ROTARIANS HEAR COMMON SENSE TALK Roy Soule Tells Members Not to Be Afraid of Fear Bhowers of applause greeted the ears.of Roy Sbule of Boston, Mass., after he had delivered an interesting and common sense talk to the mem- bera of the New Britain Rotary club at the weekly luncheon held this noon | at the Elks' club on Washington street. Mr. Soule, who had as his topic “Whose Hooteh" but in reality 8poke on business salesmanship and what it means to be successful in this world, was one of the best speakers heard in New Britain in some time. Mr. Soule in his talk placed em- phasis on the many peculiar but most often preyentable hahits that most people have, He remarked that a salesman {s often afflicted with a habit which in time turns business away from him and makes life a fail- ure instead of a success. The speaker asserted that no -one’ can attempt to make a sale and be afflicted with a habit which proves more of gpadttraction to the eye of the customer than the point of the gale iteelf. Mr. Soule remarked that it_is best to have nothing detract from what a person is attempting to do. Beware of Fxcuses. “Men are prone to make excuses, the speaker asserted, which will help them out of their difficulties for the time being»” The greatest excuse most men make, according to the speaker, is that they forget. Everyone pays for the inefficiency caused by the thoughtiess person, Mr. Boule asserted, but this could be pre- veated if all people would arrange their thoughts so that they would be in order. Have No Fear. The greatest fault to be found with anyone, the speaker said, i3 fear. He claims that everyoné has fear and everyone is afrald of something. He also claimed that inborn fear has more to do in whipping a man dur- ing his life than anything else. With, fear comes the dodging of re- sponsibility, Mr. Soule asserted. Peo- ple, especially a great many business men and the young people just start- ing out in life are afraid to tackle something new or anything which appears to be greater than what they think they can do, he claimed. This should not be the case and everyone should tackle opportunities presented them no matter how big or small, for if they don't someone else will come along to do it and before long the opportunity is lost, Mr. Soule added. In closing he said that he had the highest of praise for the business men in New Britain who are riding at the top of the ladder today bu! who, during thgir business had one or more failures. Want Manager Back On motion of Judge Gcorge Klett it was voted that the Rotary club should back a movement to secure ‘Willlam Mason as mapager of the ‘Western Union office in New Britain and that a committee of three be ap- pointed to notify the district manager for Connecticut of the desired change. The employes at the local office as well as the members of the Rotary club want Mr. Mason assigned to this city permanently. He has been here at intervals during the past year and at present is located in Danbury. Committee Reports Max Unklebach, chairman of the committee in charge of securing sleep- ing and eating accommodations for €00 boys who will attend the Older Boys' eonference in New Britain be- gioning Friday of next week, reported that homes were needed for several more boys and as many members as possible, it they have steeping quarters or can arrangeé for meais, are asked to send word to the committee. B. and P. Open House An invitation was read by President Leon Sprague from the Business and Protessional Women's club, inviting Rotarians to attend the open house party to be held at the new home of the soclety on High street on Thurs- day evening, November 9. Meeting Next Week .Dr. Robert P. Carson of Colorado, will be the speaker at the luncheon to be held at the Elks club on Thurs- day at noon of next week.

CLAINS COMPAMIES WANT “HONOPOLY Omaha Man Sues *Concerns to Halt Curb on His Broadcasting Omaha, Oct. 19.—A charge that the Radio corporation of America, the General Electric company and others have entered a conspiracy to obtain a monopoly of wireless service and pre~ vent individual use of the radio is made in a suit flled in the United States district court today by John O, Yeiser Jr, of Omaha, who asks an injunction to restrain the defendants from interfering with his right to broadcast. Stations Crowded. Mr. Yeiser alleges that “there are ,000 wave lengths that may be used in transmitting distinct non-interfer- ing radio service, and yet the said de- fendants, by conspiring with unknown underlings in the department of the zovernment assuming to exercise au- thority over the radio service, have crowded all broadcasting stations sending muslc, lectures and educa- ‘ional matters to waves of 360 met- ers.” The Radio corporation, Gen- eral FElectric company, the American Telephone and Telegraph company, the Northwestern Bell Telephone com- pany and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company and oth- or persons and corporations unknown to Mr. Weiser, he avers, “intend to crect distinct sending stations and commercialize the same by charges for broadcasting.” Office Is Closed. He alleges his own radio station was closed recently because he wae operating slightly above ths 360-meter wave length, and that the first amend- ment to the Constitution, which says, ‘Congress shall make no law abridg- ing the frecedom of speech or of the oress,”” is being thereby violated. A ury to determine damages, which he 1leges to be $25,000, s reguested, ‘with treble damages under the Sher- unan anti-trust law and an attorney's tee of $25,000.

Lewls FFowler, a member of the faculty of Lanier Uni- versity of Atlanta. The mayor was replying to a letter protesting that the organization' had been misrepre- sented and offering to aid the mayor in the maintenance of law and order in Milwaukeo, For Law and Order. “Let me state,' salys the mayor's letter, “that for law and order Mil- waukee etands first among all the cities in the world. Consequently, for You to come here from the state where lynching is the most popular outdoor sport to tell our people that they need this organization, with its hoods and’ nighties, te insure law and order is in itself ridiculous. “We encourage all, including your- self, to bring to our officlals . in the ordinary way any evidence of law breaking. We are ready to deal with crime. “Any claim, therefore, that hooded knights of the ‘invisible empire, directed from your imperial palace, are needed here to enforce law and order {s a clear fraud. “Your claim of setting up an ‘in- visible empire,’ taking orders from yvour imperial palace in Atlanta, fis either true or false. “If it be false, you are collecting money from dupes by fraud. If it be true, you are attempting to transfer the government from its proper of- fices to the Kup Klux Klan. Such a course will land your officers and thousands of members in the Federal penitentiaries, as was the case in the recent attempt of the Communists to organize an underground govern- ment."” GRADUATE.
