comes of it or not. 1t makes such
a nice subject for off days.
And with Mr.. Wells setting the
pace there was deal of interplane-
tary fiction a generation ago. And
also drama. One of the favorite
plays of my youth was THE Man
From Mars" in which Charles Haw-
trey played. can't remember who
wrote it.
There was, I distinctly recollect,
a moral lesson in the piece. One
line still rings through my head. "In
Mars we call it otherdom," the mes
senger from that distant planet used
to say. And if this old brain does
not deceive me, the point of the
plot hinged upon the fact that the
Marian brought sweetness, light
and unselfishness to a rather beastly
British household.
Of course, his missionary efforts
were aided little by the fact that
he possessed some sort of magical
electrical power by which he could
thrust out one finger and knock
down somebody who stood all the
way across the room.
A great many evangelical cam
paigns are based on that same the
DRY. The sinner gets a chance to
repent, and if he doesn't take it he
receives a sock in the nose.

The Radio Decree

Only time can disclose whether the public or the
Radio Corporation and its associate companies actu-
ally have trumphed in the consent decree which ends
the governments radio antitrust prosecution.
Apparently the close grip on radio patents which
resulted in oppressive fees for their use has been
broken The American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany General Electric, and Westinghouse will license
for use of their patents hereafter as we'll as RCA.
IN an attempt to assure real competition in
licensing the government has stipulated that General
Electric and Westinghouse must dvest themselves of
all stock holdings in RCA, and has forbidden them
to acquire stock in the future or to be represented
at its board.
Occasionally, consent DEGREES have accomplished
the purposes for which they were intended but some
times they have not The aluminium trust. for in
stance probably has ourshed more since the consent
decree to which it agreed in 1912 than before.
Constant attention on the part of the government
and unfaing concern the part of the public always
are necessary if the ground gained in any such fight
is to be retained
Whatever are the developments of the next few
years, the fight against monopoly in the radio in
dustry has been decidedly worth making to date In
It's earlier stages it has been marked by various VIC
tories in the courts and by considerable reduction
In royalties charged independent radio manufacturers
More important STILL it has educated the American
people concerning conditions in one of their most i'm
portant industries and undoubtedly has fastened the
day when the federal government will regulate com
municaton systems of all kinds and endeavor to bring
about their development primarily in the interest of
national and individual well-being
Communication affects national thought and
opinion, understanding. and good will among states
and among nations, business development, national
safety. An eventual victory which will assure public
control over this most vital element in modern life
will be far important than one merely promising
competition in manufacture of radio equipment and
lower prices to purchasers.

"TTNHAT is old stuff about Mars"
4 writes Hendrick Willem Van
Loon
About forty years ago Russian
mathematician reasoned as follows:
If there are people on Mars and
they are at all like us, they will
have developed some system Of
mathematics.
I'm that case they must have hit
upon the Pythagorean theorem -
the square of the hypotenuse is
equal to the sum of the squares
erected on the two other sides-or
whatever it is called in English.
That part of my career is still Dutch
to me.
Nov, all we need do is to make
a giant theorem in electric lights
on the Russian steppes and Mars
will see it. They almost can see the
Chinese wall, the only piece of hui
man construction enormous enough
in scope to be seen from afar. But
when they see the Pythagorean
theorem they will say: How come?
There must be human beings on
that lousy little planet we see in
our telescopes
"Of course, nothing ever came of
it, but the Russian was forty years
ahead of the London professor
whom you mention today"

Loughran in Philadelphia next

fans believe he would put up a
good battle against any other
heavyweight but Ramage.

CLEE
CLUBS CONCERT
PROVES PLEASING

Whittier ollege mems glee club
under the auspices of the local Ro-
tary club, gave a splendid concert
last night in the Wilson school
which deserves credit for being ut
terly different from the usual Ster-
eotyped glee club program.
An excellent variety was present.
ed in the program selections, and
the ensemble work was particularly
effective. The club is composed of
25 students and a remarkable fea-
ture of their work is that they sing
without director.
In addition to the ensemble num-
bers several solos were given, in
cluding a brilliant accordian num-
Der and splendid piano solo.
Particularly interesting to the
audience was the clever musical
skit, 1.-The Old Woman Who Lived
In a Shoe, written by one of the
students. A huge model of the
old shoe was brought out on the
stage and in it were the glee club
members, who as their cues were
received, ran out onto the stage
garbed as the old woman'S numer-
Gus progeny.
The program endea with the
singing of the college anthem
which was given in most i'm
pressiye manner. The boys, in light
trousers and yellow sweaters, the
school colors, formed wv" as they
sang the stirring anthem.
L. R. Philley of the local Rotary
club was in charge of the local
concert and the students expressed
their appreciation of the hospital
ity accorded them in this city.
The glee club is enroute to Phoe-
nix where the boys will give con-
cert.
