. to right the wrongs of centuries. Who are we to deny her the right?
 Herein lies the peril of constant pressure and reiterated insistence upon legal rights-all this gives con- fort to those who would plunge Mex ico into bloody rebellion and en- courages those who would undo all the accomplishments of the Mexican revolution.
 "For the first time in 400 years, there is hope in Mexico. We cannot understand Mexico without going back to our own revolutionary days when men fought with courage which would not be denied and with a hope which saw beyond disorder and tyranny to democracy and paace.'

Through the efforts of several
girls enrolled at the Women's
College, University of Delaware,
says the Every Evening, it will
soon be known just what an in
vestigation of the legal status of
women in this state reveals.
''These girls are preparing es-
says on that subject for prizes
which have been offered by the
League of Women Voters. The
offer was made last May and the
essays must be completed by Oc-
tober. Through critical exami-
nation Of the laws any person
might learn, in a general way,
enough to give an answer to the
question propounded. However,
it should prove interesting to
know the background of our
present laws on the subject; /;
what prompted them; how they
have been construed by the
courts; also as to how each law
has worked out in practice. 1t
is likely that the diligence of the
girls who are making the inves-
tigation will result in some in
teresting reading matter, in ad-
dition to revealing a new light
on the subject. 1t is projects of
this sort that serve to interest
young people in political science,
American government and allied
economic subjects. Information
along these lines gained in youth
ought to serve the purpose of
not only developing new lines of
thought, but also ought to help
the students in their later lives.
1t ought also be reflected in their
subsequent attitude toward mat
ters of government, about which
many young people-and older
ones as welfare lamentably
vague. The subject to most
young people has no natural
charm; the interest must be cul-
tivated. Anything, therefore,
that will stimulate interest in
matters Of government is worth
while and should benefit the
state, as well as the individuals. "

Rural schools opened yester-
day and those in Smyrna began
to-day. Supt. Schantz and his
corps of teachers held a faculty
meeting yesterday afternoon
and outlined work for the year.
With a whole-hearted co-opera-
ton much good will no doubt be
derived. There has been long,
long vacation and neither teach
ers nor children have any cause
for complaint. The actual time
spent in school is very brief COM
pared with the entire year. New
er have children had SO much
done for them as is being done
today. The Delaware schools
have been improving, more
money is being spent than ever
and the State is trying to give
its children good start in life.
We sometimes wonder whether
either the children or their par
ents fully appreciate. Buildings
are being improved, the teachers
are better paid and every one
should be happy. Enormous
sums are spent for educational
objects. And the ultimate en-
deavor is to give a child, no mat
ter in what part of Delaware it
may live, an equal opportunity
with every other child for an ed
ucation.
