A—6 oy bl oo NN HOOVER, ON PHONE, CREETS YRIOVEN Cordial Expressions Are Ex- changed by Presidents Sep- arated by 6,000 Miles. For 14 minutes President Hoover, at his desk in the White House executive offices, sat and talked yesterday after- noon with President Hipolito Yrigoyen of Argentina, 6,000 miles away, and the Chief Executives of two of the greatest nations in thé Western Hemisphere of- fered fervent wishes for the welfare of the countries linked by telephone and radio comrhunication. It was a delayed greeting. that Presi- dent Hoover offered President Yrigoyen, for the latter, when the service was opened last Thursday, was unable to take part in the conversations because of a sore throat. At the opening of the service President Hoover spoke to the Presidénts of Uruguay and Chile. President Hoover said: “It has often beenltruly l!lifl that in t|h= meu}xrle that peoples enjoy * personal acquaintances mg one another, so do the intangible, but none the less effective barriers which separate them dissolve. ~ This new means of communication, therefore. which permits individuals separated in the almost insuperable manner in which the residents of the Argentine Republic and of the United States now are, to converse, actually to speak and to hear the spoken word, must inevitably con- tribute to an extraordinary degree to the destruction of those barriers.” President Yrigoyen recalled with pleasure conversations with President Hoover on his South American trip and agreed that the new telephone service between the nations would be an “ad- ditional factor in the expansion of communication between our two nations. But I must also say to you, as my con- viction in this matter becomes even greater, that uniformity of thought and human feeling cannot be guaranteed so much by the advances of the exact and itive sclences as by concepts which, m’. inspirations from heaven, most con- stitute the reality of life.” ——e HIGH SCHOOL BOXER DIES AS BELL RINGS Student-Opponent Is Not Detained, as Death Is Attributed to Heart Attack.

Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif,, April 11. —When the papers get through rav- ing about Mrs. McCormick being elected on “Don't enter the World Court” maybe somebody will accl~ dently give her election the real cerdit. It was the woman nerself. She could have won on “Don't enter the world serles” just as easy, But how we will pay for her election! Every woman that can fill out an application blank will start running for something. It will take 10 years to prove to women that it takes more than a kimono and an ambi- tion to make a statesman. P.

All pianos not sold outright ‘we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable ad- vertising we will receive by having good families use them.
