George Society Grows


This is an age, of many move
ments, SO many indeed, that people
have little time to take them seri-
ously.
Their multiplication has developed
a. sense of humor which, more than
anything else, keeps them from run
ming to violence.
That sense of humor has gone
so far as to develop movements for
no better reason than to get q good
laugh.
An illustration is the Society for
the Prevention of Calling Sleeping
Car Porters George" which cele-
brated it's seventeenth anniversary
last Tuesday and which now has a
membership of more than eighteen
thousand.
Qualification for membership in
this society is that of George.
George Washington and Admiral
George Dewey are the patron saints;
George AIDE, the poet laureate;
George M. Cohan, lyrist; George
Cardinal Mundelein, chaplain; King
George ", British representative;
George Bernard Shaw, foreign cor
respondent; George Clemenceau,
French charge d'affairs, and George
(Babe) Ruth, sergeant-at-arn1s.
George Chicerin, foreign minister OF
Russia. would undoubtedly be given.

SAYS:

FRENCH LICK, Ind, Jan 21.-
Frank L. Smith goes back to Illinois
madden, ii not a wisn' man -
Instead of a seat in the Senate
he can have one in the kitchen
corner to think it over.
So far as the law is concerned he
may have committed no crime, but
he has committed a blunder, which,
as Tallyrand told Napoleon, is
worse.
His present idea is to seek vindi-
cation by running again, a La Jim
Ferguson, Blanton Berger and some
others.
His chance of success lies in the
fact that public opinion does not
always accord with that of the
Senate regarding what is contrary
to sound public policy"

Hef!in as Optimist

Right after the Senate barred
Smith, the Democratic side of it re-
pudiated Heflin. His challenge of
Senator Robinson's leadership goes
down by a majority of thirty-flve
to one.
Most any other man but Heflin
would be overwhelmed with humilia-
ton. BY the same token most any
other man but Heflin would have
avoided making such an ass of him
self.
Helm calmly says that it is just
what he expected anad that he takes
it as no reflection on his conduct.
Some optimist.

necessary to stoop to every subter-

to avoid trial on so serious
charge.

l. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and do
it in par, a given number of strokes.
Thus to change COW to HEN, in

2. You can change only one letter

Intolerance Progress

On the same day that Senator
Heflin delivered his anti-Catholic
TRADE in the Senate the bodies of
Joseph and Hyrum Smith were dis
covered at Nauvoo, Ill.
Here is vivid illustration not only
of how intolerance persists in this
country, but how it has changed,
We still have too much Of it, but
it is rather windy and insipid COM
pared to the old style.
Bad as present day bigotry may
be it runs mostly to hot air while
that of 1874 ran to bullets.
Not only were Joseph and Hyrum
Smith shot down because people did
not like what they preached but
their followers were bounded from
one place to another.
In spite of periodic waves OF In
tolerance, we actually are making
progress.

Many serpents lay eggs, but most
of the venomous and many of the
commonest species are viyiparous,

The young are ready to take care

Commercial Credits

When the Federal Reserve Act was passed in
1913, its champions asserted that 1t would put an
end to the use OF the commercial credit resources
of the country to promote stock exchange speculation
This promise has not been fulfilled.
At present the New York members Of the reserve
banking system have brokers loans aggregating al
most $4,000 100000. The security for these loans
is composed Of stocks and bonds and their existence
forms the necessary basis for the present volume Of
speculation In New York.
The question Of whether this is wholesome state
Of affairs Is being keenly debated.
Senator 1aFollette supported by the opinions Of
eminent students Of finance, think 1t is extremely
dangerous to the welfare Of the country. and wants
Congress to act to check further credit expansion to
support stock speculation.
Eminent bankers, on the contrary, contend chat
there Is no cause for alarm in the large volume Of
brokers loans They assert that all parts Of the
country are so amply supplied with credit and that
interior banks sending surplus funds to New York
for stock exchange loans in order to make Slight
profit on otherwise idle resources.
The relative merits OF the contentious only
be judged by the most painstakng and expert study.
1t required no such study to see that the Federal
Reserve System is playing part in this situation
which those who framed the legislation creating 1t
asserted it would not.
This Is development which IT would seem DIFF
ficult for the trainers Of the reserve act and the
Congress which passed 1t to ignore. ~
discussion Of why the reserve system has failed
to live up to the promises Of those who urged its
passage might demonstrate that the promises were
reckless and ul-conceived
It might demonstrate that there was flaw IN
the legislation that the present management is
not carefully carrying out all provisions OF the law.
Above ALL such discussion would give the country
information needed to form intelligent opinion on
the question Of whether the present volume Of brok
ers' loans is dangerous or whether 1t is harmless.

WAVE DEMANDS
EXCEED SUPPLY
149 Commercial Stations
Seek Short Lengths-Many
Implications.

BY the Associated Press.
The demands of commercial enter
prises for short wave channels already
exceed the supply Of wave lengths esti-
mated by Government engineers to be
available.
Applications have been made to the
Federal Radio Commission for the con-
struction of 149 commercial and limited
public service stations and the assign
ment to these services Of 1856 wave
lengths. In his report to the COM
mission. Capt. S. G. Hooper. head OF
the radio engineering division OF the
Navy, said that If the United States
could obtain 20 per cent OF the avail
able short wave channels. there could
be accommodated l39 stations. In any
allotment of the United States share
of channels provision must be made
for the Army and Navy and other Gov
ernmental departments using radio.
Duplicate Requests.
Analysis of the applications indicates
that the problem of assigning these
channels is further complicated by the
fact that 178 of the requests for wave
lengths duplicate the requests OF other
applicants.
For point to point service. not oper
to the public, requests have been made
for los stations and 1876 wave lengths;
for point to point. open to the public,
A stations and l39 wave lengths: and
for general public. ship to ship and
ship to shore. station and 2 wave
lengths The Government departments
have not yet presented reports on the
allocations they need.
Many Newspapers.
Communication companies lead tht
list Of applicants with As stations and

fishers and press associations are sec.
ond with requests for 81 stations and 81
