WORLD'S RADIO PARLEY OPENS IN WASHINGTON Questions Vital to Future of! Industry Are on Week’s Program. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. The most important radio meeting ever called will assemble here today, with delegates from more than fifty nations in attendance. With'the United States as host, the delegates will seek to draft a new international radio convention governing the ipany international aspects of the fast growing industry. Secretary of Commerce Hoover and Admiral Bullard, chairman of the United States radio commission are expected to take a leading part in proposing and negotiating the new rules of the air. Debate on Wave Length One of the most important questions tfo this country is involved in an attempt to obtain use of ten new wave lengths for broadcasters, whose numbers literally have clogged many airplanes already. The American delegation expects to propose that the S. O. S. ship emaggency call wave-length be at 700-meter frequency, instead of 600. This will provide ten additional frequencies for broadcasting in this country, and, of course, the same number in other continents. The program includes a discussion of plans for international supervision, communication between stations, broadcasting, handling of press messages and other commercial operations, radio telephony, measures to eliminate interference, distress messages, radio aids to sea and air navigation, and other new uses of the radio. Weather Reports Up Another important subject is radio exchange of weather reports, standardization of wave-lengths and languages to be used being necessary if this activity is to reach full usefulness. Differences are expected especially in measures to regulate operation, as this country has left commercial radio almost entirely in the hands of private companies, while some foreign governments have made radio an official monopoly. Censorship also may be discussed, but diverging views probably will prevent any definite rules being made in this regard. Besides Hoover and Bullard, the American delegation of sixteen includes Senators Watson, Indiana, Republican; and Smith, Democrat, South Carolina; Rep. Whites Republican, Maine, and John Hays Hammond Jr. .

You Pay No more, no less... but ' Quaker Oats has the " flavor fiSMai

THE difference in breakfast oats is in their flavor. The price mostly is the same. Millions demand the Quaker brand because of its toasty 1 , wonderful flavor. For flavor is the important point in food. Some SO years were spent perfecting that famous Quaker flavor. Once you taste it, you are spoiled for ordinary oats. Quaker milling, to<£ retains much tof the “build* of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed.

Seven times after that, she had told her great-granddaughters here, she stood upon the auction block and passed into the ownership of other plantation owners in Misrouri. Not until the Emancipator’s proclamation was she freed from ‘this bondage. Despitte the fact that most of her 101 years were spent at hard labor, Mrs. Broadwaters retained fairly good health until about a year ago.

BY ELDORA FIELD “Look out below,” sang a man poised, except for a few inches of steel girder to which he clung, absolutely in thin air. A tiny wry smile crossed his face, for he hates to miss a catch. His muscles are braced and taut. This time he gets it. The red-hot rivet hurtles through the air and is caught in the funnel he holds low. Seized with a pair of tongs, it is thrust into a hole in the steel girder and receives hundred-pound blows from an electric hammer, operated by another man. The bolt cools and becomes an integral part of a Virginia avenue structure, now rising. Life and activity are surging here, high above passersby at this corner. The danger—walking on narrow girders, clinging with arms and legs to the steel—is taken as a matter of course, just a part of the day’s work. That weary muscles, the slip of a PRESBYTERIANS MEET Indiana Synod Convenes at Lafayette. f Bu Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 4.—The Indiana Presbyterian synod is in annual session here today with a synodical conference on evangelism, conducted by Rev.

tired arm or leg on the part of any one of these workers, would send him hurtling far to the ground seems to be only in the onlookers' thoughts. The men sing and whistle and step lightly and surely about. “Dangerous?” I called to a workman. He raised an eyebrow and without answering, hitched to what looked like instant destruction. Then nonchalantly he righted himself, and curved severly and safely into the embrace of steel coils and girders. Cinders, concrete, steel—a chaos of these—and only the brain of men to guide a bundle of one, a wedge of another, a load of a third, and, with these multiplied, bring into a place where men can work and plan and live. A miracle after all, is a modern steel enforced building. “Do you ever have accidents?” I asked the superintendent. “You’re bound to think this dangerous—this construction work,” he smiled, but there was a serious look in his eyes. “Well, it’s that in a way, but the people crossing the street over there —see, where the autos are trying to get everywhere all the same timeare really in quite as much danger.”

Three Times as Many Now in City High Schools as in 1914. Indianapolis pupils , are not dropping out of school in the lower grades, as was the complaint a few years ago. Instead, three times as many pupils as in 1914 are enrolled in high schools here today, whereas the average increase for both elementary and high schools since that year has been only 50 per cent. These figures were developed by school officials in preparing charts for taxation purposes. Hearing on the school budget and tax levy has been set by the State tax board for Tuesday morning. Enrollment Much Higher In 1913, the total amount spent for items comparable from year to year was $1,577,216. This includes such expenses as administration, operation, fined charges and co-or-dinate action, but does not include capital outlay for hi’w buildings and debt service, such as interest and principal on bond issues. In 1914, when the purchasing power of the dollar began dropping, enrollment of elementary and high schools was 36,746. For the year ended June 30. 1927, enrollment was 55,725.

In discussion of comparable expenses, it must be taken into account that it does not cost as much to conduct school for a child in grades one to six as it does in grades seven and eight or in high school. Relation of costs is set out as follows: For each dollar bf cost In educating a child in the first six grades, the cost dn the seventh and eighth grades is $1.65 and in high school $2.18. Grade Increase Lags There has been a total enrollment increase of approximately 50 per cent since 1914. Increase in grades one to six has been only 26 per cent, that in grades seven and eight 76 per cent, and in high schools 300 per cent. Comparison arising between enrollment and cost must take these comparative increases into consideration. Thus, in cost units, the present enrollment is more than 100 per cent more than the enrollment in 1913. This increase in anrollment, on the basis of 1914, increases expenses $1,107,729, if the purchasing power of the dollar remained as great as in 1914 without spending any more per child. If there is added to this the increased cost to loss of purchasing power the dollar at its present index, $2,014,701, a total expense for 1927 would be only $99,200 greater than the value of the expenditure in 1914.

COOLIDOE LAUDS RED CROSS FOR WORKINFLOOD Health of Refugees Guarded; Lessons of Sanitation Not Forgotten. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Less than half a dozen persons lo6t their lives in the Mississippi flood after the Red Cross relief took hold, President Coolidge told the annual meeting of the American Red Cross in a speech here laSt night. "The health of the refugees was so well guarded that there wera more births than deaths in the conn centration camps," President Coolidge declared in a review of Red Cross activities. “A recent medical survey showed that generally speaking disease is less prevalent in the affected now than in previous years. Blessing in Disguise “This affliction may have proved a blessing in disguise. “Undoubtedly, the people hav® learned lessons of sanitation and health which will not be forgotten The lands have been enriched by the deposits of the river mud, and

many of the farmers, supplies with a better qualitv of seeds than uspfl before, have been astonished by th® size of the crops they have been able .to grow since the waters subsided. “New buildings are better then the old. These advantages will remain. And, finally, we propose to solve the problem of flood control m such a situation may never again have to be met. In the solution we will advance our system of inland waterways.” Praises Relief Work President Coolidge pointed out that $17,000,000 was raised for flood relief work, in addition to services of the Federal Government valued at about $7,000,000. “The story is one of the fine chapters in American history." he said. The President also reviewed other relief work of the year in which ha said $8,216,893 was expended in relieving about 690,000 people as a result of seventy-seven domestic disasters and $343,000 for twenty dis-i ferent disaster abroad. In the domestic sum only about $3,000,000 Is included because that was all expended by the end of the Red Cross fiscal year June 30.
