CONTROLLER HOGUE seems to be desirous of seeing where the city's money goes. HI JOHNSON wants a prohibitive duty on foreign nuts. Rather hard on some of our visiting lecturers. AT THE time of going to press Chicago was leading New York by two robberies and three shootings. NOW THAT Mayor Shank has the county Republican organization In his control, the city council is seeing things in a different light. DEMOCRATS who are considering repeal of the primary law would do well to reflect that their party is a party of the people. POLITICIANS who “view with alarm” and “point w'ith pride” aie warming up for the State conventions by writing platform suggestions now. Senator Pomerene Is exhibiting a good faith in human nature when ho believes Congress will "put teeth” In the primary law on the eve of an all-important election. PERHAPS that Indianapolis man arrested tn Cincinnati for driving an automobile while he was under the influence of liquor had decided to give pedestrians here a little rest. The Street Car Situation Indianapolis seemp to be preparing itself slowly, but nevertheless surely, for increased street car fares, although the public, which pays the bills, will not view with general approbation any departure from the i dltional nickel street car ride, and this will be especially true since the I recent hike ordered in the gas and telephone rates. If the public service commission is called upon soon to determine a new fare, which seems altogether likely as the result of findings reported by a subcommittee of the general citizens committee appointed by Mayor Shank to investigate the company, It should go thoroughly into the matter. To do this properly, the commission should have a complete evaluation of | the street railway property In order to determine a fair basis of revenue kfor the amount invested. A It is said it would require considerable time to evaluate the company’s and that it would cost the company a tremendous sum of money, this’accounts for the absence of such a report now, although the company has been sending out distress signals for several years, Bind the public —if not the commission—has been aware that a petition ■for increased fare was sure to come. I Thomas P. Harvey, a member of the subcommittee, found that the Back of a proper evaluation prevented the committee from determining the Jex&ct income the company is entitled to. He showed that the “tentative” ■valuation is placed at between $14,000,000 and $16,000,000. A difference lof $2 ,000,000, on that basis, therefore, could not be definitely utilized, makf ing the determination of income more or less guesswork. The street car company has cleverly arranged to have the call for increased fares come from representatives of the people, and thus far its has worked without a hitch. First, Mayor Shank was converted to the plea that relief must be accorded the company, then the subcommittee agreed that a rate increase is imperative. The next test will come when the general citizens committee takes up the matter.

Women in Politics However much the average men may be inclined to disagree with the theory of a separate woman’s political party, as outlined in a recent issue of the Daily Times by Mrs. O. H. Beimont, president of the Woman's Party, he cannot escape the fact that women are thinking along independent political lines. Take the primaries in Indiana and Pennsylvania, for instance. When the sad news of Senator New's defeat was carried to Senator James Eli Watson, he said through his tears that the women had done it. When Governor Sproul of Pennsylvani areluctantly conceded Gifford Pinch ots nomination, he said the women were responsible. The women were not entirely responsible for these turnovers, but they were contributing factors. And it is likely that with these two examples fresh in their minds politicians bent on swinging voters into line will drop the atttude that women in politics must be tolerated because of their sex, and will look upon them as an integral and highly Intelligent portion of the electorate that is fully qualified to see through the shani3 and hypocrisies of campaign highbindery. Mrs. Belmont summed up the independent women's viewpoint when she said: “It is a mistaken idea that we mean to fight the men. We are not thinking of the men. We are thinking of the community. * • * We are not anxious for political position We will fight for office when we see the right woman is needed in the right place.’’ Denby Squelches the Senate Senators, seemingly afflicted with economic streaks only when ‘‘pork barrels’’ are not involved, made a sorry spectacle of themselves in opposing the use of a transport to carry the Naval Academy class of 1881 to Japan on the ground that it was a waste of coal when the fuel supply of the Navy is so short. Denby promptly showed that the ship on which the class will travel makes scheduled trips to the Orient and w’ould make the voyage whether the class was aboard or nott He also made it plain that he is going to make the trip himself and is doing it “at the request and with the approval of President Harding." The arrival of a ship load of Americans, many of them high in naval and business circles, in Japan cannot fail to create a favorable Impression in that country of the desire of the United States to maintain friendly relations between the two countries. Mr. Denby’s presence among the vistto. s will tend to lend an official color to the party that will bespeak the good will of the American Government. The Senators failed to sense the significance the visit will have upon international relations, but, fortunately, Japan is well acquainted with senatorial vociferations and doubtless will not take opposition to the use of a naval transport so seriously as to impair the welcome she is preparing for the voyagers. The Ship Subsidy Bill Action of the Republican platform advisory committee in recommending to the State convention the adoption of a plank indorsing the proposal ship subsidy bill, whereby the Government would donate more than fifty million dollars annually to ship owners, serves to call attention to what promises to become a campaign issue this fall. - One of the main props of the appeals to Congress to subsidize shipping is the declaration that the operating costs of American ships are much higher than those of foreign registry. But this is challenged by Andrew Furuseth, spokesman for the sailors and seamen, who declares that "the actual monthly wage cost of seamen upon a British ship is now 54 per cent higher than upon an American shipping board vessel of the same d* and tonnage.” He bases his contention on the fact that American sh?;s are now seriously undermanned, if the British sea standards are correct. On a small British cargo-carrier, which he cites as an example, ten sailors are carried, as against six on an American bottom of the same tonnage. Although wages on the American ship are a trifle higher, the total wage costs .on the British ship monthly are 9466, as compared with 9302 on the American vessel. -f 'a.

,Tom Patricola, on® of the funniest comedians in the show business, will be seen as the headliner of the bill that will be offered at B. F. Keith's next week. He will be assisted in bis act by Irene Delroy. 7*he act is known as “The G'ri and the Dancing Fool” and I’atricola certainly lives up to his reputation as a dancer by offering a routine of dancing steps that are original and funny. He is also a musician of no mean ability r.nd furnishes a line of comedy that is refreshing. Miss Delroy a beautiful and shapely young miss is a splendid foil for Fatricoia's foolery. She is easy to look at and can sing and dance. This is sure an ex-

PANNING PAYS ON BEAR CREEK Indiana University Students Find Gold and Diamond. BLOOMINGTON, May 19—Fanning pay dirt for gold along Bear Creek in the wildest recesses of Brown County is the recent experience of Indiana University geological students. The precious metal is to be found in several counties in Indiana, according ly Dr. W. N. Logan, State geologist and member of the university faculty, but there Is no distinct golil-beariug area. On their last expedition the students obtained $5 worth of gold, several garnets and a S4O diumond, it was announced. The gold, according to Logan, was brought into the State by glaciers and is found mostly in sand and gravel in depressions In bed rocks. Bear Creek has been worked for gold on various occasions, and it Is said John Marreison, an old-time miner, several years ago panned a dolla'’s warth of nuggets daily. MI S? BOARD NEWLYWEDS.

Transoceanic Radio Grown to Tremendous Business. By DAVID SARNOFF, General Manager Radio Corporation of America. The vnstness of the transoceanic radio today is little appreciated by the general public. A score of nations in Europe and Asia are in regular radio telegraph communication with America and mil lions of words are exchanged in a straight commercial message business operated day and night. A great network of high power stations is required to maintain the worldwide system of the Radio Corporation of America; powerful transmitters are located in Massachusetts, Long Island, New Jersey, California and Hawaii. South America, too, will soon be adequately provided for, and already America is conceded the foremost position 1n the matter us commercial radio corn municatlons. The correspondent stations abroad are located In the Important communication centers of Europe, Hawaii and in Japan. In the accomplishment of the reliable trans-ocean service which prevails today, radio telegraphy hus made some wonderful strides in technical development. The old-time "spark" stntion tins made way for a newer type, transmitting signals carried on a continuous wave through which speed nnd accuracy have been increased and interference reduced to a minimum. This great improvement Is largely due to the development of the Alexnnderson alternator, a radio fre queue.v machine which gives an output 1 of 20i) kilowatts, nnd which is produced by the General Electric Company. More than a dozen of these machines have bene Installed in American stations. Marked increase in the radiating of ficiency of these transmitting stations has come, too, through improved design and application of the mutlpie tuned an tenna. And of equal Importance Is the ; corresponding development of long-dis-tance reception, whereby messages nrt now automatically transferred from the j receiving station over land wires direct to a single office, Toente’d in the heart of New York’s firnneial district, there i too be recorded automatically at high speed In ink on paper tape nnd tranft- ; cribed on message blanks by operators. , By tills method, elimination of the i human relay at the receiving station has been effected, an obvious saving In time ■ and nn aid to accuracy. Os still more recent date is the new method devised by which two or more radio signals may I simultaneously be transferred to thej operating office over a single wire, ann 1 the concurrent development of devices j which make it possible to receive slg- | mils from four European stations on ; one receiving antenna without mutual i interference. Only a few "high spots” have been touched in the foregoing reference to the radio system existing at the present day; it includes, of course, a commercial organization represented In principal cities by branch offices, and a messenge* service adequate to take care of message traffic—a traffic which has grown within the last two years to something more than 20 per cent of the total business handled by seventeen enbles con> nectlng the old world with the new. Another article on the radio of today and tomorrow by David Sarnoff will appear In a forthcoming Issue of the Times.

RADIO DIRECTS SUMMER TOURING

TOrniNO eAlt eqcifped with radio RECEIVING SET.

Motorists who go on summer touring trips may take the pleasures of the city with them —by radio. Radio, with its power to travel everywhere, will make it possible for concerts broadcast from the larger cities to be heard in the open country. While the motorist is driving along the highway he can "tune in” and listen to the program sent out from the city. Fishing trip# will not, be without their radio parties, and camping grounds for motor tourists will be popular centers ; for Burh entertainments. All that is needed is an aerial along the top of the automobile and a receiving set behind the front seat. White the ! car is moving the same radio program can be heard without the necessity of changing the instruments as the automobile advances. Radio also is going to help motorists along the right roads to their destlna--1 tlons. An instrument has already been j invented by which no driver using it , could lose his way. This instrument, placed on the radlai tor cap. with wires leading to the dash- | board, is designed to catch signals transmitted through telegraph wires along the ' road. Each mad would have its Qwn I code signal. Reference to a code book would tell the driver where be Is. Even detours are provided for in this system. Motorists are warned of such turns before they reach these points.

England Affected by Same Craze Which Hit America. LONDON, May 19.—England la catching the radio craze. The I-ondon newspapers are now printing long columns of matter extracted from the American press outlining the rapid advances which have been made in the use of the radio-telephone in the United States. The British press is urging that developments be made along the same lines In England. One radio concert has been given In London in the last two months, and it caused a mild sensation, but despite the urging* of the press the British people do not seem to be rapidly absorbing the radio enthusiasm of the Americans.

Counterpoise in Place of Ground Allows Sharper Tuning

By R. L. DUNCAN, Director, Radio Institute of America. The counterpoise or artificial ground is a useful addition to a radio receiving station, and is simple in its construction. Don't try to use it with a crystal receiver unless near the transmitting station. But with a vacuum tube detetcer and amplifying set, the counterpoise lends sharpness in tuning and greatly eliminates interference, although it cuts down the strength of the incoming signals a little. In using a counterpoise, no ground connection is made to the receiving set —the counterpoise antenna taking its place. On aircraft and in places where the ground has poor conductivity, this counterpoise antenna must be used. This is merely another antenna supported above the earth and insulated from it. The station apparatus is connected to the regular antenna and the counterpoise, instead of to the regular antenna and earth. On an airplane the counterpoise is furnished by the metal wires of the framework, the engine, and metallzed wings. The antenna may consist of a long wire which trails behind the plane when in Bight often below the counterpoise. But the action is not different from the ordinary antenna and counterpoise systems. Where an outdoor antenna is nsed in the country, the counterpoise should best be located directly under the aerial. It should he strung -Qn small wooden posts arranged so that the wire does not touch the ground. The wire should be of the same kind as that nsed in the aerial. To de'ermine the amount of wire and

length of the counterpoise, each operator will have to experiment with his own problem, inasmuch as it all depends upon the size, length and number of wires in the aerial. Be sure to keep the lead-in wire from the aerial and the counterpoise well apart, to do away with losses caused by induction. In the city where the aerial is placed on top of an apartment house, it will probably be impossible to erect a counterpoise. If at al] possible, however, every transmitting station should use this counterpoise, for it increases radiation and transmitting distance. RADIO PRIMER GRID —A piece of wire bent in zig-zag form, or as a helix surrounding the filament of the radio vacuum tube. It controls the current passing between the filament and the plate of the vacuum tube. The incoming radio waves are led to the grid, where they serve to control the flow of electrons from the filament. College Editors May Install Radio for Transmitting Big Ten News.
