At Santiago, Chile. a labor uni- versity has been founded at a cost of $103.500. The aims of the insti- | tution will be to educate working men and women in trades most suit- able for their abilities. The sections for men and women will be separate. The municipal authorities, headed by the mayor. are responsible for the new venture in education.

SCOUTS APPRECIATIVE OF WCAP EXPLOIT Leader Expresses Thanks to Com- | pany for Memorial Day Broadcasting. The appreciation of the Boy Scouts of America for the broadcasting of the Memorial day services in Arling- ton cemetery is voiced in a letter di- rected to C. T. Clagett, division man- ager of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, by L. A. Snead, president of the executive board of the scout organization. The letter follows “On behalf of the District of Colum- bia Council of the Boy Scouts of America, 1 am writing to express the gratitude of the scouts and my per- sonal appreciation for the broadcast- ing of the Memorial day services at Arlington. “The Boy Scouts are deeply inter- ested in radio and recognize that the hold a | | commission in the Regular Army, you American Telephone and Telegraph | Company is doing more than prob- | ably any other agency in the devel- opment ‘of this wonderful agency of amusement and information.

It is my feeling that in the broadcasting of the memorial services the agency of the radio reached perhaps the high- est point vet attaiked, and I could not help but feel, as I listened to the President's address and those who followed him, that all of those who had the privilege of listening in were bénefited as a result of that experi- ence and to indulge in the hope that in the future this wonderful agency might be available to the majority of the citizens of the republic. “On behalf of the Boy Scouts, therefore, I want to éxpress the ap- preciation and gratitude of the scouts for the service rendered by WCAP and WEAF in the rendition of this splendid program. It is difficult, if not impossible, to appraise the good being done by your company in this direction.” — Whose Anniversary This Month? Send a floral remembrance from Gude’s, 1212 F.—Advertisement.

NEW YORK, June 14—Milton Nobles, cighty years old, playwright and character actor, who' for the last two vears had been piaying the lat Frank Bacon's role in “Lightnin. died at his home in Brooklyn today. Nobles began his stage career in 1867, playing in the picturesque west. ern ‘stock companies of that day. In 1875 he started in his own dramatiza- tion of “Jim Bludsoe.” in Wood's Mu- seum, Philadelphia. He was the au- thor of numerous meiodramas, among them “The Phoenix,” in which he played for twenty-five years. The now famous line, “And the villian still pursued her,” is said to have originated in this play. In addi- tion to his engagements in the “le. gitimate,” Nobles and his wife, Dollie, played for many years on the vaude-. ville circuits. Just last week he ap. peared in a benefit revival of “She Stoops to Conquer” at the Empire Theater, a comedy in which he had played fifty-two years, —_————e Boston Globe Man Honored.

The pamphlets handed out on the train a guide to everything from | ocean ctiquette to where to find the Fleet of Taxis Waiting. Arriving at Baltimore, the special | train drew in at the Camden street station, where a fleet of taxis was ready to take the party to the good s<hip City of Atlanta. Nat Glasser of Crandall's Theater stood on the deck | taking movies of the departing boost- ers as the boat pulled out. A special tug raced him alongside the boat | again, and he clambered aboard just | as the deafening blast of sirens and | buzzers from Baltimore's fleet of fire | boats broke forth. This was a part of the demonstration in honor of the | Washington boosters planned by Sec- | retary Goldsborough of the Baltimore | Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation.

By the Associated Press | BUENOS AIRES, June 14.—The German flag ranked an easy second | in Argentina's trade befors the war| and, despite the surrender of the Ger- | man mercantile marine, it has almost | | regained that position since the sign- of the peace treaty, according to | shipping statistics just published. The premier place is still held by the| British, whose vessels at present | handle about 45 per cent of Argen- | tina’s foreign trade. | It probably will be a close thing be- tween the Italians and Germans as to | who will occupy second place in Ar- | gentina's carrying trade this vear, but it is believed that the Germans will win back their old position in the course of two or three years as every month sees a new German liner in these waters. France and the United States would appear to be dropping | back in the race. rmans are migrating by thou- saads to Argentina, which affords special incentives and attractions for them. Quite a number of German colonies are springing up, especially in north Argentina, and these create a natural trade with their homeland Also they give plenty of scope for expansion to the German steamship lines, who also have been lately spe- | cializing in what may be termed sec- ond class or one class passenger steamers. German vessels today bring | the greater proportion of north Eu- ropean passengers to Argentina Snnshin; iade to Order. Synthetic sunlight for the benefit of | tuberculosis patients has been made with some considerablc evidence of success, according to hospital author- ities in FEurope. The sunlight is made by an electrical device and the rays are said to be identical with | those from the sun.
