Even women with trained musical
ears have heard the mouse sing ind
vouch for the little rodents ability.
For several weeks members Of
the Hay family heard strange bird
like notes in the house and the
sound was attributed to the "sing..
ing" of gas meter that needed
oil. One morning recently Mrs.
Hay heard the ehirping trills before
the gas meter went into operation.
She called her two sons and closed
the doors of the room.

tions today speeded prepara-
tions to heap honors upon

ROYAL FLOWERS
TENDED ALL YEAR
Continuous Gardening Re

Ready for Needs.

LONDON, June 1.-The royal gar
dens Of London, supposedly the haunts
of kings, queens and innumtrable
princes and princesses, are kept in
full bloom the season round only by
dint of year-long gardening by Thomas
Hay, superintendent Of the royal parks
and gardens.
The first Spring weather left the
neat little beds ablaze with vari-colored
tulips. More than $4,000 scarlet
ones opened in the front yard of
Buckingham Palace, theoretically for
the pleasure of the royal inhabitants,
but actually for the delight of the
thousands of Londoners who file past
the palace daily to see the progress of
the flower beds.
In a carefully inclosed five-acre lot
in Hyde Park Mr.. Hay is tenderly cul-
tivating the dahlias, fieraniums, panSies,
stocks, forget-me-nots and phloX that
will succeed the tulips when their brief
day is over.
Mr.. Hay, with his weather eye out
every day. decides the day for the
rotation, the day when it shall be "the
tulips are dead, long live the dahlias."
In a strictly methodical order he has
plants for future planting ready to be
picked up at a moments notice to fill
a brown dirt bed. There are 10000
pansies, 10000 v~iolets, $4,000 dahlias,
80, 1000 chrysanthemums. 5000 ~viscarias

complaint in disbarment proceedings
against Ben B. Lindsey, former juvenile
Judge, has been offered by Robert E.

COMMISSION
APPEALS WGY RULE
Supreme Court Is Asked to
Review Case Lost in
Lower Tribunals.

Having met with defeat in the lower
courts in its efforts to compel wGY.
the General Electric Co.'S Schenectady
station, to share time with another sta
ton. the Federal Radio Commission
yesterday asked the Supreme Court of
the United States to review the case.
The General Electric station, under a
decision recently rendered by the Dis
trict of Columbia Court of Appeals, is
operating full time with a power of
SO. 900 watts on the 790-kilocycle chan
mel. It appealed from a commission
order to share the channel with KGO,
its Oakland, Calf, station.
Other Cases Pending.
If the writ of certiorari filed with the
Supreme Court today is allowed, the
WGY cases, along with several other
radio cases, probably will come before
the courts in the ext term. Two other
cases, White VS.. Federal Radio Commits
sion. and United States VS.. American
Bond & Mortgage Co, which were de-
cided in favor of the commission, also
are expected to each the Supreme
Court in the near uture.
In the WGY case, no attempt yet
has been made to file a petition for
mandamus or prohibition to require the
justices Of the Court of Appeals to con-
fine their jurisdiction to its proper
scope" B. M. Webster. jr., general
counsel of the commission. stated today,
but such a remedy may be available,
II. for some technical reason limiting
its use. the writ of. certiorari cannot be
issued to compel the lower court to send
up the record and judgment for review
A~~ A. V--
When the Radio Commission denied
WGY'S application for renewal Of it's
license on a full-time basis, it took the
position that the General Electric Co.
was not entitled to a hearing unless it
applied for a cleared channel assigned
to the first me which includes New
York. The 790-kilocycle channel had
been assigned to the Far Western
States of the fifth zone The Court of
Appeals, however. held that public in
terest warranted renewal Of a full-time
basis, n directed the commission to
issue such a license.
The judgment had the effect of de-
priving the fifth zone of a cleared
channel, reducing the total number of
such channels to &c." Mr.. Webster
pointed out, land, in part. 1t i%nvalidat-
ed the commissions reallocation m
bodied in General Order 40 and re-
quired by the Davis amendment, for it
upset the designation of eight cleared
channels to each of the S zones"
The commission further contends
that the Court of Appeals had no power
to assess costs against the commission,
especially costs in favor of the people
of the State of New York, who, 1t asserts,
have no standing on the appeal.
