Bunkum on the Radio Weary radio listeners will be inter- ested to know that two bills have been introduced in congress to cut down on the high-pressure advertis- ing talks which clutter up most broadcasts. One bill would merely eliminate commercial talks from Sunday pro- grams. The other, much more dras- tic, would prohibit any announcer from indulging in any sort of adver- entitled to the use for republication | tising talk except the bare statement of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper and also the local news of spontaneous origin published here- in, All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Pilots for Fighting Ships In these days when most Ameri- cans are taking some interest in the hation’s resources for defense, it is some satisfaction to view the man- ner in which civil aviation has de- veloped in this country and thereby furnished us with @ reserve of pilots for fighting airships unmatched any- where else in the world. Lt. Col. Carl Byoir recently pointed this fact out in an article written for the Army and Navy Journal, spokesman for the nation’s military services. In this article Col. Byoir asserted that these pilots, together with the airplane manufacturing es- tablishments of the country, consti- tute one of the nation’s greatest de- fensive resources. According to Col. Byoir, America divides the money she spends on avi- ation in three almost equal parts. For next year the army budget calls for $25,483,000. The navy should receive $26,660,000 and the air mail $26,000,- 000. To compare the national defense value of those three type dollars is to prove all three vital, the colonel contends. Nor do factors peculiar to the three types of expenditure sup- Port the choosing of the army as! against the navy, or the navy as/ against the air mail, or any one of the three as more essential to ade- quate national protection than the others, 4 | ‘This nation has some 2,208 regular) army and navy pilots. We hav 2,460 | reserve pilots of the army, navy, and marines. The total of civil pilot li- censes outstanding today is about; 17,000. Of these nearly 10,000 are! transport or limited commercial rat- ings, meaning that their holders have had far more solo flying time than) the average World war pilot who flew) throughout the war period had when | the war ended. | Many army and navy pilots hold} civil transport tickets. But if we/ omit that whole group, we still have) nearly four experienced civil pilots) for every regular. And if we further} ‘omit the 2,460 reserve pilots of the sevices many of whom also hold civil Pilot ratings, we still have 5,000 com- mercial pilots available as a national Protection reserve. But no fair estimate of the value of our air mail routes to the army and navy can omit the reserve offi- cers who fly the mails, because those} men are getting, in many cases, ex- perience far more extensive than reg- | ular service pilots can hope to gain with the limited appropriations. Con- sider that the average army pilot can only get 165 hours a year solo time. On the air lines the first-string pi- lots often pile up that many hours; in eight weeks. And the air line pilots, far from be- ing in obsolgte and slow planes, are often flying faster craft with more Power and performance than many of the service pilots. Any man fa- miliar with the abrupt conversion to/ commercial type high speed trans- ports forced on the services a few years ago by the stream-lined, spats- equipped, transports, knows that commercial aircraft have led the way to service types in America ever since 1997. Even today the new 1933 type that “this program is sponsored by the Zilch company.” The goal at which this measure aims is all to the good. The ordinary radio fan undoubtedly would heave a terrific sigh of relief if the bunkum and blah could be cut out of supposed “entertainment” broadcasts. The only question ‘seems to be whether, as a matter of policy, congress should act in the matter or let the slow crystal- lization of public opinion force the broadcasters to act for themselves. Japan’s War Machine One important point to remember in studying the movements of the Japanese army is that the Japanese war department operates under a set-up totally unlike that of any other modern nation. In every other great power, the premier and parliament have com- plete, continuous control over the ac- tions of their fighting men. Through hysteria or incompetence they may occasionally lose control, of course— as actually happened in at least two European countries when the World war was about to begin; but legally they are in complete charge. In Japan it is different. The army is answerable only to the emperor. It is a separate department of gov- ernment. In an emergency the cabi- net has very little real control. This may help to explain why its actions fail to jibe with the promises issued at Tokyo.

A_ Ridiculous Issue (Dickey County Leader and Ellendale Commercial) We confess that all the words fly- ing back and forth relative to the fu- ture location of North Dakota’s capi- tal leave us cold. We are inclined to cock an eye askance at the assertions of the Jamestown workers that lo- cating the capitol there will effect any great saving to the taxpayers. Wherever the new building is erected, the cost will be virtually the same. There will be the same number of state officials in either case, and there is no reason to believe that the clerks and deputies will accept lower Salaries there than in Bismarck. The Jamestown folks may have some fig- ures purporting to show economies possible if the capitol is there, but equally convincing figures could be, and doubtless are, available favoring Bismarck. In fact, a bright man with a good adding machine doubt- less could prove that the capitol should be at Fargo, or any other city in the state. But Bismarck has always been North Dakota's capital city. It has been built up around the statehouse, and many innocent people would suf- fer an irreparable loss if it should be moved away. Jamestown, on the other hand, already has its public institutions, around which it has con- structed one of the best cities in the state. It will in no way suffer if the capitol remains at Bismarck. It doubtless would benefit if it could get the capital, but only at a great joss to Bismarck, and that is dubious wisdom in these days when the great share of North Dakota’s citizens are content merely to exist, let alone make any great profit. Ellendale should be ablé to visual- ize the situation. This is the county seat of Dickey county; always has been—and the town is built up around the courthouse to no small extent. What would be the effect, particularly at this time, if the court house were to be moved to some other town? Ellendale would suffer @ setback from which it conceivably might never recover. There would be some vacant business places, and many vacant homes, from which our People. would be driven to make a living elsewhere. In times like these, such a change would be nothing short of a catastrophe. Every city in this or any other state is built up around some nucleus, the removal of which would be a serious loss. Jamestown, that part of it which is carrying this fight to the bitter end, is ambitious. But ambition is some- times destructive. Jamestown must see that if it were to succeed, that success would be built upon Bis- or poor and both are being displayed, if not flaunted, by James- town in this campaign. FINGER SIGNATURE Denver, Col.—A AW; NQBLE FATHER — “STAY Aad IAAND: Z wih Gilbert Swan Blame Dan Cupid? New York, Feb. 24—When it Leal came practically certain that Clar-/ ence Mackay, telegraph system mag- nate, had provided a substantial sum for the forthcoming music show of his son-in-law, Irving Berlin, Broad- } way winked in the direction of Cupid. Funny, commented the wisies, that; this gesture in the direction of Berlin should come after the marriage of Mackay to Anna Case, the Metropoli- tan prima donna. Had this late bud- ding of romance in the life of the white-haired muiti-millionaire caused him to forgive and forget? At the moment, it seems the most logical explanation. ** * Mackay’s Bride Mackay is to be observed more fre- quently at gay social occasions.

He must have looked up my card at the store.” The bedroom door opened and Molly entered. She was visibly ex- cited. Her black, curly hair stood out in little drake-tails, Her blue eyes blazed. For once she bad not even taken time to powder her pretty face. “Hurry, child,” she said to Ellen. “You mustn't keep Mr. Barclay waiting. It's bad enough having no phone.” Again Ellen felt a rising irrita- tion, “What makes you so sure it’s Mr. Barclay?” she snapped: “I’ve got a hunch,” Molly ad- mitted, dimpling and smiling mys- riously. “Don’t be so slow, honey.” ;T can’t run through the halls ge feb lana ili U. 8.

Chancellor von Hertling, in an ad- dress before the Reichstag, said that Germany was willing to end the war on the principal basis of President Wilson’s 14 points. Certain excep- tions were made, however, and Allied diplomats paid no attention to the move. A national labor conference board was formed at Washington to lay down a basis of relations with capital for the duration of the war. (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.)

Ellen re- placed the receiver, presented her thanks and prepared to leave. Mrs. Clancy saw a golden opportunity fading. She said quickly and ingratiating. ly, “Was that the rich fellow your mother was telling me all about?” “I don’t know who you mean,” Ellen replied coldly, “Sure you do,” said Mrs. Clancy, chuckling. “I mean Mr. Steven Bar- clay, your boss. Your maw sald he was fairly daft over you.” Ellen had to smile. “Yes, it was Mr, Barclay,” she ad- mitted to the other’s evident pleas- ure, She even added, “Mr, Barclay wanted me to go driving with him this afternoon.” “I heard you saying that you couldn't go,” Mrs. Clancy confessed. “Yea, it is, isn’t it,” Ellen agreed and made her escape. 'LLEN returned to the bedroom. nibbling at a bit of toast. Both fell abruptly silent at Ellen’s entrance and she realized that they had been discussing her. Let them, thought Ellen grimly, “Won't you tell us about your call?” asked Molly, after a delicate interval of silence. “Or is it a se cret?® “There's nothing much to tell,” said Ellen airily. “It was Steven Barclay. He wanted me for a drive this afternoon.” “Ah!” said Molly. There was another interval of silence. Myra looked sharply at her sister but Ellen’s gaze was bland and innocent. Presently she said to her mother, “I'd like to invite a friend to supper.” “Who is it? asked Molly. thought she knew the answer. tected the impression, “But Ellen!” she cried in dismay. “What about Mr. Barclay?” “What about him?” repeated El- len. “You said he'd asked you for a drive.” Dajly Health News How to Care for Baby’s Teeth it J and Cod Liver Oil in Correct Amounts ibe icamary for Proper Early Development | E 5 i gq I : E t ; it ate | He igs g 3 i i Hy g é . # eggs EH ie RH : 5 ; ide i i Hee a fs g RE é i g i i I REE & R, E gk z § g ie i ll | 2 i i z its § i e if BE 25 H | E | i EB g 8 i i 8 g f she was not content to let the mat- ter rest, “Personally I think it rather odd of the Harrowgate boy to you for an engagement under the cir cumstances,” said Molly. “In my day it would have been considered dishonorable.” “You don’t know whether it’s dis- honorable or not,” Ellen said an- erily, ignoring her own secret! doubts. “Larry has no way of knowing that I might consider the fact that he is engaged important.
