sons for this. There is one come
dian in this outfit, and he is the
drummer. He has rare ability on
the drums, and in addition to that
he is comedian of striking and
original personality. He has many
tricks, and they are all legitimate
and are blended into the entire fab
ric of the organization in such a
way that he never appears to be
forcing his comedy. The trouble
with so many bands is that all Of
the members attempt to be comedi-
ans when they would look better
as pallbearers at the funeral Of
King Comedy. Not so with the
Warnings. The comedy work of this
one member is so refreshing, so
clean and yet SO legitimate a part
of the whole proceedings that his
efforts only increase the individual
value of the entire band.
This band is blessed with ar
engagements of musical scores that
are masterpieces. Study for ex-
ample the way that Fred Waring
directs his orchestra through "Ain't

nan bought securities from corporation. He
became very much dissatisfied with his investment
and wanted to get his money back. He discovered
that the corporation had failed to make reports to
the State corporation commission as required by law,
before selling securities in the State. On that ground
he commended that the sale Of the securities was
illegal and asked court order which would permit
him to get his money back The corporation which
had sold the securities commended that its failure to
make reports required by the corporation commission
involved a question to be settled between the cor
poration and the commission, and that failure to
make the reports not valid ground for court
order requiring return to the purchaser Of money
paid for the stock.

Man Still Very Weak

After eleven days of fruitless eff
fort, the Pacific search is aban-
doned.
1t seems incredible that no trace
Of three airplanes, five men and one
woman should have been found.
Certainly no one expected such a
barren result when the search be-
gan.
Man is still very small, very weak
and very Insignificant in spite of all
his mechanical triumphs. Individ-
ually, he has not grown in strength
or stature. His progress rests on
the fact that he has learned how to
accumulate ideas and profit by
cooperative work.
Set him apart on desert island,
drop him in the sea or deprive him
Of air for five minutes and he be-
comes the same kind of a helpless
animal he was 10000 years ago.

A Magma Carta for Newspaper Readers

This may sound as dry as dust, but it is of first
American public m particular.
There shall be no PREFERENTIAL right in official
news reads resolution passed by the international
press conference at Geneva EVERY newspaper
agency, press bureau and correspondent shall have
equality Of access to and transmission of such news"
This is new magma carta for mankind the word
over at least for the reading public. It is not likely
to revolutionze distribution bang off, but it is
the beginning Of the end of an era which had for
its slogan, the public be boobed.
Many governments particularly in the old world,
are in the habit of monopolizing official news-the
doings of the government and responsible officials
They have done so mainly by creating an "offciaP
news agency by substituting or otherwise controlling
some news agency. Thus they could influence public
opinion pretty much any way they liked through the
manipulating the news upon which public opinion
is based.
1t is easy to see that such system can, and often
Does lead to the most alarming abuses international
misunderstanding, wars, become easy by means
of this medieval practice of doping public sentiment
Against this state Of things the United Press has
been waging stubborn war for years. Now the first
stage of the battle, at least has been won as indi-
Gated by the passage of the above resolution framed
by committee of international journalists, of which
Karl A. Bckel president of the United Press was the
American member
The League of Nations, under whose auspices the
press conference is being held will now inform its
members Of the action taken And though the league
can not force governments to live up to its recon-
mendations governments which are members must
do SO they expect to remain in good standing before
the league and before the world.
OF course there will be considerable opposition in
those countries whose governments have made habit
Of tricking the public by Of their subsidized
news agencies And no doubt, there will be evasions
or attempts at evasion. But in the end they must
play the game as umpired by the league. Not the
league perhaps, but public opinion will ultimately
force them all to toe the mark
If news of great public moment is open to all, and
the means Of news distribution by wireless, tele-
graph or cable is open without discrimination to all
correspondents and agencies alike the vicious art of
cooring news to suit the occasion will soon disappear
The international press conference at Geneva is
not getting any eight-colun headlines in the papers
But news were rated according to its ultimate
effect on the worlds billion and half Of mankind,
they'd probably be getting out extras.
Official or government news and the means OF
distributing it on basis OF absolute equality-this,
as new international policy backed up by the entire
world we repeat, is for newspaper readers a. new
magma carta They have right to the truth What
has just been done at Geneva will help them to get it,

SAYS:
orr Ability to Make and
DO Things Depends on
Our Ability to Preserve
and Exchange Ideas.


The allied army in the Rhineland
has been reduced from 10000 to
$4,000 men.
England proposed great reduc-
ton, but France would not stand
for it.
Lord Cecil is reported to have
said that Frances attitude was an
outrage on the spirit Of Locarno,
which guarantees her security, and
that the army of occupation should
not only be reduced, but wiped out.
If France aaid the bill for MAIN
ing this army she might be more
amenable to Lord Cecil's view, but
that is a burden for Germany to
bear, and France is not III a mood to
tighten it, though she could easily
get bigger reparation payments by
doing so.
Bigger reparation payments
would make 1t easier for her to take
care of the American debt.

DAYTIME PHOTOGRAPHS OF
LIGHTNING


Nearly all photographs of light
ningare taken at night. The shutter
of the camera is simply open until
a flash occurs and is then closed.
If the flash happens to be in the
field of the camera its image will
be registered on the plate.
Cassells Encyclopaedia of Photog-
graphy," published in 1911, says:
Lightning cannot be photographed
during the daytime, as, however dark
the sky it, the sun is behind it and
actinic enough to have an action on
the dry plate and make the flash
invisible"
A year after the above statement
was published it was proved to be
erroneous by Mr.. A. Steadworthy,
of tho Dominion Observatory ~
Ottama, Canada. On July 10, 1912,
in the middle of the afternoon, he
took several excellent photographs
of lightning. He used a combination
of aperture and plate that, with the
amount of daylight prevailing at
the time, would have required six
seconds to photograph the land
scape. If he had given his pictures
this exposure the daylight would
have obliterated the image of any
lightning flash occurring during the
interval. He therefore exposed a
number of plates about the time he
judged, from the average frequency
of flashes, that one was likely to,
occur, and gave each picture All
exposure of only two seconds. OF
seventeen plates, three showed
pictures of lightning equal in quality
to the average photograph taken at
night.
