quency band used by police cars

worst weather and in fair weather,
up to 500 miles.
These distances are phenome-
nal" said Simpson" when it is
considered that the antenna used is
only a 7-foot metal fish pole of or
dinary hardware store variety,
costing about 60 cents.
But the outstanding feature of
the apparatus is a small iron box
containing the matching unit which
permits unusual efficiency in trans
ferring energy from the transmit
ter to the antenna and conversely,
from the antenna to the receiver.
"A coil and condenser combina-
ton is used to adjust the impotence
of the antenna to the transmitter so
that they are brought in perfect

Bruges Plans for Fete
To Rival Passion PLAY

BRUGES, BELGIUM. IA medic
val pageant commemorating a IA
nous religious relic, several drops
Of blood of Christ, will be held in
this old Flemish town.
The pageant, in which 1000 per-
formers will take part, will be
staged in the Cathedral square and
is planned to rival the Passion Play
of Oberammergau. The facade of
the cathedral with its 250-foot belfry
will be used as a backdrop. The
chorus and orchestra, a thousand
strong, will be directed by the
composer, Arthur Meulemans.
Theban trumpets sounded from
the top of the belfry will herald the
opening of the pageant, as the
facade is flooded with light and
angels in cloth of gold appear at
the windows, balconies and en-
brasures. The first scene ends with
Joseph of Arimathea collecting the
sacred blood in a vessel.
The second scene, one of medi-
eval splendor, will show Thierry
d'Alsace bringing the relic to
Bruges on his return from the
Second Crusade in 1150.
A third and final scene will recall
the profound veneration of the peo-
pie of Bruges for the relic, which is
preserved in a gold and silver YES
sci encrusted with precious stones.
This finale will represent, on a mag
nificent scale. the procession in
medieval costumes that every year
commentaries the bringing of the
relic to Bruges.

The Kentucky Rifle

The Kentucky rifle, which played
such vital part in the existence Of
American pioneers, did not origi-
nate in the South, but came from
the early forges of eastern Pennsyl-
vania. The American rifle, devel-
oped because the frontiersmen were
dissatisfied with the cumbersome ri
fles made in Europe, was perfected
in the gunshops of Lancaster and
York counties, according to a Lam
caster (Pa.) United Press corre-
spondent. Daniel Boone used the
newly developed American rifle on
many of his exploits in Kentucky.
Thus it became known as the Ken
lucky rifle. He obtained the rifle,
which bore the name of Lancas-
ter county gunsmith, through his
family home in Berks county.

Good Workers Are Given
Best Dinners by Warden

CAMDEN, N. ATOP the Cam
den county courthouse is an ultra
modern "skyscraper" jail used prin-
cipally for untried prisoners and
others unable to furnish bail.
Warden George Roundey has
saved the county about $4,000
through his system of dual menus.
Although no inmate is required to
work, those who do are given more
palatable meals.
Roundey is an advocate Of an in
stallment plan" for paying fines.
Take the case of a man who is
fined S25 or $50 for something that
perhaps could not be made out as
clear-cut case Of negligence, he
said. why send him to Jail in dis
grace when, under a more moderate
law, he could pay his fine at the
rate Of 81 week, just as he does
when he makes a purchase. 1t
seems shame that one man with
plenty Of money can pay his fine
and go, while the poor man has to
stay in jail until the law considers
him purged of his offense."

GAS MASKS FOR ANIMALS
VIII Be Provided for Dogs, Horses
and Other Animals in Britain

LONDON.-Dogs and horses will
have gas masks, but British cats
must depend on their surplus lives
during air raids in the next war.
The Royal Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals discou-
RACES any attempt to fit cats with
a gas mask, saying the suffering
caused by mask is worse than
that caused by an air raid.
Being left to their fate, however,
will not worry the cats of this hardy
isle as they are made Of stern stuff.
One cat in London recently was
given up for dead after house fire
that suffocated three dogs and the
canary. The cat was left in the
garden for later burial but seven
hours afterward it completely re-
vived.
Those who went through the air
raids during the world war recall
that their cats readily adapted
themselves. When the bombs start
ed dropping, the cats were the first
to dive for the cellar and the last
to come out.

Help to Protect
Your Home from
Tuberculosis

by the Christmas Seals and of their
mission Of protecting every home
from the dread disease.
tuberculosis breaks up more
homes than any other disease. If
a mother or father is stricken, this
means separation from the family
if other members are to be pro
tected from the thread Of the dis
ease"
tuberculosis usually brings a ser
ious economic problem. Each year
tuberculosis claims the lives of 40,-
900 persons between Is and 45, the
most productive years. Many Of
these victims are mothers and
fathers, who leave young orphaned
children to face life alone. Last
year LAP citizens Of Delaware died
from tuberculosis. Christmas Seals
finance a year-round program to
control tuberculosis and by so do
ing, protect all homes from tuber-
culosis.
The sale will start Thanksgiving
Day and continue until Christmas.

No More Room for Foreigners
Cincinnati Enquirer

The political exile these days is in about hard luck the citizen of the Roman Empire who did not like the Caesars. There place for him to go. The whole civilized world Roman and flee where he might the long arm of Rome would reach him.
 We in America owe our beginnings to the sturdy Englishmen who fled from the persecution of the Stuart Kings Here a safe refuge, and here they founded a great nation where man is free to say what he thinks. For generations men from Europe have sought the Western World to enjoy a larger liberty than possible in the Old World But now we no longer desire these refugees. Not that not hospitabe ever, but have not work enough for our own people and strangers would be burden Indeed already feeding thousands of aliens. EXies welcome in England, but they not per mitted to work there and take the bread from the mouths of British workmen In the South American countries there is very much the state of affairs here.
 Furthermore in Brazil and Argentine there are respectively, so many Germans and Italians that the governments are afraid of them. And everywhere there is a cold shoulder turned to revolutionaries to suit their own theories Communists anarchists and the like.
 One principle is established and that is emgra- tion cannot be forced people against it's will At Ellis Island strictly enforce the European quotas and on the Pacific Coast no Japanese or Chinese can enter And had it not been for these wise restrictive measures we certainly would have been in serious diff ficultes. It is hard the foreign people who turn longing eyes shores but the present we have room.

COMPETITION FOR PWA MONEY

In the government spending bill passed by the House yesterday and which is expected to get to the floor of the Senate about the middle of next week, of $965 100000 is ear-marked for public works program In anticipation of the probable passage by Congress of the measure regional offices of PWA including Alaska, early this week gave out notice that they were accepting formal applications for projects proposed in various communities. the government providing 45 percent of the cost
 Undoubtedly there will be flood of new appl- cations to add to the 2714 locally-seeced projects which already have been approved by PWA and which call mainly for educational buildings, topping the list waterworks and sewer systems according to a survey just completed by PWA. The analysis by type of the 2,714 pending projects which have been approved by the PWAs Legal Finance and Engineer ing Divisions it pointed out is fair test of what the nation desires in the way of public works because every application initiated by local community itself and in every instance the local public body spon sorng the project stated that ready to bear 55 percent of the cost of the project
 The estimated cost of the approved projects con- struction of which is dependent the bill before Congress is estimated by PWA at S1007440512 Of this amount the applicants will provide $569O5O,294, including PWA loans amounting to S132 800 The grant requested amounting to 3S39O218 would repre- 45 percent of the total estimated under the existing law
 Another interesting point brought out in the sur vey is that American communities the greatest need of the moment buildings. In this group of 1876 buildings projects 880 educational buildings including 738 secondary school projects l05 for col leges and universities 13 other educational structures and "A public libraries. Included in the list also are 193 projects for city halls and courthouSes and 84 for hospitals and institutions.
 The number of water sewer, garbage disposal and power projects already examined and approved is 704 at total estimated cost of $276715227 including PA sewer systems projects 19 sewage disposal plants, 82 sanitary sewers and four combined sewers There also are PAP projects calling for complete waterworks Eighty of the projects classified electric power, excluding water power 75 for power construc- tion and six for electric distribution systems
 Some Alaska projects included the approved list, including Juneaus public library proposal but 1t is obvious from the foregoing PWA figures that if the communities of the Territory going to share in the new money Whch now certain to be set aside for public works the applications should be sub mltted early. If the amount stays in the bill now passed by the House at S965 100000 and there are already approved projects estimated to cost than billion dollars, of which the government will advance approximately half the competition for Fed eral money is likely to be fairly keen.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY. MAY IS. 1888


 Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- tion. It is a time for recreation out of doors and for serious reflection.
 Recognition that changing world commands men and women to re- adjust their lives is urged by the seers who warn that Americans must not relax too comfortably be- cause of present aloofness from war.
 The Philippines come under a planetary government which pre- sages grave governmental problems. Evil portents affecting the inter national relations of the islands are discerned
 Owing to aspects in the horoscope of King George VI there may be serious industrial issues in Great Britain
 All the signs appear to give assur- ance that the United States is to gain greatly as a world power and to be strong ally of Great Britain through amazing events.
 Australia, New Zealand and Cana da are to sustain determined oppo- sition to entry into war, but the stars appear to presage sudden de- velopments in Europe which will bring out the united strength of the British Empire.
 Revival of religious royalties will be evident as the year progresses. Dependence upon spiritual forces is to be widely accepted, it is prophc- sled.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair ad- vancement. Self-reliance should be cultivated although friends will be helpful.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be of determined character and first rate intellectual capacity. Subjects of this sign may be studi- ous and exceedingly industrious.
 Edward Martin Shepard, distin- guished geologist, was born on this day 1854 Others who have celebrat- ed it as a birthday include Reuben Goldthwaites, antiquary, 1853; Jo- seph Medill Mccormick, Senator, 1876.
