PRISON. SOAP PROPOSED
Manufacture May Be Taken Up by
State Institutions.

Chairman John Norman of the
Indiana state prison trustees, and
wardens from the prison, reforma-
tory and state farm conferred with
Governor Harry G. Leslie Monday
regarding the feasibility of making
soap at the prison.
Under the law, the wardens and
trustees form an ALLEGATION of prison
industry committee which solves
such problems with the Governor.
Norman pointed out that ordi-
nary soap making is not highly
technical and easily could be adapt
ed to employ considerable num-
Der of prisoners. The soap would
be sold to various governmental in
stitutions under the "state-use" sys-
tenn, he said.

JONES LABOR POST
ABOLISHED BY DOAK
Alpine Answers Inefficiency
! Charges Made by Retir-
ing Official.

The office of director general" Of
the United States Employment Service
has been abolished by the Labor De-
partment and the issue arising from
the resignation of Francis /. Jones. who
held the position for 10 years. is closed
as far as the department is concerned,
officials announced today.
John r. Alpine, supervising director
of the service, who succeeded Mr.. Jones,
late yesterday answered charges of in
efficiency made against the service by
the retirhV officer. He said Mr. Jones
is "credittSl with statements as unfair
and unreS sonable as it Is possible for
statements to be" and they are just
another evidence Of the mans in
competency"
Mr.. Jones resigned Monday at the
demand of Secretary Doak of Labor,
who explained it was for the good of
the service"
The supervising director declared his
private office had placed hundreds OF
jobless men in the course of the days
affairs, and the employment service
has done more since April /, than Mr..
Jones did in 10 years, and that can be
proved" Mr.. Jones in his letter or
resignation to Mr.. Doak said he was
resigning because. since the reorganlZa-
ton of the service on March Is, it had
become unsatisfactory and bitterly dis
appointing" to him.
The former director generals charges,
said Mr.. Alpine, show clearly he
doesn't know what has been going on
and isn't capable of accomplishment.
Naturally, suppose he is hurt because
he has been left out of the enlarge
ment of the service"
Mr.. Alpine made public a telegram
from John Arthur Shaw, head OF the
veterans division of the organization,
which said that division had bettered
its service to veterans more since March
is than in the previous 10 years.
Mr.. Shaw sent the telegram from
Kansas City, where he is attending the
annual convention of the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars. Mr.. Jones had charged
that Secretary Doak attempted to break
down the veterans service SO as to do
more for "trainmen and labor"
Mr.. Shaw said the fact that four
service organizations have entered into
cooperative arrangements with the
employment bureau was evidence that
the veterans appreciated the service.

MUT|LAED MONEY
FOUND DN PRISONER
Kentucky Youth Declares He
Picked II Up Here--MaiI
Loot Is Doubted.
BY the AssociatedPress.

BY the AssociatedPress.
Lexington, KY, September s.
Willard Lucas, rs, was held in jail here
today while federal authorities in
yestigated his story that he found
mutilated currelcy while In Wash
ington on a hitch hiking trip.
About $400 wGth Of the worthless
bills, most of. item OF $40 and $40
denominations arri all cut In half and
punched full of 1oles, were found on
lettering charge.
When arrested, Lucas told officers he
found the money while swimming in the
river at WASHINGTON near partially
burned houseboa. In Police Court,
however, he said he found 1t on the
Washington DUMP
The bills, which showed evidence of
having been submerged in water, were
turned over to Federal authorities.
Police said they Gould easily find other
youths who Luc,s said had more Of
the damaged currency.
It was said at the Treasury today the
mutilated money found on the Lexing-
ton prisoner might have been picked up
as described, as / sometimes happened
that currency sert through the macer-
ator at the Bureau of Engraving to be
ground into pulls was not destroyed.
The bills, howeve. always are SO mutt
lated, it was said. that redemption would
be out of the question.
The Rosslyn dump occasionally yields
such a find. it vas said.
The Government formerly was able
to make profitable disposition Of this
pulp. but in the past year there has
been no market Tor it. and 1t has been
dumped.
Postal officials said there was little
likelihood that the money found on
young Lucas was part of the loot of a
mail robbery at the Union Station here
last February. in which $4,000 in mutt
lated currency vas stolen. The men
involved in the iold-up were captured
and said they had burned the currency
not recovered after their arrest.

Behind the MicrOphOne
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

THE United States Marine
Band will introduce Friday
over an N. B. C. network,
the first of a series of radio
concerts designed especially for
Shut-inS.
The idea was conceived by Capt.
Taylor Branson, director OF the
band, when he went through his
fan mail and discovered numerous
letters from the disabled, the bed
ridden and the blind.
II have been very much i'm
pressed by the scores of letters
the band has received from shut
ms during the Winter season, "
said Capt. BranSon. II am plan
ming this new series particularly
for those who are confined"
The "Shut-in" concerts will be
made up, in so far as possible.
entirely Of request numbers. The
concerts will be broadcast every
Friday morning throughout the
Summer. The entire IS pieces in
the band will be used.

A VETERAN politician said once
"A that public Office holders die,

There seems to be a glamour
and thrill about announcing that

like fever in the tropics, and there
seems to be little chance of re-

There are several former an
nouncers holding executive posi-

resist the lure of the microphone
Frequently they go back to the
studio to announce a program.
Phillips Carlin, Eastern program
director Of N. B. c., was an an

now, yet he introduces a COM

PRECISION SOUGHT
IN RADIOCASTING
U. S. Commission to Require Latest
Equipment for Eliminating
Interference.

Broadcasting stations operating with
the minute precision of fine watches are
destined to result from new technical
regulations requiring the most modern
of equipment, with interference for the
listener reduced to the minimum.
A watch of the accuracy of this new
equipment, which the Federal Radio
Commission proposes to make standard
for all stations, would not deviate from
the correct time more than one minute
in a month, according to Andrew D.
mission.
Predicts Improvement.
This may be not thought unusually
accurate for a watch" he said, but 1t
Is considered quite a step forward in
broadcasting equipment"
Mr.. Ring declared the equipment the
radio police" must use to check the
operations of stations, once the new
regulations are invoked, would have to
be about 10 times as accurate. Using
the same watch analogy, he said, that
for the Government to monitor stations
Of this accuracy, to ascertain that they
are not deviating more than one min
ute in the month, 1t would have to use
equipment that would not deviate more
than six seconds in q month, which
would be rather good even for watch. "
Move to Cut DeviatiOns.
He referred to the proposal OF the
commission to reduce the permissible
deviation or "wobble" Of stations from
their assigned frequencies by 80 per
cent. The allowable deviation now is
500 cycles on either side of the as
signed frequency and the plan is to re-
duce 1t to so cycles. Broadcasters are in
substantial agreement that this can be
done without hardship to the broadcast
ers and a regulation to this end, to be-
come effective one year from its date Of
issuance, probably will be promulgated
within a week.

RADIO SALES BOOSTED
BY INCREASED EXPORTS
Losses in Domestic Market Offset
by Growing Demand from
Other Countries,

Though domestic radio sales have
suffered considerably in the current
depression, American exports of radio
receiving sets are increasing, accord
ing to the electrical equipment division
Of the Department of Commerce In
the flrst three months of 1881. the
United States exported $2927,113
worth Of radio sets, as compared with
Sl,936,846 for the same months of
1880.
Canada continues to be the leading
market for American radios, taking
$60l ,314 worth in January, February
and March, as compared with $521,-
3l4 worth in the same months of last
year. Argentina ranked second in the
export field, taking $333,5So worth
Mexico was third, taking 1892 ,286
worth and Italy fourth, taking $685.
All worth.
In the same period, however, tube,
loud speaker and transmitting equip
ment exports fell off by about half.
Only $625,750 worth of receiving tubes
were exported during the first quarter
of 1891, compared with 1894, $50 worth
during the same period last year.

COMMUNITY RADIO, described
~ as "a corporation to be
formed" and proposing to establish
267 new broadcasting stations in
16 States, must wait until some
time in September for a hearing
before the Federal Radio Com
mission ON its application for a
reallocation of broadcaSting facili-
ties in order to accommodate
these stations. Decision to this
effect has been reached. by the
commission, which decided that
the project has too many ramifica-
tions for the usual routine hearing
and must await the end of the an
nual Summer recess usually taken
by the commission during July
and August.
Prime mover in the ambitious
project is c. r. CumminS, operator
Of Station WRAK, a 100-watter in
WilliamSport, Pa. He asks that
IS of the 80 radio channels be set
aside for localized radio services,
and that the present 10-kilocycle
separation between channels be
narrowed to two kilocycles, thus
making 125 channels available
for assignments to cities or towns
of between 10000 and 100000
population.
These cities are designated in
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Each towns power quota, accord
ing to the Cummins' scheme,
would be assigned on the basis of
one watt per 1000 inhabitants.
The plan, which opposes all
engineering theories, stands little
chance OF acceptance by the COM
mission unless some radically
new technical invention is offered
by CumminS, who states he has
$250,000 to put up as bond to
guarantee good faith. Counsel
for the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association will appear at
the hearing next Autumn to op-
pose the proposition.

NEW ANTENNA DEVISED
FOR RADIO ON PLANES
Scientists at Bureau of Standards
Perfect Type to Eliminate
Present Troubles.

Another Of the problems that have
beset the use Of radio by planes in
night has been solved by scientists at
the Bureau of Standards, with the pro-
duction of an airplane aerial which
is little affected by ice formation and
vibration.
The symmetrical longitudinal T.
antenna" is the name given the new
aerial. 1t is said to be free from
course errors in radio range beacon
reception. and vastly superior to the
conventional type now used with result
to Reformation and mechanical vi
bration.
The vertical pole antenna now is
widely used on planes for beacon re-
ception because Of its immunity to
course errors. Because this antenna
introduced difficult problems of me-
chanimal vibration as well as ice-for-
nation, the Bureaus scientists were
asked to investigate the whole field
of airplane aerials. A dozen different
methods, old and new, were studied,
modified, and subjected to practical
tests.
