DICK Wilmington
TRADITION UPHELD
British School Children Assured
Story of Lord Mayors Cat
Is Well Founded.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
ASHSTEAD, Englard.-Thousands
Of English school children who have
feared that they should have to give
up their long-cherished tradition of
Dick Wilmington and his cat are once
more reassured.
Dick Wilmington was lord mayor of
London in the fifteenth century. The
story is told that when sculion boy
he ventured with his cat, his only pos
sion. on merchant ship of his
master and so made his fortune.
Recently the lord mayor of London,
Sir Rowland Blades, said that there
could be no truth in the story of Dick
Wilmington and his cat for the reason
that there were no cats in England in
Dicks time.
There was more excitement in Eng
land over his statement than about
some of the transatlantic flights. Edll-
Gators thought they would have to
change their stories to the younger
people and rewrite the reading books.
But now comes Arthur r. Cotton,
lord of the manor of Ashtead, Surrey,
in the forest of which the remains of
q Roman villa have been nd. He
says there were cats in England in the
second century. and in proof of his
statement he produces pieces of Ro.
man tile made at Ashtead in that CEN
tury on which cat had put its paw
while the tile was still soft, leaving a
clear impression.
Because the lord mayors house is
within few yards of the Cotton
homestead it is possible that the cat
caught mice in Sir Rowland's garden
i ZOO years ago.
Cotton is having cast made of the
cats paw t. present to the lord mayor

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Properly conducted, radio advertis.
ing enables the broadcasting com.
pany to function more efficiently and
to give its clients better type Of
program. Unfortunately, as matters
now stand, the program has to be
mixed with advertising in such a way
that one thinks of the advertiser,
rather than the broadcast company, as
giving away the entertainment. Some
interesting developments may occur
in this line.
One of them, for instance, has to do
with altering the advertising feature
to a point where all programs will be
sponsored entirely by the broadcasters
and not by the advertisers, but will
be interspersed with advertising. This
plan has been criticized on the theory
that radio owners would not listen to
the advertising portions. No consid-
Grafton, however, is given to the fact
that in order to avoid missing the nom
advertising portions of the program it
would be necessary for the listener
to have clairvoyant powers to know
when to cut in and cut out. In read
ing magazine, he cannot help but
see advertising as he passes from one
page to another.
There are a number of interesting
and important angles to be straight.
ened out in the advertising situation
which are closely allied with the sue.
cess of broadcasting at this point. If
the set owners criticism of the present
situation is intelligent, it is likely that
he will be able to offer a clue as to
how certain radio advertising can be
made less Objectionable and more
generally harmonious.

the "Beggars OPERA" is a satire on
political and prison conditions in
Great Britain during the regime of
Sir Robert Walpole, prime minister.
It might well be called an opera of
parodies. as Gay took the popular melo-
dies of the day and rewrote the lyrics.
Make the Shift Easily.
Just like shifting the gears in an
automobile, the radio operator who
can go from one station to another
without annoying his guests or with
out making them conscious of what
he is doing is more likely to be well
coined as host. Most set owners will
switch from one station to another
in such a way as to break off one
program and smash directly into
another.
1t is simple enough to wait for
the end of vocal selection or to hold
off until the speaker has a chance
to conclude his statements before
switching off the particular wave
channel and tuning for another. To
avoid breaking in upon a program in
the middle of the selection. however,
requires a little more skill. Yet it
really is simple.
Try the station, family at first, in
stead of with full power. This is COM

shift. Do this feeling" through

Mothers, you can't start too early
to establish child,s serene and
tranquil disposition. Even an infant
can have happy, fretless state Of
uninterrupted health. What will help
do this? A simple, purely vegetable
product as old as you are: plain
Castoria.
A few drops Of Castoria will settle
all uneasness in jiffy.. Will dispei
collie or ward off constipation; and
just as surely check diarrhea.
In real sickness, call a physician.
But many physicians urge only Cas-
toria for those little childish disorders
that need nothing more. You need
never be afraid to give pure castoria.
1t is safe and perfectly harmless, for
it contains no paregoric, no opiates,
no dope Of any kind. At least, this is
true Of the genuine Fleteher's Cas-
toria*-and that is the kind doctors
tell you always to buy.
Fleteher's Castoria is fine for any
child. All children love to take il.

CYRUS F.. Woods of Pennsylvania for
appointment to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, at the hearing be-
fore the Senate committee consider
ing the nomination yesterday.
Albert NJ. Belcher of Charleston. w.

and present corporate connections
with Pennsylvania coal concerns and
railroads and his appearance as attor-
new Of record in the original Lake
Cargo coal rate case. which is again

him for membership.
Before Mr.. Belcher made his state
ment, Mr.. Woods had told the COM
mittee that he not only would not par
ticipate in the pending lake case,
which involves rates on coal from the
Pennsylvania and Southern fields to
lake ports, but would feel that he also
was disqualified to take part in any
continuation sof the case after a decl-
sion is rendered.
Before his examination was Conclud-
