The newcomer is to be known as WLWL and will be operated with 1 00 watts by the Missionary Society St. Paul the Apostle. The wave ngth to be used is of necessity a lass wave length, 288.3 me as that now used by KFKX at Hastings, Nebraska. The station will operate on its wave length at any time that its transmission does not interfere with that of the Hastings plant. During the late summer and fall months, lite of this interference can be ex- pected, but when cool weather ar- rives, some definite arrangement may be necessitated between the sta- tions as to a division of time. congestion in the vicinity of the two big American radio centers. In addition to the two “B” licen- ses granted this week, eight new class “A” stations were added to the rolls of the country’s broadcasters, the largest number in any one week since early in the summer. The eight stations, their call let- ters and owners follow: KMA, the May Seed and Nursery Company, at Shenandoah, Iowa, 500 watts, 252 meters; WIBZ, the Pow- ell Electric company, New Montgom- ery, Ala. 10 watts, 231 meters; WRHM, the Rosedale Hospital, Inc. Minneapolis, 50 watts, 215.7 meters; WOCG, the Triple Alliance Radio station, Sycamore, Ills., 10> watts, 205.4 meters; KTAB, the Teth Ave- nue Baptist church, Oakland, Calif., 500; watts, 215.7 meters; KUPR, the Union Pacific Railroad. company, Omaha, 50 watts, 270 meters; WKAF Broadcasting Company, Milwaukee, 250 watts, 261 meters; KFWC, L. Ewall, Upland, Calif., 50 watts, 211.1 meters. ‘ The installation of a second station in the little town of Shenandoah, Iowa, which, like the first station there, KFNF, is to he controlled by a seed and nursery company, is an interesting sidelight on the success’ of radio in the middle west. KFNF found itself a year ago reaching both of the United States coasts on a comparatively low wave length and it became one of the best known voices of that section of the country. THOUSANDS OF DAUG ADDICTS IN SAD PLIGHT Chicago’ Investigation Reveals Startling Information. CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—1By The As- sociated Press}—Investigation in the narcotic expose here has developed that there are 18,000 drug addicts here making no gecret of their plight. Several thousand more, Ll. J. Ulmer, acting chief agent, estimates, also use drugs but do not deal with nar- cotio peddlers, The average addict uses 25 grains @ day, says Ulmer. Some use 50 and one physician made affidavit that for years he had taken 75 grains daily. One grain would be fatal to the majority of non-users While officials collect data on the extent of narcotic use here they con- Unue search for loot which they charge Colonel Will Gray Beach, naréotic chief agent here, with re- ceiving, in exchange for drugs. In ten packing cases belonging to Beach, agents yesterday found a mis- cellany of merchandise ranging fram_a baby's skull to a sack full of cheap jack knives. Included were a hundred Chinese bowls, lamp shades, cigarette cases, opium pipes and hundreds of keys.

SMALL, (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—Gov- ernor Gifford Pinchot has begun his “drive” for thé United States sen- ate, but this is not the most~{nter- esting bit of political “news” which is to be heard here in Pennsylvania. The wiseacres of Philadelphia insist that Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler, of the United States marines, is grooming himself or is being groomed for governor of the state. As director of public safety, General Butler has been trying to “clean up” Philadelphia these last 18 months and has leave of absence froin the “devil dogs" until the end of. the year. Then he will have to decide wether to embark upon the troubled sea of Pennsylvania Republican pol- itics or to return to the peaceful pursuits of a fighter. General Butler has had‘a terrific battle on his hands here’ in the city that once was called “corrupt and content.” He has had to “break” hundreds of city policemen in order to clean out the bootleggers and the other’ “‘gangs’’ which the general claims had the city of Brotherly Love by the throat. The general's fight has been a ‘spectacular one. He 1s sometimes known in the service as “the fighting Quaker,” but his re- ligious upbringing has not prevented the general from using a bit of ’sol- dierly profanity whenever the occa- sion required and these occasions. it may be added, have not been like angels’ visits. General Butler soon after his ar- rival here aroused the anger of the political “organization” and they threatened to oust him at once. Tha general struck an ajax attitude and told them to go ahead, Butler knew he had caught the fancy and confi- dence of the people and he rightly guessed that the ‘political bosses would. not dare depose him in face of a growing public sentime Preachers, prominent citizens, organizations, all rushed to the, as- sistance of General, Butler and he has had full sway at the city hall, much to the chagrin of the “regu- lars” who were content:to: let Pbil- adelphia go on exactly as she wos. The Republican “organizaiien’” still: is opposed to Butler and all his ways and would fight him tooth and nail in the gubernatorial primaries, But this same organization fought Pinchot three.years ago and lost the battle, Once the people find. an’ o ganization can be heaten there is ‘a pretty general-desire to kick | it~ in the slats; The organization still is | opposed to Mr. Pinchot’s ambition }to go to the United States as the sor t tor George Wharton Pepper, but thi opposition does not bother the go ernor in the least. He believes he is going to win, Pinchot ‘and Butler hayo working hand tn glove in the job of cleaning up Philadelphia, The direc- tor of public safety has had the com plete co-operation of the state admin- istration. Therefore the plan now is to have a’ Pinchot-Butler political combination at the polls next year, Pinchot going to Washington and Butler being promoted from Philade!- phia to Harrisburg. It is an extreme ly interesting proposition cnd while it may be a surprise to the rést of the country, Pennsylvanias have been watching steadily for develop- ments along this line, Of course sich # combination as is proposed would not haye been posaible in the days of Boise Penrose, but the Pennsylvania Re- publican machine has no strong hand at the wheel nowadays and neither Pinchot nor Butler is afraid to buck it. Certainly in Pennsylvania, {t would be @ case of “the old order, passeth” if Pinchot and Butler next year can win the two most coveted offices. in the gift of the people.
