No Interference . “Extension lectures may be broad cast from the college university ‘with. out in any way interfering with the Jocal audience within the school. It 18 not now. necessary that the school have its own broadcasting station; a powerful central station nearby con- nected therewith by the microphone in the lecture room may be used. In some instances the lectures are being “followed up by questionnaires and suggested reading, which are malled to the listeners upon request, and by examination sheets following at ~the end of the course. “Pfoneers are already active in this fleld, and the situation seems to in- dicate both individual and concerted action. ' There are, however, a great many intricate problems connected with the subject of broadcasting, which the National Radio Chamber of Commerce hopes to see solved with- in a comparativaly short time. These problems have an intimate connection with the success of any considerable program of educational extension by radio.” Kenneth P.

Democracy in Industry “The demand for a democratlc spirit in control of industry is great. A good {llustration is the life of a great man. Some yecars ago in the city of New York there lived a gentle- man by the name of Cornelius Van- derbilt. He was a man of very fine character and was llked by family and friends. He gave generously to numerous: charities and a great uni- versity bears his name because of the large amounts he bestowed -upon it. When he died he left a fortune of $180,000,000 which was regarded as a very large fortune. A large portion of it was representative of the service of the labor of the industries he con- trolled. Take for instance his railway. Credit Is due to the engineers and others who worked for tne rallway and to the people who shipped, namely the manufacturers, and people who rode as passengers. They all did their bit toward making it a success. Vanderbilt's Value to Soclety “Take into consideration the casc of Adam, who lived 4004 years be- fore Christ or 6000 years ago. Sup- pose Adam had been one of those long-lived individuals and suppose he had worked steadily during the 6000 years, three hundred days a year. It he worked steadily 6000 years, 300 days a year at $100 a day he would be possessed of $180,000,- 000, Did Mr. Vanderbilt in his short life render a service in society equal to its value, working for 6000 years, 300 days a year. I do not believe he 4ld. Suppose on the left hand side of some city a group of men get to- gether and incorporate and decide to start a factory, manufacturing steam engines. They carry on the business, make goods and also make money. But thew do, not care for the men and women working for them. There is little spirit of good will and while making money they are not getting the friendship of the people for themselves. The smoke which comes from their shimneys is like the black flag of piracy. “On the right hand side of the city another group also organizes incor- porate and bullds factories. They carry on the business in the same way tut infuse a more social atmos- phere and interest among their em- ployees and there was such co-opera- tion and good will that as well as making money they were gaining the filendship of the whole community. The black smoke which comes from their chimneys is like a cloud in the daylight lecding the people to the land of promise. “Thore should be co-operation on both sides of the fence, namely on the part of the employer and on the part of the employec. If you do your work in a pleasing way, put spirit and good will into it, then everything will be the way it should and the human relation in industry will be a success.” The meeting was opened with sing- ing by the audience led by Dan Nolan. The songs were '“The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Long, Long Trall Awinding,” “Old Black Joe” and “Smiles.” Walter H. Hart, president of board of directors of the Y. M. C. A., spoke on the “New Britain Industrial Coun- eil” and explained briefly just what this council meant to the people of it was stated, “is to see that radio broadcasting nssumes, in the course of its evolution, a sound economir position of greatest possibile useful- ness.” Firemen Saved Woman Trapped on Window Sill New York, Jan. 1.—Soon after fire- men had begun fighting a blaze in an old four story house at 247 West Twenty-second street yesterday Mrs. Isabella Ludlow, who had been trap- ped on the second floor, stepped to the ledge of a window, which she closed behind her and began crying Yar help.

SIX ARE KILLED IN TWO AUTO CRASHES Four Meet Death in Baltimore and Two in an Ohio Town Baltimore, Jan. 1.—Four men were killed instantly and two others were injured yesterday when a seven-pas- senger touring car in which they were riding crashed into a telegraph pole at the north end of the Hanover street bridge. The car was going north at a ter- rific rate of speed, witness say. The driver, unable to make the turn down the slight declivity at the end of the bridge, hit the pole squarely. The car swung around several times, careening from one side of the street to the other, finally coming to a stop, almost completely demolished, seventy-five yards north of the pole. The identity of the dead has not been established. In the pockets of the two were automoblle registration cars’ bearing the names of U. W. 8. Mitchell and Raisler. Richmond, Ind., Jan. 1.—Two per- sons were killed and two others seri- ously hurt when an automobile In which they were riding was struck by an interurban car at New Westerville, Ohio, five miles east of here.

George Wickett, 17, and Miss ,Beatrice I"all, 18, both of Richmond, were seriously injured. Little hope is held out for Wickett's recovery. ! The party was returning to Rich- mond from Dayton, Ohio, when the accident occurred. HEBREW SCHOOL OFFICERS.

Rreservations sold usually at $15 a plate, plus the customary king's ransom for viands. “Sauce” Was Popular A feature in some of the dining, rooms was the unprecedented popu- larity to which a certain brand of sause bottle attained, and the sauce itself must have been more palatable than usual for guests who ordinarily took a few drops of it, consumed en- tire bottles, apparently with great relish. 50 Held in Newark Newark, N. J, Jan. 1.—Although downtown cafes, hotels and cabarets could not accommodate the crowds last night, prohibition officers raid that there was less liquor consumed here than on any New Year's sincc national prohibition went into effect. Celebrators were merry but for the most part sober, the officers raid. About 50 persons were arrested, 30 of whom were charged with being in- toxicated. The others were held on charges of carrying concealed weap- ons and firing them within the city limits. No Raids In Chicago Chicago, Jan. 1.—Chicago welcomed the advent of 1923 in characteristic manner, celebrations running from church services and home watch par- ties to liquor larks and all-night frol- ics. Revelers virtually were undisturbed by federal prohibition agents. None of the prominent downtown cafes and hotels and fashionable outlying places were disturbed. A few arrests were made, according to reports and some of the minor places of enter- tainment visited by the government cfficers. “Juture New Year's eve revels will be great or small by comparison with this one which sent the 1922 calendar into the thrash basket’ said a sum- mary printed in a morning newspap or. Trouble in St. Louis S8t. Louis, Jan. 1,—Two men were shot and wounded, a woman was in- jured and a barrage of chairs, glass- ware, plates, knives and forks were i hurled promiscuously in a riot which oceurred at the fashionable Hotel Chase early today when guests in the main dining hall objected to the in- trusion of prohibition enforcement agents and a squad of policemen who were searching for liquor. No Arrests Made No arrests were made in connec- tion with the disorder which started when the dry enforcement officers commencing lifting table covers and gearching for liquor. Failing to find any of the contraband the officers first were applauded then pelted and jeered and finally the rumpus was in swing. It lasted only a short while. The Chase hotel, like all other lead- ing hostelries and restaurants report- ed record breaking reservations for celebration of the New Year. Wet Celebrators Canght A dozen arrests for violations of the Volstead act were made by the dry Jaw agents and the police who patrol- led the various public places where celebrations were held.

Y, and Then Cause Damage of $25,000. Bath N. Y. Jan, 1.—Safe crackers blew up a safe in a store here yester- day, secured $4,500 in coupon bonds and cash, and set the Shannon busi- ness block afire, causing $25,000 dam- age. The safe blowing was the work of amateurs, the police say. The men apparently employed a combination of guncotion and nitroglycerin, using such an overcharge that the room in which the safe was located was blown apart. The safe was in the store of Lewis Hand, a variety goods merchant. The second and third floors of the block are used as apartments. The flames spread rapidly and fire- men carried two women down ladders to safety. While the firemen and citizens were fighting the fire in a high wind, safe blowers operated in another section of the city, opening with explosives the safe and cash vault in a coal dealers office, but gained nothing of value.

Scores of prominent citizens,' many of whom had not entered a church more than onec a twelvemonth for years, assembled with members of churches representing 10 different creeds and embracing Catholics, Prot- estants, Jews and negroes. The other 12 churches in Nyack were closed to allow their congrega- tions to unite at the Reformed Church, where the Rev. Dr. Sartell Prentice, in a farewell sermon closing his 19 years pastorate, presented the plan. He called it “the community- behind the church movement.” The movement was organized by a committee of 30 leading citizens who were called together three weeks ago by Supreme Court Justice Arthur s Tompkins to discuss the problem of revitalizing the church. Only one of the 30 men was an officer of a church. The membership includes three doc- tors, two presidents of local banks, two editors of local papers, the chief of the fire department, six labor union heads, 10 commuters, brokers and business men of New York city and six local business men. As the first move in the campaign the committee called 500 families whose members did no§ regularly at- tend church, and asked them to go to the Reformed church Jast night. As a result, the church was crowded and hundreds were unable to get inside. It was estimated that 50 per cent. of the congregation ‘were persons who rarely if ever attend church. One of the most active members of the committee was asked what church he belonged to. He replied “The Episcopal church is the one 1 keep away from.” The committe took down the names of all the persons in the church, and will hold a meeting within ten days| o draft a letter asking them to get behind the movement. More defi- nite plans for tarrying on the drive| will also be formulated at the meet- | ing. Since the movement was originated news of it has spread throughout the eastern portion of the United States, and hundreds of letters have been re- celved by th committe requesting in- formation as to how the drive started, how it was succeeding and other de- tails, and expressing the intention of starting similar campaigns if it should prove successful in Nyack. Besides Justice Tompkins, the com- mittee includes Mortimer B, Patter- son, Surrogate of Rockland county; Walter 8. Gedney, former police jus- tice; Drs. Charles Kiine, C.
