ly what tho French and British want, rather than to bring new suggestions from the United States
 Despite the optimistic commun. iques, the French and British stil differed on the method of controll. ing armamcnts, although the talks here may result in an agreement before tho Geneva meeting. The French want permanent and continuous control by inter. national commissions empowered to delve into hidden arma mcnts and disguised troops, such as the Nazi storm troops. The British ap. peared to prefer spasmodic con- trol, organized loosely on 0 politi. cal rather than a military basis.
 Washington, Sept. IS -UP)- The British government, 1t was understoo today, has intimated tc the United States through Ambas- sador Norman Fl. Davis that the new American naval building pro- gram is likely to have q dampen- Ing effect on the world disarma- ment conference when 1t recon venes in October.
 Davis Is now in Europe, talking informally with British and French officials about prospects for the conference. He has just concluded n series of conversations with Sir John Simon, British foreign min. ister.
 The New American program calli for 37 warships costing s23S, ,000,. 900. Even after construction o, these vessels, the American nav, will be considerably below the ton mage allotted to 1t under the Lon don naval treaty, restricting tn, American. British and Japanes' ravies.
 State department officials were extremely reluctant to comment or reports from London that the Brit. ish had suggested delay in tht American program. Department officials denied that the British hat requested the United States off. cially to suspend It's whole program but they would not deny that somt dimunition or retardation of tht building schedule had been infor mally suggested.
 Tn British quarters, 1t was ex plained that London understood perfectly well the American poin of view-namely, that the program was legal under the treaty, justih able and necessary as n publi' works measure. Nevertheless, was said, the British feel that tn, program will make tho work 0 the disarmament conference nor, difficult.

Why Siberian Point Is
 Coldest Place in World

yerkhoyansk. Siberia. holds the worlds blue ribbon for frigid winter weather, compared with any other place where temperatures are regu- larly measured.
 Vladimir Zenzinov. in "The Road to Oblivion," quoted by Charles Fitzhugh Talman in his Science Service feature. Why the Weather? says of some ef- fleets of the severe cold:
 You take glass of water and dash 1t high into the air, the liquid will come down in the form of ringing crystals of ice Spittle will freeze be- fore reaching the ground. All live things seek deep shelter during the winter. Cartridges dig themselves far into the snow and stay there. There have been cases of their falling like stones while in flight, freezing to death in the air. Marmots hide in under ground holes where they hibernate, as- suming the shape of little claylike ball. The ice becomes so hard the ax rebounds from it. Live wood becomes petrified, and when one chops 1t, sparks fly as if from flint."-Llterary Digest.

lows: A hobo is a travelling worker, a tramp is a travel ing non-worker; a bum is a stationary non-worker. While the three intermingle in the large cities during the winter, and the classes are not strict ly defined, when the opportun- ity comes the hobo is willing to work, while the others are not.
 Hoboes travel from place to place seeking seasonable em- ployment, such as harvesting, railroad and other construct ion work, as common laborers, so they fill a real place in the country's economic system. While they are not always ex- emplary in morals and conduct, they are honest and industri- ous, as rule.
 And they have a sense of pride as we'll. The hobo wants to be known as a hobo, and he is insulted when called a tramp or a bum.

WHY======== People Store Things in London
 Repository Old Mystery

A London repository which has it's storehouse beside the Thames has the worlds strangest collection of goods
 In one room, relates writer in the Montreal Herald, there is an electric brougham which has been in the re- pository for over 30 years. It has a special kind of steering wheel, and was left there by an old lady while these carriages were still in fashion It is only one of the mysteries which are to be found in every room.
 Some people use it for storing their cars. There are machines of every type. shape and make. some of which have been there for over ten years
 Others. who have no wine cellars store their wine there. When they need some they go with case and take away two or three bottles.
 A special room is reserved for stor- ing musical instruments. It Is kept day and night at temperature of 60 degrees.
 The repository will move goods left in its charge to any part of the globe The furniture of President Hoover. who lived for many years in London, was moved across the Atlantic In this way.
 And upon one occasion, an 5000 ton steamer was chartered to carry the furniture of an entire hotel to Der muda.

Why Pools" Appear in Highways

It often appears there are pools of water on the highway ahead which disappear as your car approaches. Of course it is mirage, but then what causes a mirage? Mir Webster de fines it as an optical effect due to the total reflection of light at the surface common to two strata of air heated differently. On the desert, country roads or paved highways one may often see what appears to be water. In the middle of the ocean objects may be seen which are not there at all, but are reflections of objects far away.

Why Called "Hish Seas"

One of the definitions of the word "high" Is this: "Of relatively great importance; chief; main. principal"
 The high seas are the main sens. just as highroad Is a main thorough fare. The term is applied to waters which do not lie within the body of country, and are beyond the territo rial jurisdiction of any government. The United States Supreme court though with division of opinion, has held that the uninclosed part of the Great Lakes is included in the term high seas,' as having the general characteristics of seas and being open to the largest vessels and international trade.

THE USEFUL HOBO

Why Trousers Are Creased

A tailor declares it was gradual broadening of the idea among men that trousers so treated hang better most men disliked the idea of having those razor-edged creases In trousers, but fashion, it seems. decreed that the man desiring to be anywhere near the style simply had to have the crease. It was sort of evolution In the mas cullne idea of trousers as they should be.-Kansas City Star.

Why India Does Not Make Sale

The government of England does not prohibit the people of India from mak- ing salt, but for great many years the small tax on the manufacture of salt has been a source of government revenue to defray the expenses of the government. This Is similar to the tax placed upon liquors. tobacco. etc.. by the United States government.

THE AMERICAS CUP

At Gosport, England, was re- gently launched a new racing yacht, the Velsheda, which is expected to compete for the famous Americas cup, won first on August 22, 1851, when the America defeated the English Aurora, and kept on this side of the Atlantic ever since.
 This original contest for the coveted trophy was a single race, as was the second in 1870 when the American Magic defeated the English Cambria. Since then the con- tests have been decided by the best two out of three races or the best three out of five.
 To date 13 British challen- gers have tried unsuccessfully to wrest the cup from Ameri. can yachtsmen, of which the last five were owned by the late Sir Thomas Upton, who made his last attempt in 1880, when his Shamrock V was de- feated by the American yacht Enterprise. He had promised to try a sixth time, but death intervened.
 Sir Thomas was greatly ad- mired by the American people and shortly after his last de- feat he was invited to return to New York to receive a. "con- solation cup" as a token of appreciation of his fine sports manship. He was affection ately known as the worlds best loser"

Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDIT0R.

I could not compose tnef olHef"
ences with the actors and the
technical operators, both seeking
wage scales to which the, radio
people would not agree. It was
expected, however, that their
differences would be adjusted
before the convention.
Most important of the codes
provisions, aside from wage scales
and hours of labor, are those
dealing with trade practices and
designed to eliminate rate-cutting
and other questionable practices
which the major interests in the
industry want eliminated. While
the code will occupy most of the
sessions, the broadcasters also
expected to take up the copy
right problem, the North Ameri-
can wave-length problem, regula-
tory and technical provisions 0f
the radio law and television.
Among the scheduled speakers
are Newton D. Baker, special
copyright counsel of the asSocia-
ton; James w. Baldwin, who rep
sented the industry at the recent
Mexico City wave length confer
ence; Judge E. O. Sykes, chair
man Of the Federal Radio Com
mission; John v. L. Hogan, con-
sulting engineer and television
eXperimenter, and DR.. C. B.
Jolliffe, chief engineer OF the
radio commission.
EIRST Of the applicants for the
L 50,000-Watt maximum power
since the Federal Radio Commis-
sion several weeks ago lifted the
limit on the number of such sta
tions were formally heard by the
full commission last week. They
are the 25,0O0-watt WBZ- -WBZA,
Boston-S pringfield; WHAM,
Rochester, N. Y, and WGN, Chi
cago. All are clear-channel sta
tions which hitherto have been
limited in power because Of the
commission rule that there shall
be only four 50,000-watters in
each OF the five zones. The
amended rules allow eight per
zone.
Station WMAQ, Chicago, was to
be heard, but its application for
an increase from 5000 to $4,000
Is being held in allegiance pending
the outcome of the Chicago area
fight, in which various Wisconsin
stations are seeking one of Chi
cago'S high-power clear channels.
Station WJR, Detroit, also origi-
nally scheduled to be heard this
week, is understood to have
dropped its application and to be
content to continue with 10000
watts.
Other applicants for $4,000
watts, to be heard later, are
WHAS Louisville, and KNX,
Hollywood. Under the amended
rule the way is opened for practi-
cally all Of the stations on the 40
clear channels to secure maxi
mum power II the commission s
engineering division holds that
they will not cause interference
to stations on adjacent channels.
