people more conscious of the fine spirit OF their

1t is difficult for any American to think about
Lincoln tUithout being proud.
IOEN DRINKWATER was speaking, the IA
~ NOUS English poet-dramatiSt whose play,
abraham Lincoln" is still remembered as
having caught and forever preserved the hu-

the great Emancipator. And because this
drama left audiences and critics in London.

Americas inheritance from Lincoln is diff
fcuIt to define in few words" continued the
author with a friendly smile. THE same thing
happens in life as in art. In poetry, for in
stance, a thing isn't complete until it is ex-
pressed. Poets are inarticulate until their work
is on the printed page Conception gives it life.
THE same is true of a people or a nation.
The character exists only in the actual be-
havior and conduct. For a man or nation
to be vaguely good and have fine feelings is no
use if these impulses are not expressed. In a
country and in man the superlative degree
expresses the national characteristics These
are communicated to a people just like poem.
THE value of men like Lincoln to the world
is that they do express the final superlative as
poets of the country'S character. When you
are conscious of your virtues proudly so, they
become more active in themselves This feeling

them a character and interest that

It cannot be said that this hui

program. 1t seems that letting go
has not as yet become second nature
and it is still too early to decide II
it makes for greater individuality.
Until now Heifetz has been I'M
personal in his playing and this de-
tachment, combined with the crystal
brilliancy of his technic has made
him unique as a violinist. One re-
gretted somewhat, yesterday, that
eery playing and yet the additional
note held the attention.
Although one may be divided IN
opinion as to his temperament, he
remains always sincere and master
of style. His program gave ample
proof Of this. The Mozart concerto
In A major was q filigree of dell

INDUSTRIAL RESERVE

Would Guard Against Future De.

of Boom Times.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December ITO mini
mize future depressions, Prof. Sumner
H. Slichter of Harvard, proposed today
that industry in boom times establish
reserve fund in Federal Reserve banks
His proposal was made at an economic
round table of the American Society oi
Mechanical Engineers.
This fund would be an unemployment
reserve and would be accumulated out
of the extra profits Of boom times. The
trustees of such funds, Prof. Snchter
proposed, would be commercial banks
authorized to deposit them in Federal
Reserve banks.
This, he said, would mean that dur
ing boom times when premium re-
ceipts exceeded benefit payments
funds would move from the CONNER
cial into the Reserve banks. One re-
suit would be to check tendency OF
banks at such times to permit an ex-
cessive expansion of credit. 1t Is proba-
BILE at some stages that the funds would
flow into the Reserve banks too rap
idly. The latter institutions could Off
set this by investing more heavily in
securities.

TELEWS|ON FIELD
GROWS BROADER
Philadelphia Company Gets
Latest License to Carry

BY ROBERT MACK.

BY degrees, the little army OF tele-
vision experimenters in this country is
becoming more formidable through the
authorization of new stations by the
Federal Radio Commission. Already 23
stations are licensed for regular trans
mission of pictures, with nine trans
mitting sight synchronized with SOUND,
Seven other experimental stations have
been authorized and dozen applica-
tionS now are pending before the COM
mission.
The latest application to be granted
Is that of the Philadelphia Storage
Battery Co. Despite objections raised
by R. C. A-Victor Co. of Camden, N. j.,
one of the foremost experimenters,
but whose operations have been
shrouded in secrecy. the commission has
granted the application OF the Phlla-
delphia concern for the right to en-
gage in televiSion experiments in. both

fore the commission. R. c. A, now
licensed for the same channels, pro-
tested that serious interference would
result if the application were granted,
because of the proximity Of Phila-
delphia to Camden. 1t declared It's
experimentation was such that i
could not share these facilities and
that it already had invested some ST.
100000 in television experimentation.
Sustaining the recommendation OF
Examiner Elmer w. Pratt. who pre-
sided at the hearing November 4, the
commission held that televisiCn licenses
are issued on an experimental basis
only. The regulations provide that
any qualified applicant may procure
facilities and ttat other users OF eX-
perimental waves must share operating
hours with such new licensees.

The Washington newspapers report
that new plans are to be drafted for the

further action in the matter by April Is.
Il have received a number of CON-
plants from persons interested in the
project, who feel there has been undue
delay in starting construction, as the
necessary land has been purchased and
the money for beginning the buildings
has been available for almost year.
Facilities Inadequate.
II am sure the Commissioners are
informed Of the total inadequacy Of
our present hospital facilities for tuber-

ciate the necessity OF proceeding with
the work as soon as possible.
In view of the wide interest in the
subject, I should like to be informed

to whether, in the judgment of the
Commissioners. there has been any

Early this week the Commissioners
rejected all bids for a nurses home as

said, were not within the allotment
for that purpose. The present plan
OF the Commissioners is to seek bids

The idea of making Chicago the
forty-ninth state is one of seven
roads out of the jungle" of local
governments presented by Professor
Merriam.
His report, an impartial study,
was sent to Governor Elect Henry
Homer and Representative Elmert
]. Schnackenberg, chairman of the
legislative committee which is con
sidering the possibilities of consol-
idation.
The statehood plan involves fed
Grated independence for corporate
Chicago, or TOR the Cook county
area within Illinois, or for the en-
tire region, including parts of Wis
consin and Indiana.
DownState hostility to such a
plan might not be complete, in view
OF the possibility, he pointed out,
that a growing Chicago region
means inevitable political control of
the state by the METROPOLIS.
