Radio Is to Be Keystone of Campaigns

NNT T ASHINGTON. — Radio hag \ Y J developed into the keystone VV of the political campaigns. Indications now are that around $1,000,000 will be spent by the three major tickets—Republican. Democratic and LaFoliette •’independent” —in sending their doctrines through the air, into the homes of farmers and city dwellers. Managers for each of the three tickets are concentrating on radio plans and at almost every conference to devise plans for the campaign the first subject taken up Is radio. The expense is a matter that is coming In ‘for deep consideration, but In almost every instance the decision seems to be that the results to be obtained—if as great as expected—will more than justify the expense. « On the expense side there are two angles, however. The Republican national committee is understood to have paid a sizeable sum—more than $25,000, some reports say—to have s he proceedings of Its Cleveland convention broadcast by a certain radio con-

< <<r rhe Fighting Third” Being Reorganized

ALL the reg’ll ar army is Interested in the government's reorganizing of “The Fighting Third” now at San Pedro. Calif. Reconstituted as the Third coast artillery, the Third regiment of artillery, historically famous fighting unit of the United States army which first saw service, July 1, 1794. recently reopened its history at Fort MacArthur, near San Pedro, under the commanrf of Maj. George Ruhlen. Jr. Battle ribbons won on home and foreign fields during the last Ilk) years fluttered from the color standards as “The Fighting Third” was ceremoniously reconstituted at the fort. The Third regiment of artillery came into being following the Revolutionary war. It was recruited among the veterans of that war for service against the Indians In the conquest of the West. It first became prominent among fighting units on February 22-23. 1847, at the battle of Buena Vista. Gen. Santa Ana. commanding the Mexican forces, had swept all American resistance before him. Without Infantry to support hhn, and at the expense of losing Ids own guns. Captain Bragg, then commanding “The Fighting Third,” brought his troops Into action with a withering charge of canister. The first charge halted the Mexican advance. The smoke from the second and third salvos cleared away with

National Police Bureau at the Capital

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE "has let It be known he favors a federal police bureau located in Washington to co-operate with the police departments of the various states and cities, and with foreign nations. Richard E. Enright, commissioner of police of New York city, discussed the proposition with tbe President, and said afterward that the President approves of the general plan. i Several bills were Introduced during “the last session of congress authorizing tbe creation of a federal police ‘bureau, but they failed to be acted upon before adjournment. These bills were explained to the President by Commissioner Enright, who said afterward that at the next session they will be combined into one and the strength of their advocates will then be centralized. • Commissioner Enright pointed out to the President that the business of preventing and detecting crime through-

Famous Capitol Paintings Get a Bath

has been made that j “a soap and bucket brigade Is j scrubbing the paint off the eight historic canvases In the rotunda of the capitol” in Washington. These paintings are being freshened up. and the office of David Lynn, architect of the capitol, Is not disturbed by the complaint. Four of the great paintings in the ■ rotunda, which rarely fail to attract the attention of thousands of tourists .who swarm dally through the building. are by John TrumbuiL They are “Signing the Declaration of Independence.’' “Surrender of General Burgoyne." “Surrender of CorawalihT and “Washington Resigning His Commission.” The others are: “Embarkation of the Pilgrims.” by Robert W. Weir; “Landing of Columbus," by John Vanderlyn: "Discovery of the Mississippi," by William H. Powell, and the “Baptism of Pocahontas,” by John G. Chapman. John Trumbull was a native of Connecticut (1756-1843), a history and genre painter. He served to the War

Unde Sam Likes His Middies Husky

IT IS doubtful that any body of yoirths ever were the recipients of such thorough and scientific physical and athletic training as that which is now being given to the 200 midshipmen who compose the new class at the Naval academy. The system under normal conditions is as complete and efficacious as could be designed. but the midshipmen of the present class are getting an intensive training, due to the fact'that an organization farmed to eare far a regular class, about 000, is being concentrated on one-fourth of that number. The new ciass at the Naval academy is the smallest fa years, due to the cutting down of the number of appointments allowed each congressman. This fact, fa addition to certain developments and improvements put into effect for the first time, gives the. members of this year's fourth class its unusual opportunity. Upon entering the academy the midshipman la given immediately a complete strength test, by which the capabilities of each march er act of mne-

The value of radio In politics at that time was not rated particularly high. It was something new. The broadcasting concerns were not anxious to go Into the Republican convention unless, well paid. Rut Lowden’s nomination and refusal brought an unusual situation, and. every radio fan from farm to city apartments became Interested In the convention —and, through it, in politics. And so, when the Democratic convention came along, there was a new situation. Instead of the Democratic national committee begging broadcasting companies to handle Its convention at a decided profit, the broadcasting companies were bidding against eoch other for the privilege of handling ths convention. The radio companies, hearing the rumblings of plans of all candidates to use It extensively, are inclined to think that it will interfere too much with their usual programs. So they have requested LaFoliette, Coolidge and Davis managers to limit political speeches to 15 minutes each.

the Mexicans in rout. Thus the regiment won its present motto, “Saved the Day,” which was conferred upon it by Gen. Zachary Taylor, following the engagement. Through the War of 1812 and In the Florida peninsula campaigns the regiment served the colors creditably. On December 21, 1853. five batteries of the Third artillery embarked from the east coast for station In California, via Cape Horn, aboard the steamer San Francisco. Os the 600 sogl.*aboard, 500 were men of the Third. On the day before Christmas the San Francisco struck a nor’wester that completely disabled her, and 175 men were lost overboard. A week later assistance was rendered the derelict by the American British sloop of war Antarctic,., which vessel carried 142 survivors to Liverpool, the first American troops to land in England. After a year’s trials and misfortune* the Third was again assembled and arrived in California, where It was actively engaged in marching and scouting until the outbreak of the Civil war, when its history was marked with distinction. It served at the memorable capture of Manila, P. 1.. In the Spanish-Ameri-can war. and was broken up into separate companies in 1901. Parts of th* famous Third saw action on all the fronts of France during the World war.

out this country as well as the criminal investigation work of the federal government could be greatly benefited by such a bureau. It could serve aa a clearing house for detective work. There is already established In the Department of Justice the division ot identification for collection of fingerprints from peace officials all over the country and for interchange of information leading to the speedier identification of criminals everywhere, both at home ant abroad. Congress to eluded $56,000 in the departmental appropriation bill for the project for thi* year, but there is no substantive law behind it yet. The present organization has about 1,000,000 records, combining the De part inent of Justice papers from Fori Leavenworth and the bureau operated • at Washington for years by the International Association of Chiefs of Po lice. It functions as a division of- the bureau of investigation.

of Independence: in 1775 he was aid* de camp to Washington and the follow ing year deputy adjutant general un der Gates. John Vanderlyn, besides painting the “Landing of Columbus." which fit* a large wall panel In the rotunda, alsc painted the fuil-length portrait ot Washington in the house chamber. H« was a native of Kingston, N. Y., The "Embarkation of the Pilgrims’ by Robert W. Weir has received the admiration of art students from all over the world. Weir was born to New Rochelle. N. Y. He was a pupil ot Jarvis, studied at Florence, Italy, under Bemenuti, and also in Rome. John G. Chapman, who painted the “Baptism of Pocahontas," which, according en the complaint, has suffered most in the clean-up process, was almost a Washingtonian, having been to Alexandria, Ya. He was paid JIO.OOC for that painting. The large paintings for tbe panel* to the rotunda were completed, with a single exception, before the commencement of the capitol extension.

des is shown. Photostats midshipman from the front, rear and side are taken, and if there is any de fact in posture means are taken tc correct them. Naturally/tbe regular drills, Infan try and boats under oars, do much to improve the physique and stamina of the new midshipmen. The rowing is a specially beneficial part of the sum mer training, but it has been found that, in some cases, the regular exer rises must be supplemented. Obviously, youths training for the naval service must be good swimmers. Some time during the summer he must be able to swim 320 feet in four and a half minutes and exhibit his ability to use four different swimming strokes. The Naval academy developed a unique system of athletic instruction by which each midshipman to trained in every usual branch of athletics, ao that he shall be a capable instructor or manager if needed on shipboard or at a station. Many institutions, including the Military academy, practically have adopted this system.

f Building Trees Are Necessary for “Home Beautiful” No lengthy explanation Is needed to back up the assertion that surroundings are an Important factor in creating “the home beautiful.” Well-kept lawns, properly-selected shrubbery and certain varieties of trees add an Incalculable value to the appearance of any home that is more than four walls occupying the entire lot. The following advice Uy the American Tree association: “First, there Is the consideration of the kind of soil in which the tree must grow, the climate, and the kind of tree that will thrive. Thought must be given to the location of the tree, the space it will have in which to develop, and the variety that grows best in the vicinity. It is well, also, » consider whether it Is not better to plant trees ■of long life, such as the oak or sycamore, instead of trees like the silver ,manle or the poplar that mature after ,a short span of life. Whatever the ■ choice of the tree, It is deserving of careful thought. f “It may be that in nearby wooded 1 sections there are many young trees, saplings or evergreens, the association I points out in urging you to send for a j free tree-planting folder. This, of | course, makes an easy source of supply with the advantage of obtaining trees that live well in the vicinity. Experience shows that it is often more satisfactory to buy nursery trees specially raised for transplanting. As a piece of general advice it might be said that evergreens of five feet in height and deciduous trees up to twelve feet, raised in a nursery, will give the best results. “The roots must not be bruised or 1 allowed to dry. and moist earth should be kept around them until just before j they are put in the ground. This is extremely Important.” Landscaping Both Diversion and Art Landscaping one's home place—“be it never so humble” —is a real sport, full of healthful enjoyment and diversion, and, at the sameYime. an art full ! of creative possibilities, writes W. P. t Kirkwood, University of Minnesota. Moreover, it is a game that can be played at indefinitely by an individual.: by husband and wife, or by the whole family. It offers from year to year i trying out of new combinations or ar-' rangements and the Improvement of; t old. It is a game without end. It costs | money—much or little, as one chooses | —but it pays. It is a game with rules, too; but i they are not hampering rules. However, one rule to be more or less rigidly adhered to, is this: “Never set a ! 1 plant, tree or shrub, or place a lawn ! ornament without a reason for it.” 1 That Is a rule laid down by the late Leroy Cady, who was for years in ! charge of the landscaping of the colI lege of agriculture of the University of Minnesota, between St. Paul and Minneapolis. Mr. Cady’s advice to beginners was: “First know the shrubs to be used; 1 learn their height, color and season of flowering. Then choose those you like best, and use for a special purpose, either as a screen or to frame a view,; or for. its beauty of foliage, flower or fruit.” . Tree Planting As a general rule, it would be safe to say that all trees except evergreefis I can be planted at any time during the i period between their going to sleep in i the fall and the awakening in the j spring and when the ground is not 1 frozen. In the northern states, the early spring is the best time for the ! Inexperienced planter. Evergreens can ! be put into the ground in the late spring and during the latter part of . August and the first of September. A cool and cloudy day is the best for planting. In preparing the hole for the tre« It should be made large enough hold the roots extended I normally. It should be deep enough | for a six-inch layer of good loam t>e- , fore the roots are put in. Home Ownership Urged I I “More than half the homes in the United States are owned by men who make lees than ?2.000 a year,” says W. D. Carter, retiring president of the New York State League of Savings and Loan associationa. “It is estimated that approximately 90 per cent of those who build or buy a home do not pay for It outright at tbe start. “Habits of thrift, economy and selfdenial established and practiced in saving to meet the monthly payments by which the home is paid for are among the greatest benefits of owning a home.” Don’t Neglect Painting The slogan of the paint manufacturers of "Save the surface and you save all” is an important truth. Paint not only adds to the beauty, and value of the home, but its neglectjs a mighty costly one to the home owner. The first coat of paint should be heavy In linseed oil, which allots It to sink into the acting as a preservative and a binder for the second coat. Pure lead and linseed oil Is the best mixture, with possibly a small amount of zinc. Tree for Open Lawns For street planting the Norway pine Is too dense in foliage to be desirable, says the American Tree associatldh of Washington, which invites you to join the tree-planting army and send for tree-planting suggestions. The Norway maple Is a low-headed tree, and when the attempt Is made to get the branch high much of the beauty of tbe tree is destroyed. It is one of she handsomest for open-lawns.
