CAR LICENSE RULING
AROUSES OPPOSITION
Application Is Made to Court of
Appeals to Recall Recent
Mandate.

District authorities are dissatisfied
with the decision of Justice Charles H.
Robb holding that a resident of the
State of Virginia having a license to
drive an automobile may operate a car
in Washington even though he has been
disbarred by the local Traffic Bureau
and his local license revoked.
Through Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Edward w. Thomas, application has
been made to the Court of Appeals to
recall its mandate from the Police Court
and to suspend it until the District has
an opportunity TO apply to the United
States Supreme Court for writ Of re-
view.
Attorneys Haven & Havell, counsel for
Charles H. Fred. who was convicted and
fined in Police Court last December, are
expected to oppose the review of the
case by the highest court in the land.
The opinion affirmed similar ruling
by the Court Of Appeals In 1921 and
pointed out that the traffic law, since
passed, made plain the right under
reciprocity agreement for the Virginia
resident to operate under the license of
that State and freed him from taking
out local permit.

Spanish Moss for Upholstery.

While it is not new industry by any
means, that of gathering the Span
ish moss which grows on the trees Of
some of the Southern States, has re-
Gently taken on imposing proportions,
In the State of Louisiana alone it Is
reckoned to have reached a valuation
of S2,500000. Not only are the trees
bearded with this growth, but houses,
fences and clotheslines as well. If the
season be one of gathering
activities-for once gathered, the moss
must be dried. Before the drying be-
gins the wet moss is stacked in piles
and left for five weeks in the Summer,
or ten in Winter, so that the soft bark
may rot away. Then 1t is hung In the
warm sun. It is worth from 8 to IL
cents a pound, depending on its quality
and the market.

New Era of Good Will.
This development in the radio indus
try is a natural outcropping of the new
era of good will which seems to prevail
at this years show. Three of the
merging companies we're litigants in the
famous tube clause case in the Federal
District Court at Wilmington, Del. in
which the independent tube makers
were successful in breaking down the
requirement previously imposed by the
Radio Corporation of America that all
radio sets manufactured under patents
licensed by the Radio Corporation of
America be initially equipped with tubes
of Radio Corporation Of America man
ufacture.
Winning out on the legal points. the
independents babe fair to defeat the
dominant corporation in the industry
on the merits also. This phase Of the
case is still pending, but probaoly will
be dropped soon by order of Judge
licensees of the tube patents held by
the Radio Corporation of America, just
as are about IS other producers Of sets
and parts and about half dozen other
tube makers.
The licensees who use the Radio Cor
poration of America patents are per-
mitted to do so on a royalty basis.
Latest of the set manufacturers to take
out license is Capt. William Spark,
president of the Sparks Withinton Co,
makers of the Spartan set. The Radio
Corporation of America purchased from
the Michigan company certain valuable
patents and in return granted it the
right to use all Radio Corporation Of
America patents. This ended litigation
that had been going on between the
two companies for years-a fight that

Hoover Sends Greeting.
Another factor contributing toward
peace in the industry was the decision
Of the Radio Corporation of Americ;'
last week to eliminate most Of the roy

on their gross sales, guaranteeing :

practically been eliminated, and the
saving will undoubtedly be passed on I,

many. Herr Arthur Bulow, editor
Of q boxing magazine, signed me
TO q contract when u was discov-
cred my contract with Fuchs was
illegal. al ! had signed it when
not yet OF age.
My victories had forced Max
DieCkmann. the ight-heavyweizht
champion OF Germany, TO recognize
me as a challenger. A match be-
tween Us was arranged.
Dieckmann met me in September,
1926. In that fight he made the
same mistake / had made against
Gaines. He underestimate me be-
lieving I had no chance to win.
My favorite punch, a right cross,
hit him in the face at the end Of
the first minute Of the first round.
He fell TO the floor and did not get
up. I had won by a knockout and
VAS To- Interchangeable cham
pion OF Germany.
Then I was matched with Ferdi-
nand DE Lorge for the light heavy
weight championship of Europe. !
knocked him out in the 18th round.
These victories and titles made
me happy but not more SO than a
victory ] scored over a fighter NAM
ed Louis. When we we're both am
ateurs Louis had defeated me badly
in a bout. After We became profess
SIGNALS promoters matched us be-
cause they knew I wanted TO re-
venge myself. In this second fight
l knocked Louis out n III seconds.
