THE preponderance of light pro-
grams" it states, "s conditioning an
entire Nation, and particularly the
portion thereof which has never been
exposed to culture, to an appreciation
Of inferior entertainment.
1T would be just as easy to de-
velop liking for better things by CIV
ing the people a greater number Of
worthwhile programs. This does not
mean that there would be no more
vaudeville. 1t would, however, insure
for those who enjoy comedy, dance
music and the other lighter features
the best of each type.
The worlds finest literature and
drama would be available in the same
proportion as lighter features. For the
first time in the history Of radio the
more discriminating portion Of the
national audience would get a fifty
fifty break. At present only about 10
per cent of all programs is planned
for this audience"
IF GERMANY succeeds In holding
the 1886 Olympic games in Berlin
in the face Of the agitation against
American participation due to the
Nazi regimes racial and religious
prosecutions, the American broadcast
ing systems probably will follow the
example of the Japanese in sending
over their ace sports commentators
with the United States team.
The japanese radio system sent a
group of announcers along with Nip
pon's athletes to the Olympic games
in Los Angeles in 1882, and they
broadcast back TO their home audi
/ ences regularly. In the event Amer
lean athletes withdraw from the
games, of course. it is altogether I'M
/ likely that the networks here will be
interested In the events, since this
country's athletes have consistently
been the winners of the big features
of the Olympics-the track and field
meets and the swimming competi-
! tons.
THE perfection Of short wave relays
have made it relatively simple for
/ the United States audience to hear
broadcaStS from abroad. The Amer
lean announcers may even be able to
time their commentaries during the
actual running Of the Olympic events,
| although the seven-hour time differ
entail between the United States and
Germany, not to forget the varying
time zones in this country, might
make regular schedules difficult. For
! example, when it Is o'clock in the
afternoon In Berlin, 1t is 8 am. here
and the morning at-home audience is
| hardly likely to be very deeply inter-
ested in sports commentaries.

HIT NONRESIDENT
FOR PRISON POST.
Midcity Citizens Request
Present EmpIoye Be Ele-
v vated to Position.

Vigorously protesting the recent re-
port that the Board of Public We'll
fare had recommended appointment
Of q nonresident as superintendent
of the Districts penal institutions.
the Midcity Citizens Association last
night requested that some person now
within the penal department be ele-
vated to that post upon the retire.
ment of Capt. M. M. Barnard, the
present superintendent.
The association declared, in a reso-
luton, the recommendation was not
made in the best interests Of the in
stitutions concerned in not recogniz-
ing faithful and efficient service of
those now connected with the depart
ment." Pointing out 1t has, on nu-
merous occasions, recommended the
appointment of only bona fide District
residents to municipal positions, the
association declared there are those
within the penal department who
are well qualified to fill the position.
Hit Police Transporting.
The practice of transporting police
men from other cities to Washington
for special duty during parades here
was scored in another resolution
which asks that in the future local
residents be commissioned as tempo
rary policemen at such times addi-
tional protection is found necessary.
The resolution asserted most of the
funds appropriated for this purpose
are spent in transportation costs and
that the duty usually performed by
these outside policemen could be car
ried out by "any orderly citizen"
Copies of the resolution are to be
sent to the Commissioners, Maj. Err
nest w. Brown. superintendent OF po-
lice. and the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
A third resolution adopted by the
civic group would require every
teacher in the Districts public, private
and. parochial schools to take the
oath Of allegiance before they would
be allowed to teach.
Indorse District Bills.
Before quitting the business ses-
sion of the evening in favor OF
varied program of entertainment the
association took favorable action on
two bills relating to the District now
pending in Congress. They are: A
bill providing for compulsory and reg
ular mechanical inspection of all
automobiles in the District and bill
to permit employees Of the District
and Federal governments to serve as
jurors.
One Of the features of the enter
tatnment program was a group of
songs presented by quartet from
the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co.'S Glee Club. The program also
included a playlet, Mother and Son"
presented by Helen and Bill zeller,
accompanied by Laura Mary Eagleson;
selections by C. A Small. a "one-man
band; dances by Miss Shirley ".
Major, accompanied by Miss Jean
Nails. and ''Tony the Barber" skits by

freshments concluded the program. s

duty at the depot one evening re-
Gently.
Mr.. Hemmingsen was standing
near the loading platform when a

S. H. Josten, night policeman,
who made his regular call at the

Find Runaway
st. James Girls

The adventurous spirit of three
Mountain Lake girls was short
lived when the trio were picked up
at st. James the day after they
left home.
The girls, all under Is years of
age, boarded a train at Mountain
Lake Friday afternoon, attired in
boys clothing, and rode to st.
James where they spent the night
in a large culvert under the rail-
road tracks short distance west
of town.
Chief of Police Strommen re-
ceived a call from Mountain Lake
the following morning asking him
to be on the lookout for the girls.
He searched the city and soon saw
what appeared to be three strange
bows in the city park. Upon con-
versing with them he discovered
their identity and a few hours
later they were returned to their
homes.

Kellogg Tits
6-HOu Wage
IL Per. Cent

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. Z
U.N.S0.-W. K. Kellogg sprung q
surprise on employees Of his plant
today, announcing an average
wage increase of 1914 per cent for
all male workers on a six-hour day
working basis.
At the same time, the manu-.
facturer, who established the six
hour day five years ago, urged the
nations employers to try the
shorter working day as q means
of operating their plants more sue
cessfully and solving the unem'
ployment problem.
I'VE shall never solve the un-
employment problem by made
work, by the dole or appeals to
patriotism" he observed. "The
Six-hour day with wages raised to
compensate for the shorter work
ing period is the only solution"
$27 Minimum Pay
Under the new wage scale,
retroactive to October %, the
minimum pay for janitorS and
unSkilled workers is $27 for a
six-hour day, and salaries In the
higher bracket are raised pro
portionately, Kellogg announced.
Wages of women employees
were increased two years ago sc
that their earnings for six hours
work equal those previously paid
for eight hours, he said.
Kellogg, a pioneer In establish
ment Of the Six-hour day, said
he is convinced by the experience
of his own company and by
the failure of other methods, ii
that the shorter working day
without cuts in pay is "the only
permanent solution Of the un'
employment problem.
This isn't just theory with
u.s." he declared. I'VE have
proved it by five years actual
experience.
I'VE have found that with the
shorter working day, the eff
cheney and morale of our EN-
ployes is so increased, the acci
dent and sickness rate are SC
improved, and the unit cost OF
production is so lowered that we
can afford to pay rs much foI
six hours work as we formerly
paid for eight.
I'VE shall never solve the prob
lem by made work, by the dole,
appeals to patriotism and other
methods that have been tried and
found wanting. Nor would it do
any good to divide up the avail
able jobs without maintaining the
total purchasing power.
"I am convinced that II the
six-hour plan were tried in plants,
which find it practicable, that
there would soon be q big gap in
the ranks of the unemployed. 1t
should increase employment by
at least 20 iJer cent in the plants
that adopt it."
