1t is not necessary to wait and
agree on some complicated plan or
system. 1t is not necessary to de-
mand huge appropriations or create
elaborate new government BOARDS.
There are no particular salaries con-
nected with the carrying out of these
suggestions. At the same time we
wish to point out that the adoption
of these suggestions, either in whole
or in part, will not interfere with
the consideration of any other plan.
The adoption of some or all of
these suggestions could be accom-
plished, we believe, without contro-
versy. If brought properly before
congress and if backed by sentiment
it might be possible to adopt most
of them without delay.

NEW CREAMERY is

The early erection of the long
looked-for new creamery building at
Norseland will be the outstanding de-
velopment of the year in Nicollet
county creamery circles. A new
structure has been practically as
sured by the Norseland Creamery

A. They are being given in increas-
ing numbers throughout the country.
Last week we had Eva LIE Caffeine,
director of the Civic Repertory Theater
of New York, with reading from ID
sens "Hedda Gabler." am informed
that several broadcasting companies are
planning to put number OF dst1n-
guished actors and actresses on the air
this Winter with readings from great
plays.
q. How far has the use of radio
progressed in the detection OF crime
What police departments are using it?--
c. L. Billiard, Boston.
A: Police automobiles are now equip
ped with radio receivers in Chicago,
Detroit and Cleveland. and they soon
will be installed in New York, with
several other cities experimenting. The
Radio Commission is alloting channels
with hroadcasting on ITS to 200 meters.
So far it has been extremely successful.
Cruising police cars get message from
headquarters, which shoots them to the
scene of a crime. There Is no waiting
for a man on a beat to ring in and
no long run from a possibly remote
police station. This is just in the be-
ginning, but it looks as If radio would
eventually be credited with q large
contribution to the checking OF crime.

it is who has the ball and is circiing

He is clear, but will that runner over
take him? Then there is the question
of kicking the goal. The high moments
are never sharpened to quite SO fine a
point as in base ball. But in foot ball
there is more continuous drama. Base
ball may drag through many scoreless
innings, with no hits, but particularly
in the modern open game foot ball. pro-
vides a pretty steady excitement. AS
to my own preferences, my emotions

ing doings in either game. I am no
calm and deliberate judge.
Stimulation of Interest.
I am informed that the success of the
recent Al Jolson- Beebe Daniels and Ann
Pennington program, in which New
York and Los Angeles both participated,
has stimulated a great deal of interest
in the elaboration of this idea, by which
an unprecedented national participa-
ton in big special programs could be
attained. If the event is important
enough, it would be possible, of course,
to have a half dozen cities in as many
sections of the country Ginning in as
easy and naturally as male quartet
in close harmony. Some one has Sug-
gested q Fourth of July celebration,
with all sections of the country taking
part, with perhaps the Negroes of the
cotton fields following the lumherjacks
of Oregon with a song.
OF course, there is no reason to stop
with Just the United States. There
could be, and undoubtedly will be, world
radio programs, not only heard but par
ticipated in by many nations. Already
European observers have noted that the
interchange of radio programs is begin

and new facility in foreign languages.

Little Red School Debate.
Some OF the questions get remind me
Of the old debate in the little red school
house az to whether the singing of a
frog is more pleasing than that Of a
katydid. Folks like to balance one
thing against another and make COM
parsons. I am often asked whether,
having seen the major contests in base
ball and foot ball for many years,
prefer one or the other as sport.
Not that consider this personal
preference, whatever 1t may be, a mat
ter of profound Importance, but I have
been interested in stacking up the dra-
matte qualities of the two sports after
my long exposure to the thrill-produc-
ing powers of both of them. So far as
I am concerned, the result seems incon-
elusive. but on the whole it appears to
me that base bah packs a more explo-
sive thrill IN those rare moments Of the
big doings.
Possibly 7 have been applying the
standards of radio broadcasting in
reaching this conclusion. That incredi-
BILE last inning of the world series at
Philadelphia is a case in point. When
the ball went over the right-f1eld fence
the entire situation was flashed up in
q fraction OF the second. 1t meant the
tying of the score. With Miller's sub
sequent hit, the result was as clear and
quick as q flash of lightning. AS
said before, base ball Is explosive, and
so are your emotions.
But in foot ball the thrill is spread
out Just little thinner. There may be

event of this sort will spend many

race is to be held. Among the rules,

ment. There Is a rule which states
that, in order to count, each race must

"A and Baltimore are scheduled

bosses tomorrow when they
battle in a 36-holc medal play ioust
over the course of the Congressional
Country Club for the assistants title
won last year by Tony Penna, who then
was attached to Congressional Club.
Just at present, and at a distant
guess made many hours before hostilities

resolve itself into a trial of strength
between Sidney c.. Moore, assistant to
Alex Armour of Congressional, and the
modest little Gene Larkin, assistant TO
Bob Barnett at Chevy Chase, who
sports the Maryland open crown on
his sorrel locks. Golf is such a queer
game, with so many upSets likely to
occur that these two may be showed

the coming cup races will be covered by
airplanes, but the most comfortable
manner in which to see them would be
to rent a cottage at Newport for the
season and borrow the Lick telescope.
Practically everything has been ar
ranged for. except the wind. Something
really should be done about this. At
the last series of cup races there were
days when there wasn't enough breeze
to push a strand of cobweb from the
perpendicular and this practically ruined
the tension. The boats got across the
starting line, but the problem was to
get them back again. They were not
provisioned for a sojourn at sea and
were too big to row.
