Seeking a World Code For Radio

Radio that miracle which brings to us the rolllck-
ing jazz from summer roof cabaret, is not without
it's menace to world peace
1t is quite within the bonds of the possible that
nation might go to to stop anothers broadcasting
For instance, reports from Bucharest recently
stated that Moscow broadcasting criticisms of the
Runanian government and urging the people to revolt
The Rumanian minister of war, it was said ordered
"buzzer turned at the government radio stations
thus drowning Moscow.
This may or may not be true, but it shows what
can be done. It is certainly not uncomfortable that
country might force to put end to such stu
aton and the incident suggests just of hundreds
of problems the International Radio Congress, which
began its sessions at Washington yesterday will have
to tackle Opened by President Coolidge and presided
oveS by Secretary Of Commerce Herbert Hoover, it
is attended by 400 delegates representing sixty
nations scattered around the world
Gan instrument of such far-reaching magnitude
though with so great power for good to human
ity" the President declared in his opening remarks
naturally requires national and international regu-
laion and control to the end that there may be the
most perfect order and the largest possible uniformity
IN its use and enjoyment"
And that is what the conference will try to do
formulate for the first time rules for the use of the
air for radio purposes literally worldwide basis
Who may use the ether and how? Shall govern
nent or private concerns exploit radio communca-
tionS2 Can there be and should there be censorship
of the air at the frontiers? How shall wavelengths
be alocated to prevent country from spelling the
use of radio in neighboring countries? These and
hundreds of other problems will be discussed and
insofar possible international radio code formu-
lated to prevent what must otherwise become
paralyzng chaos.
It is likely the conference will sit for the next SIX
weeks. In fact the delegates will do we'll to get
through with their work in that time. For what was
sort of safety device at thirty years ago. some
thing to send out in the event of distress has
now become the biggest kind of big business, an
indispensable means of international communications
for which almost rules exist 1t is now in use the
world over for purposes of entertainment business

ona defense, and experts agree that the surface of
Ice possibilities has hardly been scratched.
To be there was a conference in London In
which radio called wireless and the business

Generals Executed

Whatever else one may think
Of them, these Mexican revolu-
tons leave little to the irnagina-
ton. No time is wasted with ges-
lures to the gallery and prelim-
mary bouts at the start, and one
is never at a loss to know what
becomes of the characters.
On Saturday, Generals Serrano
and Gomez paused in their cam
paign as presidential candidates
to stage a mutiny, in which sew
eral hundred soldiers were foolish
enough to participate.
Wednesday finds both of them
captured and executed, along with
several CT their unhappy follow
ers, and the nation resuming it's
daily grind as though nothing of
unusual consequence had hap
pened.

Lac and Justice

truck driver for an ice cream company. while
engaged in the company's business collided with
another automobile. The owner of the car which
he hit sued both him and the ice cream company
for damages claiming the accident was the result
OF his negligence. jury awarded damages against
the ice cream company account of the negligence
OF its truck driver, but assessed damages against
the truck driver. The company appealed from this
verdict contending that if the driver wasn't liable
for damages on account of his negligence the COM
pany for which he worked couldn't be. The man in
whose favor the verdict against the company was
rendered commended that it wasn't necessary for the
jury to award damages against the driver in order
to make valid the award against the company. He
argued that the two claims for damages separate
and the jury could decide them independently
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The New Jersey Supreme
Court OF Errors and Appeals held that the jurys
award of damages against the company was valid.
The court said that the fact that the jury had rem
dered no verdict against the copanys truck driver
did not invalidate the verdict against the company
the jury having right to withhold verdict against
the driver if 1t saw fit.

Teapot Dome Again

The famous Teapot Dome case
is scheduled for trial Oct II.
This is the one in which former
Secretary of the Interior Albert B.
Fall and Harry F. Sinclair are
charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government.
1t is similar to that involving
Fall and Doheny which was tried
some time ago, and which resulted
in an acquittal.
This case would have gone to
trial before, but for the absence OF
two witnesses, Harry M. Blackmer
and James E. O'Neil, who fled to
Europe in the hope of avoiding
such disagreeable duty.
Former Senator Altee Pome-
renee, who is one of the Govern
ment's counsels in this case and
who spent the summer in Europe,
says that he has seen both men
and that they will be on hand
when the trial opens.

Pleasant fCaSkets'

We used to call it coffin" but
now the correct designation is
"casket." What is quite as Signi-
ficant, it's form and color have
changed with the name.
Where it used to be black and
wedge-shaped, it is now of more
graceful design and Respondent
in rainbow hues.
Such, at any rate, are the de-
crees of fashion as presented to
the convention of funeral direc-
tors now in session at Chicago.
Things must be made pleasant
for the living" declares Secretary
Matthews in commenting on the
new style of caskets, and SO they
must, but there is hardly anything
in connection with funerals that
would do more to- make things
pleasant for the living than a re-
duction in their cost.

Gilliom and Whisky

If anything were needed to expose the ex-
/ tent of fanaticism in this State, it is now
furnished by the demand of personal enemies
Fand dry leaders in Adams County that At
torney General Gilliom be arrested for carrying
a bottle of whisky from Fort Wayne to the bed
side of dying sister.
The circumstances under which Gilliom
went to the hospital were known to newspaper
men in this city and to his friends.
His sister was in such condition that her
recovery, after an operation, was most doubt
full.
The grave anxiety of the brother was known
to his associates
When he suddenly left for the hospital, they
announced that he did not then believe that his
sister could recover.
And on his arrival he asked the physician
who had charge Of his sister if there was any
thing that could be done that would add to
her chances for life.
That doctor, reputable physician in his
community, replied that if he had whisky to
administer it might be of aid and perhaps turn
the chances of death to those of life.
LII was uQQer THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IHdC O1l-
lion drove fifty miles to Fort Wayne, asked
among his friends and finally secured pint
bottle Of whisky and carried it back to the
hospital.
The whisky was used The sister recovered.
The doctor says that without it the outcome
might have been differentiated the sister might
have died.
Now it is seriously proposed that Gilliom
be arrested and sent to jail for carrying that
whisky to the doctor who gave it to the sister
for whose life brother had such grave con-
Germ.
Reduced to it's simplest terms, brother is
to be sent to Jail for doing what a doctor said
was necessary to save the life of his sister.
Of course, the people know that this is not
the crime for which even the very fanatical
people of Adams County want him sent to Jail.
His crime is that he has torn off the mask
of hypocrisy from politicians of this State and
demanded that the super government consist
ing of the Ku-Kux Khan and the Anti-Saloon
League be displaced and that the people again
take over their own government.
Had he been less vigorous in his attacks
on super government, he could, as have many
others who have given lip service to the dry
cause, got as uproariously drunk as did the
legislators on the night they passed the Wright
dry law and no one would have objected.
Perhaps an arrest of Gilliom would be help
full. It would disclose the extent Of fanaticsm
It might even help to-awaken people to the
character of leadership which has rome nm
questioned.

Thnmb-Na
Sketches

Rays of the early morning sun
crept slowly over the housetops and
finally came to rest on a small Ford,
settled discensolately against a curb
stone.
Across its weatherbeaten and
dented back was painted a saucy
caption:
II Do Not Choose to Rum
Cuddled around its steering wheel,
with his head on his arm, was
curly-haired young man, sound
asleep.
1t was the third night he had
spent in such fashion. He was
disheveled and much in need Of a
bath and clean clothes. He had
started out brightly enough in his
little Ford for the big city. He had
had visions Of returning home in a
Packard within a few months, but
as yet work had oluded him.
Out of gas. his little car had re-
manned parked in the same place
for three days-in front of a home
or the south side. 1t was a girl, COM
ing out of the house on her way to
work, who awakened him on this
third morning.
Whats the matter2 Down on
your luck?" she asked.
The young man rubbed sleepy
eyes.

NJ. E..
TRACY
SAYS: !
In No Phase of Life, Per-
haps, DO We Tolerate
Such Ineficiency, Such
DilJy-Dalyin and Such
Unsatisfactory Results
as IN the Administration
of Justice.

In an article now being dis
tributed by the League to Abolish
Capital Punishment, Warden Lew
is E. Lawes, of Sing Sing, says that
since electrocution was legally
established in New York thirty
nine years ago, 400 men and six
women have been sentenced to
death.
Of that number, 260 men and
one woman were executed, while
So cases were reversed. OF these So
cases, 30 resulted in acquittal when
retired.
In one case, where a mans SEN
tence was committed only a few
minutes before he was due to die
in the electric chair, his innocence
was positively established later on.
Warden Lawes believes that so
long as such a percentage OF
error continues in our court find
ings, capital punishment is wrong.

Force of Habit

The habit of staging a revolu-
ton when things do not go to
suit them has become strong with
Mexican leaders.
The decade of weak govern
ment which ensued after the Ma
. dero revolution has given them
blind faith in the habit
They cannot seem to accustom
themselves to the idea that Obre-
gon established strong govern
ment in Mexico, and that Gales
has kept it up.
They talk of mutiny and revolt
as complacently now as they did
in the days of Huerta and Car
rama, seeming wholly unable to
understand that a real change has
taken place.
The worst of it is that many
Americans feel the same way,
finding it hard to realize that
Mexico has actually emerged from
her long season of chaos ard
bloodshed.

Hundreds of Art Lovers Visit the John Heron Art
Institute to See the Adams Me- mortal Exhibition

The j. Otis Adams Memorial Ex-
hibition was placed on view at the
John Heron Art Institute in Gal
leries TX and x on Sunday, Oct. 2,
and will remain throughout the
month.
The paintings are hung in double
rows in both galleries and the
walls glow with the richness OF
their coloring. Great vases of glad
ioli. roses, dahlias and other bril-
liant flowers were used as decora-
lions for the opening, which was
attended by several hundred people.
There was a short musical pro-
gram by the Orloff Trio, brief in
troductory remarks by Miss Anna
Hasselman, curator of the museum,
and an informal address of ap-
probation by William Forsyth, life
long friend of Mr.. Adams.
Many persons from out Of the
city were present, not few OF
whom had lent paintings for this
event, Mr.. Adams work has been
divided in the catalogue into three
periods-Munich, Later and Last.
The Munich period is sharply di-
vided from the other two which
merge easily into one another. 1t
was after his student days in Ger
many that he became an impress
sionist. His masters, Loefftz and
Benczur. trained him in academic
expression.
Under their instruction he learned
to draw and to express himself in
paint with technical excellence, but
he taught himself to transfer SUM-
light to canvas by his devoted la
bors in immortalizing through his
interpretations the gracious Indiana
countryside.

Woman'S Intuition

An English professor rises TO dis
pute the time honored belief in
woman's intuitive power.
He says that women have not
had the intuitive power with
which they have been credited,
and that they have been fooling
themselves quite as much as other
people in the supposed display OF
il.
He has tested women with re-
gard to this power, he says, by
giving them photographs OF
editors, d-alnatists and murderers
and has discovered that in many
instances they have credited the
murderers with greater moral
qualities than literary men.

The familiar streams and hill
sides, the noble trees and grassy
pastures of his native State were
best portrayed through the i'm
pressionist's palette and Mr.. Ad-
ans adopted 1t as MS own.
Later he painted in Florida and
Michigan and he brought an assured
knowledge to the task, but none of
the work of his last period exceeds
in beauty the shimmering skies and
streams of his Indiana landscapes.
There is remarkable variety both in
subject and in technique in this eX-
cellent collection Of his pictures. 1t
is an exhibition that has aroused a
Statewide interest.
Print lovers who have visited
Gallery IL to see the French etch-
ings selected for display during the
month of october from, the per-
manent collection have' been en-
thusiastic in their approval of this
group. Splendid examples are shown
from the finest of the French etch-
ers. 1t is a matter of juStifable
pride to the art association that it
has so large and representative a
collection of good prints. Many
galleries have larger collections, but
no gallery has finer specn.- MS than
some that belong at The John Her
ron Art Institute.
1t Is said that Sir Francis Sey-
mour Haden, the eminent English
etcher, considered Felix Buhot the
greatest among French etchers.

place to Felix Bracquemond. Ex-

Judicial System Indicted

Conviction of innocent men rep
resents but one phase of the per-
centage of error in our courts.
For every case of this kind, it is
possible to find scores of guilty
men that have escaped.
In no phase of life, perhaps, do
we tolerate such inefficiency, such
dilly- dallying and such unsatis-
factory results as in the administra-
ton of justice.
Warden Lawes argument against
capital punishment because OF the
Injustice it is likely to involve con-
stitutes nothing less than terrific
indictment of our judicial system.

Accepting the news at its face value what are we

The United States has recognized Russia, SO
Washington is not in position to protest, regard
less of what the Communists might do to American
citizens.
China has been in chaos for fifteen years. One
government after another has come and gone at

Russia Is the largest and most populous country in
Europe We should maintain contact with her. Her

which wink at in Peking.
The point is that on November T. Russia will have

we withhold recognition from it for any such period
