VENEZUELA'S POSTAGE RATE
 DELAYS FIRST CLASS MAIL

Venezuela is the only country in the Americas which requires more than two cents an ounce or frac- ton for first class mail, the Assist Iant Trade Commissioner at Caracas, Frederick D. Grab, has reported, ad vising the Department of Commerce that frequent delays in delivery of letters from the United States caus- cd by insufficient postage.
 Venezuela, the only non-member If the Pan-American Postal Union in America, requires five cents an ounce or fraction on all first class mail from the United States. Much mail is said to arrive in that coun- try from the United States with only a two cent stamp to pay charges, and is therefore held up for postage due.

"BOY WOUNDED WHEN PLAY.
 SHOOTS GUN ACCIDENTLY"

A boys hunting trip almost ended djsastrously yesterday when bull- ct from 22 rife discharged acci- dentally by Bobby Mitchell, hit Eu- gene Uotala, who was standing about ten feet away. The bullet en- te, ed the boys left cheek, passed beneath the ear and emerged from the back of the neck. An examina- ton made by Dr. J. H. Romig dis closed that the wound was not se- rious, although had the bullet taken only a slightly different course it might have resulted in the boys death.
 Hunting had been temporarily abandoned for swimming and Flu gene was preparing to dive into the water when the rife was discharged He returned home at once and was tuken to Dr. Romig's office for treat ment. Except for the loss of consid- erable blood he is apparently none the worse for the experience.-Au chorage Times.
 It is just such mishandling of gurs of small calibre that received the disapproval of the local council at recent meeting. Some parents have taken offense at the request that stores refuse to sell their chit dren ammunition unless through the parent and when the shooting of such guns will be under the super vision of the parent.
 It is a too oft repeated story-"I didn't know the gun was loaded"-- but no amount of sorrow or regrets ..an recompense for life taken or for ugly scars which may be carried through life.

PROTEST RELEASE of |. ". WIS

A state wide protest by American
 Legion posts is proposed against tha
 proposed parole of six Industrial
 Workers of the World now serving 25-year sentences in the Washington State Penitentiary for the shooting
 of World War Veterans at Centralia Armistice Day, 1919.
 Grant Ware, adjutant of Spokane Post in a letter to Jesse Drain,
 State Adjutant, announced that ev- cry Legion Post in the State will
 be asked to take action to prevent possible parole. Local legionairea plan to confer with G. B. Clausen,
 member of the parole board during this month when objections will be made
 Ed. Note.-Considerabl feeling has been engendered against the Le- zion because of the Centralia fra cas. Alaskans, who were in Gen. tralia at the time, are not convinced of the entire innocence of the Le- zion in the matter. The leaders went to Centralia to clean up'' and to mop up' those I. w. WIS who were within their constitutional rights in objecting to the war and so express ed themselves. Warren Grimm, U. of w. footbal star was killed and other casualties resulted. The lead- CTS of the I. w. w. who defended their hall and what they believed to be their rights were arrested, tried and sentenced to long terms in pri- son.
 They have served long enough now for troubles which were not of their seeking. The war for world peace" was a misnomer. The I. w W.'s were correct in their designa- tion of the war as a "capitalistic" war which American soldiers carried on to protect the investments" of Wall street." Men on both sides, ,Ar'es and German, have suffered land paid plenty and aer still paying. TO carry on the hatreds of that war fs picayunishily un-American anl |not in keeping of the country. The Legion will bring greater credit up- lon itself did it make effort to free |every man from prison who opposed lthe idea of war and expressed him. Isels at the time as opposed to war. Lincoln and Roosevelt in their own times made far more severe criticism lof wars and far abler, than any I. w. w. did or could, but they were too big in the political affairs of the nation so the pay-triotic" could not make war on them and bring them Ito Justice" as in the case of the I. w. W. of Centralia and other syn- dicalists.
 They have paid plenty out of the years of their lives and 1t Is time that the Legion forget that war which was foistered upon this na- tion by the "pay-triotic profiteers.

recently rescued from a fire at their
home, 3100 Dumbarton avenue, were
adjudged today by jury before Chief
Justice Mccoy to be of unsound mind
and incapable Of caring for their real
estate In Georgetown and personal prop
erty totaling about 100000. Applica-
ton will be made to the court to ap-
point committee to take care Of the
persons and estate of the two women.
The finding does not require that they
be sent to an asylum.
The hearing, begun last Friday, was
halted by Chief Justice Mccoy when 1t
developed that the two women had not
been told of the proceeding to have
them declared of unsound mind. The
Jury was excused until today. William
w. Mackall, appointed as their guardian
ad Item, read the petitions to the wom-
en- and explained the procedure. They
were not, brought to court.

with them for several years, and Henry
S. Matthews. their legal adviser, who
declared them incapable of handling an
estate, but expressed no opinion on the
question Of the soundness of mind.
Opposition to the claim that they are
of unsound mind came from Mrs. B. NJ
Randolph, Miss Katherine Berry and
Or. B. NJ Randolph. Attorneys Henry
F. Matthews and James e. Burroughs,
ir.. represented Mrs. Anne Berry Craig

PATENT SUIT REVIEW
DECLINED BY COURT
infringement in Use of Printing
Press Apparatus Formed
Basis Of Case.

The Supreme Court today declined to
review the case of the Cline Electric
Manufacturing Co.. Westinghouse Elec-
trio & Manufacturing Co. and the Chi
cago Tribune Co. against G.. A. Edward
Kohler, involving the validity Of the
Stone patent on an apparatus for feed-
ing paper to printing presses.
The patent in suit, granted to Irv.
ing I. Stone In 1915, consisted Of reel
carrying number Of rolls Of paper,
operating so that when one Of the rolls
of paper exhausted, the end of another
roll Is pasted on, permitting the print
ing press to operate without interrupt
t1cn. The machine Is generally known
among newspaper men as the flying
paSter."
Application for the patent was filed
In 1900, and In the suit brought by
Kohler against the Cline and Westing-
house companies and against the Chi
cago Tribune for the infringement of
the patent, the defendants claimed that
the patent was not valid because the
invention had not been used publicly for
more than two years before the appli-
cation for the patent was filed. They
brought evidence to show that such
public use Of the machine took place in
the plant OF the Chicago Daily News
The plaintiff claimed that the use of
the machine in the Daily News was
entirely experimental and was not
public use.
The master appointed in the case,
the District Court and the Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled that the defendants
had not established the prior public
use, and held the patent valid and in
fringed by the defendants, who then Pc
titioned the, Supreme Court to review
the case.

Shifts in Light
OF Nebulae Bear
Out Einstein Idea
Astronomers Find Evi.
dence of Curved Space
and Closed Universe.
BY the Associated Press

ny the Associated PfeSS
NEW YORK, November 26.--The
peculiar behavior of nebulae whirling
about In space 05,000,000 light years
away from the earth, and seeming to
move farther away at the rate of $780,
600 miles second, is beginning to con-
vince some astronomers that Einstein
was right, that space Is curved and
that the universe Is closed"
Recently Prof. Harlow Sharpley. d.
rector Of the Harvard Observatory, re-
ferred in an address here to new evil
dence supporting Einstein's thesis that
space doubles back on itself Announce
ment OF recent discoveries has been In
circulation among scientists for some
weeks. he said, but 1t has not yet been
published.
Prof. Henry Norris Russell of Prince
ton University, discussing the recent
discoveries, said the new research start
ed when 1t was found that light rays
from distant nebulae, or systems of
luminous matter, did not hold positions
on the spectrum that they would be
expected to occupy.
Shifting of Light Parts.
When this light was separated into
Its constituent parts, each part appeared

end of the spectrum toward the red
end. The shift was worked out for
ordinary circumstances long ago and Is
we'll understood When the source of
light is receding from the earth at
terrific speed, the wave length Is in
creased and the light shifts toward the
red. end Of the spectrum. When the
source Is approaching the earth, the
shift Is toward the blue end.
But study Of the distant nebulae
disclosed that the shift always was to-
ward the red, instead of toward the
blue about half the time, as would be
expected. This seemed to indicate that
all the nebulae were moving outward
parently attaining speed Of 100000
miles second.
Astronomers began to question
whether the universe could be in a
state of explosion, with the outer parts
of the system rushing away from the
center
Explanation in Einstein.
"Then." DR.. Russell said, "it was
found that the Einstein theory of
curved space and a closed universe
would explain this shift toward the red
1t seems probable that these distant
nebulae are not scattering off into space
in all directions, but that the conditions
of the Einstein universe would require
light at that distance to behave as this
does"
Prof Shapley, who developed meth
cd for measuring the distances of the
nebulae, declined to say when an
nouncement would be made of evidence
gathered in recent research, but he in
dicated that it would be soon.

RADIO CORPORATION

Supreme Court Refuses to Act on
Plea for Consideration of

for Delaware, restraining 1t from en-
forcing license agreement with man.
Ufacturers of radio receiving sets us
ing it's circuit patent requiring them to
purchase from 4the corporation all tubes

The corporation had contended that
1t had fully established by litigation Its
right to patents covering circuits used

a position to drive them out of busi-
ness, but had consented to permit their

ceiving sets provided they used tubes
