RADID USED FOR BATILING RUNNERS Balfalo Coast Guand Fleets Adopt | New Measures —_— Buftalo, July 13 (UP) — Radio now is being used by the Buffalo coast guard fleet in the h“‘s‘\m' fensive against rum-runners on hor- der waters. Powerful radio transmitting and recelving sets have been 1 stalled on 15 of the 75-foot coast guard boats that call Buffalo the home port, and have been sent out through lake Erle and Ontario to track down the contraband smugsglers ships will be in constant communi- cation with strategic coast & points along the American border. The ships equipped with radio will patrol the lanes most frequent- | ed by the smugglers who dare the elements and the coast guard bul- lets to keep Americans supplied with wet goods. The patrol boats will radio to home stations on sighting rum runners and the smaller and specdier cutters at these stations will then be dis- patehed in an effort to corner the wet goods. But, according to the bootleggers refused 1o b stopped. The rumors have it that they Intend to match radio with radio. rumors here, May Refusc Permits An inaccessible point on the Canadian shore has been tentalive- ly selected as a site for an inter- terence station, it is rumored. How- ever, the technical details still re- main to be ironed out. Then, too, there is the question of the Domin- ion radio permit, and it is more than likely that the government of- ficials will frown upon such project of the interference type ot station. ' Provided a permit is obtained tof cperate an interference station, the station may be able to drown out all messages sent Dby the rum chasers to shore points. The coast guard sets will carry only 100 miles even when reception is at its best. However, the building of such a ation by a syndicate of rum run- ners is extremely unlikely and it be- gins to look as if they will have to chance their shipments across to the American side the same as here- tofore, Jncrease Difficulties If they do, their chances of land- ing contraband are a great deal less than formerly, with the new sys- tem put into effect by the coast svard. Instead of escaping one patrol boat, the rum runners will be forced to run a blockade of a num- ber of boats, due to the fact that a radio message can be flashed to other boats to come to the scene and help in the locating of a rum runner. Americans who thirst for cool Canadian ale, labeled nmine per cent, will find that the new system will affect them in the nature of in- creased retall prices. Liquor runners, of course, will be at a disadvantage in that they will not be able to listen in on the broad- casting of rum running news, which done over low wave length sets. The coast guard employs a code that is not known to the rum running gentry. BLOCK GAINS FREEDOM Samuel Block of Talcott strec who went to jail 10 days ago for faflure to pay a fine of $200 and costs which was imposed on the charge of violation of the liquor law, was released today on order of Judge Henry P.

Since short skirts grew shorter voung ladies have envied the men who gained: coolness at home by removing their coats and vests. For a time it scemed that nothing could satisfy that envy for to remove any more of their clothes would mean altogether too much exposure. Now many Chicago girls, taking their cue from the habit of men ot rolling up their sleeves, have an- nounced that stockings are on their on cight-hour day for the silken things that cover their ankles. The young ladies wear silken stockings to work—at $2.00 a pair, summer days they have discovered that they can achieve coolness at home by removing them imniediate- Iy upon their arrival in ning. And they say, stockings which are worn only during working hours last twice as long, which means a saving of $1.00 a weck, or added money for vacations.

LONDON BEGOMES RELIGOUS CEVTER Many Secfs and Cults Have Headquarters There London, July 14.—London, me- tropolis of a world empire, is bes ginning to realize that it is also & metropolis of religious enterprises, Buddhism has established an out. post in this center of Christianity, and the Buddhists are planning to crect a monastery where transla- tions of the holy writings will be made and where the precepts of Buddha's teachings will be explain- ed to English-speaking people. For some time there has been an active Buddhist order in Lendon known as the British Mahabodhi Society. This issues a monthly mag- azine known as the “British Budd- hist.” But now a more active campaign i3 to be started.

But Budd« hism always has sought to do it by the word of truth and not by the sword of power. “It has sought to do it by bring- ing balm to men’'s hearts, not by bringing suffering. Buddhism has never heen guilty of religious wars or religious persecutions. It is be- cause of this that you westerns think we do not seek out men to bring unto them our truth, We do. “It is written in our sacred books: “‘Go ye, O Bhikkhus, and wander forth for the gain of the many, for {the welfare of the many, in com- passion for the world, for the good, for the gain, for the welfare of Gods and men. Proclaim, O Bhik- khus, the Doctrine glorious, prega ye a life of holiness, perfect and pure.’ “Also there are some among you who think that Buddhism is a dy- ing religion because there are only some 12,000,000 believers in India, the land of its birth.

Over half the population of Ceylon is Budd- hist; a large proportion of the peo- ple of Burmah are Buddhists; there are milllons in China; and in Japan and Siam the overwhelmiig bulk of the population follows the light of our religion. “In the western world we have foundations in Germany and Switz- erland and now are entering iy earnest upon our work in England Our priests, like those of Romag Catholicism, are celibates.
