Here's a hunch, rIHn?by the* time a youtiK man is ready I' nettle down an' Ht married, he's thro' with prunes fer life. Harding men in Ohio are said to be all for Coolidge. What we don't know is whether this is for Coolidge or against him. That Elizabeth City delega tion to Savannah, it seems, was just bound to bring home the bacon. Underwood's campaign man ager says that events of the] past week have given a decided impetus to the Underwood cam paign. So say they all. The best news we've heard of in weeks is that the Camden County Highway Commission j has at last seen the light and ac-, cepted the State's terms for the paving of the Camden-Curri tuck road in that county. We knew that they'd see it even tually, but we were afraid that all the money for this district would be spent elsewhere be fore the commissioners discov ered the error of their way. Under Difficulties The editor's time and mind are still divided between his work and the illness of members of his household. The Little Editor, in bed since Saturday, March 29, is able to be up now; but his mother, though believed to be better, is still unable to look after the affairs of the household, to say nothing of her desk as telegraph editor. The editor therefore finds on his hands not only added duties, at his desk and in his home, but also he finds himself unable to keep his mind on his work, by reason of anxiety or interrup tion or the constant expectation thereof, even during the time that he is at his desk. Various news items, we know, have failed to Ret into the paper during the Inst ten days, and it is only for fear that readers of this newspaper may not under stand these omisions that we mention, from time to time, in this column gome of the difficul ties under which we are work ing.

SMALL <Cot?*ifht. 1924, By Tin Advftftca) New York, April 9.?The problem if who shall pay for radio broadcast Inir, held by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to bo the greatest puzzle in the wireless situation today, prom lues to resolve itself along "the lines 'it all modern economic or business questions. That Is to say. the ulti mate consumer will have to foot the bills. All of the radio waves are flowing in that direction. Inventors are striving for the achievement of a system of broadcasting which will permit only certain patented and li censed receivers to "listen In." Already for the transmission and reception of Morse or telegraphic signals it Is claimed the problem has been solved. Under this system there Is a "toning" of the instru ments which will permit only the re ceivers of a given "tone" to pick up the signal sent out in that "key." Toning, as applied to this system, is a very different thing from the or dinary "tuning" of a radio receiving set. The whole receiving outfit is to be "toned." Toned repeaters for the relaying of Morse wireless signals are a commercial asset of radio work today. The problem that remains is to. develop the toning system to apply it! to wireless telephony which consti-| tutes "radio" in the world concep-! tion of the word today. John Hays Hammond, ii\, son of> the famous mining engineer of Washington, has sailed for Italy with ' what he claims to be a solution of. the broadcasting situation. He has | announced that he will establish the J system in Italy and that no receiv-? Ing sets other inan those construct- I cn under hla patents will be able to! pick up the signals and the programs { sent out upon the ether from his ! broadcasting station. It Is proposed I that the patented receiving Rets shall ] be rented on a monthly or annual basis Just ns wired telephones are rented from the Bell Companies in this country. Mr. Hammor\d lias not disclosed the secret of his new sets but it is believed by radio engineers here that tie has hit upon the "toning" solu- j Hon. Mr. Hammond has frankly an nounced that what may be accom plished in Italy very easily may prove exertmely difficult In the Unit ed States. In Italy the wireless aud ience has not been feted and nur i tured upon free programs and un - derstands that it must bear its share ? of the burder of radio broadcasting. *?' The United States has progressed to that point of free entertainment 1; where it would be little short of a ''revolution to try suddenly to install j in this country a system of broad j casting which would be utterly mute jto every set except those manufac tured by a given concern and lic ensed. for use in taking material out oX the ether. John Hays Hammond. Jr., has reached such a peak of eminence in wireless achievement that his views of the broadcasting problem and his i plan of solving it must be accepted ! by the scientific world at. their full I value. It was young Mr. Hammond who Invented and perfected the wire less system of controlling vessels at Jsea. Giant battleships with no crews aboard have been made to do the (Will of a lone man stationed on shore at the switchboard of the wireless 'controlling apparatus. Europe is torn today with discus sion and contradiction over the re ports that a wireless method of stop j ping automobiles and airplane mo tors has been perfected. First it was said the Germans had achieved this result. Then England claimed It. Whether or not yonng Mr. Hammond has been working on this phase of his favorite field is not generally kno?.\n. but In any event the United States authorities are not nearly so excited as those or rival groups of European countries. Meantime the radio broadcasting companies are extremely interested in the Hammond claims as to exclu sive reception patents. It was claimed by the so-called "independ ent" stations during the recent con troversy with the American Tele phone & Telegraph Company that the telephone trust "was endeavor ing to devise a service that would drive all others from the air; en deavoring to send out a program so scrambled that only certain licensed receiving sots could unscramble It." There can no longer l>?* any doubt but that this is the solution being sought and It may be at hand. Every one admits that broadcasting expense must he met in some way, some per manent way, which will not leave the radio audience forever the reci pients of charity programs. Thought They Had Asher Pegged But He Showed 'Em "The Lone Wolf' of Washington Bootleg Circles Has Staged Another Roundup That Shows He Still Has Purveyors of "White IVhile" Guessing n> Wll.1,1AM c. I,YON" (Copyright, 1924, By Tht Advance) Washington. April 9. ? Rivalling .the famous "Izzy Einstein" for "va j rlotiH disguises, James LeRoy Aaher. < known in police and bootleg circles I In Washington as "the lone wolf"| 'has again "stirred 'em up" in the. Nation's capital. Washington's bootlegger ellt thought they had the lone wolf pret ty well pegged and they were begin ning to think they all knew hlm.j Last week he put on half a dozen j disguises In a single day and the subsequent round up netted some ! 125 arr.'cro What Asher did first was to put, on the make-up of a simple ash man.1 In this disguise he made two pur chases of liquor. iNear hy was the bootleg hound's automobile with the curtains down. He Jumped It) and In a few minutes emerged as a real go-getter book agent. Ho piled | his wily talk from door to door and' made more purchases of liquor. Hack again to the automobile and another quick change. The 'Mono wolf" appeared next as ail Insurance agent. He talked to more people and obtained more liquor. In bin gracious and more or less confidential manner. Asher seems to be able to convince the unwary boot legger that he hat a wonderful thirst. He Inspires confiilenci and gets more "white mule." For ten days he moved about In |h*i capital's bootlegging circles In Ms various disguises and !*ft behind, or rather carried along to police headquarters, a choice of list of ia?es which, be ginning last Aat.ti"J:iy and continuing ov??r the we#?k end. discovered to their sorrow had entertained no less a dignity than the famed "lone wolf." One day he meekly drove a gravel truck about Washington streets. He looked like Antonio or just plain Tony. No first class bootlegger would think for a minute that Tony was anything but a thrlsty wop. and as he had the price of a pint of the stuff and he got It. Another n*me to the police. Then Asher donned the "soup and fish" and moved In Home of the high er circles. It Is suld he represented some of the high steppers and **as properly introduced and got some real smuggled stuff?also ho got some more names. So after a busy ten days and many personality changes, James Leroy Asher sat back at police headquarters and dropped the leads for the pofice "where to go" l!at. All rtay they brought in all classes of alleged bootleggers. One was a butler from a millionaire home. Another was a hotel manager. So rapidly they came into two police stations that the S. O. S. sign went up. For something like two years now Asher ha* moved about in Washing ton and nearby points, but he now has some of the bootlegging 400 of Washington hanging over the ropes worse than ever. And the bootleggers were quite sure they had him pegged! Fl'NKKAL CAPTAIN GAUD The funeral of Captain John H. Gard was conducted at his home. 605 Southern Avenue. Wednesday after noon at 4 o'clock by Rev. R. F. Hall assisted by Dr. N. II. D. Wilton. The quartet from Ulackwell Memorial choir rendered special selections. The members of the Order of Odd Fellows and Red Men acted as pall bearers and these orders had charge of the burial services at Hollywood Cemetery. Many beautiful floral offerings were given and the funeral was largely attended. Captain Gard died at the Commu nity Hospital at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He was 59 years old and has been in a serious condition for quite a while. He was born in Dare' County but-since his boyhood has| made his home in this city and at the time of his illness was ca.ptain on the tug Calvert Crary, operated by D. E. Williams of South Mills.
