ENGLAND STARTS PLAN TO REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT Government Makes Effort to Prevent Repetition of Suffering. SOME IMPROVEMENT NOTED Minister of Labor Outlines Policy to Be Followed in Relief Work. By United financial LONDON, Aug. 16. —England has declared war on unemployment. The government is making herculean efforts to prevent a reltition of last winter’s widespread distress and suffering. Improvement In the situation has been noticeable since the beginning of the present year, but it has been painfully slow. The magnitude of the task can be realized by the official figures: Unemployed men—1,142,700. Unemployed women—ls3,ooo. Unemployed boys and girls—73.6oo. T0ta1—1,369,300. In addition to these there are 85,300 short time workers. The ; Right Hon. T. J. MacNamara, minister of labor, outlining the governments offensive in a signed article says: Sanction Huge Credits “The main objective must be to get trade going again upon an economic basis, so that people may return to mill, factory, workshop and mine, to the work to which they have been trained and accustomed. With the view to stimulating trade along nor- ' lines we have sanctioned credits • 16.000,000 pounds under the ex--1 export credits scheme, in order exporters may again secure the so eign trade which the ravages of war lost to them. We have also guaranteed loans to the extent of 17.000,000 pounds for large capital undertakings. "Our second main objective throughout this long period of depression has been to see whether industrial operations of the country could not be found for those who. through no fault of their own. have been thrown upon the evil days of unemployment.’’ Dr. MacNamara states the extent of this relief has included toe disbursement of 60,000.000 pounds by the official guardians of the poor in addition to many large local refunds of a voluntary character. lIEIV HOTEL WILL COSTSUSUI Builder Petitions Change in City Zone Plan to Allow TenStory Building. The city plan commission today has under consideration a plea of George J. Marott asking that building restrictions on Meridian St. at Fall Creek Blvd. north drive, contained in the tentative draft of the city plan, be changed to permit him to erect a ten-story family hotel costing $1,500,000. It would cover an entire block, Marott said. The commission tentatively restricted heights at this point to fifty feet. Marott’s hotel mould be approximately 125 feet high. Several minor changes In the tentative plans were made. Informal public hearings will be held upon the plan and zoning ordinance at 10 o’clock the morning of Sept. 12 in the council chamber.

JUVENILE WOODSMEN TESTING THEIR RADIO SET

By SF.A Service CULVER, Ind., Aug. 16. I*ads of today who play at being woodsmen have adopted radio and are learning the code for wireless communication. In the Culver School of Woodcraft, where 350 boys of 10 to 14 are devoting their summer to the study of woodcraft and the lessons of field and stream, radio is an important feature. They have literally stampeded their three instructors in their zeal to keep apace with Marconi. When the baseball diamond is deserted and the swimming pier is quiet, a crowd can always be found around the radio shack, an old-time one-room log cabin squatting in the midst of the woodcrafters' tented camp. Or toward evening, small groups of boys may be seen tuning up their own sets et up beside their "pup tents.” Five classes in the elementary

Static Electricity Baffles All Attempts Toward Elimination

By PAUL F. GOBLET. America’s Foremost Radio Authority. Since the inception of radio all kinds of devices have been tried out in an effort to eliminate the great bugaboo, static. Years ago eliminators were being carried around the country in little black boxes. These were operated in a mysterious manner. Sometimes they worked. More often they didn't. The first real step forward was taken by R. A. Weagant, an American engineer, during 1917 and 1918. At the expense of considerable time and money, Weagant erected experimental antennae along the Atlantic coast. Some of these were six miles long. With these aerials, the engineer was able to get a remarkable elimination of static—at times. There is no doubt that his system did cut down static to a degree. But It did not always work. Unlike its forerunners, it could not be put in a "little black box.” But it was coated in a theory, which Weagant termed anew law of nature. He said that static was propagated in vertical directions, while radio signals were propagated horizontally. Activity stirred up among radio engineers by these disclosures soon developed many flaws In Weagant's theories. But it did more than this. It stimulated such great interest in this greatest of radio problems, tliat It could soon be said with certainty that static was not in any gre.it degree propagated in vertical directions. Like the radio signal, it traveled in the main, horizontally. It was also learned that the greatest natural disturbances came from certain directions almost always. Our greatest American source is in the Gulf of Mexico and northern South America. The greatest source

principles of radio are held daily in the open air outside the radio shack. Woodcrafters learn the general service code of the Boy Scouts Manual ; and considerable technical matter, i They get a good taste of the science : in learning how to receive and send and in taking care of an outfit. As pupils advance they are scheduled for special instruction in the radio shack. There they get their hands on apparatus in actual operation and in contact with the biggest broadcasting stations In the land and overseas. Some progress until they are fitted to take the examination for an amateur's license. The woodcraft station at Culver is 9NY. It is located on the campus of Culver Military Academy, on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee in northern Indiana, and is one of five stations on tiie academy property.

HILL PAI DEXTER RECOUNT CISTS

Negro Leaders to Raise $2,000 —‘Permit’ All Colored Voters to Giye to Fund. Colored leaders are forming an organization to raise $2,000 with which to pay the election recount debt of Thomas M. Dexter, negro. Republican •'.'■ndidate for the Legislature from Marion County, William H. .Jackson, negro politician, said today. "Negroes realize what Dexter’s election would mean in advancement of the race, and it Is the intention to permit colored citizens from all parts of the State to participate in the fund,” Jackson said. Dexter unsuccessfully contested the primary election with Ralph Updike, a white candidate, but was put on the ticket in place of the late Henry Abrams. Republican county leaders are debating over whether the debt of several thousand dollars left from the mat campaign shall he assumed. The debt was left by the Jewett-Roemler-Lomcke organization overthrown by the Shank crew in the municipal elections last year and the county primary this spring.

Twelve Fires Break Out at Once in Oklaho?na Farmer's Home

Waggoner, farmer, living two New Gushing Geyser Passes ‘Old Faithful Tty United \ncs YELLOWSTONE. Wyo., Aug. 16. With a prodigious cough, on the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Yellowstone Park as a national playground, anew geyser spouted into the air from an old mud-hole, shooting higher than Old Faithful and smashing all prev.ous records for altitude. H. M. Albright, superintendent of the park, took a look at the newcomer to the wonders of the place and decided to call it the semi-centennial. The new geyser is near roaring mountain. Its first eruption threw mud and stone 300 feet in the air. The mud-hole had been tranquil for many years. A TRUE RAT STORY Stearns Electric Taste Cos., Chicago. Dear Sirs: Mr. Robert T.
