PRETTY soon all of the city hall employes will have a political organization title, also.. -t THE FIGHT to save the U. S. oil reserve shows that where there's a well there's a way. PEGGY JOYCE was a barber's daughter. Maybe that is why she is so good at scraping acquaintances. GENERAL. WOOD evidently prefers to be governor of a large island than president of a small university. V IT SHOULD not be difficult for Mayor Shank to recruit a junketing committee —especially if the city pays the bill. NOTHING makes a defeated candidate madder than to see his picture in a window or on a telephone pole a week after the primary. ITS a question whether those Kansas girls were so much perturbed over the proposal to substitute cotton for silk stockings as they were over the intimation they couldn't roll the cotton hosiery. Regulating Negro Cabarets Chief of Police Rikhoff has announced that he will clamp the "lid" upon the notorious negro cabarets out in the Indiana avenue neighborhood and has Instructed specially assigned officers to see that the proprietors adhere to the same customs that govern similar places frequented by white people. ‘To frying about the proper regulation of these places the chief has created two new police divisions, each under a lieutenant and a sergeant, and if his plan is strictly followed it should mean the elimination of much of the wild night life in the negro belt. There is no good reason, and never has been, why negro dance halls and cabarets should be allowed to operate in full defiance of the law and conventionalities of the city, except, perhaps, that the party in power extended its lease in office by permitting mre liberties and licentiousness among the colored population in return for 3 votes. Three especially turbulent negro cabarets have been open all night long, according to the police, while the white places have closed at midnight. Many a wild carousal has been traced to the negro dives, and the chief is taking a proper step when he seeks to regulate the places. Perhaps the fact that the negro wards went almost solidly for Senator New in the primary, while the Shank administration was supporting Albert J. Beveridge, has something to do with the new order of things, but, nevertheless, it should have been done long ago. *

The Double X Society While the victims of double-crossing so extensively practiced in the primary are taking stock and condoling each other, they might examine the circumstances by which Marion County was carried by Senator Harry S. New, while Albert J. Beveridge's chief sponsor. Mayor Shank, captured the Republican county organization The factions contending for control each selected a senatorial aspirant under which to cloak their fight for supremacy, the Jewett-Tiemcke forces taking Senator New and the Shank-Armitage group taking Albert J. Beveach side was supported by a newspaper. The Star became Mayor Shank's chief defender and the News attempted to ride back Into power with Mr. Jewett and Mr. Lemcke, but failed, as usual. Several times the Star felt impelled to deny the charge that it was supporting Mayor Shank through a deal by which he was to help nominate Mr. Beveridge. Whether this allegation is true or not, the mayor stumped the State for Mr. Beveridge, while his chief political adviserr William H. Armitage, conducted the details of the struggle to control the county organization. It was reported several times on the eve of she primary that the ShankArmitage workers were slating Mr. New in certain precincts wherein it was necessary to win the committeemen, while in others they went straight down the line for Mr. Beveridge. The results indicate that the victorious faction was not so intensely interested in Mr. Beveridge’s welfare in Marion County as it was in building up its own organization. Mr. Beveridge and his favorite newspaper might do well to take counsel with that no small number who felt the pinch of the double X, and perhaps they might organize a mutual condolence society that would stand them in good stead if they face a similar exigency in the future. State Rights Invaded Attorney General Allen of the State of Massachusetts has declared that in his opinion the Sheppard Towner maternity law is unconstitutional, and he advises the Legislature to request the Supreme Court of the United States to pass upon its constitutionality. Mr. Allen bases his opinion upon the fact that this law unlawfully delegates police powers which rightly belong to the individual States. The tendency of recent legislation has been entirely to lose sight of the fact that the Government cannot remove "certain inalienable rights." The principles of the Constitution have been violated in numerous instances, sometimes deliberately, now and then through ignorance, and there have been unlawful delegations of police power. Attorney General Allen's position, therefore, is most encouraging, and may have the effect of curbing the amazing attempts that are being made either to circumvent constitutional law or to accomplish its change. It is contemplated by the Sheppard-Towner act that the States shall enact legislation accepting the provisions ofthe law and “cooperate" in making appropriation for its enforcement. It provides that plans adopted by the States must be submitted to a board representing the United States Government. Herein occurs the violation against which Massachusetts is the first to protest. The National Government cannot legislate for State governments and cannot authorize State Legislatures to delegate their powers to boards or bureaus. News items show that Indiana is attempting to cooperate in the administration of the Sheppard-Towner law without legislative enactment or any constitutional authority. That law attempts to authorize State bureaus, departments or certain State “divisions" to accept its provisions and proceed with its enforcement until the Legislature convenes. To an unprejudiced person this would certainly seem to indicate an unwarranted and dangerous invasion of State rights an congressional usurpation of State legislative powers.

Australia Aids Soldiers It is becoming increasingly difficult for the former service men to understand why the soldiers bonus bill is. as described in a news dispatch to the Daily Times from Washington, "between the devil and the deep bine sea with a strong wind blowing.” And this mystery- deepens when the fighters become acquainted with the assistance given their former "buddies” by the allied countries. Canada and Australia have not found it impossible to extend aid to their ’-epatriated soldiers, and while it must be admitted the number of veterans they had to deal with is not nearly as great as ours, yet neither have those countries the resources in wealth that we have. Proportionately the problem of recompensing soldiers in the United States should not be greater than in the dominion or the commonwealth. More than 90,000 men have enjoyed the benefits of the Australian bonus, readjusted compensation, call it what you may. Among the aids extended were the hospitalization of wounded and ill; the creation of service homes in each state Tor the care of soldiers’ families; loans up to SIO,OOO to Invidiual members of the A. I. F to build homes; the granting of land and the equipment of farms; pension to incapacitated fighters and their families; vocational training and transportation from venous parts of the world back to Australia.

Exclusive Story of Griffith’s Plans for Filming History of the World

BY JAMES W. DEAN. (Copyright, 1922). NEW YORK, May 10.—W. W. Griffith, Just returned from London, has given this writer the following details of his proposed film depicting the history of the world: H. G. Wells will head a “board of historians" . comprising the most noted Uvlng authorities on history. This board 'will have the final say In determining how. events of history are to be Interpreted. Work on the film will start within a year. It will consist of 190 or more reels told In installments of ten or twelve reels. The film will be a preachment against war. It will be exhibited In every-nation io the world. Scenes will be photographed in various parts of the world. Most of thinterfors will be made In America. Filming of the picture will extend over a period of several years. The cost will be In eight figures. Financial leaders of Great Britain have already pledged their support. Griffith Is now enlisting American capital in the project. One man here and one man in London are already engaged In preparing plans for the filming of the picture. These facts were related by Griffith in an exclusive interview. It Is the first detailed statement he has given for publication. Thia Interview bears out in every detail a forecast of Griffith’s plans made by this writer two weeks ago. * • "It's Just an idea, an idea that will be worked out if perseverance and earnestness can do it.” Griffith told me. “It is the idea that to think la to understand and with understanding there can be no wars. There are never violent disagreements In literary ciu'us or In any gathering of thinking persons. “The motion picture is the esperanfo of expression, it is. the one language the entire world understands. If Lloyd George or any of the great leaders at the Genoa conference today could make all the other delegatee understand clearly his viewpoint and his expression of ideals some great benefit might come -from the conference.

The force of their Ideas loses strength in translation. “The motion picture can be understood In Russia, the Orient, Germany, France, or in any country. It can he the means of making people think. There is a surprising number of people who do not nad. The people of America are cultured as compared to those of many European countries but even here many people read only what inter eats them, the sport pag. the dramatic column or some special feature.

It. will have to contain a romantic thomo to hold the attention, hut the romance w!H be only sufficient to make the beholder think about the historical and economic significance of the film. “When *he masses see that war Is an unnecessary thing there will tie no more wars. I have been critlcisefi for making some of my war films too brutal. They said 'Hearts of the World’ was too brutal But this film will be brutal, more brutal than anything I have yet made.” He had got up out of his chair by now.

They and the men of nil nations would plow their fields In peace all their lives if some few men who seek only glory for themselves would not arouse them to n false fervor in which they do not think for themselves. “They are aroused to this fervor by the picture of men going.

Thera Is no glory In war. “The glory of war goes only to a few leaders who rnn no personal danger. That has-been iho history of mankind. Every war has meant a great loss, paid by the masses. Whop the masses can be made to understand this, talk of the glory of war will fall on deaf cars. This film may not prevent nil wars of future generations, but if it is the means of stopping ouo war it will lie a workwell done. “Plans will be worked out. for the showing of the film in every nation. When war looms, let the Government, show just a few this film. Then war will not come.” * ♦ ■ The most noticeable characteristic of Griffith is his voice. Deep, resonant, il has the timber of an operatic basso's. There is self assurance in it and suggeton of the thing that is this man’s unabatlng passion tolerance.

Head, deep and high. Eyes, steady, bluish gray. Nose, long and highbridged, that of a quick thinker. A mouth wide and thin lipped, that of a generous, yet reticent man. A long face, wide above the ears and sloping rather sharply to a firm jaw, that of the highly Intellectual type, best exemplified in Woodrow Wilson, according to character analysts. Griffith, due to multitude of duties and personal attention to many details, is one of the most inaccessible of men to interview, but once reached is interviewed with great facility. This is due, to his quick perception. He often answers before a question is fully unfolded—uncanny intuition. -I- -I- -I----ON VIEW TODAY.

DAILY RADIO FEATURES

Loop Aerial-Puts Whole Radio Set Indoors

By B. L. DUNCAN, Director Radio Institute of America. Where an outdoor aerial cannot be erected, either on account of lack of facilities or a* disagreeable landlord, the radio enthusiast should use a loop antenna. This can be made easily and placed in a corner of a room or attic where it would be out of the way. Fairly good results are obtained by using this indoor form of antenna. The size of the loop aerial depends upon the location of the receiving station. its distance from the broadcasting station, etc. Don’t try to use a loop aerial with a crystal detector or single vacuum tube receiving set unless you are very near tlie transmitting station. At any distance away one should have at least a detector and two-steo amplifier. CONSTRUCTION. A good loop antenna for receiving wave lengths up to 600 meters is one about four feet square, using four turns <>f Litzendraht wire spaced one-fourth of an inch between each turn." These wires must not touch even though they be insulated. The frame of the loop may be constructed of two small pieces of wood crossed at the center. They should be a little more than 5Va feet long for the four-feet square loop. Since the loop has a directional effect in receiving, the frame should be mounted on a small wooden upright which can be held In place by a solid wooden base.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOOP AERIAL. This should be go constructed thit the loop may bo turned easily. To receive a desired station, the loop should be pointed toward that direction. Stations at right angles to the loop will not be heard unlcsg they are very near and use a great deal of power. NO GROUND. It should be noted that no ground is used. Due wire of the loop is connected in place of the ground lead. Since the loop aerials are inexpensive, it is suggested that the radio amateur try several different dimensions and RADIO PRIMER CASCADE AMPLIFICATION High amplification of received radio signals by means of a series of vacuum tubes whieh magnify Incoming signals in cascade fashion. That is, first one tube amplifies the signal, then the next amplifies this amplified signal and so on.

sizes. Experiment also with the grade of wire. The more turns, though, that you have, the higher the wave length received. Since most regenerative receivers are wound for not more than 700 meters. don''t load up your loop aerial with too many turns. To get better selectivity, use a variable condenser In shunt to the loop leads before they enter the primary of tha receiver. Government Control May Meaning Scrapping Half of Present Stations. The latest proposal of Government regulation of amateur radio may mean the scrapping of practically half the number of radio receiving sets now in use. The final report of the radio conference of the United Staes Department of Commerce. Includes a recommendation for Federal action which would cause all single-tuner circuits to be discarded as

Fig. 1. Single-Tuner Circuit. illegal. Bart of the report reads: ‘‘lt is recommended that the Secretary of Commerce, at his discretion, prohibit at any time the use of existing radio receiving apparatus which may cause the radiation of energy.” This applies to the single-tuner circuit receiving set. Another familiar name for this set is the oscillating circuit set. SINGLE TUNER. Such a set is constructed so that feeble radiations of continuous waves are emitted through the aerial while in the process of receiving. Such radiations may cause considerable local interference in the transmission of messages. An example of a single tuner circuit is shown in Figure 1. It may be noted that the detector tube, which oscillates while receiving, is directly connected to the aerial. Energy is transferred from the B battery through the secondary of the variocoupler, to the plate, then back through the grid into the aerial. The book-up of tbis form of set is:

G. O. P. TO STOP INVESTIGATION Leaders Rally to Shield Department of Justice. WASHINGTON, May 10.—Republican leaders in the House laid pjans today for balking passage of the pending resolution calling for an investigation of the conduct of the Department of Justice In war graft cases. From a reliable source it was learned that Floor Leader Mondell and other party leaders apparently working In close touch with the Administration hava decided to do everything they can to stave off the investigation. Taking at face value Attorney General Daugherty's statement that prosecu* tioris In fraud cases are soon to bg started they will vigorously oppose any attempt to bring the resolution befora the House for consideration, and if they fail in this, they will try to marshall enough votes to kill the resolution when It comes to a vote.
