RADIO.AUTO HOOK.UP
FACING OPPOSITION
BY ]. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 2e.-It Is re-
ported in radio circles here, although
not offlcially, that the Department of
Justice at Washington has begun an
investigation of the radio hook-up of
Radio Corporation of America, General
Electric and Westinghouse.
The independent radio group is &C
lively opposed to the new hook-up.
They have already formally asserted
that the agreement Is in violation of
the Sherman act and have demanded
that the Attorney General conduct an
investigation.
Legislators say the new agreement
parallels a situation which came to the
fore last year when demand was made
General Motors, be asked to explain
their huge purchases of United States
Steel. The independent radio manufac-
turerS declare that the new hook-up
removes from the field the one factor
which could have competed with Radio
Corporation-namely, General Motors.
They add that this has given impetus
to the alleged croSS-licensing program
of r. c. A. The latter is to grant its
licenses under all Its patents to Gen
eral Motors.
Defenders Of the new DEVELOPMENT
declare that the alliance will enable
Genera Motors legitimately to utilize
its facilities and equipment and outlets
to best advantage.
The arrangement has not alone caused
an upheaval in the radio manufacturing
industry, although mergers among the
independents are being discussed. It
has caused q mild CONFUSION in auti,-
mobile manufacturing, auto body build
ing and motor designing circles.
Some automotive engineers declare
they see in it policy on the part of
General Motors to "let well enough
alone" so far as mechanical innovations
are concerned. They indicate a be-
lief the big company will avoid radical
engine changes and will confine altera-
tons for some time to 'refinements.
They add that, while mechanical de-
sign and eye appeal have been stressed
in squirting sales of motor cars, this is
the first time ear appeal has been made
a prime factor.

the struggles and trials through which
the currency Of the United States

Alexander Hamilton became the father

Wills.
Not only on the Sabbath did Solo,
mon offer burnt offerings, but every
day. In every day there was place for
worship as we'll as on the Sabbath. We
often say that each day has its own
work. But it Is also true that each day
allow each day to have its own worship,
we would be the better prepared for
each days work.
A great many people wear their re-
ligion as they wear their Sunday
clothes: they put 1t on on Sunday and
lock 1t UP In the wardrobe on Sunday
night.
What we need is everyday religion
a religion that will 60 all through our
lives. Our Monday manners ought to
be as pleasing as our Sunday manners.
We should be as good and pleasant at
home as at church. Our attitude at the
bank ought to harmonic with our at
titude at the altar. There should be
no disparity between what we profess
on Sunday and what we practice on
week days. If there is anything in our
everyday life that will not stand for
the presence Of the ideals we proclaim
of that element the better. There
should be no inconsistency between that
portion of our life that we call secu-
lar and that we call sacred.
Religion belongs to the shop as well
as the sanctuary, the play room as well
as the prayer room. It Is intended for
daily wear. Keep it locked UP In the
wardrobe during the week and it be-
comes musty. The only religion worth
while is the everyday religion.

Louis XXI Of France was superstitiouS.
For instance, whenever he received bad
news he at once got rid forever Of the
clothes he was wearing when the bad
news came.
It seems strange that a man who was
otherwise clear-sighted could have been
guilty of such an absurdity. He had
ment of a national independence ana
dignity; he had promoted the interests
of the French middle classes and plotted
the destruction of the old feudal society;
he assisted the free development OF in
dustry and trade; he encouraged Scien-
tific study, particularly OF medicine, and
he instituted many other things OF
value to the public. Yet he succumbed
to the strangest and most unreasonable
Whims
He had q ridiculous horror Of death,
and became inordinately cruel In his
later days. An astrologer, having pre-
dicted a certain woman's death within
a year and the prediction coming true,
Louis summoned him to his presence.
He arranged with his servants that at
a given signal from him they would
hurl the astrologer from the window,
which was high up in the castle wall.
You pretend" the King told his
visitor, ito be able to foretell the fate
longer you will live"
The man either had been warned Of
the fate intended for him or he was
quick-witted.
IT shall die three days before your
majesty" he said calmly.
Needless to say, he was not thrown
from the window. Indeed, Louis saw

to it that he received the tenderest at
tention from that time on.
James Coettier, the Kings doctor,
knowing his fear of death, played upon
1t with brutal rudeness But so abject
was Louis that he did nothing more
than to complain Of 1t to those OF his
household who were close to him. A
favorite remark of Coettier's was:
II know very well that some fine
morning you'll send me where you've
sent so many others, but, 'Sdeath, you'll
not live a week after!"
Louis, reminded thus of his depen-
dence upon the physician, would caress
him, coax him, increase his salary, and
present him with rich lordships.
One day in his presence an orison
asking st. Eutropius to grant health to
his soul and health to his body was
presented.
"The latter will be enough" said
Louis. ut is not right to bother the
saint for too many things at once"
Louis had hopes of escape from his
final illness, but Coettier brutality told
him his end was at hand. whereupon
he is said to have acted with the cour-
age and dignity befltting king. He
gave minute orders regarding his funeral
and tomb.
There is something pathetic in his
final request. He asked that his statue
should not represent him as he was in
bent back-but as he was in the vigor
of his youth, his face rather full, his
nose Aquiline, and his hair long and
falling on his shoulders.
Though he had rendered his country
many services, his reign had been OPP
presSive. His death was not nourned.

At that, some Of them forgot their

Fred Karno, who discovered Charles
Spencer Chaplin in the London music
halls, is in Hollywood on a fve-year
comedy contract.
He has made two valuable contribu-
tions to the laughter OF gelatln-lovlng
people. Stan Laurel, for years Chaplin
understudy, is another Of his discoveries.
Hal Roach has coaxed Karno to movie
land to see what such mind Tor humor
can do with the materials furnished by
this hub of the entertainment world
Charles Chaplin says this OF him:
"All the equipment and training ]
brought to films gained in Fred Kar-
nos famous pantomime troupe. Tnere
could have been no better school Tor
motion picture mime"
In 1914 Charlie Chaplin's salary was
$40 a week. At that time Mack Sennett
saw him in New York in Karnos pro-
duction, "A Night in an English Music
Hall" and offered the comedian twice
his salary to come to California to make
a motion picture.
Stan Laurel was then Chaplins I'M
derstudy.
In the brief Is years which have
interviewed some dozen pictures nave

Laurel during the year passed has come
into his own, together with Babe Hardy,
the other member of one Of the funniest
duos in cinema history.
Two years after Chaplin come to Hoi-
lywood Stan Laurel went on the vaude-
vile circuit with an act based on an an
imitation of Chaplin, who in that "a
months had made an lndellole impress
sion on the public.
In 1917 Chaplin ran into Laurel in
Los Angeles. Laurel was still playing
vaudeville, and Chaplin persuaded him
to come into motion pictures. Chaplin
has guided the course Of many people
into the channels of success. But Stan

Together these two have developed q
new type Of comedy. 1t has not lost
through talk, as with most Of the funny
men. Rather is the hun1or intensified.
Babe Hardy has a voice which supple
ments his funny face, and Laurers
weeping technique is appreciated by a
rapidly increasing audience.
Now into the field comes the man
who made these two-a little genius OF
pantomime, who has never faced mo-
