SEE LITTLE HOPE FOR STATIONS
 SLATED FOR CUSTER AUGUST

WASHINGTON, June 21-Al. though they will Ee given Q hear. ing, few of the 162 broadcasting stations recently notified thal they were slated for elimination August 1. will be allowed to re- main on the air after that data, members of the Federal Radio Commission have indicated.
 The commission, after thor ough study of the performance records of these stations, says it is convinced they are not being operated in the public interest. Many of them have been giving incomplete program service, mem bers Of the commission say, some of the smaller stations operating only one day a week. Othera listed for elimination are said to have caused interference by wan. dering off their assigned frequcn- cies and by exceeding their pow CT allotments. some broadcast. CTS have failed to employ licensed operators.
 At the hearings on the applica- tions of these stations for renew al of licenses which begin July 9, the burden of service proof will be on the owners. In a letter to these broadcasters, Judge Ira F. Robinson, chairman of the com mission, says: At this hearing unless you can make an affrma- tive showing that public interest, convenience or necessity will be served by the granting of your application. it will be finally de nied."
 Further indication that the commission intends decisive ac- tion is contained in the statement by Judge Robinson that Congress by the so-called Davis amendment has directed the commission to deal with the matter of surplus of stations with a firm hand and the commission proposed so to act"
 He says that, after a critical study, it is his firm opinion the Radio Act is not subject to suc- cessful attack and that all the regulatory powers granted the commission may be constitution ally exercised. The judge de- clares, however, that the broad casters and listening public will be given square deal by the commission.
 Meanwhile, the commission is preparing to resist possible law suits and injunction processes which may be instituted by own CTS of eliminated stations. 1t is planned to have three attorneys represent the commission in the courts.
 The station reduction of August 1 is only one of the preliminary steps to the adoption of the new allocation plan, the commission says.

With gang of Is men work ing, the sewage program of the city for the 1928 season, has be- gun on Main Street, where old wooden sewers are being replaced with 12-inch concrete pipe. The new sewers will extend from the City Hall to Seventh Street, ac- .cording to Mayor Thomas B. Jud- son.

TOKYO. June 21-1he long drawn.out kiss and the hectic TO- nance of the western movies are not for Japan. Consequently when someone suggests pos sible Amer ican film invasion of Nippon the native producers in dulge in slight but expressive yawns.
 Only about 15 percent of the foreign films exhibited in the l. 176 moving picture theatres of Japan are of American manufac- ture. One of the large producing companies of the Pacific Coast recently opened a studio in Kyoto to produce Japanese films. It closed with as reported loss of some $125.OOO.
 The Japanese like their own plays and players. There are only 39 theatres in the nation which exhibit foreign films exclusively. :. while there are 5S1 theatres showing only Japanese rroduc- tions
 Of the foreign movie stars that find favor in Japan, it is general ly conceded that Charlie Chaplin tops the list, with the acrobatie Douglas Fairbanks close second Women play an exceedingly small part in the affairs of the Far East, and that goes for the fem mine film stars, but Mary Pick ford seems to be the fayorite of the American luminarles.
 A new school" of Japanese | movie actors is running the old native favorites a close race now. adays. Tokihlki Okada is tle ace of the modern film actors, while Tsumasahuro Bando is the favor ite of the "old school" The na- tive women players are not with out their popularity. Miss Naoyc Fushimi is leading player in both old and modern film drama. and Miss Shizuye Natsukawa is one of the most beautiful and popular of the "new schoDw ex- ponents.
 The dramas of the "old school' are 15 to IS reels long and ar usually historical and gory For many centuries this sort of dole full tragedy has been the theatre of Japan, and the movies nave gone the legitimate one better in faithfulness to details.
 The new school producers arr
 making pictures of modern life with their Japanese actors in dress coats, toppers, spats. and Oxford bags, and these films are gaining rapidly in popularity. In many of the provincial thea tres the moving picture exhi6i- tors charge no admission. They get their films, which are old and spotty, for virtually nothing and make their profits from the sales of cakes, tea, cur1os and photographs. Big houses in large cities charge admissions ranging from 20 cents to SIPS. Admis- sions in the country theatres aver age from seven to 13 cents In almost all the theatres the real star of the program is the speaker or announcer, who reads the titles to spectators. He also explains the scenes and general ly is a comedian as well as tragedlan. The Japanese public. while generally literate, cannot usually read the titles as rapidly las they are thrown on the screen. Some announcers make salaries of from $3C0 to $500 month.

STUDYING PROBLEM
OF AUTO LICENSING
[CoHtiHusd from first bags1

[COatiHped from first Page1
Grantland and Mr.. Ball believe that
it would help more than anything
else to relieve the big rush prior
to the end of one year and the be-
ginning of another. They think
that the owner of a car, provided
he had not changed it, and got a
new one, would be glad of the OPP
portunity to get his license at once.
Under Mr.. Balls idea, all he would
have to do would be to go to a mag
istrate or notary and swear that
the facts were as represented and
the notary would detach the license
card and the owner would be re-
lieved of any delay whatever.
All motor authorities agree that
no matter whether it's a month or a
weeks grace allowed motorists,
there will always be a certain per-
centage who will put the item of
getting a new license off until a
few days or perhaps the last day on
which they can use their old tags.
Another idea suggested is that
owners of cars be given a longer
time in which to use their new tags
before they are necessary. In other
words, permit those who have got
ten their next years tags to at
tach them to their cars, say on De-
cember Is. This, it is believed,
might have a psychological effect
on those who had not gotten their
new tags. One driver seeing anoth-
er with his next years tags on his
car might be induced by simple
mental reflection to get his.
Nothing definite has been decid-
ed, but it is believed after the trip
to Trenton that some plan will be
decided upon and put into effect as
speedily as possible. This would
enable the Titling Department dur
ing the slack period next fall to
prepare for the rush ahead of time.
All motor authorities agree that it |

FRIENDSHIP CLASS NOTES

In the Chapel Beautiful on Tues
day evening, our class held short
business meeting and celebrated the
event of having raised the amount of
$1,000 in about eight months, which
we had pledged toward the building
fund. This, however, does not mean
that, we will discontinue this fund.
1t will remain open and anyone de-
string to contribute, their amounts
will be acceptable at any time. We
all ready have fine amount pledged
toward another $1,000.
1t was decided to discontinue the
meetings during the months of July
and August. Our next meeting will
be held September 4.
The program was in charge of the
committee for the month, Mrs. Hart
acting as chairman. They had indeed
real treat for us, having been able
to secure Keith's Imperial Ensemble,
a five piece orchestra of Dover, who
delightfully."- entertained us with
many splendid selections. Mrs. Os-
car Maloney read an original poem
entitled "How We Raised Our Thous-
and Dollars" which revived our
memories in a most clever and in
teresting way of the different social
functions we had held for that pur-
pose. Six of our members dressed
appropriately, very cleverly gave a
sketch entitled "Six Old Maids"
Mrs. Harry Latchum gave a humor-
Gus reading and there were several
other forms of entertainment during
the social hour, everyone being en-
joyed by all.
After a few remarks by our pas
tor and teacher, Rev. Herson, fol-
lowed by a cheer led by Mr.. Mes
sick for our president, VIM. G. Alb
bott, of whom we are all very proud,
delicious ice cream and home made
cake were served.
These monthly meetings which we
have held regularly for the past few
months have been a real inspiration
for our teacher, officers and men, !
bers and have done much toward the
forming of closer religious and
ties. Those who are mem
bers of our class and who have not
been making an earnest effort to at
tend the sessions on each Sunday at
9:45 a. m. and attend our monthly
meetings are losing splendid
chance to enable themselves to bet
er assist in the work of our Mas
.er.

CONGRESS- AND MEDALS

Congress has been mighty gener-
GUS Of late with the award of medals
to flyers. When the Irish and Ger
man aviators came along and re-
ceived the honor it made the mem
bers remember some of our own
great flyers had been neglected, and
they proceeded to pay back debts.
One led to another until a halt had
to be made to keep the thing from
going to extremes and getting out of
proportion. The stop sign was put
up on the proposal in the House to
award the Distinguished Flying
Cross to the round-the-world army
flyers. Reece of Tenn, a World war
veteran, objected that peace time
flyers were being honOred far mole

already been prominent as a student
and an observer of conditions and
affairs in Bible lands. He is a very
attractive lecturer, having lectured
