KEEP A CALENDAR.
Reminds Fans Of Which Programs
Are Best.

1t is surprising to find during the
day how many excellent things one
missed the night before on the radio.
Friends at the luncheon table ask:
"Have you heard this and have you
heard that?" Radio reviews in the
newspapers discuss the fine features
Of the night before. One feels as
though much of value has been
missed, and resolves once more to
adopt some sort of effective radio
reminder.
But resolutions soon are broken.
The evening passes, and the programs,
too. unheard.
One Of the best reminders, If one
can be reminded to adopt 1t, is to
keep a radio calendar in conspicuous
place beside the set. Select the best
from the advance programs and jot
them down on this calendar. 1t is
one safe way to avoid missing the
good things on the air.

 "The church is in need of a re- dedication," asserted the bishop That the church was 8 wonderful organization he admitted but he also assured the congregation that It's great task and duty was to res. cue the indifferent ones and bring them into the church.

Appear in Washington to Ask Govt. to Release Money in
 Banks.

Washington, Jan. 24 R-Attor- neys for Charlie Chaplin today asked the government to lift its income tax liens on money held in the bank by the movie star.

 They appeared hopeful of an agreement with government officials. They are interested particularly in getting the release of money held in the banks in the east by Chaplin. so that he can defend the divorce suit brought by Lita Grey Chaplin.
 If Chaplin can get his money in the banks" said Isaac Siegel of New York, one of the Chaplin legal staff, "he wants to go back to Cali fornia and fight for his children. He also wants to continue his work. But you can be sure he is going to fight to the limit for the two chill dren."
 Siegel said Chaplin knew nothing about his business affairs, having left them in the hands of auditors and managers He is willing, &C., cording to Siegel. to permit the gov ernment to continue it's liens against the corporation's funds and his Swn money in California.

PROBE
 TO BEGIN TONIGHT
Committee, Idle for Past Month,
 Will Investigate Records

An official investigation of the manner of giving and grading exam- nations for electricians licenses will be instituted at meeting of spe- cial committee of the common coun- cil tonight.
 Although appointed more than a month ago the investigators had not taken up their work in time to pre- sent report to the January meet ing of the council. Mayor Weld planned no action to bring about a meeting. feeling, he said, that no investigation was necessary. The mayor has declared himself to be satisfied with the functionings of the building boards subcommittee. He pointed to the fact that Coun- cilman w. S. Warner, who request ed that committee be named, was the first man selected and that it was up to Warner to call a meet ing.
 Councilman Warner championed S. Y. Spaulding, unsuccessful candi- date for an electricians license, and after formal complaint had not brought about reversal of the com mittee's negative report on Spauld- ing's examination, Warner had the investigating committee appointed. The reorganized examining board reviewed Spaulding's papers after the Investigating group was ap- pointed and also found against granting a license.

A,2OO,0OO GOLD
 SHIPMENT LANDED
Liner Rochambeau Brings Bul
 lion From France

New York, Jan. z4.-R- The American Exchange-Irving Trust company announced today that 1t had received from the French liner Rochambeau $4,200,o00 of gold bull lion from France.
 This announcement set at rest re- ports that the gold on the Rocham- beau amounted to $24,000.000 and was an indication that France was at tempting to return to the gold standard, without a debt settlement with the United states and without a revaluation of the franc.
 Financial centers of the world are studying the significance Of the shipments. New York bankers see the transaction as an initial step of an attempt by France to return to the gold standard without a debt settlement with the United States and without revaluation Of the generally believed an impos- sible task in financial rehabilitation. Should this be true 1t would be one of the boldest financial strokes &C., complished by any nation since the war, the New York Times observed.
 France Is the only major Euro pean nation that has not returned to a gold basis.
 A shipment of s2o,0oo,0oo in bull lion reached here Saturday on the liner Rochambeau, following closely upon the arrival of $4,000,oo0 con- signment earlier last week, the first since the war.
 France has not been able to ar- range a credit with American banks because of the refusal of the state department to approve loans to countries which have not ratified the debt settlements.
 The $20,000,0o0 shipment is con- tained in 6,31s boxes and is consign- ed to the American Exchange-Irvinl Trust company from the Paris bank. ing house of Morrit, Bonnin. Lebe and Guien, the New York bank's correspondents in France.
 The shipments mark the first re taxation by the Bank of France or gold since the war. France has clunf to her gold reserve through sue cessive administrations despite golt movements all about her.
 With the franc now controlled. i is evidently the plan of the Poin care government to abandon it hoarding policy, says the Times. 1T furtherance of its currency stabili zation plans.
 The present gold reserve of thu United States totals $2,935, ,035, ,00t according to the last federal reserve bank statement issued at the clos' of business January 19, compared with $2,916,043,000 in the core spending week of 1926. This does no include gold in circulation.
