How to Use Radio and Not Abuse It

WASHINGTON.— -The RadioHow to Use It and Not Abuse It," was the subject of a 12-minute sermon Pres Idem Coolidge preached to 600 representative men of the radio industry out on the White House lawn. The preacher's firstly to fifthly Inclusive were these sentences: « No Monopoly—The administration Insists that no monopoly should be allowed to arise, and that to prevent it the control of the channels through the ether, should remain as much in the hands of the government, and therefore of the people, ar. the control of navigation upon our waters. Perils—Liberty is not license, and in thia new instrument there is opportunity for greater license even than in .he use of printl for radio reaches directly to our children. Central Authority—Here is an industry which must have Its traffic rules provided and enforced by some <*entral authority. During this period of Intensive development, the administration has had the fine co-operation of the Industry itself tn the creation and maintenance of these rules.

Some Facts About Women in Business

THE last decade has seen the industrial problems of women become more conspicuous thnn ever before. During the World war. when the. necessity of replacing the labor of men by that of women became obvious, many adverse < were met and endured, and women achieved a deserved recognition sk|>o tent factors in the industrial world. Since thatjlme has passed It seems likely that women will, to some extent, continue to pursue the occupations which they then undertook. al any rale, that they will not lose the recognition gained during the war of their Importance to Industry. Their full Importance, however, cannot tie known unless certain questions are first answered: How many women are at work In the United States ..nd In Its territorial possessions? Where do they work? What do thev do? Has their number increased oi decreased during the last few years? The replies to many of these questions are to be found In several bulletins on occupation statistics that have re-

Important Cases in the Supreme Cotfrt

THE Supreme court has begun Its new term extending into next June, facing an accumulation of 700 cases, or 115 more than it found on reconvening a year ago. When the last term adjourned the court had under advisement 27 cases, fully submitted and ready for decision. In these opinions may be expected during the new term. Questions arising out of recent congressional investigations promise to occupy the center of the stage. Another phase of the controverted power of congress to delve into the accounts of business concerns is before the court In three cases in which the federal trade commission, acting under a resolution of the senate, sought to compel Baltimore grain houses to furnish data. In the Claire Furnace case the court will determine to wha» extent manufacturers and others can be compelled to make reports which would disclose their business secrets. An Important case involving congressional authority probably will reach the court in the appeal of the proceedings instituted against Harry

The Big Lesson—Development of this new advance in our civilization la a fresh evidence that the genius for progress has not left the American people, and that our citizens will conduct their own business in away best calculated to promote public welfare. The Goal—The goal we desire to reach is an opportunity for every one to have access to radio communication without limitation. To secure this, rules and regulations are necessary. Otherwise there would be such confusion that there would never be any certainty of service. His keynote was no government control of radio programs, for that he declared, would not be consistent with American institutions. But there was peril of the transmission of malice and slander In using this new medium —a double injury •‘because those wronged can have no opportunity to reply.Diffusion of corrupting literature was another possible ncril; another double peril, because while parents can excludf fomipt printed matter from the home the radio could curry it right into the ears of the children.

Increases occurred in the number of women who were clerks in offices, stenographers and typists, bookkeepers and cashiers, teachers, saleswom en. telephone operators, frained nurses and clerks in stores. Deceases occurred in the number recorded as farm laborers, cooks, general servants, laundresses dressmakers and seamstresses (not in factory), and milliners and millinery dealers. The most striking increase shown for women in any Industrial group is that for operatives in automobile sac lories; among whom there has been an increase of 1.408 per cent, while men operatives in these factories In creased only 435.4 per cent Contrary to general impression, however. women seem not to have gone into absolutely new occupations to any great extent. They have enlarged tbeir field of work, however, by entering in greater numbers occupations in which formerly they had but scant representation.

Figures on Denver’s Divorce Business

DENVER. —Approximately $200,000 has been spent on divorces in Denver during the last 21 months, conservative estimates from figures furnished by local attorneys show. *ln 19*23 the cost of approximately 1,000 divorces granted in the Denver district and county courts passed the SIIB,OOO mark. During the first nine months of 1924, the cost of severing the marital bonds of approximately 1,000 couples In Denver was more than $78,000. This means that evary five years the expense of marriage dissolution in Denver amounts to approximate!/ $500,000. During the 21 months ending September 30 approximately 6.000 marriage licenses .were issued at $2.50 each, or a total of $15,000. The cost of getting divorces in Denver is considered “moderate.’* The average expense of noncontested suits, or the cost of obtaining a preliminary decree in actions that are not contested, as near as can be arrived at, is about $105.50. This amount Includes a filing fee of $7.50, collected by the clerk of the

Not Painted Ships on a Painted Ocean

Highland light, mass.— The anemometer box «»n the window sill showed a scant three miles, which is no wind nt all for the tip end of Cape Cod—not even a zephyr. Outside the window rose the quadrupled steel frames of the giant aerials by which Uncle Sam talks paternally to his ships walking to and from upon the seas. Just beyond them—crane your neck a bit to see—was the round, white tower of Highland light, whose flashes light the clouds at night for 40 miles. Grassy land a few feet beyond the aerials, then a Jumping-off place. 140 feet deep, so sheer that in places- the top of the sandy cliff overhangs the beach below. And then—the sea!

Contested suits involve an average expense of $330.50, it is estimated.
