MANY HURT IN
EGYPTIAN RIOT
One Killed and 81 Injured
BY Troops in Outbreak
At Cairo

CAIRO. Egypt, July 21.-CP-One
rioter was killed, 81 injured, q
seriously. by gunfire and missiles
during sever rioting which CHM
axed the political situation here
today.
TheCe wns much damage 10
property while troops, civil police
and excited students by thousands
struggled for the upper hand along
principal streets Of Cairo. In one
thoroughfare hardly a window re-
manned unbroken In the showers
OF stones and other objects hurled
by the rioters.
The troops ere obliged to use
their rifles freely. So severe was
the encounter that after the police
had obtained the upper hand
emergency relief squads lined some
Of the streets treating the injured.
More than a score were taken to
hospitals. Losses on the side OF the
police and troops we're not made
known.
The rioting crowds. furious when
news Spread that the followers or
former Premier Nahas Pasha had
called off their proposed outlaw"
parliament session, ripped up lamp
posts, barricaded a street with every
obstruction they could lay hands
on and set fire to an escaping gas
column which, however, the police
extinquished.
Twelve rioters fell In the second
volley from the troops. The first
round had been fired into the air.
This had no effect. The leaders
quickly shifted their campaign and
as a result succeeded in calming
the throngs.
Leaders Of the Wafdist party
called off their project to hold a
session Of the prorogued parlia-
ment in defiance OF Premier Ismail
Sidky Pasha, following mobiliza-
ton Of large armed forces BY the
government.
Thus the tension which awaited
the carrying out OF the Nationalist
mandate and the resultant concen-
tration OF troops lessened come
what. but marked apprehension
remained in the foreign COM
munitieS.

BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

One Of the greatest modern rom
ances Of the peerage OF Great Brit
ain and Ireland went to its final
chapter and ultimate smash the
other day when q Scotch court gave
a divorce to the Duke Of Leinster
from his Duchess on the grounds
Of her misconduct.
Starting in beauty, the story end
ed in bleak sordidness. 1t began
amid all the glamor OF the London
stage. II ended in the gloomy court
room OF the Edinburgh Court OF
Session. The woman IN the case had
boxed the compass from the dreary
London suburb OF Brixton to wear
ing the golden strawberry leaves Of
a great peeress, and then back to
Brixtno, become more dreary than
ever.
Back in 1918. in the happy-go-
lucky days before the war, OF
the reigning buds Of the London
stage was May Etheridge. She had
a big part in Princess Caprice" at
the ~Shaftesbury Theatre and was
the toast Of the town for her charm
ing youth, her dewy loneliness, her
unimpatired innocence. All the GID
ed young men of her time were
head over heels in love with her.
They bombarded her with flowers.
They filled the front rows OF the
theater night after night. They
languished for a nod OF recognition
from her shapely head. They were
overjoyed when she deigned 10 sup
with them.
Considered Great Matrimonial
Catch
Twenty-one years before. she had
been born In humble circumstances
in Brixton and had attended school
until she was 10. when she got a
minor Job on the stage. She was
quick. she a. intelligent. She rap
idly forged to the front. When she
had almost star part. one OF her
most ardent admirers was Lord
Fitzgerald. then in an Irish Guards
regiment. He was considered a great
matrimonial catch, being a younger
son Of the Duke OF Leinster, the
Premier Duke Marques and Earl
of Ireland.

very good-looking, dark-haired

Chauffeur Has a Time.
The chauffeur-John was his name
finally found the turkey at the express
depot, to which 1t had been returned,
but by that time all the butcher shops
we're closed and there was no way OF
having it killed. So John strapped the
turkey crate and all, to the trunk rack
of the car and drove home with 1t to
his own apartment. That night ne re-
leased it from the crate and allowed II
the run of the kitchen. Next morning
there was no turkey. John opened the
window and looked on the f1re escape
No turkey No turkey down in the
court either. He gave up the search
and went back to the living room, ana
there was old Texas Tom, mad all over,
perched on the nearest thing to nature
he could find in New York apartment
the unlighted gas log.
After that John couldn't kill him.
So he went out and found friend who
agreed to do the job provided John
would supply a bit of liquid encourage
ment. John was willing; in fact, he
thought he needed some himself Back
they went and took quite lot OF en-
couragement. But it wasn't enough.
Late that afternoon John and his friend
arrived at my mother-in-law's apart
ment, quite damp with gin and tears,
with old Texas Tom wrapped up in a
blanket like a baby and gobbling away
for dear life. They we're sure she could
find a larger gas log for his perch.
Being a practical woman, she sent John
and his friend home to bed and called
in the corner butcher. But a gas log
still makes me think sadly of that lone
ly and bewildered old gobbler trying to
ind homelike spot in New York.

''Grahan

TT OUR engineers could capture and
tame the static one hears in the
background of most short-wave
i transatlantic rebroadcasts the
production men in the studios
would have to look no further for a
perfect reproduction of the sound of
waves for marine settings 1t is so real
istic, in fact, that while was in Phila-
delphia last week an acquaintance
asked me if the storm at sea he had
heard while listening to one of the in
ternational programs had done any Sc
rious damaged
Smile if you want. but he is only one
of thousands, apparently. But let me say
now that what so many thought was the
sound OF the ocean was Just plain static.
The ocean had nothing to do with it.
Once radio waves leave the transmitting
station, nothing can affect them but
electrical disturbances. A whole war
could be staged between the transmitter
and the receiving set and not a rifle
shot would be picked up. But a thun-
derstorm nearby might very well sound
in the receiving set like a couple of
wars rolled into one.
Speaking of waves, I was asked the
other day how wavelengths are mea-
sured. Well, can't remember the
names of all the instruments used, but
it boils down to the fact that the mum
Der OF radio waves hitting a certain
spot in a second can be measured by
the proper instruments. This number
gives one directly the frequency, or
number of kilocycles. Scientists know
that radio waves travel with the speed
of light. 10000 miles per second
Waves travelling at that speed and ar
irving at a given point at a definite
time interval must necessarily be a GER
tain definite distance apart. And that
figure is the wavelength. So far as
the dials on receiving sets are concern
ed, meters and kilocycles express the
same thing in different terms.
Wanted to See Them.
But when a dear old lady came to
the studios some weeks ago and asked
to be shown where we kept the wave
lengths, the studio staff was stumped
She wanted to see them badly and she
wasn't at all satisfied when the hostess
badly puzzled but trying to be obliging
told her they are kept at the transmit
tiers, 80 miles out of town.
