CANNED MUS|C"
PRIVILEGE ASKED
BroadCasters Seek to Elimi.
nate Announcement in
Radio Programs.

" LIMITATION of the so-called
l. canned music" announcement
over the radio-long the goal of
IL electrical transcription producers
may soon become an actuality.
Pending before the Federal Radio
Commission is the resolution adopted
by the Nations broadcasters at their
annual convention at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va, which ended Wednes-
day, asking the commission to wipe the
restrictive regulation from the books.
If the commission approves the rec
ommendation it will mean that the
radio listener no longer will be able to
differentiate between live talent
program produced in the studios or
mechanical recording. also produced IN
studios exclusively for radio purposes
but recorded on disks before being
broadcast.
The commission has consistently held
for the last five years that failure to
announce a recorded program is tanta-
mount to fraud, in that the listener is
led to believe he is listening to live"
talent. 1t has punished stations for
failure to make such announcements.
Several broadcasters insisted in the
convention debate that the public might
object to elimination Of the announce
ment Others pointed out that 1t invites
labor troubles. particularly with the
organized musicians, who have opposed
electrical transcriptions and have
charged the development with being
responsible in a major degree for un-
employment in their ranks.
1t was made clear that the recon-
mended elimination of the announce
ment does not contemplate inclusion
of ordi,,arv nboDCprapb records OnlV
commercial transcriptions, recorded ex-
clusively for broadcasting purposes,
would be exempted.

ISLAND GIRL
BY FRANK f. ADAMS

ing command, ordered Drury and the
old men to stay at the house while he
went down to see what 1t was
1t had not been hallucination
Just as he reached the beach the signal
came again, the sonOrOus hott of high
pressure steam yawning and stretching
itself. It was nearer this time, and rot
far off from shore was a restless stream
Of illumination that could come from
no other source than searchlight.
Its beam was directed in long swings
against the monotonous vegetation Of
the shore.
Vern could not imagine what they
were searching for. but it did not make
any difference. There was chance
that it might be revenue cutter on
the trail of Inn runners, in which case
they would probably be willing to help
him. Or they might be rum runners
themselves looking for a hideaway. In
that case he might be able to induce
them for a consideration to enter his
service.
At any rate it seemed chance
Hastily collecting together little sdry
wood he built himself a small bonfire
on the sand and lit it.
Apparently those on the vessel off,
shore were looking for some such signal
for they Immediately stood in toward
the light and in few minutes coasted
slowly up to the wharf. Vernon, stand
ing near the fire. was surprised to be
hailed, Alloy, Vernon Mabee"
What the deuce!" Vern calculated.
The voice from behind the search light
was that of the man he had left at
the pier in Yonkers.
Come aboard" invited Dodd Speed
genially.

- !,
" on out tSe Sf sns Ssscs' water and sat down
It was such a hopeless situa-
ton.
And he had so nearly achieved vic
tory against unbelievable odds.
There wasn't even fast rowboat in
which they could pursue the escaping
buccaneer and his helpless prisoner
There was no way Of communicating
with the mainland, probably no fast
beat anywhere near even if he could
get word to shore.
The necessity of taking care Of Irene's
father, who had been pretty badly hurt
by blow from the butt of "Dummy's"
rifle, forced them all to 60 back to the
house. There was certainly no point in
staying down on the beach looking in
the direction in which the yacht had
departed.
So the four of them, including Drury,
who turned out to be good kid as soon
as his confidence began to return, car
ried the master of the island back to
his ancient manor house and in the
candle-lit drawing room they admin
istered first aid. For q long time the
old man remained unconscious and Vern
was afraid the fluttering heart would
run down.
But at the end of an hour he opened
his eyes.
IT'S my DEAL" he mumbled. And
that makes it a round of roodles."
They finally convinced him that the
poker game had stopped for the time
being and that he must stay fiat on his
back until his strength returned
They did not tell him that Irene was
gone. nor did he seem surprised that
Drury was once more among them.
A little later he dropped off into a
natural sleep and Vern, assured of his
safety for the time being, could take
resurvey of his own troubles.
The fact that he was wet and that
his last cigarettes were gone did not
really matter. He got himself one of
Warner Ferguson's presumably home
made cigars and found a dry box OF
safety matches.
But Irene was gone seemingly beyond
recall now. While she was still on the
island there had been hope that fate
could be tricked in some way, that cir
Cumstances could be turned to advan-
tage and the SpoilS wreSted from the
hands of her unscrupulous conqueror
But the possession of the yacht and the
girl both gave Dummy the decision
Vern was assajled by horrible fear
What If Irene were dead already? He
felt sure that she would take that
method of escape from her horrible alb
ductor when all else failed Perhaps
even now her white. lovely body was
floating lifeless in the brackish, still
waters of the sound.
He hid his face in his helpless hands
to try to shut out the sight which his
Imagination had painted for him.
And then almost as if in dream he
heard a sound that made him think
that he was in New York harbor.
1t was the long drawn out whistle of
steamship somewhere in the distance
The unaccustomed noise awakened
Warner Ferguson and he wanted to go
down to the shore to investigate But
obviously he was in no condition for

Harry Carr, noted coast news
paper writer, referring to Helen
Hayes, star of "The Son-Daughter," !"
now playing at United Artists thea
tire, says he would go anywhere,
anytime, just to hear Miss Hayes
read a delinquent tax list"
This high tribute to the prom
inent actress, who was awarded
first prize for the best perform
ance on the screen during 1882, is
shared by local motion picture fol-
lowers who saw her new picture
yesterday.
"The Son-Daughter," is a story
of San Francisco Chinatown, link
ing it with the revolutionary ac-
tivities in old China, and provides
highly interesting drama. In ad-
dition to the star the cast includes
Ramon Novarro, Lewis Stone, War
ner GLAND, Ralph Morgan, Louise
Closer Hale and H. B. Warner.
The title is taken from the wish
es of an old Chinese who is with
cut a son, to dc his duty by his
country. His daughter is raised to
take the place of the son he be-
lieves he should have had and
does a sons part in carrying out
the wishes of the father.
All the romance and thrills of
San Franciscos Chinatown, al
ways interesting to the Occidental
are portrayed in the picture, which
is worthy of the excellent cast
which has been chosen for it.

Evan T. Hewes, president of the

announced his candidacy as direc-
tor for the Imperial Irrigation
District to succeed j. L. DuBois,
incumbent, at Saturdays meeting
Of the farm bureau board of di-
rectors which took place in the
court house.
In announcing his intention to
idn against Dubois, HeWes offered
the directors his resignation as
president of the farm bureau if
they felt that his candidacy would
in any way injure the farm bu-
reau. The directors refused to
consider his resignation.
A resolution was passed recon-
mending to the grand jury and the
board of supervisors that those
bodies consider the question of
consolidation of county offices.
The board felt that since the pres
ent state legislature is the only
one which will meet before the
next election of county officers
ana consequently the only body
that can effect changes, the pres
,snt grand Jury and board of su-
rervisors should consider the ques-
ticn of consolidation.
A number of committee appoint
nents in regard to important mat
ters were made. A committe head
ed by c. G. Halliday as chairman
was appointed to study costs of
education for the purpose of max
ing recommendations to Imperial
Valleys representatives in the state
legislature. Members OF this COM
inittee, in addition to Halliday, are
Alex Meyer. Ira Carr, j. E. Brock
and Mrs. Olive Carleton.

pointed to study county expenses
with a view to recommending &C.

how much interest they are going

ally the matter is considerably
more complicated, but in rough

The report of the Presidents
committee on social trends just
issued declares the tax bill of the
federal, state and local govern

the income of the people. Last
October Franklin D. Roosevelt es-
timated that the national income
would be about $45 100000 and
the total cost of government about
SIS 900 ,000,0 or one-third Of the
entire income. This would mean
that the taxpayer would theoretic-
