The Seattle Star Pub: D Phone vies, By ear 92,00. y The Star Py ' A Ban Francisco Controlled Radio HE American Telegraph and Telephone company al- ready has a virtual monopoly of the telephone sys- tems of the country. Because of the widespread en- thusiasm for radio in the country, the company undertook to get control of that field of communication by buying up patents to radio instruments. Right now the struggle for control of the alr is cen- tered in New York city, where the A. T. & T, has brought a lawsuit to prevent broadcasting with instruments made by an independent radio manufacturer. The A. T. & T. controls so many radio patents that it is hardly possible for anyone to make an instrument without infringing on them. If the A. T. & T. wins this suit, and it stands as prece- dent, “one man at the office of the great corporation bringing this suit and others could dictate what the entire nation should hear on their radio sets. That is entirely too much power to place in one position.” The quotations are those of Henry M. Shaw, president of the Radio Trade association. Along with Shaw are ministers, theater owners and numerous other citizens as much interested in a free radio as they are in free Speech or a free pres Secreta of Commerce Hoover has joined in the fight on the side of the independents. Says he: “It would be most unfortunate for the people of this country, to whom radio broadcasting has become an im- portant incident of life, if its control should cume Into the hands of any single corporation, individual or com- bination. It would be in principle the same as tho the entire press of the country were so controlled.” Too much broadcasting spoils the air for everybody. There must be control, to prevent broadcasters from de- stroying each other's efforts. It was to meet this situa- tion that the A. T. & T. says they entered the field to make itself the self-appointed dictator of order in the air. That is not the way to solve the problem, whatever may have been the motives of the directors of the telephone If we must have an octopus of the air, let’s have it a government octopus, which can be broken to harness by the people. Then let Uncle Sam control the air. And, of course, for every scofflaw there is a scofflawyer. ” Gentlemen and “Roughnecks FEW days ago The Star inquired why it was that a man who was a gentleman afoot often became “a roughneck” in an auto, Why it was that one pedestrian never yelled at another who crossed his path, “Hey, dumbbell, keep on your own side! Now comes a reader who neglects to sign his name, but who has the answer. It’s this: > FIRST: * The “parties at court” are not gentlemen, or. wouldn’t do it. ‘COND: Ownership of an auto is synonymous with power or authority, and 75 per cent of people cannot use power or authority without abuse. The “gentleman” is simply lording it over other folks. THIRD: On foot the “gentleman” is afraid of being ed. He may yell in safety from a fast auto. He prompted in this respect in the same way that the ee who attend the ball games and the prizefights yell the umpire’s scalp and for blood—en masse courage. A lady or gentleman will, at all times, whether in an auto, in a home, an office or in the open, be “fine.” Thank goodness, there are many such,,for it would be a terrible world if everyone was a “roughneck.” It Is oily talk to say that s poor memory covers a multitude of sins. $1 McLean LIAM J. Burns, in charge of the government's » secret service department, explains why Edward _ B. McLean, owner of the Washington Post, was carried on the department’s roll as a special investigator. “I found him to be very useful,” said Burns. “We got a lot of information thru him and thru the Post. We could use him and the Post when we wanted to find out _ something.” - Senator Walsh, later, pressed Mr. Burns: “You say, » Mr. Burns, you have a lot of clean, honest men who could have investigated this scandal had you been asked? One of your men, Mr. McLean, has been revealed to this com- Mittee as a liar and a perjurer. Is that the kind of opera- tives you have?” _ “Oh!” replied Burns, “you know, Senator, we don't rely ‘on these dollar-a-year fellows. I was speaking of my ‘Teal men.” Lawyers rush in where angels never tread. Better Living JN February, one month alone, American production of pig iron was almost as large as in tht entire year This is typical of most forms of production. The result ‘is a steadily advancing standard of living. The average American probably uses 100 times as many articles in his daily life as people of 1881. And, once adopted, they seem like indispensable necessities. Pipe Prohibition DROHIBITION takes strange and futile forms. In Bul- garia the government forbids the sale of cigars and pipes. The purpose is to check the rapidly growing popu- larity of pipes and cigars. Bulgarians are deserting the _cigaret. That annoys their government, which controls the cigaret industry and reaps big profits from it. LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN SALOME?

The committee la considering a road-butiding plan devised by Horace M. Albright, superintendent of Yellowstone park, who has worked up a road system for all the parks. The house road system calis for an expenditure of 00,- 000, to be used over a period of three years, to make all nation- al playgrounds accessible to the ever-increasing stream of automobile tourists who invade the parks each summer. Last year 1,500,000 people vis. ited the parks, The number of automobiles using the roads in. creased so much that the park service {s not able to maintain the roads on its present appro- priation of less than $800,000, Last year more than $600,000 was collected from automobilists by the parks at the gates in fees, The parks are required by law to return this sum to the United States treasury, instead of using it for the improvement of roads.

Battleship fleets will be obsolete, lin a few years, if they are not al- ready out of date, Airplanes will be the main branch of the service. In the world war, air fighting be- gan at a comparatively low altt- tude, It soon was learned that tho jairplane that could fly the highest jand get above its opponent was the more powerful. At the end of the war jt was common for battie planes to fight at 18,000 feet. Building airplanes that could fly to this height was one thing, and finding men who could handle them was another. These great heights produced a condition called “air staleness,” something similar to the overtraining of an athlete, In the last year of the war, the majority of experienced British flyers were unable to ascend t6 high altitudes because of this sickness. Careful testing of airmen original. ly, and close observation of thelr physical condition afterward, are nec: essary. This work of producing aviators was undertaken on a vast scale by the United States near the end of the war, but it has not since tecelved much attention for peace Or: preparedness purposes, | D/S BY/HAL AID an ordinary father, to an ordinary son, there are lots of tips I want to give you. Just plain advice, but helpful, and you'll know, when I am} done, the daily things you should, and shouldn't do. * You've heard it snid that smoking, in your youth, will stunt your growth, so shun the corncob pipe and cigaret. There comes a time, when you are grown, when you can use them both, but, son, that time, remember, isn't yet. Be sure and get the hours of sleep that mind and body need; and with cheap novels burn no midnight oil. In youth you travel, all day long, at rather breakneck speed; no sleep at night or else your health will spoil. Don't squander pocket money, that your dad has given you. Don't figure “easy come and easy go." From every lar that you get Just save a dime or two. Tho benefit, in later years, you'll know Just sum up all these little tips and act accordingly. I know the worth of what I'm telling you. For, listen son, the hardships thet have made it hard for me, are just these tips—the things I didn't do. | s by the moon In Hi A.
