These United States still lead all the
rest of the world combined in the mat
ter of radio broadcasting stations.
There never has been any question
about the superiority of this country in
quality of programs.
Latest reports to the Commerce De-
partment show that in all foreign
countries there are but $40 broadcast
ing stations-just about 100 less than
the total within the borders of the
United States. At this writing there
are 6l9 broadcasting stations in this
country licensed to operate.
Radio authorities of the United
States have been endeavoring to reduce
the number of stations OH the air so
as to remove congestion and eliminate
interference to reception. In most other
countries the trend has been to license

FASTER TRAIN SCHEDULE

A new train schedule for trans
continental railroads operating be-
tween Chicago and north Pacific
Coast points is to be put into effect
early this summer, probably in June,
that will clip five hours from the
running time of the present schedule
The Olympian, the crack train of the
Milwaukee, is one of the trains that
will adopt the new schedule. The
Milwaukee railroad has the shortest
route between Chicago and the cities
on the north Pacific Coast and is
the only road operating through
trains over its own rails the entire
distance. The Milwaukee is the only
road that has any important amount
of its mileage electrified in the West,
being electrified across four mountain
ranges and the only road having new
through trains equipped with roller
bearings.

White Bluffs School News

DR.. Edwin Twitmeyer, the State
Inspector Of Schools visited the
High School Wednesday. This is his
first visit for about two years.
He visited several classes and gave
speech before the assembly. In his
speech, he emphasized four points
tnoroughr.ess, health, work and char.
acter. He compared the world to
baseball diamond-on which every
man or woman is player. He told the
pupils not to "die on third. AS an
example, he gave the story Of base
bail game in Detroit, Michigan: the
score was tie, and one Of the Detroit
players was on third base. 1t was
necessary for this man to reach home
safely-or Detroit would lose the
game ~
There were two things he could do
wait for. the batter tc ''bat" him off,
or he could leave on bis own initiative.
The latter was not particularly good
If the man on third waited for a
hit, he might not get in safely On
the other hand, he might run the nine
ty feet from third to home, and arrive
before the ball could travel the sixty
feet from the pitcher to the catcher
The man on third CHANGED it and he
was successful.
One of the reasons for his success
was his health; he didn't drink, nor
smoke. He respected his body and
kept it clean so that he could succeed
in such places as this DR.. Twitneyer
urged the students to keep clean
body so that they would have the en-
durance and health 70 win.
He also urged them to be thorough
in every thing they cid and not to be
afraid of work Or. Twitmeyer, him
self is still very active and mot afraid
of work.. He looks forward with
dread to the time when he must quit
working.
Another point that he brought for
ward was character. He named the
three men to whom the Roosevelt
Medals were awarded recently.
Ore of these lien was Colonel
Charles A. Lindberg. The medal was
not awarded for the Colonel's Spec.
tacular flight across the Atlantic;
it was for his strength and character
for although praises and offers
heaped upon him afterward- Lind
berg did not become conceited, and
even before his flight he kept his body
clean and in good health.
