Years of Experiments

And so, during 1881, our engi- neers have continued their studies of television problems as applied to the sending of television signals, conducting numerous tests and in vestigations that must lead eventu- ally to the inauguration of public television service on a plane com parable with other broadcast &C., complishments.
 "The television researches are being conducted from several points. Transmitters have been op- erated from the Times Square stu dio, in the RIGA building, and more recently from the lofty top of the Empire State building, all in New York.
 "The broadcasts are not intended at this time for the general public or even the television experimenter at large. They possess no entertain ment value. Their sole purpose at

 IS NOT HERE
Stat m ent Is Issued by President of One
 Broadcast Network

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Althcugh television experimentation goes on apace with little or no ballyhoo from those behind the scenes, one broadcast network does not feel that it is here" yet.
 It believes that more time must elapse-how much is not stated before the public or even the ex- perimenters can expect fairly reliable picture service.
 These views are expressed in a statement by M. H. Ayleswarth, president of NEG, in which he re- cites what broadcasting accom- pished in 1881.
 Various interests already have placed television apparatus on the market" he says. The broadcast ing of television programs has been undertaken by others. But from the NEG standpoint television is not yet ready for the general public.
 While the company takes cog nizance of the work being done in the receiver field, it does not be- lieve that the time has arrived yet for visual broadcasting on regular program basis.

Aristide Briand, however, stated during the League council meeting in January, 1881, that, in case the entire draft convention including Article 53 should fail of adoption, Germany would be responsible for the failure of the arms conference.
 The French note of July 16, 1881, signed by Briand, means nothing less than that France is not willing to recognize Gerrnany's just de- mands at Geneva, but that, on the contrary, France already is de- termined so to influence world opinion that Germany's demands will be turned down.
 What are we to deduce from this?
 We demand before the entire world, as a member of the League of Nations enjoying equal rigllti with others, that on the basis Of justice and of German security Germany be restored to her moA fundamental rights of sovereignty equality, and sovereignty in mat ters of defense!
 We don't want a new war, but we do want a new peace We want reconciliation, but not submission
 Gerrnany's poverty and her win to peace do not permit of any com petition in armaments. In SO far as she is able, however, Germany wants within her own territory and according ot her own notions to carry out the measures deemed necessary for the security, defense, health, education of her youth, and nationalism.
 If the youth in a country as poor and as humiliated as Ger many are not driven into the arms of bolshevism, then it must be trained in the service to the father land.
 Equality Demanded
 We believe that one of the first assurances vouchsafed to Germany at Geneva must be equality, for otherwise the rest of the nations would blame her for the failure. If this equality is not vouchsafed, what further point is there for her to remain in the league?
 Our quitting the league would endanger the very existence of this institution. We are determined fur ther than ten annual classes of German young people shall not, in contrast to the youth of all other enter upon life without having been taught how to defend their country.
 We don't want any longer to live in serfdom and uncertainty; we demand security, liberty, and peace.

Committee Studied Question

The Senate Committee spent sev- eral weeks in Alaska last summer and it's invstigation covered the question of a bear reserve in South east Alaska. It inquired into the reported scarcity of bears on Ad- miralty and Chichagof Islands and was apparently convinced it was unfounded.
 Senator Walcott, Chairman in an interview given The Empire, said the committee would favor the cre- ation of national park in the Glacier Bay region which, he point- ed out, would constitute a bear sanctuary as well as serve other purposes. That district is already a national monument.

 CAPITOL SCREEN
Comedy with Reginald Denny Will Begin
 Showing Tonight

What A Man." fast moving comedy, begins showing tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 Tonight is China Night Every woman who attends either per- formance will receive piece of table chinaware.
 In What A Man." Reginald Denny has the star role. He plays the part of a likable tramp.
 Dennys tramp is a tramp with a difference, for in spite of few days growth of beard and silent pockets, there's more than hint that he's seen better days. Little tricks of speech and maner, un- noticed at first, lead to the suspl- cion that this bum may be a crook or gentleman out of luck Ana this notion is confirmed as the story develops.
 Helps Repair Automobile Finding it difficult to obtain work, Denny happens along just in time to help repair a stalled auto mobile. Its owner and occupant, much to the despair of her hus- band and children, has made it her hobby to help just such tramps. Finding him a capable chauffeur and mechanic, she gives him job and with it a place in her house. hold.
 Of course the family is incensed. Even the butler hands in his two weekes' notice. Most indignant of all is the lovely daughter of the house, Eileen, who resents Denny as an intruder.
 Victim of Tamily Prejudices
 Denny is an innnocent victim of the family's prepudices, but so long as his employer has her way, he sticks to the job. Subsequent de- velopments reveal his true iden- tity, although he himself has not done anything to indicate who hs is Of course there are complica- cations of the heart, and the un- usual twists that the author, E. J. Rath, has provided in the novel, "The Dark Chapter" on which the film is based, keep one amused and guessing right along.
 Miriam Seegar, blond beauty, enacts the role of the daughter.

 HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 19-One of the screens greatest matinee idols and he wants to EIe a rolling stone.
 Sitting on the set, Clark Gable admitted to me he still can't be- lieve his good fortune-fortune that has enabled him, in one year to play opposite Joan Crawford, Nor ma Shearer, Grista Garbo and now Marion Davies.
 The strange part of it, he doesn't want to go on with this glamorous life indefinitely. What he really wants, he confesses, is $2OO,000 and a chance to travel in the out-of- the-way places of the world.
 T signed my g. year contract against the advice of my agent and even my wife" he told me. My object was to get enough to retire on. And I was willing to devote five years of my life to it. Maybe I won't last that long on the screen. I'm not a great actor and I never will be. But believe I know my business. You can't work for 10 years with veteran stage stars and not absorb something"
 Already, Clark is laying his plans for the future T own two cars, which I paid cash for" he explain ed to me. T rent my apartment but for six months, not a year. don't even own my furniture I'm saving my money"
 This actor, who has set film fans agog the world over, doesn't know much about Hollywood social life. Marion Davies has introduced him to most of the stars he has met.
 But he is purpoSsful man, one who is likely to realize his ambi- tions. If he still desires it, you can look to see him a rolling stone in 1886.

Take Prohibition Oui OF Politics

There seems to be lot of excitement in Wash
ington and among politicians on the question OF
whether or not the question Of repeating the eight
eenth amendment should be submitted to the people
OF the United States for national referendum vote.
Because the proposition has it's origin on the wet side
Of the question: great many eminent drys are OPP
posed to it.
We would hate to see the next presidential cleo
ton complicated by the prohibition issue We think
that issues far vital to the welfare OF the ma
lion ought to occupy the public mind during the next
calnpa en- Prohibition is question which almost eV-
crybody approaches eotlonally, and which obscures
al; other questions when it is one OF the issues IN
political campaign.
It seems to us that there is very simple, prac-
tica and effective way Of taking prohibition entirely
out Of the next presidential campaign. That is for
both parties, Republican and Democratic alike, in
their national conventions next june to adopt plat
form plank agreeing to put through resolution for
a national referendum on prohibition. That would alb
solutey insure the referendum, because whichever
side was victorious would be under a pledge, and
neither party would be in position to block such
move for political reasons
We do not know of any intelligent drys who think
that the sentiment Of the country is wet. We know
great many vets who are sure that public sentiment
would be overwhelmingly against prohibition. The
only people who could oppose referendum are the
vets who are afraid that the country might vote dry
and the drys who are afraid that the country might
vote wet.
We know this suggestion will not appeal to the
folks who want to keep the prohibition issue in poll
tics We offer it just for the reason that we don't be-
leve prohibition has proper place in national poll
tics.

Fixing Boundaries of Districts Caus-
ing Worry for Board.
By Scripps-HOtcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-The
end of its first week of organization
today found the new federal home
loan bank board struggling with its
original problem of establishing
boundaries of the eight to twelve
districts in which the system will
operate.
Absence of accurate figures in the
various states on the amount of
mortgages on homes valued at $780,
900 or less is hampering the board
in fixing the district lines, Frank
lin w. Fort, board chairman, said.
Before any district is established,
Fort said, the board must be salts
fed that loaning institutions in the
district can provide the minimum
capitalization of 100000 required
for each regional bank.
The home loan act provides that
loan associations, savings banks and
other institutions becoming mem
berS of the system shall buy stock
at the rate of per cent of their
mortgage holdings.
