(Official City, State and County Newspaper) The New Radio Board President Coolidge is to be sincerely congratulated | for taking the newly created radio control board out of politics at the outset of its activities and for appointing on that board men who are at the fore- front in the professien of i There is not al politician on the board. Every member has been | chosen becau of his particular qualifications for | the work at he regulation of radio, w h includes radio-telegraphic communication, radio- | telephonic communication, “broade: io. ing” and ex- perimental work. We may be assured that the new board will tackle the problem energetically and] fairly. | There are four technicians and one lawyer on the board, The chairman W. H. G. Bul- lard, United States Navy, retired, is recognized as one of the greatest experts on radio communica: | tion in the country. He was one of the outstanding | naval figures in the World W: | The other three technicians, Ore: H. Caldwell, | Henry A. Fellows and John F, Dillon, have long been prominently identified with radio and know its needs and its problems intimately. The legal member of | the board, Judge Eugene O. Sykes, will pass on all} legal questions for the benefit of the board, | The idea of a non-political board for the control | of radio was originally that of Secretary of Com- | merce Herbert Hoover, who formerly had the con- 1 of the industry. President Coolidge enthus j tically embraced the id feeling that it was thy only sane method of arriving at a proper solutiol of the problem of radio congestion. Politicians will score this commission and the naming of it by President Coolidge, but the average | radio fan will feel very pleased that the regulations will be drafted by radio men and not by ex-ward heelers. Efficient Police Work A recent survey in Germany shows that it is possi- ble for police to perform truly efficient servica in the apprehension of criminals and provokes the thought that perhaps we in the United States are not doing as effective police work as is generally thought. According to the survey the chances of murderers @eeaping justice in Berlin are only 3 in 100. This Yatio is obtained front the figures of the past eight | months. In the state of Prussia, for instance, 52? murderers, responsible for 610 deaths, were ap- prehended in that period of time. We wonder if any state in the United States can produce such a record? But, even as we wonder we realize that no state in the United States can show such a result, for our police are not operating | at full efficiency, Political pull, graft and methods that are far behind the times all combine to give} the. major criminal more than an even break. | One reason for our inefficient pclice work, how- | ever, is found in the attitude of the general public | in sympathizing with the lawbreaker and in lax} parole systems that give him his liberty much too soon and sometimes on the slightest pretext. Such | an attitude on the part of the general public is very | i ing to even the most con. sof law and order. Kew police officials can keep | their enthusiasm for their work after they find | that they must enforce the law with reservations | and that after getting a lawbreaker the court or! the parole board will allow that work to be nullified | because of money or political influence. | What we need in the country is a new mode of | thought on the question of crime. We are too senti- | mental about the criminal. Let us deal with him! more firmly, give him less sympathy and show the | police we approve of law enforcement. Thus we | shall increase efficiency of our police departments. | The Cruisers Win Out | The decision of Congress that the three cruisers | authorized last year for the American navy be built without delay is in consonance with public | opinion, which has been considerably disgusted witn | the controversy arising over the question—with | England having fifty-four built and building, Japan | having 25 and the United States but 15. ! The Washington disarmament conference provided ; a ratio of 5-5-3 but it is a known fact that Great | Britain is far ahead on this ratio and it is just as} positive a fact that neither Great Britain nor Japan | will agree to another limiting treaty right now when it would mean’the scrapping of so many new! ships. | Consequently it is high time we put our sea forces on an efficient basis when compared with | other first class powers, for when did we becom2} a second or a third class power? It would be «| splendid condition if we could trust other nations not to make hostilities possible in the future, but the world is too disturbed today to justify a relaxa- tion of thorough préparedness. Increasing Heart Trouble © The rate at which. life moves these days, par- ticularly in the cities, is proving a very serious menace to health, as it affects the heart.

Increased speed is the ery now. Ships that) sould do ten knots an hour were once considered | able. Today even a tramp freighter is expected to do better than that and for passenger ships they | are beginning to talk of a cruising speed of 25) knots and rumors are even in circulation regarding | a ship that will do 40 knots, through an entirely;) new method of propulsion.

If we can trave! the ocean if six days now, tomorrow we must be able to do it in five and next year in three. Higher speed, higher efficiency are the and modern life. We must speed up even to stay in the procession. Sometimes it seems as if this matter of speed and fficiency was a positive mani Yet in the realm of transportation it cannot be Menied that the utmost in speed is much to be psired and will result in the saving of many valu- ‘@ple days and hours where they count most.

Editorial Comment The Business Accelerator (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle) According to an eminent British authority on business management, newspaper advertising, par- ticularly in the United States,--bridgs results far superior to the returns obtained by any other public- ity medium. Sir Charles Higham, recognized in Lendon as a highly successful business executive, | declares that a campaign of advertising which he | managed in the United States brought an enormou: | increase in sales for his clients. i Sir Charles is not alone in his discovery of the | power of newspaper advertising in America. He is | merely one of the most recent converts to the idea that business can be created by going after it through the greatest accelerator of commercial activity the world has ever seen, the newspaper ad- vertisement. The old-fashioned method of taking a} vacation when business was dull has been super- seded by the modern advertising drive, by which new markets are built where none had previously existed, thus adding to the permanent commercial | assets of. the civilized world. | To most Americans the power of the printed) werd is no mystery. Where literacy is all but uni- versal, the appeal of type is of far greater potency than any attempt at direct contact, since the news- | hy message as often as it may be read. The worker, the housewife, the business man or teacher or preacher, every family, if not every individual, is reached in some way by the newspaper with its burden not only of the happenings of the world, but of the things that the world has to offer for the satisfaction and comfort of huntanity. The wish to buy any specific article may have been latent in the mind of the reader for a long time; the adver- tisement of that article may apply the needed spur to satisfy that wish. There may not have been | even a thought of such a desire, yet an attractively worded advertisement may create the wish and start in motion a chain of commercial and industrial con- sequences that mean brisker trade, busier factories and a more active demand for raw materials.

Pulsifer, “but if {t's a case of real necessity, I could go.” “That's real good of you, Fittle,” Claude said heartily, and indicated to Ned they'd better go. Ned hur- vied down the lane to untie Jenny. Claude paused to say to Ettle, as he separated himself gently from clinging little hands: “The way I look at It, the mother probably do anything, and it's 2 good deal to fall on the shoulders of a girl. “Won't hurt her none,” sniffed Mrs. Pulsifer, “but of course, all them Clover Hollowers pay good money, and it's‘a real nist place. 1 own, Claude, I kinda like to see what they've done tothe house.

They came while I was in New York.” “That's a good morning's work, son,” he said amiably as he mount- ed the wagon seat beside Ned. Not for worlds would he allude to Doro- thy Seldon and her revelations, for t was, as Dabbs would have phrased It, “up to Ned.” 1 If It was, Ned showed no signs of | being about to introduce the lady | Into the conversation. “I say, C. M., there's something Td like to fix up with you before we get to home and Aunt Lyddy.

After- ward, if you like, we'can arrange something, if you'll only stay.” Ned smiled at him. rely, TH stay, if you keep me busy.” Conversation languished after that, for Dabbs waited for Ned to choose the subject. He glanced again at the young man. beside him and noted the set of his jaw. “Any- thing disagreeable happen to you up at the White house?” he in- quired. Ned shook his head. “Only saw that girl I told you about. Per- fect peach. She took the order from me.” Ned relapsed into si- lence.” “What was their name?” Mr. Dabbs asked, getting out his little memorandum book and preparing to note it. “I asked Ettie, but she didn't know.” “Johnston,” said Ned, dwelling on it. iss Johnston.’ Dabbs stared at him. “Johnston. Oh, well, that’s a pretty common name. round these parts. Any more in the family besides the girl and the mother?” “Don't know,” Ned admitted. “Find out tomorrow when you take Ettie there.” “What difference does tt make?” Dabbs laughed. “You'll make a pretty good grocer’s clerk, Ned, if you can't figure out that for your- self, .So many mouths, so many more loaves of bread ordered.

When he slept he dreamed of a blue-eyed Rapunzel who let down her hair. Claude Dabbs, also wakeful, puz- zled how to keep Ned interested in Peace Valley, finally slept; to dream of a beautiful woman named Johnston pursuing - him, accom- panied by gigantic dogs, all an- swering to the name of Peter. Ned again surprised Claude by rising early and cheerfully setting out for Pulsifer's farm. However, William Penn Pulsifer and his son Penny had decided to work for awhile, nearby. Because of this, Ettle felt that she must supply them with a hot dinner, and s0 could not come to the White house until one o'clock. Ned agreed to come again at one o'clock If Miss Johnston still wanted her, and took his way to the White house. It promised to be an amusing day, he thought, as he knocked at the kitchen door. “Blue Eyes,” with flaming cheeks, opened the door. This had been a terrible morning of starting open fires, lighting a kitchen range, and trying to find things in a strange kitchen in a strange house. Ned proceeded to explain Mrs. Pulgifer's absence. Mary listened, murmured her thanks, and praised Mr. Dabbs for his kindness in sending help. She would be glad to see Mrs. Pulsifer that afternoon. “What will you do now?" Ned asked, anzlously looking at the pile of dishes on the table before her. “Let me help you.” Mary opened her month to an- nihilate this pushing young person, but at that moment the telephone bell rang, and with a little nod of dismissal, she hurried to answer it. Ned looked idly about him. Then the great idea came to him. He grinned, snatched up a gingham kitchen apron from the back of a chair and tied it across his chest. (> He turned the hot water on a pan full of dishes and reached for the dish mop. He knew that camp, motor boat and army experiences would stand him In good stead now. He would show this girl what an excellent job he could do. He commenced to wash dishes in a slow, orderly fashion. At the telephone, Mary was talk- ing to Mr. Dabbs, She had closed the door. No sound from. the kitchen reached her, Yes, she told him, she was Miss Johnston, and his nephew had gone. She was ever so much obliged. If Mra, Pulsifer could come at noon; It would be a great help. Mary left the telephone with shining eyes. How kind these coun- try people were! Imagine a grocer taking all that trouble In the city! She must tell mother. It would amuse her, if the headache was not too bad. With a little run she took the stairs, three steps at a time, and softly opened, the door of the great front bedroom. Tt was @ lovely room, darkened now, beautifully arranged and fur- nished. Nothing in it was as beau- tiful as the woman who was lying upon the bed, staring at the cell- ing. She looked scarcely older than Mary herself. Tumbled masses of red hair spread over the pillow. She turned her face quickly from Mere “Mother, I'm going to bring you some tea and toast in a jiffy, un- less you feel like coming down.” “1 don’t want anything. Don't trouble,” came in a soft murmur from the bed. “Oh, mother, don't take it so hard! ’m getting on famously and the country people here are wonderful. What do you think! The grocer— the one with a funny little short name—Dabbs—that's it, is sending a woman to cook and clean for us this afternoon. By tomorrow we'll e not only a clean house, but probably a new batch of maids and a cook from the city. Then you; can be properly fed.” Her. mother raised herself ‘on one elbow, staring at her datghter with level, unblinking brown eyes. Seen face to face she appeared old- er than Mary, but one would hard- ly have classified them as mother and daughter. Sisters would have been a reasonable guess, “Mary, what did you say the @rocer's name was?” “Dabbs, repeated Mary. “Funny 't this place called Clover Hollow?” _ ie “Yes, mother, but the grocer comes from Peace Valley. There are no shops in Clover Hollow.” Mary's mother sank back on her \” pillows and muttered something that sounded like: “Oh, ny soul! ‘The last straw!” Mary looked puzzled and a little frightened, ‘This wan the first time in her life that she had known her strong capal mother to give way to her nerves, ‘< cather can’t you tell me what's ng?” \ “No, I can’t just now Mary-girl. It’s a little financial bother, and until I understand it better myself, T can't talk about it.

To tidy a big house like this, and make something to eat, was quite an achievement, for girl, and especialy one un: tomed-to doing it. She had looked for praise. 4 “It makes you look—" her moth- er gave an odd, hysterical giggie— “tt makes you look—like a. grocer's bag For heaven's sake, ta oft! : Mi slowly that she bed hana id Tetae, Coes aae eee aiaarontias ed pag to ilke (TO BE CONTINUED.) a) “Sto Mae igo UC aaa atte a lame a cegpitaaennetane
