AFTER THAT Cleveland judge solves the divorce problem she might build a perpetual motion machine. ATTORNEY GENERAL Daugherty never made any attempt to keep his presence secret during a certain campaign about two years ago. JACK LONDON’S spirit is reported to have said it—or he—craved a drink, recalling the husband who, addressed as darling by his departed, left the seance crying “fake.” Farm Prospects Improve With a wheat crop of approximately 35,000,000 bushels and a rye crop of 5,000,000 bushels promised this year, Indiana can well afford to be proud of its dominant industry. According to George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician, 2,053,000 acres have been seeded to produce "an agricultural outlook somewhat more encouraging Jhan a year ago.” Wheat is 90 per cent normal now. as compared to a ten-year average of 83 per cent, and rye is 92 per cent normal as compared to a ten-year average of 88 per cent. Mr. Bryant also finds that the swine outlook is improved, the number of breeding sows showing an increase of 14 per cent over last year. He estimates there are about 650,000 breeding hogs in the State with a brisk demand for those of high quality. On the farm labor situation, which has caused untold trouble in past years, Mr. Bryant has the following to say: “The farm labor supply in Indiana is now above normal for the first time in several years, being 101 per cent this year compared with 94 per cent last year The demand for farm labor is also slightly greater, being 9_ per cent compared with 89 per cent last year, while the per cent of supply to demand for farm labor is 110 per cent compared to 100 per cent last year and ,l 7 cent in 1920. Many farmers have changed their methods of farming by whien means thev can do a great deal more of their own work. Improved farm maehinerv has had a considerable Influence on the labor demand and supply as well as the low prices being paid for farm products. Inability to secure ready cash for the payment of wages has also had a tendency to keep hired labor at a I<>W While it is admitted the farm situation is far from satisfactory a big production will go a long ways in alleviating the ills that have beset the agriculturist in the last year or so. The farmer has been mighty patient and has taken his reverses philosophically and now with a brighter prospect In store the whole State rejoices with him.

Six-Year Presidents Congressman Will R. Wood's bill calling for a constitutional amendment to provide six-year presidential terms is worthy of more consideration than is granted most proposals to change the basic laws of the Nation. Although it is doubtful if the people as a whole are sufficiently interested yet in such a change there is nevertheless a constantly increasing protest against the quadrennial submersion of the country in a national campaign and it is this very thing the measure is designed to correct Many people believe the President should be given only one term and in order to permit him ample time in which to work out his policies this element believes his tenure in office should be fixed at six years. Theoretically this would preclude an incumbent from spending the major portion of his first term in laying wires for** his second election, hut of course it would be little protection against an ambitious man who sought to perpetuate his ideas by naming his successor. The people, happily, would be the chief safeguard against such a system, Just as they now sit in judgment on officers who aspire to second terms. A constitutional amendment must run a long gantlet of legislators and legislative bodies before It can be embodied in the law of the land. The House and Senate must approve of the bill by a two-thirds vote each and then it must be ratified by three-iourths of the State Legislatures. By the time all of this has beep done the public will have had ample opportunity to discuss the merits of the proposal and to register opinions. If the conduct of a six-year President did not satisfy the public the latter always would have the option of returning a Congress of opposite political faith to serve as a check upon executive ambitions, and in this manner the country would be protected from an abuse of power that might be one of the eventualities of a long lease upon the most Important office within the gift of the Nation.

Home of the National Bootlegger (Fourth Chapter: 8,9, 10 Versps, Book of GenesU.) 8. And Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were In the field, that Cain rose u p against Abel his brother, and slew 9. An” the Lord said onto Cain. Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said. What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from ttnj ground. In talking to a man the other day who patronized bootleggers and was a lawbreaker, I suggested to him that as he was a prominent and well-to-do person he should help enforce the prohibition law instead of breakin# it, and how much benefit his example would be to others. His reply was, “I am not ‘my brother’s keeper.’ ” He got very 6ore at me when I reminded him that the first man who said that was a murderer. Every bootlegger is a Cain. He is worse than a Cain because he is killing his brother by inches. He has the mark of Cain set upon him. In order that the seat of National Government should be free from any State laws the District of Columbia was carved out and set aside for the site of our capital city—Washington—where our national laws could be absolutely impartially enforced; yet Washington is today the wettest city in the United States. If our Government is so weak arid corrupt that it cannot enforce its laws in the District of Columbia, where our United States courts, the Army, Navy and enforcement officers are located, God help the balance of the country. No wonder murder and robbery is rampant throughout the Unit’d States. No wonder there is so much stealing in the postoffices and express offices that even packages on which an extra fee is charged to insure same are not paid for when lost; no money being available for the purpose is the claim. The Washington newspapers are full of accounts of murder, robbery and rape committed while under the influence of moonshine. The Washington Times was bought and paid for by the liquor interests of the United States and turned over to Hearst to run in conjunction with his chain of publications in their interest. It was shown that perjury was committed in connection with the ownership. It used to be an honor to work for Uncle Sam in Washington, but the men and women who leave their homes now and go where the laws of the land are not enforced, but openly broken, would do better if they went to Hollywood and joined the movie colony and had some excitement while going to the hot place instead of going to our capital, which is filled with lawbreakers and where negroes openly attack white women in the parks and where buildings are so poorly constructed they fall down and kill hundreds. I have often stood on the streets in Washington and watched the thousands of disappointed people of this “other modern Sodom and Gomorrah’’ pass sadly by—and wondered what brings them there. If they were to be asked they would say broken promises, unfilled pledges. The whole atmosphere of Washington is un-American. The city and Government is dictated to by the financial, corrupt and criminal element of the big cities of the East. They even run special congressional limited trains from Washington to New York in five hours. Think of that. Think of the influence surrounding and dictating to the people of the United States, 75 per cent of whom live west of the Allegheny Mountains. The capital of the United States should be located near the center of our country and surrounded by the people who earn an honest living and are Americans. That the Wall street interests are afraid that this will happen sooner than dreamed of is evident from the fact they are constantly advocating the putting up of very expensive Government buildings in Washington while our soldiers go unpaid. Every voter in the United States west. of he Eastern range of mountains should object to the investment of another dollar of their money in a section of the United States where the influence is so bad the national laws cannot be enforced in the capital city and district.

YOUNGER GENERATION DOMINATES VARIETY BILLS The Governor and Prominent Society People to See University Revue

It’s the yffunger people this week who are grabbing off the honors on the local vaudevlllel bills. At Keith’s this week Kitty Doner, her sister and brother, are the featured players. Patrice and Sullivan, a youthful, couple, are stopping the show with their melody. At the Lyric Stein and Smith, although not the featured players, have enough ability and personality to make themselves the most talked-of act on the bill. It lboks like the younger generation Is in the lead this week. * -I- -I- -IQCITE A SPRINGY BILL ON VIEW AT KEITH’S THIS WEEK. The current bill at B. P. Keith’s is built along spring lines. Patrice and Sullivan in “An Interlude of Meldoy" halted proceedings yesterday afternoon with their piano and violin numbers. Even after the lights were up for the next act this couple was called bnck by an Insistent audience. These two people know how to mix the better class of numbers with the Jazz swinging type of the day. The act Is nicely presented by these two youthful look-! lng entertainers. Harry Langdon, assisted by Rose and Cecil, are on view in "After the Ball,” a funny little affair on golf. If you don’t understand golf expressions. It makes no difference, because Langdon's comedy antics are the main thing In this act. • As usual the “trick automobile” is used bv Langdon. It’s real fun. Billy" Wayne and Ruth Warren Introduce some odd eccentric dancing at the close of their act, which they call “The Last Car.” It's not what Eddie Kane and Jay Herman do that counts, but it is the way they put over their material which causes an audience to laugh and applause. Their evident appreciation of hearing the orchestra play at the close of their act Is a clever bit. I always have associated Kitty Doner with so much class and distinction that her act on the whole was rather a disappointment to me. While Miss Kitty Is on the stage (with the exception of the Bowery number, which has no place in the act) all Is well. Her ’ male" impressions sre the height of artistry, especially her “Bertie”’ number. Ted Doner, her brother, ts a nimble dancer. Sister Rose exhibits flimsy garments and aids in the dancing. I had the Impression during the entire act that It was Just too bad for this trin to leave dear old New York and journey out on week stands. Miss Doner’s appreciation of the work of the

H. -I- -I- -!- IN WHICH WE SPEAK WELL OF STEIN AND SMITH. Stein and Smith are not headlining the bill at the Lyric this week, but If they keep up the good work they will deserve the honor of topping many a bill. The act consists of two boys, a piano, some songs and stories. There are many aefs of this nature, but few with as much pop, personality and showmanship as these boy exhibit, “In Wigginsvtlle," Is the title of a musical comedy act which tops the bill. There are two men and four girls, a pretty rural setting, some catchy songs and dances In this act. Asa whole It Is well done and the singing Is pleasing. Brava, Barra and Truijillo are a team of Spanish dancers and a singer. The

dancers use castanets and know how t<> handle them. We rate their dancing far above the average dancing turn. The girl who sings has chosen the better class of songs and she knows how to put them over. A good act. I.anigon and Haney could use their talents to better advantage with some now material. The girl chii dance and her partner shows some signs of being a comedian. Johnson and Crane have a line of chatter on the “female cop” Idea. Not so good. We liked the man's voice and we were sorry that he Isn’t given more of a chance. Alice Nelson and company contributed a lot of hoakum to the bill that was well done. The “and company” Is the whole act. The Canton Troupo which closes the show. Is one of the features of the bill. The act consists of magic, acrobatics and the usual Chinese stunts. The Stanley animals open the show. A dancing poney arjd a bucking mule keep the audience amused. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -IUNCLE TOM IS NOW ON THE MOVIE SCREEN. A screen version of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Is the feature of the program at the Rialto Theater this week. Most every one Is familiar with the story, so there Is no need of telling it here. All of the characters and scenes of the stage version, Unele Tom, Little Eva, Topsy, Simon Lcgree, Eliza crossing tho ice, the river boat, the old plantation and tho slaves are found In the movie. The picture loses nothing in telling the story. Irving Cummings is the featured player. The bill includes a musical comedy organization called "Kloudyke Belles." Eighteen people are in the company. The opening is n rather pretty snow scene. The story concerns a snow-bound show troupo at the home of a farmer. A number of songs and dances are introduced. The comery is of the regulation rural comedy order. There are several specialties and a featured chorus f ten girls. At the Rialto all week.

PARK IS IN FINAL WEEK OF ITS SEASON. The Georgia Minstrels, the current offering at the Park, is the last attraction to be shown In this house this season as the Park goes dark after the Saturday night show to make way for extensive Improvements and alterations so that Shubert vaudeville can be housed there beginning on Labor Day. The Georgia Minstrels Is a negro organization of singers, dancers and comedians. The first act Is a typical minstrel first part with the orchestra on the stage and the entertainers in the oldfashioned semi-circle. The second part consists of specialties and the usual afterpiece. The outstanding features of the show are the hoop manipulating act and the “monkey on the wire.” Then there is the Georgia Society Four, harmony singers, and Chick F.eeman with his many changes of fancy colored dress suits. At the Park all week. -I- -I- -I----ON THE SCREEN. The following screen attractions are on view today: “Foolish Wives,” at the

Damped Waves Will Be Abandoned

By R. L. DUNCAN, Director, Radio Institute of America. With the rapid strides in the advancement of radio, the discontinuous or damped waves are going by the board. Transmitting stations are using direct current for Lieir source of power and their waves go out in continuous flow. These continuous or undamped waves are generated for the most part by vac■IWiIWAMW ‘Mrnm uum tubes, although the trans-Atlantic stations of the Radio Corporation of America employ the Alexandersen radio frequency alternator and the United States Navy uses a direct current arc generator. But the large broadcasting stations use the vacuum tube. On account of the different characteristics of the two types of waves, the ordinary crystal receiver cannot receive the code signals sent out by stations employing direct current or continuous waves. The frequency of the current, even after being rectified by the detector and passing through the head phones, is above audibility. No sound is heard except the opening and closing of the circuit. CAN’T HEAR CODES. While one may hear radio telephony on a crystal detector set, he cannot copy continuous wave code message on it. The broadcasted sound Is sent out by radio frequency wave motion termed the carrier wave. This is modulated at an audio frequency by the phone Into which the operator speaks. Code messages sent out on a continuous wave do not enjoy the same advantage. For the amateur desiring to listen in on all code signals as well as broadcasted music and lectures, the regenerative receiving set should be used. As the continuous or undamped waves come through the air, they are received on the regenerative circuit in form of diagram 1. No. 2 represents the local waves generated by the vacuum tube in the regenerative set. No. 3 shows the difference of the two applied frequencies, represented by 1 and O t No. 4—The rectified heat currents. No. s—The5 —The telephone current.

RADIO PRIMER RESISTANCE—This means the property of bodies which opposes the flow of electrical current. Just as water passes less easily through a small, long pipe than through a large, short pipe, so an electric current encounters considerable resistance in passing through a wire of great length and of poor conducting quality. And the current encounters less resistance in passing through a short wire that is a good conductor. WET PLATFORM FOR CAMPAIGN INADVISABLE

J. P. Dunn Predicts Issue at Primaries Will Be Prohibition. To the Editor: Judge Deery is absolutely right In his proposition that prohibition is the issue in the pri-sent primary campaign. I find some Democrats who are saying that: “One man cannot make the issue for the party,” but when the candidates for the head of the ticket declare their platform, as Dr. Sanders and Mr. Turk have done, if the voters nominate them they adopt the declared platform. That is the purpose of the primary law —to permit the people not only to name their candidates, but also to make the issues in this way. It is "the initiative" in its simplest and least obnoxious form. Asa political move, such an adoption of a “wet” platform does not look hopeful to me. Prohibition carried In Indiana. “hands down.” when all the saloons and breweries were active factors In politics. Now that they are gone, a party advocating wet principles would have no trouble about keeping Its campaign expenditures within the legal limit, even without a gentlemen's agreement. All of their former efficiency in organization is completely wiped out. Even if one or more wet candidates were elected in Indiana, their victory would be purely sentimental, as there is not the slightest possibility of changing the eighteenth amendment or the Volstead law. It would be hitching the party to another “lost cause.” But there is a more serious consideration. The first two sections of the eighteenth amendment are ns follows: “Sec. 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into or the exportation thereof from, the United States nnd all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. “Sec. 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce tills article by appropriate legislation.” It will he seen that this gives Congress no power whatever except to "enforce the prohibition of intoxicating liquors.” Beer and wine have been held by the courts repeatedly to bo intoxicating liquors. It is an unquestionable rule of law that this article must he Interpreted In accordance with those decisions. Every Senator and Representative In Congress takes an oath to support the Constitution. This amendment is just as much a part of the Constitution as any other provision. if the DomoMratio party nominates avowed “wet” candidates, under these conditions, the prohibition question will necessarily be the issue in the election, because the Republican party and its candidates are conclusively bound to prohibition by their record. But the Democratic party would enter the campaign under the handicap of advocating, not the repeal of the prohibition amendment, hut the violation of the fundamental law of the land by men who are sworn to uphold It. We should he known as "the Bootleggers” from the outset, for our avowed purpose would he exactly the bootlegger determination to get liquor by violation of law. Nor would this result be for the present only. We should have to put In the next decade or two living down our bootlegger record, after wc had been snowed under at the polls, as we would he, inevitably. It would he a crime to allow the Democrats of Indiana to walk into such a deadfall without warning of what It means; and I think Judge Deery deserves thanks for publicly calling attention to what Is really confronting the pnrty at this time. The Democratic party Is obliged, now, to say whether It favors obedience to the national constitution or violation of it. JACOB P. DFNN. INDIANAPOLIS.

APRIL 11, 1822.

BY R. C. KENNAN. Many radio shows are being staged over the United States. Plans are being perfected to hold a radio exposition at Pittsburgh, Pa., about April 15. Many manufacturers have already signified their intentions of exhibiting at the Pittsburgh show. The Radio Exhibitors’ Syndicate of Brooklyn, N. Y., will hold their radio equipment show at the armory of the Twenty-Seventh Division on Dean street, Brooklyn, April 3. There is no difference between a radio phone receiver and a radio telegraph receiver. Any receiver will respond to’ music and signals from the broadcasting stations. We are often asked about loud speakers, for crystal receiving sets. It can’t be done without an amplifying unit. Very seldom Is the sound so intense that it is necesary to remove the receivers from the ears. Only in such cases could a laud speaker be used to advantage. A special meeting of the Indiana Society of Radio Engineers has been called for Saturday evening, April 16, 8 p. m., at Shortridge study hall. Every radio enthusiast in Indianapolis and vicinity is invited to this meeting. Mr. Hamilton, president of the senior organization, has some very valuable Information on the amateur situation and the 1922 convention will be discussed in detail. This is an opportunity for every radio enthusiast, young and old, to become a member of the Indiana Society of Radio Engineers. It is suggested that every one take the advantage of this opportunity to become connected with the organization, as the membership is limited and will be closed very shortly.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID COPY. “Here stands a post; Who put It there? A better man than you; Touch It if you dare!” “I like that verse.” said Puss Junior to himself. "It sounds as If the man who wrote it was a brave man.” But more than that, the post was of great help to ail travelers, for on it was hung a sign telling how many miles it was to this town and how many to that, ,nd while Puss Junior stood at the crossroads uncertain which way to go, Tom, the Piper's Son, came by playing gaily "Over the Hills and Far Away!” “I'll take the road over the hills and far away.” said Puss to himself. He did not look back at the pleasant road that led through the green meadows. "Over the hills and far away” was the road for him. By and by he came to a cottage by the roadside. Close to the fence stood two little old people, each looking as cross as two sticks. The little old man was weeding the garden, scowling all the while, and his little old wife was leaning on the fence, frowning as hard as she could. “What's the trouble, my good woman?” asked our little traveler. “My little old man and I fell out; I’ll tell you what 'twas all about— I had money and he had none. And that's the way the noise begun.” said the little old woman "Too bad,” replied Puss. “And you have such a nice garden, and such a pretty cottage.” “Its this way," cried the little old man. coming up to the fence. "She keeps the key to the little iron bank and won't let me get out even a penny now and then to bny tobacco with. That’s what's the matter.” Well, I don't know what the little old woman would have said to this if at that moment a stage coach hadn’t stopped before the gate. And then out jumped Little Bo Peep, Simple Simon, Little Red RidinghooclT Jack and Jill, and lots of other Mother Goose people. And would you believe it? Each one had something nice for the grumpy old people. Simple Simon had a box of tobacco which pleased the little old man immensely, and what the little girls gave the old lady pleased her very much. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that. (Copyright, 1922.) To be concluded tomorrow. CRIPPLE WINS MEDAL.
